Chapter 450: Chapter 0450: Qiu Ruoxi Has a Deep Relationship with the Xie Family
The charity gala hosted by the Xie family took place in a five-star vacation hotel.
Qiu Ruoxi had learned that the Xie family was one of the four major families in Zhonghai Province, with immense strength, so naturally, this charity auction would invite many people, whose social status need not be mentioned.
Moreover, the gala was so grand that an overly bustling location would hardly be suitable, hence a vacation hotel was naturally the best choice.
After learning that the event was hosted by the Xie family, Ye Xunhuan didn’t say much more but began to ponder upon the Xie family!
Being able to bring out He Luo for auction but not having the air of an ordinary person!
Besides, how did He Luo end up with the Xie family?
And why was the auction held by the Xie family?
All of it was a mystery.
Inside the resort, the lights were bright, illuminating the night as though it were day.
After entering the resort, Ye Xunhuan parked the car in a spacious parking lot.
At this moment, the parking spots were mostly taken up by a variety of luxury cars, and the Mercedes driven by Ye Xunhuan, courtesy of Qiu Ruoxi, would be considered luxurious to the average person, but here, it was completely inconspicuous.
After getting out of the car, Ye Xunhuan saw dozens of burly men patrolling the parking lot nonstop, and within the entire resort, there were all sorts of hidden sentinels, saying there was a post every three steps and a sentry every five wouldn’t be an exaggeration!
This demonstrated how much importance the Xie family placed on the auction.
"When we enter the venue later, don’t cause any trouble," Qiu Ruoxi warned Ye Xunhuan.
"Am I the kind of person who likes to stir up trouble?"
"What do you think?"
Ye Xunhuan’s mouth twitched slightly, not knowing what to say.
The summer evening breeze wasn’t cold on the skin but rather comfortable.
"Come on, wife!"
Ye Xunhuan then offered his arm, smiling at Qiu Ruoxi.
"What for?"
"Stop pretending, you asked me to come as a chauffeur, but really you want me to be your arm candy," Ye Xunhuan said with a chuckle.
"Don’t flatter yourself!"
Saying this, Qiu Ruoxi snorted coldly and headed straight for the venue.
Ye Xunhuan’s face darkened, Damn, was he really just here to be the chauffeur? But then why bother preparing a formal suit for him?
Women, oh women, it’s truly difficult for a man to understand what you really want to do.
Then, Ye Xunhuan followed Qiu Ruoxi into the venue.
As soon as Qiu Ruoxi entered the venue, like a powerful magnet, she attracted almost everyone’s gaze; men’s infatuation mixed with women’s envy, jealousy, and hatred made for a stark contrast!
But then, upon seeing Ye Xunhuan following Qiu Ruoxi, many guests’ faces revealed a look of confusion!
Who is this?
Why did he come with Qiu Ruoxi?
Was he a guest invited by the Xie family?
But he seemed so unfamiliar—could it be he was a young master from the south or the north?
Just then, a middle-aged man wearing a Zhongshan suit and sporting a goatee approached Qiu Ruoxi with a smile all over his face!
The man’s hearty laughter echoed around!
"Niece Ruoxi, you haven’t come to see your Uncle Xie for such a long time; don’t you want to deal with your Uncle Xie anymore?"
Ye Xunhuan, standing beside Qiu Ruoxi, was taken aback.
Qiu Ruoxi knows the Xie family people?
And it seems like they have a deep relationship, why didn’t this woman tell me.
"Uncle Xie is taking it too seriously, Ruoxi has been really busy lately, so she couldn’t come, I hope you won’t mind such a trifle with my younger self!"
"I heard a few days ago that you were sick, hospitalized, are you okay now?" Xie Mingjiang asked with a face full of concern, "I actually wanted to visit you, but Uncle Xie here had a bunch of annoying issues to deal with, so I thought to visit in a couple of days, but then I heard that you were discharged, you can’t tell Shuihan about this, otherwise, he would definitely blame me for not taking good care of his daughter!"
"Thank you for your concern, Uncle Xie!" Qiu Ruoxi said very politely, "It was just a minor illness, already no harm done!"
"That’s good, that’s good!" Xie Mingjiang said, full of relief, "Young people need to take good care of their health, don’t think being young is your capital!"
Qiu Ruoxi smiled and didn’t say anything.
Afterward, Xie Mingjiang’s gaze fell on Ye Xunhuan, "Ruoxi, this must be Ye Xunhuan, right?"
Qiu Ruoxi nodded, seemingly acknowledging.
Ye Xunhuan, on the other hand, looked at Xie Mingjiang with a slight surprise, how does this guy know me?
"Excellent, excellent, Shuihan and Yu Tong have good eyesight," Xie Mingjiang said with a beaming smile, looking at Ye Xunhuan, his words carrying a deeper meaning.
"Xunhuan, this is Uncle Xie, the Family Head of the Xie family!"
Ye Xunhuan chuckled and said, "Hello, Uncle Xie, I didn’t expect you to know someone like me!"
Xie Mingjiang said with a gentle face, "Of course I know of you; you have been quite famous lately, a lot of people have been discussing you!"
Ye Xunhuan gave a sheepish smile, he certainly knew what Xie Mingjiang was referring to, which was nothing other than the affairs between him, Dongfang Shu, and Qi Shijie.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Xie Mingjiang excused himself to attend to other guests.
When Xie Mingjiang left, Ye Xunhuan couldn’t help but ask Qiu Ruoxi, "Wife, you seem quite close with the Xie family?"
"Not close!"
"But I think he seemed very familiar with you!"
"Old generation stuff!"
"Our dad and him are close?"
"Right!"
"Why didn’t you tell me?"
"You didn’t ask!"
Ye Xunhuan’s mouth twitched involuntarily, f*ck, how the hell would I know about all these things?
Just as Ye Xunhuan was about to say something, Qiu Ruoxi’s voice came out, "Whatever you want to ask, we can talk about it when we go back. Remember, don’t cause trouble here!"
After hearing Qiu Ruoxi’s words, Ye Xunhuan had to swallow the words that had reached the tip of his tongue back down.
Xie Mingjiang and Qiu Shuihan knew each other, and from Xie Mingjiang’s attitude toward Qiu Ruoxi, it seemed that Xie Mingjiang’s relationship with Qiu Shuihan was not ordinary, but Qiu Ruoxi seemed rather indifferent to Xie Mingjiang.
What’s the hidden story here?
Although Ye Xunhuan was very curious, since Qiu Ruoxi had spoken and was not allowing him to ask now, he had to suppress his full belly of doubts and wait until the party was over to ask.
Like a radiant moon, Qiu Ruoxi became the focus of the evening in a mere moment, as numerous gazes stayed on her.
Qiu Ruoxi seemed already accustomed to this kind of attention, completely unbothered, took the champagne humbly offered by a waiter, and headed toward the center of the venue.
Ye Xunhuan felt a bit proud but also uncomfortable, these men’s gazes at Qiu Ruoxi were full of aggressiveness, as if they wanted to strip her clothes off with their eyes!
In front of the dazzling, radiant Qiu Ruoxi, soon several well-dressed, handsome young men with good backgrounds and considerable wealth approached her.
But just then, the sound of high heels clacking suddenly came from the entrance, drawing the attention of many.
Heads turned towards the door.
The next moment, a figure clad in seductive red entered everyone’s line of sight.
