Chapter 607: The Third Young Master of the Kong Family

Soon, a young man in bright clothes walked in, surrounded by the Song family.

Song Rongyu and his father, Song Song Song Tianming, followed the young man left and right, appearing very diligent.

Old Master Song and Song Song Wanting also followed, but Song Song Wanting's expression was slightly cold.

Ye Chen looked at the young man, who was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with a very arrogant expression.

Chen Chen Zekai on the side said indifferently, "I think this third young master of the Kong family feels like a dragon coming to a fish pond. He certainly wouldn't think that you, the true dragon, are living in this small fish pond in Jin Ling."

Ye Chen smiled slightly and didn't comment on his words.

In fact, Ye Chen didn't care about others putting on airs in front of him.

No matter how big others put on airs, that's their own business. As long as they don't provoke him, he's too lazy to care about them.

There were bursts of exclamations in the crowd. No one expected that the third young master of the Kong family would really come.

Among them, there were many "loser" families who wanted to build a relationship with the Kong family. They looked at the third young master of the Kong family as if they were greedy cats seeing meat.

The Song family accompanied the third young master of the Kong family into the banquet hall. Old Master Song took the lead and brought him to Ye Chen, respectfully introducing Ye Chen, "Third Young Master, this is the famous Master Ye Chen, Master Ye, from Jin Ling. He is my savior and, like you, is a young talent and a dragon among men."

The third young master of the Kong family glanced at Ye Chen and felt that this kid didn't look like anything special, and his dress was nothing more than an ordinary person.

The third young master of the Kong family wanted to mock Ye Chen contemptuously, but unexpectedly, he caught a glimpse of Chen Chen Zekai.

The third young master of the Kong family naturally knew Chen Chen Zekai. After all, Chen

Moreover, the Ye family's influence was far, far stronger than the Kong family's; even the Kong family was eager to curry favor with the Ye family, so he was startled when he saw Chen Chen Zekai here.

Afterward, he looked at Ye Chen again and suddenly felt that since Chen Chen Zekai was here and this kid was also surnamed Ye, could he be a young master of the Ye family?

Thinking of this, the third young master of the Kong family said politely to Ye Chen: "Oh, so it is Young Master Ye, I have long admired you. Some time ago, I wanted to pay a visit to the Ye family, but I never managed to do so. I didn't expect to see you here, Young Master."

Ye Chen smiled indifferently and said: "This gentleman must have mistaken me for someone else. I am not a young master of the Ye family; I just happen to have the surname Ye."

The third young master of the Kong family hurriedly looked at Chen Chen Zekai and asked with some respect: "Mr. Chen, you are a member of the Ye family. Is this not a young master of the Ye family?"

Chen Chen Zekai laughed: "You also heard Master Ye say it; he just happens to have the surname Ye."

The third young master of the Kong family nodded, and when he looked at Ye Chen, his eyes were already filled with a bit of disdain.

A so-called "Master Ye" of no consequence, yet he dared to be mentioned in the same breath as him? What was he worth?

Thinking of this, he couldn't be bothered to pay attention to Ye Chen anymore. He cupped his hands toward Chen Chen Zekai and smiled: "I didn't expect Mr. Chen to be here today. I was actually planning to pay a visit to the Buckingham Palace tomorrow."

Chen Chen Zekai said calmly: "You are too polite, Third Young Master. I wonder what brings you to Jin Ling?"

The third young master of the Kong family glanced at Song Song Wanting and said with a smile: "My younger sister and Miss Song Wanting were classmates abroad. This time, I came to Jin Ling originally to discuss some cooperation with the old master of the Song family. I had planned to come in a couple of days, but I heard today was Miss Song Wanting's birthday, so I came early."

As he spoke, he took a very exquisite gift box from his pocket. After opening it, a sparkling ruby necklace was revealed inside. He said to Song Song Wanting: "Miss Song Wanting, I chose this necklace for you personally. It is inlaid with a natural ruby from Africa."

Everyone looked into the box one after another, only to see an incomparably exquisite necklace inside, inlaid with a crystal-clear ruby about the size of an egg.

Many people present could not help but exclaim in surprise.

Everyone there was knowledgeable and knew that this kind of ruby was worth a fortune.

Seeing that everyone was stunned by his ruby necklace, the third young master of the Kong family smiled triumphantly and said: "Miss Song Wanting should also know that rubies are the most expensive of all gemstones. The international public price is tens of thousands of dollars per carat. Especially for a ruby as pure as this one—and it is a full 26 carats—I also found the best chief jewelry master at Tiffany to polish this stone by hand and complete the setting. The price of this piece alone exceeds 20 million US dollars. I hope Miss Song Wanting likes it."

Many people were so envious that their eyeballs were about to fall out.

To receive a gift worth 20 million US dollars just for a birthday was simply inconceivable.

However, Song Song Wanting seemed completely uninterested in this necklace. She said with a calm expression: "Third Young Master, this necklace is truly too precious. I cannot accept it."

"Why can't you accept it?" the third young master of the Kong family said with a smile: "It's just a necklace. To our Kong family, it's nothing more than a drop in the bucket. I also felt that this necklace really suits Miss Song Wanting's temperament, which is why I bought it specifically for you. So, Miss Song Wanting, you don't need to be polite with me; just accept it."

Song Song Wanting declined earnestly: "Young Master, you are too kind. As the saying goes, one should not accept a reward without merit. How can I accept such a precious gift from you for no reason? I appreciate your kind intentions, but please take this necklace back."

The expression of the third young master of the Kong family turned somewhat gloomy, and he asked her: "Miss Song, why must you and I be so polite? This visit is not only for your birthday but also to engage in deep cooperation with your Song family. If you are this polite from the start, how can this cooperation proceed?"

Song Rongyu, who was on the side, hurriedly said: "Song Wanting, what are you thinking? Third Young Master gave you such a good gift; how can you neglect his painstaking efforts? Hurry up and accept it!"

Song Rongyu's father, Song Song Song Tianming, also nodded repeatedly: "Song Wanting, look for yourself; who would give such a generous gift on a birthday? Only Third Young Master would be so generous."

Song Song Wanting said stubbornly: "I know Third Young Master's gift is very generous, and I am very grateful, but I truly cannot accept such a precious gift. Please forgive me, Third Young Master. This is a matter of my personal principles, not because I have any objections to you or this necklace. Please do not misunderstand."

At this moment, Old Master Song also came out to smooth things over: "Third Young Master, this gift of yours is indeed too precious. It is normal for Song Wanting to feel embarrassed to accept it. Please forgive her."

The third young master of the Kong family frowned and asked: "Old Master Song, do you and Miss Song Wanting look down on me, or do you look down on our Kong family?"
