The auction started on time at nine o'clock in the morning in country M, Wei Lan was alone with the number plate, the laptop was placed next to him, and the whole process of the auction was broadcast live, Gu Xiu was sitting in the lounge of the Tianqi bar, behind him was the brilliant lights in the bar, and the auction did not get much interest from him.

"Now the auction of the first exhibit is a crystal porcelain jade vase from the 19th century......"

Zhong Qing couldn't help but feel a little nervous with the number plate, she turned her head to look at the people who came to participate in the auction around her, there was no familiar face, but for some reason, there was always a strong sense of unease in her heart.

"What are you doing with this stuff streaming to me?" Gu Xiu said hoarsely: "Don't bother me with such a trivial matter." ”

After Gu Xiu finished speaking, he turned off the video directly, he was too lazy to watch this kind of boring auction, a group of people fried things to a high price for the sake of so-called face, if Gu Xiu really wanted it, he would buy the things before the auction started.

Wei Lan thought of the list of invited guests, frowned unconsciously, he hesitated to close the computer, but at this time, a familiar voice sounded-

"Six hundred thousand."

Zhong Qing raised the number plate in her hand, and Fang Zuo next to her looked at her in surprise, this is not Zhong Qing's mother's necklace, just an ordinary oil painting, why is Zhong Qing so positive?

"Xu Ruo likes this painter." Zhong Qing blinked at Fang Zuo and smiled: "Buy this and hang it in his room, he will definitely like it." ”

However, at the same time as she finished saying this, Zhong Qing obviously felt a sharp gaze fall on her, and she subconsciously turned her head, but she couldn't find who was looking at her.

"Six hundred thousand once! 600,000 twice! Six hundred thousand three times! The auctioneer made the final decision: "Deal!" ”

Zhong Qing breathed a sigh of relief, Fang Zuo looked at her strangely, not understanding why Zhong Qing had refused to agree to Xu Ruo's pursuit in the past few years, and took such care of Xu Ruo.

Dozens of meters behind Zhong Qing, Wei Lan tried to connect to the video call again, but Gu Xiu's side refused to accept it and was forced to be helpless, so Wei Lan had to order the subordinates of Tianqi Bar to hold the video to him.

"I said I was drinking!" Gu Xiu's face was very ugly: "Don't bother me." ”

Wei Lan didn't dare to delay time, and immediately said, "Second master, I seem to have seen her." ”

In an instant, Gu Xiu's face changed drastically, he put down the cup in his hand and approached the computer screen, trying to distinguish Zhong Qing's figure in the crowd.

"Someone just bought an oil painting, and the voice is very similar to her." Wei Lan said: "The auction of the agate jade necklace is coming soon, if Miss Zhong is here, she will definitely not miss this opportunity." ”

As soon as Wei Lan's words fell, he saw the agate necklace displayed on the stage.

"This agate jade necklace, originated in the northeast of China, once a respected lady loved it, and then the lady died of illness, the necklace was donated to charity, and in this auction, the final price of this necklace will be donated to the orphanage." The auctioneer said, "Now, the auction price of this necklace is ...... Twenty thousand. ”

"Thirty thousand!"

"Fifty thousand!"

"One hundred thousand!"

The last "one hundred thousand", Gu Xiu could hear it clearly, the voice that had been entangled in his mind for three whole years, how could he forget? Gu Xiu's breathing was a little unsteady, Wei Lan zoomed in on the camera without waiting for his order, Zhong Qing's back was very inconspicuous in the crowd, but Gu Xiu still saw it at a glance.

The auctioneer said, "Is there anyone else who wants to bid?" 100,000 for the first time! 100,000 Second ......"

"Three hundred thousand!"

Wei Lan held the headphones and held up the number plate according to Gu Xiu's order, the audience was in an uproar as soon as this price was said, this necklace was not worth much in terms of its own value, and the people who bought him wanted to do good deeds in front of his female companion to win favor, but he didn't expect someone to bid at such a high price.

Zhong Qing turned around with a frown, and the moment she saw Wei Lan, her face turned pale.

"What's wrong?" Fang Zuo saw that the situation was not right and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

Zhong Qing took a deep breath and said, "I'll give 400,000." "This is her mother's necklace, she must buy it, although Wei Lan appeared here and the situation was not in her favor, but now was not the time for her to back down.

"Eight hundred thousand." Wei Lan held up the number plate, and Gu Xiu was raising the price on the other end of the earphone.

Zhong Qing's fingers on her knees curled, the money in her hand couldn't compete with Wei Lan at all, but her mother's necklace was very important to her, and she had to fight with all her might.

"One, one million!"

The audience was silent, and anyone who was a little smarter could see that these two people were fighting for a necklace, although this situation is not unusual at auction, but it is rare to fry a necklace worth 20,000 yuan to 1 million.

Wei Lan held the headphones and whispered a few words to the headphones, just as the auctioneer was about to shout the price, Wei Lan stood up, the lens of the laptop was facing the direction of Zhong Qing, and he said loudly:

"Two million, all in cash, settled in one lump sum."

