"Ningning, I'm planning to attend an auction later. Do you want to come with me?" Huo Nanchu asked softly.
“An auction? That sounds interesting, I want to go,” Huo Jinning replied excitedly.
"Then go change your clothes first, we'll leave in a bit."
"No problem, just wait a moment."
Huo Jinning responded excitedly, then quickly ran upstairs to change her clothes.
"Don't rush, move slowly, be careful not to fall."
Watching the figure running upstairs, Huo Nanchu gave a somewhat worried remark.
"This child is always so energetic and impulsive, I really don't know who he took after," Zhao Qiuying said, shaking her head helplessly.
"Boss, are you taking Ningning with you?" Huo Shan asked curiously from the side.
“Well, this auction will showcase a lot of raw stones. I think Ningning might be able to spot some clues. Even if she can't, it would be good to go to the West Lake District and join in the fun,” Huo Nanchu explained patiently.
The Huo family owns a well-known jewelry company and has a huge demand for high-quality jadeite.
This auction is held annually, and some people may become rich overnight by cutting it open, while others may go bankrupt as a result.
The Huo Group has always purchased some rough stones for its own mining, and occasionally bids on high-quality jadeite that has been mined by others.
Huo Nanchu decided to drive Ningning to their destination himself, so he did not use the family driver.
A gentle breeze caressed my face along the way, making me feel exceptionally relaxed.
The atmosphere inside the car was quiet and peaceful, but Huo Jinning was secretly thinking about some things.
Suddenly, she asked, "By the way, big brother, what do you think of Zhou Haoran?"
The reason Huo Jinning mentioned this person was because she had a chance encounter with Xu Xiaoran yesterday.
Recalling the scene at that time, she couldn't help but feel a little regretful, hoping that Xu Xiaoran could get what she wanted.
In the original novel, Zhou Haoran's lifelong unmarried status and Xu Xiaoran's departure from Beijing were only mentioned briefly, but now that they have become real people, it is really hard to ignore them.
Huo Jinning thought that if they tried to get to know each other, there might be a good outcome.
After all, judging from the plot presented in the original work, this relationship seems quite regrettable for both sides.
Hearing her sister's question, Huo Nanchu was slightly surprised and pressed further, "Haoran? Why are you suddenly interested in him? Have you already met?"
Faced with her brother's persistent questioning, Huo Jinning replied somewhat awkwardly, "No, I've never met him. I was just curious about what people who study medicine are like."
There was a hint of awkwardness in his words.
[I've never seen that before.]
[It's just that he's about to lose his child and his wife.]
[I'll be alone for the rest of my life from now on.]
[How pitiful!]
[I think it would be a real shame if Xu Xiaoran, who has liked him for so many years, missed this rare opportunity to be together.]
[However, relationships involve two people. I don't know if it would be good if I forced my way in.]
[This is so hard, why do I have to know so much?]
I've made up my mind...
[Eat two more bowls of rice when you get back to replenish your energy.]
When Huo Nanchu first heard that Zhou Haoran was about to lose his wife and children, he frowned. But then his sister mentioned that she wanted to eat two more bowls of rice, and his previous sadness vanished instantly.
He looked at Huo Jinning with affection, but also shook his head helplessly.
"Haoran is not only intelligent, ambitious, and responsible, but also loyal to his friends. He is a person with many rare and valuable qualities," Huo Nanchu commented truthfully.
"He's really that nice? Is he handsome?"
"Hmm... how to describe it? I'd say the refined... type. You'll see when you meet him."
As for the word "scoundrel," it's best not to say it, for fear of leaving a bad impression on Huo Jinning. Moreover, Zhou Haoran's slightly cunning personality was not mentioned either.
"How about tomorrow then?"
[We can't delay any longer. If we continue, we might lose the baby, and by then it will be too late even if we create another chance for them.]
But... how am I supposed to say it?
[You can't exactly tell him directly that if he misses out on Xu Xiaoran, he'll be single for life!]
Huo Jinning frowned deeply.
"Okay, I'll call him later to ask if he's free tomorrow. If we don't make an appointment in advance, he might have to go back to the operating room and get busy again."
"Yes, big brother, you're so kind," Huo Jinning said gratefully.
This older brother is incredibly good to his younger sister.
[I think this is a bit too much pampering.]
[If I were still a child, this would have spoiled me rotten.]
[They give you whatever you want, without asking why.]
[It was this very personality trait that led to his downfall; he was ultimately deceived by a friend and died abroad.]
[well! ]
Huo Nanchu was initially pleased by Huo Jinning's praise, but when the other party mentioned his death overseas, he couldn't get over it.
To divert attention, Huo Nanchu quickly said, "Ningning, when we get there, if you see any stones you like, just buy them."
However, Huo Jinning was puzzled by this suggestion and asked, "Why would I buy stones?"
Clearly, they don't know anything about the place they're going to today.
Upon seeing this, Huo Nan quickly explained, "Today's auction is actually dedicated to auctioning rough jadeite stones. I forgot to mention that."
