âAlright, I have to go back and change too. Wait for me in the parking lot in thirty minutes time.â Lin Yi said
âOkay.â
Lin Yi hung up the phone and put the painting back in his car, ready to pick up Qingyan.
Within half an hour, Lin Yi arrived at the parking lot of Chaoyang Group.
Just then, Ji Qingyan walked out of the elevator as well, and the two drove back to Jiuzhou Pavilion.
âHurry up and change, weâll be leaving soon,â Ji Qingyan said.
Lin Yi took out his suit when he reached the fitting room.
Just as he was about to put it on, he heard the sound of running water in the bathroom.
âShe even needs to take a shower? Is this woman a germaphobe?â
Lin Yi did not worry about it anymore, as he changed into his suit and shirt and prepared to leave.
It was 20 minutes later when Ji Qingyan came out of the shower.
Her voluptuous figure was wrapped in a white towel, and there was steam rising from her shoulders. She was a stunningly beautiful woman.
âYouâre really built like a clothes hanger. This is the first time Iâve seen someone wearing a suit like this.â
âYouâre also the first person Iâve seen wearing a towel like this.â
âRascal, you only know how to take advantage of me.â
Ji Qingyan walked over. âWait a moment, Iâll help you tidy up.â
As she spoke, Ji Qingyan walked to Lin Yi and squatted down to help him tidy up his pants.
âNot bad, not bad.â
Ji Qingyan stood up and continued to dry her hair. âGive me a moment, Iâll be done soon.â
âOkay.âLin Yi nodded. âBy the way, where is your grandfatherâs birthday party?â
âItâs at East Lake Villa, on the outer ring. You should know about it, right?â
âI know, I drove by it once before.â
Although it was a villa, due to its geographical location, the price of the East Lake Villa was not too expensive. It was not even as expensive as Ji Qingyanâs cloud water villa.
The only advantage was that it had a good view and its own courtyard.
It was more suitable for people of old age to retire and stay there.
Ji Qingyan went back to her room to change her clothes while Lin Yi waited for her downstairs.
At this time, Lin Yiâs phone rang. It was an unknown number.
âHello, is this Mr. Lin Yi?â A gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.
âItâs me.â
âMr. Lin, Iâm the owner of Patek Philippe Times Square. The 175th Anniversary Watch You ordered from us three days ago has arrived in the shop. Iâm going to send it over. Is it convenient for you to receive it now?â
âIâm going out soon. You can send it to the property in Jiuzhou Pavilion.â
âMr. Lin, because the goods are so expensive, we have to personally hand it over to you, so...â
âUh, then get someone to send it to the East Lake Villa.â
âGot it, Mr. Lin.â
After hanging up, Lin Yi continued fiddling with his phone to kill time.
Ten minutes later, Ji Qingyan walked down the stairs after into her changing blue evening dress.
There was a diamond necklace on her neck, accentuating her cool temperament.
However, her mountain peaks were even more dazzling than the diamond necklace.
Sensing Lin Yiâs aggressive gaze, Ji Qingyan lifted her shawl to block his view.
âStop looking and help me fasten the zipper.â
âI was wondering why you looked like you were about to jump out of your dress. You didnât fasten the zipper.â
âCouldnât you look somewhere else? You just had to look there.â
âItâs mainly because itâs too prominent. I didnât want to look there either.â
âYou only know how to smooth talk ladies.â
Lin Yi walked over with a smile and helped Ji Qingyan zip up the back of her dress. He soon found that the two mountains were completely wrapped inside.
âThatâs right. Just hide it.â Lin Yi said with satisfaction.
âYou mean that only you can see it and no one else can? Is that what you mean?âJi Qingyan said, pinching her waist.
âSmart, thatâs exactly what I mean.
âYouâre too beautiful.â
âLetâs go, donât flatter yourself.â
After a while, the two of them drove towardEast Lake Villa.
Because it was located east of the outer ring, the price of a house in East Lake Villa could not be considered expensive anymore.
To be able to buy a house here was not considered a luxury.
At this moment, the courtyard of East Lake Villa was gradually filled with many guests.
There were the connections that the Ji family had accumulated over the years, as well as many of the younger generation members of the family.
At this moment, all of them had rushed over to congratulate the Ji familyâs old master on his birthday.