After a pause, Wei Lan looked in Zhong Qing's direction and said, "The second master said, no matter how much money you pay, he will pay double." ”

Zhong Qing lowered her head and didn't say a word, Fang Zuo saw that the fingers she put on her knees were already twisted and deformed, remembering what Xu Ruo had said when they were about to go out, he wanted to raise a sign to help Zhong Qing bid, but Zhong Qing held down his arm.

Gu Xiu squinted his eyes and watched Zhong Qing pull the arm of a strange man in the video, and sneered - I didn't expect that three years later, you are still the one who rightfully accepts a man's kindness to you.

Zhong Qing, Zhong Qing, in the past three years since you left, how many men have been crazy about you around you? You seem to have the charm to make everyone fascinate you.

"Two million for the first time! Two million for the second time! Two million third ...... Deal! ”

At the moment of the final decision, Zhong Qing felt as if a large piece of her heart had been gouged out, she fidgeted, and immediately got up and left the moment the auctioneer announced the end of the auction.

Wei Lan walked out with her laptop, Zhong Qing gritted her teeth, and finally followed.

"Mr. Wei." Zhong Qing shouted, and Wei Lan stopped and turned to look at her.

"Whose voice should I be so familiar with, it turned out to be Miss Zhong." Wei Lan said: "I'm really embarrassed to rob Miss Zhong's things just now, the second master gave an order, and I can't help it." ”

"This necklace is a relic left by my mother, and I have been looking for it for a long time." Zhong Qing said: "I'm willing to pay a higher price, can you sell it exclusively to me?" ”

Wei Lan shook his head without thinking: "The second master said that if this necklace doesn't reach him, then I don't have to go back." ”

"Why did he buy this necklace?" Zhong Qing finally asked what was in her heart, she didn't expect to intersect with Gu Xiu again, let alone expect Wei Lan to suddenly appear in this auction, if it was a coincidence, it would be ridiculous to be in heaven.

"A lot of things in this world don't make sense." Wei Lan narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully: "When you left the second master, he also asked why, but no one gave him an answer, and in the same way, the second master didn't need a reason to buy this necklace." If there is one......"

"The second master has been in a bad mood recently, and he likes to buy things and go back and smash them with his own hands, and the vase he bought last month and the antiques he bought last month were smashed by him."

Zhong Qing looked at Wei Lan in disbelief, the latter looked at her calmly, Zhong Qing almost bit a mouthful of silver teeth, she couldn't imagine that the necklace she had been looking for for more than ten years might be smashed by Gu Xiu.

Whether Wei Lan said this on purpose or not, Zhong Qing didn't know, even if there was only a one percent possibility, she didn't want her mother's necklace to become a piece of pieces.

Zhong Qing took a deep breath and said, "Then how can I get my necklace back." ”

Wei Lan smiled, took off the headphones and put them on Zhong Qing's ears, and in the next second, Gu Xiu's voice sounded:

"You know how."

Zhong Qing took off her headphones like an electric shock, she looked at Wei Lan in horror, and a large cold sweat broke out on her back spine. originally thought that Wei Lan would cut off contact with Gu Xiu after the laptop was turned off, but he didn't expect that what he said just now, Gu Xiu listened to it word for word.

Zhong Qing's brain was buzzing, and the familiar voice sounded again, and the memories of the past instantly swept through her mind.

She felt numb all over her body, and her hands began to become disobedient.

Wei Lan calmly picked up the earphones on the ground, and put them back in his pocket, Fang Zuo, who had been standing next to him, didn't know what was going on, he didn't know Wei Lan, and naturally he didn't know who the "second master" in Wei Lan's mouth was.

Zhong Qing returned to the hotel in despair, Xu Ruo was inspecting various areas of the hotel, and when he heard that Zhong Qing was back, he immediately asked people to bring the prepared desserts.

Fang Zuo followed behind Zhong Qing with the oil painting, obviously feeling that Zhong Qing was smiling a little reluctantly.

Seeing Fang Zuo open the protective film on the outside of the oil painting, Xu Ruo was very surprised: "This is ......"

"You like a work by a painter and you buy it when you see it at auction." Zhong Qing pretended to pat Xu Ruo's shoulder generously, and said half-jokingly: "You don't have to be too grateful to me, I'll accept this dessert." I'm a little tired, so I'll go back and rest first. ”

After Zhong Qing finished speaking, he left the lounge with a plate of desserts, Xu Ruo turned his head to look at Fang Zuo, who said:

"Miss Zhong didn't buy that necklace."

Xu Ruo frowned: "What's the matter?" ”

"There was a man named Mr. Wei, no matter how much Miss Zhong bid, he offered double the price, and the final transaction price was two million." Fang Zuo said: "After the auction, Miss Zhong went to find him, and he said that all this was arranged by a person named 'Second Master', and Miss Zhong seemed to be greatly stimulated. ”

Who is Mr. Wei and who is the second master, Xu Ruo couldn't be clearer, he took a deep breath, his body trembled a little, he didn't expect that he and Zhong Qing had been hiding for three years, and they still hadn't escaped Gu Xiu.
