He put the last piece of codfish on the plate in front of Xiaoming, put down his chopsticks, stood up, and said to Huo Zhaodong and his son, "I'm going to go out for a while. Please keep an eye on him for a while."
The two of them have recovered from the shock of their niece (sister) getting married, and their attention is now focused on their lives.
Hearing this, Huo Zhaodong waved his hand and said, "No problem."
He then reminded her, "There are so many people here today, so go out and bring a few more people."
Huo Yunze rolled his eyes and complained silently in his heart: No matter how many people he brought, could they outnumber those in the black market? This auction house was strictly controlled by the black market. Could the person in charge of the black market allow their mistress to be bullied in her own territory?
Huo Zhaodong was unaware of this and personally assigned a few trusted men to follow her from a distance and protect her.
*
The overall layout of the black market auction house is a circular building with a huge dome, and the auction table is at the midpoint of the line connecting the center of the circle and the backyard.
That is, the overall backward position.
Behind the auction table is the backyard, where the staff rest and many large and small warehouses are built. It is completely isolated from the front.
There are large open spaces in front and on both sides. After the dinner, many soft sofas and chairs were placed there. Some guests who did not reserve a private room have already taken their seats.
The boxes were built on the second floor and only formed about half a circle. No matter which box you were in, you could clearly see the auction table and the situation in the hall. The only difference was the viewing angle and the layout of the box.
There are quite a lot of private rooms on the second floor, about fifty in total, which are used by powerful families from all over the world.
There were only twelve private rooms left on the third floor. Apart from those used by the black market, only those holding the black market's top VIP cards were eligible to make reservations. Others were not allowed to use the rooms, let alone go upstairs.
This was Song Yanxi's first time attending such an occasion. After sending a message to Xie Xihe, she came to the stairs on the second floor. When she was about to go upstairs, she was blocked by a man in black who appeared out of nowhere.
The other party was expressionless and said in a cold voice, "VIP floor, trespassing."
Song Yanxi pursed her lips: "I have an appointment to meet someone."
The man in black remained unmoved: "Sorry, the black market only recognizes cards, not people. If you are looking for someone, please contact the person you are looking for and ask her to come out to pick you up."
Let Xie Xihe come out to pick her up?
Song Yanxi's fingertips tightened fiercely, but she finally took out her phone and sent a message. Then she looked at the man in black with a smile: "I've contacted him. I'll wait here, okay?"
The man in black glanced at her and didn't answer.
Song Yanxi's teeth clenched.
Xie Xihe came out neither fast nor slow, and appeared at the end of the stairs about five minutes later.
The man in black saw this and immediately turned around, bowed, and said respectfully, "Thank you, Miss."
Xie Xihe nodded casually, walked down, and finally stopped in front of Song Yanxi. He said straight to the point: "I thought there was nothing left to say between us."
Song Yanxi smiled: "But you still came down, didn't you, Xihe."
She looked at her, her previous pride gone, revealing a smile that was both familiar and unfamiliar to Xie Xihe. She said softly, "A lot has happened between us since I returned to China, and there have been many misunderstandings. Regardless of whether they can be resolved or not, I still feel it's necessary to explain everything to you clearly."
"Since you accepted my invitation, I guess you have the same idea as me, right?" she said confidently.
Although her performance during this period was beyond her expectations, Song Yanxi had already determined that her abilities and personality were exactly the same as before.
She seems to be cold and casual towards everyone, but anyone she cares about will be loved unconditionally by her.
For example, Liang Suqin in the past.
Song Yanxi saw with her own eyes how Liang Suqin pushed her away time and time again, how she bullied her time and time again, and how she treated her coldly time and time again. However, it was not until she was nearly ten years old that Xie Xihe completely turned cold towards her.
Song Yanxi came to the Xie family when he was eight years old, and Xie Xihe was ten years old, with three years in between.
She couldn't even remember how many times Liang Suqin had treated Xie Xihe coldly, but even so, she always tolerated them every time there was a conflict or contradiction, and even after she became cold to her, she just ignored it.
Song Yanxi knew that she was not as good as Liang Suqin, Xie Xihe's mother, but after all, they had been together for eight years, and the affection between them was somewhat different from that of others.
She was sure that he still cared about her.
really.
As soon as Song Yanxi finished speaking, Xie Xihe glanced at her indifferently and walked out.
Song Yanxi smiled, turned her head to glance at the man in black behind her, and then followed him.
Walk down the stairs from the third floor and turn a corner to reach the corridor on the first floor, but if you go left or right you will reach the VIP lounge on the second floor.
Xie Xihe chose the left.
Because there is a long curved rest area on the left, which is furnished with many sofa seats and large floor-to-ceiling windows, through which you can clearly see the bustling streets outside.
Xie Xihe did not take a seat, but walked straight to a French window and stood there, without even looking away, he said directly: "Go ahead."
As Song Yanxi stepped forward, he crushed the pill hidden in his sleeve. The outer layer that isolated the medicinal properties was broken, and the powder inside scattered on Song Yanxi's clothes and the ground under his feet.
It quickly melts when it comes into contact with the air, mixes into the air, and enters the human body with every breath.
It has a light fragrance, mixed with the incense in the rest area, and will not be noticed at all.
Song Yanxi sniffed it lightly and felt very satisfied.
However, it would take time for the medicine to take effect. Since they had already met, Song Yanxi didn't mind putting on a show and reminiscing about the past with her.
She sighed, "I still remember the first time I saw you. You were so tiny, so delicate and beautiful. I was stunned at the time. I never thought that there could be someone in the world who was so delicate and beautiful."
Xie Xihe tilted his head: "So?"
"So," Song Yanxi continued with a smile, "I'm jealous of you."
"Beauty, money, a father's love, all the things I long for, you get them easily."
"Xie Xihe, I don't understand. We're all human beings, but why do I have to put in 120,000 times the effort to take even a small step forward? And you don't have to do anything, and people will bring all these things to you."
"Sheng Shijing, An Qing, Huo Yunze, Lord of Black Stone, why do everyone treat you so differently? How did you get all this?"
She said this with a smile, her tone calm, but the jealousy in her eyes was so full that it almost overflowed.
Faintly distorted.
Although she was a little ugly, Xie Xihe actually felt that Song Yanxi was more pleasing to the eye now than before.
At least she is real at this moment.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
What’s important is…
Xie Xihe raised his eyes: "So, this is your reason for harming others?"
Song Yanxi's pupils shrank slightly, and he suddenly looked up at her.
