Chapter 141: You Don't Qualify to Laugh at Me

This charity dinner went through a lot of assessments. There were even gunmen working as security.

It was solemn. There were a lot of Hollywood stars, but there were scarcely any reporters in the venue.

Yun Xiangxiang and He Wei still attracted a lot of attention when they arrived. Most of it was curious gazes.

It was just like what He Wei said. A lot of people were curious about a girl who could resist the temptation of the shining jewels.

It wasn't the kind of dinner where everyone would sit in their spots to start the bidding and donation after they arrived. It would appear rigid and uninteresting then.

They would request the people who were providing the items for auction to register first before handing the items over to the person in charge on the spot.

There were also professional appraisers assessing the items if they were antiques. They would only be registered if they were recognized as authentic.

They would then be led to the great hall. It was an extremely extravagant and elegant place.

An enormous crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling. The light that was refracted was warm and luxurious. It sprinkled upon everyone's face.

It complemented the peerless brilliance of jewels. It was even more so for the ladies who were wearing expensive jewelry. They shone brightly.

"Hello, Oriental angel." There came a young and vivacious voice just when Yun Xiangxiang and He Wei had found a place to stand.

Oriental angel was basically Yun Xiangxiang's nickname in New York City now. Yun Xiangxiang turned her head around.

It was a young man with a sunny smile who was wearing a plaid suit that was paired with a red bow tie.

His hair was blond, and his eyes were blue. He was full of energy.

"Wilson Caroline. A descendant of nobility," He Wei explained to Yun Xiangxiang briefly before Wilson got near.

He Wei naturally had a rough understanding of everyone who came here since he was attending the dinner.

"Hello, my name is Wilson. I know that your name is Yun," Wilson appeared to be quite enthusiastic. He had a pure smile too.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Yun Xiangxiang skipped her introduction since he knew her name.

"My friends and I are quite curious about you." Wilson pointed at somewhere afar while he spoke.

A group of youngsters who were in nice attires raised their glasses amicably. Yun Xiangxiang toasted them across space politely.

"Do you really dislike gems?" Wilson asked.

"No, I like them very much." Yun Xiangxiang answered smilingly, "But I think that friendship is more important than precious stones."

"Lucky Austin. I envy him for being your friend. Do I have the honor to be your friend?"

Europeans were relatively direct, compared to Asians who were reserved. Yun Xiangxiang's smile remains unchanged, "Of course. It is my honor."

Both of them had a happy chat. Austin went around to entertain and socialize. The warm-up of the auction was actually a gathering.

These were unrelated to Yun Xiangxiang. He Wei always stood by Yun Xiangxiang as her guardian. He didn't leave her too far away.

"My friends also want to know you very much. Is that fine?" Wilson was urged by his nearby friends a few times.

Yun Xiangxiang heard that too. She looked at He Wei when she noticed them moving around.
