I have to tell the truth about Song Ning!
"Although there is currently no definitive evidence to prove that the gift box was sent by Cao Hongyuan, it seems that no one else would resort to such extreme means."
Qiao Bo handed Song Ning the information he had collected about Cao Hongyuan in the past two days.
"Cao Hongyuan is a lunatic, but he's also incredibly intelligent. Plus, he's protected by the Cao family and his married sisters, so he behaves erratically."
"but…"
Qiao Bo changed the subject, "Cao Hongyuan is actually a very contradictory person. If you say he's bad... he is indeed quite bad."
"But, everything he did had its reasons, and those who fell under his hands were not innocent..."
"Judging from his behavior, he doesn't seem like someone who would stand up for his parents. I just don't know why he attacked you this time."
This is also what Qiao Bo couldn't understand.
It's not necessarily true that Cao Hongyuan minds his half-brother Cao Ruosong. If Cao Hongyuan wants to deal with Cao Ruosong, it would be like playing a game.
But Cao Hongyuan didn't do that. He played like a cat playing with a mouse, letting it go and letting it go. Cao Ruosong was so angry that his teeth began to itch.
But Yili couldn't do anything about Cao Hongyuan.
The same goes for Cao Hongyuan's mother. As early as when Cao Hongyuan was in his teens, she could no longer control her son.
There were many times when Cao Hongyuan couldn't stand her behavior and would take the time to deal with her, his own mother.
Qiao Bo simply didn't believe that Cao Hongyuan attacked Song Ning because of his mother.
"Who cares what the reason is! Let's go meet him!"
Song Ning didn't want to embarrass herself, so she decided to meet the person in person if she had any questions.
With her attainments in metaphysics, what was there to be afraid of when Cao Hongyuan just pretended to be right in front of her?
"You're just going to find it like this?"
"You're just going to find it like this?"
"How about this?"
Song Ning raised an eyebrow in confusion, "Do I have to send a visiting card first to see him?"
"That's not the case..."
Qiao Bo smiled, pulled Song Ning's wrist, exerted a little force on his arm, and pulled Song Ning back to her seat.
"Grandpa Cao Hongyuan, the old man of the Cao family, is about to celebrate his 80th birthday. He's been making a big fuss these days, looking for some famous calligraphy and paintings as birthday gifts..."
Qiao Bo casually picked up a post from the pile of posts on the table and flipped through it, his eyes instantly lit up.
"Where did you get this post from?"
"It's probably just Zhang Tianyi or Professor Zhou who sent it..."
Song Ning glanced at it casually, then looked away without interest.
Antiques appreciation conference?
The name sounds boring!
“That’s right!”
Qiao Bo laughed. For an auction like this that only serves specific people, it would be difficult for wealthy families like the Wen and Qi families to get invitations, right?
Holding a small auction inside Panjiayuan, only someone like Zhang Tianyi, who is in the circle of the second generation in Beijing, and a connoisseur with a sharp eye like Professor Zhou, could give it away so easily!
"As long as you're interested!"
Song Ning showed little interest when the auction was mentioned. She was not interested in any kind of auction.
Even a jewelry auction is so-so.
Women always keep the same aesthetic taste as dragons, and Song Ning is no exception.
Compared to boring toys, she is more interested in shiny gems.
But since Qiao Bo wanted to go, Song Ning felt that she could still reluctantly accompany him...
"To participate in this auction, I have to pay a deposit first, and then verify my capital? This is so troublesome..."
Song Ning flipped through the invitation and rolled her eyes at the last line of small words in a bad mood.
"If it were just a deposit and capital verification, I wonder how many people in Beijing alone would be scrambling to attend this auction..."
"But this small auction has a limited number of attendees, and can only accommodate a few dozen people at a time, so this invitation is extremely valuable."
Qiao Bo obviously knew a lot about the auction. When he heard Song Ning's complaints, he told her everything in detail.
“Is it precious?”
Song Ning pointed at the pile of posts on the table without caring, "This one is much more valuable than the one in your hand..."
"The teacher said his face was a post, and since he couldn't handle these, he just sent them all to me, letting me pick one to broaden my horizons!"
Song Ning stared at the pile of posts with a bitter and resentful look, "But I don't want to go to any of them..."
"What's so good about those bottles, jars, antiques, calligraphy and paintings? I can't even see a single flower after staring at it for a long time..."
“This small auction at Panjiayuan is different…”
Qiao Bochong shook his head regretfully, "The items for this auction are not limited to those rare calligraphy and paintings. Some top luxury jewelry collections will also be put up for auction."
"I thought you would like these..."
"Any jewelry?"
Song Ning's eyes suddenly lit up, "Why didn't you say so earlier!"
"I'll ask Uncle Zhang to prepare..."
Song Ning said this and rushed off to find Uncle Zhang. She was determined to get those jewels!
A flash of frustration flashed across Qiao Bo's eyes, as if his efforts would never catch up with his wife's needs...
He searched for the auction post for several days, and unexpectedly found it on Song Ning's desk.
He should work harder!
…
"Miss Song Wan, the old lady asks you to come over..."
Aunt Zhang, who combed her hair meticulously, looked at Song Wan expressionlessly and said, "Yes."
That look...
Song Wan screamed in her heart. The look in Zhang Ma's eyes was the same as the look in Grandma Song's eyes when she looked at her.
In their eyes, she seemed to be a piece of useless mud that could not be helped!
But shouldn't Song Ning be the culprit behind all this?!
Although it was Song Ning who took everything from her, they all blamed her for bringing shame to the Song family.
Song Ning...
Why did she still appear in front of her? !
"I understand... Sorry to bother you!"
Song Wan pinched her hair with her fingers, and it took her 120% effort to cultivate her energy before she could force herself to smile at Aunt Zhang.
"Miss Song Wan, if you don't want to smile, please don't force yourself to smile at me. With the Song family behind you, you can live a little more arrogantly."
Aunt Zhang stared at Song Wan calmly, as if she could see through her skin to the depths of her soul.
In front of her, Song Wan always felt embarrassed as if her little thoughts were seen through.
Song Wan applied a little more force to her fingers, and her knuckles were slightly blue.
"plz follow me…"
Aunt Zhang lowered her head and looked away first.
Song Wan's eyes deepened. Aunt Zhang had followed Grandma Song since she was a child and was considered a dowry maid.
She has been alone all her life, without any relatives or friends. The Song family is her home, and Grandma Song has always treated her like a younger sister.
After following Grandma Song for a long time, Aunt Zhang also vaguely absorbed Grandma Song's aura.
Whenever Song Wan faced her, she always felt like she was being seen through.
Aunt Zhang is a special existence in the Song family. She is like a servant but not a master, but she has a lot of say.
Both Grandma Song and Grandpa Song were willing to listen to her opinions, which was why Song Wan was so respectful to her.
