The road was lined with tall plane trees with wide branches that covered the sky, and the light in the car was dimmed. I went beyond the plane trees to the flat grass, and the landscape lights were hidden under the small flowering trees on the lawn, and the place was beautifully decorated. I have been in the imperial capital for four years, and I never knew that there was such a quiet and secluded road in the city.
"This is Baoli's auction house, and the Spring Festival auction is held here every year." He Liancheng saw the confusion in my eyes and explained.
"Do you come often?" I asked.
"I've been here a few times, but I'm not interested in too many things, so I'm just here to pretend." He Liancheng said, the car had arrived at the gate.
The waiter, dressed in a black uniform and wearing white gloves, had already opened the car door for us.
After we got out of the car, He Liancheng handed the key to the man, and the man parked the car on his behalf.
Damn, it turns out that this is the life of this group of small capitalists in the imperial capital! Wicked rich people. I couldn't help but curse in my heart. In my bones, I am still the only daughter of that well-off family, the daughter of a small boss who has just been lifted out of poverty. I can't enjoy such a lofty environment, and I feel out of place with my surroundings. If going to an engagement party gave me a glimpse of the rich man's life, this time it showed me what low-key luxury is. Fiddlers and fiddlers played soothing surprises in the hall, and people stood in groups of three or five to talk.
"What's wrong?" He Liancheng grabbed my arm and asked softly in my ear.
"Suddenly, I want to set a fire here for all the toiling people." I calmly looked at the shadow of the mane in front of me, and I didn't know whether I was happy that I could mix in the ranks of this kind of Zhumen wine and meat, or whether I should despise it.
"It's good to get used to it." He Liancheng said and walked me in.
We didn't stay too long on the first floor, we went straight to the main auction hall on the third floor and found our place to sit down. He Liancheng let go of my hand and whispered, "We're early, you can take a look first." โ
At this time, Peng Jiade walked over, shook hands with He Liancheng gently, and said, "Long time no see, really modified?" โ
Because I heard the conversation between He Liancheng and him, I know that he doesn't look out of tune on the outside, but he actually sees things most clearly. So when he reached out his hand, I also shook him politely.
He looked at me and said, "Miss Lin is quite courageous. โ
Before I could speak, He Liancheng had already spoken, and he said to Peng Jiade: "This is my own choice, and I will take care of it in the future." โ
Peng Jiade smiled and said of course, and then sat down next to us and talked to He Liancheng about the recent business.
I couldn't get into their conversation, so I just sat and listened.
At this time, people entered one after another, all of them were in pairs, and suddenly a single one walked in, which was particularly eye-catching.
He walked over from the light, his body was straight, wearing a decent suit, and his whole body revealed the temperament of being born unapproachable.
When I saw his face, I recognized him as Liu Tian.
He glanced at the people who had already arrived, and then met my gaze. I turned around pretending to hide it, gossiped with He Liancheng, and didn't dare to look back at him again.
Maybe this is a common disease of people, and people who owe something to them will have a weak heart, and I am no exception.
His position was two rows in front of us, not far or close. When he sat down, he didn't attract anyone's attention. I couldn't see his expression, only his back sitting straight.
After about ten minutes, a group of people walked in from the door, the venue was very quiet, only the sound of whispered conversations, these people walked in as if no one else was talking, which attracted more attention than Liu Tian coming in alone.
He Liancheng and Peng Jiade also stopped talking, looked up, turned their heads after only one glance, and said disgustedly: "Why is it her again?" โ
There are not many people who can make He Liancheng evaluate in this tone, and I can see clearly that there are two people I know in this line, one is Bai Lu and the other is Jia Yuhan.
I really can't understand how a girl like Bai Lu could be friends with Jia Yuhan, the two are clearly different types.
Jia Yuhan has always been high-profile and flamboyant, wearing a dress as red as fire, with a somewhat familiar man straddled his arm, I asked in surprise: "This is not the one...... Does Zhao Heyuan play that movie? โ
"Yes." He Liancheng said calmly.
Peng Jiade said helplessly: "Don't say this in front of me, a cousin, okay?" โ
"Is she messing around at home?" He Liancheng asked rhetorically.
Peng Jiade stopped talking, and I saw that Jia Yuhan had already discovered us at this time, and walked straight over. I thought she would definitely come over to make things difficult for me, but I didn't expect her to walk up to Liu Tian and stop. With a particularly contemptuous look, he looked Liu Tian up and down a few times and said, "Why is the infatuated seed alone?" Isn't it because of a woman who fell out with his family? Leaving the house? Someone with only one professional manager's title? How can there be money to participate in this? She said looking at us with bad intentions.
He Liancheng looked over defiantly, grabbed my wrist with one hand, and didn't let me rush out.
