28th floor of the Cloud Business Center.
Su Ruanruan went to great lengths to set up the venue, giving it a high-end and elegant atmosphere.
She also specifically brought Yan Jing along with her.
So, as soon as Huo Shaoting entered, he saw Miss Yan.
Tonight, she wore a black strapless velvet gown, with only a diamond necklace around her neck.
Her figure was tall and slender, incredibly beautiful.
Huo Shaoting was taken aback, unable to restrain himself from gazing at her.
Yan Jing turned her head.
Their eyes t, full of tenderness and entanglent.
Huo Shaoting’s throat tightened, his beautiful thin lips moved slightly.
Yan Jing was the sa, her eyes full of emotion, glimring like water inside,
At this mont, it seed as if everything around them ceased to exist, leaving only the two of them in the world.
Yet, it was precisely at this mont that they were interrupted.
Huo Shaoting’s wife, Chen Xishan, ca over, gently holding her husband’s hand with a soft smile: "Miss Yan, it’s unexpected that we would et again, rember last ti..."
Before she could finish speaking, Huo Shaoting let go of his wife’s hand.
With a cold voice, he said, "That’s enough, Chen Xishan!"
He then took another deep look at Yan Jing, nodded slightly, and sat down in his seat.
Chen Xishan didn’t leave imdiately; she pointed at Su Ruanruan with a sneer: "Miss Su, let tell you, no matter what tricks you play, I will remain unshaken in Yang City!"
Su Ruanruan, however, maintained her composure.
She smiled: "Then tonight, I’ll witness Mrs. Xishan’s prestige."
Chen Xishan raised her chin slightly, leaving with a touch of arrogance.
Yan Jing looked a bit worried.
Su Ruanruan patted her hand, saying: "Don’t worry! Everything is under control."
She then adjusted Yan Jing’s dress and whispered: "Trust , when a man is in front of the woman he loves, he loses all rationality! Just wait for Huo Shaoting to spend extravagantly for you."
Yan Jing blushed, filled with anticipation.
At this ti, the host took to the stage... although he was invited by Su Ruanruan, this was Yang City.
The host praised both the Huo and Zhou families highly.
That Mrs. Xishan, Huo Shaoting’s wife, was also specifically ntioned.
Chen Xishan stood up, smiling as she spoke a few words, gracefully and elegantly.
Applause rang out around the room.
Chen Xishan glanced in Su Ruanruan’s direction with a hint of disdain.
Whispering among the socialites:
[What a pity!]
[Yes, if she hadn’t offended Mrs. Xishan, this Miss Su could have achieved great things!]
[Exactly, of all people to offend!]
Su Ruanruan remained unconcerned.
She stood up, graciously thanked everyone, and then announced the start of the auction!
The first item was introduced.
Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Xu held back, staying still.
Because Su Ruanruan had instructed them to start bidding from the fifth item onward.
Though puzzled, they trusted Su Ruanruan’s guidance.
Now, the auction item was revealed.
For a long ti, silence fell over the venue.
The auctioneer, with no other option, repeatedly asked: "Is there no one interested in this brooch once worn by the Austrian queen?"
...
A long silence ensued.
Chen Xishan let out a knowing smile.
She stood up gently, saying: "Looks like this item will go unsold."
Her standing was a signal.
Chen Xishan had arranged for soone to suggest a change in the person in charge, then the auction would enter a fevered pitch... that was Mrs. Xishan’s cunning!
Sure enough, her arranged individual was about to stand up to cooperate.
Just at this critical mont, soone next to Chen Xishan suddenly raised a paddle: "8 million!"
The room was in an uproar.
The one who placed the bid wasn’t anyone else, but Chen Xishan’s husband, Huo Shaoting.
This conflict between husband and wife was definitely going to be interesting!
The socialites shivered montarily, instantly on alert...
