Chapter 36: Is the Second Miss possessed by evil spirits?
Outside the window, the rain has stopped.
Su Ti folded her suit, pushed the door open and got out of the car.
I walked around the front of the car and looked back into the car with the windows lowered.
The man sat upright and leisurely, his eyes never leaving her.
After a while, he opened his mouth, his voice inexplicably affectionate, "Come in. If you want to talk, it's not too late to talk tonight."
This sentence means that he will definitely attend the evening shoot tonight.
Su Ti nodded, put her hands behind her back, took two steps back, turned around and walked in.
Rong Shaoting glanced at her figure with a long and far-reaching gaze.
In my 29 years of life, this is the first time that I have changed my itinerary several times on a whim just for a girl.
In ancient times, King You of Zhou played tricks on the princes by setting fire to the beacon towers.
His behavior today is no different.
The driver came to the car door and asked, "Mr. Rong, are you coming back now?"
The driver is Lin Cong's assistant.
Only after seeing Su Ti walking away did he dare to step forward and ask.
The driver has been with Lin Cong for many years, so he naturally has had a lot of contact with Rong Shao Ting.
In my impression, Mr. Rong is a true gentleman, but also very indifferent.
Being a gentleman is his standard in dealing with people.
But indifference is our nature.
Such a gentlemanly and polite but actually indifferent and cold man actually spoke politely to a girl he met on the street.
It is undeniable that Miss Su is extremely beautiful, with a delicate and pretty face.
No wonder the prominent Mr. Rong could condescend to treat me differently.
Rong Shaoting put out his cigarette and calmly told the driver to go home.
In front of Villa No. 52, Lin Cong leaned against the porch column and smoked.
Looking at the man getting off the car, he said mischievously, "How far is it? Do you still need to take me back with you?"
Rong Shaoting walked up the stairs with his suit in one hand and glanced at him calmly, "Is the matter settled?"
Speaking of this, Lin Cong changed the subject and said, "I just received word from Xiangcheng that I found something interesting."
As they talked, they walked into the living room, and the man asked, "What's going on?"
Lin Cong said with great interest: "The man surnamed Xie has a mistress outside. I heard that he loves her very much and often takes her around and won't let anyone see her."
Rong Shaoting sat down, lit a cigarette, and frowned, showing disapproval, "You are becoming more and more promising."
"As the old saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy." Lin Cong put his legs on the coffee table. "He relied on his father's reputation to compete with me for the ecological park project. I have to find out his background and prevent him from jumping into danger."
Lin Congjian took an unconventional approach, but Rong Shaoting did not agree with it.
But Lin Cong was always aggressive in his actions, so the man just reminded him: "It's hard for a powerful dragon to suppress a local snake. The economic environment in the mainland is very different from that in Hong Kong. Don't act on impulse."
Lin Cong: "Yes, I know it."
……
On the other side, Su Ti returned to the Jiang family. The careless elders were still drinking tea and chatting, and did not notice that Su Ti had been out for a long time before coming back.
Entered the guest room.
Su Ti went to the bathroom to take a bath first. As the hot water washed away the moisture from her body, she felt much more comfortable.
After washing, she wrapped herself in a bathrobe and stood in front of the mirror.
After applying the skin care products and wiping her long hair, she suddenly stopped.
Su Ti looked at the top of her head and unconsciously pushed a few strands of hair off from the left side of her forehead.
After a brief pause, she imitated Rong Shaoting's method and slowly tucked her hair behind her ears.
Then get it down and don't go back.
The process includes kneading the top of the head.
Back and forth several times, as if possessed by a demon.
It was not until Suti realized what she was doing that she felt annoyed and couldn't help laughing.
The next second, the maid, Mrs. Liu, who was standing at the door, holding a tray in one hand and turning the door handle with the other, asked in a trembling voice, "Second Miss, are you okay?"
The smile on Suti's lips froze instantly.
Mrs. Liu came in with afternoon tea, her face full of worry.
Could it be that the second young lady has been possessed by evil spirits?
Su Ti smiled in an awkward manner, "No, it's okay, I'm... designing my hair."
Mrs. Liu didn't believe it.
I became more and more convinced that she was possessed by evil spirits and was abnormal.
He put down the tray and said in a serious tone, "Second Miss, there is a Tin Hau Temple in the southeast of Repulse Bay. It is quite spiritual. Let the young master take you there to worship when you are free."
Su Ti: “…” That’s totally off the mark.
