After the two of them left the restaurant, Xiao Mobai paid the bill and followed them out. After seeing them leave, they did not separate, but got into a black Maybach together.
Through the windshield, he also saw that scoundrel bend down to fasten his wife's seatbelt, and then pat her head!
Seeing this, Xiao Mobai clenched his fists and his eyes turned bright red. If he hadn't had a sliver of reason left, he probably would have rushed forward long ago.
After the black Maybach started, he followed closely behind like a voyeur, sometimes even driving alongside it. He wanted to keep an eye on that scoundrel, in case he did something indecent to his wife!
But every time he saw it, he saw Nan Qing chatting happily with the man in the driver's seat.
But it was as if he was harming himself. Even though he would secretly feel angry after each time he watched it, thinking that he was useless and couldn't hold his wife's heart, he would speed up and follow her to watch it again after a while.
And so it went, back and forth, until half an hour later, when a top-of-the-line Maybach and a modified Ducati motorcycle drove into a six-star hotel in Haishi, one after the other.
After tossing the keys to the parking attendant, Xiao Mobai stared intently at the two figures ahead as they went up to the 38th floor.
When he went up, he found that a charity auction was being held there.
He remarked on how his wife was dressed so formally today, in a dark red velvet dress and with a full face of exquisite makeup.
So his wife was only dressed up because she was going to attend the auction, not because she was going to date that jerk!
As he strode toward the entrance to the venue, he was stopped by a waiter in a tuxedo: "Sir, please show me your invitation."
Xiao Mobai had followed them there, so he didn't have any invitation. He immediately took out his phone and called his father.
"Dad, there's an auction on the 38th floor of the Christy Hotel today. They need invitations. I need to get in. Can you figure something out?"
"I'm right at the entrance of the venue now."
Mr. Xiao was silent for two seconds on the other end of the phone, then chuckled and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it. Wait a moment."
A few minutes later, the auction organizer's manager jogged out of the venue, smiling, and said:
"Young Master Xiao, I apologize for keeping you waiting. This way, please."
Xiao Mobai strode into the venue, quickly scanning the crowd. Dressed in a simple black team uniform, he stood out from everyone else who were dressed in formal attire, but he didn't care at all about the stares he received.
Finally, he saw that familiar figure in the center of the first row.
The dark red velvet dress and the white leather sofa created a striking color contrast, while the man beside her was leaning over to adjust the hem of her dress.
They were standing so close, and his wife didn't object!
The manager bowed and led the way, saying, "Young Master Mo, your seat is in the first row..."
"Second row."
Xiao Mobai interrupted the other person, his gaze fixed on the man's hand resting on the back of his wife's sofa.
He chose a position to Nanqing's right rear, where he could clearly see her profile and every move she made.
As he got closer, he even noticed that his wife's champagne-colored handbag was also on the man's lap.
Xiao Mobai was seething with hatred; that position should have been his!
He should be the one to take his wife's bag too!
As the auction began, one precious item after another was placed on the stage. The guests in the hall chatted quietly among themselves and occasionally raised their paddles. Only Xiao Mobai did not look at any of the items on the stage from beginning to end. His eyes were fixed on the figure to his left.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the next item for auction is a natural jadeite bead necklace, consisting of 48 old mine full-green glass-type jadeite beads strung together. The starting bid is ten million!"
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, a brief murmur of conversation arose in the room, and the lights focused on the jade bead necklace on the display stand. The lustrous emerald green color appeared even more intense against the backdrop of the black velvet fabric.
The beads are indeed very beautiful, as clear as frozen lake water, with pure color, even distribution, and excellent transparency.
Especially the central bead, which is slightly larger than the other beads, has naturally formed flocculent patterns inside that resemble a landscape painting. When the light shines from the side, you can also see faint cloud patterns and water veins, which is very artistic and adds a lot to this beaded necklace.
Sang Nanchen turned slightly towards Nan Qing and asked, "How is it? Do you like it? If you like it, I'll take a picture of it for you to play with."
Nan Qing did indeed quite like the string of beads, so when her brother asked if she liked it, she smiled and nodded, then hugged her brother's arm across the sofa, saying sweetly:
"I like it, thank you, brother~"
Sang Nanchen also raised his hand and tapped his sister's nose. His sister was only so obedient when she wanted him to buy her something she liked.
Actually, Nan Qing herself isn't short of money; her allowance is much more than her brother's.
But things that family members buy for you seem to have more meaning than things you buy yourself.
Xiao Mobai, who was diagonally behind her, almost rushed up to her and said, "He bought it, call him brother!!" after hearing Nan Qing say "Thank you, brother!"
But he still managed to control his movements, and then his piercing gaze shifted from the man to the jade bead necklace on the display stand.
Hmph, what a poor mistress, he can't even afford a meal, he must be spending his wife's money!
So when Sang Nanchen opened the bid of 15 million, Xiao Mobai raised his hand and bid without hesitation.
"Twenty million!"
His price increase of five million drew the attention of the surrounding guests.
Nan Qing and Sang Nanchen also turned their heads to glance at it, but because Xiao Mobai's gaze was still on the stage, they did not make eye contact with Nan Qing.
Otherwise, Nan Qing would surely recognize that this unfamiliar face was that of the wolf cub who had followed her through many worlds.
Unfortunately, things just happen to be this dramatic~
The subsequent auction was also very lively. Xiao Mobai bid wildly, and Sang Nanchen kept up the price. When the price reached 100 million, all the other guests had given up bidding.
Old mine full green glass type is indeed a rare find in the world.
However, if it exceeds 100 million, it's not so cost-effective.
When the price reached 170 million, Nan Qing stopped her brother, who was about to continue bidding, shook her head, and said:
"Forget it, they seem determined to win. They're just pretty, that's all. Let's look at some others."
Indeed, she liked the beads, but it wasn't to the point that she absolutely needed them.
Since the other party wants it so much, instead of wasting time arguing, why not look at other options?
