Chapter 84
Staring blankly at Lin Qi's somewhat arrogant and complacent back as the distance between them and Xie Changshi gradually widened, Nie Liu couldn't help but look back at Yan Yingyao, who was also stroking his chin with a thoughtful look, and said, "Brother Yan, is there something wrong?"
Yan Yingyao retracted his gaze, glanced at him, and suddenly laughed: "Isn't it interesting to show you a fool asking for trouble?"
Will Xie Changshi care about Lin Qi?
The reason is nothing more than Rong Jing.
Did Lin Qi really think that his identity as the Second Young Master Lin would impress Xie Changshi?
How could someone be so stupid, and yet others still treasure his stupidity? Yan Yingyao didn't quite understand it at first, until he saw the behavior of Lin Chen, the biological son of the Lin family. He was really... arrogant, domineering, and stupid.
Yan Yingyao moved his wine glass towards Lin Ciyan's and gently clinked it with his. He looked at the young man with a distracted look in his eyes. He said, "Although what I said may not sound nice, I still have to say that not growing up in the Lin family is a great blessing."
Lin Ciyan couldn't help but laugh: "I accept this consolation."
"Then let's find a perfect spot to see how embarrassed your second brother will be." Yan Yingyao turned his gaze and pointed to the side. When Lin Ciyan looked over, he happened to meet the eyes of Huai Wenmin and his group. Nie Liu also saw them and immediately waved excitedly. He couldn't wait to pull people over and greeted them, "Brother Huai, sister-in-law."
Huai Wenmin remembered Nie Liu introducing them to Rong Jing, and was deeply grateful to him. Seeing his excitement, a smile spread across his lips. When he approached, he patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "You look a bit stronger. It seems you've had a good meal at Master Rong's place."
Nie Liu pinched his belly with a look of horror: "Is this true? Am I fat?"
Yan Yingyao glanced at him: "Don't you know what's going on?"
Nie Liu was so anxious that he was spinning around in circles: "No, I have to lose weight starting today. I will skip a meal tomorrow."
Seeing how anxious he was, the others couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Changing the topic, Yan Yingyao introduced Lin Ciyan to Huai Wenmin and his wife. In the recent period of time, Huai Wenmin had learned about the Lin family's affairs from his friends, and naturally knew Lin Ciyan's identity and embarrassing position in the Lin family. However, in his opinion, Lin Ciyan's appearance, demeanor and even temperament were much better than that of Lin Qi.
At least, the eyes that Lin Ciyan looked at him in were pure, unlike Lin Qi's, which were filled with ambition and desire.
Some people really make you like them at first sight.
"Mr. Lin, nice to meet you." Huai Wenmin smiled and clinked glasses with Lin Ciyan, then told the others about Rong Jing. "Master Rong has just been taken by Shangqing staff to check on the auction items. He should be back in a few minutes."
"I see." Yan Yingyao nodded and said nothing more. Instead, he turned his gaze to Xie Changshi not far away, waiting to watch the fun.
far away.
Xie Changshi was wearing a custom-made suit. He was tall and had long legs. His handsome features were tinged with a hint of obvious coldness. He looked completely different from his usual self in front of the mirror.
Song Qing stood beside him, looking down at today's collection brochure. Meanwhile, the person in charge of the Shangqing Auction exchanged pleasantries with Xie Changshi, saying with a smile, "I really didn't expect Mr. Xie to come today. This small auction is a great addition and a great addition."
Song Qing pricked up his ears when he heard this and couldn't help but complain in his heart that this person in charge really knows how to talk.
The two words "Shangqing" are elegant in everyone's eyes, and there is no need for Mr. Xie from their family to add any more face.
Xie Changshi was quite polite today. After all, the little zombie at home had some things left here for auction. A smile appeared on his lips, and the indifference between his eyebrows was blown away by the wind and snow.
"Mr. Xie, do you have any collections you're interested in? Whether it's for auction or not, just let me know."
