Chapter 67: Charity Dinner

There's always a favorite. ”

Qiao Twilight flipped through the pamphlet and looked at it with a distracted look.

"All generally liked. ”

Xu Ruoou pondered the price she had just seen, one started at one million, the other started at five million, she actually liked the diamond more, and the bracelet was good-looking, but the donor was a problem, with the experience of the cranky car just now, she didn't like it very much.

But since Qiao Twilight asked, she must have moved some thoughts, Xu Ruoou asked herself if she didn't have such a big face to let Qiao Twilight spend so much money on herself, starting at five million, and she didn't know how many times she had to multiply it when she got it, she used to spend a lot of money for love, but now she has to think twice about the little money in her pocket, saying that it is not good to go out and take a taxi.

"Anything else?"

Joe's hand paused to turn through the booklet, turned to the page of the blue and white porcelain vase that was being auctioned, and handed it to her.

"Don't bother, I don't particularly like what I have to buy. ”

Xu Ruoou sniffed again and put the booklet aside.

"I'm going to the bathroom. ”

Joe Twilight didn't stop her, and Ah K didn't follow, and it was a female staff member of the auction house who took her to the bathroom.

When she came back, the blue and white porcelain vase had just been sold, and Qiao Dusk was sitting there with a faint expression, not even taking a sip of the tea at hand.

The auction continued in an orderly manner, to Xu Ruoou's surprise, the diamond was not auctioned, the auctioneer said that someone had traded at a fixed price, although some people complained but no one shouted, Xu Ruoou was also stunned when she heard it, she remembered that the booklet wrote that the price was 120 million, and the market valuation gave the price of 90 million.

In other words, the person who bought it at a fixed price paid 30 million more than the market price to buy the diamond, and if he didn't really like it, he had a hole in his head.

The end of the charity auction is the charity dinner, Xu Ruoou has enough time to adjust his emotions, this will not be the self-pity just now, he will not be able to take Qiao Dusk's arm with a smile, his demeanor is generous, his demeanor is dignified, and he has the style of his daughter.

Qiao Twilight glanced at her and didn't speak, but her tone was much softer when she greeted someone, Xu Ruoou guessed that her performance could still enter his eyes?

"Hahaha, Mr. Qiao, welcome, I really didn't expect you to come in person, it's really puffy and shining!"

Not long after entering the venue, a middle-aged man with a general's belly greeted him with a big smile, saying kind words repeatedly, and his whole body was filled with the smell of old fritters that had been mixed with the mall for a long time.

Xu Ruoou looked at the other party, but the other party just glanced at her seemingly casually, and then put all his enthusiasm on Qiao Dusk.

Qiao Twilight patted Xu Ruoou's hand soothingly, and then held the middle-aged man's hand, rarely smiling at outsiders.

"Mr. Li, long time no see. I can't help but give face to your invitation, not to mention that it's a charity auction, you have brought me this kind of good thing, if I don't come, wouldn't it be too ignorant. ”

In front of this Mr. Li, Qiao Dusk is rare and humble, although he does not regard himself as a junior, but he can also see one or two in his attitude, Xu Ruoou has a new evaluation of this seemingly kind middle-aged man in his heart.

"Who is this?"

After a few polite words, Mr. Li naturally led the topic to Xu Ruoou, who had not spoken, and asked tentatively.

"My wife, Xu Ruoou. Xiao Ou, this is Mr. Li, and my father are old acquaintances. ”

Qiao Twilight took the opportunity to introduce, and also vaguely expressed the reason why she was so polite, since it was Qiao Twilight's father's old acquaintance, theoretically speaking, it was Qiao Twilight's elders, probably not close enough, so Qiao Twilight was more respectful, not close enough, and only called Mr. Li.

Xu Ruoou thought about it and greeted him politely.

Mr. Li laughed, half-jokingly and half-seriously: "I've always wanted to match my uncompetitive daughter with you, but who knew that you got married quietly!"

