Just as Sun Yi was feeling distressed, a familiar figure appeared within her field of vision.
“Ye Chen, I’m here!”
Ye Chen?
The few rich kids were stunned and subconsciously turned to look at who she was talking to. When they saw Ye Chen walking toward them, their faces turned pale. They stood rooted to the ground and did not dare to move!
It was actually that fiend!
They had witnessed the scene of Wu Xiangming kneeling in front of Ye Chen, which was why they had left that section of the villa and come to this remote corner instead, but this fellow had now come running here instead!
When Ye Chen reached Sun Yi, they finally regained their senses. Their faces were full of smiles as they imitated Wu Xiangming and shouted, “Hello, Mr. Ye, I’m…”
“Get lost,” Ye Chen said calmly.
“Alright!”
They dispersed themselves into the crowd as fast as they could. In just five seconds, not even their figures could be seen.
Eh? Why did these people seem so afraid of Ye Chen?
Was the Heavenly Justice Group so influential now? As this section of the villa was a good distance from the main hall, Sun Yi had not seen what had happened earlier.
“Ye Chen, well done! In the future, you’ll be my personal shield,” Sun Yi patted Ye Chen’s shoulder and said in satisfaction.
A few pairs of eyes hidden in the crowd saw this and trembled in fear. They also silently memorized Sun Yi’s appearance.
Not long after, music started playing in the villa. Xia Ruoxue’s birthday party had officially begun. Xia Ruoxue’s mother then appeared on stage and gave a few words to welcome and thank the guests. She mentioned many people, but did not mention anything about Ye Chen.
After that, Xia Ruoxue’s grandmother went on stage and said many wonderful things about Xia Ruoxue, causing her eyes to turn red.
Ye Chen, who was below the stage, could tell that this woman’s love for Ruoxue far exceeded that of Ruoxue’s mother.
The banquet in a spectacular fashion with performances, banter and games. Toward the end, the popular female star even sang a song dedicated to Xia Ruoxue on stage.
When things quieted down, Xia Ruoxue appeared on the stage in her evening gown, looking like a lotus flower that had just bloomed.
Seeing this, everyone began to prepare themselves, as they had come to this banquet for this segment.
A man in a custom-made suit saw that no one was moving and quickly stood up. He carried an exquisite box and went on stage.
“Miss Xia, this gift is for you. I hope that Miss Xia can open it now. I think you’ll definitely like it.”
Xia Ruoxue wanted to hand the box over to the servant, but since the other party had requested it, she nodded.
When the box was opened, it revealed an exquisite jade Guanyin statue. From the material of the jade, one could tell that its value was remarkable.
The man glanced at the crowd and said proudly, “This is the jade Guanyin that I spent nearly 50 million to buy from the Royal Jade workshop. It took them two months to make it.”
He thought that Xia Ruoxue would be very excited, but the latter merely smiled and handed it over to the servant.
The man was stunned, and then walked down gloomily.
The crowd below burst into laughter.
Even though this jade Guanyin was worth a lot of money, the one thing the Xia family did not lack was money!
Giving such a gift was akin to inviting ridicule upon oneself.
Sun Yi glanced at Ye Chen beside her and said worriedly, “Ye Chen, I feel that my gift is lacking in comparison. I’d better give it to Ruoxue earlier. If I wait too long, the gifts will only get more and more outrageous. Oh right, what did you prepare?”
Ye Chen blinked mysteriously and did not say anything.
People started to give Xia Ruoxue expensive gifts, but Xia Ruoxue remained unmoved. Then, Sun Yi gave her a model of the Grand River apartment that she had personally made, which made Xia Ruoxue extremely excited.
The model not only recreated the apartment that they had lived in, but there were also three little people there, and one of the little people was smoking on the balcony. This one was obviously Ye Chen!
“Sun Yi, I love it!”
Xia Ruoxue kissed Sun Yi’s cheek, making everyone envious.
After that, others gave her more gifts, but nothing else made Xia Ruoxue excited. Even Xia Ruoxue’s mother shook her head. Up until now, nothing had caught her eye.
In the end, there were only a few people left.
Wu Xiangming stood up and walked in front of Xia Ruoxue. He took out a jade pendant and said respectfully, “Miss Xia, because 1 came in a hurry, 1 didn’t have much time to prepare. My gift is this jade pendant, and I hope that Miss Xia’s wishes will come true.”
Xia Ruoxue was just about to take the jade pendant when her mother walked over. She glanced at it nervously and her breathing quickened.
This was because there was a large “Wu” word engraved on the back of the jade pendant!
Her mother quickly said, “Mr. Wu, giving her the Wu family token is too valuable. We can’t afford to accept this.”
When the crowd heard this, their expressions changed. Wu Xiangming had given out the Wu family token?
This was equivalent to saying that Xia Ruoxue was under the Wu family’s protection!
Moreover, the Wu family’s rules stipulated that each Wu family token could only ever be given to one person!
Who would have thought that Wu Xiangming would give such a precious item to Xia Ruoxue?
Even if all the birthday gifts that had been given so far were added up, they still could not compare to this jade pendant.
Countless envious and jealous gazes turned toward Xia Ruoxue.
Xia Ruoxue quickly waved her hand.
“Mr. Wu, this is too valuable. How can I accept this?”
Although Xia Ruoxue’s mother really wanted this jade pendant, she could only say politely, “Mr. Wu, why don’t you take it back?”
Wu Xiangming stuffed the jade pendant into Xia Ruoxue’s hands and laughed heartily.
“Valuable? Compared to your relationship with Mr. Ye, this item is not worth mentioning.”
“In the future, if I have the chance to attend your and Mr. Ye’s wedding, I’ll definitely prepare an even bigger gift!”
Hearing this, Xia Ruoxue’s mother’s face darkened, and everyone wondered if they had heard correctly.
It was this Mr. Ye person again!
What was the meaning of Wu Xiangming’s last sentence?
Almost everyone present knew about the marriage arrangement between the Xia family and the Qin family, yet Wu Xiangming actually completely disregarded this matter!
This was too audacious!
Xia Ruoxue blushed as she accepted the jade pendant and said softly, “Thank you, Mr. Wu.”
To everyone’s surprise, Xia Ruoxue did not refute Wu Xiangming’s words!
F*ck!
Something big had happened!
Everyone’s gaze turned to Qin Yuanqiang at the same time.
As expected, Qin Yuanqiang’s face was filled with anger. Then, he stood up abruptly and walked over to Xia Ruoxue.
“Mr. Qin, Mr. Wu was joking just now,” Xia Ruoxue’s mother hurriedly explained.
Qin Yuanqiang glared at Wu Xiangming and said, “Wu Xiangming, 1 hope you know your place. Otherwise, when the time comes, no one can save you.”
Wu Xiangming ignored him and returned to his seat.
After that, Qin Yuanqiang suppressed the anger in his heart and took out a jade pendant to pass to Xia Ruoxue.
There was an ancient-looking “Qin” word carved on the jade pendant.
“Miss Xia, what is the Wu family token in comparison? The Qin family can offer you far more!”
