The crystal chandelier reflects the bright light, the clothes are fragrant, the room is full of light, and the woman in the black evening dress walks to the front of the stage from the bustling crowd.

There were many people from the world of history, art critics, auctions, celebrities from politics and business, and even the head of the Bellini family, a well-known family in the collecting world.

Her gaze gently swept over the attendees, revealing a charming smile. "Welcome to all guests. Today is the opening party of the art fair, so I will not make a long speech, please enjoy tonight's banquet. ”

"Is she the host? What a beautiful girl, and she is a good match with the young and Dorking Mr. Egbert. "There were people in the room who exchanged their heads.

In the eyes of others, a woman like her, who is surrounded and protected by male nobles, is always very proud, gets twice the result with half the effort, and looks like a good wind to help me to the clouds.

A French guest came up to greet her, "I haven't seen you for many days, and Miss Caterina is as beautiful tonight as ever." "In the eyes of the French, the girl with oriental style, black hair and black eyes is quite amazing.

"I'm the dealer Canable Bessa, and it's a great honour to be entertained today by a lady who is even more beautiful than the Mona Lisa. ”

Su Xiaoqiquan was just aesthetically different from the guests' beautiful words, and she smiled lightly, "Mr. Canable, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

A young man in a handmade Italian suit walked over from among the guests, came to Su Xiaoqi's side, approached her and stood close to her, "Katarina, long time no see?"

"Mr. Giulio. She turned and looked at the young man who came to her.

Julio smiled and said, "I thought you wouldn't forgive me?"

"No, there is no such thing. Su Xiaoqi shook her head.

"With him now?" he whispered.

"Yes. She nodded.

"Is he nice to you?" asked Giulio.

She lowered her eyes and smiled, "Not bad." ”

"I wish you happiness. Julio prepared to turn and leave.

"Thank you. Su Xiaoqi said loudly. "And ...... Last time. ”

Stopping, he turned his head.

"Angry at you. The young woman lowered her head and whispered, "I'm sorry!"

She knew that Giulio had come to cheer herself up, and although she had rejected his kindness last time, she had relied on the prestige that the Bellini family's presence had brought to the show.

Julio smiled gracefully and said, "Aren't we friends?" ”

He turned around and said in a low voice, "If you have anything in the future, you can find your personal butler Bernate." ”

She nodded, "Hmm." ”

After Julio finished talking to her, he walked out into the hall with the people around him.

At the opening of the art fair, she met many people from different geographies and different walks of life, many from museums and galleries in Europe and the Americas, and many collectors from all over the world.

Joseph came to the venue, the third son of the Rosehill family, who had come out of sheer curiosity. Like Joseph, many people actually came to see her, and many well-informed people had heard of the previous dispute between GEI and the big international banks.

Some time ago, art reached new heights at auctions, and all kinds of speculation and money laundering methods followed, whether it was Asian antiques or bonds from 70 years ago, collectors, bankers, and tycoons were involved...... Cultural relics worth hundreds of millions of dollars finally fell into the hands of Wang.

An elaborate art finance scam came to an abrupt end at one point only because a young Italian woman named Caterina did not hesitate to burn the bills at a meeting.

He looked at her sideways, and guessed that she should be a sexy Italian beauty before meeting, who knew that her appearance was more oriental, and she was also a beautiful girl, with a small and cute nose and dark eyes......

However, as a man of the Roshill family, there has never been a shortage of beauties.

Unexpectedly, Egbert was interested in such a woman. Joseph shook his glass lightly, holding naïve thoughts around him, there were many women who tried to climb the Rosehill family, it can be said that Joseph did not take them seriously, he was the most affectionate and at the same time the most ruthless man in the Rosehill family.

"Master Joseph, don't go looking for that woman. The assistant said on the side.

Joseph smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I'm in my own way." ”

Su Xiaoqi turned around and saw a young man with blond hair walking towards her, with a gentle and elegant temperament, although the appearance of blonde hair and blue eyes was not as dazzling as Allen, but the outline was similar to Allen, and there was a special temperament in his gestures.

She was stunned when she saw this person, judging from her appearance and characteristics, there was no doubt that she was a man from the Rosehill family, and then she thought about it, since she had established a relationship with Allen, how could she not see them?

The first time she met someone from Rosehill's family, she didn't leave any good memories, and she was a little unsure of the other party's intentions.

Su Xiaoqi pondered, "Who are you?"

"Hello, I'm Joseph Peric Roshill. He said softly, "It's Egbert's cousin." ”

He smiled slightly, "Speaking of art, I also studied a little bit at Oxford University, how about we have a chance to talk?"

