Chapter 652: Chapter 652: Could Brother Possibly Compete with You for a Woman?
"Mr. Ji?" The assistant by his side saw him lost in thought for a long time and couldn’t help but speak up to remind him.
Ji Qing then collected his thoughts and walked with steady steps towards his own seat.
After sitting down, he instructed his assistant, "Check that little girl’s information."
On the other side.
Ji Yebai took a phone call and said to Ning Xixi, "Brother is also here, let’s go say hello."
"Brother Yemo?"
"Yeah, let’s go outside to meet them."
Ji Yebai led Ning Xixi about two hundred meters out, just in time to bump into Ji Yemo and his female companion.
"Brother!" Ji Yebai waved his hand, Ji Yemo glanced sideways, the cold aura surrounding him decreased significantly, "Yebai, Xixi."
And holding his arm, Wen Zhiyan’s eyes widened incredulously.
Ning Xixi? How could she be here?
She’s just a lowly actress, how could she charm Ji Yebai into bringing her to such an event?
After seeing Wen Zhiyan, Ji Yebai frowned, "Brother, aren’t you going to introduce her?"
In his heart, Sister Xixia had given so much for his brother, they were supposed to be the couple.
Who is this woman who appeared out of nowhere?
Wen Zhiyan felt a bit awkward, not knowing where Ji Yebai’s hostility towards her came from.
But when she thought about Ji Yemo introducing her identity, her heart swelled with joy.
Introducing her to the family means Ji Yemo has accepted her, right...
"A friend, Miss Wen." Seven words, simple, crisp, without a hint of emotion.
Wen Zhiyan’s burgeoning smile instantly froze.
Turning her head, she looked straight at the tall and upright man in front of her, the charm of a mature man was undoubtedly evident on him, his handsome face always covered with a layer of ice, so cold yet so heart-thrilling.
She thought that being able to attend all sorts of events with Ji Yemo meant she was his girlfriend...
Could it be, she was just imagining things?
It would have been alright if it was only Ji Yebai, but with Ning Xixi around, Wen Zhiyan felt she was an eyesore.
She couldn’t stand losing face in front of such a lowly woman!
The next instant—
"This is my brother, Ji Yemo, and my sister-in-law, Ning Xixi." After a brief introduction, Wen Zhiyan stood frozen, disbelief written all over her face.
Sister-in-law...?
Ji Yemo said Ning Xixi was her sister-in-law? Doesn’t that acknowledge Ning Xixi as Ji Yebai’s future wife?
Impossible! Isn’t she just a woman Ji Yebai casually toys with? How could she receive Ji Yemo’s approval?
In her resentful eyes, Ji Yebai walked away with Ning Xixi by his side, and Ji Yemo spoke indifferently, "Miss Wen, please."
Polite, distant.
She used to think it was Ji Yemo’s gentlemanly behavior, but now she realizes it was just indifference.
Fingernails digging into her palm, a dull pain...
...
The guests took their seats, and the auction began on time.
There were many items being auctioned, jewelry, antiques, paintings and calligraphy... The audience on-site was also enthusiastic, bidding high prices one after another.
The Ji brothers’ seats were next to each other; Ning Xixi casually praised a painting, not expecting Brother Yemo to actually bid and win it.
"You like it, it’s for you," Ji Yemo said warmly.
Ning Xixi was pleasantly surprised, "Thank you, Brother Yemo..."
Ji Yebai said discontentedly, "Brother, aren’t you a bit too quick with the bidding? If my wife likes it, I can get it for her! Why are you stealing my thunder?"
Ji Yemo laughed, "Oh, you really are a child. Would your brother really compete with you over a woman?"
"Hmph, Erxi is such a fangirl, you’re so handsome, maybe one day she’ll be smitten by you, where will I go to cry then!"
In front of his brother, Ji Yebai acted like a typical young man, venting and complaining to his brother.
Wen Zhiyan watched enviously, she had just mentioned that a pair of earrings was nice, but Ji Yemo only said, "If you like them, you can bid for them." He didn’t bid for her.
But he did for Ning Xixi...
Damn!
