“Alright, I'll buy it for you,” Chi Ming suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhen's face turned unexpectedly grim. He stared fixedly at the two individuals. Originally, he had felt indifferent about the dress, but now he had a change of heart.

Shen Qingyue knew that Chi Ming was a person of action, so she did not want him to spend a lot. “No need, I'll buy it myself. Just take it easy for a while.” Chi Ming did not say much.

However, Ling Bing'er wore a mocking expression. “The Shen family is facing both internal and external troubles right now. Do you have money to spend? Don't puff yourself up beyond recognition, as your friend says.”

“Even if I can't steam buns, I'll fight for dignity!” Shen Qingyue intentionally provoked her. “If you dare to put down a million, I'll put down ten million! If you put down ten million, I'll put down a billion. The Shen family has only encountered a minor issue. Which corporation hasn't faced problems before? Can I not afford this amount? But I am curious, how much is Wei Jiu'er worth in Qin Zhen's eyes?” Today, if she did not teach Qin Zhen a lesson, it would be a waste of so much effort. Who asked these people to come to her and seek attention?

Ling Bing'er blustered, “Of course, she's priceless!”

“Really? I don't believe it.” Shen Qingyue looked surprised. “If she's that priceless, how could she be abandoned just for a mere five billion a year ago? If the Qin family had gone bankrupt back then, wouldn't your Ling family have been out on the streets?”

Ling Bing'er choked. She had been jealous of Shen Qingyue her whole life. She did not want to bring up the past again, and her expression grew unpleasant. Wei Jiu'er's face also turned sour.

Ling Bing'er tried to argue, “It wasn't the same back then…”

“Yes, yes, yes, you're right. No need to say more. I already know how much your brother loves Wei Jiu'er. I wish them eternal happiness.” Shen Qingyue lazily interrupted her, smiling innocently, and left directly with Chi Ming and Chen Ying.

Ling Bing'er's impression of Shen Qingyue had long been unchangeable. Shen Qingyue should have tried to please her. She held Qin Zhen's hand and complained, “Big Brother, look at Shen Qingyue's attitude. We owe her…”

Qin Zhen retracted his hand indifferently, saying, “Do you owe her? Without that five billion, the Ling family might not even be able to sleep on the streets.”

Ling Bing'er was directly silenced for a while by his words, the suppressed feeling almost choking her.

Today's business banquet brought many celebrities. As they were all part of the same circle, there were bound to be interactions. Several wealthy young ladies greeted Shen Qingyue and Chen Ying following them. Since they were all girls, Chi Ming did nt accompany them.

He stood off to the side, watching Shen Qingyue's figure the whole time.

“Don't stare. Your eyes are about to pop out,” came a voice from behind Chi Ming.

He turned around and saw Fu Daoyu walking out of the crowd, a sly grin on his face.

Chi Ming did not even flinch. “Why are you here?”

Fu Daoyu chuckled, “One of the models today is my girlfriend.” Chi Ming remarked, “I remember your girlfriend is a painter.”

“That's from ages ago,” Fu Daoyu sneered.

“Does Chu Nan know you've poached his model again?” Chi Ming casually asked.

“Rubbish, what do you mean by 'poached'? That model is just his employee. Alright? Hey, where are you off to?” Fu Daoyu asked.

“Going to talk business with Chu Nan,” Chi Ming tossed out a sentence.

After a while, the group around Shen Qingyue dispersed. Chen Ying kept looking around for Chen Song, but he was nowhere to be seen. She asked, “Qingyue, my brother said he's coming too, how come I haven't seen him? Did you see him?”

“No, maybe you should call him,” Shen Qingyue replied, having also noticed.

After some thought, Chen Ying dialed his number, only to find out that Chen Song was still working at the company. It felt off to her immediately. Originally, due to the incident when Chen Song kissed her, she felt awkward around him. Later, she avoided him for a while, met Wang Anning, fell in love, and let go. She resumed normal contact with Chen Song, but recently, she felt he was acting strangely, as if he was trying to find things for her to do.

Hearing this, Shen Qingyue remained silent on the side. She turned her head away. Well, it was her and Chen Song who joined forces to monopolize Chen Ying's time. She was afraid Chen Ying would go find Wang Anning.

Just then, a waiter approached, saying, “Miss Shen, Mr. Chi invites you to the backstage. Let me show you the way.”

Shen Qingyue looked puzzled. “Did he mention what it's about?” The waiter shook their head. “I don't know. He just asked me to lead you.” Shen Qingyue didn't inquire further. “Chen Ying, come with me.”

Chen Ying chuckled. “Clearly, he only asked for you. Why would I go?”

Shen Qingyue shot her a look, then followed along.. However, as soon as they arrived backstage, they heard a sharp female voice exclaiming, “What do you mean it's sold? The auction hasn't even started, and you've already sold it to someone? Do you think we can't afford a piece of clothing?”
