After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! Chapter 2305: Discordant Atmosphere



Qiao i sat in the first row and felt a little emotional. Back when she first married into the Xia family, many wealthy ladies had co to visit her while bearing invitation cards to their banquets, but all the cards had the words "Mrs. Xia" written on them. Everyone only invited Qiao i to show respect to the Xia family. The Qiao i now could call the shots on her own. Everyone in the capital knew who the na "Qiao i" was referring to.

"I know that you have big businesses in this country, but I never expect you to be so influential in the capital. It looks like you must be listed among the top 10 richest people in the country," Gao Long said admiringly.

Qiao i smiled and did not say anything. It was no exaggeration to proclaim that the value of Qiao i's current total assets ant she was ranked first in the country, not just one among the top 10! However, most of her assets still could not be taken out to be accounted for, otherwise she might be in danger! It was not ti for the rare treasures underground to make

an appearance.

"In the beginning, I also had to tap on the Xia family's influence. Then again, it must also be due to my good genes. How can any of our family mbers be incapable?" Qiao i said proudly.

Gao Long smiled dotingly. Before he t Qiao i, he had tried to imagine what her personality was like. He felt that she had to be as gentle and charming as Gao Tao. Most of the Gao family mbers were mild and refined and he definitely did not expect Qiao i to be the only Gao family mber with such an unruly personality.

Everyone sat down in their respective seats one after another. Qian'e led Nan Dong over to Qiao i's side. Before Qian'e even sat down, Qiao i sensed a strange aura that made her feel very uncomfortable.

Even though Nan Dong was wearing a mask, Qiao i could clearly feel that he had a provocative expression behind the mask.

"i i, you must have waited a long ti," Qian'e said as she held Qiao i's hand.

"It's fine with . About this gentleman... Do you want to make an introduction?" Qiao i asked as she raised her chin and threw Nan Dong an arrogant look.

"He's Nan Dong, my... boyfriend," Qian'e said shyly.

Nan Dong smiled and said, "Am I just your boyfriend?"

"Actually, we're already... engaged..." Qian'e continued.

Qiao i was very shocked. She did not expect Qian'e to fall in love so quickly. This did not gel with everything she knew and definitely not what she expected.

"You must still let your elders know about your marriage plans. You've already cut ties with your parents. Since you acknowledge my mother as your adoptive mother, you must introduce him to my mother," Qiao i said sternly.

Qiao i had never been so formal with Qian'e before. Qian'e could sense Qiao i's hostility towards Nan Dong and quickly said, "Of course. I have to seek Godmother's opinion."

Nan Dong smiled nonchalantly, as if he did not take all these words to heart. He did not even look unhappy at all. At this mont, Qiao i was very certain that Nan Dong did not et Qian'e by chance.

The gala was soon under way. After the emcee briefly introduced the rules for the night, the items on the auction list were brought out one by one.

The auctions held in this country were similar to those held overseas, so Qiao i was not really very interested. Instead, it was Gao Long who bought a lot of things and about 30% of the auction items went to him.

"Uncle, do you really like these things? They don't really match your style. Do you even like a pink court dress from the last century?" Qiao i asked as she looked at Gao Long in disbelief.

"I think it looks alright. It's mainly because this is such a rare opportunity. In the future, I can always give these things away as gifts," Gao Long said.

Qiao i silently gave him a thumbs up. Gao Long knew how to do his sums well. If not for the fact that Gao Long felt that it was too tiring to continue bidding, he would definitely buy everything on the auction list.

"This is an extraordinary hairpin! The gem on it may look black, but when the light shines on it! Everyone, please take a look! This is actually black jadeite! Moreover, it has excellent purity and color! The starting price is 200,000 dollars!" the emcee shouted.

Qiao i could tell at one glance that it was one of Gao Tao's belongings and part of that jewelry set. She had thought that most pieces from the jewelry set were overseas and did not expect to see a piece within the country.

Before Qiao i could even make a move, Nan Dong yelled out, "500,000!"

All the attendees were very shocked. Many won leaned forward to see which family this generous man was from.

"Mr. Nan, are you buying it for my elder sister?" Qiao i asked.

If Nan Dong's intention was to buy it for Qian'e, Qiao i could offer him a good price or use other jewelry she had at ho to exchange for it. However, Qiao i did not expect that Nan Dong did not intend to let her have it.

"No, I really like jade. This hairpin is a very rare item and I want to buy it for my own collection," Nan Dong said.
