The contract of the rich and powerful

"Now this auction is a bit special. It was drawn by a child in the orphanage. The starting price is [-]. I wonder if anyone here is willing to take this painting?" The master of ceremonies introduced.

Everyone in the audience was quiet. The painting seemed simple and worthless, and it did not attract the attention of the people present.

Xi Duoduo stared blankly at the childlike and simple painting, and couldn't help but think of the past. When she recovered, Ruoxing beside her was already asking her in a low voice.

"Duoduo, what's the matter?" Seeing the dazed look, he couldn't help asking.

"Don't you think that painting is very special? Although there are so many gorgeous auction items, I really think that painting is very special." Xi Duoduo looked at the painting on the stage and blurted out.

She understood the feeling in the orphanage, but looking at the scene in the painting, it was bright and full of vitality, not lonely and desperate, which touched her heart.

"You like it, right?" Yan Ruoxing smiled lightly.

Xi Duoduo nodded with a shy expression.

At this time, someone in the silent audience suddenly raised the bidding card in his hand.

"Number 72, [-]!" The host announced while looking at the sign in the audience.

Everyone in the audience looked in the direction of No. 72. That person was Yan Ruoxing, the second young master of Yan's Company, but they didn't expect that he would plan to take this painting by a child.

"Ruoxing, do you want to take a picture?" Xi Duoduo also looked at him in surprise, even though she was sitting beside him, she still didn't react.

"Didn't you say you like it?" He said lightly, looking at her with eyes full of doting.

Xi Duoduo was taken aback for a moment, he planned to take a picture just because of her words, no matter what, it seemed that the feeling of being cared for gave Xi Duoduo a warm feeling.

"But the price is a bit expensive. Is it really okay for you to take pictures because of me?" She moved slightly closer to him, lowered her head and asked next to him.

"This time itself is a charity auction. The starting price of this piece is not expensive. I also want to give my heart, so you don't need to care about the price." To reassure her, he explained.

In the audience below the stage.

In the third row, Yan Ruoxing's gaze followed the crowd. Xi Duoduo was talking intimately next to Yan Ruoxing, smiling happily from time to time, and looking at the picture displayed on the stage from time to time, as if he was interested in that The secondary painting is very interesting.

His dark eyes became dim under the dimly lit stage.

Then when he turned to look at the painting on the stage, it was just a picture drawn by a child in an orphanage, but he suddenly remembered the scene of being rescued by that little girl when he was a child.

Dong Sihui was not too surprised when she saw Xi Duoduo and Yan Ruoxing. According to Yan Ruoxing's attitude of talking to her before, it was only natural for them to be together, but she was still a little worried whether Xi Duoduo's appearance would affect Ruo Ruoxing. arts.

"I didn't expect the two of them to attend together. Ruoxing and Dodo are really a good match, Ruowen, do you think so?" She turned her head and said while sitting.

Yan Ruowen's face was grim, and he was wearing a black suit, showing a more stern aura.

"Do you deserve it? I don't think so." He said in a cold tone.

Dong Sihui couldn't reply for a while, what he meant was that he didn't recognize the two of them, she had already moved out of his home, could it be that Xi Duoduo hadn't let go of him yet?

"Is there anyone else who wants to ask for a price?! If not—" the host said in a drawn-out voice on stage.

No one responded. It was a waste of their time that such an unsuspecting item still needed a quotation.

But in the next second.

No. 70 in the audience raised the sign in his hand.

However, this person is Yan Ruowen.

"Twenty thousand."

He raised the sign in his hand to quote, completely ignoring the eyes of the people around him.

Xi Duoduo only felt a little familiar when he heard the voice, but when he looked forward carefully, he realized that it was actually Yan Ruowen, as if his heart skipped a beat.

"Thirty thousand."

Yan Ruoxing also held up a sign to raise the price.

Xi Duoduo was stunned for a moment, and when she was about to speak, the host on the stage took the microphone and said loudly, "[-], is there more to [-]!"

Yan Ruowen also raised the sign without showing any weakness, and the two seemed to be competing invisibly.

After several rounds of bidding, the price of this painting has already reached [-], but it hasn't stopped yet.

"It seems that this auction is still appreciated by people, and I don't know whose hands this painting will fall into. It really makes people curious." The host continued to watch the excitement and said.

There were already voices of discussion in the auditorium below the stage. It was nothing more than saying that the two brothers of the Yan family at this charity dinner, if they wanted to show their attitude towards charity at this event, it would be too much. pass.

"Ruowen, when did you become interested in such paintings? This is just a picture drawn by a child." Dong Sihui couldn't help asking.

After all, Yan Ruoxing started the auction for this painting, but his bidding was tinged with a sense of competition, not to mention that this kind of competition was only on the surface, and it should be more because of Xi Duoduo.

"You also came out of the orphanage, don't you feel the same way?" Yan Ruowen asked suddenly.

It was as if the women around him didn't feel the same way as him.

Dong Sihui paused.

As for the place that disgusted her in the orphanage, she would never want to recall it in her life, let alone such a charity dinner, she was always perfunctory, but Yan Ruowen was so serious.

After a few seconds, she pretended to round up the field and said, "Hehe, in fact, the money sold for so many auctions is donated to welfare organizations, so this painting is also, in fact, there is no need to compete with Ruo Xing .”

Contention?

Yan Ruowen didn't think he was arguing.

"20." He raised the sign in his hand and said again.

This time, the price was [-] more than the previous quotation, instead of the starting bid of [-] million. It was obvious that his patience was almost exhausted.

Sitting behind her, Xi Duoduo saw that Yan Ruoxing was about to raise the sign again, and she grabbed his arm.

"Stop asking for a price," she said persuasively.

Although he didn't know what Yan Ruowen's intentions were, Xi Duoduo didn't want to watch Yan Ruoxing continue to bid.

"It's okay, it's just a painting. My brother is asking me for the price because of charity." Yan Ruoxing said with a smile.

At this moment, there is a feeling in his heart that he wants to compete.

If it is necessary to compare, he usually doesn't care, but in the current state, it seems that he is deliberately trying to compete with him for what he wants, and he can't do it if he makes concessions.
