Daily Life in the Countryside After Being Reborn

Chapter 784: Chapter 108: Femme Fatale

"The exhibition hall corridor is so wide, yet you refuse to walk around. Don’t think that just because you are a foreign guest, you can disregard others and not see who you are encountering," The young couple who just emerged from the corner are none other than Xu Lan Ya and Ye Heng.

Xu Lan Ya wanted to invite Yezi out that day, but after being bluntly rejected, she had no choice but to settle for Ye Heng, who came knocking at her door.

Both of them held the limited VIP guest tickets, so they also came from the D1 hall.

Originally, hall D4 was not within Xu Lan Ya’s planned visiting range. In her view, even purchasing jewelry from the Hong Kong and Taiwan areas was a secondary choice, let alone buying domestic brands from Mainland China.

As she reached the entrance of D3 hall, Xu Lan Ya became increasingly angry, and that anger stemmed from Ye Heng by her side.

Choosing to come out with Ye Heng was truly an absurd mistake. Xu Lan Ya, who cares greatly about appearances, had dressed up elaborately today. Throughout the journey, she was like a peacock spreading its feathers.

Indeed, she attracted significant attention, but most people sneered and covertly sized up Ye Heng, who was significantly shorter than her.

Ye Heng still dressed as he did on campus, looking utterly out of place. "Beauty and the Beast" was the perfect description for them.

Xu Lan Ya endured ambiguous gazes all along the way, almost on the verge of cursing out loud at the bystanders. What are you looking at?

The most outrageous incident happened just now in the rest area between D3 and D4 halls. A few gossipers passed by her and whispered, "Look, she must be a mistress supported by some bumpkin."

If it weren’t for the concern of causing a scene in a public place, Xu Lan Ya would have gone up and torn those gossipy mouthes apart.

The frustrations didn’t end there. Earlier at the Patek Philippe booth in D1 hall, she took a liking to a ladies’ watch priced in the six figures, instantly dismissing Ye Heng’s idea of buying the watch.

When Xu Lan Ya wanted to proceed to the men’s watch booth, Ye Heng immediately suggested taking a detour.

"Lan Ya, why don’t we take a look at gold watches instead? I’ve heard older people like to wear gold to ward off bad luck," Ye Heng completely avoided those exorbitantly priced European and American designer watches.

Among cultivators, Ye Heng is one who devotes himself to hard cultivation, striving to become an advanced student since his entry into the Huake Institute. Even Wang Shuai admired his dedication before meeting Xu Lan Ya.

The direct consequence of focusing entirely on cultivation is that he, unlike others, didn’t engage in any side business and is extremely poor. The last time, his Heaven-defying Value also plummeted considerably at the Spiritual Fruit Garden, leaving his bank account with barely a hundred thousand RMB.

For someone like Xu Lan Ya, such an amount wouldn’t even be enough to buy a watch band.

"No need. There’s a Miao Silver counter in D4 Hall, let’s check that out," Xu Lan Ya said, gently touching the Rose silver carving hanging on her phone.

"Silver?" Ye Heng was surprised, then somewhat relieved. Lan Ya was considerate after all, knowing his financial constraints, which is why she chose to look at silver jewelry. "Let’s not, silver jewelry isn’t valuable enough for you, let’s still look at gold."

"Gold, gold, always mulling over gold. How tacky can you be? Have you seen a woman my age covered in gold and not look ridiculous, blockhead?" Xu Lan Ya was infuriated. Who says silver isn’t valuable? Anything Xu Lan Ya takes a liking to, even if it’s a piece of iron, she could find a way to turn it into a Diamond.

After scolding, she didn’t wait to see if Ye Heng was following and turned around, heading to D4 hall.

As Xu Lan Ya entered D4 hall, a bamboo building at the entrance also caught her attention. After admiring it for a while, she proceeded into the venue.

In just that short amount of time, Xiao Xian and Yezi exited through another door.

As Xu Lan Ya approached the Miao Silver booth, she ran into Anna and her group coming out from inside.

"How can you talk like that, truly lacking decency," Anna, having been humiliated at Xiao Xian’s hands and having suffered a setback from an intermediate student at the Huake Institute, was obviously in no good mood.

When chili meets pepper, the outcome can only be imagined.

"Anna, let’s leave it. We should head back to our booth," Paul saw the opposing party’s imposing attitude, and the short man following behind them looked tough to mess with.

Even though they are foreign businessmen with government privileges, being foreigners, any trouble would become difficult for him to explain to Anna’s family.
