Chapter 99 Search: "He's far inferior to me."
The audience also saw the pink necklace in the crystal case and heard the waiter's explanation.
[Hehe, let's make a bet! Someone will place an order for this right away.]
[Hahahaha, this necklace represents unwavering love! (evil grin.jpg)]
Am I the only one who thinks this flamingo pink conch bead bracelet looks a lot like the pink bead bracelet Ye Hantao is wearing?!
[Ahhhhh, me too!!! But this string of beads is bigger than Ye Hantao's!]
[Holy crap, I just checked online, and a one-carat flamingo pink conch pearl usually costs around 100,000 RMB?? Top-quality ones can cost 700,000 to 800,000 RMB per carat (stunned.jpg)]
【????】
Jin Shiyue examined the necklace for a few seconds and asked Ye Hantao, "You have a bracelet made of pink conch beads, right?"
It was even called a plastic bead by that idiot Ji Changtu.
Ye Hantao was subjected to an overwhelming amount of shocks that night.
“…Yes.” Ye Hantao approached the display case and asked softly, “What’s the price of this necklace?”
The waiter nodded slightly. "29.99 million."
The waiter already knew about Ye Hantao's relationship with Velvion, and said with a smile, "This necklace was made by Oliver."
Ye Hantao had heard a lot about this from the celebrities who came to say hello.
My uncle is not only the CEO of Velvion, but also a top designer in the fashion industry who is sought after by countless people, spanning the two major fields of jewelry and clothing.
The waiter, recalling what Jin Shiyue had just mentioned about Ye Hantao also having a string of pink conch beads, said, "A few years ago, Oliver mentioned in an interview that his sister took away the finest batch of pink conch beads, which must be the one you're wearing?"
Amidst a series of garbled electronic sounds, Ye Hantao managed a forced smile, feigning pride as she said, "The one I'm wearing is definitely the best of the batch."
Does anyone remember the pink conch pearls that Yuan Qiong wanted to buy from Ye Hantao in the tea garden?
[I remember! Holy crap! Yuan Qiong actually wanted to snag a bargain for 500 yuan?!]
Is it possible that it wasn't five hundred dollars but five million?
[The key point is that Ye Hantao and Jin Shiyue only talked about 500 yuan that night!]
Ye Hantao is hiding her family background! Can we believe anything she says?
[...can it be believed that Ye Hantao is mixing truth and falsehood?]
After being reminded by some viewers, the others recalled what Ye Hantao had once said.
What Ye Hantao said that they thought was lying and vanity was actually true.
Without exception.
"..."
What does Ye Hantao mean by this? Is she mixing up the truth and the lies to see us get proven wrong?
[Is she especially happy that we, the stupid viewers, were humiliated by her exposure of her family members?]
[Why hide it when you could be open and transparent like Liao Jiayue? Which marketing company did you learn from?]
Are you guys crazy? If you hadn't judged people by their appearance in the first place, would you have been proven wrong?
[You all have different interpretations of the same sentence before and after Ye Hantao's family was exposed. How dare you say Ye Hantao is waiting to be proven wrong?]
[Then let me add one more thing: aren't you the same group of people who are jumping up and down now, the same ones who shouted "the poor are all troublemakers" back then?]
[6666, you fans have the nerve to say you weren't here for Maze, Zhou Shumiao, and Oliver's kiss???]
[Disease progression: 15%]
Ye Hantao was stunned when she received the electronic voice feedback from the character design.
My uncle is the CEO of Velvion. She said, "Can wearing the best item in a batch be considered vanity or lying by the audience?"
Just then, a commotion arose at the entrance of the hall.
Ye Hantao vaguely heard Ren Lang's name through the crowd, exchanged a glance with Jin Shiyue, and walked over in tacit understanding.
Ren Lang was lying on the stretcher with his eyes closed!
Ye Hantao could hear the guests chattering amongst themselves.
"Oh my god, wasn't Lorenzo already awake?"
"He had just come out from next door, smiling and saying he was fine, but as soon as he finished speaking, he turned pale and knelt on the ground."
"Then he bumped into a vase, which hit him on the head."
The electronic voice kept changing between describing the patient's condition and displaying gibberish, making my head buzz.
Ye Hantao rubbed her ears while looking at the redness and swelling on Ren Lang's forehead.
It was probably caused by being hit by a vase.
[drop--]
[The unknown target is in a deep coma and cannot be countered until the target regains consciousness.]
Ye Hantao watched Ren Lang and the stretcher disappear into the distance, then pursed her lips.
The first relapse occurred after I took a shower on the show, then I swiped my older brother's black card, and in the clinic, I saw my great-aunt and heard garbled electronic voices again.
But those were all spaced out over time, except tonight, when it happened repeatedly.
Ye Hantao suddenly realized.
Apart from the first time, the subsequent recurrences of the illness were all related to his family members.
"Tao Tao, are you tired?"
"Um?"
Ye Hantao turned her head, looked up and met Cheng Zhao's gaze, and slowly said, "It's alright."
Cheng Zhao raised his hand slightly at his side, then paused in mid-air, seemingly hesitant, his long, grey-blue eyes fixed on her.
Your face is a little red.
Blushing? Ye Hantao covered her cheeks with her palms, feeling them burning hot.
Jin Shiyue was immersed in the ultimate joy of the people around her secretly discussing Ren Lang's bad luck when she suddenly heard this conversation. She immediately raised her hand and touched Ye Hantao's forehead.
After a moment, Jin Shiyue frowned, "You have a fever?"
Ye Hantao looked bewildered. "Huh?"
Ten minutes later, Ye Hantao sat down in front of the medical team that had stayed behind.
