Chapter 318 Provocation
Ye Jinmo was stunned: "You don't welcome me?"
She and Ye Chong beside her looked at each other, very confused.
She had never met Dr. Vincent before.
"I am a member of Professor Xie Xun's team. Professor Xie Xun was invited to come tonight. Did you make a mistake?"
The security guard nodded: "No mistake, it was Dr. Vincent who personally gave the order, saying that Miss Ye Jinmo is not welcome here."
This makes people angry.
Ye Chong's face darkened as well: "What a big ego, Jinmo has never seen him before, what did I do to upset him?"
Ye Jinqian stood aside without saying anything, frowning.
He had met Vincent several times and had a good impression of him. Why was it that this time...
"You're not welcome, right?" Ye Chong took his apprentice's hand, "Jinmo, call Xie Xun and tell him you're not going. You can't get in here."
After saying this, he took his apprentice and was about to leave.
The security guard was anxious: "Dr. Vincent just doesn't welcome Ye Jinmo, he didn't say he doesn't welcome you!"
This time, Vincent specifically told him to give Ye Jinqian and Ye Chong a warm welcome when he met them.
Ye Chong slapped the hand that the security guard extended to him and said, "Go tell that Vincent that if he doesn't welcome my apprentice, he doesn't welcome me! Why is a foreigner putting on airs in China? How did our Jinmo offend him?"
He turned around and was about to leave angrily.
The security guard tried to comfort him: "Don't leave yet, I'll go pass the message!"
Ye Jinqian also looked annoyed: "Master, there may be some misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding? I've never seen anyone kick someone out with an invitation. This is the first time I've encountered such a person! I'd rather not attend such a disrespectful academic exchange meeting!"
Just as they were about to raise their feet, the security guards came running out from behind.
"Don't go, don't go!"
The security guard blocked their way and panted, "Dr. Vincent invites you in."
"Invite me? No way!"
Ye Chong was about to leave angrily.
The security guard was really anxious: "Mr. Ye, please don't, I beg you, please don't leave!"
"Okay, I won't leave. Let that old bastard Vincent come out and apologize to my apprentice in person, and then I'll go in!"
Ye Jinmo opened her mouth and was about to say something but he glared at her and she shut up silently.
She also wondered, how had she offended Vincent?
The security guard sighed and looked embarrassed: "Okay, I'll go and tell them again, please wait a moment!"
After a while, the security guard came out with a blond old man.
He was wearing a dark blue suit, had a big belly, his blond hair was a little messy from jogging, and the thick lenses of his glasses were bouncing on his nose.
When I got there, I was still panting.
Vincent took a deep breath and then greeted Ye Jinqian in broken Chinese: "Qian, long time no see."
Ye Jinqian nodded politely, his eyes cold.
Then, Vincent looked at Ye Chong: "Mr. Ye, welcome to my exchange meeting!"
Before he finished speaking, Ye Chong snorted coldly: "Tell me, how did my apprentice offend you?"
Only then did Vincent notice the girl behind him. When he saw her appearance and temperament, his eyes flashed with amazement.
The woman who kidnapped his grandson is so beautiful?
The unhappiness of the afternoon surged into his mind, and he suppressed his anger: "It's like this, Miss Ye is a member of the Zhong family, and the Zhong family sent someone to kidnap my grandson, so I don't welcome her."
Ye Jinmo's head was full of question marks. She asked in fluent English: "Dr. Vincent, you said that the Zhong family kidnapped your grandson. Do you have any evidence?"
"certainly!"
Vincent took out his cell phone and played the B&B’s surveillance footage from that afternoon. The “Zhong” brooches worn by the men in black were particularly conspicuous.
Everyone present was silent.
Ye Jinmo frowned.
That brooch indeed belongs to the Zhong family.
All the powerful families in the imperial capital have their own brooches to indicate their identities.
I'm afraid the only person who could do such a thing as kidnapping is Zhong Bochuan.
Ye Chong obviously thought of something: "This matter is not Jinmo's fault. There are so many people in the Zhong family. It is understandable that you do not welcome the Zhong family. But I am the master of the daughter of the Zhong family, and I am also involved with the Zhong family. In this case, I will not go in."
Ye Jinqian also nodded and prepared to leave with his master.
Vincent was anxious. The most important reason he held this exchange meeting was to invite Ye Chong. Now that Ye Chong was not coming, what was the point?
Ye Chong looked at him and said, "Our Chinese country's collective responsibility system has been abolished for hundreds of years. I didn't expect that foreign countries are so feudal, and other people's mistakes are also blamed on Jinmo."
Vincent didn’t understand collective responsibility and feudalism. He only knew that Ye Chong was angry, and that this matter had nothing to do with Ye Jinmo himself, but might be related to other family members.
He glanced at Ye Jinmo and softened his attitude: "How about this, I apologize to this lady, and please come in."
Ye Chong wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't open his mouth.
It's not a big deal for him as an old man. Mainly, he wants Jinmo to see more of the world and believes that Vincent has some skills.
Ye Jinmo took Master's arm and said, "Master, let's go in."
How embarrassing would it be if things went wrong in this kind of situation?
Besides, she had the wisdom of the entire team in her hands, and she had to present it at this exchange meeting.
Ye Chong snorted coldly: "Okay, for Jin Mo's sake, I'll go in. I tell you, even though you're a foreigner, if you bully my apprentice, I won't let you go!"
Vincent nodded repeatedly, feeling surprised.
Several people entered the conference room.
Ye Jinmo found her position and took it. Next to her were Xie Xun and the team members.
She handed the sorted information to Xie Xun.
Vincent walked onto the stage: "Welcome everyone to the academic exchange meeting I'm hosting. I hope we can have a pleasant time tonight. I want to thank someone in particular here, Miss Ji Siman. My grandson got into trouble this afternoon, and it was she who saved him!"
Following the applause, a graceful figure walked in from the door.
Ye Jinmo looked and found that this person's eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Ji Sichen's. Upon closer inspection, this person's eyebrows and eyes were too raised, and his facial features were not as delicate as Ji Sichen's.
Ji Siman walked forward, nodded slightly, and then sat next to Ye Jinmo.
The meeting began and the medical team that came today began to take the stage to present their recent research results.
Ji Siman looked at Ye Jinmo and smiled: "You are my cousin's girlfriend, right?"
Ye Jinmo turned her head and raised her eyebrows.
This is the daughter of Ji Sichen’s second uncle.
She didn't deny it.
"Hello, we are a family from now on." Ji Siman said in a low voice and stretched out his hand.
Ye Jinmo responded briefly, her attention still on the speech on the stage.
Ji Siman's eyes turned and he leaned close to her ear.
"My cousin often tells me about you. Do you have a bad relationship with your family? When I went to rescue Vincent's grandson, I saw that it was the Zhong family who kidnapped him. You just came to Haicheng today, and your family did such a thing. I'm afraid they don't want you to get along with Dr. Vincent, right?"
After a few whispers, Ye Jinmo suddenly turned around and smiled coldly.
"You are well-informed, Miss Ji. We don't seem to be familiar with each other. What is your intention in trying to sow discord between me and my family when you first met me?"
