Chapter 109 She forced him to do this!
Ten minutes later, Jiang Yao came out after changing into a sports shirt.
Today she deliberately chose a long-sleeved top that covered her from neck to belly, leaving no exposure.
But it makes her look slimmer and more curvy.
She simply tied a ponytail with a headband, which made her look lighter, more lively and more youthful, like a freshman who had just entered college.
Li Beiting couldn't take his eyes off it.
Not to mention the other men around, some of them were even eager to approach and chat with her.
Until Li Beiting took two steps forward and inadvertently stood in front of her, shooting a pair of cold and intimidating eyes at everyone.
Colder than an icicle.
The oppressive feeling all around is even more daunting.
Even so, a girl on the side couldn't help but step forward and said with courage: "Hey, handsome guy, can I exchange contact information with you?"
Upon hearing this, Li Beiting glanced at Jiang Yao standing beside him, his eyes softening as he said bluntly, "My girlfriend is watching."
Jiang Yao was so shocked that he almost choked on his own saliva.
"I'm, I'm very sorry." The girl reacted immediately and ran away with a red face.
Jiang Yao's cheeks were flushed, perhaps because she was too hot from working out. She raised her bright eyes and said, "You..."
Before she could ask, Li Beiting said, "Help me block it, is that okay?"
Jiang Yao was stunned, thinking back to when Lu Xuan had been pestering her before, and it was he who used the excuse that he was her boyfriend to help her fend him off.
In this case, it seems that reciprocity is possible.
"All right……"
She agreed reluctantly.
Seeing the smile that instantly appeared on Li Beiting's face, her heart trembled.
He seemed...happy.
Is it because she is willing to help him, or because she agreed to "pretend to be his girlfriend"?
If it's the latter...
Thinking of this, Jiang Yao blushed even more and didn't even dare to look directly into Li Beiting's eyes.
As if afraid of revealing his inner thoughts.
After finishing their workout, Jiang Yao and Li Beiting took a shower separately, packed their things and went out together.
They didn't notice that there was a figure hiding in the dark not far away, quietly watching the two people's backs as they left, with a faint light flickering in his eyes.
…
After leaving the house, Jiang Yao did not go with Li Beiting.
"Let's separate here. My best friend has an appointment with me later."
Of course this is not the main reason.
She was mainly afraid of going with Li Beiting. If she was caught by Wang Ma, she would have no way of clearing herself from the blame.
"Do you need me to take you there?"
"No need, the place we agreed to meet is not far away." Jiang Yao waved goodbye to him and quickly ran away.
Li Beiting smiled helplessly.
After driving back, he had just put his gym bag into the house when he suddenly received a call from his trusted subordinate.
Li Beiting's eyes changed slightly, and he quickly clicked to connect.
"Mr. Li, that item will appear at the auction this afternoon."
His subordinates reported to him.
Li Beiting's eyes narrowed: "In the afternoon?"
"Three o'clock in the afternoon, Guomao Hotel."
Li Beiting immediately looked down at the time on his watch. It was two forty minutes.
Twenty minutes left.
"I understand. Please continue to follow up on your side."
After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone, hurried out, and drove to the auction site.
…
Jiang Yao did receive a call from her best friend Shu Ya.
"Yaoyao, have you arrived yet? The auction is about to start, and the things I want should be auctioned off early. I can't let others get there first!"
Jiang Yao was a little amused. "Alright, alright. I'll be there in five minutes. Don't worry. I won't let anyone else snatch it away."
"That's more like it." Shu Ya hung up the phone with satisfaction.
Five minutes later, Jiang Yao arrived at the Guomao Hotel and Shu Ya was already waiting at the door.
Seeing her coming, Shu Ya smiled and walked forward to hold her arm.
"You're finally here. Today you have to help me take a picture of that blessed Buddhist beads. They belong to the actress who won three Golden Globes awards, and I admire them the most. It's said that she was unknown before, but after wearing those beads, her career took off, and she's been filming and winning awards. I want to be as successful as my predecessor."
Jiang Yao didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this, "You are still so superstitious."
"You don't understand. This isn't superstition. The entertainment industry is all about luck. Some people have worked hard for more than a decade but remain unknown, while others become famous overnight after filming a drama.
I've seen so much in the industry, and sometimes you just have to believe it."
Shu Ya's explanation was very logical.
Jiang Yao thought about it and felt that it made some sense.
Shu Ya then added, "But the most important thing is that it's something that belongs to my goddess. Even if it can't bless my career, it's still very valuable to have as a collection."
Jiang Yao now understood that this was probably the key point.
The two entered the venue and found a seat on the first floor.
Little did he know that this scene happened to fall into the eyes of someone in the back seat.
…
The lights on the stage came on.
The auction officially begins.
Jiang Yao and his friend were not interested in the first two groups.
So it was just passed over hastily.
Until the third set of Buddhist beads was pushed onto the stage.
Shu Ya's eyes lit up.
Xu Man made her debut twenty years ago and is a household name with a great reputation. She is even the goddess of many middle-aged men present.
Many people raised their signs.
Prices are rising layer by layer.
Because Jiang Yao and Shu Ya were together, Jiang Yao had more experience in auctions than Shu Ya, so she raised her sign directly and cut the Gordian knot.
"Buyer No. 10, 10 million!"
Everyone looked at her in surprise.
This price has already exceeded many people's expectations.
Although this string of Buddhist beads was worn by a very famous female star, to be frank, it is just an ordinary Buddhist beads and cannot even be considered an antique.
Therefore, no one went to rob it anymore.
"Ten million once, ten million twice..."
Unexpectedly, just as the auctioneer's hammer was about to fall, someone in the seat behind him suddenly raised a sign.
"Buyer No. 15, 20 million!"
The whole audience was shocked again.
Jiang Yao turned around and met Lu Xuan's smiling face.
"It's you? What do you mean?" Shu Ya also turned around and glared at him angrily.
But Lu Xuan didn't look at her, his eyes still fell on Jiang Yao.
"Yaoyao, if you like it, I can take a picture of it and give it to you."
Looking at his sanctimonious appearance, Jiang Yao suddenly remembered what he heard in the water bar that day.
I was instantly disgusted.
When the auctioneer called out "Twenty million twice," she raised her sign without batting an eyelid.
"Buyer No. 10, 50 million!!!"
The whole audience gasped.
Everyone looked at Jiang Yao in disbelief.
Which rich girl is so generous that she is willing to spend such a huge amount of money on an ordinary string of Buddhist beads?
Shu Ya nervously tugged at her sleeve, "Yaoyao, this is too much!"
Jiang Yao gave her a reassuring look and turned around without even looking at Lu Xuan.
At this moment, Lu Xuan's heart finally died completely.
He really has no chance.
But so what, he has a new girlfriend and a child.
When he returns to his family, Jiang Yao will regret it so much that he will kneel on the ground and beg him to come back.
She forced him to do this!
