Chapter 20: The Heart of St. Lena
"Grandpa, did you succeed?"
Seeing Qiao Weishan and Yi Chen coming out, Qiao Yiyi hurriedly asked, expecting and nervous.
Qiao Weishan smiled and nodded.
"What a success!"
Qiao Yiyi was happy and a little shocked at the same time, and couldn't help but look at Yi Chen. At this time, Yi Chen was standing beside Qiao Lao, without much mood swing, as if he had just done something insignificant.
Not only her, but the noble man was also very surprised, and looked at Yi Chen with his eyes for the first time.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but the lobby manager on the side seems to see envy and jealousy in his eyes.
"Congratulations to Qiao Lao for finally getting rid of the curse, and from now on he will be blessed with the sea and live longer than Nanshan." The noble man retracted his gaze and congratulated Qiao Weishan.
He knew very well how much that curse had affected Qiao Weishan and the Qiao family. He had fantasized that it would be great if he could find a way to lift this curse, so that the marriage between his family and the Qiao family would definitely succeed!
It's a pity that fantasy is just fantasy after all, although reality is more absurd than fantasy - can it not be ridiculous that the curse that made many large families helpless was actually lifted by a teenager of unknown origin?
"Haha, Xiaojie has a heart." Qiao Weishan was in a very good mood at the moment.
But then, he thought of something again, his face became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "I don't want to leak what happened here today, do you understand?" ”
There seemed to be a faint majesty in him, whether it was a luxurious man named Xiaojie, or his granddaughter Qiao Yiyi, or the lobby manager and the accompanying bodyguards, they all felt great pressure at this moment.
"Don't worry, Qiao Lao, I haven't seen anything here today." The luxurious man was the first to speak.
His name is Zheng Chengjie, and he is also a well-known son in Jiangyou, but in front of Qiao Weishan, he does not dare to show a trace of arrogance.
The lobby manager immediately followed suit, a little trembling. In front of these people, he can only be regarded as a small person.
Although Yi Chen didn't know why Qiao Weishan wanted these people to keep it secret, he was very satisfied with it, and then took out his mobile phone to look at the time, and said, "Old Qiao, I should go back." ”
"I've got you today, I'll let Yiyi send you." Qiao Weishan said kindly.
"No, I still have a friend at the auction house, and I'm going to meet him." Yi Chen politely rejected his kindness.
"In that case, forget it. Yiyi, you remember Xiao Chen's mobile phone number. ”
After speaking, Qiao Weishan turned to Yi Chen and said, "If you are free next month, you will call Yiyi and ask her to pick you up." In addition, if you encounter any trouble in Jiangyou, you can also make this call, Qiao still has a bit of a thin face in Jiangyou. ”
How thin is it? Zheng Chengjie was a little envious, and he didn't know what kind of luck this kid had, so he leaned directly on the big tree of Qiao's house.
"It's fine."
Yi Chen didn't talk nonsense, immediately exchanged mobile phone numbers with Qiao Yiyi, and then turned around and left.
After he disappeared around the corner, Qiao Yiyi couldn't help but say, "Do you want someone to check his identity?" ”
Qiao Weishan was silent for a moment, nodded and said: "Yes, but one thing to remember, from now on, he is my Qiao Weishan's benefactor, and if you don't respect him, you will be disrespectful to me!" ”
This last sentence was very heavy, as if to warn those present.
Zheng Chengjie's face changed, and he hurriedly dispelled some thoughts that welled up in his heart.
……
"Yi Chen, where have you been, why have you been there for so long, I was just about to call you."
Yi Chen originally wanted to leave the auction hall directly, but he didn't want to collide with Shen Baifeng, who was standing at the door of the Princely Hall and dialing his mobile phone.
"It's quite big here, so I stopped by and walked around." Yi Chen explained casually.
"What's there to visit, you know what, you're missing out on a wonderful moment. After you left, Wang Hao immediately put away the shadow leopard, embarrassed to take it out again to show off. and Zhai Xingcheng, his face turned red, and he would dare to bet casually about eating sofas in the future! ”
Maybe it was because he had regained some face, Shen Baifeng smiled very heartily.
Seeing him like this, Yi Chen suddenly understood Shen Xihan's mood a little, having such a younger brother is indeed a headache, and sooner or later he will have to offend everyone in the circle.
"I've already done the favor, so I'll go back first." Yi Chen opened his mouth to say goodbye, unwilling to go to the right and wrong place in the princely hall again.
"No, the auction of the 'Heart of St. Lena' is about to begin, so you don't want to see it?" Shen Baifeng said.
Bringing Yi Chen in now, even if he doesn't say anything, it will make Wang Hao and Zhai Xingcheng feel uncomfortable. That's what he's for.
Yi Chen naturally knew his purpose, but thinking of Saint Lina's heart, he hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay, then go and see." ”
At the moment, his mood is a little contradictory, it is easy to think about things, he wants to see things, but he doesn't want to see things......
Re-entering the Princely Hall, I don't know if it was intentional, Wang Hao and Zhai Xingcheng pretended not to see him, and chatted with the people next to them.
The others looked at him a few more times, including Shen Xihan, Xiao Yumeng, and the short-haired girl. It's just that the gaze is different.
Shen Xihan's eyes showed surprise, Xiao Yumeng was scrutinizing and repulsing, and as for the short-haired girl, she was full of curiosity.
Curiosity is actually very dangerous, plus this short-haired girl is fair-skinned, pure and lovely, and has a unique temperament, if it were Yi Chen when she was young, maybe she would use her curiosity to approach her, and then chase her down.
But now, he doesn't have that kind of mind.
After reading the prosperity, I know what the real precious thing is.
On the auction table, the [Heart of St. Lena] was finally displayed.
It is a delicate pendant with a purple diamond on top that emits a mesmerizing glow that is dreamlike and intoxicating.
"Is this the Heart of St. Lena? It's beautiful. Unexpectedly, Master Yi is not only a great forger, but also a great artist! ”
Xiao Yumeng looked intently at the pendant on the auction table, and her heart was full of admiration.
The other girls were also attracted to the pendant, and even if it wasn't a magic item, they were willing to pay a lot of money to photograph it.
Shen Xihan secretly clenched her fists, a little nervous in her heart, she had a hunch that it might not be easy to take down this pendant today.
The short-haired girl seemed to think of something, and couldn't help but say: "Don't you think it's strange, such a beautiful pendant, and it is also from the hand of Master Yi, even if it is just a bronze-level magic jewelry, there should be many people who are willing to collect it, how can it change hands one after another and end up here?" ”
"Xuanxuan, what do you want to say?" The crowd looked at her suspiciously.
The short-haired girl hesitated for a moment and said, "Have you heard of it...... The curse of St. Lena? ”