……
Half past five in the evening.
Jiang Chen returned slowly.
Su Ti asked him where he had been, but the second-generation rich man hesitated and refused to say. He deliberately changed the subject and urged her to change her clothes and go out.
Su Ti was suspicious, she sniffed and found that Jiang Chen smelled strongly of cigarette smoke.
It was not the faint smell of tobacco like Rong Shaoting's, but rather a strong and choking smell that made breathing uncomfortable.
Su Ti said with a stern face, "Don't play around, or else your uncle will have to clean up after you if something happens."
This second-generation rich guy never does his job properly and is good at eating, drinking and having fun.
Jiang Chen begged for mercy with a playful smile, "Don't worry, cousin, I'm doing something important, I'm definitely not playing around."
Before six o'clock, the two of them were dressed and ready to go out to the evening photo shoot.
The two little ones have been close since they were young, and it is common for them to go out and play together.
The elders on both sides naturally did not stop them, but only told them to come back early.
Only Father Su said something unpleasant, "Don't just think about yourself, Qin Yi is still in the hotel, take him with you when you have time."
Without waiting for Su Ti to respond, Su's mother stepped hard on Su's father under the table and warned him with her eyes to stop talking nonsense.
Su Ti took the opportunity to take Jiang Chen away.
Six forty.
Wan Chai Convention and Exhibition Centre.
When Jiang Chen arrived in that flashy sports car, there was an endless stream of luxury cars in front of the door.
The official announcement is that the evening auction will take place at 7 o'clock sharp.
The exhibition hall of the exhibition center is filled with collections to be auctioned tonight.
Before the shooting started, the Asia-Pacific director and regional vice president and others gave presentations in each exhibition area.
Su Ti and Jiang Chen arrived a little late.
The exhibition area was crowded with people.
Nearing seven o'clock, everyone moved to the auction hall and the evening auction started as scheduled.
For the first twenty minutes, Suti sat in the front row and watched with great interest.
During this period, Jiang Chen raised his sign several times, but how could the spare money in the pocket of a second-generation rich man be compared with that of a real Hong Kong businessman.
Due to the financial gap, even the most desirable items will have to be given up.
As for Su Ti, the few coins in her pocket sometimes couldn't even cover the starting price.
They dare not even raise the sign easily and embarrass themselves.
Auctions are a game where the wealthy spend money lavishly, and money is just a numerical symbol here.
Before we knew it, more than a dozen lots had been sold in the past forty minutes.
Suti went from being very interested in the show at the beginning to gradually becoming distracted.
Rong Shaoting hasn't come yet.
I wanted to send him a message several times, but the screen was unlocked, so I finally gave up the idea.
Another twenty minutes passed.
Suti turned around and looked around from time to time.
The overly frequent movements caught Jiang Chen's attention: "What's wrong? Is there a nail on the chair?"
Suti ignored him.
She just wanted to see if Rong Shaoting had already arrived and was not sitting in the front row.
There were no seats left next to her and Jiang Chen; the seats were already full.
If Rong Shaoting came, he might have sat in the back.
Just as I was thinking about it, the person on my left answered a phone call, then bent over and left the scene.
Su Ti tilted her head and saw that the name of the seat was not Rong Shaoting.
He curled his lips in dismay and took out his phone again, intending to send a message to ask.
The message is edited and ready to be sent.
At this time, there was movement from the left again.
Suti glanced casually and first saw the shiny handmade Italian leather shoes.
Going further up, there are the textured black trousers, the classic retro black shirt, and the proud and broad shoulders that I have seen countless times.
Su Ti raised her eyes slightly, and their eyes met unexpectedly.
When I was surprised, I whispered: "I thought you were not coming."
The tone was slightly emotional, and honorifics were omitted.
"No." Rong Shaoting raised his thin lips and whispered to her, "I promised you, I will do it."
Jiang Chen, who was standing next to her, noticed that Su Ti was whispering to the man sitting next to her.
Adhering to the central idea of the cousin protecting his cousin, he pulled Su Ti's arm and said, "Do you know each other? What are you talking about?"
After he finished speaking, Jiang Chen looked over with a tense face and was immediately stunned, "Rong, Rong..."
After being proud for a long time, he didn't dare to do anything rash.
Jiang Chen put down his crossed legs, put on his best smile, and rubbed his palms on his trousers twice.
Then, he bent over Su Ti and stretched out his right hand towards the man: "Mr. Rong, hello, hello, hello..."
