Chapter 188 Meng's Charity Gala
A week passed quickly.
On this day, Meng Yitong took a comfortable nap at home.
In the evening, Meng Yitong was full of energy, put on some delicate makeup, and set off for Qiu Shui Villa.
Qiu Shui Villa is a holiday villa that the Meng family has invested heavily in building in recent years, which integrates leisure and entertainment.
Although it was not stated explicitly, Meng Yitong could guess after a brief thought that Qiu Shui Villa must have been a villa rebuilt for Meng Wanbai by the Meng family in order to compensate her.
And perhaps because of the comparison with Bishui Villa, the Meng family obviously spent more manpower and material resources on Qiushui Villa.
As soon as she entered the gate of the villa, Meng Yitong was attracted by the rockery waterfall at the entrance.
Although she didn't know the exact amount of money the Meng family spent to build this villa, but just from looking at this rockery waterfall, Meng Yitong knew that the Meng family must have spent a huge amount of money.
After entering the villa, Meng Yitong quickly found the hall where the event was held following the activity signs on the roadside.
After handing the car to the service staff, Meng Yitong walked into the hall calmly.
There were a lot of people in the hall. Meng Yitong only took a quick glance and knew that most of the famous people in the circle of wealthy families in the capital had come.
The people who were chatting immediately noticed Meng Yitong.
Soon a group of ladies gathered around in twos and threes.
Because she had her own little plans in mind, Meng Yitong was also happy to make friends with these ladies.
When she learned that every lady present needed to provide an auction item, Meng Yitong directly took off the jewel bracelet on her hand.
This gem bracelet was specially designed for Meng Yitong by Zhuo's mother when she gave birth in Country C.
Under normal circumstances, Meng Yitong would naturally be reluctant to auction off this jewel bracelet.
However, she did not prepare any additional auction items before coming to this charity gala.
Among all the jewelry on her body, this bracelet is undoubtedly the most suitable one.
So Meng Yitong didn't hesitate and handed the bracelet over directly.
She was going to buy it at the auction later anyway, so it was just a formality.
And just at this moment, Mother Meng suddenly came over.
When Meng Yitong saw the bracelet she placed on the tray, her mother suddenly became a little anxious.
Without thinking too much, Mother Meng took off the imperial green jade bracelet on her wrist and replaced it with Meng Yitong's gem bracelet.
While changing the bracelet, Meng's mother scolded him, "Child, this bracelet was designed by your mother-in-law herself. How can you treat it so casually?"
When Zhuoying gave this bracelet to Meng Yitong, Meng's mother was also present.
Although she doesn't know how much the bracelet is worth, Meng's mother is very clear about the meaning it represents, so she will never let her daughter auction it.
As Mother Meng spoke, she put the bracelet on Meng Yitong again.
Upon hearing this, the ladies nearby couldn't help but exchange glances with each other.
They had also heard of the first lady of the Qin family.
I heard that this lady is the heiress of a jewelry family, a master of jewelry design, and even a master of jewelry collection.
The jewelry she made must be worth a lot of money.
The eldest lady of the Qin family is really generous.
It was just a charity gala, but such precious collections were taken out.
When the ladies thought of this, they couldn't help but secretly look at Mrs. Qin who was sitting diagonally opposite them.
Mrs. Qin arrived early today, and the auction item she submitted was an antique vase.
Although the item looks very good, it is obviously not as good as the gem bracelet of Mrs. Qin.
And judging from the fact that Madam Qin and Young Master Qin's wife came to attend the charity gala today, the relationship between Madam Qin and Young Master Qin's wife is obviously not harmonious.
Even when the two of them came to attend this kind of charity gala, they came in batches.
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that the relationship between these two people is very unusual.
Based on this point, looking at the second wife of the Meng family who is having a good chat with Madam Qin at this moment, this is worth pondering.
Meng Yitong, who didn't notice the changes in the expressions of the ladies next to her, said to Mother Qin helplessly, "Mom, don't worry. Although I handed it in, I will definitely take it back."
Hearing this, Mother Meng nodded Meng Yitong's head helplessly and said, "Child, how do you know you can take it back?"
"Don't you see what kind of occasion this is? Which of the ladies here is not powerful?"
"If something goes wrong and you don't take the photo, what will you do?"
After saying this, Mother Meng greeted the ladies around her, then took Meng Yitong aside and changed the subject, saying, "You are stupid. This gem bracelet of yours is obviously worth a lot of money."
"Even if you can keep raising the price, the final price is still yours to pay."
"Why do you have to spend so much money to support the people in the second house?"
"I'm telling you, in this kind of situation, just bring something worthless and show your appreciation. There's no need to be serious about it..."
Seeing that Mother Meng was still trying to lecture her, Meng Yitong interrupted her and said, "It's not to support the second wife, this money is raised for charity..."
Before Meng Yitong could finish, her mother interrupted and said, "Who knows what this money can be used for in the end?"
"Don't have any expectations for your second uncle's family. They are very clever."
"I've never seen the Meng family do any charity before, but now they're suddenly holding this charity gala. I can see there's something fishy going on."
"Maybe the second house has spent too much money in recent years and its income is not enough to cover its expenses, so it is just looking for an excuse to make some money."
"But these rich ladies are really stupid and have a lot of money. I just passed by the booth at the back and saw a lot of good things in it."
"Those things are auction items provided by these rich ladies."
"Tsk tsk tsk... Your second aunt's family is really smart. With just a random idea, so many people rushed to give money. It's really easy..."
Meng Yitong couldn't help but fall into deep thought after listening to what Meng's mother said.
Meng Yitong had never found out about this before, but after hearing what Meng's mother said today, she realized that the Meng Group had never done any charity before.
It is indeed a bit funny that a family that has never done any charity is suddenly organizing a charity gala.
But even so, these ladies and wives still made donations. What is the reason for this?
Do they really have so much money that they don’t care at all?
Or is it because of the merits of what I have done before?
If it's because of me, then I absolutely can't let them just step on me to get to the top.
When Meng Yitong thought of this, her eyes couldn't help but become firm.
