Chapter 406: Xiao Lao is Uncomfortable
"Chen Qianxue!" Old Master Xiao scolded her with a sullen face, "What kind of occasion is it for you to be so talkative? Where is your quality and your self-restraint?"
"You want others to see that this is how my Xiao family educated you?"
The old man's accusations made Shen Qianxue's face lose all color.
She didn't expect the old man to scold her in public, and she was so scared that she said hurriedly: "Grandpa, I am telling the truth. Although the truth is unpleasant to hear, I was wrong...I shouldn't have embarrassed Wanwan in public."
Old Master Xiao said coldly: "Do you think this is an ordinary charity auction? Anyone can come? Those who can be invited are all dignitaries from all walks of life. I brought you here to broaden your horizons, not to embarrass me."
Shen Qianxue was so frightened that she was silent, her face pale.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry... I know I was wrong."
"I'm not the one you should apologize to!" Old Master Xiao turned his head and wanted to talk to Shen Wan with a smile.
But Shen Wan didn't even look at him and completely ignored him.
“Wan…Chen Wan, I’m sorry that I didn’t discipline Shen Qianxue well, please don’t take it to heart.”
Mr. Xiao was talking about Shen Qianxue, not Xiao Qianxue.
"Yeah, Wanwan, I was just confused for a moment and was just joking with you. Are you angry?" Shen Qianxue didn't notice that the old man had changed the way he addressed her, and apologized to Shen Wan.
Chen Wan ignored the two of them from beginning to end, as if they didn't exist.
Su Nana said angrily, "Mr. Xiao, your granddaughter's character is not very good. Master Shen is a distinguished guest invited by our Su family. She humiliated Master Shen in public. Isn't that a slap in the face of our Su family?"
Shen Qianxue quickly said: "It's just a joke, Miss Su, there's no need to make such a big deal, right?"
Su Nana snorted coldly and was about to say something when the host announced a halftime break. Old Man Su pulled Su Xuan over and interrupted them.
"Master Shen!" Old Man Su greeted Shen Wan warmly.
Shen Wan just nodded faintly.
Seeing that Shen Wan responded to outsiders but ignored him, Mr. Xiao suddenly felt uncomfortable.
Ignoring is the best attitude to express that the other person is not worth your attention at all.
Wanwan ignored him and Shen Qianxue, which just proved that they didn't exist in her heart or eyes.
This stimulated his heart more than any verbal response.
Old Man Su pushed Su Xuan in front of Shen Wan and smiled brilliantly: "Xuan Xuan, go say hello to Master Shen!"
Su Xuan was hindered by his grandfather, so he reluctantly stretched out his hand to Chen Wan, "Hello, I'm Su Xuan."
Shen Wan glanced at him, did not shake hands, and just said indifferently: "Hello."
When Su Xuan saw Shen Wan's arrogant attitude, he suddenly felt an inexplicable anger in his heart.
He had inquired before coming here, and found out that this Shen Wan was actually the sister of Shen Moyan, a genius in his class.
I heard that Shen Wan was also there during the explosion at the research institute.
No wonder Shen Moran hates this sister.
He also hates it when he sees it.
On the contrary...
Su Xuan’s eyes fell on Shen Qianxue beside him.
Shen Qianxue lowered her head, her eyes were red, tears were falling uncontrollably, and she looked very aggrieved.
Su Xuan gentlemanly took out a handkerchief from his suit pocket and gave it to her.
Shen Qianxue took the handkerchief, her voice soft and gentle: “Thank you.”
"You're welcome." Su Xuan smiled a little more.
Seeing that his grandson was attracted by Shen Qianxue, Old Man Su was immediately unhappy and nudged him with his elbow, signaling him to get closer to Shen Wan.
Su Xuan looked unwilling, "Grandpa, why do you always make me do this?"
Old Man Su said awkwardly: "What do you mean by warming your face to a cold butt? Master Shen is a real master of metaphysics. What's wrong with a master having a bit of temper?"
"Didn't I tell you everything was fine when we were at home? Why did you change so suddenly?"
Su Xuan stubbornly didn’t want to say another word to Shen Wan, but his peripheral vision couldn’t help but look towards Shen Qianxue.
Of course Shen Qianxue noticed the way Su Xuan looked at her.
She wiped her tears, raised her head, looked at him with her wet eyes, and said with a strong smile: "Master Su, I'm sorry, I soiled your handkerchief. Can I return it to you after I wash it, or should I buy you a new one?"
Su Xuan smiled gently: "It's just a handkerchief, not worth mentioning."
Old Man Su was originally going to talk about the eldest grandson, but when he saw Old Man Xiao next to Shen Qianxue, he immediately reacted.
"So it's Brother Xiao and Miss Xiao. I'm so sorry."
Since Da Sun doesn't like Master Shen, then forget it.
Miss Xiao's status is no worse than Master Shen's.
Old Man Su greeted Old Man Xiao with a smile, and the two chatted casually.
Old Master Xiao's attention was all on Shen Wan. He wanted to say something, but due to the occasion and the presence of outsiders, he couldn't open his mouth.
He thought that after the auction was over, he would have to find a way to meet Wanwan alone.
He wanted to tell Wanwan in person that he and she were family!
After the intermission, the atmosphere of the auction reached its climax.
Everything that was brought up was a precious antique.
Shen Wan was not interested at all and just watched indifferently.
"The next top lot to be auctioned is a Yuan Dynasty blue and white plum vase with a painting of Xiao He chasing Han Xin under the moon. This is a rare treasure among flower porcelains and a national treasure. The starting price is 30 million. The auction has begun."
Following the host's order.
Shen Qianxue immediately sat up straight and said to Mr. Xiao in a flattering manner: “Grandpa, I will definitely buy this top-notch collection and give it to you.”
Mr. Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Okay, you must take a picture of it for me."
Many people took a fancy to this collection and raised their hands to bid for it.
Soon the price rose from 30 million to 300 million.
"Three hundred million once."
The host just finished reading.
Shen Qianxue then raised the sign elegantly, “I’ll offer 350 million.”
"To be honest, this piece of art is very valuable, but it's still not worth it to pay over 300 million yuan."
"Yeah, we're not as wealthy as the Xiao family. After all, this is a charity auction, so the items will be more expensive. Forget it."
When people from all walks of life who were originally interested heard the price, they all gave up.
Shen Qianxue looked confident, just when she thought she could win.
Sunana slowly raised the sign, "Four hundred million."
Shen Qianxue’s face changed, “Miss Su, as the organizer, why are you still competing with me?”
Sunana smiled and said, "Whoever has money makes the bid. That's normal."
My father said that when he saw Master Shen taking a second look at the bottle backstage, he told her to take a picture of it in the second half and give it to Master Shen in the name of the entire Su family.
Besides, as long as he could dampen Xiao Qianjin's arrogance and make her suffer a setback, he would feel even better.
Shen Qianxue had no choice but to shout: “I’ll pay 500 million.”
Su Nana said calmly: "Six hundred million."
Shen Qianxue frowned: “Six hundred and fifty million.”
Su Nana was calmer, "Eight hundred million."
Shen Qianxue couldn’t help but take a breath, this Su Nana is crazy, spending 800 million just to buy a bottle?
If she hadn't promised the old man to give it to him, she really wanted to give up.
But now she is in a dilemma.
Shen Qianxue had no choice but to bite the bullet and yell, “One billion!”
