Chapter 251: Bad Intentions
Today's auction wedding dress is the finale of the auction, and at the beginning, there will be a few items that are not expensive, but attractive enough to be auctioned.
When the seats in the venue were almost full, Su Nianrou appeared in the venue with Ji Xingchen in her arms.
The wedding of the two has been rumored, and the Ji family is extremely high-profile in this regard, everyone's eyes fell on Su Nianrou's hand holding Ji Xingchen.
It's really intimate, and it seems that the rumors from the outside world are not true.
Su Nianrou sat in her place in the eyes of envy or hidden jealousy.
Ji Xingchen was sitting next to her, but his eyes fell on Su Nianwei next to the high platform through the faint crowd.
Her face hasn't changed much, but tonight, in order to match the theme of the auction, she made up a little thicker, and the minimalist white dress on her body lightened some of the bright makeup on her face a lot, with black hair and red lips, and a stunning white dress.
But such a stunning beauty does not belong to him.
Or rather, he was pushed out by his own hands.
Ji Xingchen withdrew his eyes, and his eyes gradually became gloomy.
He looked at Su Nianrou beside him: "This is the effect you want, what else do you care about besides vanity?" β
Su Nianrou's makeup today is much more delicate than ordinary people, even if Ji Xingchen is a man, he also knows that makeup is not good for children.
Being stared at by Ji Xingchen's gaze, Su Nianrou's face was a little more guilty, but she still opened her mouth to argue for herself: "Most of the people who came to today's auction are celebrities in City A, so you can't lose your manners and fall behind in front of them." β
But Ji Xingchen is no longer as trusting of her words as before, his expression is bleak, and he is even a little sarcastic.
The first exhibit was a very delicate ruby cufflink, which was obviously also designed by Su Nianwei, and when the booth lady pushed it up, the venue, which was still a little talkative, was silent.
Seeing the pair of cufflinks, Su Nianrou felt a burst of disdain in her heart, and it was really something that couldn't be put on the table.
But Ji Xingchen was the first to raise his card.
Everyone knew some of the origins of Ji Xingchen and the Su family's sisters, and at this time, a few of them raised their cards at the same time, holding the posture of watching jokes.
But Ji Xingchen quickly increased the price every time someone raised his card, and the price given at this time was far more than ten times the starting price of the pair of ruby cufflinks.
Others gradually realized his persistence, but stopped following the bidding.
And next every auction item designed by Su Nianwei, Ji Xingchen will participate in the bidding, Su Nianrou didn't look at herself from beginning to end, but showed an extremely obsessive look at those things.
"Xingchen, others like you will be misunderstood."
While bearing the eyes of everyone who had become confused and mocking, Su Nianrou still had to keep smiling, but she had already gritted her teeth in her heart.
She begged Ji Xingchen to come today, not to see him spend a lot of money for Su Nianwei.
"Misunderstanding? I remember when Vivi was my fiancΓ©e, you begged me to spend a lot of money for you, and you didn't seem to think you would be misunderstood. β
Ji Xingchen's face was expressionless.
Knowing that if he was stopped again, Ji Xingchen might embarrass himself even more, so Su Nianrou bit her lip unwillingly and stopped talking.
After all, this time Ji Xingchen is willing to come, the wedding dress that everyone dreams of will inevitably be hers, and when the time comes, Su Nianwei will watch herself put on the wedding dress she designed and marry Ji Xingchen, and she will win this game.
Unknowingly, the auction has come to an end, and the last auction item, the wedding dress designed by Su Nianwei herself, plus the wedding dress polished by the famous wedding designer Y and the costume design master An Hong, was worn by Han Xinyu on the auction table in the spotlight.
"The meaning of this wedding dress is very different to me, so its starting price is 100,000 yuan."
Su Nianwei looked at everyone with a smile.
For the works with the blessing of Advent and Master Y, the starting price of this wedding dress is obviously low.
But soon someone began to bid for the auction, and the price was directly increased to 500,000.
"Xingchen, you promised me that you would definitely help me get a picture of this wedding dress."
Su Nianrou knew that with her strength, she was not enough to compete with the other famous ladies present, not to mention that if she raised her card, she would inevitably be ridiculed like last time.
Thinking that the people who competed with her last time also came today, Su Nianrou couldn't wait to let them see how important she was in Ji Xingchen's heart.
Ji Xingchen finally began to bid: "Ten million, no matter who else wants to increase the price, I will have 100,000 more than her." β
This figure caused an uproar in the audience.
I don't understand, so I naturally think that this is because the eldest young master of the Ji family values his wife who is about to get started, so he will auction a wedding dress at a sky-high price, but many people speculate that Ji Xingchen is so willing to do this for the designer of this wedding dress.
Su Nianwei's gaze finally fell on Ji Xingchen's body.
"Ji Shao is so popular, it seems that in a few days, Miss Su will become the most enviable bride for the wedding of the Ji and Su families."
