Country Y.
Ye Haiming, along with Ye Ru and Ye Ting, entered Herbert Smith's residence.
This place resembles a vast Nordic-style palace, or a castle inhabited by English nobles, so luxurious it's astonishing.
This time, Ye Ting displayed the utmost politeness, sincerely expressing his apologies to Herbert Smith and presenting him with an antique treasure worth fifty million as compensation.
Herbert was very satisfied with this, but what truly pleased him was Ye Ru's performance.
At this moment, Ye Ru's foot injury had healed, and she took the initiative to invite Herbert to dance. Herbert gladly accepted, hugged Ye Ru tightly in his arms, and was extremely happy.
After Ye Haiming tactfully led Ye Ting away, leaving only the two of them, Ye Ru took out Ye Huanhuan's photo from her bag, gently placed it in Herbert's hand, and then said with feigned modesty:
“Mr. Herbert, you like me largely because of my beauty. But actually, you haven’t seen my sister yet. Look at her, her beauty is absolutely stunning. In my opinion, only such an exceptional beauty is worthy of you.”
Her words carried a subtle implication, seemingly telling Herbert that while she herself was beautiful, there was someone even more beautiful than her. And that person was none other than her younger sister, Ye Huanhuan.
It's common knowledge that Herbert has a fondness for beautiful women. Right now, he's examining the photograph, and in just a moment, he's become deeply captivated by Ye Huanhuan's mesmerizing phoenix eyes.
Ye Ru was absolutely right; Ye Huanhuan was indeed prettier than her.
The photo shows Ye Huanhuan without any makeup, yet she looks elegant, refined, and stunning.
The black dress she wore perfectly outlined her shapely figure, causing Herbert Smith to stare at her for a moment, momentarily lost in thought.
Ye Ru was quite satisfied with Herbert Smith's reaction.
In fact, she had someone secretly take the photo on her behalf, with the aim of diverting Herbert Smith's attention from her.
Herbert Smith finally came to his senses. He turned to look at Ye Ru and asked:
"Miss Ye, you just said that this woman, who is as beautiful as an angel, is your sister? Is that... really true?" Her tone was filled with excitement and anticipation.
Ye Ru smiled and nodded.
“Of course I’m telling the truth. She’s currently in China. If you don’t believe me, after my father and I return to China this time, you can also take some time to come to China and visit our Ye family. Soon, my father will be hosting a grand banquet for my sister, and you can take this opportunity to get to know my dear sister.”
Herbert Smith gently stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then asked Ye Ru:
"Miss Ye, although I don't understand the meaning behind your actions, just seeing the photos has made me deeply attracted to your sister. Could you tell me why she didn't come to Y Country with you this time?"
Ye Ru gave him a polite and friendly smile and explained:
"My sister has been missing for over twenty years and was only recently found by my father. She is currently studying etiquette in China, so she did not come to Y country with my father this time. However, if she had come, I firmly believe that she would also have been captivated by your gentle and charming allure. After all, a man as outstanding as you is rare in China."
Ye Ru's praise made Herbert Smith feel extremely happy and satisfied, and at the same time, it made his confidence soar to its peak.
However, he wasn't blinded by Ye Ru's flattery; on the contrary, he keenly sensed the underlying problem. Therefore, he didn't hesitate to ask:
“Miss Ye, your father arranged this meeting specifically so that I could get to know you. But now you've shown me a picture of your sister. If your father knew about this, wouldn't he be unhappy about it?”
Ye Ru already had a plan in mind to answer Herbert Smith's question. She smiled slightly and calmly explained:
“Mr. Herbert, if you truly love me, you will naturally meet my stunningly beautiful sister when you return home. If you are attracted to her, I certainly don’t want you to become entangled with my sister after you’re with me. Rather than getting into a complicated situation later, it’s better to show you my sister’s picture now. That way, if you like her, I can make arrangements in advance; if you don’t like her, I’ll have a clear understanding of the situation.”
Ye Ru's answer not only cleverly dispelled Herbert Smith's doubts, but also demonstrated her cautious attitude towards the relationship and her concern for her family.
Her words revealed a maturity and rationality that made Herbert Smith admire her even more.
“I will accept the photos, Miss Ye. Since you have put it that way, I really must find some time to visit your Ye family and meet your beautiful and charming sister.”
Herbert Smith's lips curled slightly upwards as he stared intently at the photograph in his hand, as if he could see the woman behind it who captivated his heart.
Seeing Herbert Smith's performance, Ye Ru was very satisfied. She had deliberately brought out Ye Huanhuan's photo to pique Herbert's interest.
It now appears that her plan has succeeded.
“Mr. Herbott, the Ye family welcomes you at any time. I will tell my father the good news later and have him return home in advance to personally greet you,” Ye Ru said with a smile, showing her respect and regard for Herbott.
Hearing this, Herbert nodded in satisfaction. His fingers gently caressed Ye Huanhuan's exquisite face in the photograph, his eyes filled with anticipation.
“Miss Ye, please make the arrangements. What I hope for is to see the beautiful woman in the photo as expected.” Herbert’s voice was deep and magnetic, revealing a deep longing.
Seeing Herbert's infatuation with Ye Huanhuan, Ye Ru's lips curled into a faint, cold smile.
