"Can you men forget what you did and said yesterday so easily?" Ning Xuanxuan stared at Xue Chen with a sad look on her face.
Xue Chen sounded extremely awkward when hearing these words. It made him seem like a heartless man who had done anything to feel sorry for this woman. If he had really done it, it would be nothing more. The most important thing is, damn, he had never done anything.
.
"Come on, I won't do this anymore. Don't lie to me again. Sister Xuan, I've seen your face-changing skills all the time." Xue Chen said very vigilantly: "If you force me again, I won't live here.
Yes, I don’t owe rent either.”
Ning Xuanxuan lowered her head and sighed softly: "Xue Chen, I won't force you anymore. I have also heard about the appreciation meeting. You are now famous and have become the top authority in the Haicheng City antique circle. You will not be able to do anything about it in the future."
You won't be in arrears with the rent anymore. Sister Xuan is sincerely happy for you."
"I told grandpa about you, and his old man also saw the report about you in the newspaper. He heard that you would go to his birthday party. Grandpa was very happy. Unfortunately, if you don't go, grandpa will be disappointed.
"
While speaking, Ning Xuanxuan glanced at the living room with a lonely look: "If you dislike the small space here, you can move out at any time. That's it. I'll leave first."
After hearing these words, Xue Chen felt very uncomfortable and a little sour. He felt as if he had no conscience and had done something wrong.
Seeing that Ning Xuanxuan was about to leave, she felt anxious and blurted out: "Hey, Sister Xuan, don't leave. I don't dislike this place, and I won't move away. I'll accompany you to the old man's birthday party, that's all.
Bar."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Xue Chen secretly thought something was wrong!
Sure enough, Ning Xuanxuan stood still, turned around, and smiled at the corner of her lips: "This is what you promised yourself, don't go back on it."
Xue Chen slumped down on the sofa and slapped his forehead. Knowing that he had been deceived by this woman's superb acting skills again, he screamed: "Sister Xuan, why don't you go make a movie? You must be the best actress at the Oscars."
of."
"Hehe, little brother, have you read Journey to the West? Sun Wukong cannot escape from the palm of Tathagata Buddha." Ning Xuanxuan blinked her eyes, her tone was not without pride.
Xue Chen sat up and said: "I don't know whether I can escape or not, but Sun Wukong peed on the palm of Tathagata's hand. I remember it clearly. Come on, Sister Xuan, let me smell it. The palm of your hand is
It smells good, but it smells bad."
Xue Chen went to grab Ning Xuanxuan's little hand, but Ning Xuanxuan quickly dodged it.
"Bah." Ning Xuanxuan spat with a red face, "Who told you to smell it? It's so beautiful."
…
Since he agreed to Ning Xuanxuan to attend her grandfather's birthday party, although he was unwilling to do so, Xue Chen still had to make some simple preparations. First, he went to Zhengda International Shopping Center in Haicheng and bought a satisfactory outfit with his credit card.
I picked out a birthday gift on Sandao Street.
On the afternoon of the next day, Ning Xuanxuan came to pick him up on time in a red sports car.
"Haha, I didn't expect you to be quite handsome dressed up."
Next to the fiery red Ferrari, Ning Xuanxuan, who looked charming in a red dress, looked at Xue Chen, who was wearing a newly bought silver Givenchy suit, coming downstairs, and joked with a sweet smile.
"What does dressing up mean? I look handsome even without dressing up, okay?" Xue Chen was in a good mood and replied casually with a smile.
After getting in the car, Ning Xuanxuan took out a delicately packaged slender box and handed it to Xue Chen in the passenger seat: "Here, this is a birthday gift I prepared for you for my grandfather, a work by a Qing Dynasty painter.
I can’t tell you the name, but it cost 200,000 yuan. Although it’s not expensive, it won’t be looked down upon.”
Xue Chen didn't answer, but just said: "I can't use your birthday gift, I prepared it myself."
"Oh, where is it? Let me see."
Ning Xuanxuan looked sideways, she was curious as to what kind of birthday gift Xue Chen would prepare.
Xue Chen reached into his suit pocket and took out a fist-sized white cardboard box. He opened it and took out three different white jade Buddha statues that were only about the size of a thumb.
Ning Xuanxuan looked carefully for a few times, blinked, raised her head and said, "Although I don't understand antiques, I can tell that the jade quality of these three jade Buddhas is average. Which era are they from, the Qing Dynasty?
"
Xue Chen carefully put it away and said: "It's okay. The three Buddhas are all carved from Hotan Yushan materials. The quality of the jade is average, but the craftsmanship of the carver is good, and the facial expressions are expressed. As for the age, it should be the same as yours."
I'm about the same age."
"Ah! It's modern."
Ning Xuanxuan couldn't help but widen her eyes, "Then how much did you spend to invite me?"
"Eight hundred for one piece, and I got a 15% discount for three pieces. A total of two thousand and forty yuan, excluding the fraction of forty, is exactly two thousand, no more, no less." Xue Chen said solemnly.
"Hey, two thousand yuan, three pieces in return?"
Ning Xuanxuan took a breath, "You don't need the 200,000 free paintings, but you used the 2,000 yuan Buddha statue to fool my grandfather."
