Chapter 1077 Charity Auction (Part II)

……

However, Mei Xue, who is in the same high school as Liu Dong and has been a classmate in high school for three years, knows him very well, so she naturally knows that what Liu Dong said is not a lie!

However, as a girl, Mei Xue couldn't help but wrinkle her little nose at her lover, and made a strange look that believed you.

And just as Liu Dong was about to open his mouth to continue explaining, a shout full of surprise suddenly sounded around him.

"Liu Dong, is that you?"

The familiar voice made Liu Dong immediately turn around and look in the direction where the voice came from. When a young man in a black dress who obviously belonged to Chinese in appearance appeared in his eyes, Liu Dong couldn't help but be surprised: "Edward Chen!"

And when he saw the black-haired woman in a white off-the-shoulder evening dress next to him, Liu Dong smiled and said hello again, "Melissa!"

"Liu Dong, I didn't expect to meet you again here!"

Chen and Melissa hurriedly walked over happily.

"Yes, I didn't expect to be able to meet you here!" Liu Dong smiled.

After rescuing them from the Nianqing Tanggula Mountain, Liu Dong handed over the Raptor fighter jets to the military, and returned to Quancheng from Raxa. Because I was in a hurry, I forgot to leave contact information for Chen and Melissa.

Later, although I remembered it, because it was a meeting in Pingshui, and everyone was on different sides, Liu Dong didn't expect the other party to repay the favor or anything, so he forgot about it. I thought that it had only been less than a month and a half, and I met each other again in London.

Only this time they were missing Helen and Claude.

"By the way, aren't you studying at the University of Munich in Germany, why are you here?" Liu Dong said curiously.

"The two of us are originally British, and now we have completed our studies at the University of Munich, so we are back in England and ready to start our careers here!" Melissa, who was holding his hand next to her, also nodded in agreement.

"Honey, let's go talk to the side, it's not convenient here!"

Mei Xue on the side reminded in a low voice.

And Liu Dong, who reacted, looked at the dancing crowd around him, and also understood that it was really not polite for the four of them to stand in the center of the venue and chat.

So, after telling Chen and Melissa, the four of them came out of the dance floor together. I sat down next to the seat for guests to chat and rest.

Then, Liu Dong also introduced Mei Xue to the two of them.

However, after Liu Dong said that Mei Xue was his girlfriend, Chen and Melissa clearly had a trace of regret in their eyes!

But they didn't say any reason, and Liu Dong didn't want to ask.

"By the way, Liu, how did you come to England this time?" said Edward Chan curiously.

"I'm here for this year's Royal Esko Derby in Berkshire!" Liu Dong said bluntly.

"Royal Jockey Club, are you here for the Royal Jockey Club?"

Looking at the surprised expression on Chen's face, Liu Dong smiled and said, "Yes, isn't it strange?

"No, no, you're mistaken! I mean exactly a few days. Melissa and I are also going to the Jockey Club!" Chen said quickly.

"You guys are going too?" Liu Dong said curiously.

"Well, Liu Dong, the Royal Jockey Club is the biggest festival in Britain every year, whether it is the upper class or the common people, they will want to bring their most beautiful top hats to the scene at the Royal Jockey Club, especially on 'Gold Cup Day', and we are the same!" Melissa, who was chatting with Mei Xue next to her, explained with a smile.

"It seems that I am lonely and unheard!" Liu Dong said with a smile.

Domestically, with the exception of the Mongols. There are very few horse racing events. So Liu Dong didn't pay much attention to this, even if it was to better integrate into Western socialization. and fell in love with equestrianism, but Liu Dong didn't know much about the major Jockey Clubs in Western society.

Just as Edward Chen was about to ask Liu Dong why he was here today, Dennis Eskenazi and a Chinese man about sixty years old, but who looked like he was forty or fifty years old, walked over to Liu Dong's chat with a smile.

"Mr. Liu. Miss May!"

Eskenazi's affectionate address to Liu Dong surprised the Chinese who came with him, as well as Edward Chen and Melissa sitting across from him, almost simultaneously.

Dennis Eskenazi's place in British high society is best known to British natives, especially Londoners. But from his attitude towards Liu Dong. A kindness and respect was evident in it!

In his twenties, Liu Dong was able to gain the respect of Eskenazi, a well-known collector and appraiser from all over Europe, and it was obvious that Liu Dong himself was not an ordinary person.

