We shall see indeed, Jun Kai.On the surface, only the mask was visible to everyone, but beneath the mask, mister Ye"s facial expression became devilish.
Despite his ashen face, he calmly took his attention away from Jun Kai. Only a boy that was trying to match up to him, humph. You can be as happy as you want to be now, but you"ve got a long way to go. However, you never know when your wings might finally be broken.
Not long after the small dispute between Jun Kai and mister Ye, an unexpected guest came to sit beside mister Ye. However, with the presence of the newcomer, and a man"s voice, "I"m back."
The voice could not belong to anyone else, but…
"Thought you"d never come back Feng Min." Mister Ye simply replied back to the other person who had taken a break from earlier.
Feng Min? Jun Kai"s eyebrows lifted.
He looked up from the folder that he was reading to the two voices. It really was Feng Min, but why was he with the mysterious mister Ye? Earlier, he recalled that mister Ye was standing not too far from Feng Min, but who would have thought they were together.
Jun Kai was in deep thoughts, what was his cousin trying to plot again. Or was it just by chance that they were friends, but it can"t be? It seemed less likely to be the second possibility. Mister Ye that was never heard or known to be friends with anyone was now friends with Feng Min? Unless there were other motives, then it could be possible.
Then, was this man trying to use Feng Min? Jun Kai knew that these past few years, Feng Min had become even more agitated after Fei Ling had pa.s.sed away.
If someone was to tempt Feng Min or lure him to do something, it would have been easy at this point of time when he was at his lowest. Those that truly cared for Feng Min, for example, grandma Feng was excluded out of his life and it was even harder for Jun Kai to speak sense out of his brother.
On the other hand, Feng Min, who was about to sit down, saw the person sitting nearby. His face turned gloomy and looked away in the opposite direction. He really did not want to face this person at the moment.
"Oh, so now you are not going to say hi to me, brother?" Jun Kai was slightly agitated with Feng Min"s att.i.tude that was becoming worse and worse.
Feng Min scoffed. Brother? Who was his brother? He turned back and said, "What"s the point? Does it really matter that much for the great Jun Kai to ask for a hi from me?" Feng Min"s voice was provocative as he spat each word out.
Feng Min"s words made Jun Kai"s eyebrows furrowed. What was it now?
Because of the silence from Jun Kai, Feng Min decided to speak some more, "Humph, I guess, no." He gave a smile that did not reach his eyes and finally decided to look away without turning back. In the end, you can"t answer me, Jun Kai.
"I think you just made my friend"s mood turned bad. Mister Jun Kai, it"s best to leave us alone, let the older ones spend our time alone without having a kid to mess things up." It was mister Ye who had been quiet and spoke to Jun Kai with smiles.
Mister Ye was very pleased with Feng Min"s att.i.tude towards Jun Kai. He thought to himself; now you see, your beloved brother is with me and you can"t do anything about it. You can wait some more to see all the loved ones you have, slowly turning against you, my friend.
Mister Ye"s mood became much better from being able to tell Jun Kai off. His hands reach his suit and pulled it slightly to set them in place.
Lin Cheng who was standing behind his boss was burning with fire. How dare this person say those words to his boss. Such a showoff. Between his boss and this guy, he was no match for his boss, tsk tsk.
Jun Kai became more irritated. This man should definitely not be with Feng Min, but what to do?
It seems these days there has been so many things out of his control. There"s his cousin that is becoming more against to the family and that other person from home. Without knowing, he began to wonder what would she be doing at this moment.
The three guys all returned to their separate worlds and were now focusing on the auction. Only 10 minutes before the auction would start, but there were no signs of the Xuan leader. Or could the leader be in the crowd?
From behind Jun Kai, a sweet voice called out his name. When Jun Kai turned around, he could see Xue Li walking up to him.
Xue Li red lips were smiling softly while keeping herself calm, "I didn"t think we would be sitting together." She slowly approached Jun Kai with her alluring red dress.
She had put all her hair on one side of her shoulder and revealed her other shoulder. Her fair shoulder was exposed for "someone" to see.
That someone only looked at her briefly before looking away. Xue Li did not mind. She would still be sitting right beside him anyway. Right next to Jun Kai, she sat as elegantly as much as she could. Today, it was her only that was near Jun Kai. The rest of the girls could only look at her with him. As Xue Li thought about it, her lips hooked up.
This time, she did not initiate any conversation as she would normally. From earlier, she knew if she did, he would probably be even more annoyed with her. It best to keep things low. For him, she could do anything. It"s only a matter of time, they would be together. Xue Li merely opened the preview folder and looked through casually.
Then, the time had come for the auction to begin. The stage was lightened with a spotlight and an awfully slim middle-aged man in a black and red tuxedo, completely breaking the norm, came out to the spotlight. He had one gla.s.ses on and went to the podium. His looks were sly and he had sharp cunning eyes. However, there was still no signs of the Xuan leader. Everyone who was here was becoming impatient and wanted to see the leader.
The slim man on the stage furrowed his eyebrows in annoyance. These people, where are their manners. He spoke in the microphone stand on the podium, "Honored guest, may I have your attention." Although he was annoyed, his voice was as warm as ever. It was so warm that some had chills from it. This person was only an auctioneer, a Xuan group"s person, but his presence was this strong, so how much stronger would the leader have.
Jun Kai was slightly worried. The auctioneer had such an att.i.tude, so how much more would the leader have? It was not going to be easy, but still, he was already here.
"Now, we will start with the first item…" The auctioneer began listing the items and everyone"s attention was now on the goods that were being auctioned.
The whole auction was 2 hours long and was drawing nearer to the end. Xue Li, mister Ye, and Feng Min had already auctioned quite a few items in their hands, except for the mister Jun Kai who had not raised his hand to bid for anything. He was sitting in his chair while looking around the whole room in case he would find any person that stood out.
The Xuan leader had yet to appear in the auditorium. Some had completely given up hopes in seeing the leader. Jun Kai could only hope that the leader would arrive since the Xuan group had announced otherwise. He could only believe in it for now.
…
On the top floor
A young lady was in a dark red dress that was so dark it was almost brown. Her dress was an oriental inspired dress from ancient China. There were all kinds of auspicious patterns sewed into her dress.
For the top, she had oversized sleeves like from ancient times. In front, a perfect sized v line collar was formed; it was only exposing her collar bone ever so slightly. She had a wide long golden cloth, infused and blended with red patches, that was tied to her waist. Showing her slim waist which she possessed. Then, the skirt was a long flowy panelled skirt that reached the floor. When she moved, it was like she was walking on the clouds.
"Leader, you look so beautiful!" Chu Chu exclaimed.
Hua who was usually quiet had also joined in, "True, indeed."
Mi Rong who looked at Hua in the mirror teasingly said, "If this dress can make Hua speak then I believe it must be true too, haha." Chu Chu had also joined in the laughter with Mi Rong.
"Leader!" Hua"s cheeks became slightly red.
"Keke, I"m only teasing you." Mi Rong then picked up the final touch to her look. It was a wide elegant derpy hat which had a touch of an oriental mix. There was middle length cloth which was almost transparent but still very covering that came down from her hat entirely covering her beautiful face.
Mi Rong"s voice came under her hat, "Now, we"re ready." Beneath the cover, her lips hooked up.
It"s finally time.
