Chapter 40: The Game

The invisible confrontation is going on between pushing and changing glasses. The already indifferent relationship is in jeopardy, and the surface peace is just an illusion to cover up, as for the deep meaning, Bai Wanyan and Bai Yi know it from their hearts, but no one has pierced the last layer of window paper.

"So, why is my cousin angry?"

Bai Wanyan said this sentence with a smile.

However, in a few words, she explained clearly how she knew He Manzhou's personal preferences, and her words were appropriate and appropriate, and the responsibility was all attributed to Liu Mu's unintentional words, everything was just her proper concern.

"Don't spend useless work on me, it's meaningless, and He Manzhou is not my person,"

"Oh, cousin, your attitude is really angry, if the little girl hears it, it will be very sad. Bai Wanyan shook the goblet in his hand, and continued to ask as if he was very inadvertent, "Or is it that your mind happened to be guessed by me, so you feel annoyed and angry, and you don't want to admit it...... Cousin?"

Although these words were interrogative sentences, Bai Wanyan said them unexpectedly firmly.

It's not so much that she's guessing that Bai Yicong is willing to attend this auction in person today, not for so-called "commercial purposes", nor just to come to Wucheng on a business trip. It is better to say that when Bai Yi never hesitated to spend a lot of money to take pictures of that extremely precious pocket watch to make the girl happy, Bai Wanyan had his own judgment and saw that he had other plans.

This is also the result of Bai Mu wanting her to wait and see.

After all, the ownership of this pocket watch represents something conventional.

Others will only think that this is an object provided by the Bai Family Jade Company, and it is a very high-priced and high-grade lot. But as a member of the Bai family, he will be extremely sensitive to this act, and he knows what it represents.

The more generations of antique families are inherited, the more unwritten rules there are.

For example, although Bai Yan, the head of the previous generation of the family, has done a prosperous business, making the name of the Bai family even louder, even in the ever-changing business battlefield, the Bai family can always be invincible. However, Bai Mu and the others who had opinions about him could still easily grasp his handle.

- Because part of the fame he has accumulated is obtained by selling the objects handed down from the ancestors of the Bai family.

In doing so, the reputation was earned, but the Bai family's prices could not be recovered.

Now those antiquities in the Bai family's mansion, each of them has been handed down by the ancestors for several generations, for the sake of fairness, there are also some objects that have been divided into three branch lines of the side family, but the most important and precious part is kept by the successive family owners, and the secrets behind the antiquities are only known to the family owners.

Among them, there is the secret of the treasure of the Relic King.

This is also a special case of the head of the Bai family, the treasure of the bereaved king is mysterious, and no one has accurate evidence, and it has been passed on to Bai Yi's generation, many clues are fragmentary, and it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the false, so there is no need to analyze those clues.

But no matter how mysterious it is, there are clues after all.

It is said that the key to unlocking the treasure of the bereaved king is hidden in the treasures that have been passed down from generation to generation by the Bai family.

Of course, these objects, among which there are high and low, the part that Bai Yan sold earlier is far from being the most precious heirloom, and the Falang color copper gold-plated carved pocket watch that Bai Mu took today can only be regarded as a first-class object, not a rare treasure.

But after all, this is the Bai family's thing.

In a word, the meaning is different.

The things handed down by the ancestors, even if it is just an ordinary crystal cave, are different from the high-grade jadeite that has been auctioned to hundreds of thousands on the market.

Bai Mu took out this Falang colored copper gold-plated carved pocket watch, which was intended to see Bai Yicong's attitude.

After all, there is a fundamental difference between the objects of the Bai family's jade shop falling into the hands of Bai Yicong and those falling into the hands of He Manzhou of the Tianwentang Museum. Such a subtle gap is not understood by others, but the Bai family is tacit, Bai Mu bet that Bai Yicong will make a move for the Tianwentang Museum, so he sold a favor in such a plan.

On the surface, it is a "favor", but in fact, it leaves Bai Yicong with a big pit that cannot be crossed.

Both left and right are down the handles.

Bai Wanyan said it to this extent, and Bai Yicong certainly understood the deep meaning. More words don't need to be broken, to the extent that they know too well how to create an illusion of peace on the surface to hide those undercurrents, and the temptation to see the edge is carried out invisibly.

Whether it's a move or a move.

In fact, earlier, when Bai Yi saw the Falang colored copper gold-plated carved pocket watch on the auction list, he already understood the meaning of Bai Wanyan's trip.

"The things of the Bai family should not be taken out easily, why is the second uncle so reckless this time. Bai Yicong was silent for a few seconds, and then opened his mouth lightly, "If I hadn't made a move today, He Manzhou wouldn't have been able to photograph this thing, who should bear this responsibility?"

Bai Wanyan was waiting for this sentence.

The result was so good that her bright smile was tingling with a hint of joy.

