The people who came to the exhibition today were either wearing haute couture or new products that have not yet been publicly released that season. Although the man who asked the question was also dressed up carefully, he was wearing last year's style.

This is enough to show that his family's assets are one level lower than those of these guests.

When the other guests saw him, although they did not show obvious contempt, they were certainly not attentive and just smiled and nodded politely as a greeting.

Jiang Ruochu recognized the man. His name was Yue Chengcheng. His family had also donated an auction item, so it was natural for him to get the admission ticket to the charity auction.

In the early years, the Yue family's situation was similar to that of the Gu family, and they were even old friends. Unfortunately, his father's generation later stood on the wrong side, lost power, and failed in business. Their current development situation is completely inferior to that of the Gu family.

Later, the Yue family moved to Victoria Harbour. Because they arrived late, their family was out of tune with the local wealthy families.

Therefore, the Yue family is a family that has always been on the edge of the mainstream wealthy circle in Victoria Harbour.

Of course, in a family like this, even a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

The money and inheritance his family has saved are enough for him to spend for several lifetimes.

Normally, Yue Xiangcheng seldom interacted with the descendants of these big families. Instead, he got along better with some wealthy people who had recently immigrated here.

"Mr. Yue." Jiang Ruochu reminded him with a polite smile, "There are some taboos, so we should respect them."

Yue Xiangcheng was stunned. He probably didn't expect Jiang Ruchu to call out his name.

He always thought that people like him whose family had long been in decline would not be taken seriously by others. At auctions before, there were many cases where he greeted people but the other party could not call out his name.

This kind of thing is actually very disgusting when you first encounter it, but it will pass after you digest it.

Until today, when Yue Xiangcheng met Gu Dongfeng and saw that the former second-generation rich man had changed his character and was praised by many people, and thought of his family's former glory, the balance in Yue Xiangcheng's heart became unbalanced, so he couldn't help but say that Gu Dongfeng was possessed.

"I'm not a local of Victoria Harbour, so I don't have as many rules as they do. Miss Jiang didn't deny it, so she admitted it?"

Without waiting for Jiang Ruochu to answer, Gu Dongfeng rushed out instead.

"Yue Xiangcheng!"

"When I'm not around, you make up stories about me, right? And you even say I'm possessed by evil spirits. I think you're the one possessed."

Yue Xiangcheng's face turned sour in an instant, and then he snorted heavily.

"You think you can just hum." Gu Dongfeng also snorted heavily.

The others wanted to laugh when they saw the two people quarreling but didn't dare to. Perhaps it was because it was rare to see them quarreling so directly and openly. They usually didn't like each other but were too embarrassed to quarrel with each other. After all, they saw each other every day.

At this time, a young lady saw that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so she changed the subject and asked, "Miss Jiang, have you and Master Ye encountered any... um, ghost-like things? Why don't you tell us about it?"

"Yes, yes, I also bought Master Ye's protective stone." Another young lady said and raised her hand to show the protective stone in her hand.

When Jiang Ruochu saw that everyone was looking at her eagerly, she felt that it was time to use her ability to make up stories.

"You probably don't know the people and things I encountered, so there's no point in telling you about them. But you might be more interested in something I encountered recently, because you all know this person."

Jiang Ruochu's words really whetted everyone's appetite, and they asked urgently, "What's the matter?"

"As soon as I arrived at Victoria Harbour last night, I dreamed of Fu Yanxi."

When everyone heard the name, they looked at each other in surprise.

"Why...did you dream about him?"

"Ah... How is he now?" The person who asked this question swallowed nervously, "Is he dead or alive?"

After Fu Yanxi disappeared, the police couldn't find him.

The Fu family had no choice but to seek help from many masters of metaphysics. These masters spoke in a mysterious way. Some said that Fu Yanxi's fate with the Fu family had ended and he had been taken away by the gods; others said that he ran away from home for a shocking love.

In fact, there are still some rumors outside.

For example, it is said that when the Fu family’s development stagnated, they secretly sacrificed their son in exchange for their own development.

There are also people saying that Fu Yanxi believed in the evil god and followed the evil god. The reason is that a young master once mentioned Fu Yanxi's name and fell seriously ill the next day. This was because he offended the evil god Fu Yanxi.

It was precisely because of these strange rumors that everyone had particularly strange expressions when they heard Fu Yanxi's name.

But even strange emotions come in many different flavors.

Jiang Ruochu had been observing the expressions of the people present. Most of them looked surprised and stunned, yet also vaguely curious.

Only Yue Xiangcheng glanced to the side, seeming a little nervous.

Jiang Ruochu had a goal in mind. She continued, "It wasn't very clear in the dream. He seemed to have something to say to me..."

"I listened carefully several times and finally heard what he was saying..." Jiang Ruochu deliberately lowered his voice and said in a hoarse voice, "My head... my head... hurts..."

"Ah!!" A timid rich girl couldn't help but scream, and everyone else was scared by her.

"Why did you suddenly scream? Are you trying to scare us to death?"

"That's right!"

The rich girl said a little aggrievedly: "I just think what Miss Jiang said is a little scary."

Another person kindly advised: "Miss Jiang, you'd better go to worship, so as not to provoke that person, you understand?"

Jiang Ruochu smiled and said, "There's nothing to worship. If you really want to worship, why not worship Master Ye next to me?"

"Oh...that's right."

Jiang Ruochu looked around again and finally set his sights on Yue Xiangcheng.

After everyone around them left, Gu Dongfeng asked cautiously, "Sister, did you really dream about Fu Yanxi?"

"Yeah, I had a dream."

Gu Dongfeng shuddered: "Actually, I'm very surprised. I didn't know him before, but since entering Victoria Harbour, I always feel familiar when I hear this name again."

Jiang Ruochu glanced at him meaningfully. In fact, Gu Dongfeng had chatted with Fu Yanxi several times in the group, so it was not a sense of déjà vu, but a real acquaintance.

"So I think his story is a bit mysterious. You have to be careful. If it doesn't work, find a real master and don't believe in shoddy stuff." Gu Dongfeng said and glanced at Ye Sha.

Ye Sha was not polite: "You don't need to worry about it."

When Jiang Ruochu saw that the two were about to quarrel again, she patted Gu Dongfeng's arm and sent him away: "Someone is calling you over there."

Gu Dongfeng looked over there, and the person over there also looked over there. When their eyes met his, they naturally greeted each other. Gu Dongfeng had to go over there anyway.

"I'll go there first."

After Gu Dongfeng left, Jiang Ruochu said, "Let's go and look for Yue Xiangcheng."

Jiang Ruochu turned around and chatted with a few rich young men who came to see her for a while, and finally saw Yue Xiangcheng. At this time, he was standing under the portrait of an angel, with his hands clasped together, as if praying sincerely.

Jiang Ruochu said goodbye to these rich young men, then slowly walked to Yue Xiangcheng.

"Mr. Yue is more interested in Western paintings?"

Yue Xiangcheng was startled, but he quickly calmed down and said, "I was just looking around. I'm not interested in it."

"When I mentioned Fu Yanxi just now, Mr. Yue seemed particularly nervous?"
