The middle-aged man had also heard that Xiao Xuetong didn't get along with Bai Xin. "Miss Xiao, are you going to let someone else take this chance? It'll be too late to regret it later on. Mr. Lee is someone who always keeps his word. Once he decides on who the ambassador will be, there will be no changes."

Xiao Xuetong hesitated a bit. What happened to her just now where she got played by Bai Xin had affected her significantly and also made her realize the importance of background. Her heart was conflicted about it. She became even more worried after seeing Bai Xin go look for Mr. Lee.

"Mr. Lee!"

"Mr. Lee is here!"

Along with these exclamations, countless people looked towards the man in a white suit who just walked in.

"Mr. Lee!"

The middle-aged man couldn't bother with Xiao Xuetong anymore and went to greet him as well.

"Little Ke!"

The white-suited man was clearly younger in comparison but still called the other party as 'Little Ke,' acting as if he was higher than him in position. He also had a beautiful girl accompanying him, which was coincidently none other than Long Yingqing. She wore a flame-like red evening dress today which formed a deep contrast with her ice-cold temperament. Her charm had suppressed all the female stars on the scene in an instant.

This Mr. Lee acted arrogantly towards all these people who were flattering and fawning on him, as if he were a king.

"Mr. Lee!"

Long Yingqing didn't say a word when she saw Long Tianyi, but Mr. Lee spoke up, "Tianyi, you've also come!"

Initially, Long Tianyi wasn't planning to come as there were many people from the Long family here already. It was just that Xiao Xuetong's boss had requested him to come over, so he decided to attend the party. After all, this wasn't some major event.

"Mr. Lee, this is my friend, Ms. Bai Xin!"

Mr. Lee took a glance at Bai Xin. She had good looks and a nice figure, but there were many celebs and first-rate female stars from various countries here, so she was just mediocre in comparison to them. Let alone, she couldn't even compare to Mr. Lee's beautiful fiancée.

"Not bad!"

Mr. Lee praised her lightly. Long Tianyi became jubilated, and Bai Xin was also overwhelmed with joy. She knew just what this meant.historical

As for Long Yingqing who stood beside him, she didn't say a word. She was already accustomed to things like these.

"Ms. Xiao, what about you?"

The middle-aged man gazed at Xiao Xuetong. She was younger and pure, there were also no rumors of her being involved in a sex scandal as well. This was one of the reason's he liked her and was even somewhat infatuated with her.

Xiao Xuetong shook her head to refuse decisively!

It was impossible for her to do this!

Mr. Lee entered the venue along with his fiancée just as the auction was also about to begin. Jiang Xiu asked Xiao Xuetong, "Why didn't you go and miss such a good chance?"

Xiao Xuetong said, "There's no free lunch in this world. I know what that person is planning. Even I waver sometimes, but my heart is always conflicted about it."

The middle-aged man felt gloomy when he saw that she had refused his offer and was chatting with Jiang Xiu cordially.

"As today is our RV's anniversary party, we are going to take out a few collections out to sell. Gentlemen, we hope you can show your sincerity towards you ladies!" One of the staff members said humorously.

Following after Mr. Lee, Long Yingqing also took a glass of champagne. Her pair of lifeless eyes suddenly opened wide, as if she was high on drugs. She had finally noticed Jiang Xiu who was donned in rich clothes and chatting with a female star. She shook her head sideways in disbelief, thinking she must be hallucinating, but the Jiang Xiu before her eyes was really there. "It's really that bastard. Why doesn't he just leave me alone!"

Mr. Lee was also keeping tabs on his fiancée. When he noticed Long Yingqing walk towards a man, his expression immediately turned cold. "Who is that brat?"

The people beside him looked at each other, but no one had an answer.

At this time, the members of the Long family also took notice of Jiang Xiu. Long Yingqing's uncle, Long Xiaoru's eyes opened wide, feeling a bad premonition. This brat must've come here to make trouble.

They used Jiang Xiu to create difficulties for Long Yingqing, but if this person really created trouble here, it'd all blow up. Though Long Yingqing won't have a good end, even they wouldn't go scot-free. The partnership between the families would break down as well.

All of the Wang family members became nervous.

"Quickly make someone throw him out."

"Else something bad will happen."

Jiang Xiu had also noticed it. He wasn't expecting to run into the Long family here again.

Only, this time, the Long family was considering him as a star of destruction.

