After Bankruptcy, the Billionaire Asked Me to Marry Him!
Chapter 144 Where Exactly Is She Arrogant?

Chapter 144: Chapter 144 Where Exactly Is She Arrogant?

Ye Li walked into Forever, and there were only a few customers in the hall.

A man and woman, who appeared to be a newlywed couple preparing for their marriage.

There were also two other girls, seemingly best friends.

Behind the counter, a clerk wearing a black uniform and white gloves was helping them try on selected jewelry.

Thinking that Fu Yanci had not yet arrived, Ye Li headed straight for the bespoke counter and admired Forever’s newly released designs by the master designers.

A work of the master’s hand, extraordinary indeed.

Her mind, fuzzy from a high fever for a few days, was like a dark night sky that got lit up star after star as she viewed those pieces in the display window.

As she heard laughter, Ye Li was intently staring at a set of jewelry.

A bracelet intertwined with dark green gemstones.

Matching necklace and earrings.

At a glance, it was as if she saw a beautiful South Chinese woman in a green cheongsam, carrying a plain white paper umbrella by the West Lake.

The umbrella was so low it obscured the beauty’s face, revealing only a fair part of her chin and the hint of green dangling from her wrist as she held the umbrella.

Deepl and elegant.

Just like the dark green bracelet in the display window.

"Isn’t that just what they say about times changing, Ye Li, now you can only look."

"Well, yes... But Ye Li, I really admire you, if my family went bankrupt, I wouldn’t have the courage to walk into Forever to admire jewelry."

The way she emphasized "admire" sounded particularly intentional, as if she was sure Ye Li couldn’t afford to buy.

Ye Li turned around and saw two faces with bright smiles that belonged to internet celebrities.

The one in the white mink coat looked somewhat familiar, probably named Fang Zixuan, a minor celebrity from the Zhou Hecchen family’s company; unfortunately, despite spending a lot of money to promote her, she failed to make a splash and fizzled out of the trending searches soon after.

Ye Li had met her once at a party in the presidential suite atop a high-rise, speaking in an oddly sarcastic tone.

One could tell from the expressions of those around that Fang Zixuan harbored feelings for Zhou Hecchen, but sadly for her, he was engaged, and since the Ye Family and the Zhou Family were well-matched, she could only vent by making snide remarks.

The other woman was Chen Qiyue, the young lady of the wealthy Chen Family.

Rumors were circulating in the circle that there was a planned marriage between the Qin family and the Chen family, the intended match being Chen Qiyue and Qin Yuchen, the eldest son of the Qin family.

Because of this, whenever they met at grand banquets, Chen Qiyue always liked to indirectly mock Qin Chu, as if that would make Qin Yuchen see her in a new light.

"Ms. Fang, are you the owner of Forever?"

Ye Li slowly straightened up and asked.

Fang Zixuan was momentarily stunned, embarrassment flashing in her eyes, "No."

"Then, a shareholder?"

"Not that either."

"Well, that’s curious..."

Ye Li looked perplexed, "The clerks at Forever haven’t told me that I can’t admire the jewelry here. If you’re neither the owner nor a shareholder, why do you care so much?"

"You..."

Fang Zixuan’s face fell, staring at Ye Li’s face as if she wanted to claw it apart, "Ye Li, I respected you before out of regard for Mr. Zhou. Now, you are no longer Mrs. Zhou or the young lady of the Ye family. What makes you so arrogant?"

Ye Li: ...

Who could tell her where she was being arrogant?

Not wanting to deal with someone who couldn’t speak politely, Ye Li turned around and resumed examining the details of the jewelry she hadn’t finished looking at.

Behind her, Chen Qiyue patted Fang Zixuan’s hand to calm her down and then glanced at the clerk standing next door to Ye Li, "That ’Green Waist’ set, pack it up for me."

"Sure, one moment please..."

The clerk nodded, directly opened the display case, and took out the dark green jewelry set that Ye Li was intently viewing.

Ye Li’s eyes brightened.

Green Waist.

The name was well chosen!

Turning back around, Ye Li caught Chen Qiyue’s triumphant look.
