Shi Yunnan's rhetorical question was slow and slow, and it fell into Mrs. Zhao's ears with a 'deliberately provocative' taste.
Mrs. Zhao's complexion changed slightly, and the corners of Luoping's mouth were obviously emotional.
As the hostess of this banquet, she was held by many guests from the moment she entered the venue.
But now, out of nowhere, a young man appeared, who not only helped Mrs. Lou, whom she hated the most, but also dared to challenge her
Mrs. Zhao asked Shi Yunan's identity again, "Which family are you the young master? Who are your parents?"
Wen Yibei, who was on the side, saw that the atmosphere was not right. Just as he was about to step forward to help speak, he saw Xie Keyue walking out of the group of guests, "Mrs. Zhao, this is my brother, Shi Yunan."
"He just came back from abroad a while ago, and it's normal for you to look at the face." Xie Keyue walked to Mrs. Zhao's side and stood still, his eyes silently locked on the two brothers on the opposite side.
Wen Yibei's face paled slightly, slightly avoiding the other party's gaze.
He didn't have much opinion on Xie Keyue, who followed his mother into Shi's house and became the third young master.
However, as an older brother, he would naturally prefer his own younger brother.
Thinking of how Xie Keyue was held up in the Shi family all these years, but Shi Yunnan was left unattended abroad by them, he felt aggrieved for his younger brother.
Shi Yunnan made a short breath, as if he had expected Xie Keyue's appearance.
After all, he is the protagonist of the original book with his own halo and everything goes well. It is indeed difficult to completely overthrow him with just one 'nightclub downfall'.
"Shi Yunan?" Mrs. Zhao muttered vaguely, and then noticed Wen Yibei next to her, and finally fully reacted.
"Yes."
Xie Keyue took the place of answering, his eyes shifted slightly to the jewelry, and the words of the pleasant scene came, "I think this jewelry is graceful and luxurious, and it is suitable for Mrs. Zhao's temperament."
Mrs. Zhao caressed her jewelry necklace vainly, and it was difficult to admire Xie Keyue in her expression, "Speaking of which, I would like to thank the third young master and your mother for this birthday gift."
"Mr. Wen understands music, Master Xie understands jewelry, so..."
Mrs. Zhao deliberately glanced at Shi Yunan's face and changed her words, "Obviously they are brothers in name, why is there such a big difference?"
Shi Yunnan was not mentioned at all in these words, but he also did not save face for Shi Yunnan at all.
As soon as the people around heard this, they instantly understood—
It turns out that Mrs. Zhao's favorite jewelry necklace was given by Xie Keyue and his mother? These blinding diamonds are very expensive just by looking at them!
The results of it
Shi Yunnan, who doesn't understand jewelry, was told nonsense by Shi Yunan, and even said that it was comparable to Mrs. Lou's small jewelry.
No wonder Mrs. Zhao admired Xie Keyue and ignored Shi Yunan.
"How can Shi's family be considered a wealthy family, how can you cultivate such a second young master who doesn't know how to behave?"
"Second Young Master is just a title? Go and ask, Shi Yunnan is the one who was abandoned. Who cares about him?"
"Hey, it's shameful to be thrown here."
"That is, anyone who is wise knows who this banquet should be addressed to."
The guests ate melons and watched the play, occasionally making a few whispers.
Shi Yunnan listened to these remarks without showing any embarrassment on his face. He shook the glass slightly, and even took a leisurely sip of wine.
Wen Yibei, who was close, immediately stepped forward, and once again tightly guarded Shi Yunnan, who was the target of public criticism, behind him.
"Mrs. Zhao, Yunnan didn't say a word to you just now. You shouldn't and have no right to accuse him in public."
Wen Yibei is a graceful and elegant young man who almost never has bad relations with others, but when it comes to Shi Yunnan, his tone is a bit tougher than usual.
The implication is that there is a bit of an apology for Mrs. Zhao in turn.
"Mrs. Zhao, Second Young Master Shi just kindly reassured me."
Mrs. Lou also opened her mouth, feeling sorry for her.
"He has no malice from beginning to end, and he doesn't deliberately dislike your jewelry. Why should you target a child for no reason?"
She only felt that Shi Yunnan was innocent, and was implicated in the open and secret struggle between their women.
It was originally just a small friction between words, but the two sides went back and forth, and the guests on the side were fanning the flames, and the situation suddenly expanded—
Mrs. Zhao became more and more annoyed when she heard this, and couldn't help but let out a sneer, "Child? How old are you to still have children? I will ask, which guest would choose the hostess at the banquet?"
