Chapter 223: The Auction (1)
"There is a woman named Mu Qin in the Mu family, who is about forty-five years old now, ran away from home twenty-two years ago, and was found and brought back by the family more than a year later, I want to know her current situation." Jin Cheng repeated what he had asked Qiao Liangong before.
Ni Xiuyuan frowned and pondered for a moment, "I know the Mu Qin you said, it's really a coincidence, before I say it, can I ask her what she has to do with you?" ”
"I'm sorry, it's my private matter, I don't want to say it." Jin Cheng looked directly into Ni Xiuyuan's eyes and replied without flinching.
The two looked at each other like this, without saying a word, the air seemed to freeze in an instant, Ni Shan was secretly anxious on the side, for fear that her grandfather would be angry, and she was also complaining in her heart about how this Jin Cheng didn't know how to be flexible, did he have to speak hard?
After a while, Ni Xiuyuan laughed, "Okay, the kid is brave enough, the old man likes you more and more, if I have two granddaughters, I will definitely accept you as my grandson-in-law." ”
"The old man is not laughing, and the younger generation is listening." Jin Cheng was unmoved by Old Man Ni's half-truths and half-truths, and said with a calm expression.
"Okay, this matter has something to do with the Ni family, Mu Qin ran away from home because he was dissatisfied with the marriage arranged by the family and wanted to escape the marriage, and it was our Ni family who signed a marriage contract with the Mu family, so I would know Mu Qin's existence."
Ni Xiuyuan took a sip of water and continued: "As for later, because she took the initiative to escape the marriage and did not find it for a long time, the two parties dissolved the marriage contract, which also made the two parties unhappy, and the Mu family made some compensation for this. Later, Mu Qin was recovered, it seems that she has been locked up in the Mu family, no one cares about her all these years, if it wasn't for you to mention it, I would have forgotten about it, and as for how she is now, I don't know. ”
"I want to know Muqin's father's name." Jin Cheng was a little disappointed that he didn't get the exact news from his mother, he decided to change his strategy, some things can't be avoided, and he has to face them head-on to figure it out.
"Mu Yangu." Ni Xiuyuan said affirmatively.
"Thank you, thank you very much." After Jin Cheng experienced a short period of loss, he regained his state, his eyes were firm and persistent, and the whole person was like a sharp sword out of the sheath, giving people a sense of indomitability. These were all seen by Ni Xiuyuan, he could only appreciate and admire, and at the same time, he silently counted the other outstanding young unmarried women in the family in his heart, he had a feeling that if he let Jin Cheng go like this, he would regret it.
"When that's done, I asked the waiter to serve the food, and I can't wait to taste the taste of braised bear paw." Ni Shan interrupted the conversation between the two at the right time and returned to the dinner table.
Jin Cheng accompanied Ni Xiuyuan to drink some wine, and during the banquet, Ni Xiuyuan knocked on the side and asked about Jin Cheng's master, Jin Cheng looked at other things, and only revealed that his master would not be born for the time being.
After eating, Ni Shan heard that Jin Cheng was going to the auction, and she also shouted to go.
Ni Xiuyuan originally wanted to prevent Ni Shan and Jin Cheng from continuing to contact, but considering that it would arouse her granddaughter's strong disgust, she was very resistant to the family marriage, and she had no choice but to let it go, hoping that Jin Cheng, the kid, could go back to the small county town as much as possible.
Ni Shan drove to the meeting place designated by Zuo Jihui, which was an ordinary-looking hotel with nothing outstanding about it.
"Oh, Dr. Jin can't see it, he actually brought such a beautiful female companion tonight, tsk, beauty, introduce yourself, contemptible Zuo Jihui, it's a pleasure to meet you." Zuo Jihui's eyes lit up when he saw the beauty in the red supercar, and then he saw Jin Cheng, the public face next to him, he thought he was dazzled, and after a while, he determined that it was Jin Cheng, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
"Hello, Ni Shan. This should be the largest underground auction house in Beijing, is it the annual year-end auction today? Ni Shan said lukewarmly after looking around.
"Yes, Miss Ni is not simple, even I know this, it's almost the end of the year, this is the last big auction of the year, I heard that I have collected a lot of good things." Zuo Jihui heard Ni Shan talk about the point, and knew that she was not an ordinary vase girl, so he immediately became interested in her identity. The surname is Ni, will it ...... It won't be so scary! If it is true, then Jin Cheng's luck is too against the sky!
"Young Master Zuo, Miss Ni, can we go in?" Jin Cheng saw that the two were standing and chatting, so he urged.
"Of course, this way." Zuo Jihui smiled and took the lead to walk forward, but his eyes glanced at Ni Shan from time to time.
After entering the hotel, under the guidance of the waiter, I came to a relatively hidden elevator.
Zuo Jihui handed the membership card to the doorman for inspection, the doorman glanced at it, and said politely: "I'm sorry sir, your membership card can only take one person in." ”
"What, isn't it possible to bring three people in?" Zuo Jihui asked in surprise.
"Sir is like this, in normal times, you can bring three people in with the ordinary membership card, but there are many people in the year-end auction, so you can only bring one person in, this is the company's regulations, and we just implement the regulations." Another doorman explained.
Ni Shan was about to say something when a discordant voice came.
"Ouch, isn't this Zuo Shao? What's the matter, it's blocked? It's okay, let this beauty go in with me, I'm a genuine premium membership card, and it's absolutely no problem to bring three people in. A tall, dignified young man hugged a flowery woman, led by the waiter, he held a golden card in his hand, looking at Zuo Jihui's eyes full of provocation and ridicule, as if Zuo Jihui had lost face, he was very happy.
"This beauty, contemptible statement, father Chen Youguang, please take care of me." The young man walked up to Ni Shan and looked Ni Shan up and down unscrupulously, the kind of red fruit in his eyes made people feel the urge to gouge out his eyeballs and step on them as bubbles.
"I said Chen Shao, don't be unhappy if you have nothing to do, you don't need to take care of Young Master's affairs." Zuo Jihui said angrily.
Ni Shan didn't even glance at the statement, and said to the doorman: "Box No. 3, who is there today?" ”
The doorman was taken aback for a moment, and thought for a while: "The Ni family is in charge." ”
"Okay, I'll call him and ask him to send me a membership card." Ni Shan took out her mobile phone and prepared to dial, but the doorman said weakly: "All signals are blocked at the auction site, and you can't get through." ”
"What kind of bullshit is this?" Ni Shan burst into foul language in annoyance.
The doorman looked embarrassed and said, "It's for safety." ”
"It's really retarded." Ni Shan continued to give bad reviews, looking very disdainful.