In the courtyard, the most eye-catching person was the old man who was dressed in a red tang suit as he stood at the entrance to the villa. Although he was leaning on a walking stick, he looked rather healthy.
The old manâs name was Ji Yongqing, and he was the star of the banquet today.
âGrandpa, I wish you the best of luck every year. I pray that the more you live, the younger youâll become.â
The woman who spoke was dressed in a white gown, and she was pouring tea for Ji Yongqing with a cup in her hand.
Lin Yi had seen the woman pouring tea for Ji Yongqing before. It was Yang Tianxin, who had given him a bad review the day before.
Apart from that, there was a middle-aged couple and a young man beside her.
The middle-aged coupleâs names were Feng and Anrong. They were Tianxinâs parents.
The remaining young man was around thirty years old. He wore a black suit and looked very talented.
The manâs name was Zhengping. He was Tianxinâs boyfriend.
âItâs just a birthday, and you all came back just for it. Especially Zhengping, he came all the way back from Yanjing. That was too hard,â Yongqing said with a smile,
âGrandpa, Zhengpingâs business in Yanjing has already stabilized. I heard from him that he wants to work hard and take over the market in Zhonghai now,â Yang Tianxin said proudly.
âOh, thatâs amazing,â Ji Yongqing said. âYanjing and Zhonghai are the richest cities in China. If you can take over both of these markets, it will be amazing.â
âThank you for your praise, Grandpa.â
Yang Feng and Ji Anrong stood on the side, seemingly quite satisfied with their future son-in-law.
Fu Zhengping could be considered a young genius in all of China, much less Zhonghai.
âOld Ji, your grandson-in-law is amazing,â an old man with half-white hair walked over and said.
âHis car is the most valuable one among the people who came here today, and he is also a good-looking person. He will definitely have a bright future. If I encounter trouble one day, you have to help me.â
âGrandpa Liu, you are too polite. Because of your friendship with my grandfather, if you really ever encounter a problem, just say the word and we will definitely help,â replied Yang Tianxin.
âThen I will thank you in advance.â
âLook at Old Ji. He really has a good granddaughter. She really knows how to bring him honor,â another old man remarked.
âI donât have such luck in my life.â
Faced with the praise from everyone, Yang Tianxin smiled.
An unprecedented sense of satisfaction arose within her.
Seeing that everyoneâs attention was on their own daughter and son-in-law, Yang Feng and Ji Anrong also felt proud. They smiled at Ji Antai and asked,
âAntai, why is Qingyan still not here? What time is it?âJi Anrong said.
âI just made a call. Sheâs on her way. Sheâll be here soon,â Ji Antai said.
âI heard that Qingyan has a boyfriend. Heâll be coming this time, right?â
âYes, they drove here together.â
âDoes Qingyan have a boyfriend? Why didnât she tell me? What does she do at home?âJi Yongqing asked.
âTheyâve only known each other for a short while. Iâm not too sure about the details, but his conditions should be good. Moreover, heâs a good-looking person, so she should very compatible with Qingyan,â Ji Antai said proudly.
âAs long as theyâre compatible, itâs fine,â Ji Yongqing said with a smile.
âNow that both of them are settled, I wonât have to keep thinking about them anymore.â
Ji Anrong and the others did not mind. No matter how good her boyfriend was, he would not be able to match up to Zhengping.
At this moment, Yang Tianxin tugged at Fu Zhengpingâs sleeve and said in a low voice,
âWhen my cousin and her boyfriend come here later, you have to behave well and not embarrass me. Ever since I was young, Iâve never been able to outshine her in anything. Whether or not I can overshadow her today is up to you.â
âTianxin, why didnât you say so earlier? I have a friend who bought a new Bentley worth more than six million yuan. If I had known earlier, I would have driven his car here,â Fu Zhengping said with a smile.
âIt doesnât matter. That Lamborghini of yours is not bad either. No matter what, itâs still worth more than four million yuan.â
Buzz, Buzz, Buzz â
At this moment, everyone heard a series of rumbling sounds, which attracted their gaze.
They were shocked to discover that there was a silver supercar parked at the entrance!
âMy God, this car seems to be the Pagani Zonda. It sells for more than 20 million in China!â
âWhich big shot is it? He actually drove such a luxurious car here!â