Someone else said gloatingly, "Mrs. Zhao, why don't you check the guest list again? I think some people can't even afford formal clothes, and I'm afraid they might sneak in in troubled waters."
"..."
The relevance of this statement could not be more obvious.
Shi Yunnan looked sideways at the source of sound, only to realize that it was the young master Wei who had broken his mouth from the beginning.
The other party was blocked by Wen Yibei just now, and he has always been unwilling.
When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she suddenly remembered something.
Although the banquet was arranged by the hotel, the guest list was chosen by herself and her husband Zhao Chengru.
She is more or less impressed by the guests invited to participate today, taking the three brothers in name as an example—
Wen Yibei was the guest invited to perform at the opening, and Xie Keyue got the invitation letter because of this 'jewelry gift'.
But the rest of the Shi family, especially this Shi Yunnan in front of her, are not at all in her invitation memory
"Go and check the guest list." Mrs. Zhao asked the waiter beside her.
As soon as these words came out, it was obvious that Shi Yunnan was completely ignored.
Xie Ke Yue lowered his eyes, covering up the pleasure in the depths of his pupils.
Last time Shi Yunnan made him make such a big ups and downs in a nightclub, and today it was his turn to be humiliated in public, and he finally let out a bad breath!
Seeing his younger brother being treated like this in public, Wen Yibei blushed instantly, "Mrs. Zhao, you..."
"Brother, it's okay."
Shi Yunnan clenched Wen Yibei's wrist lightly, preventing the other party from speaking for him.
He took two steps forward with a relaxed expression, "Mrs. Zhao, while the waiter is going to check the guest list, why don't you check your necklace?"
Mrs. Zhao wondered, "What do you mean?"
Shi Yunnan glanced at the jewelry necklace in front of her and said fluently, "This jewelry necklace is called 'Hera'. It was created by two jewelry designers. There is only one in the world, and its value—"
"The equivalent of RMB is as high as 50 million."
When the guests present heard the price, they all gasped in unison.
It is understandable to buy luxury goods for yourself at this price, but it is a bit too much to use as a gift.
Mrs. Zhao was a little surprised, and Xie Keyue on the side unconsciously tightened the glass in his hand, always feeling that Shi Yunnan was going to say something unfavorable to him.
"Although family shame cannot be made public, everyone must know that the Shi Group had some financial problems some time ago, and Mr. Shi has always been strict with our younger generation's property management."
"Ke Yue, where did the money for the necklace come from?" Shi Yunan looked at him with interest, "You mother and son spend so much money, does the old man know?"
"..."
Xie Keyue's face changed slightly, but he didn't answer.
Where does the money for the necklace come from? Of course, it was with his own savings, and Mr. Shi didn't know about it at all.
Some time ago, the nightclub was closed down by the relevant departments, and Xie Keyue was also brought back to the police station for investigation by the police.
Fortunately, he paid attention to it when he invested in the shares. Although the dirty transactions in the nightclub made a lot of money, he didn't take a penny. He didn't even appear in this kind of transaction during the whole process. More money in the money.
Lao Feng had a good relationship with him, but he was somewhat greedy in his bones. He thought he was taking advantage of it and agreed.
Now that something happened to the nightclub, it was a sure thing for Lao Feng to stay in jail.
And Xie Keyue, relying on a relatively clean share transfer, made up his mind that he had no idea about the secret transactions in the nightclub, and he had a lawyer to clear it up...
One to two to go, he got out smoothly.
Xie Keyue has many large and small investments under his hands.
The accident in the nightclub caused him to lose a stable investment share. Xie Keyue naturally needed to find another investment to make up for this gap.
It happened that last month he spent money to acquire a small domestic cosmetics company that was about to go out of business. He planned to sell the products of the small company through the well-known brand of 'Zhao's' and make some quick money.
Therefore, Xie Keyue bought such a jewelry necklace in an attempt to get to know her husband, Zhao Chengru, the boss of the Zhao family, through 'to please Mrs. Zhao'.
…
Of course, the guests present didn't know Xie Keyue's true thoughts. They were a little touched by Shi Yunan, and they began to guess word by word—
"Yeah, how can their mother and son still have spare money to buy gifts for others?"
"Come on, is the Shi family missing the 50,000 to 10,000? Maybe they just want to use the money from this jewelry necklace to seek financial support from the Zhao family."
"I'll just say, there must be a demand for such an expensive gift."
"Neither of you are right." Shi Yunnan shook his head, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more casual, "Because this necklace is a fake, it's not worth 50 million at all."
