Love Affairs in Melbourne-Chapter 223 - 220: Elder Sister’s Stupidity

"Wow, isn’t this the legendary ’a person can change completely in just three days’? Didn’t you say you hadn’t left Vanke? When did you change jobs?" After being hit by Jiao Zhifei’s words, Yan Yan was more concerned about Jiao Zhifei’s job than about Fashion Week.

The Four Fashion Weeks—if Yan Yan really wanted to go, she would definitely find a way, and it wasn’t just through London Graduate Fashion Week.

As for her younger brother, if he started being "dramatic" at work, who knew how long he would keep it up.

Yan Yan would rather not go to GFW than have Jiao Zhifei, who had just quietened down, walk down an endless road of drama again.

"I didn’t change jobs, man. We’re in real estate; our local partners have to be the big companies here.

The sponsor for this year’s London Graduate Fashion Week is one of the partners on the project I’m handling.

One more person or one less doesn’t really matter; it’s just a word from the sponsors.

I had asked our partners for you before, Fashion Week really lacks funds due to its influence, so the sponsors’ words are more powerful than anything else," Jiao Zhifei quickly regained his ground.

"Uh... Shouldn’t you have told me about this kind of thing a bit earlier?" Yan Yan didn’t know quite how to describe her younger brother.

"How would I know you’re so weak that you couldn’t even get an invite to GFW?" Jiao Zhifei’s tone was still very cheerful, being able to tease his Old Sister at a time like this.

"The weaker I am, shouldn’t you have told me even earlier?" Yan Yan didn’t want to analyze with Jiao Zhifei why she hadn’t received an entry ticket for the newly added Fashion Week by her school; instead, she pointed out the flaw in Jiao Zhifei’s logic. freēwēbnovel.com

"I was afraid you’re too dumb to understand, so I especially came to Italy to tell you," Jiao Zhifei continued his teasing.

"If I’m so dumb that it’s got to that point, what difference does it make whether you come to Italy to tell me or not?" Yan Yan continued to point out the logical holes.

"Whether you understand or not is your business; whether I speak is mine. Do what you can, know that fate is in heaven’s hands. If Sister is dull, at least I have done my utmost," Jiao Zhifei began to speak in more refined language.

If Yan Yan hadn’t sensed his sincerity in his words, she would have already left her seat in anger.

Jiao Zhifei always had a way to talk Yan Yan, who was clearly full of apologies, into not wanting to deal with him anymore.

"Bao Ka, how long do you plan to stay in Italy this time?" Yan Yan decided it was better to chat with someone else.

"I’m leaving in a couple of days. I thought you’d be bored here, but you seem quite the social butterfly. Didn’t see you with so many friends and relatives back in Melbourne, and you told me how lonely and miserable you were," Bao Bao said with a look of having been deceived.

"What social butterfly? This is Milan, not Florence. You’ll come with me to Florence in a couple of days, and you’ll see just how ’lonely and miserable’ I am," Yan Yan said truthfully, she herself was surprised by the sudden influx of people.

"Well, it depends on how well you do," Bao Bao replied with a smile.

"Yeah, Bao Ka is the best, unlike others who come and go in a hurry and even made me rush to Milan for a limited time," Yan Yan said with a double meaning and then looked at her cousin.

"You think I want to rush around like this? Why don’t we swap then? You go manage the shoe factory, and I’ll travel around Europe, climb mountains, play in water, and seek enlightenment?" Yan Ling offered a series of questions in a very gentlemanly tone.

Yan Ling was rather envious of his cousin. If it weren’t for his dream of taking Chinese manufacturing global, he wouldn’t have had any interest in taking over the family business.

"Lulu, lalala," Yan Yan said, "It’s not me who’s stopping you from traveling; you just don’t have a wife.

Find yourself a wife, and Aunt and Uncle would give you at least two months of honeymoon leave.

Not to mention traveling Europe; I bet they wouldn’t stop you even if you wanted to go to Antarctica to watch penguins." Yan Yan brought up an inconvenient truth.

"Ey, right, I forgot about that. Didn’t you say you wanted to introduce me to Bao Bao’s sister?" Yan Ling looked at Yan Yan and Bao Bao.

"That’s happening?" Bao Bao heard about it for the first time.

"Wow, Bao Bao, even my cousin is attracted to the beauty of your sister, truly a fair face that makes the world shake," Yan Yan continued to put on a good show in front of Bao Bao.

"Cousin, have you seen my sister?" Bao Bao was somewhat confused.

"Seen your sister? No way, how could my brother randomly meet Sister Meina?" Yan Yan shook her head and waved her hands.

"Then what are you saying about a famous beauty?" Bao Bao couldn’t stand Yan Yan’s non sequiturs.

"I was talking about your family, not your sister; ’a famous beauty,’ just looking at you is enough, no need for Sister Meina to step into the field," Yan Yan touched Bao Bao’s face while talking about beauty.

Bao Bao, with a disgusted look, pushed away Yan Yan’s hand: "Can’t you stay two meters away from me?"

"I can." Yan Yan said and indeed stood up and sat down in an empty seat next to Yan Ling.

Now, Yan Yan’s seat was farther from Bao Bao, and even farther from Qi Yi, signaling a silent protest against Qi Yi’s recent stealthy move on her.

Back in New York, Yan Yan indeed owed Qi Yi a "public" kiss at Rockefeller Center.

But at such a "serious" dinner table, to act with such audacity without cooling down a bit would definitely encourage someone’s arrogant momentum.

"Bro, what kind of meeting did you come to Milan for? I hadn’t heard you mention it before, and suddenly you said you were coming?" Now Yan Yan finally had time to care about Yan Ling’s purpose of the visit.

"I came to meet Allegro," Yan Ling gave a very straightforward answer.

"Ah, ah, ah, Bro, this isn’t like you—despite everything, you still deny it? You’re still coveting Sister Meina; my brother’s character shouldn’t be like this!" Yan Yan showed a shocked face and made a gesture of disdain.

"Hmm, what other opinions do you have about me? Would you like to finish them all at once, or not?" Yan Ling smiled gently, gesturing for Yan Yan to continue.

"Finish? Maybe not—

Cousin, I think about how it’s not easy for you; after the former cousin-in-law left you, I haven’t heard you mention taking an interest in anyone else.

I should just stop here lest you accuse me, a loner, of wanting to drag me back to run the shoe factory.

My cousin coming to Milan to meet with an old flame isn’t some unpardonable sin.

I, as your cousin, can still understand," Yan Yan said she understood, but her tone was full of teasing.