"You're welcome. If I find something I like, I'll take the picture myself later. I came here today mainly because I'm worried about the kids at home."
Children at home?
Hearing these new words, the person in charge was stunned for a moment, but seeing Xie Changshi's expression, he didn't seem to want to explain. He looked at Special Assistant Song beside him with a gloomy look. Special Assistant Song coughed lightly and reminded him, "Lot 32 is a jade provided by Mr. Rong, our partner of Mr. Xie."
Person in charge: “!”
He said that the invitation to this auction had been sent to the Xie family before, but he had never seen Xie Changshi come. He thought it was red rain today, and it turned out that he was here to keep the family in check.
The person in charge relied on his impressive memory and tried hard to find the owner of collection No. 32, but the first person that came to his mind was Huai Wenmin... No, Huai Wenmin seemed to have brought a young man with him.
At that time, Huai Wenmin introduced: "This is the owner of the jade, Master Rong Jingrong."
He didn't think much of it, but when he left, he heard the staff around him say in surprise: "I know him, he's an amazing fortune teller!"
Still a metaphysical person?!
Xie Changshi’s vision is quite interesting.
In the past, when they talked about Xie Changshi privately, they all said that Xie Changshi had high standards and looked down on everyone, no matter if they were socialites or successful people of the same age.
It turns out that I like someone like Master Rong.
He sighed inwardly, praising himself: "I'm honored to have met Master Rong. He's a young talent, and a perfect match for President Xie."
Song Qing: “…”
In his heart, he once again sighed that this person in charge was sweet-mouthed and good at speaking, and his praise touched Xie Changshi's heart.
What Mr. Xie in their family likes most is others praising Rong Jing and praising him and Rong Jing as a good match.
As soon as the person in charge opened his mouth, he got it all right!
While Xie Changshi wasn't paying attention, Song Qing silently gave the person in charge a thumbs up. When the person in charge saw it, he smiled so hard that his eyes almost narrowed.
Are you kidding? With his mouth, he can even make the dead come alive. He is just praising me a few times now, it's no big deal!
Just as the person in charge was feeling extremely proud, he suddenly caught sight of an approaching dark figure out of the corner of his eye. He subconsciously looked up and saw two figures. He recognized the taller one, the eldest son of the Lin family, and now the head of the Lin family. His name was Lin Chen. He had been to many auctions, but he had not bought many collections.
As for the person behind, I don’t know him and I’m not interested in him.
The person in charge glanced at Xie Changshi and guessed that the two men were most likely coming for him. Realizing this, he couldn't help but feel a bit intrigued. From the time he met Xie Changshi until now, although everyone around him had been eager to establish a relationship with him, no one had made a move so far. The Lin family was the first one.
I don’t know if he is simply brave or if he has some confidence that he doesn’t know about?
Noticing the gaze of the person in charge, Xie Changshi himself did not show any change in expression, but Lin Chen, one of the parties involved, was a little uneasy.
Although he had heard Lin Qi mention to Nie Liu and the others that Xie Changshi suspected he knew him, why would Xie Changshi know Lin Qi? Logically speaking, it was normal for Xie Changshi to be familiar with their parents, but as for these two younger generations... the possibility was really unlikely.
However, seeing Lin Qi's confident look, Lin Chen decided to trust him for once.
In silence, Lin Qi quickly walked up to Xie Changshi and the other two. He wore an impeccable, gentle smile, like a harmless white camellia. Facing the interested glances from Song Qing and the Shangqing representative, he remained calm. He smiled and raised his glass towards Xie Changshi, "Mr. Xie, nice to see you again. I didn't expect you to attend today's auction."
Xie Changshi put one hand in his pocket and looked at Lin Qi with his narrow eyes.
Ever since the Lin Qi brothers appeared, everyone's attention was focused on them.
They are waiting.
If he treated Lin Qi well, perhaps the Lin family's status would become extraordinary in the future. After all, from the outside, it was a stepping stone to the Xie family.