Ling Chu Chu is moving, and she is a doctor of economics from an Ivy League university, presumably the people who chase her can go around Hong Kong City several times, and they will definitely meet better people. ”

Joe's expression remained unchanged and replied politely.

Xu Ruoou was a little bored when she heard this, of course she could see that Qiao Dushi didn't have any thoughts about this Mr. Li's daughter, but Qiao Dusk was such an outstanding person, and it was still difficult to change to someone who didn't lose him, I don't know if that Li Qianjin had the same idea as this Mr. Li.

Just as she was thinking about it, she saw a tall and beautiful woman with outstanding temperament walking towards them with a wine glass, and everyone who greeted them on the way calmly responded with a smile undiminished.

Inexplicably, Xu Ruoou knew that this dazzling beauty was the daughter of this President Li.

"Daddy, what are you talking about with Mr. Joe?"

The beauty approached and affectionately grabbed Mr. Li's arm, confirming Xu Ruoou's guess.

"What can I say? I'm not worried about your life's events! I originally thought that the two of you would get together, but it turned out that Mr. Qiao is married, and you are still single, you are going to kill me in a hurry!"

said disgusting words, but the words were full of doting, just like when her parents objected to Xu Ruoou and Xichuan being together, while saying that the person was unreliable, she also helped her plan how to live better with that person in the future.

"Oh daddy, you're so annoying, Mr. Qiao has been married for a while, you say this, how embarrassing Mr. Qiao is!"

Miss Li wrinkled her delicate nose, half coquettish and half complaining, and when she looked at Qiao Twilight again, she became generous again when she walked all the way.

"Mr. Qiao, I'm sorry, my dad is a little old, and sometimes he doesn't think about talking and doing things, you and Mrs. Qiao don't hate him!"

From the depths of Miss Li's eyes, Xu Ruoou could see that she had thoughts about Qiao Twilight, but unlike those people she had met before, she had her own pride, and her pride did not allow her to meddle in other people's marriages, so in the face of the married Qiao Twilight, she hid her thoughts very well, and only Xu Ruoou, the main room with a strong sense of crisis, could feel a little bit.

"I understand that Mr. Li is just joking with me, and I didn't expect Miss Li to go back to Hong Kong City to participate in this auction. ”

Qiao Twilight didn't know if he didn't feel it or pretended not to know, in short, his attitude towards Miss Li was very natural, a few steps away and not close, the distance was not far or close, and Xu Ruoou was in a dilemma, not knowing whether he should be angry and jealous or feel at ease.

"There's no way, you know, my dad always likes to do these things, it used to be fine, but now he's old and doesn't have enough energy, I won't come back to help him, he doesn't know what to be tired of!"

After speaking, Miss Li didn't forget to glare at Mr. Li, obviously very dissatisfied with his behavior of not resting when he was old.

"I'm not going to hand over all my business to you in the end, I'm fighting a little now, you will have a little more peace of mind in the future, you still blame me!"

Mr. Li was not to be outdone, the father and daughter scolded each other on the spot, and neither of them would bow their heads first.

Xu Ruoou was embarrassed, how did this feel different from the meeting of her rival in love? Shouldn't their topic revolve around Qiao Twilight?

"Oh, I'm sorry, Daddy and I are used to this, let you see the joke. ”

After a while, Miss Li reacted to the current occasion first, her face flushed slightly, and she said apologetically.

"You're Mrs. Qiao, right?" Miss Li looked at Xu Ruoou, her eyes lit up slightly, "Let's go together, let them talk about men, let's go over there to eat!"

I have to say that Miss Li is a person who is very good at taking care of other people's emotions, even if Xu Ruoou had a little prejudice against her before, there will only be joy left.

Miss Li is worthy of being a person with high education, high IQ and high emotional intelligence, no matter what topic she says, she can talk eloquently, and she learned that Xu Ruoou likes fashion design and has engaged in related work, so she has been talking to her about fashion design and other things, and occasionally tells a few small gossips she heard when she was studying in the United States, and the two can be said to have a good conversation.

