The Indifferent Young Master’s Flash Marriage - Chapter 248
Chapter 248: I’m A Man Of Principle
Lu Qingyu sat on the velvet sofa calmly. His light-colored shirt had two buttons opened and his neck had a clear red lip print.
It should have been a picture of indolence but because of Lu Qingyu’s still-injured left leg, it looked a little awkward.
Lu Qingyu caressed the cheek of the girl in his embrace. His seductive amorous eyes curved upward and he looked a little ruffian-like.
“Siren, do you think that irrelevant person the young master mentioned is me or you?”
The girl in Lu Qingyu’s embrace was the popular celebrity, Ye Siren. She half-lowered her head at first but upon hearing this teasing question by Lu Qingyu, she slowly raised her head.
“Mr. Lu, you’re laughing at me again.”
As Ye Siren spoke, she looked at the door. Just one glance was enough to send her into a daze.
The man at the door was wearing a black shirt with a unique cut. He exuded an air of elegance and coldness. He was so flawless, he looked like a god walking out of a picture, giving one an urge to worship him.
Ye Siren had only seen Jiang Xuecheng from far during the Beitong celebration dinner and had not had the opportunity to examine him from up close like today.
Even a person who had seen good-looking men and women in the entertainment industry like Ye Siren had to admit that Jiang Xuecheng was the best-looking person she had ever seen.
It wasn’t just about the look but more so the kind of noble temperament from within.
Ye Siren couldn’t help tidying her hair and quickly stood up from Lu Qingyu’s embrace. She bowed slightly at Jiang Xuecheng.
“Hello Young Master, I won’t disturb you and Mr. Lu.”
Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes moved and landed on Ye Siren for a moment.
Ye Siren’s heart skipped a beat when Jiang Xuecheng looked at her. She gaped and asked softly, “What can I do for you, Young Master?”
Although Ye Siren was not a celebrity under Di Chen Group, she was cooperating with Phoenix Entertainment and Media Company. Thus, Jiang Xuecheng was an investor she could not afford to provoke.
Jiang Xuecheng looked at her from above. His dark eyes casted a shadow, making one unable to guess what he was thinking.
“Before the broadcast of Nirvana of Phoenix, I hope you can behave yourself.”
His low and magnetic voice had a certain aura of fear. Instantly, it weighed against her heart. Jiang Xuecheng had not said anything too heavy but to Ye Siren, she felt she couldn’t breathe.
Was the young master hinting that she should not be involved in gossip at this time?
Ye Siren felt uncomfortable. She looked down awkwardly. Her smile was still elegant, “Please do not worry, Young Master, I’ll remember your advice.”
As she spoke, she walked hastily toward the door.
Jiang Xuecheng closed the door of the room. He sat down calmly on a chair opposite Lu Qingyu.
Lu Qingyu witnessed the scene of Jiang Xuecheng lecturing Ye Siren and couldn’t help exclaiming, “I say, Young Master, you’re not good at being tender towards women. You almost made her cry. Moreover, she isn’t your company’s artiste, why do you care about how she behaves?”
Jiang Xuecheng darted Lu Qingyu a side glance and with his usual cold voice, answered, “She recently acted in Nirvana of Phoenix and it’s related to the Beitong project.”
If something were to happen, it might have adverse effects on the Beitong project.
Lu Qingyu was speechless. In fact, Jiang Xuecheng was looking out for Su Wan and even caring about these trivial matters.
Lu Qingyu pouted and looked rather complacent, “There are many actresses who want to have an affair with me. If Siren is on the entertainment gossip headlines with me, I guarantee your box-office rate would double.”
Jiang Xuecheng said briefly, “No, thank you.”
Hearing this, Lu Qingyu choked. His face changed and felt both Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan were addicted to ridiculing him.
However, Lu Qingyu couldn’t find any reason to fight back. So, he shook his hand helplessly.
“Alright, what brings you here? Is it related to Su Wan again?”
Besides matters related to Su Wan, Lu Qingyu had never seen Jiang Xuecheng so concerned.
Jiang Xuecheng was not surprised to hear Lu Qingyu pointing out the core of the matter. He faintly nodded.
“It’s indeed related to Su Wan that I’m here to look for you. To be more accurate, I’d like you to find someone for me.”
“Who?”
Lu Qingyu was suddenly interested. There was no one Jiang Xuecheng couldn’t locate in this world and it was rare that he asked for his help.
Jiang Xuecheng pointed at the screen. That moment, Helena was announcing the owner of the blue diamond necklace.
“Congratulations 1311 for taking the ownership of this blue diamond necklace with the price of twenty million dollars.”
Lu Qingyu was stunned. What riddle was Jiang Xuecheng giving him? Wasn’t Su Wan the one sitting in Room 1311?
Helena, the top auctioneer in the auction world, was an occasional guest at Di Chen Group. She was considered one of Jiang Xuecheng’s partners. She wouldn’t be someone Jiang Xuecheng wanted to investigate…
Suddenly, Lu Qingyu knew who Jiang Xuecheng meant.
He hit the table and his amorous eyes deepened. Strong disagreement appeared in his eyes.
“Young Master, are you trying to ask me to go against the Lu’s auction rules and tell you who the seller of the blue diamond necklace is? Let me tell you that I, Lu Qingyu, am a man of principle.”
Lu Qingyu’s just words reverberated in the entire room but Jiang Xuecheng was not at all moved. His look was cold and his eyes were deep and unpredictable.
“How much do you want?”
These words uttered by Jiang Xuecheng were flat but to Lu Qingyu, they made him unnatural.
“Is this a matter of money? I said I’m a man of principle.”
Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes landed on Lu Qingyu. He looked at the time on his watch and his brows slightly knitted.
The blue diamond necklace had been purchased. With Lu’s auction’s speed of payment, he was afraid, the seller would leave the cruise ship in half an hour.
“Just tell me a figure. Time waits for no one.”
Lu Qingyu sent a message in his phone. Looking at the reply, his eyes became dim.
Lu Qingyu raised his head slightly and with a calm smile, said, “Young Master, compared to money, I prefer a more euphemistic approach. Actually, Su Wan and I were schoolmates and when it comes to help…”
Jiang Xuecheng’s look turned cold and his eyes had as if been covered by a layer of ice.
“Mr. Lu, you’d better not push your luck.”
Seeing Jiang Xuecheng getting angry, Lu Qingyu shook his hand quickly and touched his nose.
“Young Master, what were you thinking? I was merely saying we can be friends in the future and friends don’t usually talk about money!”
Lu Qingyu paused and turned serious. “I’ve just inquired. The person who sold the blue diamond necklace is now in Room 4566.”
