Chapter 103
The auction officially starts at seven o'clock.
Song Yi and Jiang Yuxu sat in the second row, while Fu Xijing and Zhao Yanjin were in the third row, just diagonally behind them.
After the two men sat down, Song Yi felt like a thorn in his back.
But when she turned around, Fu Xijing was not looking at her.
She stroked her chest and couldn't help but feel that she was always on edge.
"Don't be nervous. He can't touch you with me here." Jiang Yuxu, who was standing by, easily saw through Song Yi's worries and spoke to comfort her.
Song Yi nodded, "Okay."
Jiang Yuxu handed her the auction brochure and said, "Pick one and I'll give it to you."
Song Yi took it and glanced at it casually. It was full of jewelry, which she didn't like.
Song Yi's gaze finally settled on a bracelet.
She suddenly remembered that Fu Xijing had given her a valuable gold bracelet some time ago.
She couldn't quite remember where she put it.
"Do you like the bracelet?" Jiang Yuxu saw Song Yi staring at the bracelet and thought she had chosen it. "I'll buy it for you later."
"No." Song Yi shook his head, "No need to give it to me. I'm usually at school, so it's not appropriate for me to wear these."
Jiang Yuxu didn't care, "I'll wear it during the holidays, it's the same."
Every member of the opposite sex he had come into contact with since childhood was glamorous and beautiful. In his opinion, jewelry was a necessity.
Whatever others have, Song Yi naturally wants to have too.
She didn't have it before because of limited conditions, but now it's different.
He can give.
The auction officially begins.
The first few items that were put up for auction were just pre-auction items, including calligraphy and paintings and antiques. After that, jewelry will be put up one after another.
About half an hour later, the bracelet that Song Yi "liked" started to be photographed.
Jiang Yuxu did not bid immediately, but waited for several rounds of bidding before offering a price higher than theirs.
This bracelet is made of gold and carnelian, and has a traditional Chinese style. The cost is not high, and it is not a blockbuster item at the auction.
At this time, the price reached 120,000.
Jiang Yuxu raised the sign and added another 10,000 on top of that.
Seeing Jiang Yuxu holding up the sign, the others stopped following. His status was clear, and no one would risk offending him by chasing after a bracelet.
Just when everyone thought that Jiang Yuxu was going to win the bid, a male voice suddenly rang out at the scene.
"One hundred and fifty thousand."
This time the bid came from Fu Xijing.
As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone present looked at him.
Including Jiang Yu's preface.
Fu Xijing met Jiang Yuxu's gaze and smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
Jiang Yuxu raised the price again: "Two hundred thousand."
Fu Xijing refused to give in: "Two hundred and fifty thousand."
Jiang Yu preface: "Thirty."
Fu Xijing: "Four hundred thousand."
"...Don't follow me." Song Yi held Jiang Yuxu's hand and whispered, "There's no need. It's the same if you buy something else."
Jiang Yuxu: "You like it."
Song Yi: "No, I really don't like it."
Jiang Yuxu: "Then what do you like?"
"Lawyer Jiang, do you want to add more?" Jiang Yuxu had just asked this question when he heard Fu Xijing's half-smiled question, with a hint of teasing and obvious provocation in his words.
Song Yi naturally heard it as well.
She leaned closer to Jiang Yuxu and said, "He's provoking you. He's not bidding to buy the bracelet, he's just trying to raise the price so you can waste money. If you bid again, you'll be fooled."
Jiang Yuxu certainly knew Fu Xijing's purpose.
He is not the kind of person who would show off his strength just to be angry or save face.
Just: "You really don't like it?"
Song Yi nodded firmly.
While the two were talking, the deadline for raising the price had already expired.
The host made the final decision.
In the end, Fu Xijing bought the bracelet.
Four hundred thousand.
Everyone could see that the money was wasted, but Fu Xijing himself didn't care. After the host announced the results, he smiled and said three words to Jiang Yuxu: "Thank you."
…
Song Yi had no interest in anything at the auction.
She is a bit boring and has no interest in the things that rich people like, let alone appreciation for them.
The auction ended and the dinner officially began.
Jiang Yuxu rarely attends such occasions. It was a rare occasion for him to come today, and as soon as he sat down, many people came to him to establish relationships with him.
Among them are many well-known entrepreneurs.
Song Yi sat quietly aside and did not disturb them.
Until I heard a fifty-year-old entrepreneur ask Jiang Yuxu: "Is your third uncle's legs and feet better?"
Third uncle?
Song Yi thought about it carefully. When she followed Jiang Yuxu back to the Jiang family to attend Jiang Zheng’s 60th birthday, she had not seen the rumored third uncle.
"Same as always." This is Jiang Yuxu's answer.
The other party sighed and said, "I'll go see him some other day."
Jiang Yuxu: "Okay."
"By the way, the person he's looking for—"
"Uncle Chen, please discuss this with Third Uncle face to face." Jiang Yuxu politely interrupted the other party.
"Alright, alright." Director Chen nodded, then noticed Song Yi beside Jiang Yuxu, "Is this your girlfriend?"
"Yes." Jiang Yuxu introduced him, "Song Yi, a teacher at the University of Economics and Trade."
"This is Uncle Chen."
Song Yi politely greeted Mr. Chen: "Hello, Uncle Chen."
"Not bad, not bad." Director Chen looked at the two of them with a smile, "Yuxu, you know what, Xiao Song and you look a bit like a couple."
Song Yi smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say.
Director Chen's words were definitely a compliment. She and Jiang Yuxu didn't look like a married couple at all.
But these words also reminded Song Yi of that thorny problem again.
She hasn't figured out how to propose marriage to Jiang Yuxu yet.
"I'm going to the bathroom to touch up my lipstick." Song Yi grabbed her handbag and prepared to go out and be alone.
Jiang Yuxu subconsciously looked around for Fu Xijing and found that he was not in the banquet hall.
Too.
Fu Xijing filmed several things tonight and should be going through the process later.
"Let me accompany you." Jiang Yuxu said.
"No, no." Song Yi quickly waved his hand to refuse, "I can do it alone. I'll call you if I have any questions."
…
There's no one in the bathroom.
Song Yi went in, washed his hands, and then stood in front of the mirror in a daze.
She looked at herself in the mirror and began to organize her words in her mind.
Jiang Yuxu always spoke very directly in private. After hesitating for a long time, Song Yi decided to speak to him straight to the point.
She needs to rehearse it first.
Just at this time, Tang Qing sent her a WeChat message, asking her how things were going.
Song Yi called Tang Qing and put the phone to his ear.
Tang Qing: "You're not with Jiang Yuxu?"
"I'm going to the bathroom." Song Yi looked down at his feet. "I think I'll just talk to him about getting married later."
Tang Qing: "Have you thought it through?"
Song Yi said "hmm", "He is my best choice."
"Once he agrees, I'll take him to meet my mom first, and then we'll get the marriage certificate. It doesn't matter whether we have a wedding or not, as long as we can get married."
Song Yi chatted with Tang Qing for a few minutes, hung up the phone, took a deep breath in front of the mirror, and sent a WeChat message to Jiang Yuxu.
【I'm waiting for you in the corridor. I have something to tell you.】
After sending the message, Song Yi turned and walked out.
During this time, she kept looking down at her phone, waiting for Jiang Yuxu's reply.
When I walked to the bathroom door, a pair of leather shoes suddenly appeared in my sight.
She was startled, and before she could look up, her wrist was grabbed.