It also made many people who knew that Miss Li was at the dinner party and wanted to cling to the relationship, so they could only grit their teeth with hatred and hatred, and did not dare to come forward to talk.

"Ruo, do you know that person?"

Miss Li pointed to the man who had just come in at the door and asked in a low voice.

The man is tall, with a look that is not inferior to Qiao Twilight, and he is also cold, and the whole person reveals an atmosphere of a melancholy nobleman.

This person, Xu Ruoou felt familiar but didn't know him, so he shook his head, also puzzled.

The daughter of a certain family, who had been wandering around looking for an opportunity to interject, instantly lit up and interjected.

"This is Xi Yusi, the current chairman of Haicheng Xishi. ”

"Siyus?"

Xu Ruoou and Miss Li spoke at the same time, looking at the young lady who was brave enough to solve the mystery for the two of them.

"That's right, Mrs. Qiao, you should know him from Haicheng, but he was so crushed by Mr. Qiao, and the circle called him the second in the profession. ”

The daughter is flattering, but it doesn't make people feel bored, but she thinks she is interesting, Miss Li has asked Xu Ruoou's opinion with her eyes, and pulled the daughter into their private chat, officially forming a three-person discussion group dialogue.

"I haven't seen him before, I've only heard his name, but just now I thought he was a person, and now with your explanation, I know who he is. ”

Xu Ruoou never thought of hiding things that she and Xi Youxi knew, if this kind of thing was concealed, it would only allow ignorant people to make up stories and speculate wildly, it was better to say it openly and block the mouths of most people.

"Like a person?" Qianjin tilted her head, first confused, and soon realized, "Have you seen his younger brother Xi and Xi, they all say that their brothers look alike!"

It's like a similar, but Xu Ruoou feels that the temperament of these two people is completely different, one is melancholy and introverted, and the other is wanton, as long as he is familiar with one of them, he will not admit his mistake.

The arrival of Xi Yusi made the atmosphere of the whole dinner change abruptly, everyone knows that Mr. Li has always been good friends with Qiao's, and he doesn't take much care of Qiao's rival Xi's, so everyone tacitly acknowledges that Xi's will not attend on such an occasion.

And Xi Yusi himself seemed to not know what these people were thinking, calmly walked towards Qiao Dushi and Mr. Li, and when passing by Xu Ruoou and Miss Li, he suddenly stopped, locked his eyes on Xu Ruoou, looked at him critically, and sneered, causing everyone to be confused.

"Mr. Li, I haven't seen you for a long time, I'm so sorry for you, so I came uninvited, please don't be surprised. ”

After saying that, Xi Yusi looked at Joe Twilight again, with schadenfreude and sympathy in his eyes.

"Mr. Qiao, we can be regarded as sympathetic to each other, there are some things I think I should remind you, there are so many women in this world, if one is not suitable, change another one, why should you embarrass yourself?"

When he said this, he didn't forget to glance at Xu Ruoou, which can be said to be full of malice.

Qiao Twilight was unmoved, just nodded solemnly, as if smiling.

"Coincidentally, I also plan to find a time to remind Mr. Xi to take care of my younger brother and not to revolve around other people's wives when there is nothing to do. ”

Just a word, I didn't hear it far away, and if I was close, Mr. Li was an outsider, and I listened to it a little thoughtfully, and the eyes that looked at Xi Yusi were not as good as just now.

Xi Yusi's face also changed, but he maintained basic social etiquette and did not throw his face to show others.

"I remember Mr. Qiao's words, and I must tell my brother. ”

He said this with a bit of gritted teeth, and even a faint anger rose in his eyes, and he was even a little regretful.

At the end of the dinner, Xu Ruoou and Miss Li exchanged contact information and made an appointment to have time to go shopping together.

On the way back, Qiao Dusk leaned on the car seat, her face was not very good, and Xu Ruoou sat on the side in a proper manner, like an angry little daughter-in-law.

"You still have a connection with Xi Yoxi?"