As they stared at each other silently, cold sweat dripped down Lin Qi's forehead, and even the hand holding the wine glass began to stiffen. He was a little confused about the current situation. Why did Xie Changshi ignore his greeting? It was obviously not like that that day.
Lin Chen seemed to have noticed something, and his expression changed slightly. Just as he was about to take Lin Qi's hand and apologize to Xie Changshi and his group, Xie Changshi looked past Lin Qi at the young man who had just walked out of the lounge and called out, "A Jing."
Rong Jing heard the familiar voice, looked up, and when he noticed Xie Changshi, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
He strode over, his eyes shining. Before he even got close, he asked Xie Changshi, "Why didn't you send me a message when you came?"
"I wanted to come directly to you." Xie Changshi took two steps forward. When Rong Jing approached, he took the opportunity to put his arm around the boy's slender waist. The moment he missed Lin Qi, a smile appeared on his lips, and he said sarcastically, "I thought that Second Young Master Lin would know that 'I've heard of you for a long time' is not always a good word."
…
"Fuck, Mr. Xie, Brother Xie, Boss Xie, you didn't see how ugly the expression on Lin Qi's face was when you walked past him with your arms around our Master Rong. It stinks worse than a toilet that's been stagnating for three years!"
Nie Liu stood in front of the sofa in the private room, waving his arms excitedly. Although the description that came out of his mouth was appropriate, it did make Yan Yingyao and others feel disgusted, especially since Yan Yingyao had a half-eaten exploding cake in his hand.
Yan Yingyao: “…”
I'm so annoyed. I really want to push Nie Liu into that toilet that hasn't been cleaned in three years.
Nie Liu was completely oblivious. He excitedly turned around and asked the staff member standing behind him. He waved at them and asked, "Can you ask your person in charge to give me a copy of the surveillance video? In case I feel bad, I can take it out and take a look."
The staff member who witnessed the scene almost couldn't hold it in. He coughed and nodded quickly: "Please wait, I'll contact Mr. Xu."
"Okay, okay."
While Nie Liu waited for the surveillance footage to arrive, Rong Jing huddled beside Xie Changshi, muttering quietly, "After today, the rumors about President Xie being cold and ruthless will escalate."
Xie Changshi peeled the grapes with his eyes lowered. His fingers were long and his movements were nimble. He peeled off the skin in just a few strokes and then fed the juicy grapes into Rong Jing's mouth.
Hearing Rong Jing's words, he didn't even bat an eyelid, and said nonchalantly: "That's good, so I don't have to worry about people like Lin Qi coming to bother me."
"Mr. Xie, Ah Jing," Lin Ciyan stood up and looked at Xie Changshi and Rong Jing. When they both looked at him, he took a deep breath and smiled with his eyes curved. "Thank you for letting me vent my anger today."
Lin Ciyan is not a fool, nor is he as shameless as Lin Qi. He knows that Xie Changshi did this today purely for Rong Jing's sake and did not want to let Lin Qi have an easy time.
So, when thanking Xie Chang, he also had to thank Rong Jing.
Rong Jing drank pomegranate juice instead of wine. Upon hearing this, he winked at Lin Ciyan and said with a smile, "You're welcome. It's my duty to vent my anger for my friend."
And after this incident, Lin Qi's status in Lin Chen's eyes might drop by three points.
"Why do you say that?" Rong Jing asked Yan Yingyao curiously.
Yan Yingyao explained: "Lin Chen is arrogant. He lost face so badly. It would be strange if he would be nice to Lin Qi."
Rong Jing: "Isn't that his dear little brother?"
Yan Yingyao said, "Only those who bring honor to him are good brothers."
Less than two seconds after the words fell, the staff member who had returned to the private room with a copy of the surveillance footage heard this, glanced at the group, and quietly added, "A colleague said that they ran into the two young masters of the Lin family in the basement garage just now. The eldest young master slapped the second young master."
