At the auction, Yue Qingqing said a word to Elder Qian and switched her seat next to Second Senior Brother.
Zhou Yiran, whenever he saw a nice item, would turn his head to ask Yue Qingqing.
"Do you painting? If you do, buy it and hang it in the dormitory."
"That sapphire looks quite nice. Fancy it?"
"Forget about the antique, in old times it was just a teacup for us, nothing interesting. The next item, the diamond necklace, is pretty good though."
With Zhou Yiran’s voice, his probing eyes kept circling Yue Qingqing.
It made Yue Qingqing restless in her seat.
She knew Second Senior Brother was rich, but did he have to show off ?
"Really, no need, I’m still in school. Even if I get these things, I have nowhere to keep them."
Zhou Yiran immediately understood, "Which villa do you like then?"
Second Senior Brother, that’s not what I meant!
Zhou Yiran spoke earnestly, "Girls should be raised in luxury, you know? Otherwise, you could easily be tricked by a few dishes presented by someone else."
Yue Qingqing lowered her head, her face filled with guilt, vaguely feeling like she had been hit home.
Perhaps due to Zhou Yiran’s lavish spending, girls in the auction kept inching closer during intermission.
Like sharks smelling blood, looking to rush over and latch onto their prey.
Yue Qingqing counted them out.
A total of two feigned an ankle sprain and bumped into him.
Three held champagne glasses ready to accidentally spill on Zhou Yiran.
And countless others directly handing out their business cards.
It made Yue Qingqing reflect that, just like in her previous life, Second Senior Brother, with his wealth and ostentation, never lacked a flock of admirers.
However, it was the envious glances of those being sent away that left Yue Qingqing rather speechless.
Do you know who you’re offending? The future sister-in-law.
To avoid setting a bad example for his junior sister, Zhou Yiran put on the facade of a gentleman, glaring angrily at anyone who approached.
The only one who could get close was Lu Zhu, who came to see Yue Qingqing during breaks.
Upon seeing Lu Zhu, Yue Qingqing let out an inexplicable chuckle, leaving Lu Zhu full of question marks.
"Did you eat something unclean?"
Yue Qingqing’s meaningful smile instantly froze.
She had actually noticed that Lu Zhu and Second Senior Brother had particularly similar auras.
Both of them were encircled by a radiant golden light, signaling they were both blessed with wealth and loved money.
According to Yue Qingqing’s observations, people with compatible auras tended to easily tie the knot.
Moreover, when these two stood together, the combination of handsome and pretty was like stepping out of a fashion magazine, which gave Yue Qingqing some ideas.
"What do you think about Zhou Yiran?"
Lu Zhu gave her a puzzled look, mentally transposing it to what do you think about my boyfriend.
"Not bad. Most importantly, you like him."
Yue Qingqing blinked, "What does it have to do with what I like? I’m asking you."
Lu Zhu was even more baffled, "Why are you asking me? Isn’t he your boyfriend?"
Yue Qingqing almost choked, "Don’t talk nonsense, he’s my brother."
"Your brother? But you two don’t share a surname."
Yue Qingqing couldn’t explain and had to make up an excuse.
She said they knew each other as children and called each other siblings, but as they grew up, they went their separate ways.
Yue Qingqing had recognized him from a newspaper and thus found a way to enter the auction to search for relatives.
Lu Zhu suddenly realized, finally understanding.
"So, you two are half-siblings with different fathers and mothers."
Yue Qingqing: "...You can think of it that way if you like."
She didn’t forget about playing matchmaker, just about to sneakily inquire about Lu Zhu’s feelings toward Second Senior Brother, when the second half of the auction began.
Lu Zhu had to continue working.
Yue Qingqing took advantage of the auctioneer’s introduction of items to ask Second Senior Brother.
"What do you think of my classmate?"
Zhou Yiran didn’t notice his junior sister’s intentions and casually responded, "Don’t really remember."
Yue Qingqing was speechless, feeling like her matchmaking effort was in vain, as the two seemed to have no spark at all.
After the auction ended, Yue Qingqing suddenly remembered something.
"Second Senior Brother Zhou, did you already know about the other senior brothers?"
Zhou Yiran didn’t deny it, "Sort of."
"Then do you know where the Eldest Senior Brother is?"
Yue Qingqing looked hopeful, feeling like she was the tadpole in the cartoon finally going to gather all four senior brothers.
