I subconsciously wanted to dodge, but my body couldn't react in time due to inertia.
As I was panicking, a hand wrapped around my waist and pulled me to the side unexpectedly.
I dodged the waiter but bumped into Yan Meng's arms. His hand was still around my waist, and his palm was warm.
At this moment, I felt so ashamed that I wished I could disappear.
Not only was she embarrassed, but she also felt an inexplicable chill down her spine, and could vaguely feel Lu Zhiyuan's deep gaze.
I took a quick glance at him out of the corner of my eye. If that look could kill, it would be enough to poke hundreds of holes in Yan Meng and me.
"Why are you so reckless?" Yan Meng looked at me and teased me.
I immediately pushed him away, took two steps back, and kept my distance from him, not wanting to cause any misunderstanding.
"Thank you..." I whispered thank you, and the moment I turned around, I felt full of regret.
How could I be so careless?!
And it happened in front of Lu Zhiyuan and Yuan Yaxin, so now they can make a big fuss about it.
I can even imagine Yuan Yaxin's face criticizing me in Lu Zhiyuan's ear.
I took a deep breath and calmed myself down.
Even if Lu Zhiyuan believes that Yan Meng and I are not innocent, it would be useless. It is just his subjective speculation.
The initiative to divorce or not is still mine.
Just Yan Meng——
I secretly glanced at Yan Meng. He was scanning the venue looking for a seat, and seemed not to care about the little accident just now.
So, I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Yan, your seat is here." Under the guidance of the etiquette lady, Yan Meng and I sat at the auction table. There were bidding cards on the table, as well as tea and snacks.
Those who came to attend this charity dinner were all well-known figures in Beijing, either rich or noble, either wealthy or powerful.
After everyone took their seats, I began to appreciate how lively and grand this auction was.
The only business giant that could make these bigwigs willingly accept invitations to participate in the auction was Huake, a company that almost monopolized the southern real estate market.
The items at the auction were also quite valuable, and most of them had special significance and collection value. They were definitely worthy of the status of the business tycoons present, so naturally there were constant bidding.
Being able to arrange the auction so well and coax those wealthy businessmen into opening their own pockets, Tang Jun is obviously not the naive rich girl I thought she was.
Huake Real Estate has been a powerful force in the real estate industry for many years. Even if Tang Jun has been influenced by it, she is not a naive woman.
Yan Meng never raised his bid and seemed not interested in the items.
This surprised me a little.
I didn't see him networking at the party, and he wasn't participating in the auction. What was he doing at the party? To support Tang Jun?
Yan Meng caught my suspicious look. He seemed to see through my thoughts at a glance, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Don't worry, what I want is still behind."
This made me curious about what kind of auction items attracted Yan Meng.
"The last lot for today's auction is a pair of antique gold scissors that Miss Tang Jun has collected for many years."
As the introduction was made, the red cloth was lifted, and a pair of scissors with a dull golden sheen appeared in the glass counter. They were small and exquisite.
"This pair of golden scissors is no ordinary pair of golden scissors. They were used by Wang Zhaojun. After leaving the frontier, Zhaojun missed her hometown. To comfort herself, she gathered her maids together to make Hanfu (Chinese traditional clothing). These golden scissors were used by Wang Zhaojun herself. Starting price: 1.5 million."
