Chapter 7 Aren’t you afraid that it might be robbed one day?

Originally, we wanted to invite Quan Shijin to this award ceremony.

At that time.

Quan Shijin stood in the courtyard of the club.

Seems to be waiting for someone.

It was late at night and the wind made his coat rustle violently.

The moon is high overhead.

Someone passed by and looked up to see Quan Shijin standing there with one hand in his pocket.

He has a tall figure and an upright posture, and even his back view is elegant and unparalleled.

If I have to describe the moonlight, it is not even one third as good as this.

Someone recognized him; that person was Quan Shijin.

I didn't want to disturb them at first, but it was obvious that the situation in the capital had undergone subtle changes since the third young master of the Quan family returned to the capital.

Even though the Quan family still stands at the pinnacle of power, they cannot stop the people below from making moves.

After thinking about it, he stepped forward.

They wanted to know what type of women Quan Shijin liked so that they could send him women who met the criteria to please him.

He said respectfully, "Master Quan, this is your first time back. This dinner is an award ceremony for best actresses. Are you interested?"

There were all kinds of women at the award ceremony, cool, gorgeous, first love... there was always the type that Quan Shijin liked.

Quan Shijin heard the voice and looked over. His eyes seemed to be filled with ice, as if even the moonlight could not melt it. He knew their purpose and replied coldly, "Not interested."

They suddenly thought of a word——

It's just like the snow on the top of a mountain, so cold that it has no temperature.

Although I am disappointed, I dare not act rashly.

At this time, Song Chao came over from not far away, looking at them with a fake smile, "What's the point of attending a dinner for an award ceremony that was manipulated by He Ci? It's ok for this new actress to be called the little Wen Ruoci, but her face and acting skills are not as good as Wen Ruoci. Instead of going to see her, it's better to go back and look at two photos of Wen Ruoci, at least it's more pleasing to the eye."

Even though this was a fact that was pointed out mercilessly by Song Chao, they still looked a little embarrassed.

"Master Quan, Master Song, if that's the case, we won't bother you anymore."

After they left, Quan Shijin, who had not said much, suddenly spoke up, "Let's go and see what this dinner is all about."

Song Dynasty, "..."

He didn't understand why Quan Shijin suddenly became interested in this ordinary award ceremony.

But there was no stopping it.

Quan Shijin and Song Chao suddenly visited, and the organizers were extremely nervous, but Song Chao said that they were just here to take a look, so they should not leak the news and just arrange a secret location for them.

The organizers were extremely cautious for fear of offending them and finally arranged a satisfactory seat for them.

From a room on the second floor, you can have a panoramic view of almost everything downstairs.

Song Chao looked at Quan Shijin. Quan Shijin looked downstairs, like an ancient well, calm and peaceful. There was no ripple in his eyes, and it seemed as if no one could enter.

He still didn't understand why Quan Shijin suddenly wanted to come to this dinner.

The party started soon.

The Song Dynasty's attention was also focused on the following.

When almost all the characters appeared, there was no sign of He Ci.

Song Chao couldn't help but smile, "He Ci made his little lover a movie queen, how come she didn't even show up at such an important moment? How disappointed Miss Zhou must be..."

Quan Shijin's eyes fell on Zhou Ying and he said coldly,
"They do look a bit like each other, but their imitation is too ugly to be seen."

After saying that, he just stood up and left, as if he was too lazy to continue paying attention to it.

Song Dynasty, "..."

He was really unable to guess what Quan Shijin meant.

The only thing that can come to mind is that Young Master Quan, this flower on the mountain top, has always been in a high position, and maybe he is too lonely and wants to be more down-to-earth occasionally.

He had no interest in the dinner and quickly got up and left.

The room was empty, as if no one had ever been there, except for the smoke rising from the teacup.

………………

The day of the auction soon arrived.

Although Wen Ruoci dressed up carefully, she still couldn't hide her paleness and weakness, probably because she was sick.

She actually looks like a sick beauty.

Li Fei raised her eyebrows, finally understanding what it meant to be a beautiful woman in poverty, which made people feel even more pitiful.

In the past, Wen Ruoci was beautiful and charming, but too cold and out of touch with reality, like a goddess who was high above everyone else. But once she felt vulnerable, it was like a goddess who had fallen into the mortal world. She easily aroused the deepest pity in people's hearts, and it was impossible to look away.

Wen Ruoci didn't speak much along the way.

She didn't feel particularly energetic and wasn't in a very good mood, so she just closed her eyes and rested.

Li Fei glanced at him a few times out of the corner of his eye and said nothing along the way.

It was not until I got out of the car that I met He Ci and Zhou Ying at the door of the auction house.

She couldn't help but cursed: "Fuck."

What kind of fate is this?

What a coincidence, we met like this.

Wen Ruoci was a little surprised when she saw Zhou Ying and He Ci, but not that surprised. In short, she didn't really want to pay attention to these two people.

She wanted to just pass by and leave, but Zhou Ying called her over, smiling and speaking with a vague sense of superiority, "Miss Wen, what a coincidence, I didn't expect we would meet again."

Wen Ruoci stopped and looked back at the two people, her face calm and her tone indifferent, "Unfortunately, after all, this is the main entrance of the auction house, everyone has to enter through the main entrance, and more importantly, the auction will start in ten minutes."

Therefore, their meeting was not such a coincidence, after all, the location and time were strictly controlled. He Ci's eyes fell on Wen Ruoci.

Whether this woman spoke or not, she always made him inexplicably irritated.

Seeing that He Ci had been staring at Wen Ruoci, Zhou Ying suddenly smiled, put her arm around He Ci, and spoke with an uneasy look on her face.
"Mr. He, what should I do if Miss Wen and I like the same auction item?"

