Chapter 170 Just an excuse
Chapter 170 Just an excuse
As soon as Ye Jin raised her eyes, she saw a little pampering and tenderness in Lu Yichen's cold eyes. Inexplicably, all her lack of self-confidence seemed to have disappeared.
"Well, with you by my side, I'm not afraid of anything."
Ye Jin showed a bright smile towards Lu Yichen. At this moment, her heart felt extremely peaceful.
Lu Yichen smiled and stretched out his hand to scratch the bridge of Ye Jin's nose. There was a rare gentleness on his deep and cold handsome face.
But in the next second, a bright and sunny male voice came from behind them.
"Yichen, why did you think of coming to the auction today? I remember that you usually don't like to attend these parties."
As soon as Lu Yichen turned around, he saw Shi Xianyu who was holding a goblet and wearing a tuxedo, but he was a little surprised that the female companion next to Shi Xianyu turned out to be Xue Meiting.
Seeing Lu Yichen's eyes falling on her, Xue Meiting raised her eyebrows, and there was obvious joy in those beautiful phoenix eyes.
"Brother Yichen, long time no see. Uncle Shi recognized me as his goddaughter a few days ago, so today I will accompany Brother Xianyu to attend this auction."
"Ah."
Lu Yichen looked at Xue Meiting obviously afraid that he might misunderstand, he nodded slightly to show politeness, and then pulled Ye Jin who was behind him in front of the two of them.
"This is my female companion, Ye Jinxi. Although you have met before, this time is different. She is officially accompanying me to the party as my girlfriend."
Ye Jin was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Lu Yichen to bring her into his circle so openly, she couldn't help but feel more at ease.
She turned her face sideways and tightened the hand holding Lu Yichen, her gentle eyes were full of calmness and composure.
"It's been a long time since I saw you. The two of you seem to have more temperament. Today, I am very happy to meet you again as Yichen's girlfriend."
"Miss Ye, I am also deeply honored."
Shi Xianyu glanced at Lu Yichen with a smile that was not a smile, and moved the goblet in Ye Jin's hand back to the wine glass in Ye Jin's hand, and still gave Lu Yichen this face.
Xue Meiting, who was standing beside him, just pursed her lips and smiled awkwardly, as if she was still reluctant to talk to Ye Jin.
Lu Zisong frowned, looked at Xue Meiting's appearance and frowned, and soon had an idea.
"Aunt Meiting, do you really dislike my dad's girlfriend? Why did you ignore her even after Uncle Shi greeted my mommy?"
Lu Zisong raised his white and tender face and looked at Xue Meiting innocently, as if he was expecting her answer.
Ye Jin was a little surprised. Originally, Xue Meiting ignored her, but now Lu Zisong so blatantly exposed her. If Xue Meiting didn't give an explanation, I'm afraid the situation would be so embarrassing.
Although she understood that Lu Zisong was also venting his anger for her, but seeing the embarrassment flashing across Xue Meiting's dignified face, she still didn't want to make the situation too rigid.
But when she was about to open her mouth to break the deadlock, Lu Yichen glanced at her indifferently, and it was just this one glance that made Ye Jin's words froze when he was about to say them.
Xue Meiting didn't expect that the people around her were all on Ye Jin's side, and she was a little angry for a while, but then she thought that it would not be good to offend the Lu family, so she hesitated for a while, and finally forced a smile.
"No, how could I not like brother Yichen's girlfriend, I am also very happy to see Miss Ye today."
As soon as Xue Meiting finished speaking, she picked up the goblet in her hand and touched Ye Jin's red wine glass to show her friendship.
Xue Meiting showed weakness in this originally awkward atmosphere, and it finally came to an end.
Shi Xianyu looked at Xue Meiting with a rather uneasy expression, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and then he grinned at Lu Yichen.
"Hey, brother, it's meaningless to be here with women and children. Anyway, there is still some time before the auction. Do you want to go over there with me to have fun? President Sun and Chairman Liu over there saw you coming, but I just wanted to get together with you."
"Well, that's fine too."
Lu Yichen nodded, and his deep eyes turned to look at Ye Jin beside him, but there was a hint of pampering in his indifferent gaze.
"You and Xiaosong are playing here, and I'll come and pick you up when the scene starts later."
"Well, you go, I will watch Xiaosong."
Ye Jin nodded, and then took Lu Zisong's little hand, his gentle eyes were full of tenderness.
Seeing her so sensible, Lu Yichen's usually cold handsome face showed a little warmth, he nodded slightly and followed Shi Xianyu to leave.
Ye Jin glanced at Xue Meiting, who had a bad face. She sighed, unwilling to argue with her again, and was about to take Lu Zisong's hand and turn around to leave, but unexpectedly, a woman's indifferent voice came from behind her. .
"Ye Jinxi, do you think you won? Why don't you think about how Lu Yichen, who never participated in auctions, came to this auction today? Could it be that he is really free to play with you?"
"What do you want to say, you can say it directly."
Ye Jin, who was about to turn around and leave, heard that Xue Meiting obviously had something to say, but in the end she couldn't help the throbbing in her heart and stopped in her tracks.
Lu Zisong frowned, and stared at Xue Meiting fiercely with his beady eyes, before she had time to speak, he spoke first.
"That's because daddy said that he wanted to buy that crown of tears of pearls, but it must be for my mommy, not for you!"
Seeing Xue Meiting's complexion turned into a pig's liver in an instant, Lu Zisong grimaced at her with a grin, a smug smile on his fair and tender face.
Fortunately, he heard his daddy say it yesterday, otherwise it would be bad if he was provoked by this vicious aunt in front of him.
Ye Jin saw that Xue Meiting was obviously very angry, and she didn't want to talk to her anymore. When she was about to turn around and leave, she didn't expect Xue Meiting's distraught voice to come from behind her.
"Pearl Tears Crown? Ye Jinxi, you are thinking too much. The reason why Lu Yichen came to this party today is really to buy it, but it's not for you, but for Qi Rou."
Hearing this name from someone else again, Ye Jin stopped instinctively, but for a moment, she ignored Xue Meiting behind her, and when she just took the first step, she did not expect the woman behind her to catch up , grabbed her arm, and taunted her ear.
"Today's party has gathered the world's top celebrities, so Qi Rou will also come. Are you sure that the pearl crown is not an excuse for Lu Yichen to find his first love? You are just a substitute, what right do you have to embarrass me?"
