Chapter 105 The auction – she didn't show up!

Time flies, and the weekend is here in the blink of an eye.

The highly anticipated Platinum Auction, attracting a gathering of elites, will be held at 7:00 PM tonight at the Beijing International Convention and Exhibition Center.

A month before the auction opened, major media platforms had already begun promoting it, and a week in advance, online celebrity inspectors appeared, so the pre-auction publicity was quite effective.

Tonight, Beijing will surely be filled with tycoons, celebrities, and superstars!

Although she had promised Xie Jinghuai that she would accompany him to the event that evening, Jiang Shiyuan spent the entire day living at her own pace without any haste or concern.

In the evening, Jiang Shiyuan accompanied Ye Yu to the police station to report for duty.

Although Ye Yu was released on bail, he still had to go to the police station every day to report and summarize, so he was still a criminal and had not fully regained his freedom.

"Ah Yuan, thank you for making the special trip. It's too much trouble for you." As the two came out of the police station, Ye Yu looked at his beloved younger sister and felt a pang of sadness.

Jiang Shiyuan shook her head slightly, her eyes dimming. "Senior brother, this matter was caused by me. I can't just sit idly by. I will do my best to help you solve this problem."

"Ah Yuan, it's not your fault!"

Ye Yu felt a stab to the heart, his sharp eyes reddening. "I've wanted to beat that bastard Jing Huai to a pulp for a long time. I've vented my anger, and I don't regret it at all!"

Xiao Qi sighed behind his back, "That guy beat you so badly you couldn't get out of bed for days, and the law firm was almost ruined. You're just swallowing your pride."

Ye Yu raised an eyebrow and shouted, "Xiao Qi, if you say another word of nonsense, I'll transfer you to a law firm tomorrow, and you can forget about following me!"

Xiao Qi pleaded, "Mr. Ye, you're the only true god in the legal profession in my heart! I won't go anywhere else but here with you!"

"Xiao Qi, don't worry, Dingming won't fail."

Jiang Shiyuan's eyes were gentle yet firm. "Your CEO Ye's troubles will soon be over. After tonight, he will be cleared of all wrongdoing."

Xiao Qi: "Miss Jiang, how can you be so sure?"

Ye Yu, quick-witted, instantly realized something and stared intently at Jiang Shiyuan's calm face:

"Ah Yuan, I can handle my own affairs. You just stay here and don't worry about me. Don't go looking for Xie Jinghuai or Shen Zhantang for me!"

Xiao Qi: "Yes, yes, yes! We'd rather die than be slaves of a conquered nation!"

Ye Yu sighed, wishing he could take off his socks and stuff them into the child's mouth!

Jiang Shiyuan's voice remained gentle and soft, "Don't worry, senior brother, I know what I'm doing."

It was getting late, and the streetlights were just coming on.

Ye Yu suggested having dinner with Jiang Shiyuan, but she politely declined.

"Senior, I have something to do and can't have dinner with you. Maybe next time."

"Then I'll take you back..."

"I'm driving, I can get back by myself."

Ye Yu was reluctant to part with him, but he couldn't force him to stay. "When you get home, send your senior brother a WeChat message."

Yes, I will.

After saying goodbye to them, Jiang Shiyuan left in a hurry.

As Ye Yu watched her retreating figure, a vague unease stirred within him.

Seeing that Ye Yu was turning into a "wife-waiting stone," Xiao Qi couldn't help but speak up:

"Your Majesty, I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should..."

Ye Yu stared straight ahead without blinking, "Then don't say anything."

Xiao Qi said, "In the workplace, you are decisive and domineering. But when you're in front of Ms. Jiang, you become like a wilted eggplant, without any of your usual boldness."

Ye Yu pursed his lips, his eyes filled with bitterness.

"Women don't love bad boys! You must be able to govern the country with your pen and dominate other men's wives with your martial prowess! Can you be a little more direct? Your humble servant is getting so anxious!"

"Go to the toilet if you need to, don't ramble on and on here."

Ye Yu's eyes flickered, and his voice was slightly hoarse, "I am A Yuan's brother. My feelings for her are more familial."

Besides, liking someone doesn't necessarily mean you have to possess them. I'm already very content that I can see her and take care of her as often as I am now.

...

Seeing that time was running out, Jiang Shiyuan did not go home, but instead drove alone to the auction venue.

She made no attempt to appear serious, still dressed in simple sportswear, completely disregarding the event.

To be honest, she was somewhat looking forward to it.

When Xie Jinghuai saw her in such an unpresentable state, how should he introduce her and address her in front of so many celebrities?

Most likely, they will pretend to be stupid, blind, or not recognize you.

She has experienced living air countless times over the past five years and is very experienced.

A black Ferrari sped along the night road.

Ahead, at the empty intersection, the green light is flashing.

To avoid waiting at a light, Jiang Shiyuan floored the accelerator and sped through the yellow light in the last second.

Just then, she felt a blinding, cold white light flash from the side.

Jiang Shiyuan frowned and subconsciously glanced to the side—

The next second, her breath hitched, and cold sweat soaked her back!

Her knuckles turned white as she gripped the steering wheel tightly, trying to turn the wheel around, but it was too late.

Suddenly, a van, like a mad dog, charged straight at her!

Bang--!

A deafening roar shook the sky, which resembled a black sea.

All the windshields shattered, and Jiang Shiyuan felt dizzy and disoriented, as if his internal organs were shaking.

After a moment of excruciating pain, she completely lost consciousness.

...

7:00 PM.

Outside the international convention and exhibition center, a long red carpet was lined with reporters, onlookers, and many celebrity fans.

The grand and solemn scene was comparable to Cannes.

Celebrities and socialites began to enter the venue one after another.

However, the handsome and impeccably dressed Xie Jinghuai remained seated in his Rolls-Royce.

He frequently glanced at his watch, his gloomy gaze occasionally drifting out the car window.

"Jiang Shiyuan, what kind of tantrum is she throwing now? Why hasn't she shown up yet?"

Han Xu was getting a little anxious as they were about to enter. "Mr. Xie, why don't you call your wife and ask her where she is?"

Xie Jinghuai narrowed his eyes slightly, his thin lips cold and sharp, "Why would I call her? It makes it seem like I'm in a hurry to see her."

"What if something happens on the way..."

"It's only seven o'clock, not the middle of the night. She's a grown woman, what could possibly happen to her?"

Xie Jinghuai raised his hand and tightened the Windsor knot at his collar, his pupils darkening. "Wait five more minutes. If you don't come, I'll go in myself."

I've already given her a chance, and since she doesn't cherish it, then she shouldn't blame her unlucky senior brother for having bad luck.

I thought their love was unbreakable, but it turns out it's nothing special.

At this moment, the man's emotions were in turmoil, and his handsome and aloof face was reflected in the dark glass window.

Jiang Shiyuan agreed to his request, but then didn't come. Perhaps she had given up on getting Ye Yu back.

But then she thought, would she rather give up Ye Yu than stand shoulder to shoulder with him in public as husband and wife?

At this point in his thoughts, Xie Jinghuai felt short of breath again.

Hidden within the beating heart, beneath the soft flesh, a blood vessel silently burst.

Thump thump thump—

The window of the Rolls-Royce was knocked.

Xie Jinghuai snapped out of his reverie and coldly lifted his eyes.

He paused for a moment upon seeing the beautiful woman with a slender figure and waist-length hair standing outside the car, then immediately opened the car door:

"Zhixin? What are you doing here?"
