After Jiang Anqing was hospitalized, the hospital's experts immediately conducted a joint review.
Because of her poor health and complicated condition, the trial has been going on for several days without a result.
Xiang Jin brings Jiang Anqing meals every day, talks to her, massages her, and occasionally mentions her childhood, always with a warm and harmonious atmosphere and smiles.
Xiang Jin was exceptionally happy during those days.
She would be even happier if Jiang Anqing could recover.
She knew she shouldn't be too greedy. Now that she had her freedom and a mother, she still wanted more, which was already a bit too much. But—she had never felt much warmth in her life, and this time, she hoped that God would be kind to her.
Seriously, just this once.
Back at the villa that evening, she carefully considered something.
"I want to resign," she texted Bai Ningshuang.
Bai Ningshuang: "No, Ah Jin, is Master Xiao moving so fast? He's pregnant again?"
Xiang Jin: "What nonsense are you talking about? My mother is in poor health. Every day she is alive is a blessing from God. I want to quit my job and spend more time with her."
Bai Ningshuang: "It's not impossible. But your job is quite good. Hasn't Actor Xu always admired you? Even though you took a long leave, he has kept your position. You won't regret resigning?"
Xiang Jin: "Yes, but I know what's more important to me."
Bai Ningshuang: "Okay, I'll support whatever decision you make after you've thought it through."
After hanging up the phone, she saw that Wen Yufan had sent her a message.
"Miss Jin, there's a charity auction next Sunday on the third floor of Shengshi Century. It's an important auction hosted by Hengjia, and most of the nobles in Huadu will be attending. Would you be interested in coming and watching?" Wen Yufan sent over the auction information and details of the rare items to be auctioned.
Xiang Jin took a look and was surprised to find that her painting "Light" was among the items, with a starting bid of six million!
Are these people crazy?
"Can I just look without taking pictures?" Xiang Jin asked.
“Of course, we invited you here so you can witness the miracles that ‘Light’ will create. That way, you’ll feel more comfortable entrusting your work to us in the future, right?” Wen Yufan smiled back. “Also, the founder of Hengjia would like to meet you.”
Xiang Jin thought for a moment and replied, "Okay, I will definitely be there on time."
The founder of Hengjia must be a very influential figure. If I want to get along well with people in this industry in the future, I can't avoid them. Getting to know them in advance can only be beneficial.
but--
She's not very good at handling these kinds of business occasions and is having a bit of a headache. It would be great if Shuangshuang were here, as these kinds of occasions usually allow you to bring a companion.
She sent a message to Bai Ningshuang.
Bai Ningshuang rolled her eyes: "Big sister, why don't you just ask your husband? Is there any situation he can't handle?"
Xiang Jin: "I wouldn't dare. Never mind."
Bai Ningshuang: "There's one more person who can help you."
Xiang Jin: "Who?"
Bai Ningshuang: "Sun Yanqing."
Xiang Jin thought about it and realized that this was indeed a good helper. The Sun family was already in high society, and Yan Qing had been exposed to such things since childhood. What was there that he didn't understand? Besides, given their relationship, they weren't afraid of being misunderstood if they were taken out together.
Very good, perfect.
Xiang Jin immediately sent a message to Sun Yanqing, expecting him to hesitate, but to her surprise, he readily replied with "OK".
Yes, the matter is resolved, resolved perfectly, she smiled with satisfaction.
"What's got you so happy?" Murong Xiao returned from his study, wearing black-rimmed glasses and casual clothes, looking even more like a refined scoundrel. However, these glasses were no ordinary glasses; they were supposedly a gift from a business partner, a high-tech eye protection product with incredibly powerful effects.
"It's nothing, I'm going to wash up first." Xiang Jin packed up the drawing board and materials, turned around to go to the bathroom, but was pulled away by someone and fell into a broad embrace.
"Are you free on Sunday? I need a female companion for a banquet."
"Me? You want me to be your date?" The fox's eyes were full of disbelief. This was the first time he had ever invited her to attend a public event with him.
In the past, he would bring other women to such occasions, either from wealthy and noble families, or from prominent families, or from the socialites of the capital... In short, none of the women were anything but glamorous and dazzling.
And now, is he going to take her to this kind of occasion?
Does he really not mind her? Isn't he afraid that she will embarrass him?
A ripple of emotion stirred within me, a strange and inexplicable feeling of being moved.
"What, you're not happy? Xiang Jin, don't forget you're still Mrs. Murong. You have an obligation to accompany me to these kinds of occasions." Thinking that her tone indicated resistance, his expression darkened, and a hint of command appeared in his voice.
"No, no, I'm not unwilling, I just... have plans for Sunday."
Yes, she's attending a charity auction on Sunday.
"With whom? A man? What are you going there for? Are you going to drink?" The man's eyes deepened, and a dangerous aura began to linger around him.
Xiang Jin said in a serious tone: "...Murong Xiao, I have no plans to have an extramarital affair for the time being."
"Oh? So you mean you might be planning to do that in the future." The surrounding air suddenly turned cold, and an oppressive aura immediately swept over them.
"No, no, no, I have no such plans in the future." Xiang Jin was determined to survive, unless... they really got divorced.
Murong Xiao raised an eyebrow, gently kissed the corner of her lips, and released her: "Go."
Xiang Jin immediately fled.
Being with a big shot is always fraught with danger... Oh my god... But why does she seem to like this kind of life? Could she have some kind of masochistic tendency?
Not long after Xiang Jin went in, Murong Xiao also took off his glasses and followed him into the bathroom.
After a moment, the sounds inside became ambiguous.
"Murong Xiao, what are you doing... Can you not come? I'm so tired today... Jia Nian..."
Her response was that the man put in even more effort.
…………
The day of the charity auction arrived quickly.
Xiang Jin has dozens of formal dresses in her wardrobe, gifts from brands that Feng Rong collaborates with, but she has never worn them. After looking around, she couldn't decide which one looked good, so she just picked a black fitted long dress. The simple and elegant style suited her, someone who dislikes trouble.
She didn't know how to do makeup, so Sun Yanqing took her outside to get her hair and makeup done. At first glance, it was passable.
Sun Yanqing shook his head blankly.
Xiang Jin was confused: "What, doesn't it look good?"
"No, it's just that you look too good. Aren't you afraid your husband will get jealous? If it were me, I'd probably be drinking three pots of wine."
Xiang Jin: "..."
Xiang Jin didn't believe his nonsense at all; she just thought he was talking rubbish.
Fearing traffic congestion, the two timed their arrival early and arrived at the auction venue—the third floor of Shengshi Century—ahead of schedule.
Although it was a charity auction, the participants were all prominent figures in the capital, wealthy and powerful, making the venue exceptionally extravagant. Sun Yanqing pointed to items in a nearby display area, saying, "This is from the Qing Dynasty, this is from the Ming Dynasty, this calligraphy is an authentic work by Su Shi, this porcelain vase is from the Tang Dynasty..."
