Shi Shuangshuang was surprised: "You've broken off the relationship? Why?"
Ai Xue hesitated, a hint of embarrassment on her face. "I... I can't say. Anyway, I was quite surprised to see her at such a banquet. I hope that man from earlier won't be fooled by her again."
Her words made Shi Shuangshuang even more suspicious that there was some secret involved, and she couldn't help but try to find out more. However, Ai Xue only mentioned that Ellie had severed ties with her family because of some bad things. As for what those things were, she hesitated and said that Ellie was, after all, her cousin, and she couldn't say.
After Ai Xue was called away by her companions, Shi Shuangshuang looked at Ellie, who was chatting and laughing freely next to Yu Chengwu, with a dark look in her eyes.
Ai Xue naturally saw it too. Her hatred for her cousin, Ellie, was no less than that for Shi Shuangshuang. However, things were different here compared to abroad. Ellie was standing next to the eldest son of the Yu family, whose status and position were far superior to her male companion. Therefore, she could only rely on Shi Shuangshuang.
I just hope Shi Shuangshuang can be of some use and crush that bitch Ellie to death as soon as possible!
It would be best if you never got up in this lifetime and stayed in the mud forever!
Ye Weiwei has a very strong sense of malice.
Ai Xue thought she was far enough away that "Ellie" wouldn't notice, but little did she know that Ye Weiwei had already seen through her abnormality.
Upon hearing Ai Xue's name and seeing her dressed in a white floral outfit, she raised an eyebrow.
What a coincidence! I ran into Ellie's cousin at a banquet.
Shouldn't her cousin be abroad right now? Why did she come back? And the man with her, Zuo Chenglong, the second-generation scion of the Green Dragon Gang?
hehe!
Excellent! Excellent!
At this moment, Zuo Chenglong was listening to his subordinates' report while secretly groping Ai Xue's body with his lewd hands. When Ye Weiwei heard them say that they hadn't gotten any information out of that person and that he had been thrown into the ore warehouse and wouldn't live past tomorrow, her heart sank.
Could the person they're talking about be my second brother?
Thinking about how they tortured her second brother and said he wouldn't live past tomorrow, Ye Weiwei couldn't control her murderous intent!
Fortunately, Qin Xiao was right next to her. The two were very close. As soon as he noticed that something was wrong with Ye Weiwei, Qin Xiao hugged her and coaxed her softly, "Baby, wait a little longer. We'll go back after the auction ends."
Ye Weiwei snapped out of her daze, a hint of coquettishness on her face: "It's all your fault! You knew... yet you still treated me like that!"
Qin Xiao took Ye Weiwei's hand and kissed it lightly: "Okay, okay, it's all my fault."
Those who saw the two being intimate all had a hint of interest in their eyes, but when they looked at Ye Weiwei, their gazes unconsciously carried a touch of disdain.
As expected, the only son of the Yu family gets whatever he wants. On such an occasion, he actually brought his lover here and was being all lovey-dovey with her without any regard for the occasion. Didn't he see that the eldest daughter of the Shi family was already spitting fire in her eyes?
This eldest son of the Yu family is indeed a hopeless case!
Ye Weiwei and Qin Xiao ignored the strange looks from those around them.
The banquet ended quickly, and the host announced that the auction was about to begin.
When Ye Weiwei's mental energy swept over the antiques waiting to be brought to the auction stage backstage again, her gaze sharpened, and she gently tugged at Qin Xiao's sleeve.
Qin Xiao lowered his head, his lips brushing against Ye Weiwei's ear. To outsiders, it looked like the two were being intimate, and they disdainfully looked away.
Ye Weiwei gently wrote the number 8 on Qin Xiao's chest.
Qin Xiao looked down at Ye Weiwei: Are you sure?
Ye Weiwei: Yes.
She had already checked it once before, but found nothing. Fortunately, she scanned it again with her mental power and discovered that someone had put something in the bottle of lot number 8. The thing was covered with codes, which should be special communication symbols, and that was Qin Xiao's mission target.
Qin Xiao immediately wanted to go out to check, but Ye Weiwei grabbed him, saying, "My stomach isn't feeling well, I need to go to the restroom."
Qin Xiao: "Is it serious? I'll go with you."
Ye Weiwei shook her head, "No need, this is the women's restroom, men are not allowed."
Qin Xiao unconsciously squeezed her hand harder.
Ye Weiwei gave a slight shudder and broke free. "You wait here for me to come back. I want to see what good things are at the auction later. You promised to buy me anything I like."
Qin Xiao immediately declared with boundless pride, "I'll buy everything you fancy!"
Ye Weiwei giggled, "Then I'll wait."
After saying that, she turned and left like a butterfly.
"Young Master Yu, you really go to great lengths to win a smile from your beauty. Aren't you afraid of upsetting your fiancée?"
A spoiled brat who usually didn't get along with Yu Chengwu sneered, "I just saw Miss Shi sitting alone in the corner, looking very lonely and forlorn."
Qin Xiao glared coldly at the man, narrowing his eyes arrogantly: "My affairs are none of your business!"
"Hmph! Who cares about you! I just couldn't stand by and watch, so I spoke up for the eldest daughter of the Shi family."
Qin Xiao curled his lips in a mocking smile: "Isn't it because you can't have the eldest daughter of the Shi family and are jealous of me that you're saying this?"
"You...you stop talking nonsense!"
The man glared at Qin Xiao hatefully, then turned and left.
Ai Xue took Zuo Chenglong's arm and walked forward. "Young Master Yu, Miss Shi is a good girl, unlike the women around you. Please cherish her and don't be blinded by the illusions of some people and mistake a fish eye for a pearl."
Qin Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked at Ai Xue coldly, "Who are you? How dare you point fingers at me, the eldest son of the Yu family? Zuo Chenglong, you brought such an ill-mannered woman to this kind of banquet, aren't you afraid of disgracing your prestigious Green Dragon Gang?"
Zuo Chenglong was so angry at Qin Xiao's blunt words that his face turned black. He didn't expect Ai Xue to say such things to Yu Chengwu. He knew that Yu Chengwu cared a lot about his reputation. Ai Xue's words seemed to be for Yu Chengwu's own good, but in fact they were a slap in the face to him in public. No wonder Yu Chengwu was angry.
Even if it were him, he would get angry.
Zuo Chenglong looked at Ai Xue with displeasure and said, "How dare you speak like that? You have no manners at all! Apologize to Young Master Yu right now!"
Ai Xue didn't expect that just a few words of provocation would make Yu Chengwu angry. The thought that he was protecting that little bitch Ellie made Ai Xue extremely angry, especially since Zuo Chenglong made her apologize to Yu Chengwu without saying a word.
Although she was angry and resentful, Ai Xue knew that circumstances were beyond her control and she had no choice but to apologize.
So, reluctantly and feeling wronged, she went up to Yu Chengwu and apologized.
"Young Master Yu, I'm sorry, I meant well but things went wrong. I won't be so reckless next time!"
