Outside the venue was a beautiful lawn, already set with long dining tables for the dinner following the charity auction, and waiters in tailcoats busily preparing with trays in hand.
On the left of the lawn, a man holding a cocktail glass elegantly and gentlemanly clinked glasses with the person opposite him, smiling warmly and saying, "Really? I greatly appreciate Mr. Tony and Madam for coming this ti, and thank you for your invitation. If I have the chance next month, I will definitely visit the manor. Hopefully, Madam and the CEO will have ti then."
"Oh, of course," the middle-aged man with blonde hair and blue eyes responded imdiately. Beside him stood a woman, also blonde with blue eyes, dressed appropriately and smiling gracefully, perfectly playing the role of a good wife as she watched the two n exchange pleasantries.
At this ti, Oslo noticed Li Beijue walking in his direction, his smile faltering slightly as he turned to the two and said, "Apologies, a friend of mine has arrived. I’ll go say hello to him. As for the manor, it’s settled. Please enjoy yourselves at today’s charity auction."
The middle-aged man seed very fond of him, not at all upset at his mid-conversation departure, smiling as he said, "OK, don’t worry about us, go ahead."
"I apologize then." Oslo raised his wine glass, took a sip, and walked away with an apologetic expression.
Li Beijue just happened to arrive, casually taking a glass of red wine from a waiter and handing it over, "Young Master Li, here, have a glass. It’s an ’82 Lafite, tastes good. I rember Qiyun ntioned you like red wine."
Li Beijue’s pupils, like black obsidian, cooled a bit as he took the wine glass handed to him, sipped it, and said aningfully, "She seems to tell you everything."
Oslo, as if not catching the underlying aning, smiled slightly and said, "Not really, Qiyun is a very independent person. Unless she wants to tell sothing, otherwise I wouldn’t know."
Li Beijue shot him a keen look, as if trying to discern sothing from his face.
Oslo maintained his composed smile and continued, "I’ve always wanted to find an opportunity to have a al with you. After all, you’re Qiyun’s most cherished little brother. She often tells stories about your childhood. I’ve always wanted to et you. Unfortunately, last ti when we finally had the chance, you had to leave unexpectedly. So we couldn’t have that al. I wonder if Young Master Li has ti today, perhaps we can have dinner together after the auction?"
"I’m afraid I’m not available." Li Beijue bluntly refused.
Oslo’s smile paused briefly before he quickly said, "Is that so? That’s really a pity."
He spoke of regret, yet his eyes revealed no such emotion.
Li Beijue wasn’t one to engage in circles, uninterested in continuing the charade, he stopped the man about to walk away and said, "Don’t covet things that don’t belong to you, or the outco won’t be as simple as you think!"
Oslo was quite surprised that he would suddenly say that to him, montarily stunned, but quickly realized what Li Beijue ant.
It seed Li Beijue had noticed so things.
Indeed, n of the Li family were not simple.
After a brief hesitation, he regained his composure, pretending not to understand, or perhaps implying sothing, he said, "Is that a threat?"
"Consider it a warning!" Li Beijue responded rcilessly!
