Min Ziwen's voice trembled, with questions and collapses that she didn't even notice.

"Where there are so many whys. There are many things in this world that have no reason, and if Assistant Min has nothing else to do, let's go back to work. ”

Qiao Twilight was too indifferent, like a drop of water turning into ice in a cold day, which also made Min Ziwen suddenly realize that she had never had a place in Qiao Twilight's world, and she was just an assistant who could be replaced at any time to him.

"I see, sorry to bother you. ”

Min Ziwen slowly stood up, bowed respectfully and left.

Xu Ruoou came back with a stack of documents and saw the red-eyed Min Ziwen coming out of Qiao Dusk's office, and when he saw her, he just nodded coldly and left quickly.

Xu Ruoou didn't know why, tilted his head and muttered in his heart, and then looked at Qiao Dusk's closed office door, and was inexplicably a little cowardly.

She was also a deserted person just now, right? Will he be murdered by this going to deliver documents? Thinking of Qiao Dusk's fierce appearance on the bed, Xu Ruoou's legs were a little weak, and the unspeakable parts began to ache faintly.

But the documents have been brought back, and it is not a matter to put them on her desk, so you can't let Qiao Twilight come out and get them by herself, right?

Good spirits are not bad spirits, Xu Ruoou had just finished muttering when he heard Qiao Twilight speak.

"What are you doing here with your papers?"

"Huh?"

Xu Ruoou turned around suddenly, and the document he was holding trembled, but Qiao Dusk helped him so that he didn't scatter it. Seeing him frowning, Xu Ruoou lowered his eyes weakly and said nothing.

"Send it in. ”

Qiao Twilight's voice was very cold, but Xu Ruoou heard a little smile, she looked up, his frowning brows had been loosened, and his dark eyes were naked and seductive, looking at herself unscrupulously.

"Oh, right away. ”

Xu Ruoou subconsciously hugged the document and bypassed Qiao Twilight to the office, his eyes were full of Qiao Twilight's eyes just now when he looked at him, and he couldn't understand it but he could feel the friendship, so in fact, he liked her?

As soon as the document was put down, Xu Ruoou was hugged by Qiao Dusk from behind, and the cold fragrance instantly occupied all the air around him, making people fascinated and unconscious.

Xu Ruoou's body was half soft, nestled in his arms, tilted his head, and let him mess up, helpless and a little expectant in his heart, so he didn't force himself to hold on, her negative cooperation further fueled Qiao Dusk's arrogance.

He buried himself in Xu Ruoou's shoulder, chuckled in a low voice, and was addicted to restless hand messing, and at first he could endure the layer of clothing, but then he thought it was in the way, and he wanted to tear it.

He thought, but how could Xu Ruoou allow it, glared at him angrily, and was turned into a pool of spring water by him again.

"Don't ......" Xu Ruoou barely regained some sense, pressed Qiao Dusk's messy hand, and pleaded, "This is the office, someone will come in." ”

How could anyone come to Joe's office at dusk?

Joe Twilight chuckled, with a hint of lust.

"Then go inside. ”

Xu Ruoou had rested in the cubicle of the office, and when he heard Qiao Twilight mention it, he blushed suddenly, and he wanted to struggle away but was really powerless, so he could only be half-pushed and half-hugged by Qiao Twilight.

The familiar furnishings, the tightened curtains, the entire lounge was ambiguous, Xu Ruoou was put on the bed before he could come up with a reason to refuse, and even the buttons that were not strong in the small suit were broken, revealing the crumpled white shirt inside.

"Mr. Joe......"

When she was gagged, Xu Ruoou only had one thought left in her heart: she probably had to rest for a long time before she could come to work, has this person been drugged recently!

An hour later, Qiao Twilight got dressed again, looking like a decent gentleman, Xu Ruoou shrunk in the quilt, groggy and hurt everywhere, just wanted to bite Qiao Twilight to death and pull it down!

