Just as he was about to get angry, he suddenly remembered to place his phone on the back seat of Ye Yi's car. He probably forgot to take it off, "Heavens, it can't be that An Ruyou has looked, it can't be that I set up the password, it's impossible for her to unlock my phone." After thinking about it, Bai Keke felt more at ease. He picked up his clothes that were drenched in fruit juice and threw them into the trash can, then strolled over to the central bathing shop.
"Miss, what would you like to order?" The waiter saw that she was wearing a bathrobe and immediately came to greet her. Such a person would definitely make her open her doors.
Bai Keke was very satisfied with his performance, "Show me your family's most expensive clothes."
Ye Yi came to pick Bai Keke up after washing up, but the moment he got on the car, she nervously fumbled about in the back seat. After finding his phone, he revealed a relieved smile, and combined with An Ruyou's calm expression, Bai Keke thought to himself, "She definitely didn't see it."
After a simple lunch, the car returned to the designer's studio. The two pieces of clothing were waiting for their owner, Ye Yi went to the men's area and changed his clothes.
Even though he had already prepared mentally, when Bai Keke walked out, he still wanted to laugh. Bai Keke, whose figure was not as good as others, looked like a 50/50 red hourglass. The belt at his waist only made her look even more obese.
Ye Yi really didn't know how to praise An Ruyou, nor did he know what to say to Bai Keke. He could only pretend to look at his watch and say, "Quickly go, we can only start now. It is said that the opening ballet players are the best members of the Russian ballet crew."
When they arrived, a few nobles and officials were already standing in the large arena. When they saw that the successor of the Ann's had arrived, they all gathered around An Ruyou to discuss with him. A while ago, the Ann's's water conservancy project was not thought highly of by the industry, but An Ruyou's correct suggestion to make this project into a legend of the upper class was truly admirable.
"Hello Miss Ann, I am the representative for tomorrow's medicine, and I personally admire your business acumen. May I ask if you would be so kind as to meet me at my place?"
"Miss Ann, I am the general manager of Steel Construction. If you need my help in the future, feel free to speak of it."
The smile on his face made people feel as if they were being bathed in spring wind. In the eyes of Bai Keke who no one cared about, this kind of scene was simply an insult to her, "What's there to be proud of, if my parents are still alive, who knows who this group of people are fawning on right now, a bunch of dog slaves."
Qiao Ruoan searched for Xiao Ling for a long time before finally seeing his back. Walking in, he discovered that Xiao Ling was staring absentmindedly into the distance, following his gaze, An Ruyou and Ye Yi were currently in the crowd chatting with the powerful nobles, like a couple.
"What are you looking at!?" You have to look at me. "
Qiao Ruoan hugged Xiao Ling's arm and shook it. It was only now that Xiao Ling finally woke up, as if he had just woken up from a dream. The scene of An Ruyou replying in the crowd just now made him think of a person. This strange sense of familiarity stunned Xiao Ling for a moment, as if he had returned to the time when he was looking at Qiao Ruoyou who was in the crowd.
"Of course I'm only looking at you, it's just that An An, look at that person, does he look like the woman we met at the seaside restaurant?"
"What are you saying!?" This Auction is an invitation system, only the upper echelons of society can enter, and the idle people beside can't even enter the doorstep, don't look anymore, quickly come with me to greet the auctioneer! " Qiao Ruoan pulled Xiao Ling away without even raising his eyes, she could not let his man look at another woman.
Walking in front of the philanthropist, Qiao Ruoan cleared his throat, "Hello, I'm Qiao Ruoan, this is my fiancé, Xiao Ling."
Her impolite actions caused the philanthropist to furrow his brows, "Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"
In order to prevent the brainless Qiao Ruoan from interrupting Xiao Ling's plan, he could only personally come and talk to the philanthropist, "We would like to know, which is your most precious item?"
Although every item on auction today is a priceless treasure, if you are talking about my own item that I cherish the most, then you will see that calligraphy written by Lady Zhou Zhaoliang. I was once fortunate enough to meet Lady Zhou, and her gentle charm deeply moved me.
Xiao Ling was full of confidence after hearing his words. Today, he prepared sufficient money, just so that he could buy the most beloved collection of a philanthropist, and make a reasonable gift after becoming friends with a philanthropist. He would then hand it over to someone who might be of help to him in the future. Regarding making friends, Xiao Ling was never stingy, because he knew that the amount he had to pay today would definitely be smaller than the amount he would receive tomorrow.
"May I have your name, sir?"
The philanthropist extended his hand out to shake hands with Xiao Ling, "I am surnamed Zhang, Zhang Taixing."
"I am Xiao Ling."
"Ann's's only daughter is here, I want to go and greet his. Please take a look at her, if you need anything, you can call me anytime. I am very happy to share the story of my collection with everyone." Mr. Zhang released Xiao Ling's hand and left.
