But Cheng Xi will not hate him because of this. After all, Cheng Zheyu has no reason to always stand on his side. Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages has always been the most obvious characteristic of human beings.
"Master Qin," Cheng Zheyu withdrew his eyes and noticed the eyes of the man standing next to Cheng Xi lit up. "You and my sister know each other. Why haven't I heard her say this before?"
Qin Ye is the only heir of the Qin family. Although there has been an illegitimate child recently, everyone knows that illegitimate children are unworthy of publicity. Not to mention fighting for the family property, even whether they can live safely has to be seen. The expression on the Qin family's face.
"Really?" Qin also glanced at Cheng Xi, who was pretending to be dead, and said with a smile, "Then I guess your relationship with her is not good. After all, Xixi and I are childhood sweethearts. How could we not be together?" We know each other, right Xixi."
If it weren't for Qin Ye's face, Cheng Xi would have wanted to kick him immediately. Wouldn't this get more confusing the more he explains it?
"No, Master Qin is joking with you, eldest brother. He likes to joke the most." Cheng Xi laughed and laughed, completely ignoring Qin Ye's face next to him, which was already dark.
Cheng Zheyu wanted to say something more, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was stopped by someone. Not far away, Cheng Xin stared at him with watery eyes and said: "Brother, can you come here, I seem to be in some trouble. "
Cheng Zheyu was in a dilemma for a moment. He looked back and forth between Cheng Xi and Cheng Xin a few times, and finally made a decision and said, "Xixi, I'll go take a look."
"Okay..." Before Cheng Xi could even finish her words, Cheng Zheyu turned around and walked in the direction of Cheng Xin.
Qin Ye sneered and said angrily: "Look, you are not very important in your good brother's heart."
Just as Cheng Xi was about to give this bitchy task target a kick, she saw a provocative look from Cheng Xin. She was wearing a jellywell haute couture—a light yellow tutu. Cheng Xi remembered this. The clothes looked good on the model, but on Cheng Xin, they looked a bit dark. Not only that, her makeup today was also particularly bad. Her high ponytail was paired with pink eyeshadow. People who didn't know it thought she was... Come to sing.
Coupled with her shriveled figure, Cheng Xin now looks like a child wearing adult clothes, funny and ridiculous.
In fact, Cheng Xi never understood why Cheng Xin had so much malice towards the original owner, so he would always try to squeeze her out, and even fight for her favor, trying to gain a sense of presence everywhere.
Looks like a clown.
Cheng Xi was amused by the idea that suddenly popped up in her mind. She put her finger on her lips and laughed softly. Qin also heard the movement and turned his head to look at her and asked: " What are you laughing at?"
"It's just a clown, let's go meet Liu Rong." Cheng Xi said as he raised the cup in his hand and clinked it to Cheng Xin who was not far away, and successfully saw the girl's distorted expression.
Cheng Xi's mood immediately improved, and her smile became more sincere when talking to those rich kids.
Looking at Cheng Xi's bright smile, Cheng Xin was shaking with anger. She felt that the reason why this woman came here was to steal her limelight, and she deliberately dressed up so beautifully. She didn't know who she was trying to seduce! If it weren't for the name of Miss Cheng's family, how could she have known these rich and noble people? She had always occupied the magpie's nest.
She suppressed her anger and secretly vowed to make Cheng Xi embarrassed at the banquet today. She would trample this woman under her feet!
This banquet was actually a charity auction. Qin Ye took the promotional brochure from the waiter's hand, handed it to Cheng Xi and said, "Take a look and see if there's anything you like. I'll take a photo of it and give it to you."
This was Cheng Xi's first time attending such a banquet. She looked through the thin booklet in her hand. This time, there were only ten collections, all of which were jewelry. She shouldn't be interested in these, so she shook her head. He said: "Forget it, I don't particularly like it, so you don't need to give it to me."
Qin Ye did not answer when he heard this, but just looked at her small earlobes thoughtfully. He remembered that there seemed to be a pair of earrings at this auction before.
The auction started soon. Cheng Xi followed Qin and sat in the first row, while the Cheng family sat on their right. Cheng Zheyu and Cheng's mother didn't talk to her anymore, and Cheng Xi could only pretend not to see them. .
The first few auction items were sold quickly, and most of them ended in the second round of bidding. Soon the last item in the collection was sold - a pair of ruby earrings.
Under the illumination of the light, the pair of earrings shone with dazzling light. The golden ear pins and rubies made her look like a glamorous queen of high society, unconsciously attracting everyone's attention.
Cheng Xi was sitting with her legs crossed. She was admiring the manicure she had just changed with her eyelids lowered, when she suddenly heard Qin Ye beside her calling out the price: "One million."
Cheng Xi raised her head blankly and saw the man's delicate profile. The long and upturned eyelashes and tall nose gave him a unique charm at first glance. She leaned over and asked softly: "What do you want?" Shoot this?"
"Yeah." Qin also nodded.
Cheng Xin, who was sitting next to her, thought Cheng Xi liked the pair of earrings. She raised the sign without hesitation and shouted: "One million and one hundred thousand."
Seeing that Cheng Xin dared to openly challenge the Qin family, everyone present began to whisper. As a businessman, Cheng Zheyu naturally knew the stakes involved, so he tugged on Cheng Xin's sleeve and said, "Don't talk about this. Master Qin robbed it, my brother will buy it for you when you go back..."
"two millions!"
Before Cheng Zheyu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Qin Ye's bidding. He was about to look up when Cheng Xin, who was sitting next to him, raised the sign in his hand again and said: "Two One million and four hundred thousand.”
Cheng Zheyu's temples were twitching. Although this was an auction on the surface, and everyone had a chance to bid and the competition was fair, as long as there were humans, there would definitely be "humanity and sophistication." The sophistication of people at this auction is that no one will compete with their potential partners. After all, it is not a glorious thing to win love with a sword.
But why is Cheng Xin so ignorant today? She has already said not to increase the price any more, so why does she continue to shout? Thinking of this, Cheng Zheyu sounded a little impatient and said: "Stop increasing the price, Cheng Xin."
Cheng Xin was still very proud of her increase in price. She could even imagine the angry expression of the woman. But seeing Cheng Zheyu's gloomy expression, she couldn't help but be a little scared, and the hand holding the sign began to tremble slightly.
"What's wrong, brother?" she asked cautiously.
