Chapter 199: Jewelry Auction
Being in the limelight and attracting attention could be said to be the thing that Qin Ran hated the most. Therefore, when she heard Mo Chi say this, she didn’t want to wear this string of jewelry to the auction.
“I’ve already chosen the gown I like, and I’ll obediently participate in the auction. It’s just that this string of diamonds is really too dazzling. I really don’t want to be the center of attention. Can I not wear it?”
As Qin Ran spoke, she saw Butler Zhang, who was beside Mo Chi, constantly winking at her, as if he didn’t want her to finish what she had just said.
Actually, Butler Zhang was sincere about the relationship between his master and Young Madam. For two months, he knew how much effort Mo Chi had put into this string of diamonds just to give Qin Ran a surprise today. If she didn’t appreciate it, wouldn’t it be very hurtful?
She thought that Mo Chi would be unhappy, but unexpectedly, he only nodded lightly. “Alright, if you really don’t want to wear it, then don’t.”
One day, on the way to send Qin Ran to school, Butler Zhang talked about this matter and asked her why he wasn’t angry. Her answer was, “Because between husband and wife, no matter what doubts or questions there are, you should directly say and explain them. This is the best way to improve your relationship.”
At seven in the evening, the auction started as scheduled. The products that were going to be auctioned at nine o’clock were already displayed in the display cabinet.
Although Qin Ran came with Mo Chi, he was still a tycoon of the business circle after all. There were countless people who came to toast him. Qin Ran felt really bored, so she used the excuse of going to the washroom to obtain some freedom.
Qin Ran casually strolled around the party and went over to take a look at anything new. However, she didn’t expect that there would be many fashion brands coming to advertise at such a party. For example, there were many brand new dresses placed in front of her.
“Can you know your limits? How do you work?”
Qin Ran followed the woman’s sharp voice and looked over. She saw a girl with exquisite makeup and hair with a disdainful expression.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I apologize.”
This voice sounded familiar. Qin Ran took two steps closer.
......
“Is there any use in apologizing? Let me tell you, my skin is very sensitive. That one hit hurt me.” The girl pulled the clothes on her neck slightly, as if she was carefully checking where the pain came from.
“I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I’ll apologize to you.” The more Qin Ran listened, the more familiar it sounded. However, there were many people blocking her way. Moreover, the girl who apologized had her back facing her, so she couldn’t see her face clearly.
“Is there any use in apologizing? I’m going to complain about you. Your business ability isn’t up to standard. You pulled my collar zipper too hard just now, and my neck is red.” The woman refused to let go.
“I’m really sorry. I beg you, please don’t complain about me. I did use too much force just now. But… but I suggested in advance that the size you’ve chosen is one size smaller, so you can…”
“So you’re trying to say that it’s not your fault, that it’s all my fault?”
Qin Ran listened from the side and already understood most of it.
“That’s really not what I meant. I just wanted to say… I wanted to ask if you could not complain.” The girl kept apologizing with an extremely humble attitude.
“It’s fine if I don’t complain, but you’ll have to pay. My body is precious. It’s not too much for you to pay me 100,000 yuan for this, right?” The girl with exquisite makeup sized up the waiter and moved a few steps. She looked around and finally stopped behind the waiter.
The more she listened, the more ridiculous it became. Qin Ran really wanted to go forward and educate this unruly girl. However, when she thought about how there was still Mo Chi at the scene, she decided to try her best not to cause trouble and watch the development of the matter first.
“I… I really don’t have 100,000 yuan. Why don’t you hit me? Just take it as venting your anger.” Seeing the girl move, the waiter also turned around.
Qin Ran looked over and was instantly stunned because she saw that this waiter was none other than the organizing committee member of her class, Xia He, who had accompanied her on the field during the welcome party.
Xia He was the first person in the class, other than Su Nan, to believe in Qin Ran. After interacting with her for so long, Qin Ran was also very willing to make her a friend.
“Alright, then I’ll compromise and slap you.”
