Chapter 1123
1123 The eldest young master of the Zong family who had disappeared for five years
Lan Xiao quickly stood up and waved at Zong Cheng, who had just entered the venue. “Zong Qian, over here.”
When Zong Yi saw Lan Xiao, his eyes lit up slightly and he walked towards Lan Xiao.
Brother Jiang swept a glance at Zong Cheng, and a trace of gloominess flashed past his eyes.
“Why is he here?”
Lan Xiao asked in surprise, ” “You know him?”
“The Zong family’s eldest young master, Qianqian, who disappeared for five years, is said to have fallen out with Madam Zong five years ago, and has never appeared in the Zong family since. Could it be that he had been in the Jin capital all these years? How do you know him?” Brother Jiang frowned and turned to Lan Xiao.
“You might not believe it, but this master is currently working in my jewelry store. I’m his boss Yingluo. I’m the one who asked him to come to this auction.” Lan Xiao confirmed his guess and relaxed his guard.
It seemed that Zong Cheng wasn’t in the Zong clan now.
From brother Jiang’s words, it seemed that he had broken off relations with the Zong family?
As long as Zong Cheng did not go undercover in the jewelry store just because of her identity, she would be at ease.
Zong Cheng walked closer, and when he saw brother Jiang, his eyes narrowed slightly.
He turned around and was about to leave.
Lan Xiao quickly blocked his path. “Where are you going?”
Zong Yi stopped in his tracks and glanced around at the surprised gazes.
He looked at Lan Xiao and replied indifferently, ” “I’m sure you already know my identity, miss LAN. I don’t think there’s a need for me to stay here any longer. If miss LAN is afraid of my identity and wants to fire me, I have no objection. I still have things to do, so I won’t stay any longer and take up everyone’s time.”
At this moment, Zong Yi was as cold as ice, as if he was blocking anyone from approaching.
Even Lan Xiao was frostbitten.
She stared at his dark eyes and could not help but smile.
“I’ve never thought of firing you. If you want to continue working in the jewelry store, you can stay. To be honest, I brought you here today to test your identity. On the other hand, I really want to show you something about jewelry.”
“I know that you really like to appraise jewelry, and you seem to be obsessed with it. We both have this kind of hobby, and I appreciate talent, so I wanted to help you. I hope you don’t misunderstand my intention.”
Zong Yi’s eyes flashed, as if he didn’t expect Lan Xiao to actually say this.
He had thought that Lan Xiao suspected that he was from the Zong family and once his identity was confirmed, he would fire him just in case.
Unexpectedly, not only did Lan Xiao not fire him, but he even allowed him to stay and learn more about jewelry.
He pursed his thin lips, stared at Lan Xiao, and asked in a trembling voice, ” “Why? Why are you helping me?”
Lan Xiao’s eyes flickered as she winked at him,”I told you, I’m not trying to help you. I’m just doing this because I value talents. You do have the ability to appraise jewelry, and I did it without any effort. Besides, since you’re an employee of my store, it’s my duty to train you. If you don’t mind, you can stay. There will be a big surprise waiting for us at the auction later.”
As far as she knew, the exhibits in the auction this time were all extremely valuable and precious.
The auction held by the Fang family was naturally different from the ones held by others.
This was a good opportunity to broaden his horizons and learn from his experience in this area.
Zong Yi was slightly stunned, staring at Lan Xiao’s mischievous smile, he was a little lost.
Brother Jiang was at the side, holding his fist to his thin lips and coughing a few times.
His few coughs completely brought Zong Yi back to his senses.
He quickly lowered his eyes and thanked Lan Xiao, ” “Miss LAN, I’ll thank you then.”
Lan Xiao waved his hand and chuckled softly. you’re welcome. You’re my employee. Of course, I have to help you with your Yingluo. Since it hasn’t started yet, you can go to other places and shop around first, Yingluo.
Zong Yi nodded and turned to leave without any hesitation.
Brother Jiang stared at Zong Cheng’s back as he left and sighed, ” I didn’t expect that the young master of the main family, who was once all over the Jin capital, would end up in such a state.
Lan Xiao looked at brother Jiang in confusion and asked in a low voice, ” “That’s right, he’s the first young master of the Zong family, so why did he break off relations with Madam Zong? He was clearly in the Jin capital, but he never returned to the Zong family. What happened five years ago? Is he Madam Zong’s son?”
Brother Jiang’s eyes were clear and full of emotion.
“He’s naturally Madam Zong’s biological son. However, he and Madam Zong don’t seem like mother and son, but more like enemies. Five years ago, the person in charge of the Zong family was Zong Yi, not Madam Zong. Back then, for some unknown reason, the Zong family’s regime was changed. Madam Zong held the power, but Zong Cheng left the Zong family and disappeared without a trace. She had thought that he would leave the Jin capital and never set foot here again. From the looks of it, he has never left the Jin capital.”
Brother Jiang more or less knew about the four big families of Jin Jing.
Over the years, although he was not in the Jin capital, he had asked ye Meng to investigate many things about the four families.
Zong Yi, this person, he had some admiration for.
It was not easy for a person to give up glory, power, and the Halo of a family to become an ordinary person.
Lan Xiao’s eyes flickered. She pursed her lips and said in a low voice, ” some people may not value fame and status. They were born in a rich family and have no choice. Sometimes, pursuing one’s own dream seems to be a particularly extravagant thing.
Brother Jiang slowly turned his head and glanced at Lan Xiao.
His heart was moved by her words.
He thought that in this life, he might never meet a second woman who was as smart and intelligent as her, other than Lan Xiao.
To some people, dreams were a very extravagant thing.
He had once been at a loss.
—
Wen Muchu couldn’t stand it any longer. One or two of these B * stards were circling around Lan Xiao.
In particular, the way brother Jiang looked at Lan Xiao made him especially angry.
For an old man to covet Lan Xiao every day, did he have any shame?
Wen Muchu shook off those people who were pestering him and returned to Lan Xiao’s side with a cold face.
He pulled Lan Xiao into his arms and looked at brother Jiang with a smile.
“Brother Jiang is here too? What, you didn’t bring a female companion?”
Brother Jiang held the glass of red wine in his hand. He really wanted to pour the wine on Wen Muchu’s annoying face.
“I didn’t. I think you understand the principle of” better lacking than good.””
Wen Muchu picked up a glass of wine and clinked glasses with brother Jiang.
yes, I understand, Yingying. I really pity brother Jiang.
Brother Jiang chuckled in a low voice and finished the wine in his glass.
Wen Muchu was also speechless.
Lan Xiao was caught between the two men and he only felt a sense of tension, as if a storm was coming.
