Zhao Qingrong pouted as she looked at her sister with fear in her eyes. The way she acted reminded Zhao Lirong of when she was young. When her younger sister did something that would harm her, she would look at Zhao Lirong with such a pitiful expression.
He felt a sense of warmth that he hadn't felt in a long time. "She reached out her hand and patted the back of her hand." Elder sister, why would I blame you? Back then when I left, it was you who took care of him for me and gave him the love I didn't give him. Actually, Big Sister should thank you. Thank you for all these years.
Zhao Lirong's eyes were filled with gratitude and sincerity. Looking at her like this, Zhao Qingrong's heart was slightly moved. She grabbed her back, "Alright, let's go in." Hmph, it's too late to say anything grateful!
After she finished washing her hands, Yanran was alone in the room admiring the paintings and calligraphy. She would never have thought that such an ordinary looking farmhouse would have so many valuable paintings and calligraphy hanging in the hall.
Although she couldn't tell if it was real or fake, she believed that even if it was fake, it would still be worth a lot of money.
She didn't know much about the ancient era, but in the modern era, she had actually seen several oil paintings. Moreover, these paintings were all famous paintings of the current era.
After she finished admiring, Yanran sat down and was shocked to find that the furniture in the room was actually, unexpectedly, rosewood.
"At an ancient art auction in 1999, a pair of finely carved rosewood top cabinets sold for a staggering 3.98 million yuan," she said, according to information she had seen earlier.
A pair of sandalwood chests was already worth that much.
And in this room, from the tea table to the dining table, the chairs were all these kinds of purple sandalwood.
It could be said that this place was a complete set of purple sandalwood furniture.
Who could have imagined that a single woman living in seclusion in a farmhouse was actually a woman who was worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions!
Such a value made her speechless. She swallowed hard and stared at the rosewood furniture as if it were a pile of renminbi.
What are you looking at that makes you want to eat?" Lei Haoming entered and saw that Yanran was in such a "gluttonous" state.
He chuckled, a trace of contempt flashing across his eyes. From the way she stared at the purple sandalwood, it was needless to say that she knew that such furniture was worth a lot. Therefore, she once again treated this as RMB.
A woman who was obviously greedy for money, yet wanted to act like she was a noble and noble person. Not like an aunt, who loves money, but money. If you don't love a man, then you don't. This woman loved to disguise herself too much.
Yanran closed her extremely greedy mouth and sighed, "Your aunt is really rich. This set of furniture should be worth a lot of money, right? It was hard to imagine that there would be so many purple sandalwood furniture here. I have to take a second look. Such a chair is very expensive. No, this kind of purple sandalwood dining table would fetch an auction price of over a hundred thousand … "And …"
At this time, her eyes were as busy as a diligent bee's. Looking at the chair was money, looking at the table was also money. As for Lei Haoming, the one who was truly rich, she ignored him!
Lei Haoming finally understood why this woman loved money.
Unsatisfied, he stepped forward and stood in front of Yanran, blocking her way. "Look at me!"
The domineering words made Yanran furious. "She tried to pull me away, but I was once again blocked by him." "Look at me!"
Seeing that no one was around, Yanran flew into a rage, "Lei Haoming, move to the side. I think you're not money. What I want to see is these high value purple sandalwood. It's called, art, art, do you understand? "
At this time, she didn't see Lei Haoming as an boss at all. She was purely like a brother to him.
"Look at them. Look at the money!" Lei Haoming mocked.
Yanran was very embarrassed, "Cough, cough, there's no need to be so direct. Director Lei, this thing of mine, this is called art!" However, her face turned red from embarrassment.
Lei Haoming's lips curved upwards. Although this woman was a bit greedy, he was indeed quite interesting.
He suddenly put his face close to hers. "Women, look at me, don't you think there's something richer than them?" He unbuttoned his shirt to reveal his firm, strong chest. He used those demonic eyes to look at her again.
Cute. Cute. He was definitely a cute man.
Yanran's entire feeling was that this was a man filled with emotions, leaning against Hundred Flowers House. She used what seemed cold and aloof, but in the dark, she was sending a signal to all the rich ladies. 'Come on, come on, as long as the price is right, we can talk it over …' "Ten times in one night, I will make you so satisfied that you won't be able to get off the bed …"
"She nodded and gave him a thumbs-up." Yes, very good. It was worth a lot of money. "I saw a lot of wealthy ladies happily pass their cheques to you …"
Seeing her starting to speak, Lei Haoming was actually quite pleased with himself. Except, this woman's last sentence didn't make him feel good no matter how he thought about it.
What did it mean for so many rich women to put cheques in their hands?
Black lines appeared on his forehead when he thought of this woman's imaginative personality. He gritted his teeth. "Very, very good!"
At this moment, Yanran quickly covered her mouth and laughed coyly. Her deep blue eyes continuously turned.
"Let's go to the second floor."
Zhao Qingrong's voice rang out happily from the door. Yanran saw that she was carrying a somewhat familiar woman into the house.
The eyes of the beautiful woman were locked on Lei Haoming. There was love, concern, and timidity in his eyes … It was a very complicated look. She puzzledly turned her head to look at Lei Haoming, but what she saw was Lei Haoming's unchanging indifference and estrangement. He was even colder and more distant than he was in the past.
