Chapter 448: Photographing Her Painting

At this time, the host walked onto the stage and asked everyone to take their seats.

Announced the official start of the auction portion of the dinner.

The first treasure to be auctioned was Xiao Lang's painting.

The host invited Lan Yu, the chairman of the charity foundation, to come on stage to unveil the treasure.

The moment Lan Yu lifted the red cloth, Lin Mohan was stunned.

This is Zhuo Yining's personal portrait.

In the painting, she is sitting in a greenhouse full of blooming flowers, wearing a white gauze dress and her black hair scattered on her shoulders.

She was gazing at a black cat in her arms.

Lin Mohan was immediately attracted by the painting.

The starting price is not expensive, only 100,000.

He quickly handed the cards to Du Yanbin who was sitting next to him and whispered, "Take this painting."

Du Yanbin glanced at him, smiled meaningfully, and said, "Okay."

As soon as the host announced the start of bidding, Du Yanbin raised the sign and shouted, "Two hundred thousand."

Initially, the others weren't very interested, but his interest suddenly doubled, and the others started shouting as well.

In just two minutes, the bid went from one hundred thousand to one million.

Du Yanbin began to get nervous. He turned to look at Lin Mohan, who was staring at the painting on the stage without blinking.

At this time, someone called out a price of 1.2 million.

Du Yanbin didn't know whether to follow or not.

Hesitant.

When the host shouted out one million and two hundred thousand for the second time, Lin Mohan suddenly snatched the sign from Du Yanbin's hand.

He raised his hand and shouted in a deep voice: "Two million."

The next second, the whole audience was in an uproar.

Everyone who knew Zhuo Yining had their eyes fixed on her.

Zhuo Yining's face was burning red.

Fortunately, no one followed suit this time. After calling out three times, the host announced that the painting was won by Lin Mohan.

Du Yanbin laughed dryly and whispered, "You are really amazing. You spent two million to buy a painting like this."

Lin Mohan ignored Du Yanbin. His eyes fell on Zhuo Yining.

The other party happened to look at him.

Their eyes met, and ripples appeared in both of them.

Zhuo Yining nodded slightly to him to show her gratitude.

Lin Mohan smiled back.

The auction lasted for an hour, and Lin Mohan later bought a jade bracelet for 1.5 million.

The highest auction price was won by Gu Yunchi.

He bought a set of emerald jewelry for 10 million yuan and gave it to his wife Lan Yu.

Lu Yinan and Lu Chengfeng, father and son, also bought jewelry to give to their wives.

Lan Yu specially prepared a lot of jewelry for this auction, and all of them were sold off.

After the auction, it is time for free communication.

The guests gathered in groups of three or five to chat.

Xiao Lang took Zhuo Yining to toast Lin Mohan, "Mr. Lin, thank you for your support. I'll toast you. I'll drink it."

Lin Mohan raised his glass and clinked it with Xiao Lang's, "I like Mr. Xiao's paintings very much, and I am very lucky to have taken a picture of it."

Xiao Lang drank the wine in the glass and said, "It is my honor to be appreciated by Mr. Lin."

He turned his head to glance at Zhuo Yining and said, "Mr. Lin, can you help me take care of Yining? I'm going to say hello to my friends."

Lin Mohan was stunned for a moment, "Of course, Mr. Xiao, please do as you wish."

Seeing Xiao Lang turn around and leave, Du Yanbin also found an excuse to slip away, giving Lin Mohan and Zhuo Yining a chance to be alone.

Zhuo Yining's heart was already beating fast, but she tried her best to remain calm on the surface.

She raised her glass to Lin Mohan and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lin, for supporting my sister's charity."

Lin Mohan clinked his glasses with hers. "As I should, Yun Chi helped me a lot. However, I took this picture not because of them, but because of you."

"I took this picture because the person in the painting is you."

He spoke his mind in one go.

Zhuo Yining's face turned even redder. She lowered her head in embarrassment, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"By the way, Miss Zhuo," Lin Mohan was also trying to find a topic.

"After drinking your Chinese medicine, my sleep has improved a lot recently. Now I can fall asleep quickly and my appetite is much better."

Zhuo Yining smiled and said, "That's good. Come to me again after you finish drinking it. You will feel better if you insist on drinking it for three courses."

Lin Mohan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll come to you after I finish drinking. Thank you for troubling you, Miss Zhuo."

Zhuo Yining: "Mr. Lin, you're too polite."

Gu Meichan and Lan Yu stood not far away, secretly observing the movements of Lin Mohan and Zhuo Yining.

Gu Meichan leaned close to Lan Yu's ear and whispered, "It looks like this is a done deal. We should be able to drink at their wedding soon."

Lan Yu breathed a sigh of relief, "It should be a sure thing."

At this time, Xiao Lang ran behind the two of them and said with a smile: "Two beautiful sisters, is my mission completed?"

Gu Meichan turned around and patted Xiao Lang, "Young man, good job."

Xiao Lang chuckled, "Mr. Lin must like Yining. I can tell from his eyes. Hehe, I didn't expect him to be willing to spend so much money to buy my painting. The painting is not worth that much money at all."

Gu Meichan: "You are wrong. Whether it is worth it or not depends on the buyer. If the buyer thinks it is worth it, then it is worth it."

Xiao Lang: "I'm worried that Director Lin won't return the goods when he comes back."

Gu Meichan: "How is that possible? This is money donated to our charity foundation, not for you personally."

Xiao Lang: "I'm worried because this is a donation."

Gu Meichan: "Don't worry, he is the chairman of a large group. Donating this little money is nothing. Look at our Yun Chi, he has donated 80 million including auctions and donations."

Xiao Lang: "Director Gu is still awesome."

On the other side, Du Yanbin was strolling alone in the banquet hall and met several familiar rich ladies.

After having two drinks with them, I continued to stroll around the venue.

It turned out that a woman gave Lu Si Ning two blue cocktails.

The woman said something to Lu Si Ning.

Lu Si Ning took the two cocktails, hesitated for a moment, turned around, walked through the crowd, and walked towards Lan Yu.

Du Yanbin always felt something was wrong, so he followed.

Lu Si Ning came to Lan Yu with two glasses of wine in her hands, "Sister, can I have a toast to you?"

Lan Yu replied generously, "Okay, I have to thank you and Yueyue. You two helped me a lot. Didn't you two say you liked the new bag from Brand A?"

"I ordered one for each of you, and it will arrive in a few days."

When Lu Si Ning heard this, her heart surged and her throat choked.

She sniffed and forced a smile, "Thank you, sister."

Lan Yu stretched out his hand, ready to take the wine from Lu Si Ning's hand.

Lu Si Ning suddenly changed her mind and handed the glass of wine in her right hand to Lan Yu.

Lan Yu was stunned for a moment, took the wine, clinked glasses with Lu Si Ning, and said, "Cheers."

She drank the wine in her glass first.

Lu Si Ning looked at the glass of wine in his left hand, was silent for a moment, and drank it all in one gulp.

After drinking, she smiled bitterly and said, "Sister, I'm a little tired. I'll go back to my room to rest first."

Lan Yu nodded, "Okay, where's Yueyue?"

Lu Si Ning: "She is with Mr. Chen, and Mr. Chen will take care of her."

Lan Yu: "Okay, then you go back to your room and rest first. You can stay here tonight and go back with Yueyue tomorrow."

Lu Si Ning nodded, turned and left.

She felt her body getting hotter and her heartbeat getting faster, so she quickened her pace.
