Chapter 80: Chapter 80 Boredom

"Boring!"

Lin Yue spat out the two words, treating Su Nan as if he didn’t exist.

Su Nan sighed, "I knew staying at home would be delightful!"

"Hmph, you’ll die by a woman’s hands sooner or later," Lin Yue poured cold water on him.

"Get lost..." Su Nan rolled his eyes at him. Just mentioning "Jingrou sister" warranted such a curse?

Speaking, Su Nan reluctantly stood up and walked over to Bao Shaojin.

"Big brother, what are you looking at so intently?" Su Nan’s interest was piqued, and his eyes darted around the banquet hall, hoping to catch some gossip. After all, it’s a rare chance to encounter gossip about his big brother.

Bao Shaojin’s cold eyes remained silent for a long time.

Feeling unwelcome, Su Nan shook his head and strolled out through the side door.

What bad luck, all his friends act abnormally!

The outside hall felt more comfortable.

In the corner, Bao Cheng’s smile gradually faded as he urged, "Are you okay? We need to meet my brother."

An Yin’s heart tightened when Bao Cheng mentioned Bao Shaojin’s name. She sniffled, ignoring the strong aroma in the air.

"Let’s go," An Yin said apologetically.

At that moment, she was dressed in a casual outfit with a bulging small backpack, looking out of place in the bustling crowd.

After all, every woman present was dressed to the nines, exuding a bewitching charm with every move.

Noticing the difference between herself and the others, An Yin felt awkward. She lowered her head and followed Bao Cheng, walking slowly.

Occasionally hearing Bao Cheng warmly greet others, she really didn’t want to engage in small talk, so she remained silent.

A meter away, Su Nan was holding a glass of whiskey, watching the standout scenery in the crowd with interest.

The young girl seemed out of place alongside the women here, yet she was trailing Bao Cheng, making it easy to guess she was probably Bao Cheng’s new favorite! Su Nan felt a touch of regret.

He’s always liked the mature type, seductive yet classy, even maintaining dignity after parting.

Young girls, once in love, are too difficult to handle!

If it were the fairy-like beauty in front of him, Su Nan suddenly felt some interest.

But alas, the young lady already belonged to someone!

He’s not about to steal a woman from his friend’s cousin. Su Nan’s gaze reluctantly shifted away from the girl, continuing his hunt for tonight’s target.

"Young Master Su..." Just as Su Nan was looking ahead, a pair of delicate white hands rested on his shoulder, followed by a sweet and charming voice.

Su Nan put down his glass, a seductive smile played at the corner of his lips. As he turned, he met a pair of flirtatious eyes.

Bao Cheng approached the waiter, "Where is Mr. Bao?"

The waiter responded, "Please follow me."

Bao Cheng thought the waiter would lead him directly to Bao Shaojin, but unexpectedly, he was just taken to a quiet room that seemed like a reception room, empty inside.

Then Uncle Wu came in.

Upon seeing Bao Cheng, he respectfully said, "Please wait a moment." After that, Uncle Wu exited through the side door.

An Yin felt incredibly ignorant.

How could an ordinary-looking room have a hidden door?

Bao Cheng and An Yin both stood, neither taking a seat. Bao Cheng, filled with emotion, sensed his cousin was about to give him some tips.

An Yin had simple thoughts. Since Bao Cheng didn’t dare sit, she would just stand as well!

In just a few minutes, Bao Shaojin appeared with measured steps.

"Brother, happy birthday!" Bao Cheng’s eyes lit up the moment he saw Bao Shaojin. His words were tinged with excitement.

"Hmm."

In contrast to Bao Cheng’s warm greeting, Bao Shaojin’s demeanor was very cold.

"Here’s my gift." Bao Cheng took out a delicate small gift box, although it was unclear when he took it from his pocket.

Bao Shaojin didn’t reach for it; instead, Uncle Wu, standing by, stepped forward to accept the gift from Bao Cheng with a "Thank you!"

Bao Cheng, "..."

This was a piece of Rough Jade he had specially ordered from abroad, quite expensive. He had inquired about Bao Shaojin’s preferences through family members and learned that his cousin was always quite aloof to people and matters, with no particular likes or dislikes. His interests, if any, only went as far as occasionally collecting some Rough Jades.

After that talk with his parents, Bao Cheng remembered it, so he bought a piece of Rough Jade, only to find that the other party didn’t even look at it, merely asking a butler to keep it.

Despite feeling dissatisfied, Bao Cheng dared not show it.

An Yin, standing by, never spoke.

Until she sensed his gaze on her, she stammered, "Sh-Shaojin brother!" It had been so long since she called him that, An Yin found it awkward, even her voice came out in bits and pieces.

As she mumbled, Bao Shaojin’s expression remained indifferent, making it hard to read his thoughts.

But Uncle Wu’s eyes showed a slight change. Seeing Mr. Bao’s indifferent look seemed like tacit acceptance of the girl’s address. In that instant, Uncle Wu sensed a certain peculiarity.

Mr. Bao seemed to have a different attitude toward this young girl!

"Grandma said you were thinking of starting a company recently?" Bao Shaojin looked down, then sat on the nearby soft chair.

He exuded a natural commanding presence, simply sitting there, yet it made people feel an involuntary sense of awe.

"I had that idea," Bao Cheng replied nervously.

Sure enough, Grandma had told his cousin about his idea. Bao Cheng’s heart leapt with joy, further confirming his previous guess.

"You can get to know Director Li in the billiard room." Bao Shaojin suddenly left this remark.

Having grown up in a merchant family, how could Bao Cheng not understand the underlying meaning in Bao Shaojin’s words?

Ecstatic, Bao Cheng looked at his cousin, "Brother, can I then..." Just as he was about to move forward, he saw An Yin looking at him eagerly, feeling a bit embarrassed since discussions among men weren’t suitable in front of An Yin.

Caught in a dilemma, Bao Shaojin’s gaze grew colder.

From Bao Shaojin’s perspective, it seemed like Bao Cheng and An Yin were exchanging a longing, farewell look.

"What’s the sense in taking a young girl along, go alone!" Bao Shaojin instructed, and Bao Cheng dared not disobey.

"Okay, brother!"

Bao Cheng, feeling guilty, lowered his head, avoiding An Yin’s pleading eyes, and left. In his mind, with his cousin there, An Yin would naturally not be bullied!

In the reception room.

Only three people remained.

Uncle Wu, having lived half a life and grown shrewd, couldn’t fail to see that Mr. Bao purposely sent the person away.

Uncle Wu was startled! What did keeping Bao Cheng’s girlfriend behind mean?

To admonish her? To warn the girl not to covet Master Bao Cheng’s wealth?

Impossible, how could the Bao Family care about such a little money?