Jiang Xiu wore a smile on his face as he saw Long Xiaoru come over. Xiao Xuetong to his side became a little nervous seeing this man come over. She didn't know him, but she knew anyone who could attend this place wasn't ordinary. They weren't someone a small star like them could offend. She saw him question Jiang Xiu with a gloomy face, "You actually dared to come here. I believed you were an intelligent person but looks like I was wrong."

"Why can't I come here?!" Jiang Xiu questioned back.

"Why?" Long Xiaoru sneered, "Because you aren't qualified to attend this party. What do you think this place is? It's not a place someone like you can wander into. Each person here has a status 10,000 times nobler than yours. Is there a need for you to come here and disgrace yourself?"

Jiang Xiu's expression gradually turned cold.

Long Xiaoru continued speaking, "Let me give you a piece of advice. Best leave from here. Don't make me use force."

"You don't have the power to make me leave."

Long Xiaoru's expression turned grim. Xiao Xuetong's heart became restless as well. According to this man's words, it looked like the reason Jiang Xiu had come here today wasn't so simple. She recalled that the invitation card didn't have his name and this became more anxious.

Long Xiaoru waved towards the black bodyguard standing at a distance. That man came over and asked, "Mr. Long, what do you need?"

"This person sneaked in. His name isn't on the invitation list."

"I suspect he's a thief!"

Since this was a jewelry auction, it'd naturally attract thieves. These words immediately put the bodyguard on alert.

"Mister, please show your invitation card!"

Jiang Xiu knew what Long Xiaoru was anxious about. He was worried that the matter between him and Long Yingqing would leak and out and reach Mr. Lee's ears. They were afraid of this happening but, he, Jiang Luoxia, wasn't willing to let something like this happen to him as well. His arrogance was far above what these people could imagine.

"I threw it away.."

The invitation card was akin to a cinema ticket to him. He naturally threw it away after entering the venue. He didn't have anything on him to keep it inside and felt quite weird holding such a big invitation card.

"Threw it away?"

"Hehe, Mister, your words are a bit difficult to believe."

Long Tianyi and Bai Xin had also noticed the commotion and came over, looking at the scene with interest. Especially, Bai Xin, she was taking joy in the series of developments. She wanted Xiao Xuetong to be driven away from the place. If that happened, she'd definitely become RV's China ambassador.

Xiao Xuetong became nervous, "Mr. Bodyguard. We really had an invitation letter. This Mr. Long and Ms. Bai can act as our witnesses as we came in at the same time."

"Bai Xin, help us explain it!"

"Explain what? I was chatting with Mr. Long then so I didn't notice anything."

Xia Xuetong's eyes opened wide, "You.."

The bodyguard said, "Mister, I'm really sorry. You might be in trouble!" This was a giant man who was 1.9 m tall and appeared quite fierce. He was donned in a black suit and wore shades. He came over with bad intentions, nearing Jiang Xiu so he could handle him.

The intent was clear. If Jiang Xiu didn't match accordingly, he'd take him down.

Xiao Xuetong's face was already pale with worry. If the news of this incident reached back to China, the reporters would make a mess out of the story.

"I'm here to represent Miss Wang Xintong."

"You can go check it at the reception!"

Long Xiaoru said, "Alright. Since you said you're here to represent the Wang family, why are you here?"

"Of course, to buy jewelry!" replied Jiang Xiu.

The auction began at this moment.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, the item being auctioned right now is an 18^th-century crown pendant, an item of the royal court and possessed by the concubine of Gaulle's Emperor.. The starting price is 5 million Euros! Each bid must be at least 500,000 Euros or above."

"Buy it then. If you buy it, we'll believe you. If you can't then don't blame us for acting impolite.."

TN Note:

Hey, guys. Last week was pretty hectic for me as I had to make a trip to the bank several times. The stress left me very exhausted to work on translating chapters. Though I announced it to a few on the discord, I wasn't able to do it on the site or on Patreon. I apologize for the lack of contact.

I really urge you to join the discord at -

Sometimes, I'm unable to respond to the comments on the site or Patreon due to irl circumstances, but you'll definitely be able to reach out to me on Discord. After all, communication is key. There were cancerous comments on the site when I finally got the time yesterday to sit down and translate all the chapters due, which I was somehow able to complete though all the negativity left me in a bad taste. Thank you to those who are concerned for me. My health is a lot better now. It was just other circumstances which left me unable to translate. I could've deleted the comments or called out to those who show no civility and curse as they wish but I didn't bother to as it's just a waste of my time and theirs, arguing with them weren't going to get chapters done.

I just released 14 chapters which cover the 13 chapters due and also start this week's release.