"Okay. She nodded.

"I'm looking forward to it. The blond young man said, "Why don't you wait until the banquet is over?"

After the banquet was over, Su Xiaoqi left the hall and came to a private room in the conference suite, where the young man sat on a chair with a smile on his face, "Miss Katerina, we can talk about history." ”

He chatted with her all over the world, and the conversation had a witty and elegant tone of American high society.

At the end, the young man smiled, "No girl in college could talk to me about history in such depth." ”

He changed the subject, "I want to ask you, although you and Egbert are dating now, have you ever thought that you might become my brother and sister in the future?"

"This ......," she replied, looking down for a moment, "honestly, we're not suitable." ”

Joseph put down the cup and asked curiously, "Why do you think it's not suitable?"

"Mr. Joseph, how can an ordinary man and Egbert fit in? I live in two different worlds with him. ”

The young man who spoke elegantly to the other side lowered his eyes, and said in a faint voice, "I see, in fact, you are full of self-knowledge, and you are indeed not worthy of him." ”

There was an unusually cold calmness in his voice: "Just like the woman I knew before—"

"I can tell you a little bit, they have great looks, good family backgrounds, and they are all well-educated socialites, but this alone is not possible to marry into the Rosehill family, although you don't seem to want to enter the Rosehill family. ”

Hearing his words, she raised her eyes to look at Joseph, and said with a faint look in her eyes, "You are right, if I can leave him then, there will be no trouble." ”

"At first I was skeptical of his intentions, but when I found out how he was doing me, I was really happy. I once compared my future and dreams with him on the scales, thinking that if I left him, there would be no more troubles in my heart, and I told him that I could not be with him...... But by the time I found out that I had fallen in love with him, it was too late, but I didn't regret falling in love with him at all. ”

She lowered her eyelashes, "I once decided to be single, and in this life I only have a soft spot for collecting and history, because if you are willing to work hard to do business or research, you will eventually achieve success one day." ”

"But if you fall in love, no matter how hard I try, it won't necessarily come to fruition. ”

"I don't know what I'm going to do because I like him so much. Su Xiaoqi put down the empty cup, "I'm sorry for saying these words to you." ”

She walked to the window and looked at the moon in the sky, and the conversation with Joseph aroused a trace of melancholy in her heart, the two worlds were completely different!

Because I'm so happy now, I completely forgot about it...... Maybe she just pretended to forget about the future of this relationship......

She was silent, slowly lowering her eyelashes, their long black lashes casting shadows over her white face. What if one day, the two of them took different paths? When Alan said that she wanted her, then she understood that this was not a fairy tale, not a world that she could control.

Joseph looked at the young woman, and in the eyes of others, there were so many big people around her, and he even had a feeling that she must like him, understand and appreciate each other.

Her understanding and appreciation make the other party irresistible, even surpassing her appearance, temperament, intelligence and humor.

When he heard the rumors, he thought of Caterina as a woman with a lot of means. Before he met her, he had all kinds of speculations in his mind, but it was another thing to actually talk to her - she would not be a simple woman and not very scheming.

A woman's weakness gives a man the urge to love and protect her under his wing, but what really makes the other person look the other way is that she has a unique strength.

For the depth and understanding of art, for the exploration of the unknown, this girl is good at doing things that are unknown to others in a certain field, pushing him to understand his unknown world.

In fact, he just wanted to take a look, but he didn't expect that he would point this out to the woman in front of him, if she didn't have a true temperament, it was impossible to impress Egbert and him, who would be obsessed and fascinated by the "fake"?

The blond-haired young man swayed the wine in his glass: "Before meeting you, I don't think you are suitable for the Roshill family." But there are always a lot of rules in the world that are changing little by little, and there are many things to try. ”

She felt a little strange when she heard this, "Since you think I'm not suitable, why do you encourage me?"

He placed the cup on the table.

"Indeed, as I said earlier, I still don't think you're suitable to marry into the Rosehill family, but for the real you, not only do I not hate it, on the contrary, I like it, I think that's why he pushed you to meet the Wilson family, right?"

He smiled slightly, "That guy, I think, with his character, probably doesn't care about art." Egbert is the most dispassionate family manager of our generation. ”

Therefore, Joseph, the smartest of the Rosehill family besides Allen, deduced something from some fragments, which aroused his curiosity, and came to meet this woman.

Joseph looked at her, "No matter how confident Egbert is, he should care more about you than anyone else, otherwise he wouldn't have single-handedly created a world where finance and art merge." ”

He said, "It's not like your world and his world can't overlap. ”

When she heard Joseph say this, her eyes widened.

