“Go and stop that woman for me!”
Tang Qing suddenly ordered, after which the secretary hurriedly nodded and rushed out of the venue.
Yan Jinyi and Shen Yan had just collected the items they bought at the auction.
“Jinyi, you’re pretty awesome, you made Tang Qing break the bank twice.”
Yan Jinyi said casually, “Mr. Tang is handsome and kind, I can’t help it if he wants to pay.”
‘Uh…’
Shen Yan had a gut feeling that Yan Jinyi seemed to have a feud with Tang Qing, to be precise, it seemed that Tang Qing had offended Yan Jinyi.
“Grandpa usually likes to collect famous paintings. This painting that you picked is great, I believe Grandpa will like it.”
‘I don’t care if he likes it or not. I didn’t have to pay anyway.’
Yan Jinyi seemed to be the big winner of the auction this time. Not only did she earn 2 million yuan for nothing, she even got Tang Qing to pay for Old Master Huo’s gift.
While chatting and giggling with Shen Yan and getting ready to get inside the car, a few men in black suddenly dashed over to surround the two of them.
Seeing this, Shen Yan frowned and said with some austerity in her tone, “What are you trying to do?”
Tang Qing’s secretary soon rushed over and bowed to the two of them respectfully. “Young Mistress Huo, Second Young Mistress Huo, Mr. Tang still has some things to ask the two of you. We’ll have to hold you back a little. Please wait a moment before you leave.”
Shen Yan looked at Yan Jinyi and placed the gift back inside the car after Yan Jinyi nodded.
Tang Qing had already removed his blazer and was now wearing a white shirt with two buttons unbuttoned. There rosary necklace he was wearing around his neck was completely exposed.
He had a cigarette in his mouth and his hands in the pockets of his trousers, looking extremely roguish.
“Mr. Tang, is there anything else?”
Tang Qing looked at Young Mistress and snubbed the cigarette butt. “Second Young Mistress Huo, you seem to have forgotten something. Can you tell me the origin of the bangle?”
Yan Jinyi stifled a yawn lazily and said, “Oh, the crew bought it casually from a roadside stall. The bangle matches your aura. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to bring myself to put it up for auction.”
Tang Qing’s face turned sullen.
‘From the roadside stall?’
‘I spent 2 million yuan on an item from the roadside stall?’
‘What does she mean it matches my aura?’
‘Is she trying to say that I’m on the same level as a good from a roadside stall?’
Glancing at her sinisterly, he said, “Woman, you have three seconds to apologize.”
“Why should I apologize?”
‘She has the cheek to ask why?’
Tang Qing burst into laughter and said, “How dare you put an item from the roadside stall up for auction? You even cheated me out of two million yuan, you bastard. If you apologize, I won’t hold it against you. Otherwise…”
Tang Qing squinted and began moving his limbs.
Hearing this, Shen Yan’s face immediately turned pale. Tang Qing was known for being a rogue and he would never hesitate to hit anyone who provoked him, even if she was a woman.
“Jinyi, why don’t I…”
Yan Jinyi shielded Shen Yan behind her without showing any signs of panic. “Mr. Tang, did you forget that you agreed to buy it on your own accord? Also, since when have I lied to you? Did I ever say that this bangle is extremely valuable?”
“It’s just a bangle from the roadside stall. Why did you boast that it was from the Black Cloud Fortress?”
Yan Jinyi answered solemnly, “Yeah, it’s from the Black Cloud Fortress. That’s the name of my room. I wore this bangle in my room. Doesn’t that make the origin of this bangle the Black Cloud Fortress?”
Tang Qing’s face grew even more sullen. “Didn’t you say that it was from a 500-year-old tree?”
“That was a wild guess. Trust you to believe it.”
As she spoke, Yan Jinyi rolled her eyes at Tang Qing.
‘Damn it.’
He was at a loss for words for a rebuttal!
“Maybe, you haven’t gone around to ask about me. Mr. Tang, I’m the last person you should trust! I’m really not trustworthy, Mr. Tang!” Yan Jinyi exclaimed with a helpless expression.