As soon as the voice fell, there was a sound of gasping in the audience.
Mrs. Zhao was startled and seemed to be in disbelief, "What did you say?"
"Yunnan, what nonsense are you talking about, how could this necklace be fake?"
Xie Keyue immediately followed, although his speed was a little anxious, but the confidence in his tone was still there.
He did spend money to buy it back from abroad, but the price was only a few million, not the sky-high price that the other party said.
Shi Yunnan didn't look at him at all, his sharp gaze was fixed on the necklace.
"The real Hera is made up of 520 diamonds, surrounded by ten giant pearls, backed by 18k rose gold."
"Each diamond on it is of the highest grade in terms of clarity, color and cut, and that's why it's worth its price."
Because there are too many diamonds on the same backing chain, it is very troublesome to create by hand.
The reason why Shi Yunnan knows so well is because this real Hera necklace is one of the works that he designed and participated in creating.
The genuine product is a private collection of a foreign female star, and the buyer's name is also engraved on the bottom, so it is impossible to change hands easily.
So when he saw this necklace just now, he was a little hesitant.
"As for the one on your body, Mrs. Zhao, the clarity that can be discerned by the naked eye is at most VS2, but it is I, J, and even the cut can only be called average..."
Shi Yunnan didn't say too much, but it's enough to show that this necklace is not the best product.
Mrs. Zhao should not be a real diamond collector, plus the lighting in the banquet hall today was used as a cover, so no one noticed.
For everyone, Shi Yunnan's remarks were too professional and fluent, which not only made it difficult for them to refute, but also believed it a little.
"Mrs. Zhao, I originally wanted to save you some face, so I didn't say it at the beginning, but you don't seem to appreciate it..."
Shi Yunnan retracted his gaze and shook his head.
"Even if it's a good copy, it's worth a certain price, but a fake is a fake. It's not as good as Mrs. Lou's diamond necklace."
Shi Yunnan felt that he was not really a good person in his bones.
Others don't provoke him, and he doesn't bother to provoke others, but if others are looking for trouble, he doesn't mind hitting back and making them lose face.
"However, Mrs. Zhao is right in saying that a pheasant cannot become a phoenix."
Shi Yunnan slowly looked at Xie Keyue, revealing his sarcasm unabashedly.
"Some people wear serious clothes and face the wealthy young masters that everyone calls them, but they are not necessarily rotten in their bones."
"..."
Shi Yunnan's counterattack was too sharp, like a series of slaps falling, not giving people a chance to breathe and counterattack at all.
Xie Keyue's face froze, he didn't expect that the other party would cause him trouble in this situation.
"No wonder I just looked at this necklace so familiar, I always thought I'd seen it somewhere."
"Now it looks like the gloss is a little worse than mine."
The wealthy lady who was present whispered, and there was some gloating in her words.
Mrs. Zhao is the one who wants face the most. Originally, she was still laughing at Mrs. Lou's petite dress, but she was pointed out by Shi Yunnan that she was wearing a fake diamond necklace
Afterwards, no matter if the necklace was found to be true or false, it was enough to make her lose face!
The waiter sent to check the list hurried back.
He saw that the atmosphere in the entire banquet hall was about to freeze, and said cautiously, "Madam, I checked it out, the guest list is on..."
"There is indeed no Mr. Shi Yunan."
The guests looked at each other, almost dumbfounded by the successive reversals—
Omg.
Dare to make trouble for a long time, Shi Yunnan really came in in troubled waters
Mrs. Zhao, who was feeling embarrassed and angry, seemed to have grasped something. For the first time, she shouted without regard to her feelings, "Come on, drive Shi Yunnan out of the banquet hall for me!"
At the same time, a stern and eager roar came, "Sun Chengmin, please shut up!"
Sun Chengmin is Mrs. Zhao's real name.
The real owner of the banquet, Zhao Chengru, the chairman of the Imperial Capital Chamber of Commerce, hurried away from the crowd and arrived, his face was very ugly and uneasy.
What shocked everyone the most was that there was actually a figure at the entrance of the banquet hall—
"Patriarch Luo? Why is he here?"
"President Zhao can actually invite him? This is a big face, isn't it?"
Luo Lingsheng controlled the wheelchair to approach slowly, even the posture of sitting still did not affect Luo Lingsheng's terrifying aura.
The audience recovered from the initial exclamation and unconsciously turned into silence.
Luo Lingsheng stopped at a distance of about three or four meters from the crowd, his eyes hidden under the lens were scrutinized, and he asked every word—
"Shi Yunnan is the one I brought, who dares to drive him out?"