Although he did not reveal it on his face, he was deeply insulted in his heart, "You want to send me off just because my status and position are inferior to the Ann's's?"
Seeing Xiao Ling's serious face, Qiao Ruoan immediately understood the problem, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have pulled you over to greet him."
Just when Xiao Ling thought that Qiao Ruoan had thought that the time was right.
Qiao Ruoan said again, "We should wait for him to take the initiative to greet us."
Xiao Ling didn't know whether to laugh or cry and couldn't help but think of the girl in his memories. Although she had grown up together with the Qiao Ruoan in front of him, she was calm and collected, and even the powerful and influential people would be willing to accept her as the center of attention. She would always wear an official set, unlike the Qiao Ruoan who didn't know when to stop.
Even though she had to wear a formal attire, it was definitely not this kind of grand, fluffy dress that even Xiao Ling did not dare approach, as it was afraid that he would step on her skirt just by coming a little closer. Furthermore, Qiao Ruoan did not have any self-awareness, he would not stop walking the moment he entered the exhibition, and for the sake of not having any awkward incidents, everyone would stop walking and avoid her, which had already caused many people to complain.
If it had been the girl, it wouldn't have happened that way. Unfortunately, her lover had already turned to dust. There would never be another person like that in this world.
"Xiao Ling, let's go take a look at that Ann's's only daughter. Let's see how that Mr. Zhang fawns over his."
After saying that, Xiao Ling was pulled away by Qiao Ruoan without any explanation.
"Miss Ann."
Just as An Ruyou was discussing the topic of collection with Ye Yi, she heard the voice and turned her head to look. "Mr. Zhang, you are here as well.
"We just met yesterday, there's no need for you to be polite. I'm the provider of the collection for this time's charity Auction, I'm Zhang Taixing."
Ye Yi was confused, "Did the two of you know each other in the past?"
An Ruyou excitedly held onto Mr. Zhang's hands, "The repair project for the André Museum of Ceramics is handled by the Mr. Zhang's team, I don't even know how many identities you have as a cultural relic specialist, philanthropist, collector, how many more do you still have that I don't know about?"
The Mr. Zhang smiled and said, "The restoration of cultural relics is only one of my hobbies."
Xiao Ling suddenly stopped, he did not manage to stand steadily, and almost fell to the ground, "What, why did you suddenly stop, he almost fell down, and lost his life."
Xiao Ling already had no time to care what Qiao Ruoan said or did, the way the girl spoke in the distance overlapped with the ones in his memories. Even though she had a different face, she gave off the same feeling.
Qiao Ruoan also raised his head, "Oh, it's indeed the woman we met at the seaside restaurant, but she's really a bitch. The man by her side changed again, no, that's right, that's Xiao Ling, I really like him."
Xiao Ling's arm was being pinched so hard by the excited Qiao Ruoan that it hurt. Xiao Ling shook her arm off, "She is Ann's's only daughter."
At this time, Qiao Ruoan finally noticed the crux of the matter, "She is actually someone from the Ann's, what right do you have to do that!?"
Not only was her status so noble that no one could compare to his, she could also participate in the Auction together with the famous Xiao Ling. Qiao Ruoan clenched his fists tightly, thinking to switch her to himself immediately.
The harmonious conversation between and the Mr. Zhang in front of him caused Xiao Ling to deeply feel the difference in status. He silently vowed to himself that he would climb up quickly and become a true person at the top of the pyramid.
Just as their thoughts were running wild, the Auction, who was the focus of everyone's attention, finally opened the door as the guests entered their seats in accordance to the number plate given to them when they entered the door. A famous clan like the Ann's was naturally arranged to be the best seat, and Xiao Ling and Qiao Ruoan were arranged to be in the middle, the difference in status was obvious.
"I told you before why you had to wear such a dress."
"I'm already sad enough, why do you still want to repeat yourself!"
"This is not the time to quarrel."
"Now you find me embarrassing? Why didn't you dislike me when you were chasing me back then?!" You changed your mind about Xiao Ling. " As Qiao Ruoan said this, he covered his face and started to cry as if there was no one around him, which attracted the attention of the customers around him.
Although Xiao Ling was unwilling to be held accountable for her unreasonable actions, he still lowered his head and comforted Qiao Ruoan gently, "An An, the auction is about to begin, just tell me what you like, just don't cry, okay?"
Qiao Ruoan smacked Xiao Ling and his tears turned into laughter.
Although this interlude was not too loud, An Ruyou and the others who were seated at the front also heard it.
"Truly speechless." Ye Yi could not help but exclaim.
"He looks great himself," Bai Keke said, without a trace of self-awareness. Although he was no pushover, and actually laughed at Qiao Ruoan, "Why don't you look at your own identity, you are right. How can those at the back compare to us?"
