533 Help him carry the beauty home
âlook at you,â The Jupiter monster glared at her. I told you that I really want to be friends with you. Iâm so happy that you invited me to your engagement ceremony. How can I not go? â
âshi yan, you have to remember what you said now. donât forget to invite me.â
âI wonât forget,â Shi Yan smiled at her.
Jing Hailan, who was sitting next to him, looked around at Shi Yan and then at Jupiter. Then she took a sip of tea.
as she sipped on her tea, her lips curved into a slight smile.
he said with interest.
It was covered by the teacup by his lips.
The banquet didnât last long. Shi Yan and the others sat in the private room for about half an hour before it ended.
The auction began.
The layout of the banquet hall had also changed. There was an additional auction stage, and many tables and chairs were added under the auction stage. People took their seats one after another.
the private rooms on the second floor were also filled with people.
it was obvious that the private rooms on the second floor were prepared for distinguished guests.
Before the auction started, Xie Xingchen came to greet them again. Before he left, he even instructed the attendant outside the door to serve them well and not to be negligent.
This scene happened to be seen by someone.
with Xie Xingchenâs personality, there arenât many people in southern city who can make him treat them so seriously. Whoâs in Room 11? â he asked the person beside him.
âi donât know, boss. do you need me to ask?â
They had only arrived after Shi Yan and the others had entered the private room, so they had missed the opportunity to meet them at the banquet.
âSince Xie Xingchen treats people so seriously, you might not be able to get anything out of him. Donât make too much noise.â
âdonât worry, boss. i know what to do.â
the assistant left, and the man entered room 3 with a man with a big belly.
As soon as they entered the private room, someone followed them and was stopped outside the door by the waiter. âMiss, please wait.â
âI know the person inside, please pass the message.â
just as the person in room 3 sat down, there was a knock on the door. the attendant pushed the door open and came in.âPresident Liu, thereâs a lady outside who says she knows the gentleman beside you and wants to ask for your protection.â
the big-bellied man was the boss liu that the waiter had mentioned.
âThereâs a lady outside who knows Yingluo?â
as president liu spoke, he looked at the man sitting beside him. â sorry for disturbing your peace. iâll go out and see whatâs going on. â
âNo need.â The man interrupted him and looked at the waiter.
probably because his eyes were too intimidating and the pressure he gave off was too strong, the waiter immediately understood what he meant without him saying anything. he quickly lowered his head and said, â âthat young lady said her surname is xuan.â
âannounce?â the big-bellied president liu was surprised. â president xie, is he from the capital cityâs xuan family? â
âYes or no, weâll know when we see him.â
âbut yingluo, didnât you not want others to know that youâre here? will it bring you trouble if you see her now?â
xie heng glanced at him.
President Liuâs heart skipped a beat and he immediately shut up.
âinvite her in,â boss liu said to the waiter.
No one knew that Xie Heng was here. He was passing by South City and heard that Xie Xingchen had set up such a place here, so he came to take a look at it on the spur of the moment. It was indeed a cover-up to be with President Liu.
However, he just didnât want anyone to know that he was here. He wasnât afraid of others knowing.
âthank you clan head, sorry for the disturbance.â xuan siyun was dressed in a red gown, as ostentatious as ever.
â i thought i was mistaken. i didnât expect it to really be clan head xie. â
xie heng didnât invite her to sit, but asked her directly,âmiss xuan, whatâs the matter?â
âiâm fine. i just didnât expect to meet clan head xie here, so i came over to say hello.â he smiled and said, â master xie, arenât you going to invite me to sit? itâs very impolite to let a lady stand like this.â
âPlease take a seat.â
before I came in, I asked someone to inquire about it. This private room was prepared for President Liu. I donât think that master Xie is here to support second young master Xie.
âMiss Xuan, what do you want to say?â
Xuan Siyun smiled and poured herself a glass of wine, but she didnât drink it. She played with the wine glass in her hand.
â i want to say that second young master xie doesnât know that master xie is here. i guess master xie doesnât want second young master xie to know that youâre here. â
âso? Are you threatening me, miss Xuan?â
â threatening me is too much. i just thought that i could meet master xie by chance on a casual trip to the south. i thought it was fate and wanted to make friends with master xie. â
the auction for the first item had already started, but none of them paid attention to it.
xie hengâs unmoved but oppressive gaze fell on xuan siyun, but she was unmoved.
Her courage was not something that anyone could have.
President Liu was sitting between the two of them. When he heard this, he just wanted to disappear.
This young miss Xuanâs courage was not just big, she even dared to threaten this master! he didnât even try to hide his threat!
he was just a small character, and he didnât want to be a mortal who was involved in a fight between immortals!
He shrank back silently, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible.
Their eyes met for a moment before Xie Heng said,âHouse Xie and house Xuan have always had business dealings, so I thought I was friends with the heir of house Xuan.â
âMaster Xie also said that youâre a friend of the heir of house Xuan, not the eldest miss. iâm sure youâve heard of the recent happenings in the xuan family.â
âi donât know how long i can keep my identity as the heir of house xuan. when iâm no longer the heir, iâll no longer be friends with master xie, right? This isnât what I want. When I said I wanted to be friends with family head Xie, I didnât mean this kind of friend.â
âi heard that master xie is in love with the young lady of the shi family. i can help you achieve your wish.â
Xie Heng didnât pay much attention to her at first, but when he heard this, his fingers that were gently tapping on the armrest of the sofa paused and he looked up at her.
âoh? I wonder where miss Xuan heard this from?â
âI have my own ways.â
it was an exaggeration to say that he was in love with the young lady of the shi family. she had only heard some rumors that the shi family and the xie family had the intention of getting married a few years ago, but she was not sure if it was true.
He thought he could get some useful information from Xie Hengâs reaction, but Xie Hengâs emotions were not exposed at all, so he could not see anything.
She didnât have much contact with Xie Heng, and her grandfather was in charge of the two families âbusinesses. it was not until this moment that she truly understood why the outside world used the word âunfathomableâ to describe the young master of the xie clan and why so many people thought that he was the only one who could compare to the fifth lord jiang.
He really couldnât be underestimated.
âon the other hand, family head xie, you didnât refute my words. does that mean that the rumors i heard are true? are you really in love with the shi familyâs eldest daughter?â
âWhat do you think, miss Xuan?â
his attitude was so ambiguous that even xuan siyun couldnât tell if he was interested in miss shi.
âiâm asking because i donât know, but i can see that family head xie doesnât seem to want to tell me your true thoughts, so i wonât ask. Regardless of whether family head Xie is interested in young lady Shi, there is no harm in marrying into the Shi family. As the saying goes, thereâs no smoke without fire. If thereâs a rumor that the Shi family and the Xie family have long been interested in marrying, I believe that there should be someone in your two families who has such intentions.â
âi can help clan head xie to bring home a beauty.â
âalthough iâve never seen this mysterious young lady of the shi family, iâm sure sheâs a beauty judging from the looks of the previous master and madam of the shi family.â
