Chapter 589: Meet the Elders

It's just that it's not the same as the luxurious and grand auction in his imagination, waiting for the car to stop at the door of the auction and look at the slightly quaint old mansion, Murong Qiao raised his eyebrows.

Murong Chen got out of the car first, and then picked up Murong Qiao.

"The Shen family has been in the army for generations, so they don't like extravagance and waste even more." Murong Chen whispered to Murong Qiao.

My ancestors have been soldiers for generations, and now the old man Shen, who is holding the auction, has to return to the rear because he is too old to support his body, but his position cannot be underestimated, which makes people dare not despise him.

After Murong Chen finished speaking, he walked in with Murong Qiao, and happened to see the protagonist he just said.

Old man Shen, who has been a soldier all his life, has a tough body, and even standing there gives people a feeling of not being angry and arrogant, standing there in good spirits, even if his temples are slightly white, it does not affect the majestic momentum around him.

Old Man Shen was standing at the door talking to another old man, and the two seemed to be very close friends and seemed to be very good friends.

It's just that this conversation ended after Old Man Shen looked over and realized Murong Chen's arrival.

Murong Qiao felt that when that gaze swept over, it seemed like there was an extra layer of pressure on her body, and even made her subconsciously straighten her back.

Then I saw that Old Man Shen didn't know what to say to that person, and then walked towards them, with a gentle and beautiful woman by his side.

"I didn't expect you to come this time." Old Man Shen spoke to Murong Chen first.

The Shen family has existed for a long time, even if it can't be compared with the wealth of the Murong family or the Huo family, but it is quite powerful on the military side, and it can't help but be daunting.

Murong Chen smiled, "I heard that you personally organized this auction, and I also want to come and visit." ”

"Hmm." Old Man Shen's rather serious face showed a little smile.

Probably the four words of not being angry and self-righteous were engraved into his bones, so that Murong Qiao also felt nervous when he looked at such an old man Shen.

She stood beside Murong Chen in an orderly manner, and in the next second, she felt that Old Man Shen's gaze shifted from Murong Chen's body to her.

"This is the daughter that the Murong family has recovered? What a beautiful child. Old Man Shen sighed.

He knew Murong Qiao's grandfather, and the relationship was quite good, so that when he looked at Murong Qiao, he really saw a little trace of her grandfather from this bright and soft face.

Murong Qiao smiled and said hello obediently, "Hello." ”

She let out a somewhat restrained voice, probably because the tension in her heart was transmitted to her body, so that the hand holding Murong Chen's arm increased her strength a little.

"Very good." Old Man Shen's smile deepened at the end of his eyes.

It is rare to see such a serious elder, and Murong Qiao was still thinking about what topic to talk about in his heart, when he saw the woman next to Old Man Shen speak up.

"Miss Murong is really good-looking." Su Rong sighed, "I am Su Rong, the wife of Shen Guo, hello." ”

Shen Guo is the son of Old Man Shen, but he is still busy in the army, so he is absent from this auction.

So many matters of the auction were handed over to Su Rong to take care of, although she looked gentle, Su Rong herself was not really gentle, influenced by the Shen family's military style, and she was also a strong woman.

"Hello Mrs. Shen." Murong Qiao replied.

Su Rong smiled, "You look as old as my daughter, it's a pity that she is not here at this time, otherwise you might be able to talk together, after all, girls always have a lot of common topics." ”

Su Rong looked like he wanted to say something more, but there were new guests at the door, and many acquaintances were friends of Old Man Shen, so it was not good to delay for too long, so he had to say sorry.

After watching Old Man Shen and Su Rong walk away, Murong Qiao told his eldest brother Murong Chen the curious question that had just risen in his heart.

"Mrs. Shen's daughter is the same age as me?" She looked up at her brother.

Murong Qiao didn't know that the Shen family had a daughter at all, and it was one thing for him not to pay attention to it, on the other hand, he had been to Jiang Weiyang's party a long time ago, and the young people in the circle had a vague impression of themselves, but they had never heard of the surname Shen.

"Her name is Shen Xi, and it is said that she was not in good health when she was born, she is a weak and sickly person, and she also suffers from asthma, so she hardly goes out to socialize." Murong Chen explained.

In a family environment like the Shen family, Shen Xi's frailty and illness are inevitably a little abrupt, but fortunately, both Shen Guo and Su Rong like this daughter very much, and they are not dissatisfied.

He was able to know these news, and he also learned little by little from his communication with the Shen family since he was a child.

Murong Qiao nodded, taking this information to heart, and then his eyes swept over the surrounding crowd, trying to find Huo Yichen's figure.

There is still some time before the auction starts, and the guests present here are all gathered in twos and threes, and the atmosphere seems to be talking and laughing, and the atmosphere is harmonious.

Huo Yichen's figure didn't see it, but after Old Man Shen left, Murong Qiao saw several people walking towards them.

"President Murong hasn't seen you for a long time, this is Miss Murong, right? It's really talented. As soon as he opened his mouth, he praised him.

Murong Chen's smile in greeting this time became a little more commercial, "Mr. Xu." ”

Seeing that it was someone he didn't know who came to greet him, and hearing the greetings between the two, Murong Qiao immediately understood that this was the kind of person who came to talk to his eldest brother about business.

She had no intention of participating in these, so she talked to her eldest brother and planned to go shopping alone, waiting for Huo Yichen to come by the way.

"Then you go around by yourself, and call me if you have something." Murong Chen explained.

There were a lot of people who came to participate in the auction this time, plus Murong Chen came in person on the side of the Murong family, there must be many people coming to talk about business later, and Murong Chen naturally didn't want his sister to wait by his side.

After Murong Qiao responded, she chose a random direction and walked over, she took a glimpse when she came just now, and the side door and the small garden outside figured it out, it was a clean place.

But Murong Qiao walked over and found that there were also many people in the garden.

Among them, most of them were young people sitting at the round table in the garden, and when Murong Qiao looked over, he also saw Jiang Weiyang who seemed to be there.

After looking around, Murong Qiao finally found a remote corner and sat down.

"Hello, can I sit here?" She asked the only girl at the table.

The other party didn't seem to expect her to come back, and after hearing the question, he was stunned for a while before nodding sluggishly.

She nervously added, "Dang, of course." ”

"I mean...... I'm glad you'll be sitting next to me. A light smile appeared on her face, and her eyes bent to a thin light.

Her voice was a little light, to the point that it took a person's attention to hear clearly, which was really a little too light.

Murong Qiao sat down slowly with the hem of the dress, and then couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise when he heard the other party say this.

The distance between the two was shortened because Murong Qiao sat down, and it was also like this, which made Murong Qiao faintly smell a smell of traditional Chinese medicine, which was not a good smell.

Then she looked around and realized that it was best for four or five people to sit together, but she was the only one at this table.

Seeing that Murong Qiao noticed that he was not very popular, the other party showed a wry smile.