"You have a good rest, I'll bring you lunch, and we'll go home together in the evening, and I'll let Ah K do your work for you." ”

Qiao Twilight squatted in front of the bed, leaned over and kissed Xu Ruoou's face, there was still a taste of extravagance after indulgence in the air, Qiao Twilight's eyes deepened, but she didn't do anything.

Xu Ruoou was nervous at that moment, she always felt that Qiao Twilight seemed to be going to take off her clothes at any time and do it again, and even when she was kissed, she could feel Qiao Twilight's heavy breathing, but fortunately, Qiao Twilight controlled it, and Xu Ruoou was also relieved.

It's going to kill you if you do it again!

"Why don't you let Assistant Min do it for me? She should be easier to use than Ah K. ”

Xu Ruoou was a little puzzled, the assistant's work has always been done by Min Ziwen, and now she can't do it, she should let Min Ziwen come, how can she let Ah K, who has been arranging his life, do things at work?

"Min Ziwen has other jobs. ”

Qiao Twilight paused obviously, and a trace of unnaturalness flashed on her face, seeing Xu Ruoou more and more confused, but she also knew that what Qiao Twilight didn't want to say, even if she kept asking, she couldn't ask the result, so it was better to be obedient and listen.

Xu Ruoouche really lay at home for two days, didn't do anything, every day except for going to the toilet and washing and eating, the rest of the time was lying on the bed, sitting and lying down, watching dramas and brushing Weibo, and even eating was sent to the room by the maid, it can be said that in the past two days, Xu Ruoou has never stepped out of the room at all.

And very unreasonable, he drove Joe Twilight to the guest room, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he was forced to die.

Qiao Twilight wanted to struggle at first, but then she didn't know why, she didn't need Xu Ruoou to say, she came to talk to her and left by herself, and she took the initiative.

However, Qiao Anzhe's children got a lot of cheapness, and finally tasted what they wanted, shared the bed with Xu Ruoou, and came to Xu Ruoou every day with his own little pillow to tell Xu Ruoou bedtime stories.

It's that bedtime stories are different from other children of the same age, other children read fairy tales and nursery rhymes, and smarter read English books to read the four famous books, while Qiao Anzhe's children read the principles of economics and Einstein's theory of relativity.

So much so that every day Xu Ruoou talked drowsy, Qiao Anzhe listened to it with relish, and finally it evolved into Qiao Anzhe telling Xu Ruoou, and Xu Ruoou fell asleep soundly on his immature little shoulders.

On the third day, Xu Ruoou was ready to continue her life of eating rice worms waiting for death, but Qiao Twilight came to give her a blow to the head, and they were going to Hong Kong City.

"Why go to Port City?"

Xu Ruoou hugged the quilt and refused to move.

"Two days later, the Sotheby's auction will be held in Port City, and this auction will be charitable in nature, and I must attend. ”

Qiao Twilight had already changed into a suit, and would sit leisurely on the sofa next to the bed, smiling at Xu Ruoou.

The maid looked at her nose and nose, silently and quickly helped Xu Ruoou organize her suitcase, and by the way, she picked out the clothes she was going to wear when she went out today, which should be matched with Qiao Dusk's suit, which should be soft and comfortable, and stable and generous.

Silently reciting the request given by Qiao Twilight, the maid quickly glanced at Xu Ruoou's wardrobe, compared the clothes that were almost suitable, and selected the most suitable one.

"Then it's good for you to go by yourself, I'll accompany An Zhe at home, An Zhe is still a child, and he can't do without parents!"

Xu Ruoou tried to die and struggled, Sotheby's auction, she never received invitations when she was the eldest lady of the Xu family, but she never went once, every time she let Xu's father and mother attend, and she was happy alone.

Now that she is not the eldest lady of the Xu family, she never expected to go again!

"Everyone in the circle knows that I am married, but few people have seen you, this time it can be regarded as a formal introduction, you are not the previous Xu family's daughter to attend, you are Qiao Dushi's wife. ”

As soon as Qiao Twilight said this, Xu Ruoou understood, she had to go to this auction, and she couldn't go in a low-key manner, she had to be high-profile, the coolest kind of high-profile in the world.

