Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Thank you for your support of Ocean City’s charity. Thank you for your donation.”
“Mrs. Li, the credit is not mine. The money was paid by someone else.”
The two of them exchanged pleasantries. In the end, this charity auction still surprised everyone. The inconspicuous Jiang Youyi actually got first place. There were definitely some socialites who were unconvinced, but there was nothing they could do. Who asked Jiang Youyi to be so lucky?
Xu Pingping did not think that Xu Yuning had done anything wrong. Xu Yuning liked Sister Youyi, so it was normal for him to do such a thing. However, she asked, “Brother, will Mom blame you if she finds out?”
“It’s alright,” Xu Yuning said calmly.
“That’s true. You’re about to inherit the family business. Three million yuan is nothing. Anyway, we’re all doing charity. It’s good to give Sister Youyi a chance.” Xu Pingping comforted Xu Yuning, afraid that he would feel sad.
Xu Yuning did not say anything else. Instead, he lowered his head and looked at the phone case in his hand in a daze. When Jiang Youyi got off the stage, she was actually stopped by Wu Yan. Wu Yan’s expression was not good.
“Jiang Youyi, someone bidded your phone because Xu Yuning still likes you. Don’t be too smug.”
“I’m not smug.” Jiang Youyi didn’t care.
“You’re just being smug. You want everyone to be jealous of you. You’re so evil that you’re still using Xu Yuning’s feelings for you. You’re simply shameless.” “You still have the cheek to criticize me? Didn’t your jade necklace auctioned for 2.5 million?”
“My necklace is valuable. What’s your phone case?”
“Valuable? Don’t be ridiculous. Don’t think that I can’t tell. That necklace is flawed. Although it’s jade, it’s not worth that much money. I’m going home now. Don’t disturb me here. Be careful that I expose you in front of everyone.” Jiang Youyi understood that many people here looked down on her, but she didn’t care. She wasn’t gold, and not everyone would cherish her. She pushed Wu Yan without a care and walked towards Lin Feng.
“Jiang Youyi, here. I’ve kept it well.” Lin Feng smiled and handed the bag to Jiang Youyi.
“Thank you,” Jiang Youyi said.
“If you really want to thank me, say more good things about me in front of your sister.” Lin Feng smiled brightly. He felt that his performance today was not bad. Perhaps Jiang Youyi would really say good things about him.
Jiang Youyi smiled awkwardly. She didn’t know if she should say this kind thing. Suddenly, someone asked Jiang Youyi, “Why don’t I see Deputy Director Ji?”
When Jiang Youyi heard this, she hurriedly looked around and then looked at the door worriedly. She was afraid of seeing Ji Chu. His name was on the invitation list, but he didn’t come. It was better that he didn’t come, in case she encountered an awkward situation.
“I didn’t see him either. Is he really not here?”
“The Ji family has never liked to interact with people from the government. It’s normal for them not to come.”
“But Mrs. Li specially invited him this time! Wouldn’t it be disrespectful if he didn’t come?”
The group of people began to discuss, while Jiang Youyi listened from the side. Suddenly, Lu Yunxiao rushed out from behind. “Do you have a grudge against Ji Chu?”
Jiang Youyi was shocked by him, but she still heard his question and quickly pretended to be stupid. “Ji Chu? Who is Ji Chu?”
As if he already knew that Jiang Youyi would have such a reaction, Lu Yunxiao was very unhappy. “Are you pretending to be stupid with me?”
“Pretending to be stupid? I really don’t know any Ji Chu.” Jiang Youyi would never admit it.
Since the auction was over, it meant that the banquet was also over. The socialites and rich young masters were walking out when Lin Feng suddenly leaned forward. “Jiang Youyi, I think the man who said that you didn’t give a tip at the beginning is quite suspicious. He came specifically for you. Do you want me to find out who appointed him?”
“There’s no need. I think Mrs. Li will investigate.” With that, Jiang Youyi smiled faintly and walked out.
Lin Feng could not help but shake his head. “Jiang Youyi is so smart! I didn’t even think of this.”
This was not difficult to understand. After what happened to that man, Jiang Youyi questioned the security of Mrs. Li’s banquet. At that time, many socialites were present and knew that the security was not good. They would definitely be worried.
As the organizer, Mrs. Li had to give everyone an explanation. The person behind the scenes was really too bold. Didn’t she think of the consequences of causing trouble in Mrs. Li’s territory?
In order to give everyone an explanation, Mrs. Li would investigate this matter. She definitely didn’t know that the man would appear. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have that reaction. Hence, Jiang Youyi did not have to do anything. She just had to wait for Mrs. Li to investigate.
Mrs. Li cared about her reputation and would definitely investigate. She was just using Mrs. Li’s hand to do something for her..
