Qiao Xi was embarrassed by her praise.
She took a fancy to two things in this auction brochure, and the starting prices were not particularly expensive.
Du Juan held her hand: "Let's go, this private auction is different from the last auction ceremony, we can't be late. We are going to go to work today, and our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are going to spend a lot of money."
"good."
Qiao Xi looked at her with a smile.
Since she and Huo Jiancheng had a conflict, Du Juan almost didn't take Huo Jiancheng with her when she came to see her.
Qiao Xi knew that this was her mother-in-law's thoughtfulness, and felt warm in her heart.
They walked out of the villa and Lao Chen opened the car door.
Du Juan introduced her to the rules of Rongde Auction House's small auctions along the way.
When they arrived at the entrance of the auction house, there were already several luxury cars parked in the parking lot.
No one expected that the small auction would be held in a European-style luxury garden villa. The attendant led them into the inner floor.
The first floor is the grand banquet hall with a very high dome.
A huge display screen hangs in the sky, showing the auction items in turn. The surrounding area has been filled with various meals and fine wines, specially designed for the guests to socialize with each other after the auction.
On the second floor is a ring-shaped auction box, but the box is semi-enclosed and separated by screens and book racks. The prying eyes are blocked out, but the soundproofing is not very good.
There is a box for each number plate, and Qiao Xi received number seven.
Qiao Xi and Du Juan entered the box and sat on the soft sofa. The waiter immediately brought a fruit plate, tea and snacks, and thoughtfully handed over a tablet.
"Mrs. Huo, young madam. You two only need to click the bid button on the tablet, and it will be displayed on the big screen. If you don't want it anymore, you can click Abandon the Bid on the side. The highest bidder in this auction will win, and fidelity will be followed. Principle. All collections must be appraised by Mr. Qi Sanshi."
The last time Rongde Auction House held an annual auction, a fake was sold, which made Huo Beiting lose face. At that time, the principle of fidelity was still not maintained, so Huo Beiting could only suffer the loss of being dumb.
Good this time!
Qiao Xi took the tablet and said softly: "Thank you."
She looked very novel, who would have thought that an auction could be so comfortable. The afternoon passed by eating, drinking, and spending money to buy things I liked.
Dujuan came over and played with it.
"This jade bracelet, this necklace... and this wedding ring." Du Juan loves jewelry the most, and her eyes light up when she sees these shiny things.
"Qiao Xi, I think these things are very suitable for you."
Qiao Xi saw so many zeros and waved her hands quickly: "My work is not suitable for wearing so many jewelry."
Du Juan disagreed: "The bracelet may be inconvenient, but the necklace is always suitable. And your fingers are bare. My son is really ignorant. You have been married for so long, and he doesn't even know how to buy a wedding ring."
Qiao Xi didn't care, she thought it would be fine if the two of them fell in love.
Du Juan liked her even more when she saw her cute appearance. She put down the tablet and said, "Qiao Xi, what time did you arrive last night? I saw that you were yawning and feeling sleepy in the car. Are you tired?"
Qiao Xi was shocked by her frankness, and she shook her head in panic.
"Men all have this kind of virtue. They are reluctant to let go of their flesh and bones. Especially those who are in good health and have no experience. Don't allow him to behave nonsense. Don't rely on your youth to think that you will recover quickly. Everything must be done in moderation. The fundamentals cannot be damaged.”
Dujuan This is a suggestion from someone who has experienced it.
Qiao Xi nodded sheepishly.
She studied medicine and understands this principle better. But when it comes to affection, I can't help myself.
Newlyweds, honey mixed with oil.
"cut."
From the box next to No. 6, a disdainful female voice came through the screen, "Short-sighted country people can only use some unflattering tricks."
Dujuan's face darkened: "How could the Rongde Auction House let a dog in? Whose dog can bark so well? It must not be crazy!"
The young girl next door was annoyed: "Who are you calling a dog?"
She was about to curse angrily, but she didn't know who persuaded her to stop.
Dujuan snorted coldly and raised her voice to stimulate: "You uneducated people should stay abroad and don't come back to pollute the air. I just said that the air today is so polluted. It seems that the air purifier needs to be turned on wherever there are certain people. device. Otherwise, you will be suffocated to death by a breath of stench..."
"you……"
"What are you? Your elders are still polite in front of me. Who do you think you are?" Du Juan spoke sharply and looked cold and stern.
The other party turns off the engine.
Qiao Xi was curious and lowered her voice and said, "Do you know who she is?"
Du Juan said softly: "Ye Zhimeng of the Ye family used to fawn over Xu Xingluo a lot in order to marry Xu Xiuyuan. Later, she was sent abroad by Mrs. Ye. Mrs. Ye didn't want her to be embarrassed, but she didn't expect to come back recently. Maybe Xu Xingluo has already gone to jail..."
Qiao Xi remembered this Mrs. Ye. Last time the Huo family celebrated his 70th birthday, Mrs. Ye's son Xiaolei choked on food, and it was she who provided first aid.
And Rongde Auction House is the dowry brought by Mrs. Ye’s natal family.
I heard that she is from the imperial capital and comes from a scholarly family.
"Is Ye Zhimeng her daughter?" She felt that her age was not right.
Du Juan shook her head: "She was adopted by the Ye family. I heard she was an orphan from an old friend's family. She could only call Mrs. Ye aunt. An outsider pretends to be a young lady and causes trouble every day."
Qiao Xi understood.
It seemed that Ye Zhimeng was not alone in box No. 6 next door. She also vaguely heard another young female voice.
Du Juan deliberately raised her voice: "Qiao Xi, if you meet people like this outside, don't be polite to them. You have to scold such a bitch, otherwise she won't know how much she weighs."
There was a commotion next door.
Qiao Xi's eyebrows curved: "Mom, I understand."
soon.
It's three o'clock in the afternoon.
Rongde's small auction has officially begun. There are only ten lots in this auction.
The first collection item quickly popped up on the big screen, which was a pair of pink diamond earrings with a starting price of 100,000.
This pair of earrings looks exquisite and beautiful, and the bidding has been going on in the box number six next door.
The price has soared to three hundred thousand.
Du Juan directly took the tablet and entered the high price of five hundred thousand.
This has exceeded the value of the pink diamond itself.
"No. 7 bids 500,000 yuan. Is there anything higher? Okay, we saw that VIP No. 6 bid 600,000 yuan."
"Six hundred thousand once!"
"Six hundred thousand twice!"
"Deal! Congratulations to VIP No. 6!"
Dujuan laughed: "Idiot, you'll be trapped in a minute."
She played with the little bitch next door and was in a good mood.
Qiao Xi asked: "How do you know she will definitely take pictures?"
Dujuan raised her chin proudly: "I have a special channel for gossip. She had begged Mrs. Ye for these pink diamond earrings a few days ago, but she had already announced that they were going to be auctioned. How could she give them away casually and break the rules? .”
"You are amazing."
Du Juan said: "You should learn from me and not be too honest. If we have a grudge, we will avenge it on the spot. If we can't avenge it, then we should lie low and dormant. It is not too late for a gentleman to seek revenge in ten years."
Qiao Xi nodded.
The second lot was displayed on the big screen. Qiao Xi couldn't help but sit up straight and look at the picture introduction intently.