"Isn't it too much time? ”

This kind of large-scale charity auction requires formal attire, men's suits, ties, leather shoes, women's evening dresses, stiletto heels, jewelry, makeup, and hair. Xu Ruoou has not attended this kind of occasion for a long time, let alone prepare any evening dresses, the last time she attended was to follow Qiao Dushi to the Wen family, although the occasion was formal, it was still a little worse than the auction.

"You don't have to worry about this, I've got people ready, you can get it there. ”

At this point, Xu Ruoou knew that he had no reason to shirk, so he resigned himself to getting up to wash and change clothes. probably guessed that Xu Ruoou would not go with him happily, Qiao Twilight even booked a plane ticket for the afternoon, and spared a whole morning to spend with her, and by the way, there was still time to have lunch at home.

On the day of the auction, Xu Ruoou wore a brand haute couture evening dress that Qiao Twilight didn't know when she started to prepare for her, stepped on blingbling diamond stiletto heels, and reluctantly followed Qiao Twilight to the red carpet.

"You didn't say you were going to walk the red carpet. ”

There were still two groups of people waiting in front of them, and Xu Ruoou and Qiao Dusk would not be able to return to their turns for a while, so they chatted easily in the car. Xu Ruoou looked at the long guns and short cannons on both sides of the red carpet, and was a little worried.

She knew what the auction was, it was simply a large-scale Ling Chi scene, but some people didn't reveal a word, so she didn't know until she arrived at the scene, and there was no place to express a bunch of grievances in her heart.

"I didn't say I wouldn't go. ”

Qiao Dusk replied like a gentleman, making Xu Ruoou half angry.

"Whose auction is going to walk the red carpet?

Xu Ruoou is not unreasonable, this is also the first auction that Qiao Dushi has to participate in on the red carpet in so many years, and it is indeed noisy and inky.

"K, inform the organizers that we are not walking the red carpet anymore. ”

With Joe's status as a twilight, this little privilege is still there. The organizer soon came to guide them to enter from other places, and Xu Ruoou and Qiao Twilight didn't have a chance to see with their own eyes how Xu Jiaru looked like a foreign person on the red carpet with a little white face.

Because it was a charity auction and not a cocktail party, Qiao Dushi and Xu Ruoou were directly guided into their VIP private room, which was condescending on the second floor, and everything in the auction hall could be clearly seen, but it would not be seen, which was also a kind of privacy protection for VIP customers.

"Why are there people downstairs and some people are VIPs?"

Xu Ruoou observed with interest for a while and asked in a low voice. She had just seen the speed of the red carpet outside, and compared the speed of people entering the auction hall, it was obviously different.

"Invitations are different. ”

Qiao Twilight snapped her fingers after speaking, and Ah K stepped forward and handed over an invitation. Xu Ruoou took it, saying that it was an invitation letter that was not accurate, it was a card the size of a bank card made of platinum, the whole card was very heavy in the hand but very thin, without extra decoration, one side was engraved with Qiao Dusk's bilingual name in Chinese and English, and on the other side was the words Sotheby's auction in English flower font.

There wasn't even a date on it, and I didn't know it and thought it was Joe Twilight's personal business card.

Xu Ruoou recalled the invitation she received, a hard card with black and gold colors, wrapped in a brown paper envelope, with the time and place of the auction written in it, but her name was not written, so every time she threw it into the living room and never came.

Now it seems that Joe Twilight's invitation is worth more than her hard card.

"Why do I think this is not an invitation, it's a membership card?"

Thinking about it in his heart, Xu Ruoou flipped the platinum card and pouted, the more he looked at it, the more it looked like a membership card.

"It was originally a platinum VIP card, given by the headquarters, not applied for and not traded, no number, each recipient will establish a customer file at the headquarters, and provide comprehensive and comprehensive services for the giveee at any time, and there are not a few issued in the world. ”

Xu Ruoou was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Qiao Twilight with bright eyes.

