As soon as several stylists on call around the clock received Su Xiaoyu's news, they immediately appeared in Zhao Ruozhi's dressing room with several boxes of clothes, jewelry, and cosmetics.

A long skirt of a black velvet dress with a large open back shows Zhao Ruozhi's perfect back line just right. Since it was not a masquerade ball, but a serious charity auction, the black dress was elegant and noble, and it was not too exaggerated.

The people who attended the auction were all well-known figures in the entertainment industry, and naturally the accessories on their bodies would also be compared. A seasoned stylist only needs to look at it to know what kind of jewelry Zhao Ruozhi is suitable for.

When the stylist pulled out a set of opal necklaces and earrings from the box, the lights in front of the makeup mirror seemed to dim.

Wearing a black velvet dress and a milky opal necklace, the whole person immediately became brilliant under the refraction of the crystal chandelier.

Su Xiaoyu appeared in front of Zhao Ruozhi in a gray striped suit with a burgundy satin bow tie and dark brown cowhide low-top leather shoes.

Zhao Ruozhi squinted his eyes and looked at Su Xiaoyu.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"With your figure, I didn't expect to look muscular when you wear a T-shirt, and you become a scumbag when you wear a suit."

"What do you call Sven scum?"

It's all blamed on Su Xiaoyu for speaking Chinese too well, and Zhao Ruozhi forgot that he was actually a native American, and it was normal for him to not understand the word "Sven scum".

"Sven scum is talking about people like you."

"Is this complimenting me?"

"Sort of." Looking at the pleasing man in front of him, Zhao Ruozhi smiled and took Su Xiaoyu's strong arm and said, "Let's go." ”

"Wait a minute." As he spoke, Su Xiaoyu squatted down and checked Zhao Ruozhi's heels.

"What's wrong?"

"The stylists bring new shoes, and I'm afraid you'll grind your feet."

Zhao Ruozhi pursed his lips.

"You sit down first."

Zhao Ruozhi sat down obediently, let Su Xiaoyu help her take off her shoes, and put a band-aid on the heel of the shoe.

The warmth of the palm was transmitted to Zhao Ruozhi's heart through the skin at the ankle, this seemingly cynical man turned out to have such a careful side.

Su Xiaoyu helped Zhao Ruozhi put on high heels, then took her hand and helped her stand up.

"Are you still grinding your feet?"

"No more grinding feet." Somehow, Zhao Ruozhi felt that his ears were very hot. "I used to get worn out by my shoes, but then I got used to it."

"You may have to stand for a long time before today's auction, and uncomfortable shoes will affect your performance."

Zhao Ruozhi sneered and laughed: "Do you think I will fight with people at the auction?" ”

"Even if you don't fight, you can't wear out your feet."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

After the driver took Zhao Ruozhi and Su Xiaoyu to the airport, Zhao Ruozhi learned that the auction was not in Los Angeles, but in Seattle.

The advantage of having a private jet is that you can take off when you want, and you won't be oversleeping and not catching up with the flight or being late because the plane is delayed and you can't catch the events in another city.

It took only five hours to get from the Beverly Hills villa to the Seattle auction site.

On the plane, the makeup artist can touch up Zhao Ruozhi's makeup, ensuring that she is definitely the most eye-catching focus of the audience when she gets off the plane.

The auction was set up in a private villa in the suburbs of Seattle. It is said to be a "villa", but in fact it is a house that is modeled after the design of a medieval castle in Europe.

From a distance, the castle looms in the middle of the forest.

Zhao Ruozhi was still worried about how he would get to the castle halfway up the mountain in a dress and high heels. I saw the driver drive the car and turn a sharp corner, and a flat asphalt path appeared in the mountain forest.

"Normally, the castle is not open to the public, so the road is designed to be narrow, and the driver will try to drive as smoothly as possible, and if it is uncomfortable, we can stop and rest for a while."

Looking at the winding mountain road in front of him, Zhao Ruozhi was indeed a little dizzy.

"We're going to be late, I'm okay."

As soon as the words fell, the driver slammed on the accelerator, and the car flew forward on the winding mountain road.

Zhao Ruozhi regretted it a little, but he didn't expect the driver's level to be so good that he was driving a roller coaster.

Halfway through the trip, Zhao Ruozhi was so dizzy that he could only tilt his head and close his eyes to recuperate.

Fortunately, in order to wear the dress with a small size, she didn't eat much all day, otherwise she would have vomited in the car.

"Are you still moving?"

After getting out of the car, Su Xiaoyu saw that Zhao Ruozhi's face was pale, obviously motion sickness.

"You help me, my legs are a little weak."

Su Xiaoyu smiled: "I see that you have to be strong, in fact, it's nothing to be late for a while." ”

"I don't like to be late."

"Okay."

So, it was supposed to be Zhao Ruozhi holding Su Xiaoyu's arm to enter the venue, but because Zhao Ruozhi was so dizzy from motion sickness that he couldn't stand steadily, it turned into Su Xiaoyu holding Zhao Ruozhi's waist and appearing at the door of the hall of the "castle".

