He Huai’s gaze flickered as he said, “Well…! was just asking out of curiosity…”
“Right.” Shen Qian lowered his gaze. “I’m keeping the bracelet for myself.”
He Huai didn’t suspect anything. Shen Qian was known for his passion for collecting, and he was often seen at major auctions both domestically and internationally. Occasionally bidding on high-value antiques, and medieval paintings, so even exploring jewelry was perfectly normal for him.
“Sorry for being late…” The door to the private room opened from the outside, accompanied by an apology. With a smile, Song Lin entered and casually draped his suit jacket over the sofa, coincidentally next to Shen Qian.
“Have you all started without me?” He picked up a clean stemmed glass, poured it about seventy percent full, sniffed it first, and then tasted. “Great wine!”
Shen Qian’s gaze turned notably serious, and he cast a questioning look at He Huai, sharp and penetrating.

Yes, they were enemies.
When they came back from the hot spring resort, Shen Qian and Song Lin had a big argument, and their relationship remained strained until today. The issue was that He Huai didn’t know the reason behind their dispute, and he had no opportunity to act as a mediator.
“Ah Lin, didn’t you say you were busy tonight?”
Song Lin swayed the highball glass in his hand, his passion for the wine industry evident. “1 suddenly had some free time. Why, not happy to see me?”
“No…I didn’t mean it that way.”
“So, how about sitting down for a few drinks?” He Huai asked, although his gaze was fixed on the direction where Shen Qian was.
“Well…” He Huai was still hesitating on how to handle the situation, but Shen Qian had already picked up his coat, his face cold, and was preparing to leave.
“I’ll be going now.”
With that, he opened the door, leaving behind an awkward silence in the room.
He Huai exchanged a glance with Qin Zeyan, while Song Lin finished the remaining wine in his glass, grabbed his coat, and followed Shen Qian outside.
“Um…did 1 mess up?” He Huai asked nervously.
Qin Zeyan nodded solemnly. “And it’s not a small mistake.”
“Oh no…”
“Don’t worry, no one’s going to die.”
“How was 1 supposed to know that Song Lin would suddenly show up? He clearly said he was busy! I’m in deep trouble…”
“It’s not about that,” Qin Zeyan shook his head.
He Huai frowned, “Then what is it?”

“You…figured it out?”
“Heh, don’t you realize that the four major auction houses in Europe have strict confidentiality procedures for their top clients? They have exclusive private rooms for bidding, completing transactions, and even transporting auction items to designated locations. How did you hear that he went to the auction, and who told you that he bought a bracelet? 1 had no idea you had such a capable cousin, someone who can obtain first-hand client information from Christie, a renowned auction house known for its reputation.”
He Huai felt like he’d been struck by lightning.
This time, he was in real trouble…
Meanwhile, Song Lin chased after Shen Qian, all the way to the elevator lobby.
“Is there something you want to talk about?”
“Ah Qian, let’s have a conversation.”
“I thought we had already made things clear back at the hotel in the hot spring resort.”
Song Lin’s gaze darkened, and a hint of menace gradually crept into his expression. “Are you planning to break ties with me for her sake?!”
“Why not?”
“Shen Qian, are you out of your mind? You consented to drugging her.. Why are you putting all the blame on me alone? After all these years of brotherhood, you’d choose that illegitimate daughter over me?! What’s gotten into your head? Do you really think Shen Wan is as innocent and harmless as she appears on the surface? Let me tell you – she’s just pretending to be pitiable and vulnerable, playing you and All Huai like puppets!”