"Mr. Qiao, are you showing off your wealth?"

Thinking about it, I also know that this kind of thing is not something that can be obtained casually at first glance, but Qiao Dushi introduced it so bluntly, Xu Ruoou still found it difficult to understand.

It's just a platinum card, shouldn't it be so complicated?

"I don't need to show off my wealth, I'm popularizing science. ”

Qiao Twilight still has a sense of contrast when she tells jokes seriously, at least Xu Ruoou thinks the joke itself is not funny, but Qiao Twilight looks funny with a straight face.

"Okay, okay, got it!"

As soon as Xu Ruoou's voice fell, there was a commotion in the auction hall on the first floor, Xu Ruoou was attracted, returned the card to Ah K, and grabbed Qiao Dusk's hand with great interest to look at the hall on the first floor.

"Ma'am, please don't be vexatious, okay?"

Ah K intimately helped Xu Ruoou open the glass window, and the voice in the hall on the first floor came more clearly, so that they would not watch pantomime.

The security personnel of the auction house blocked the door, restrained and stopped the person, the person was just in the shadows, Xu Ruoou They could only see the hem of the evening dress, and knew that it was a woman, which would push and shove with the security personnel.

However, Xu Ruoou soon knew the identity of the other party, Xu Jiaru.

"Let go of me, do you know who I am?"

Xu Jiaru was about to be angry, she knew a long time ago that some auctions at Sotheby's had to be invited to come, but not everyone could receive invitations, people like Xu Zeyu who had no property and only relied on their families were not invited at all, and Xu Jiaru, who was Xu Zeyu's daughter, would not be invited.

But Xu Ruoou is different, Xu Ruoou is the heir of the Xu family in the future, even if it is to give Xu Zeyuan face, the auction house will send the invitation letter to the door, every time he sees Xu Ruoou throwing away the invitation letter with disdain, Xu Jiaru is so angry that he gritted his teeth and couldn't lower his head to ask Xu Ruoou for it.

Finally, the Xu family changed hands, Xu Ruoou never had a chance to get an invitation letter again, Xu Jiaru imagined many kinds of pictures of showing off her power in front of Xu Ruoou with an invitation, but she still failed to do so, even if she was already the new heir of the Xu family, Sotheby's still did not send her an invitation.

Xu Jiaru, who was angry, ignored Xu Zeyu's opposition and repeated orders, but still secretly ran to Hong Kong City, ready to break through.

"This lady, whoever you are, you can't come in as long as you don't have an invitation. ”

The security personnel were unmoved, they worked in an auction house, what kind of rich people have not seen, even the leaders of certain countries they have not received, how can they be afraid of a woman who can't even get an invitation?

"I am the heir of the Xu clan in Haicheng! My father is Xu Zeyu! How dare you stop me?"

"Huh, Haicheng Xu's family, which Xu Zeyu forced his brother into the ICU of the hospital and successfully seized power?"

I don't know where a sneer came out, and the disdainful tone obviously didn't take Xu Jiaru in his eyes at all.

"I said Miss Xu, you don't really know that your family has become the laughing stock of the whole circle, right? Or Xu Zeyu didn't tell you that the Xu family won't last long. ”

The man ridiculed Xu Jiarulai without being polite, but the meaning revealed in the words made Xu Ruoou frightened, she subconsciously looked at Qiao Dusk beside her, and the question in her eyes could not be more obvious.

"That's true, your father had a good reputation during his reign, and many partners chose Xu's because of his reputation and personality, and after Xu Zeyu took the position, these partners naturally chose to find another partner and gave up Xu's. ”

As if afraid that Xu Ruoou didn't know Xu's situation, Qiao Dushi added two more sentences.