I think He Liancheng is a little too nervous, I just want to relieve Liu Tian, and I have no position or identity to help him out. What's more, there is him standing next to me, and if I make any moves at this time, it will tear apart the relationship between me and He Liancheng.
Liu Tian, who has always been silent and introverted, raised his head and looked at Jia Yuhan, and said in a very calm tone: "Miss Jia, you care about the wrong person." What you should care more about is whether the man around you can enter the eyes of your parents. โ
I was relieved to hear him say this.
Liu Tian didn't have thorns, but he didn't show the thorns on his body.
Jia Yuhan was really angry, she suppressed her anger for a while before continuing: "You don't care about this don't work, the man I want can't get it?" Besides, I didn't want to take him home. It's just a male partner, unlike you who don't even have a female partner now? โ
Liu Tian didn't continue to answer her words, stood up and turned around and walked out, obviously not wanting to continue talking to this kind of woman.
If Jia Yuhan was smart, she would take the opportunity to go back to her seat, but she didn't know if she was dizzy with anger, or she couldn't see Liu Tian's calmness. He chased after him in a few steps, and stretched out his hand to block Liu Tian's way. The voice was not loud, but the words were clear: "How does it feel to stand beside someone else and lie in someone else's arms for a woman you have paid a qiฤ for?" โ
"Get out!" Liu Tian raised his head, and a word popped out of his mouth.
He Liancheng was also angry, he shook off my hand and walked over to them, Peng Jiade grabbed him and whispered, "Aren't you messy enough?" Does Miss Lin still have face when she makes trouble? Wait here. โ
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left his seat, walked over with a casual attitude, and said to Jia Yuhan, "What are you making trouble again?" โ
Jia Yuhan had already seen Peng Jiade on our side, looked at him and asked, "Cousin, are you also speaking for that woman?" It's really hilarious. โ
Peng Jiade's face couldn't be hung up, he probably didn't expect Jia Yuhan to dare to say anything regardless of the occasion. I had to grab Jia Yuhan with a black face and walk out.
"You let go." Jia Yuhan said loudly.
Peng Jiade didn't hear it, or continued to walk out quickly, Jia Yuhan was pulled and stumbled, Bai Lu on the side couldn't stand it anymore, trotted after him, and said to Peng Jiade: "Sister Yuhan is in a hurry to do this, don't ...... like this"
Peng Jiade's feet are not stopping, and he is still walking out.
They walked in a hurry, and only stopped when they bumped into someone at the door, Peng Jiade looked up and saw that it was Guo Mingming who walked over holding her father's arm and hurriedly apologized.
I stood not far away and watched this farce, feeling embarrassed. At the same time, I felt a little lost, and I just couldn't adapt to such an occasion. I suddenly felt bored, because because of my identity, I became the object of onlookers wherever I went. I don't want to be watched like a monkey, and I don't want to embarrass He Liancheng or Liu Tian because of my appearance.
I lifted my skirt and turned to leave, He Liancheng grabbed my hand from behind and asked, "Calm down." โ
"I'm going to the bathroom." I whispered.
"I'll be with you." He said take me out and walked out around the group.
I felt relieved when I left the auction hall, the oppressive atmosphere made me uncomfortable, maybe a person like me should not have such a life at all.
When he arrived at the door of the bathroom, He Liancheng stopped and said, "I'll wait for you outside." โ
I nodded slightly to him and walked in, he was with me almost an inch today, for fear that I would encounter someone who would embarrass me. But what about me? Let him protect for the rest of his life? It's unlikely that people, the tiger still has a nap, and then it's so tiring. He's tired, and I'm tired.
I gave myself a smile in the mirror and made my expression look a little happier. But the person in the mirror still looked embarrassed, and there was unwillingness and reluctance in his eyes.
I reached out and pressed the corner of my mouth to push it up, showed a smile, and then said to myself, "Lin Leyi, cheer up." โ
In the past, I knew how to deal with Jia Yuhan, and return the body of others in the way of others. She wants to be a rogue scoundrel, and I'm more rogue than she is. But now, He Liancheng is standing beside me. Every move I make is closely related to him, and some things are really hard to do, so I have to suppress them.
Just as I was saying this, a woman's delicate makeup appeared in the mirror.
She wore a short black one-shoulder gown, a full set of colored tourmaline jewelry, delicate features, and eyes that made people look at her eyes at a glance.
Best of all, her dress is the same one I have. It's just that the two of us wore the same clothes in different styles.
Looking at the woman in the mirror, I realized how the word noble was interpreted. Suddenly I felt like a little pheasant mixed in with the cranes, although the tail was stuck with feathers, it still didn't look like it. Before I saw this woman, I felt that my temperament was okay, at least standing next to He Liancheng did not dwarf me. However, the appearance of this woman made me feel inferior