What was going on with these two?
Her eyes swept over Lei Haoming and the beautiful woman, and her imaginative mind played its role once more.
It seemed like he knew that she had gotten into trouble again. Lei Haoming domineeringly wrapped his arms around her waist. "Go upstairs!" The slightly angry voice, listening to Yanran's unformed imagination, was just some miscarriages.
Seeing the instant Lei Haoming turned around, the disgust in his eyes shattered Zhao Lirong's heart.
Sensing the coldness in her body, Zhao Qingrong deliberately sighed. "Forget it. Obviously, hatred cannot be resolved in just one or two days." Come on, let's go upstairs. Today is my birthday. I hope you and your mother can get along. Actually, you should be happy, but at least, he's clearly not the same as before. When she knew you were coming, he disappeared. "
Zhao Lirong felt a lot more comfortable listening to these comforting words. Yes, I should be satisfied. Even though I clearly didn't want to leave, it was actually a good sign. "Hehe, I'm still too greedy."
"Oh yeah, sis, you've been a greedy person since you were young."
"Empty yourself. It's not that big sis is talking about you, it's not that there's not a lack in you. It's better to find a better man and quickly marry him."
"No, unless I can find a man like Brother-in-law, otherwise, I definitely won't marry."
"Cough, cough …" Your brother-in-law, he has quite a few bad habits as well. As for this man, he looked great from the outside. "Who knows what's behind his back."
"But I think he's nice to you. Oh right, big sister, I purposely teased him just now, but you didn't know that my brother-in-law actually scolded me. "Oh, if I had such a man for me, how happy would I be!"
"You probed him again! Ai, how naughty. The last time you tried it out, he was complaining to me. In the future, don't try anymore. He's just that sort of inflexible man.
When Shen Zhongming heard his wife's words, he immediately became displeased. He sullenly asked, "Wife, I won't accept your words. Do you mean that I am not romantic enough to despise me! It seems that your husband has to learn more about the ways of the young! "
Zhao Lirong would never have thought that her husband would be behind her.
She turned around with an embarrassed smile on her face. With a fearful expression, she said, "Zhong Ming, I was wrong."
Zhao Qingrong's heart was burning with jealousy as she watched the love-struck husband and wife. She didn't want to be overlooked by these two people, "Brother-in-law, you too, my sister was just teasing me. Ai, brother-in-law, for such a good man like you, surely there will be many other good men like you around? If there's a single person, then introduce one to your sister. Let me, too, lead a happy little woman's life. Look at how it feels to be pampered by you, my sister. "
She was half envious of Shen Zhongming, half teasing him, while Shen Zhongming was only trying to deal with her.
Seeing how her husband treated his sister, Zhao Lirong felt quite embarrassed. She stepped forward and grabbed Shen Zhongming's elbow, then gave a humble smile to Zhao Qingrong beside her. "Little sister, you know your brother-in-law has such a temper, don't mind him."
Zhao Qingrong laughed. "I don't mind. I don't mind if Brother-in-law doesn't find me a good husband!" She glanced at Shen Zhongming with hidden bitterness. Although he was tense on the surface, a woman still cared about a man who was over 40 years old. One had to say, Shen Zhongming's heart was actually filled with gratitude!
Several men and women were seated in the reception hall on the second floor of Zhao Qingrong's building. A group of men were playing cards. These women, their style was not much different from Zhao Qingrong's. They were chatting about the clothes of their boss and the food of the Xi Family … These two groups of people, without exception, would occasionally look at Yanran, who was not far away.
However, all the men's eyes were clear to all the women. As for the women, they shouted with envy.
Yanran had been tyrannically embraced by Lei Haoming to watch television while her mind was completely focused on the living room. She hadn't expected that the living room above was also made of purple sandalwood. It seemed that all the furniture collected by this noble lady was valuable antiques.
"Everyone is here. Thank you to all your old friends for coming to empty this place. Actually, Qingrong didn't want this birthday at all. "As for women, they feel much older every time they blow out the candles when they are over thirty."
Everyone giggled in agreement. Zhao Lirong looked at Shen Zhongming beside his with a smile, "Sister is still as tactful and outspoken as before!"
Shen Zhongming gave a "hmph" sound. His gaze also fell on Zhao Qingrong, who was standing on the stage. It had to be said that tonight, she was very charming and had the air of a mature woman. Her cold appearance, along with her witty witty words, and her pair of eyes that seemed to be talking, would occasionally glance at you with hidden bitterness …
When he heard that his beloved wife wanted to go to the washroom, he came back to reality. "Do you want me to go with you?"
"No, it's not that far away!" Suddenly, her stomach didn't feel well, so Zhao Lirong had to leave midfield.
Zhao Qingrong, who was on stage, finished her speech and started to cut the birthday cake.
"Qingrong, can I cut it together with you?!"
It was at this moment that a man's voice resounded loudly. Shen Zhongming looked towards the source of the voice. It turned out to be a former business partner … Old Zhao!
This man had just lost his wife a while back. He didn't expect that he would come to attend the birthday banquet with a clean face. The two of them were both single. It was obvious that something bad was going to happen between the two of them if they got together!