"Xu's is no longer the best partner in the same industry, your father has been looking for new opportunities over the years, but the effect is not very good, in fact, Xu's letting Xu Zeyu take it is not necessarily a bad thing, even if Xu Zeyu does not seize power, your father may not be able to support you to inherit the family business. ”

Xu's internal situation and future prospects Xu Ruoou is indeed not very clear, she has always liked clothing design and has always focused on design, even during her tenure in the company, she didn't care about anything except design, until today from Qiao Dusk's mouth, she knew what kind of sky Xu's father had always supported her.

Even if she has been obsessed with designing and not letting her contact with the company's core management things, she will be able to maintain her own privileged life in the future, and she finally understands what her father once said to her, exchanging the entire Xu family for a future.

In the past, Xu Ruoou thought that her father wanted her future partner to inherit the company, and she only needed to do design.

Now she understands that her father clearly wants her to use Xu's as a springboard to become a high-profile star in the industry and get more opportunities and recognition.

Xu Ruoou and Qiao Dusk said a few words, Xu Jiaru was already stimulated by the voice that came out of nowhere, and clashed with the security personnel regardless of it, Xu Ruoou looked at it coldly, without joy or sorrow, and vaguely a little bored.

In the end, the security personnel still invited Xu Jiaru out, and there was no noise in the hall, but there were many more small muttering sounds, even if Xu Ruoou didn't listen carefully, he knew what they were talking about. She didn't feel sad, she only felt sad, although Xu's had never become a leading enterprise in the industry, it had also been brilliant, who dared to laugh at Xu's back at that time?

Xu Jiaru's appearance and departure were like a gust of wind, leaving nothing but a few jokes after tea and dinner.

The auction began quickly, and some of today's auctions were private auctions, while others were donated by the bigwigs on the spot, but either way, the proceeds of the auction will eventually be invested in a charitable foundation in the name of Sotheby's.

Xu Ruoou flipped through the booklet of the auction items, lacking interest. It can be said that since listening to Qiao Dushi's evaluation of Xu's family, Xu Ruoou has always been preoccupied and has lost his smiling face.

"Do you like this bracelet?"

Joe Twilight suddenly flipped the pamphlet to the middle page, pointed to an emerald bracelet and asked.

Each donated auction item will show the name of the donor, this jade bracelet is also donated, the name Xu Ruoou has heard of, is the wife of the current head of a famous family in Hong Kong City, used to be a female star in the streets and alleys of Hong Kong City are full of posters, and later won the favor of the current head of the family, married into a wealthy family and quit the entertainment industry, becoming the envy of countless people Kuotai.

If Xu Ruoou hadn't thought about it before, but this would have been a mess in her mind, and when she saw that name, she inexplicably thought of her current relationship with Qiao Dusk.

In the eyes of many people, she, like a female star, saved the galaxy and got the big guy's blue eyes, and the sparrow flew on the branch and became the existence of a phoenix.

Jo Twilight asked her if she liked the bracelet, was it also a reminder that she was nothing without him now, and that she couldn't even enter the door of this auction that she once disdained, like Xu Jiaru who was thrown out?

Seeing that Xu Ruoou hadn't spoken, Qiao Dusk turned back two more pages and pointed to a diamond to show her again.

"What about this? Girls must love diamonds, right?"

The diamond is not donated by anyone, but a private auction, weighing 37.6 carats of natural blue diamonds, just look at the picture can feel that the diamond color is very good, such as the blue sea, the beauty of the soul.

Xu Ruoou bit his lower lip and refused to say anything. She liked this diamond, if it wasn't for the bracelet just now, she might not think so much, and she could be a little excited to accept Qiao Dusk's gift, but now she suddenly didn't want it, she just wanted to sit here quietly and complete Mrs. Qiao's mission, not Xu Ruoou's.

"Don't like both?"

Joe Twilight sighed, closed the booklet, and said nothing.

Xu Ruoou really hates her current fake appearance, obviously she has been relying on Qiao Twilight all this time, and she also knows very well that if it weren't for Qiao Twilight, she wouldn't know how many times she died, and now this is just making the two of them unhappy.

"That blue diamond is beautiful, and that bracelet is beautiful. ”

Xu Ruoou sniffed and whispered.