At the end of the dinner, the young woman came out in a black evening dress, she wanted to be alone for a while, so she did not immediately inform the driver.

Turning around, she saw a man in a black tweed coat walking towards her, "Miss Katerina, I'm your international butler, Bernate. ”

"Miss, please get in the car. The man stood aside, and a luxurious RV drove by.

"What is this?" she wondered.

The man in the black coat whispered, "Please believe me, I am your personal butler, and some things can only be discussed in detail in the car." ”

She suddenly remembered that Giulio had mentioned to her that a personal butler could be trusted, could it be that this was Giulio's sincerity to her family on behalf of the Bellini family?

She followed Bernat into the car, and when they sat down, the man smiled at her and motioned, "I'm here to inform you of something." ”

His voice was deep and mellow, "That is, you have passed our audit standards, and you can ask K-Club to do three things for you." ”

This sentence made her feel a little strange, why is there another review system as a member?

She asked, "Is this any different?"

Sitting in the car, Bernat replied: "Our members must be recommended by the extended family, and after approval, they can remotely ask a personal butler to do things for you, such as personal affairs, entrusted affairs, etc. ”

"You just said that I knew your audit criteria, what are them?" she couldn't help but ask.

"Miss, influence. He said, "Under your influence, you have changed two important events, no matter how you get your influence and how you use it, you meet this qualification at this stage." ”

"Our members have the right to serve the entire K-Club after they have been vetted by Guò. Bernat said in a deep voice, "We can do a lot for you." You can ask K-Club to do three things for you anytime, anywhere - as long as it's legal, we can do anything for you. ”

She thought about it, and it turned out to ...... This is the sincerity and apology of the Bellini family to her family, who were the founders of many societies in Europe.

"Anything?" she smiled lightly, "why do you say that you can do it for me?"

The personal butler of the K-Club said slowly: "The vast majority of our members are the most powerful people in the world, so K-Club is the most powerful club in the world, and our members will not exceed 200 people. ”

He said cautiously: "As for the agreement between the members and us, it is kept in secret, and no third party will know about it. ”

Getting out of the car, she was a little distracted, looking at the traffic on the street to make sure she was in the real world, when a black Bentley motorhome drove towards her.

She came back to her senses and knew that it was Alan who had come to pick her up.

After getting into the car, Egbert, who was sitting in the car, said casually, "You seem to have met an old friend today?"

Old friend, she reacted, she must be referring to Julio, "He's my cousin, and our relationship is nothing." ”

He glanced at her faintly, his expression as indifferent as when he was a child. Su Xiaoqi suddenly remembered that Italians do not have a rule that cousins do not intermarry, on the contrary, many of their families are related by blood in some places, so she changed the topic and said, "I also met someone from your family today." ”

The young man frowned slightly, he didn't have much affection for the people of the Rosehill family, only the girl in front of him represented all the family affection and friendship in childhood, and now love.

"Joseph?"

"I think he's a good guy. "Well, definitely because he showed his support for us being together.

"Joseph just broke up with his new girlfriend yesterday, and I heard that Beth bumped into him at tonight's party, aren't you worried about your friend?"

“......”

Even if it is rumored that the third young master of the Rosehill family is amorous, he will not meet Beth and eat it with hunger and thirst, right?

Besides, the French girl's view of love is completely different, and it is not certain who eats whom.

Did she wake up to the wrong topic just now?

Alan, are you--jealous?

Probably because the belly slander on her face was too obvious, he glanced at her and said indifferently: "Do you think you will affect me?"

She buried her head deeply, Alan, I was wrong! I didn't realize that you were jealous, it was my fault!

Why was she so happy?

She leaned on the young man's shoulder and said softly, "Alan, if one day I leave, will you miss me?"

"Where are you going?" Why are you going?"

She buried her head in the arms of the blonde young man, "I've stayed here enough, it's time to go, I haven't decided where to go, maybe go on an adventure!"

He hooked her chin with his fingers, "Where are you going to go alone?"

She wrapped her arms around his waist and closed her eyes: "You're here, how can I be willing to go." ”

When she lowered her arms and wanted to withdraw, he took her hand, as if counting the lines of his palm, and gently rubbed it on the palm prints, "I won't go, and I won't let you go." ”

Back at home, the young man naturally hugged her in his arms, and he lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "I hope you will be more infatuated with me." ”

"Also...... Do you want me to be more obsessed with you?" she blinked at him.

"This is now, this is now...... Isn't it enough?" has long since fallen under his gentle offensive, and it is his people inside and out!

"It's still far away!" he took her hand, and the two of them fell on the bed together, "I want you to leave me, you can't even breathe, it's all mine." ”
