189 Backing
He Wei blurted out the name without hesitation. “Jing Yan, I don’t have any scandals with anyone else.”
Chong Wei said in a relaxed tone, “We have the same idea. The Jing family has the power to help you regain your popularity. And I heard that Jing Yan will attend an auction next Monday. I will arrange for you to enter. Do you know what to do?”
“I understand.”
After He Wei hung up the phone, she looked at her mother with a face full of joy. “Mom, the chance is here.”
“You and Jing Yan?” Zhong Fei was also surprised and said, “It just so happens that He Miao and Jing Yan broke off their engagement a long time ago, so no one will say anything about your engagement with Jing Yan.”
He Wei, on the other hand, looked at the tea leaves floating up and down in her teacup with a dark expression. She suddenly raised her hand and poured the tea into the trash can. A hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes. “He Miao, she’s been very close to Jing Yan recently. I suspect that Jing Yan helped her in the dark last time. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to gather all the evidence in such a short time.”
Zhong Fei did not think too deeply about it at all. When she heard her daughter say this, she suddenly woke up. “Don’t tell me they’re in a relationship? Weiwei, you’re obviously much more outstanding than He Miao. Why should Jing Yan choose that little b*tch over you?”
“I don’t know.” He Wei closed her eyes. She had thought that Jing Yan was only biased towards He Miao because of Old Master Jing, but she did not expect him to go to this extent for her. She could not help but raise her guard.
She had to make good use of this auction to get close to Jing Yan. Even if she could not make him fall in love with her, she had to make him change his attitude towards her. Otherwise, she would always lose to He Miao.
Time flew by and it was Monday afternoon. He Wei was dressed exquisitely and wore a dress that she had custom-made out of her own pocket to attend the auction.
Among the crowd, only her appearance was the most outstanding. Many distinguished guests looked at her with wanton eyes.
Although He Wei worked in public all year round, this kind of naked gaze still made her feel uncomfortable.
She looked around and glanced at everyone’s face as if nothing had happened. When she saw someone familiar, she would smile and nod to greet them. However, after looking around, she did not see Jing Yan.
It was not until the auction was about to start and she had no choice but to take a seat that Jing Yan finally arrived.
He Wei’s heart was filled with joy. She walked over to him and stood in front of him with a sweet smile on her face. “Jing Yan, I have something to say to you. Can I sit with you later?”
“Not good.” Jing Yan was about to leave without even looking at her when He Wei blocked his way. Outsiders thought that the two of them were whispering something at the door, and many media cameras were aimed at them. They did not expect that the person He Wei had been waiting for so long was Jing Yan.
The news was too explosive, but they did not dare to release any news about Jing Yan. They could only nervously take the photos and wait for their leader’s instructions.
“Get out of the way.” Jing Yan frowned impatiently and did not want to talk to her anymore.
He Wei’s hands, which were by her sides, clenched her skirt tightly. An apologetic smile spread across her face. “I really have something to say to you. It’s about He Miao.”
“What the h*ll are you doing now?” Jing Yan looked up at the reporters and frowned in frustration. “I’m warning you, don’t do anything to He Miao again, or I’ll make sure you disappear from the entertainment industry.”
He Wei’s face was filled with awkwardness, but she knew that the cameras was behind her, so she could only pretend to be happy and smile. “You’ve misunderstood. I really have something to tell you. I’ll wait for you in the lounge after the auction. I won’t do anything to you, and I won’t do anything to Miaomiao either.”
Then, without waiting for Jing Yan’s reply, she walked away.
As long as she sat back in her seat, the media would not guess that she was deliberately sticking to Jing Yan. Otherwise, if the media caught Jing Yan walking away impatiently, her future would be over, and she would become a laughingstock in the entertainment industry.
Jing Yan looked away in disgust, walked to the first row, and sat down. He did not look at her again.
The auction officially began. Jing Yan looked at the items being auctioned off one by one on the stage with a lack of interest. He only raised his eyes slightly when it came to the dark blue diamond that was the final item.
The purpose of coming to this auction was to spend money. This kind of auction had a certain charitable nature and would bring a positive image to the company. However, Jing Yan wanted to spend money in a more meaningful way, and this diamond was his purpose tonight.
The dark blue diamond was exquisite and clear, and the step-cut bright blue diamond suited He Miao’s cold and mesmerizing temperament. He wanted to buy it for her and make her happy.
The starting price of the gemstone was 10 million. Most of the bidders were rich ladies who liked to collect all kinds of diamonds, and this blue diamond was a rare treasure in the world.
The bidding soon began. He Wei looked nervously at Jing Yan, who was standing far away. She did not feel relieved until she saw him raise his sign.
