After the auction of the main event, the drinking party became a group of conversations.

Except for a small number of people who came for the auctions, most of the remaining guests undoubtedly wanted to take this opportunity to meet more friends from all walks of life and expand their business contacts, and the so-called thank-you reception became their own social time.

Soothing music plays on a loop in the vast ballroom, and the self-service dishes on the ornate long European tables are exquisitely sophisticated and classy. On each long table is a carved white porcelain vase with soft and blooming pink roses, the fragrance of flowers wafting in the air, and the quiet environment has an indescribable ambiguity.

Bai Wanyan sat by the window with a wine glass, drinking the red wine in the glass unhurriedly.

The faint moonlight reflected on her cheeks through the window, as if coated with a soft halo, making her facial features more refined. The bright red one-shoulder dress with its explicit charm will inevitably make people feel gaudy, but when it is worn on Bai Wanyan's body, it is neutralized by her unique temperament and becomes a bit of a different style.

This time, Bai Wanyan will come to Wucheng, which is the meaning of Bai Mu, the second master of the Bai family.

The Bai family has always taken care of Bai Yicong's whereabouts from this family master, and the four veins of the Bai family have their own thoughts and calculations, the first of which is Bai Mu, who regards Bai Yicong as a thorn in the flesh.

The reason behind this is simple, it is nothing more than the coveting of rights.

Outsiders may not know anything, but what the position of the head of the Bai family represents, it is a tacit secret within the Bai family. Therefore, no matter how prosperous the jade business's business is, no matter how high its status in the industry is, Bai Mu will not be able to really overpower Bai Yicong's limelight.

The secrets of that treasure alone are enough to tell a lot.

The Bai family once had a half-truth and half-false hidden rumor, it is said that the ancestor once found a treasure, called the treasure of the relict king. Among them, only generations of family heads can spy on one or two, and when it was passed on to Bai Yi's generation, he already didn't know whether it was true or not.

However, at some point, these secrets were rediscovered.

There was actually a rumor in the four veins of the Bai family, and the sudden illness of Bai Yan, the previous head of the Bai family, and Bai Yuqiu's death were all related to that mysterious treasure in some way. Those secret rumors that only the previous family heads knew about somehow reached Bai Mu's ears, and he was therefore very concerned about those things that should have been understated.

A year ago, Bai Yicong had disappeared for a while, and no one knew where he had gone.

When he returned, he didn't say anything about the experience, and he didn't show anything out of the ordinary. In the next few family meetings, it was intentionally revealed that it was just an ordinary business trip, and a few words blocked everyone's mouths.

Of course, Bai Mu does not believe such a statement.

Second Master Bai knew that Bai Yicong's trip might be to explore that treasure, not to mention far away, it was very strange that he couldn't find any clues just from the Bai family's connections throughout the antique industry. But if you don't believe it, there is no other way, Bai Mu can't question Bai Yicong's treasure in public, after all, these shouldn't be things he knows.

If you dig deeper, he is the one who ends up riding a tiger and it is difficult to get into the situation.

After that, of course, Bai Mu tried his best to spy on Bai Yicong's tone, but Bai Yi never wanted others to know about things, so how could he ask why?

Consciously asked nothing in the mouth of the person concerned, and some people transferred the breakthrough to Bai Yicong's special assistant, but Dong Nan has always been well-trained, he is the most powerful knife by Bai Yicong's side, and he acts quite rigorously, so naturally he will not do anything to betray the boss, and those who try to catch the wind and catch the shadow will return again.

Even Liu Mu, who has always been good friends with Bai Yicong, is unusually this time.

This cynical boy has always been a mouthful, and he dares to say anything after thirty years of drinking, presumably someone asked him if Mr. Liu had a secret lover, and Liu Mu did not hesitate to say a few words about his father's romance. But for Bai Yicong's itinerary, he was silent and refused to mention it.

No matter how suspicious the people led by Bai Mu were, they couldn't get a definite result from these things.

They had to swallow all the suspicions back into their stomachs and investigate privately from the clues.

A few days ago, Bai Mu suddenly heard that Bai Yicong met with He Manzhou. Prior to this, the Tianwentang Museum had never had any contact with the Bai family before, and it stands to reason that Bai Yicong, as the big boss of Bai Yulou, would develop new partners or formulate work plans, which is a normal thing.

But the strange thing is that that person is He Manzhou.

It is no secret that Bai Yicong has recently paid too much attention to the Tianwentang Museum, and what happened to these things has become a problem for Bai Mu.

And this time, Bai Wanyan came to Wucheng in person to test Bai Yicong's attitude.

In other words, his attitude towards He Manzhou.

The gentle music echoed in the banquet hall, and the bright crystal lamps reflected the beautiful light and shadow, making Bai Wanyan's figure graceful and charming, He Manzhou watched boredly from the side, and really didn't know what he was here for.

She said in her heart, with flowers and green leaves, does Boss Bai want her to see what the Bai family's well-known courtesan looks like, give her a dismount, and humiliate herself?

"Hey, Bai Yicong, are you idle and have nothing to do?" He Manzhou became more and more aggrieved the more he thought about it, and muttered in a low voice, "What are you trying to do by turning me over here, let me tell you, my time is very precious, if I don't have anything serious, I can go buy a ticket back to City Z early tomorrow morning." ”

Bai Yi never took He Manzhou's half-complaining threat seriously, and he didn't bother to raise his eyelids.

"Don't you dare, you don't want to ignore me?"

This time, Bai someone couldn't continue to be silent, and it was golden.

He turned his head to look at the little girl, and his low and beautiful voice was deliberately suppressed, which was already appeased in Bai Yicong's opinion.

"Be nice. ”

"It's not...... Don't be perfunctory to me......"

"Sit by yourself for a while and be obedient. ”

He Manzhou: "......."