This couldn't help but make Chen and Melissa more curious about this mysterious Chinese, and their eyes were full of inquiry when they looked at Liu Dong.

"Mr. Eskenazi!"

After saying hello, Liu Dong and the four of them stood up together.

And Edward Chen and Melissa's title of 'father' to the old Chinese who came together also surprised Liu Dong!

After nodding to his son and daughter-in-law, who was already engaged, the old Chinese man smiled and said, "It seems that you all know this gentleman, so who will introduce me now?"

Originally, Eskenazi wanted to speak, after all, Liu Dong was his invited guest, but in the end, Edward Chen gave him a step ahead.

"Father, this is Liu Dong from China, I met Melissa last time I traveled to China! And this beautiful lady is Liu Dong's girlfriend Mei Xue!"

After finishing speaking, Chen secretly glanced at Liu Dong, and when he saw Liu Dong with this look, he immediately understood when he and Melissa looked at the slightly nervous expressions on their faces.

Most of these two people didn't tell their families that they went to climb the big snow mountain of Qingtanggula Mountain, and they almost didn't come down because of the avalanche.

Seeing this, Liu Dong is not easy to debunk other people's white lies.

After taking the initiative to stretch out his right hand to the other party, Liu Dong said politely: "Uncle Chen, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

After holding Liu Dong's hand, Chen Changxing also smiled and said: "Liu Dong, is it? It's rare to see young talents from the motherland in London!"

As an old Chinese who has been abroad for nearly half a century, although he has long been accustomed to the Western way of life, many of his behaviors and habits still maintain traditional Chinese characteristics!

Say hello!

And as soon as Chen Changxing's words fell, he let go of his hand as if he had noticed something, looked at Liu Dong's face, frowned slightly, and hesitated after a little thought: "Is there anyone in Mr. Liu's family who is in Europe?"

Because of this inexplicable question, Liu Dong, who was strange in his heart, hurriedly said: "I'm very sorry, my parents are very ordinary Chinese, they have never left China in their lives, and there are not many relatives of my parents' peers!"

Although he said this, in fact, Liu Dong has never seen a relative of the same generation as his parents since he was a child.

This is also his regret since he was a child!

"Oh, that's weird!" After whispering, looking at the curious eyes around him, Chen Changxing smiled and shook his head, "Hehe, maybe I was wrong!

This is not a lie, he always feels a little familiar in Liu Dong's body.

Liu Dong also has this feeling, but he attributes this feeling more to the relationship between the two who are also Chinese. In a foreign country, meeting people from the same place always makes people feel kind!

"Uncle Chen is polite, since I am friends with Chen, you can call me Liu Dong, or Xiaodong!" Liu Dong said.

"Well, I'll be disrespectful!"

Facing Liu Dong, whose background is obviously not simple, Chen Changxing also intends to get close, so he agreed very happily.

Hearing his father's words, Edward Chen, who was next to him, was really relieved. Otherwise, he always felt that he was a generation lower than Liu Dong, and this feeling was not very comfortable!

"Since you all know each other, then I don't have to introduce each other!" Eskenazi, who paused, turned his head to Liu Dong and said, "Liu, get ready, the charity auction is about to start!"

"I've been ready for a long time!" As he spoke, Liu Dong picked up the bidding board that had already been placed on the table next to him!

"Hehe, that's fine! You young people talk, we two old guys won't mix!"

After Eskenazi finished speaking, Chen Changxing next to him also nodded with a smile, and finally explained a few words to his son and daughter-in-law, and then turned around and left with Eskenazi!

Seeing this, Chen and Melissa sighed at the same time, if Chen Changxing and Eskenazi really joined their conversation just now, they might really be suffocated by these two elders. Far less than they are young together, with fewer scruples and more freedom!

After the two left, the four sat down in their seats again.

At this moment, the seats prepared around the hall are already full of guests, and only in the center of the living room, a high platform about 40 centimeters high has been erected, and on the high platform there is an auction table and auction hammer that are common in auctions!

The multimedia projector temporarily erected next to it is also enough for the audience to see the details of the lot.

Because it is a charity auction, coupled with Eskenazi's position in the European collecting world. Although there was not a preview at the other auctions, there was no expectation that there would be a fake.

After Eskenazi left, the four of them waited for more than ten minutes, and the charity auction, the most critical part of the charity dinner, finally began!

When everything was ready, Dennis Eskenazi, dressed in a straight suit and bow tie, strode up to the auction table with a picture of an old English gentleman!
