Chapter 308: Honey and oil, don't let him mess around

Qiao Xi felt embarrassed by her compliment.

She had her eyes on two items in this auction brochure, and the starting prices for both were not particularly expensive.

Du Ya held her hand and said, "Let's go. This private auction is different from the last auction. We can't be late. Xingzhou is at work today, so we can go and have a good time."

"good."

Qiao Xi looked at her with a smile.

Ever since she had a conflict with Huo Jiancheng, Du Ya almost never brought Huo Jiancheng with her when she came to see her.

Qiao Xi knew that this was her mother-in-law's thoughtfulness, and she felt warm in her heart.

They walked out of the villa and Lao Chen opened the car door.

Along the way, Du Ya introduced her to the rules of Rongde Auction House's small auction.

When they arrived at the auction house, there were already several luxury cars parked in the parking lot.

No one expected that the small auction would be held in a luxurious European-style garden villa. The servants led them into the inner floor.

The first floor is a large banquet hall with a very high dome.

A huge display screen was hung in the air, showing the auctioned items in turn. Various meals and fine wines were placed around, for the guests to socialize after the auction.

On the second floor is a circular auction room, but it is semi-enclosed, separated by a screen and antique shelves. Prying eyes are blocked, but the sound insulation is not very good.

Each number plate has a private room, and Qiao Xi got number seven.

Qiao Xi and Du Ya entered the private room and sat on the soft sofa. The waiter immediately brought them a fruit tray, tea, and snacks, and also thoughtfully handed them a tablet computer.

"Mrs. Huo, Madam. You two just need to click the bid button on the tablet and it will be displayed on the big screen. If you don't want it, you can click the abandon button next to it. The auction will go to the highest bidder and follow the principle of authenticity. All collections have been appraised by Mr. Qi Sanshi."

Last time, a fake work was sold at the annual auction of Rongde Auction House, which made Huo Beiting lose face. At that time, the principle of authenticity was still not guaranteed, so Huo Beiting could only swallow the loss.

This is good!

Qiao Xi took the tablet and said softly, "Thank you."

She looked very curious. Who would have thought that an auction could be so comfortable? She ate and drank and spent money to buy the items she liked. The whole afternoon passed.

Du Ya came over and fiddled with it for a while.

"This jade bracelet, this necklace... and this wedding ring." Du Ya loves jewelry the most, and her eyes light up when she sees these sparkling things.

"Qiao Xi, I think these things are very suitable for you."

When Qiao Xi saw so many zeros, she waved her hands and said, "It's not appropriate for me to wear so many jewellery at work."

Du Ya disagreed: "Bracelets may not be convenient, but necklaces are always suitable. And your fingers are so bald. My son is really ignorant. You have been married for so long, and he didn't even know to buy a wedding ring."

Qiao Xi didn't care, she thought it was good enough that the two of them loved each other.

Seeing her well-behaved appearance, Du Ya liked her even more. She put down the tablet and said, "Qiao Xi, what time did you arrive last night? I saw you yawning and feeling sleepy in the car. Are you tired?"

Qiao Xi was shocked by her frankness and shook her head in panic.

"Men are all like this. They can't bear to let go of flesh and bones. Especially those who are inexperienced and in good health. Don't indulge them. Don't think you can recover quickly just because you are young. Everything should be done in moderation. Don't damage the foundation."

Du Ya: This is advice from someone who has had experience.

Qiao Xi nodded embarrassedly.

She studied medicine and understood this principle better. But she was always overwhelmed by emotions and could not help herself.

The newlyweds are in love with each other.

"cut."

In the next room, a disdainful female voice came from behind a screen in Box 6, "Country bumpkins with shallow eyes can only use some unpresentable seductive tricks."

Du Ya's face darkened: "How can Rongde Auction House allow dogs in? Whose dog barks so loudly? Is it crazy?"

The young girl next door was annoyed: "Who is the dog?"

She was about to curse, but she didn't know who stopped her.

Du Ya sneered and said in a provocative voice: "If you are an uneducated person, stay abroad and don't come back to pollute the air. I was wondering why the air is so polluted today. It seems that you have to turn on an air purifier wherever there are people. Otherwise, you will be suffocated by the stench..."

"you……"

"What? Your elders have to be courteous to me, who do you think you are?" Du Ya spoke sharply, with an air of sternness on his face.

The other side turned off the engine.

Qiao Xi was curious and lowered her voice to ask, "Do you know who she is?"

Du Ya said softly: "Ye Zhimeng from the Ye family, in order to marry Xu Xiuyuan, she tried to curry favor with Xu Xingluo. Later, she was sent abroad by Mrs. Ye. Mrs. Ye didn't want her to be embarrassed, and she came back recently. Maybe Xu Xingluo has been imprisoned..."

Qiao Xi remembered this Mrs. Ye. Last time, when the old man of the Huo family celebrated his 70th birthday, Mrs. Ye's son Xiaolei choked on food and it was she who provided first aid.

Rongde Auction House was the dowry brought by Mrs. Ye’s family.

I heard that she was from the imperial capital and came from a scholarly family.

"Is Ye Zhimeng her daughter?" The age doesn't seem right.

Du Ya shook her head: "She was adopted by the Ye family. I heard that she was an orphan of an old friend. She can only call Mrs. Ye aunt. She is an outsider who acts like a young lady and stirs up trouble every day."

Qiao Xi understood.

It seemed that Ye Zhimeng was not the only one in the next door box No. 5. She also vaguely heard another young female voice.

Du Ya deliberately raised her voice: "Qiao Xi, if you meet people like this outside, don't be polite to them. Such scumbags should be scolded, otherwise she will not know her own weight."

There was a commotion coming from next door.

Qiao Xi smiled and said, "Mom, I understand."

soon.

It was three o'clock in the afternoon.

Rongde’s small auction officially began, with a total of ten items on sale.

The first item of collection quickly popped up on the big screen. It was a pair of pink diamond earrings with a starting price of one hundred thousand.

This pair of earrings looks delicate and beautiful, and people in box number six next door have been bidding.

The price has soared to three hundred thousand.

Du Ya directly took the tablet and entered a high price of five hundred thousand.

This exceeds the value of the pink diamond itself.

"Number 7 bids 500,000. Is there a higher bid? OK, we see that VIP number 6 bids 600,000."

"Six hundred thousand at a time!"

"Six hundred thousand twice!"

"Deal! Congratulations to guest number six!"

Du Ya laughed and said, "You idiot, you'll fall into the trap any minute."

She flirted with the little bitch next door and was in a good mood.

Qiao Xi asked, "How do you know she will take the photo?"

Du Ya raised her chin proudly: "I have a special channel for gossip. She asked Mrs. Ye for this pair of pink diamond earrings a few days ago, but she had already announced that the items were to be auctioned. How could she just give them away and break the rules?"

"You are amazing."

Du Ya said, "You should learn from me. Don't be too honest. If we have a grudge, we should avenge it immediately. If we can't avenge it, we should lie low for the time being. It's never too late for a gentleman to avenge himself."

Qiao Xi nodded.

The second lot was displayed on the big screen. Qiao Xi couldn't help but sit up straight and look intently at the picture introduction.
