"Does that mean, ma'am, you call out to everyone older than yourself as you walk down the street?"
Qin Xiaohe was stunned, not expecting that Ying Yan, who was always aloof, would shut her up like that.
Moreover, the young master of the Qin family is arrogant and unrealistic. No one can imagine that he can find a marriage partner, let alone what his attitude towards his wife would be.
"Now she knows, right? I'm your aunt!"
Ke Meiyu had just calmed down when she looked up at her and couldn't help but laugh again, "Ying Yan, this person's taste is so terrible that it's unbearable to look at. He's sure to leave a deep impression on people when they first meet him, and give them nightmares at night."
"You!" Qin Xiaohe was so angry that she stepped forward to pull the person away.
Ying Yan held the person aside and said helplessly to Ke Meiyu, "There's nothing I can do. Some people are just full of scheming in their bones and can't calm down to learn anything elegant."
"Yan Yan, how can you talk like that? I'm your aunt, I've watched you grow up since you were little, how can you say that to me?" Qin Xiaohe said, full of hurt. "I know you must have misunderstood. Your maternal grandfather and grandmother had an accident, and your uncle and I asked around for help, but you know we're just an ordinary family. Your grandfather must have offended someone in power, so we couldn't do anything about it."
Ying Yan said bluntly, "I wouldn't dare, Auntie. You know what really happened. Don't treat others like fools. Besides, my maternal grandparents never recognized you as their adopted daughter. It was your grandmother who spread the rumors everywhere."
"Don't think that just because I'm young and don't know anything, you can fool me. You should know how your father died, right?"
Do you need me to repeat myself verbatim?
Qin Xiaohe felt a chill run down her spine. She had been afraid of the Qin family patriarch since she was a child, and secretly coaxed the young lady. Now that the young lady was gone, she wanted to coax the young master and continue to secure her position in the Qin family.
But this young master has been very shrewd since he was a child, and he won't listen to either soft or hard approaches. The old man doesn't like people and keeps it to himself, but he won't make things too difficult for them on the surface.
Ying Yan, however, was ruthless when he schemed against people, always aiming for a decisive victory.
Qin Xiaohe suffered a lot, otherwise she wouldn't hate the Qin family so much. But now that the old man is gone, many families have not only been exonerated, but also had most of their assets returned to them.
So her mind started to wander again.
“Yan Yan, that’s all stuff from the older generation. You don’t have any relatives now, so I’m treating you like a little sister,” Qin Xiaohe couldn’t bring herself to say “aunt” when she met Ying Yan’s cold eyes. She could only smile awkwardly and say, “I’ve watched you grow up, so our relationship is almost as close as that of close relatives.”
"We'll still need to keep in touch. If you ever have any difficulties, just come to your uncle. He's now the deputy director of the biggest department store in the city. From now on, when you go shopping, just go to his office and he'll give you employee prices, plus lots of clearance items!"
Ke Meiyu looked at this and that, and found that Ying Yan was a pitiful little guy in everyone's eyes. Every Tom, Dick, and Harry was eager to show off in front of him.
Ying Yan said calmly, "Heaven is watching what people do. I didn't intend to make a fuss about anything. Are you leaning in to remind me that I should do something? You're just a deputy director, ha, I don't know how long you can stay. After all, I don't believe that someone who asks for favors too often can control himself."
Qin Xiaohe and her husband couldn't help but break out in a sweat. This man dared to say anything, and every word he uttered hit them where it hurt.
They were afraid to continue the conversation, because people get impatient and might actually do something.
So the family smiled awkwardly, said a few words, and left.
Ke Meiyu and Ying Yan exchanged a glance, and suddenly realized that they had made a terrible decision. Why did they have to act like pitiful little things and let others jump around in front of them?
Therefore, the two decided not to follow the original plan and instead went to find a suitable house to stay in later.
With a house, it's easy to register one's household registration. Grandpa and Grandma can move here, and if Mr. and Mrs. Ke are transferred for work, their household registrations can also be transferred. The five older brothers, encouraged by their sister, have consistently achieved excellent grades over the years and have been recommended for graduate studies at universities in Kyoto.
Once I've settled in, I'll write home and tell them to come over as soon as possible.
Then the two of them would contact their advisor in advance to finish their coursework as soon as possible...
After a brief discussion, the group moved to the charity event. Most of them were seated in the fourth row and beyond, while the first three rows were reserved for foreign guests.
Almost at the last minute, a group of stylishly dressed, elegant people with an air of arrogance entered the venue and took their seats at the front.
The auction items have been registered and distributed to everyone present. The register includes the item's name, characteristics, origin, starting price, and auction sequence number.
Ke Meiyu quickly flipped through the pages, but found nothing of interest.
She has plenty of gold, silver, jewelry, and houses!
Ying Yan casually flipped through the pages, then held her hand and played with it. Occasionally, he would see people he didn't like holding up signs, and he would maliciously call out their prices a few times.
His expression was spot-on, making the person trying to snap a picture feel like they'd be laughed at if they didn't, so they had no choice but to grit their teeth and shout as high as they could.
Basically, each person only takes pictures of one or two items; taking too many pictures will easily attract attention.
The auction lasted for about two hours. Then everyone moved to the main hall, where soothing music played and some people started dancing.
Ying Yan and Ke Meiyu couldn't help but join in. The two worked together seamlessly, and after several dances, the love in their eyes lingered like a tidal wave.
The set of imperial green jewelry they brought out was auctioned off for several thousand dollars.
The foreign guests presented many projects, mainly involving the economy and technology. In their view, to save the country and revitalize China, a comprehensive approach is necessary. This comprehensive approach is simple: all sectors must be involved simultaneously.
