Finally, the host said some words of blessing and then moved on to the next segment.
The next step is the tea ceremony. In this ceremony, the groom introduces the bride-to-be to his parents and his parents to the bride-to-be. At this time, the bride-to-be serves tea and calls out to her parents.
Similarly, the bride should introduce the groom and her parents to each other, and the groom should also serve tea and address them as his parents.
Mi Lan has finally made her presence known. Although she is still the mistress, she is now the rightful Mrs. Li.
Next, the betrothal gifts will be presented. The host is holding a microphone, and I'm sure everyone is wondering how much Mr. Ling has prepared for the betrothal gifts.
Can Mr. Ling answer everyone's questions?
Ling Hao said calmly, "Eight hundred million."
Eight hundred million is a very auspicious and enormous amount.
Okay, next, please come forward, bride and groom, and exchange engagement rings.
Ling Hao picked up a diamond ring that appeared to be five carats and put it on Mi Xi's hand.
Mi Xi also put a ring on Ling Hao's finger, at which point enthusiastic applause broke out.
After both sets of parents gave their speeches, the banquet began, and Ling Hao and Mi Xi went down to offer toasts.
At the table sat Ling Hui, the eldest son of the Ling family, and other members of the Li and Ling families of the same generation.
When Mi Xi and Ling Hao arrived at Li Mu's table, they were initially a little uncomfortable seeing Li Mu. But to their surprise, Li Mu raised his glass first, wishing them a long and happy marriage.
Of course, it should last a long time. A scumbag and a slut are left to ruin other people's lives.
Mi Xi was stunned, Ling Hao also held back, and Li Yi was confused, but subconsciously followed Li Mu and drank a glass of wine.
I don't know what Li Mu is planning, but I still retaliated and quickly left the table.
The banquet ended quickly, and Mi Xi's Weibo account exploded with activity.
Wow! This is the most luxurious engagement party I've ever seen.
They are such a perfect match, I'm so envious.
Wow, the second young master of the Ling family is so handsome!
This is also my first time meeting him; he is the second young master of the Ling family.
Xi Xi.
Didn't you hear about the 800 million yuan dowry?
I was just about to say that this is amazing.
goddess.
Even though my goddess is engaged, it doesn't affect my liking for her at all.
Mi Xi gained even more popularity through this engagement party, reaching new heights after already having over ten million fans.
The engagement was subsequently reported by major media outlets, highlighting the marriage between two prominent families and the dowry of 80,000 yuan.
A few days later, Li Mu was about to return to City C when he received a call from Jiangsu.
I'm participating in a variety show where each celebrity is paired with a business tycoon. Xiaoxiao, could you do me a favor?
Business elite? Miss Su, shouldn't you ask Qin Luochen about that?
He's the general manager of the Qin Group now.
I don't want to be with that guy. Her tone made no attempt to hide her obvious disdain.
I don't qualify either. I'm just the general manager of a branch office.
But you are the second largest shareholder of the Li Group.
Okay, when?
We're going to Shanghai together the day after tomorrow.
There's an auction tonight at 7 PM, will you come with me?
"Okay," Li Mu agreed and hung up the phone.
At the Li family home, Li Mu returned home and saw Li Hongyun in the living room.
Why didn't Dad go to work today?
Xiao Mu, come here, Dad wants to ask you something.
Li Mu walked over and sat down next to Li Hongyun.
What's wrong, Dad?
Xiao Mu, do you have someone you like right now? You're not young anymore, your sister is getting married, you should hurry up!
Dad, don't worry about me. I think you should ask Li Yi.
He hasn't been back for a long time. I mentioned it to him last time and he ran away.
It's clear that Li Hongyun is still a little angry when she thinks about it now.
Dad, I'm still young, I'm not in a hurry. I promised Jiangsu I'd accompany her to the auction tonight.
After saying that, Li Mu slipped away and made a hasty retreat.
Hanhai, the largest auction house in Kyoto, is where Li Mu drove to.
I ran into Jiangsu, who had just gotten off the bus.
Xiao Xiao, from Jiangsu, excitedly went up and hugged Li Mu.
Okay, Jiangsu wants to go in, but it wouldn't be good if the paparazzi took pictures.
Jiangsu nodded and took Li Mu's arm as they went inside.
Could you please tell me which floor we're going to?
Three-story building, Jiangsu answers.
Anyone can participate in the auction on the first floor of Hanhai. On the second floor, a net worth verification is required, and only those with a net worth of over 100 million can enter. On the third floor, only those with a net worth of over 10 billion can enter.
Upon hearing that it was a third floor, the receptionist became even more respectful, saying, "Please follow me, gentlemen."
The receptionist first took Li Mu and his companion to the registration counter for registration, and then led Li Mu up to the third floor.
On the third floor, the receptionist in a cheongsam smiled and handed Li Mu and her companion a mask and a number tag, respectively.
Li Mu and Jiangsu took the masks and put them on immediately. They then went inside with their number tags in their hands.
Li Mu led Jiangsu to a small corner to sit down.
Each seat has a small notebook containing detailed information and a description of the condition of the auctioned items.
Why didn't Li Mu go to see it?
Watching it would be like getting spoiled on TV; the mystery is what makes it interesting.
After that, they waited quietly for the auction to begin. During this time, many more people came in, and the seats in the hundred-mile radius were almost full.
A man walked in through the VIP entrance. There were no seats left in the first row, so the man went straight to sit in the very center of the first row.
It's not that no one wants to sit in the first row; rather, it's that no one dares to sit in the first row.
Many people noticed the person sitting in the very center of the front row, and many were speculating about who it could be.
At this moment, all the stage lights converged on the auction stage, indicating that the auction was about to begin.
Hello everyone, I'm auctioneer Ziye. The auction is starting.
Our first lot, a celadon-glazed vase with white floral design, measures 34.5cm in height and 23.5cm in diameter. The starting bid is 1.5 million, with each bid requiring a minimum of 100,000. The bidding will now begin.
No sooner had he finished speaking than someone started bidding: 1.6 million for number 23.
One million eight hundred thousand, number thirteen one million eight hundred thousand.
Two million, number seventy-one two million.
"Two million five hundred thousand for number thirty-three, and two million five hundred thousand for number thirty-three," number thirty-three said with a hint of pride.
But before he could be smug for long, the next second...
Three million, number seven three million.
Is there anything higher than three million?
Number 33 seemed somewhat annoyed and bid another 3.5 million.
Number 33 is three million. Is there anything higher?
Is there anything else? When no one bid, the auctioneer started counting down: three and a half million once, three and a half million twice, three and a half million three times, and the hammer fell.
Ultimately, this celadon-glazed vase with white floral design was sold to bidder number 33 for 3.5 million.
When Li Mu saw that Jiangsu hadn't made any move on the second item, he asked, "Jiangsu, what exactly are you here to bid on?"
Grandpa's birthday is in two months. He likes calligraphy and painting, so I plan to take pictures of calligraphy, paintings, or inkstones as birthday gifts for him.
