Chapter 5 Charm without Heart

Raymond stared at Evelyn's face, and after a moment, a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"A new boyfriend?" he asked.

"Yes, didn't you say that if you feel lonely, you should find a companion? I have been alone in my room for three years, so it is reasonable for me to find a boyfriend." Evelyn responded with a smile on her face.

"Why, only you, the governor, are allowed to set fires, but we, the common people, are not allowed to light lamps?" she added.

Raymond shrugged indifferently: "It would be better if you found a boyfriend. If he can make you stop pestering me, I will prepare a generous gift and thank him in person."

Raymond didn't believe that Evelyn really had a boyfriend.

How could he not know what she was thinking?

It must be because she saw him calling Linda, so she deliberately found someone to act for him.

And the acting was quite realistic.

When he hung up the phone, he could feel the jealous and angry tone of the man even through the phone.

I guess she wanted him to hear the word "boyfriend" on purpose.

Naturally, the two did not sleep in the same bed that night.

Evelyn lay on the bed and Raymond slept on the floor.

He still has some gentlemanly manners.

Before going to bed, Evelyn deliberately turned the air conditioner to the lowest temperature and hid the remote control.

When she woke up in the middle of the night, she saw Raymond lying on the ground, shivering while hugging his pillow, and she couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

The next morning, Raymond caught a cold.

Evelyn ignored him and went straight to the TV station.

She is a TV host, mainly responsible for the noon news program. She has a column called "Noon News Eye", which is also well-known in the circle.

Recently, the prime-time host Sister Lin changed jobs, and Evelyn is striving for this prime-time position.

After the midday news, she had free time.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Evelyn returned to the Yale family.

Raymond just came back from outside, apparently he went to see Linda.

When Raymond walked in, Evelyn had just changed her clothes and put on some exquisite makeup.

She was wearing a Xiangyunsha cheongsam with intricate patterns embroidered on the neckline and waist. Because they were of the same color, they were not obvious from a distance, but when you looked closely, they seemed exquisitely crafted.

Seeing Raymond coming in, Evelyn stood up and deliberately turned around gracefully in front of him: "How is it, does it look good?"

Although Raymond hated Evelyn , he had to admit that she was very beautiful. She was tall, about 1.7 meters tall, and she looked even more outstanding in high heels .

Cheongsam is high-end custom-made and naturally fits the body very well.

The skirt was ankle-length, revealing her snow-white, delicate ankles, making people want to touch them. Her waist was slender, as if it would break if you held it, but it was not shrunken and had exquisite curves.

Raymond's eyes moved from her chest up to that beautiful face.

The cheongsam is plain in color, but it forms a sharp contrast with her beautiful face, creating a different kind of charm.

Just like a fox spirit with thousands of years of practice who has just transformed into a human form, there is a hint of purity in her charm, and she is invisible and yet innocent.

Raymond 's Adam's apple moved, but he still said coldly: "It's ugly. White doesn't suit you at all."

Evelyn rolled her eyes, turned away, bent over and put on lipstick in front of the mirror.

"I guess in your heart, only Linda is the most suitable to wear white." She put on her lipstick, stood up, and smiled brightly at Raymond in the mirror. The provocation was self-evident, "I want to wear it."

Raymond only felt that she was extremely vivid and charming.

Especially her arrogant and domineering tone, which sounded like she was acting coquettishly, making people feel itchy.

But he soon realized that she was deliberately seducing him.

Raymond frowned and said, "Evelyn, don't act fancy in front of me. Even if you are not wearing anything, I won't even look at you."

After saying that, he said, "I'll wait for you in the car," and left the room.

Ten minutes later, Evelyn also got in the car.

Raymond leaned on the back seat with his eyes closed and said, "Lao Chen, go to Lushan Villa."

An hour later, the car finally arrived at the foot of Lushan Mountain.

The car wound its way up the mountain road, with tall and lush sycamore trees on both sides. The leaves blocked out the sun, and the light suddenly dimmed, as if we had entered a long tunnel.

I don’t know how long it took, but my eyes suddenly lit up.

A tall and majestic building, like a castle, slowly came into view.

The surroundings also became lively.

Many luxury cars were parked on the huge lawn, and countless waiters in white shirts and black vests were receiving the guests.

Under their guidance, Evelyn and Raymond also parked their car in the open-air parking lot.

Then , the waiter led them into the "castle".

The heavy and ancient door was open, and a red carpet hundreds of meters long was spread from inside to outside to guide the guests.

Evelyn looked at the intricate patterns on the carpet and was shocked.

This is a pure handmade Persian carpet from Isfahan, which combines materials such as wool, cotton, silk, gold and silver threads. It has bright colors and complex craftsmanship.

The carpet under their feet is of top quality, usually costing US$200,000 per square meter.

Evelyn looked at the endless red carpet and couldn't help but gasp.

The Browns family's wealth is indeed well-deserved.

The scene inside the villa is even more shocking, with precious antique blue and white porcelain display walls, huge British antique clocks, European antique chandeliers... antiques everywhere.

And this is just the banquet hall on the first floor. You can imagine how many treasures are hidden in this "castle".

Grandma Browns's banquet style is quite traditional, and today they will host 100 tables of guests.

There were round tables on both sides of the carpet, and a guest name tag was placed on each seat.

The invitation also clearly stated that the two seats for the Yale family were at table 99.

"Look over there, is the guy in the black Zhongshan suit the director of the Land Bureau? And the guy in the white shirt, is he the mayor of Rongcheng?"

" Not to mention the mayor of Rongcheng, the mayor of Beijing is here too, and several people from the central government are here too. Grandma Browns is making a big show."

"So, among these 100 tables, we in Rongcheng are only invited to two tables, and they are arranged at tables 99 and 100."

"Compared with these big shots, being able to sit at tables 99 and 100 is a compliment to us."

The ones who were speaking were Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Quincy. They were both noble ladies from top families in Rongcheng and were friends with Evelyn's mother Susan, so Evelyn naturally knew them.

When they met, Evelyn had no choice but to greet them: "Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Quincy, good evening."

When Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Quincy saw Evelyn, a trace of heartache and regret flashed in their eyes.

"It's Xiaoyou, you're here too."

"Your mom and Joyce are giving gifts to Grandma Browns, you should go say hello."