Qiao Dusk's question came suddenly, Xu Ruoou let out an "ah", and only then did he realize what he asked, and his face was not good-looking.

"It's been a long time since I've seen it, what's wrong?"

Seemingly satisfied with this answer, Joe Twilight shook her head and didn't speak again.

Until they returned to the hotel where they stayed, the two of them did not say a word again, as if they were competing, and neither of them would speak first.

The charity auction is over, and their trip to Hong Kong City ends here, Ah K booked a ticket for noon the next day, originally thinking that Qiao Dushi and Xu Ruoou would not be able to dry firewood in the hotel, and no matter how bad they were, they would go out for a walk, and it would be inevitable to get up late the next day.

Who knew that the last day of the two would be so unpleasant that it was only eight o'clock in the morning the next day, and they had packed everything neatly and waited for departure.

Ah K had no choice but to change the ticket temporarily, advance the ticket time, and let the two of them go back to Haicheng. He can see that there must be something wrong between these two people, instead of letting the two of them spend time in Hong Kong City, it is better to hurry back to Haicheng, maybe the little young master has a way to reconcile the two of them?

It turns out that Ah K still overestimated Joanzhe.

Facing the very stubborn Qiao Twilight and Xu Ruoou, Qiao Anzhe could only be helpless, coaxing here and there, no matter how he coaxed, then he simply didn't coax any of them, and ran back to the room to sulk.

In this way, the contradiction between two people successfully escalated into a contradiction between three people, and no one reconciled it, so it could only heal itself.

On the other hand, Min Ziwen, who has been investigating the leakage of company secrets, has finally made progress, but the progress is not very pleasant.

She went home early, rarely cooked a table of dishes, and then kept walking around the house, checking the time from time to time.

From sunset to nightfall, the dishes on the table were cold and hot, hot and cold, Min Ziwen finally waited for Min Nanai.

This time, Min Nanai didn't come back with flowers, and she didn't even see any signs of love, but Min Ziwen knew very well that Min Nanai was still in love, and Xi Yusi.

"Sister, didn't you go to the company today?"

Seeing Min Ziwen at home, Min Nanai was surprised for a moment, and a touch of happiness crossed her eyes.

Min Ziwen, who had been observing her since she entered the door, had a slightly dark look in her eyes, and the guesses in her heart corresponded to the clues she had found one by one, making her heart sink slowly, like falling into an ice cellar.

"There's nothing going on in the company today, I came back early, why did you come back so late?"

Min Ziwen lowered her head to hide the complex emotions in her eyes, her nose was sour, but she endured it, pretending to be fine, and cleaned up the cold dishes on the table.

"I haven't eaten yet, have I'm rarely cooking, so I'll wash my hands and taste it, and I'll go warm it up." ”

Min Nan's love was weak, and he didn't dare to refute Min Ziwen's words at all, so he obediently put down his backpack and washed his hands, and sat at the dining table with an expectant expression.

"I like my sister's cooking the most, but it's a pity that my sister is so busy with work that she doesn't cook much!"

What she said was half-true and half-false, and Min Ziwen's heart was sore when she listened. Thinking of what she did, I couldn't help but blame myself, was it because she was too busy with work and neglected her sister, so she would do such things again and again?

"You like it so much, then my sister will change to an easier job, and I will cook it for you every day in the future, okay?"

This is also a question that Min Ziwen has been thinking about all afternoon, whether Min Nan loves to admit it or not, she needs to give Qiao Twilight an explanation, isn't it okay, if it is true, then how will she gain a foothold in Qiao's in the future?

Min Ziwen didn't even dare to think about how Qiao Twilight would treat her if she knew the truth, and how she would treat Min Nanai.

She didn't care, she was insignificant anyway, but she couldn't bear to let her only sister, her only relative in this world, suffer from Joe's stormy revenge.

Min Ziwen has no doubt that once she resigns from Qiao's family, Min Nanai will lose her use value to Xi's, and Xi Yusi will not hesitate to throw away Min Nanai, just like throwing away an unimportant piece of garbage.