As soon as the two entered, they attracted everyone's attention. The guests, who had been intently looking at the exhibits, also set their eyes on the dazzling man and woman.

A Frenchman with gray hair, a black vest, and gold-rimmed glasses closest to Zhao Ruozhi and Su Xiaoyu greeted Su Xiaoyu in English with a thick French accent: "Mr. Medici, you are finally here." ”

Su Xiaoyu responded to him in French: "It's too hard to find here, I almost got lost." ”

"How can such a trivial matter as finding the way be difficult for Monsieur Medici? Don't make fun of me. ”

"Of course it's not a joke, it's true that I almost got lost." Su Xiaoyu politely shook hands with the Frenchman, and since he was holding Zhao Ruozhi with his other hand, the French did not salute Su Xiaoyu face-to-face.

At this time, another tall and thin man with curly hair and snow-white skin joined the French and greeted Su Xiaoyu.

Zhao Ruozhi had learned a little French, but they spoke too fast, except for Su Xiaoyu's pure French, the two of them had some accents, so she basically didn't understand what the two people were saying, so she could only laugh on the side.

"Long time no see!" A blonde woman with champagne greeted Su Xiaoyu warmly.

Su Xiaoyu just smiled politely at her.

People around kept coming forward to greet Su Xiaoyu, and Su Xiaoyu also introduced Zhao Ruozhi to the visitor: "This person next to me is Katy, who has just come to the United States not long ago. ”

Zhao Ruozhi couldn't help but sigh that Su Xiaoyu may be a language genius, not only speaking Chinese very fluently, but also switching back and forth between English, French, Spanish and Italian effortlessly.

"Is she your girlfriend?" The blonde woman asked.

Su Xiaoyu nodded in affirmation.

"Congratulations."

"This is the first time that Mr. Medici has admitted that the woman next to him is his girlfriend, and it seems that good things are coming."

Someone behind him whispered in Chinese, and Zhao Ruo listened to all of them. She could only pretend not to hear, the corners of her mouth still pulling the most perfect arc, and greeted the comer.

After dealing with a group of people, she went back to the person who was talking, and where could she tell who was talking?

"Someone just said that you have never admitted to the public before that you have a girlfriend?" Zhao Ruozhi quietly asked Su Xiaoyu when there was no one around.

"Maybe......" Su Xiaoyu looked uncertain.

"Why don't you even know about yourself?"

"You know it's useless. I have a lot of girlfriends, but none of them have been brought to this occasion. ”

"What kind of occasion is this?"

Zhao Ruozhi regretted not knowing about this auction carefully before coming, and now he has a feeling of being cheated.

"The French-speaking man just now is actually the royal family of Luxembourg. Strictly speaking, we still have some kinship. Su Xiaoyu pointed to the blonde woman and said, "She is my cousin." ”

"Is this a family reunion?" Zhao Ruozhi was a little nervous.

"It can be regarded as a kind, but some of them are more distant, and some people are just to get acquainted in the circle." Seeing that Zhao Ruozhi's expression was a little stiff, Su Xiaoyu comforted: "Just take it as if you usually attend the event, you don't know them anyway." ”

"I just heard someone say ......"

"Say what?"

"Forget it, it's not a big deal." Zhao Ruozhi didn't know how to speak, but fortunately Su Xiaoyu didn't take this matter to heart.

After a few hours, Zhao Ruozhi felt that this kind of activity was not at all easier than commercial activities, and even more tiring. Someone is watching you all the time, as if your every move is being watched.

After watching the whole exhibition, Zhao Ruozhi didn't have the heart to look at the exhibits carefully, and even when Su Xiaoyu asked her if there was anything she wanted to photograph, she just casually pointed to a pile of wire in front of her that was twisted into a strange shape.

Su Xiaoyu couldn't help laughing.

"What are you laughing at?"

"What's the use of you shooting this pile of wires back?"

"Oh." Zhao Ruozhi looked around, trying to find out if there were any exhibits that looked more pleasing to the eye, and found that other exhibits were indeed not as "useless" as this pile of wires.

"I don't particularly like it, just this pile of wire, I guess no one else will want it except me, and I can buy it cheaper."

"Are you serious?" Su Xiaoyu couldn't cry or laugh, "We are doing public welfare, not selling for money." ”

Seeing that the people in the exhibition hall were almost gone, Zhao Ruozhi's smiling face that had been stretched for a day finally couldn't hold back any longer, and the whole person collapsed: "I'm too tired, you can decide." ”

Su Xiaoyu grabbed Zhao Ruozhi's waist, pulled her to his chest, and let Zhao Ruozhi lean on his body. He pressed his ear to Zhao Ruozhi and whispered: "Even if there is only one audience left in the audience, you have to finish the play." ”

Thus, in the eyes of outsiders, Monsieur Medici and his female companion moved intimately in the exhibition hall, with constant small movements.
