Chapter 123 I laugh at you for having dog eyes, I laugh at your 4.0 eyesight.

"Ling Yue! You aren't being much of a friend!"

As soon as Xun Ji caught up, he started complaining, "And here I was thinking about shielding you so you wouldn't be discovered! You actually bit the hand that fed you. I only eavesdropped because I saw you doing it first!"

Ling Yue looked completely unbothered, "We both eavesdropped, what does it matter who started first?"

"You're something else." Xun Ji had nothing more to say.

Ling Yue adjusted her dress, "Thanks for the compliment."

Xun Ji was angry for three seconds, then, after thinking something over in his mind, he compromised, "Can you really not say a word to You Mingzhi?"

Sigh, here we go again.

Wasn't the gossip just now enough to distract you?

"How about this: in the future, when rare cars arrive at the club, I'll have You Mingzhi notify you first. Except for a few specific models, you'll have priority test-drive rights. This is a privilege I'm granting as the boss, to repay the favor of you introducing me to the club earlier.

Other than that, I will absolutely not interfere with the management."

"That works too!" Xun Ji agreed happily.

You Mingzhi's goal was to collect every car model in the world, so even just having test-drive rights was pretty awesome!

Just as Xun Ji was secretly pleased with himself, he ran into Lin Poluo head-on.

The guy scanned Xun Ji with a malicious look.

Then he darted forward, shoved Xun Ji aside with his hip, and leaned in close to Ling Yue, "What did you just promise him?"

Ling Yue frowned, "You two are so annoying."

"None of your business!" After steadying himself, Xun Ji stepped forward quickly, trying to pull Lin Poluo away.

Lin Poluo pushed back against Xun Ji, "I'm talking to Ling Yue, why are you barking like a dog!"

Xun Ji: "If you didn't bark first, would Grandpa here have to train you?"

Lin Poluo: "My grandfather is already dead. Are you trying to get me to prepare a coffin for you by calling yourself my grandfather?"

Xun Ji: "Thanks for the grandson's kind intentions, but your new grandfather will live a long time."

Lin Poluo: "I don't think so, you look like you're going to have a short life."

Xun Ji: "Not as much as you. You look like you're both short-lived and have a kidney deficiency. You must have gone out stealing dogs last night, your dark circles are so heavy."

Lin Poluo: "You!"

Xun Ji wore a triumphant sneer and was about to pull Ling Yue away, but when he turned around, he found—where was Ling Yue?

There was no one behind him...

Taking advantage of their bickering, Ling Yue had already taken her people and detoured along another path to the banquet hall.

The banquet hall was by the water, a unique glass building constructed on the lakeside, bordered by a large lawn.

She signed in at the entrance.

Led by a waiter, Ling Yue walked through a transparent corridor and arrived at the actual entrance of the banquet hall.

The entire banquet hall was spacious and bright, featuring various lounge areas, freshly supplied drinks and desserts, and a gift registration desk piled with flowers.

As soon as Ling Yue entered, a dignified and elegant middle-aged woman walked over with a smile.

The middle-aged woman stared at Ling Yue's face for a moment but still couldn't recall who she was.

Ling Yue introduced herself, "Hello, Aunt Xu, I'm Ling Yue."

The middle-aged woman put on an expression of 'I finally remembered,' "So you're Ling Yue! I've heard my Uncle Kan and Jia Shu mention you."

Ling Yue smiled, "Happy birthday, Aunt Xu."

Xu Wenyan reached out and gave Ling Yue a light hug, "Thank you, I'm very happy you could come."

"When you visited our home last time, I happened to be away on a business trip, but I still benefited. The wild fishing spot you recommended to Uncle Kan—he's been going almost every day lately. Our family has been eating fish for two weeks straight, and now I feel sick just looking at a fish."

Although Xu Wenyan looked thoroughly fed up, she didn't mean any blame; she was clearly joking with Ling Yue.

Ling Yue boldly suggested, "Then you should cook the dishes you like to eat every day too, and let Uncle Kan eat them for two weeks until he gets tired of them."

"Good idea!" Xu Wenyan looked at Ling Yue closely, a faint appreciation appearing in her eyes.

Regarding Ling Yue, the Kan Family had conducted an analysis. Mysterious background, abundant assets, little exposure to business, investment style is arbitrary, and methods are like a novice. Collaborating with Jia Shu, the purpose is to establish a connection with his family's investment company. No habit of speaking only three parts truth and seven parts lies, getting along with her is quite easy. Paid for an 1.8 billion estate in full, sufficient cash flow, friendship coefficient: ★★★★★

Seeing her today, the young girl had clear eyes, a lively personality, was not stage-frightened, and looked well-behaved. Xu Wenyan's first impression of Ling Yue was very good.

"Aunt, this is a piece of Su Embroidery I bought from an old embroiderer when I went to Suzhou a while ago. It's a birthday gift for you."

As soon as Ling Yue finished speaking, Cheng Jiao stepped forward carrying a box and presented the gift.

This cat painting was something Ling Yue had spent 300,000 to buy from Luo Chunfeng. It was perfect for a gift.

If it weren't for the fact that she had already signed Luo Chunfeng and could have her embroider more cat paintings in the future, Ling Yue would absolutely not have been willing to give this away as a gift.

"You've gone to such expense. When I was young, I actually studied embroidery for a while, but I learned Xiang Embroidery, and only learned the basics. The embroidery trade is very hard, and I have always respected artisans. Your gift has really touched my heart." Xu Wenyan's attitude toward Ling Yue became even warmer.

"What a coincidence, the gift I brought today is also Su Embroidery." Someone spoke up suddenly.

Ling Yue turned to look. The speaker was a middle-aged woman dressed in a wealthy manner. She looked to be about the same age as Xu Wenyan.

Out of politeness, Ling Yue nodded at the other person, just as a greeting.

Unexpectedly, the other person ignored her completely, and even shoved Ling Yue's shoulder hard, pushing her to the side.

"Happy birthday, cousin. The Su Embroidery I brought you is from a master's hand and has great collection value. Ordinary people can't even buy it if they want to. It's not like those works collected from private individuals." The wealthy woman's attitude was arrogant.

When she said the four words 'master's hand,' she glanced behind her with disdain.

Ling Yue: "I didn't provoke anyone, did I?"

If it were a birthday for a truly respected elder where no interests were involved, she would just endure this insult and take revenge after the banquet ended. But her relationship with the Kan Family involved interests that outweighed genuine affection.

If she suffered insults at the Kan Family's banquet, she might as well just act like a quail and hole up at home, never going out again.

"Heh." Ling Yue let out a cold laugh.

Sure enough, her mocking laughter made the other woman bristle, "What are you laughing at?"

The wealthy woman turned back to question her.

Ling Yue raised her eyes to look at her and said, word for word, "Laughing at you for having dog eyes, laughing at your 4.0 vision. There's such a wide path beside us, yet you choose not to walk on it and insist on bumping into me. If your limbs aren't coordinated, go see a doctor as soon as possible."
