“No need, thank you!” Qin Yue coldly said. After saying this, she immediately dragged Ye Qian inside. During their entire conversation, Wei Cheng Long didn't even give Ye Qian a glance. It was very evident to him that Ye Qian did not belong there even though he was wearing a suit. Besides, he will always be a security guard, nothing more, he will never be qualified to be in the upper-society. He also believes that even though Qin Yue was with Ye Qian, it is just a temporary interest, one day Qin Yue will find Ye Qian was not a match for her, and he himself was the better choice..
Ye Qian was not mad, there was no reason to hate rich people, he did not have any right to loathe the children of very rich entrepreneurs. Ye Qian only treated them as lucky, but being able to get support from their parents, they were mostly arrogant individuals that are unpleasant to the eye. Wei Cheng Long looked down on him and had no intention to talk to him. Ye Qian also didn’t wish to talk to Wei Cheng Long, he just feigned civility. He knew what Wei Cheng Long was thinking. He didn’t like people like Wei Cheng Long but he wouldn’t go so far as to sort him out.
Upon entering the hotel, they saw the hotel lobby arranged with jewels on exhibit for the auction. The top stage radiated with all kinds of neon lamps while the center stage was packed with seats. The stage was apparently decorated temporarily for this particular event, however, it was definitely not a simple and crude arrangement.
With regards to jewels, Ye Qian was clueless, not understanding why all women were so fond of them. Ye Qian considered jewels as a way for a business to earn money, nothing more.
The two of them looked for a place to sit. Ye Qian looked all over the place, only to see, one after another, people continuously entering the hotel, almost all with the female member of their family. He let out a chuckle, it seems that Mary’s reputation in China was not a small one, it was himself that was ignorant and inexperienced.
“Today I allowed you to buy me many clothes for this activity, tonight, in case you like any jewelry, don’t hesitate to let me know,” Ye Qian slightly laugh and said.
Qin Yue was slightly surprised by what Ye Qian said. “You’re not joking right? But Mary is a world famous jewelry designer, every piece of her work costs a minimum of a hundred thousand chinese yuan. In addition to that, today is a charitable auction, I am afraid the price will possibly be pushed higher by other people, can you still pay for it?”
Ye Qian faintly laughed and said, “It doesn’t matter, just tell me if you like anything, I will certainly find a way to get it for you.”
“Ye Qian, you can’t act recklessly. Today the security guards are very strict, if you steal I am afraid that you won’t be able to leave.” Qin Yue said, “You can be relieved, tonight I am simply here to look around, nothing more.”
Ye Qian helplessly shook his head and said, “Oh! What are you saying? You think I dare to commit a robbery? I have my own methods, . Don’t be so harsh, just pick what you want, it’.”
Qin Yue was skeptical and didn’t say anything. She didn’t take it seriously, besides, she wasn’t fond of wearing expensive jewelry. Expensive jewelry wasn’t necessarily beautiful, even those ten dollar ones were pretty and could be bought at street stalls, Qin Yue was sometimes very fond of those tiny baubles.
Ye Qian thought to himself that Mary’s arrival could not be just a coincidence, what were those group of hooligans trying to pull.. But their arrival already calmed him, now he can properly enjoy this rare jewel exhibit. As for those rogues, he will deal with them after the event.
Not long after, the seats in the big hotel lobby were already packed with people. Actually with regards to this kind of exhibit, many men were watching to see the models, as for the jewels, if it wasn’t for their own womant, they wouldn’t have any interest. Even Ye Qian was like this, before, when he had free time he would go watch fashion shows and motor show, but he only aimed to see those sexy models. This is the second time he had been to this kind of first-rate jewelry exhibit, and there should be plenty of beautiful women.
The host came up on stage and said a few sentences, officially announcing the beginning of the jewelry exhibit. Immediately, all lights went out, and the spotlight focused on the models on stage. Each and every sexy model inside slowly came out on stage, displaying the jewelry they were wearing, but the way Ye Qian saw it, they were actually showing off their bodies more than they were showing off the jewelry.
However, it had to be said, the jewels really had dazzling colors. Some women were already excited for them, starting to press their bodies to the men beside them tenderly, rubbing their chests against the men’s arms and saying in a coy way that could make one’s hair stand on end how much they liked such and such piece of jewelry. At this moment, those men naturally “felt heroic” as they pat their chest to promise that they would surely give it to their women as a present.
Ye Qian looked faintly towards Qin Yue, as if hoping to be able to tell from her expression which piece of jewelry she liked, only to be disappointed. Qin Yue treated this jewelry without interest, not even a single hint of excitement could be seen on her elegant face.
“Which one do you like? I’ll get it for you later!” A careless and leisurely voice came into Ye Qian’s ears. Ye Qian stared blankly, turning his head, then couldn’t help staring in shock. His eyes met a young man with a lollipop in his mouth, holding a laptop, concentrating his attention on beating a game.
“Oh! Wanted to scare me to death huh??” Ye Qian firmly glared at the fellow and said.
The youngster seemed as if he hadn’t heard Ye Qian, he was still concentrating on his game, not long after a “GAMEOVER” sound was heard. The young man then lifted his head, sucked a mouthful of lollipop, then turned to him and said, “This is sister-in-law?” he said and glance toward Ye Qian’s body beside Qin Yue.
“What’s it to you? When did you arrive?” Ye Qian asked in a low voice.
“Today, just this morning,” The young man answered, after that he stood and faced Qin Yue, smiling suddenly, in unproficient Chinese he said, “Sister-in-law, Hello! I’m Jack, I am Ye Qian’s little brother.”
Qin Yue turned her head over, looking at this blonde foreigner, and was slightly distracted for a while, but still she courteously shook hands with him, and said, “You're mistaken, I am only Ye Qian’s friend.”
Jack sat down, chuckled and said, “Gotcha, gotcha.” But that cryptic smile was clearly saying that he did not believe that they were simple friends. Qin Yue didn’t feel like explaining, but looked at Ye Qian in surprise, as if asking Ye Qian, what's going on? Why would he suddenly have a foreign little brother pop up?
