"Smack. Catherine took out a small box from her pocket and slapped it on the table, staring at the box directly, her expression changed rapidly, her heart was full of struggles and conflicts, but she still clenched her fists and whispered: "We still have money." ”

"Sister, are you crazy?" Lina covered her mouth and exclaimed, "This is ...... What do you want to do?"

"Now make an offer first, and when the picture is taken, go to John and return the assignment immediately. Catherine gritted her teeth and said, "So that there will be no delay on both sides, so let's call the price." ”

Vivien seemed to have seen Catherine's bleeding heart, her palms dangling from the mark-up button, her lips trembling but she didn't have the courage to press it anyway.

"Don't hesitate, this is your most urgent wish, once you miss it, it is impossible to redeem it. Catherine bit her lower lip tightly, squeezed out such a sentence, and took the initiative to reach out and press the button: "If you don't have the courage, I'll help you press it." ”

"Enough. Vivien suddenly shouted hoarsely, loud enough to be heard in the room, and at the same time threw herself in front of the table, blocking Catherine's pressed palm, and hugging Catherine. Vivien put her arms around Catherine's waist tightly, buried her face in Catherine's chest, and said in a muffled voice, "Enough, big sister, it's really enough." ”

"But you ......," Catherine said with difficulty, "I can't hesitate any longer, Vivien, and while I don't regret it now, hurry up and take a picture, maybe I'll be ...... a few minutes later."

"Good. Vivien looked up, gave Catherine a big smile, and turned back to a button on the table and slapped it hard, "It's all over now." ”

"Box Sixteen, Box Sixteen gave up. At the venue, the host of the auction shouted in surprise: "The pause is not over yet, the guests of Box 16 have already made their decision, and they have abandoned this bid." Now it depends on the decision of the guests in box seven, if the guests in box seven also decide to give up, then the ultimate owner of this diary is likely to belong to the guests of box two, then. Will Box Seven decide to give up, or will it raise money to follow suit? ”

"What are you doing? Did you press the wrong button?" Catherine and Lina both looked incredulous, but Pannis seemed to think of something, silently hiding and laughing.

"Mr. Pannis, what are you laughing at?" Freya leaned over to Pannis. He asked in a very low voice, "What do you think of?"

"I'm laughing at three stupid people. It was rare that Pannis did not run away immediately, but glanced back at Freya and said in a calm tone, "It's because they're such stupid people that it's hard to leave them, isn't it?"

Freya nodded. smiled knowingly: "That's it, Lina has built a spiritual barrier because of the past, Vivian only lives in her own world all the year round, but they can open their hearts to each other without reservation, and even regard each other as more important than themselves, I can't help but say, this is a miracle." ”

"As you can see, eldest sister. After giving up, Vivien seemed to let go of her heavy burden, and said with a relaxed face: "There is no mistake. I just pressed give up, enough is enough, no need to continue. ”

"But you're ......" Catherine looked into Vivien's smiling eyes and was suddenly speechless.

"If I really continue filming, I'm afraid I won't have the face to stay with you anymore. Vivien reached out and hugged Catherine, Lina, Freya, and kicked Pannis by the way: "I know, everyone doesn't value this money, everyone values feelings. But because of that, can I squander those feelings?"

"Actually, everyone's money is useful, eldest sister, your debts are needless to say, as a knight. You don't even have a real riding beast, I've seen you reluctant to leave near the beast pen outside the city, of course, I also know that even if I ask you to buy it, you won't buy it, after all, a good riding beast often costs tens of thousands of gold coins, and just food costs thousands a month. You can't be reluctant, even if you have money now, so I can borrow the money you are reluctant to spend and spend it?"

"Lina, I've negotiated with you and the collectors of antique books a few times, and I don't know how much they paid for a book, you are so desperate to get those books back, you want to get back your friends, those are fragile papers, and every day there is hope that I will completely lose a friend, so that I can really borrow the money, and then I don't know when I will be able to pay it off?"

"And Freya, you never went out with money before. Vivien's gaze turned to Freya again, and Freya's round body moved back unnaturally: "What the hell is going on with this money?"

"Uh, nothing. Freya's chubby face turned red, and she moved her body to press the chair with a clatter: "My father gave it to me, it's really useless." ”

"Do I seem gullible?" asked Vivien, "You never lie." ”

"My father gave it to me. Freya said: "Father's love is great, and he is willing to pay whatever he wants in order for his daughter to have a happy future." Such a father's love is as thick as a mountain, and ......"

"Say yes. Vivien stared straight at Freya, making her voice smaller and quieter, "Why don't you continue?"