For Boss Bai's eyes, as well as this coaxing child's tone, who can bear it?

He Manzhou only felt that a thousand words were so easily scolded. Okay, I don't seem to have much to do with the dialogue.

And over there, the courtesan is full of thoughts, and it is catalyzed by alcohol and becomes an invisible charm.

As the second lady of the Bai family, she is the second most influential figure in this young generation after Bai Yicong, and behind it is the power that represents the jade line of the Bai family. Even if someone wants to talk to him, he must first see if his identity is qualified and whether he has the capital to talk to Miss Bai. In addition, her invisible temperament makes people feel quite unapproachable, so that the men passing by frequently cast admiring glances, but almost no one dares to really come forward to talk.

But there are exceptions.

Like now—

It was a young man in formal clothes, the white suit made his eyebrows and eyes a little cold, his well-defined cheeks were almost sharp, and his cold eyes were more like frost and snow, with an aura that no one should enter.

The one who came was Bai Yicong.

After pacifying He Manzhou, Bai Yi walked over with a wine glass and stopped opposite Bai Wanyan generously.

And as soon as he sat down, Bai Wanyan raised his cup and gestured from afar, and drank the rest of it by himself.

"Cousin, long time no see. ”

Bai Yicong didn't say no to this, and the corners of his lips slightly curled up in response.

When treating Bai Yicong, Bai Wanyan can be described as polite and thoughtful. Although they are cousins and sisters, they are also of similar age, and they are relatives in both affection and reason, but the relationship between Bai Mu and Bai Yicong has always been tense, and the relationship between their juniors is far from having a deep friendship.

Compared with the identity of "cousin", Bai Wanyan first regarded Bai Yicong as the head of the Bai family.

"Cousin, I was really surprised that you could attend this charity auction, I originally thought that you would not be able to participate in this kind of Vanity Fair, but I was a little surprised to see you today. ”

"Didn't you know I was coming?" Bai Yi never disdained those senseless politeness, and said bluntly, "Otherwise, how would I see you here?"

"Ha, cousin, you still speak so directly...... After all, the last time we saw each other was at a family dinner last winter, and I haven't seen each other for so long, and I don't know what my cousin is busy with. ”

"Don't you know?" Bai Yi hooked from the corner of his lips, "The second uncle's informant can be changed." ”

Bai Wanyan was choked enough, but she didn't seem to care at all.

She picked up the wine glass and touched Bai Yicong gently, and turned the awkward page, still smiling.

The banquet hall is decorated in the style of a European court, and the ceiling is hung with crystal chandeliers decorated with gilt tassels. Bai Wanyan's hair hanging down her cheeks covered the emotions under her eyes, leaving only just the right amount of charm and moving.

And when she gently raised the corners of her lips, this smile made the look on her face come alive.

"Since there are exceptions to everything, then this charity auction must have attracted some kind of cousin for you to attend in person, right?"

Bai Yicong was noncommittal about this, his fingers rubbed against the wall of the goblet, did not interrupt Bai Wanyan's analysis, nor did he make any response, which meant to listen to what smallpox she could say.

"Let me think about it....." Of course, Bai Wanyan didn't need to respond, but continued unhurriedly.

"Today is the bureau of my aunt's house, my father just happened to have some business in Wucheng, so he thought that they were all a family, and if there was any use for us, of course we had to contribute. Amuna kid didn't have any way to speak, and he inadvertently told me a lot of inside information, don't be angry. ”

"What did he say?" Bai Yicong asked.

"He told me that you asked him to hold this auction, and that you were interested in taking this opportunity to promote cooperation. Bai Wanyan stretched out her voice, with obvious temptation, "I didn't believe it at first, who could have such a big row to make my cousin so attentive." Who knew that I would come and take a look today....... Tsk, so, my cousin shouldn't really come here for the Tianwentang Museum, right?"

"So what?" Bai Yi turned his head from the side, "What's the matter, what's not it?"

"Of course, it can't be like that, I'm just curious. Bai Wanyan smiled coquettishly and movingly, her voice was very light, and the contest was placed in the dark, at first glance, it really looked like a little girl who hadn't seen her brother for a long time was joking coquettishly, but between the lines was confrontation and pulling.

"Exceptions are always accompanied by unusual concern and an excess desire to know, something that girls understand. If I'm not mistaken, my cousin is very interested in that girl named He Manzhou, and today's charity auction is also because of her, right? ”

Regarding Bai Wanyan's self-conscious speech, Bai Yicong did not move.

This cousin never hesitates to show her charms, she is beautiful enough and smart enough, and she is used to showing her intelligence in front of others without restraint. Bai Yicong sometimes feels that she lives like a delicate marionette, delicate and beautiful, but not like herself.

But there is one sentence, Bai Wanyan is not wrong - Bai Yicong is indeed interested in He Manzhou.

In other words, he didn't mind that the people of the Bai family knew that he took special care of He Manzhou.

In the short silence, Bai Wanyan felt that she had guessed something, so that the smile in those beautiful eyes became a little thicker.

"Did you make me guess right, cousin?" she glanced at Bai Yicong with interest, and continued with a smile in her tone, "Since Miss He is an exception to her cousin, she naturally has to cherish it and give her different treatment, don't you say?"

"So, do you want me to thank you for your favor?"

Hearing this, Bai Wanyan laughed completely.

When waiting for Bai Yicong to come to her, she had already drunk several glasses by herself, and the alcohol smoked her fair and delicate skin slightly reddened, looking soft and moving. She raised her eyebrows slightly, casually put the wine glass on the long table, and then looked at Bai Yicong.

"I thought my cousin wouldn't be able to see it. ”

When he said this, Bai Wanyan's crooked eyes were misty, and there was an inexplicable charm all over his body.
