Xiao Wenbo's hands on Shen Qingli's waist tightened a little.
Half an hour later.
The charity gala officially begins.
Lu Jingxiao and Shen Mengchu sat in the middle of the first row. This position showed both respect for him and Lu Jingxiao's status in Yuncheng.
As soon as they sat down, Lu Jingxiao took Chen Mengchu's hand and placed it in his own.
"Miss Shen made a mistake."
Lu Jingxiao said in words that only the two of them could hear.
Chen Mengchu paused, he actually saw through it.
Even so, Chen Mengchu pretended not to understand, "Mr. Lu, I don't know what you are talking about."
Seeing that she was pretending to be confused, Lu Jingxiao also exposed her.
"Mr. Lu, please be careful."
Chen Mengchu wanted to pull her hand back, but found that he was holding it tighter.
"With so many people, you probably don't want them to make up something."
Although her voice was gentle, there was a hint of warning in her tone.
"You...threatened me."
Chen Mengchu uttered a few words from between his teeth.
"Wrong, it's a reminder."
Lu Jingxiao corrected Chen Mengchu's words, saying it was a reminder, not a threat.
Chen Mengchu rolled his eyes at Lu Jingxiao and ignored him.
Seeing that she was angry, Lu Jingxiao spoke again, "Whatever happens later, we'll film it."
What Lu Jingxiao used was "we took the picture", not "I took the picture for you".
His words expressed his respect for Shen Mengchu and how much he cared about her.
Chen Mengchu didn't say anything else, but he didn't object to Lu Jingxiao's approach.
The host was introducing on the stage.
"Our first exhibit today is the necklace donated by designer Aiko, 'Burning Love'."
"Burning Love is the third piece designed by Aiko. She used the most plain and simple design, but the jewels on it are the most complicated. I heard that Aiko originally didn't plan to give this necklace away, but after hearing that we were doing charity, she donated it."
The host introduced that the necklace in the glass box looked even more dazzling under the light.
Although it is a simple pattern, it looks so extraordinary in Aiko's hands.
"Now, let's officially start the bidding and see who can get this necklace designed by Aiko?"
"The starting price for this necklace is eight million."
"Nine million."
"Ten million."
"Twelve million."
"Fifteen million."
"Do you like it?" Lu Jingxiao asked Chen Mengchu beside him.
Chen Mengchu didn't even lift his eyelids.
"If you don't like it, don't spend the money."
"So you like it?" Lu Jingxiao said as he raised his hand and held up the card.
"Eighteen million."
Eighteen million?
"Lu Jingxiao, stop acting crazy. I really don't like it." Chen Mengchu tugged at Lu Jingxiao's sleeve, telling him not to mess around.
Why are you filming this?
"You really don't like it?"
Seeing Chen Mengchu's beautiful eyebrows furrowed, it seemed that she realized that she really didn't like this.
"real."
If I had hesitated a little, this man would have definitely taken the picture.
Shen Qingli on the left watched this scene and shook Xiao Bowen's arm, "I like this, Mr. Xiao, can you help me get it?"
"Since you like it, I'll take a picture for you."
"Twenty million."
Someone called out a price of 20 million.
"Mr. Xiao, you are so nice."
Shen Qingli took Xiao Bowen's hand and stroked the back of his hand a few times with her slender white fingers.
Twenty million is already a very high price.
Lu Jingxiao did not add anything else.
No one added anything else.
"Twenty million once."
"Twenty million twice."
"Twenty million three times."
In the end, Xiao Bowen bought the necklace for 20 million yuan.
The auction continues.
There was nothing that Chen Mengchu liked.
"It's boring."
Chen Mengchu uttered a few words.
Just as she was about to get up and leave...
The host took out the last treasure.
"The last and finale treasure. 'Qiu Mi'."
"This gift is a necklace once worn by a princess of the royal family. It eventually fell into the hands of the Qin family in City S. It was last collected by Miss Tang Shuyi. After her death, the necklace disappeared, and now it appears here."
"Who will get the final treasure?"
"The starting price for this treasure is 30 million."
The host states the price.
The starting price of this item is several times more expensive than other items.
But there were still people rushing to take pictures.
"Thirty-two million."
"Thirty-five million."
"Forty million." Chen Mengchu raised his sign and stated his price.
She was determined to get this necklace.
This was the last thing my mother had. She had been looking for it but couldn't find it. She didn't expect it to appear here.
It seems that Shen Zhenghua donated it.
He's really going too far.
Chen Mengchu's price of 40 million was quickly suppressed.
"Forty-one million."
"Forty-three million."
"Forty-nine million."
"Sixty million."
A cold male voice came from the conference hall, making everyone else's voice pale in comparison.
Everyone looked at the direction where the male voice came from.
That’s... Lu Jingxiao.
Lu Jingxiao directly avoided the price by 10 million.
That’s not all.
Because of his bid, no one dared to continue bidding.
They could also see that Lu Jingxiao liked this treasure.
Since he likes it, let him buy it. If you try to snatch it from him, not only will you not get it, but you will also offend Lu Jingxiao.