"Hey, what do you mean by fooling me? I chose this carefully. This is called etiquette being light on affection."
Seeing Xue Chen carefully putting away the three Buddha statues, Ning Xuanxuan reminded him while starting the car: "Xu Ming will definitely be there, and the birthday gift must be expensive. Last time you scanned
Because of his face, and his temperament of retribution, he might take the opportunity to run against you, are you sure you don’t want to use the calligraphy and painting I prepared?"
"It doesn't matter, I don't care." Xue Chen waved his hand freely.
"Boom boom boom..."
The Ferrari made a powerful roar and sped out of the city. After a twenty-minute drive, it drove along a winding mountain road and arrived at a brown-red gate.
Inside the door is a large single-family villa like a palace. Two rows of straight green pines greet you. The water mist from the white marble fountain reflects the colorful colors of the sun, making the hot summer day suddenly feel much more refreshing.
"As expected of the two giants in Haicheng, the Ning Group, one of the five major groups in Yunzhou, is indeed rich and powerful."
Ning Xuanxuan had already told Xue Chen in advance that she was the granddaughter of the old chairman of the Ning Group, so that he knew what she was doing, but when he saw this magnificent villa, he was still shocked.
When the maid in the villa heard the whistle, he trotted over to open the door and let the Ferrari drive in. There were already more than a dozen cars parked in the parking area, all of which were luxury cars worth more than one million yuan.
"Let's go in." Ning Xuanxuan naturally took Xue Chen's arm and walked towards the villa together.
Xue Chen was carried by Ning Xuanxuan's soft arms, with a faint fragrance lingering on the tip of his nose, and he suddenly felt that it would be a good idea to attend this birthday banquet.
He glanced at Ning Xuanxuan out of the corner of his eye. What surprised him was that Ning Xuanxuan had exquisite makeup and a radiant face. She was more beautiful than a flower, but she didn't seem to be very happy. On the contrary, there was a lot of happiness in her eyes.
A little bit of resistance was captured by him.
Entering the villa, stepping on the pure cashmere carpet, walking through a short corridor with exquisite handicrafts on the walls, when they turned a corner, they were in front of a spacious, gorgeous and bright banquet hall.
Classical piano music, soft lighting, white curtains, a buffet table with dozens of exquisite snacks and dishes, and waiters shuttled back and forth carrying wine glasses, all showed that the size of this birthday banquet was extraordinary.
The two arrived relatively late, and there were already dozens of well-dressed male and female guests in the banquet hall.
As soon as the two stepped into the banquet hall, several young people noticed and came closer.
"Second sister, you are here."
A young man in his early twenties with yellowish hair put one hand in the pocket of his trousers and held a wine glass in the other while saying with a slight smile.
"Yeah." Ning Xuanxuan responded lightly.
"Second sister, who is this?" The young man looked at Xue Chen, who was being carried by Ning Xuanxuan, and asked doubtfully.
"He is Xue Chen, my friend, a very good friend."
Ning Xuanxuan introduced the young man in front of Xue Chen again, who was the son of her third uncle's family, named Ning Yuan.
Listening to Sister Xuan's introduction to him, Xue Chen secretly smiled bitterly, fearing that others would not misunderstand him.
"Whoa!"
Xue Chen suddenly felt a gaze that made him very uncomfortable. He followed the feeling and found Xu Ming walking over with a cold face, followed by three or four young men and women.
"Xuanxuan, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
When greeting Ning Xuanxuan, Xu Ming, who was wearing a white suit, had a friendly smile on his handsome face, and his tone and eyes were affectionate.
However, this was destined to be a wink to a blind man. Ning Xuanxuan turned her head to the other side without even looking at Xu Ming: "I don't dare to bother Xu Ming to wait."
Xu Ming frowned, smiled, and resolved the embarrassment. When he looked at Xue Chen, his expression quickly turned cold: "I really can bump into you anywhere."
"I'll give this to you too." Xue Chen smiled nonchalantly and replied in a neither soft nor hard tone.
"Who is this man? Why haven't we played with him before?"
"Could it be that he's from out of town? He's a well-known person in Haicheng City. I almost know it."
"Why is Sister Xuan carrying him?"
Seeing Xue Chen's unfamiliar face, the second-generation dignitaries present all murmured a few words in a low voice.
"You don't have to guess, this is one of Xuanxuan's tenants, an appraiser from a pawn shop." Xu Ming raised the corner of his mouth and revealed all the details about Xue Chen.
"Tch, I thought he had a big background, but it turns out he is a part-time worker."
"Tenant? You actually rent a house?"
"Haha, I should be here to have a free meal and see the world."
After knowing that Xue Chen was not from his circle, they also sensed Xu Ming's hostility. Naturally, these young people didn't mind, and there was no need to cover up and they spat out extremely unpleasant words one by one.
Ning Xuanxuan frowned and was about to scold, but Xue Chen stopped her with her eyes.
Xue Chen looked at these high-ranking second-generation people with arrogant eyes and spoke unhurriedly.
"I am a working person. You may not need to work for others. That is because your parents and your seniors were working for others when they were my age. Do you think your parents are ashamed?! Do you think you are born
Are the wealth and status that you already have brought by the strong wind?" (To be continued)