He Ci sneered, "You wanted Wen Ruoci's title of Best Actress, but I gave it to you, not to mention it's an auction item."

Hearing this, Zhou Ying felt relieved and said in a friendly manner, "Mr. He, you are so nice."

Li Fei was extremely disgusted by Zhou Ying's affectation. She glanced at He Ci and then at Zhou Ying, and deliberately said, "Mr. He, people in the circle say that Zhou Ying is a little Wen Ruoci. Do you think that Miss Zhou looks like our Ruoci, so you are attracted to her..."

At this point, he deliberately dragged out the ending tone, "Is it true that you still love our Ruoci, but you can't accept everything that happened in the past, so you found such a substitute..."

Zhou Ying bit her lip. In this world, the thing she hated most was that she was Wen Ruoci's substitute.

She looked at He Ci with a wronged look on her face. Just as she was about to speak, she saw an evil look in the man's eyes that she had never seen before.

She felt that the congratulatory speech this time was different from the ones she had seen in the past, and she didn't dare to say anything.

He Ci stared at Li Fei, and after a while he suddenly sneered, "Li Fei, do you really think that if you piss me off, Jiang Shaoze will be able to protect you?"

Li Fei, "I don't know whether Jiang Shaoze can protect me, but I know whether I have touched your heart at this moment."

"you……"

Seeing that He Ci was about to get angry, Wen Ruoci immediately stood in front of Li Fei and said in a light tone, "Mr. He, the auction is about to start."

He Ci looked at Wen Ruoci who was standing in front of Li Fei, and his expression suddenly became colder.

"What are you arguing about?"

Suddenly, a teasing voice came from not far away.

The four people present all looked over and saw two people walking towards them from a distance.

It was Song Chao and Quan Shijin.

Some people are really always the focus of the crowd.

Just by standing there, without saying a word, you can attract everyone's attention.

He Ci looked at Quan Shijin and for the first time felt a little pressure from a man, and...

An inexplicable frustration that he didn't want to admit.

He was not afraid of the Song Dynasty, but he still had to be cautious when facing Quan Shijin.

Approaching them, Song Chao looked at the four of them with a certain interest, "I've always heard that Mr. He and Mrs. He don't have a good relationship, but today I see that it doesn't seem to be the case. They can even come to the auction house together, so I guess their relationship is not as bad as others say."

He automatically ignored Li Fei who was standing next to Wen Ruoci, and Zhou Ying who had been at the center of gossip with He Ci recently.

Wen Ruoci frowned slightly. Song Chao was not like those rich second-generations who liked gossip. He had means and schemes, and was full of murderous intent. He was not a person who liked to joke and make fun of others. She always felt that what he said was meant to be meaningful.

Before she could figure out what was going on, Quan Shijin, who was standing next to Song Chao, suddenly looked at him and said coldly, "It's getting late, we should go."

Song Chao and Quan Shijin didn't spend much time together, but even so, he could vaguely feel that Quan Shijin seemed a little unhappy.

He didn't understand why Quan Shijin was unhappy.
He suddenly recalled what happened in the private room of the club that day when he was not there.

A ridiculous thought arose in my mind - it couldn't be because of Wen Ruoci, right?

But he quickly gave up the idea.

After all, from the moment he stood here, Quan Shijin didn't even glance at Wen Ruoci.

However, Wen Ruoci looked at Quan Shijin several times.

He originally wanted to just leave, but suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at He Ci with even more unknown interest.

"Mr. He, Mrs. He's brother stabbed me. Do you know about this?"

He Ci said indifferently, "I know. I also heard that Young Master Song sent him to the detention center and did not allow the Wen family to visit him, nor did he allow him to hire a lawyer to bail him out."

Song Chao smiled, "That's right. Madam He has come to me several times for her brother. I didn't want to let Master Wen go so easily, but I am kind to women. Master He, as long as you say the word, I will order Miss Wen's brother to be released. How about that?"

Originally Wen Ruoci was still thinking about how she should tell Song Chao about this matter. She didn't expect that Song Chao would actually take the initiative to talk about it.

She knew in her heart that He Ci would not ask to help her, but she couldn't remain indifferent after hearing these words. She looked at He Ci with somewhat hope.

"He Ci, can you please ask Mr. Song to let Xiaoyou out——"

He Ci rarely saw Wen Ruoci being so humble.

For a moment, he actually felt a little soft-hearted.

He suddenly hated it even more.

He hated himself. She said nothing and did nothing, but her attitude softened a little. He felt as if his heart was being pulled and he couldn't help but want to bow his head.

I managed to hold it back with great difficulty.

He said indifferently, "He hurt Young Master Song, so let him stay in the detention center for a while, which can be regarded as a lesson for him."

Song Chao was not so surprised, as he had long guessed that He Ci would say that.

He shrugged at Wen Ruoci.

If eyes could speak, Song Dynasty would probably be saying:

Your husband won't help you, so how can I let him go easily?

He Ci's answer was within her expectations, but Wen Ruoci still couldn't stop feeling disappointed.

Quan Shijin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly sneered.

Song Chao was surprised and looked at Quan Shijin. The next second, he heard him say word for word, "I heard that many people in the capital like Miss Wen, but Young Master He has taken her by force. It would be fine if he took her by force, but he doesn't cherish her. Isn't Young Master He worried that one day she will be snatched away by someone else?"

Song Dynasty, "???"

This was the first time he heard Quan Shijin speak such a long sentence since he met him.

It was because of Wen Ruoci that he was shocked.