For Bai Wanyan, a woman who is like a fish in water on the business battlefield, she is always used to playing with people's hearts, and she does not hesitate to use the authority of the Bai family and her own advantages to exchange more contacts and interests in the social arena. Her beauty is like a bewitching flower, the more beautiful she is, the more venom she has, and it will paralyze other people's nerves.

is like the gentle words at this moment, which are decent, but all of them are counterwords.

"This pocket watch was asked by my father to bring me, and after he heard about He Manzhou, he specially said that he couldn't lose face as an uncle, and he had to take a big deal out, which was a piece of his heart. My cousin is the head of the Bai family, and I must be able to see that this is a rare good thing in the jade Jinzhong line of our Bai family, as for the recklessness...... Since my cousin is here, how can this object fall into the hands of someone else, don't you say?"

Bai Yi lightly hooked the corners of his lips, pulled up a little mockery, and didn't respond to anything.

And Bai Wanyan was still talking to herself.

"But then again, my cousin is really willing to He Manzhou, if you want to say that you don't have a personal relationship, who believes it?"

Today's matter, five million things are small, but the things of the Bai family have returned to the Bai family, and there is not much change in the accounts, and the left and right are all fertile and water-free from outsiders. But this real money was spent, but the name was given to the Tianwentang Museum, which is enough to see Bai Yicong's preference.

This is equivalent to making it public to the public, and the Bai family's family has a very good personal relationship with the Tianwentang Museum, and even their own belongings have been given away.

And Bai Wanyan's questioning at this moment is also completely in Bai Yicong's expectations.

"So what?" Bai Yi swept Bai Wanyan lightly from his cold eyes, "Just because of this pocket watch, do you want to prove something, then you can only tell the second uncle that his wishful thinking was wrong." ”

"What do you mean, cousin?" Bai Wanyan's smile was almost bright, with a bit of pretentious innocence.

"I have some friendship with her father, so I'm willing to take care of her," Bai Yicong's tone was light, without a trace of superfluous feelings, and the final addition also seemed determined, "That's all." ”

When Bai Yicong said this, all the playfulness in Bai Wanyan's eyes fell on He Manzhou.

The girl was sitting on the sofa chair, shaking the wine glass in her hand a little boredly.

Probably because the amount of wine was not good enough, He Manzhou did not take the red wine in the goblet, but took a small glass of ladies champagne with almost no degree. Even so, the cup was full of liquid, and it was obvious that she had no intention of drinking, but just played with it without a pair, and put it under her nose from time to time to sniff the taste.

It's like those regulars in the social bureau, in order to maintain some kind of pretentious familiarity. But He Manzhou's movements were filled with coquettish innocence, the crystal cup refracted the light, and the faint yellow wine became a dazzling one, reflecting her expression like an elf who had strayed into the world, and should not be contaminated with the world around her.

After being so far away, Bai Wanyan couldn't really see He Manzhou's appearance, she could only see that her silhouette was delicate and beautiful, and her temperament was also inexplicably casual. Just like the white casual dress she is wearing at the moment, it is pure and touching with some love, and it is difficult not to pay attention to it on such a formal occasion.

She's special. Bai Wanyan gave such an evaluation in her heart.

After a while, Bai Wanyan withdrew her gaze, she turned her head slightly, smiled at Bai Yicong beside her, and then continued.

"My cousin has a good eye, she's beautiful. ”

Bai Wanyan said this very softly, and the conversation only progressed between the two of them, with a sense of temptation.

"When Amu told me, I was wondering what kind of girl made my cousin take a look, and sure enough...... She's a beautiful girl. ”

For these increasingly boring words, according to Bai Yicong's usual way of dealing with them, it is nothing more than using the cold air that kills the four fields in seconds to make the people who can't open their eyes retreat, but at this moment, he is rarely disgusted, and he rarely says a little more.

"I don't need you to snoop on my business. ”

"How can it be said to be snooping," Bai Wanyan casually combed the hair hanging down her cheeks, "In our antique circle, who is not right, even if I am your own cousin, I often think that you are difficult to approach, it is rare to have your gossip, a little curious." ”

Bai Yicong evoked a smile, the sophistication honed in the business field was wrapped in the usual coldness, and the condescending aura was almost out of instinctive habits.

"Say whatever you want. ”

After saying this, Bai Yi never bothered to say more, and it was useless to say more.

Under the gaze of those almost sharp eyes, Bai Wanyan lowered his head slightly, hiding a lot of speculation in his eyes.

She knows how to grasp the scale too well.

For example, now, Bai Wanyan thinks that he has caught Bai Yicong's handle, so there is no need to provoke others.

Obviously, the weakness of feelings is a fatal knife for anyone.

"Cousin, I wish you in advance, this business trip went well. ”

In the end, it was Bai Wanyan's understatement to conclude.

Bai Yi never said anything about this, just drank the remaining wine in the wine glass, silently indicating the end of the conversation.

When he turned around, he quickly restrained the only smile he had, and casually put the wine glass aside, and he pulled the corners of his lips mockingly, as if his eyes were cold.

There are a few seconds of explicit oppression.
