29. Private auction (three watches)
Walking to the long table, Gu Xi relaxed me and gracefully picked up a glass of wine and glanced at me, "Distressed? ”
"Of course......," I raised an eyebrow, "no." ”
The corners of his mouth twitched, and he leaned lightly against the edge of the table and asked me, "If I don't make a move, are you going to punch him in the face with that little fist?" ”
I lowered my eyes and sniffed my nose, this person was very annoying, and he had clearly stood by for a long time, and even my subtle movements were in the eyes. Xue also took a goblet from the table, the color of the inside was orange, thinking it was orange juice, and took a sip only to find that it was slightly drunk, probably some kind of cocktail or something.
But looking at the various colorful dishes on the table, it is estimated that they are all wine, and I said that this will not be a wine tasting party.
didn't look at him, and said to himself: "I'm not as savage as you, clenching my fist is just a small subconscious action." It's just that when he turned around to avoid it, he turned on the recording with his mobile phone, thinking about how Ruolin Sheng would feel when he heard that conversation. ”
"Huh! The kindness of a woman. With a sneer, Gu Xi looked disapproving, "If a man wants to do something to a woman, usually ten minutes is enough." Think what's the use of you taking a recording of a broken phone afterwards? ”
The meaning is very straightforward, although there is no ambiguity when it comes out of his mouth, it makes me blush. In order to cover up, I lowered my head and took a sip of the liquid in the wine glass, and only when I reached the bottom did I hear Gu Xi jokingly say: "The amount of wine is good, and the spirit of whiskey can be dried in one gulp." ”
Instantly I froze, is it a spirit? I couldn't question the facts, and soon I felt my belly burn like a fire, and after a while my back was sweaty and my mouth was thirsty. But in addition to the wine on the long table, and the suspected colored drink, there is no clear water. I don't dare to touch those "colored drinks" anymore, and I don't appreciate the red wine and white wine.
At this moment, a gray-haired old man dressed in a royal blue Tang costume walked out of the inner hall, which immediately attracted everyone's attention. Even Gu Xi looked at the past with a scattered look just now, and said in his heart, Could it be that the master came out?
Sure enough, the old man walked to the middle and double-clicked his palm twice, and then said loudly: "Thank you for coming tonight, and then I would like to invite the distinguished guests who received the post to follow me into the hall, and the rest of us can still continue to enjoy the food in the hall, and our big screen will also broadcast the process of the treasure auction in real time." ”
It turned out that this was a private auction.
There was no surprise that Gu Xi was invited, otherwise he would not have appeared here. But his sudden outstretch of his hand around my shoulder made my body stiffen, and I heard his low voice: "It's up to you in a moment." ”
I didn't understand what he meant, and I was half-hugged into the back hall. A very different style from the foyer, with rows of velvet sofa chairs on steps upwards, and a long booth in front of it, an auction scene I've only seen in movies.
The white-haired master stood there and looked at us, looking waiting, instinctively etiquette, but when Gu Xi and I got closer, he stepped forward to greet us: "Gu Xian, there must be something you like tonight." Gu Xi smiled, but was silent.
At this time, a loud voice suddenly came from behind him: "Old Xu, you are not authentic, you don't leave me good things." ”
When he turned around, he met a cold gaze, and his heart suddenly burst out, Lin Sheng.
Although I had already guessed that Lin Sheng was probably there when I saw Lu Ye appear, it was still hard for me not to be surprised not to see him like this, especially... She also wore a long black dress today, with a longer hem than mine, or rather an evening gown, or even her hair was similarly pulled up above her head, but her outfit was a sparkling diamond. Matching with her makeup, it is very capable and cold.
She held a middle-aged man with deep lines in the corners of her eyes, who looked to be in his fifties, dressed in a navy blue suit, and whose hair was combed and neat. Although the eyes that came to him were smiling, it was difficult to hide the sharpness behind them.