These words made Ji Xingchen couldn't help but be in a trance, and he didn't understand whether Su Nianwei was jealous or angry.
"I'm not for Su Nianrou, I'm ......"
Ji Xingchen couldn't help but want to explain, Su Nianwei's smile narrowed in her eyes, and she interrupted at the moment: "Since no one bids again, then this wedding dress will be in Ji Shao's pocket, and I will also send blessings to the wedding of the two in a few days." β
She almost blocked Ji Xingchen's unrealistic fantasies in one sentence.
She is very much looking forward to his wedding with Su Nianrou.
There was a faint discussion in the venue, and Su Nianrou and Ji Xingchen became the focus of attention from their appearance to leaving after the last lot they were shooting.
Han Xinyu showed the wedding dress perfectly, and after changing her clothes in the background, she was about to go to Su Nianwei, not wanting to meet someone she didn't expect.
"Miss Han, I've always heard your name from Ah Yang's mouth, and when we met for the first time today, it was as amazing as the rumors in the outside world."
It was a lady with a graceful posture who spoke, and there was a girl of the same age as her standing next to her, Han Xinyu raised her eyebrows, and finally remembered that these two were Mrs. Xiao and Miss Xiao.
When Xiao Yang went back to Xiao's house five years ago, Han Xinyu had seen these two people, and in terms of blood, these two people were not close to Xiao Yang, after all, one could only be regarded as a stepmother, and the other was just a half-sister.
But in the years of the accident, Xiao Yang was not treated harshly after returning to the Xiao family, these two people were tepid towards him, but they were not sad.
Han Xinyu's smile faded slightly: "I don't know what the two of you are looking for me?" β
"During this time, Ah Yang has been busy with the company's affairs, and he doesn't even go back to his home much, I want to invite you to Xiao's house as a guest, if a good friend comes, he should go home, and he can taste the food at home and have a good rest."
He ...... Haven't you been back to Xiao's house for a long time? β
Obviously, she went to the Z club last night to send her back to her private apartment, and Han Xinyu didn't see anything unusual about Xiao Yang at all.
Although her feelings for Xiao Yang have never changed, Han Xinyu will hardly ask about his private affairs in the name of liking him, and she can't help but wonder when she hears this.
"Yes, the second brother is like this, he doesn't pay much attention to his body when he is busy with the company's affairs, and to be honest, I'm also worried......"
Xiao Tang, who was standing next to Mrs. Xiao, looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.
Han Xinyu was worried and relieved at the same time, it seems that in the end, the Xiao family still cares about Xiao Yang.
She didn't think much about it, so she agreed to the two of them.
"Okay, I'll tell my friends, and I'll go to Xiao's house with you."
After that, Han Xinyu went backstage to find Su Nianwei, not noticing the Xiao family's mother and daughter's expressions that changed after she turned around.
Su Nianwei naturally won't stop Han Xinyu, she has seen it very clearly, even if there is an excellent suitor like Huo Yan by her side, Han Xinyu's liking for Xiao Yang will not be shaken by half a point, this is also a good opportunity for her to get in touch with the Xiao family and get closer.
"But if something happens, you must tell me."
Su Nianwei still habitually admonished.
"What can happen, don't worry."
Han Xinyu left the venue and got into the car to Xiao's house.
Approaching evening, the Xiao family was already brightly lit, Han Xinyu was brought into the Xiao family's villa by Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Tang all the way, sitting on the sofa, her expression was not the slightest restraint, and she smiled lightly: "Should I call Xiao Yang now and ask him to come back?" β
"No need, in fact, today we are not here to see Xiao Yang, but to meet you."
Mrs. Xiao's attitude was almost instantaneous, and even Xiao Tang's eyes were a little more ridiculous and sarcastic when she looked at her.
The strange atmosphere around her made Han Xinyu frown, but it didn't make her panic.
"What Mrs. Xiao means by this, I don't quite understand."
What kind of people she hadn't seen in the circle, and at this time, she probably understood that the Xiao family deliberately attracted her, but she was afraid that she had no good intentions.
"What else is Miss Han pretending? Do you know that just because you are entangled with Xiao Yang in every way, we have lost a big business of the Zhou family, and it is related to the financial situation of the Ji family for the entire quarter, because you are extremely bad alone, and you still have the face to appear in front of Xiao Yang? β
Han Xinyu's expression was slightly stunned, and her eyes gradually narrowed.
She didn't expect that the showdown between Xiao Yang and Zhou Suying would allow the Xiao family to be affected to such a point.
"Since Xiao Yang is the decision-maker of the Xiao family, I think he can make any decision instead of being swayed by others."
I didn't expect Han Xinyu to say such a thing, and Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Tang's expressions became more and more ugly.
"You are wrong, since his surname is Xiao, then he should be prepared to sacrifice himself for the sake of Xiao, whether it is his marriage or his whole person."
