Chapter 92 Reencounter with Liu Meilan and Xia Jingjing!
The beginning of the new year.
A heavy snow fell in Yancheng, and the roads became icy.
However, near a Chinese-style manor on the outskirts of Yancheng, all kinds of luxury cars are still parked, and people come and go in an endless stream.
Security at the Qin family's residence is several times tighter than before. Everyone entering the gate is strictly checked and is not allowed to bring any dangerous items.
Even the successors of some large families are subject to the same inspection process.
But no one dared to complain.
This auction is a high-end auction that only takes place once every three years in China, and the organizer is the Qin family, the most powerful family in Yancheng.
It is a great honor to be able to enter here.
Xia Yue blended into the crowd, wearing an exquisite human skin mask, and used the invitation that the Xia family had spent a lot of money to obtain to successfully enter the Qin family's old residence.
She had been here once before and seen the luxurious architecture, but the second time she entered, she was still captivated by the sight before her.
Exquisite artificial mountains, clear man-made lakes, Dali jade paving stones, priceless precious flowers and plants, and ubiquitous and strict surveillance.
Every little detail shows that she and Qin Yeting are from two different worlds.
She loves the freedom of the sky.
Qin Yeting, however, must become the master of this palace.
They can't be together.
Fortunately, she is now "dead," and Qin Yeting should have almost forgotten about her.
Xia Yue followed the crowd to the auction site.
The Qin family's old residence is very mysterious and outsiders are not allowed to visit it. Only part of the venue was opened for this auction.
Xia Yue arrived at a building with an old-fashioned exterior, but the interior was modern and brightly lit. The entire auction venue was divided into two floors.
The first floor is the general area, where Xia Yue's seat card is located.
There is another floor dedicated to private rooms, accessible only to the most distinguished VIPs.
Xia Yue only knew that Liu Meilan would be here today, but she glanced around the scene and didn't see Liu Meilan.
She then looked at the private rooms on the second floor, which had only one window showing; there were about twenty of them.
Liu Meilan was among them.
But Xia Yue didn't know which one it was.
Xia Yue clenched her fists secretly. No matter who it was, she would not let Liu Meilan go today!
So, before the auction even started, Xia Yue pretended to go to the restroom and left her seat.
She deliberately walked towards the private rooms on the second floor, but was blocked by the Qin family's bodyguards.
"I need to use the restroom, but there are no stalls available downstairs," Xia Yue said, offering a lame excuse.
"This guest, we only serve VIPs upstairs, so we're sorry we can't let you up."
"How can I get a private room?"
"Sorry, this is not within our service scope."
The Qin family's bodyguards were well-trained and didn't give Xia Yue a chance to speak.
In fact, as Xia Yue spoke a few more words, several patrolling bodyguards came over to prevent her from causing trouble.
With no other option, Xia Yue could only pretend to leave and think of another way to get up there.
But just as Xia Yue was backing away, she accidentally bumped into someone.
This person was none other than Shen Qingyun!
"I'm sorry." Xia Yue quickly lowered her head and spoke in a low voice.
"It's alright." Shen Qingyun looked a little downcast, but didn't seem to care about this little incident.
Standing next to Shen Qingyun were Shen Xiangxiang and Shang Zexi!
The bodyguards who had blocked his way immediately made way for him upon seeing Shang Zexi, and said very warmly, "Welcome, Young Master Shang."
Shang Zexi then said to Shen Xiangxiang with a grin, "Xiangxiang, the second floor has a great view, come up with me!"
Shen Xiangxiang didn't give Shang Zexi a friendly look, but the upstairs location was indeed good, so she followed Shang Zexi forward.
After taking a couple of steps, she realized that Shen Qingyun hadn't followed yet, so she came down and urged him, "Brother, it's time to go up. I know you're still thinking about Yueyue, and so am I."
But with Yueyue's fate still unknown, we can't remain immersed in grief forever. We must pull ourselves together and wait for her return!
Despite her pampered lifestyle, Shen Xiangxiang has a very strong mentality when it matters.
Xia Yue felt guilty seeing her friends upset because of her, yet she had to hide the truth from them.
She silently apologized in her heart, "Xiangxiang, Brother Shen, I'm sorry. I will definitely treat you to a big meal to make up for it after this is over."
Summer moon quietly departed.
Afterwards, Shen Qingyun and Shen Xiangxiang followed Shang Zexi upstairs to the second floor.
Xia Yue returned to her seat for the time being, her eyes fixed on the entrance on the second floor, continuing to think of a solution.
And just then, the auction began!
The first item up for auction was a traditional Chinese ink landscape painting, created by a master five hundred years ago. It was an antique, with a starting bid of one million.
Xia Yue wasn't interested in the auction items; she kept an eye on the twenty private rooms upstairs, looking for any suspicious clues.
Finally, when the seventh item up for auction, a seven-carat pink diamond, was sold for five million, Xia Yue heard a familiar voice!
"Five million two hundred thousand!"
That's Xia Jingjing's voice!
It came from box number seven!
Xia Yue's gaze immediately locked onto that direction!
Inside VIP box number seven, Liu Meilan glared angrily at Xia Jingjing when she heard her daughter speak.
"We can't reveal our identities yet, why are you trying to show off!" Liu Meilan shouted angrily.
Xia Jingjing said nonchalantly, "Mom, Xia Yue is dead, and we have completed the task assigned to us. Soon, the Xia family will be ours."
"I just want to buy a diamond, what's wrong with that?"