"Well, we made a pact that I would live independently outside for three years from this time I left home. Freya whispered, "As long as I can get back 100,000 gold coins to show him in three years, it means that I can support myself well, and he will no longer interfere in any of my affairs at that time." ”

"In other words, including the time you spent studying with the teacher, these 50,000 gold coins are all your property, and you have to rely on these 50,000 gold coins for your food and life?" Vivian said with a wry smile: "If I really use your money to take pictures, then what are you eating these days?"

"I said I was going to lose weight. Freya whispered, "I still have a few hundred gold coins of my own property, and it will be fine in a few months." When I'm done studying, I'm going to go back to our home and rejoin the team, so that it can be solved. ”

"No problem?" Vivien pouted, "When we used to live together, when did you spend less than a thousand gold coins in any month?"

"Not so much, right?" Freya looked at Catherine and Lina as if asking for help, but the two girls nodded at the same time, indicating that there were indeed so many: "Well, even if there are so many, I can learn to save." ”

"Forget it. Vivien shook her hand and ignored her, and finally looked at Pannis, "And you, Pannis." I'm afraid your money is ...... Well, you make the exception. ”

"Hey, hey. Pannis said angrily, "Why am I exceptional?" ”

"Because your money is never spent on serious things. Vivien sneered, "It's good for you that I'm borrowing it." ”

"Nonsense, I'm doing serious things. Pannis retorted with a straight face: "Food, wine, and beauty, which is not serious?"

"Is that so?" Catherine squinted at Pannis, smiling, "So that's the right thing to do." In other words, what we're doing isn't serious?"

"I was wrong. Pannis immediately bowed his head and confessed: "Please forgive me one more time." ”

"Anyway, that's how it goes. Vivien stretched out easily, "To hell with the diary, I won't be so selfish and want to deprive you of your desires for my own desires." Then I wouldn't be Vivien. Let's go, let's go home. ”

"I can't leave yet. Pannis shrugged and mouthed at the box Mennunu.

"Dangdang. There was a knock on the door of the box: "Excuse me, are a few members of Nelly's adventure group in this box?"

"Well, it's John. Catherine was stunned for a moment, and said helplessly: "He is still really anxious, and he chased after the auction before it ended." ”

"Then settle the task by the way. Pannis casually opened the box door.

John Meller, who had a beautiful beard, peeked in through the door and was immediately startled by the number of people in the room. When he heard a report from his subordinates that Catherine and others had come to the auction, he came without asking too much, but he didn't expect that there were nine people in the house.

"I'm sorry. Disturbed everyone's interest. John Merair bowed and bowed, unabashedly expressing his feelings: "I heard that you have returned, and I was a little impatient, so I took the initiative to come to the door." If any inconvenience has been caused to everyone, I hope you can forgive me. ”

"Alright, well, you're already on fire. Catherine teased, "The things have been brought back to you as they are, so you can rest assured." ”

"Really?" John's eyes lit up, he subconsciously rubbed his hands, and asked cautiously, "Can you ...... Hehe, can you let me take a look. ”

"Naw. That's it. Catherine picked up the small box from the table and opened it, and the crimson light immediately came through, filling the entire box.

"Well, that's right. That's right, that's it. The nervousness and fear in John's heart disappeared in an instant, and the strength in his body seemed to disappear, and he slumped in his chair: "Great, great, thank you so much." You've saved the reputation of Merrell and Jones, you've saved two families, and I don't know what to say. ”

"Then don't say anything. Catherine closed the box again: "Just pay according to the agreement of the commission." ”

"And how much did you spend to buy this?" John's heart lifted again: "It's not particularly expensive, is it?"

"Walked away. Pannis suddenly interrupted John's words, and pulled the people in the box outside: "Let them talk, let's go out first, if you are too late, you should not be able to hire a carriage." ”

"You don't have to run out like this. Everyone was pulled out of the box by Pannis, who closed the door to the box. Lina said with some dissatisfaction: "In this case, the eldest sister ...... over there"

"Leave it to her. Pannis whispered, "It's up to her to make her own choices." ”

"Okay, okay. Lina muttered a few times, but stopped insisting.

Just a few minutes later, the door of the box opened again, and Catherine walked out with her usual face and waved, "Let's go, go home." ”

"You've made your choice?" asked Pannis, "which option did you choose?"

"Guess. Catherine blinked mysteriously.

"Tell us if you guessed right?" asked Pannis.

"I won't tell you if I guess right. Catherine smiled slyly: "It's an eternal secret. ”

"Hush. (To be continued.) )