The electronic thermometer dripped.
The doctor looked at the thermometer. "38 degrees Celsius."
Ye Hantao touched her forehead and looked at the progress of her illness, which was still at 15%.
Family members watching from outside the screen: "..."
Zhou Yi knelt down with a thud, asking hopelessly, "If I lied and said I was the puppet of the big boss behind the scenes, would Tao Tao believe me?"
Zhou Ti stared at Tao Tao on the screen and said, "Shut up."
"I can just take a fever reducer." Ye Hantao smiled and said after hearing Cheng Zhao and the doctor say that they would do a more detailed examination. "My fever used to be no lower than 39 degrees Celsius, so this is considered a low-grade fever."
Cheng Zhao's face was tense. "You think your uncle is very rich?"
Ye Hantao replied instinctively, "Of course."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Zhao retorted in an extremely cold and ruthless manner, "He is far inferior to me."
Audience: [???]
[Dude, are you crazy???]
[This could be your future uncle! What are you talking about?!]
[Are you out of your mind? This isn't your love rival!]
What is Cheng Zhao doing?
Did he have a conflict with Ye Hantao's uncle?
[Impossible! Isn't he the heir to Dingxin? Dingxin and Velvion have a long-standing partnership!]
[If there were a real conflict, would he have come to the Gaozhu Exhibition Center?]
He probably came to Gaozhu Exhibition Center because of Ye Hantao, but he didn't expect that Ye Hantao's uncle was Oliver.
That night, the top two trending topics were both related to Gao Zhuzhan.
#YeHanTao'sUncleOliver#
#Ren Lang faints#
In the next few entries, there were also trending topics related to Ye Hantao.
#YeHanPeachPinkSeashellBeads#
#Princess Ye Hantao Velvion#
#Cheng Zhao is far inferior to me#
Ye Hantao has less than 10 million fans, yet she still managed to occupy half of the trending topics among a group of top celebrities who participated in the Gaozhu Exhibition.
Ye Hantao, the person involved, was lying on her bed in the dormitory, the glowing light from her phone screen shimmering on the curtains around her.
The electronic thermometer I just used showed 36.8 degrees Celsius, and the fever has subsided.
The phone chat window contained nearly an hour of conversation.
The first half consists of the family's explanations to the uncle, who, as the CEO of Velvion, had been pretending to be a zoo employee.
In summary, the so-called chief CEO is just a high-level employee.
My uncle was tired of the hypocritical masks of the wealthy and preferred to shovel poop for Capibala at the zoo.
In the past year or two, he has been preparing to leave his job.
The second half is the parents' confession, saying that they worked incredibly hard when they were young, but of course, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't achieve what their uncle had.
They suddenly felt tired and exhausted after getting married, and they both lay down.
Ye Hantao did not express any objection and believed whatever her family told her.
After finishing the phone call, I repeatedly reminded her to take her temperature.
If all else fails, I'll go home tonight.
Ye Hantao didn't want to go back, worried that the suspicious expression on her face would give her away.
[Sponsor Mom: Tao Tao, has your fever gone down?]
Ye Hantao typed a reply: [Just measured, 36.8 (image.jpg)]
Knock knock knock
Someone knocked on the bed ladder.
Ye Hantao stopped typing.
"Princess Peach~" my roommate said in a strained voice, trying not to laugh, "This servant would like to make sandwiches for a late-night snack. May I borrow your pickled cucumbers and sauces?"
Ye Hantao drew back the curtains, her face blank.
The three roommates in the dormitory could no longer hold back their laughter.
Haha ...
"That's enough! You've been interrogating me for ages while I was taking a shower after I got back!"
Upon returning to school from Gao Zhuzhan, Ye Hantao had just entered her dormitory when her three roommates exaggeratedly curtsied, saying, "Princess, are you well?"
"..." Ye Hantao made her escape and rushed into the bathroom.
The dormitory has a private bathroom, and the shower is located on one side of the balcony. So, the three roommates squeezed onto the balcony and asked each other questions through the door.
The dorm leader coughed lightly, "I've lived for twenty years and never thought that my roommate was a rich woman hiding her identity could happen to me. I'm so excited."
The other two roommates chimed in unison, "Me too!"
"Tao Tao, your brother, great-aunt, and uncle are all incredibly powerful." Her roommate, leaning on the bed ladder, stared at Ye Han Tao. "If you ever told me that your aunt and uncle were royalty from some royal family, I'd believe you!"
Ye Hantao poked her forehead with her finger and pushed it away, saying, "The pickles are on the table, help yourself!"
Splash!
Ye Hantao drew the curtains, lowered her head and chatted with her family for a few minutes to reassure them.
Then I opened the chat window and typed "Zhou Yi" into the web search bar.
Surprisingly, the first few pages of the page did not contain any content related to the Velvion Group; they were mostly redundant information about people with the same name.
Ye Hantao scrolled through the pages and finally found a page related to the CEO of the Velvion Group.
Searching for the uncle's English name again reveals the words "Chief CEO of Velviin Group".
It even included a personal photo, but unlike the uncle with black hair and black eyes that we usually see, the person in this photo has dyed his hair gray-green and his eyes are also dark gray.
Ye Hantao thought of her older brother with dark skin and white hair, and her great-aunt with a bowl cut and bangs.
A moment later, Ye Hantao typed the names Zhou Ti and Ye Weizheng into the search box.
I flipped through more than a dozen pages, and there was nothing else besides information about people with the same name.
Are my parents really just ordinary former employees of a large company, as they say?
Ye Hantao lay flat on the bed.
No, this actually proves that Mom and Dad are definitely more capable than Uncle!