At that time, could the young Min Nam-ae really stand it? Will she collapse?

"Sister, why do you say that, are you wronged in the company?"

Min Nanai's reaction was both in Min Ziwen's reaction and outside of her guess, she couldn't help but feel a little sad, and she didn't even want to think about why Min Nanai was so nervous.

"I'm not unhappy, I just feel that it's easy to think rigid after being in a place for a long time, it's better to change the environment and do something you like, anyway, I've been in Qiao's for so many years, and Mr. Qiao's kindness to us back then is almost the same, even if you leave, it's nothing. ”

From beginning to end, Min Ziwen didn't look at Min Nanai, there were too many things she was afraid of, but Min Nanai was a person who couldn't hide her emotions, everything was on her face, she only needed to look at it to understand.

"Sister, I think Qiao's is very good, your position is so high, it's a pity to leave. ”

Min Nanai whispered, not even realizing how unwillingly and eagerly she said this.

Min Ziwen sighed in her heart, she really guessed right, the leakage of company secrets was betrayed by her own sister.

"Xiao Ai, do you remember what I said to you last time?"

Min Ziwen asked casually, but Min Nan Ai was shocked, the hand pocket of the vegetables was around, the vegetables and soup were scattered on the table, Min Ziwen didn't care, just lowered her head and ate her room.

"Of course I remember, I'm no longer in touch with Siyus!"

The more powerful the person is to lie, the more bold he is, because only in this way can he be more confident, as if what he said is true.

"Do you really remember or fake remember, I think you know in your own heart, Xiao Ai, my sister is very disappointed in you. ”

Min Ziwen said this calmly, and it was the only time she raised her head to look directly at Min Nanai all night.

Min Nanai was completely panicked, she wanted to explain but didn't know how to explain, she wanted to coax Min Ziwen, but Min Ziwen put down the dishes and chopsticks, leaned back on the chair tiredly, put her hands around her chest, and looked at her indifferently.

It was a look that Min Nanai had never seen before, there was no trace of warmth in the indifference, and she looked at her like she was looking at a guilty criminal.

"Sister......

Min Nam-ae wanted to arrest her, but she avoided her.

Min Ziwen sighed again, rubbed her temples and barely cheered up.

"Did you know that it was illegal to sell company secrets? Do you know what Joe Twilight would do to you if she found out what you had done? Do you think you've lost your value, and will Siyu still want you?"

Every word, Min Ziwen is piercing Min Nanai's heart, stabbing with blood, and the knife is critical.

"So what? At least I have! I have received his love, even if it is a false love, it is love! Unlike you, who thinks about him everywhere and works hard for him, he treats you like a dog, and you come and go as soon as you are called, do you think you are much better than me? Don't be funny, you are far worse than me!"

If Min Nanai in front of her can still bear it, but when Xi Yusi is mentioned, she can't bear it and is unwilling to endure it.

"Yes, I like Joe Twilight, so what? at least he won't instigate me to cheat other companies out of secrets!"

Min Nan loved to roar, Min Ziwen's temper also followed, the two of them scolded each other so unpleasantly, and finally escalated to throwing things at each other, a good table of dishes did not eat a few bites, all of them were thrown all over the wall by the two, and it took Min Ziwen half an afternoon of work in vain.

The dispute ended with Min Nanai slamming the door with her bag, Min Ziwen guessed her whereabouts and didn't bother to care about her, squatting on the ground and crying in a mess.

The next day, most of Qiao's knew that Assistant Min came to the company with swollen eyes, and he didn't even put on makeup.

This is also big news in Qiao's family, Min Ziwen has been working in the company for so many years, and it is the first time she has come to the company without makeup, which has caused many gossip friends to discuss quickly in private, saying everything.

Min Ziwen didn't care, and she didn't see anything and didn't hear anything.

"Assistant Min, are you alright?"

Qu Yao poured her a cup of coffee and asked with concern.
