My newlywed husband is infertile, but I’m pregnant
Chapter 18 My wife is prettier
The auction hall was bustling with activity.
The air is filled with the calming sandalwood, and the surrounding walls are made into hollow ancient shelves, on which are placed old objects such as ceramics, calligraphy and paintings, and lush green potted plants.
The noisy crowd fell silent for two seconds when Huo Xingzhou and Qiao Xi came in.
This is the first time Huo Xingzhou has appeared in public since his accident.
The eyes that fell on Huo Xingzhou's legs were contemptuous, disdainful, regretful, and vicious.
They all got the news that the favored man of heaven had become a cripple and was infertile. The inheritance rights of the Huo family are basically determined and fall into the hands of the big house.
Huo Xingzhou is a useless abandoned son!
"He is lame on three legs. What's the use of marrying a beautiful wife? It will make him a widow."
"It's just a pretty village girl. What's the pity? Is it possible that you still want to be his groom?"
"Haha, the Huo family still has to rely on Huo Beiting!"
Those unpleasant words made Huo Sijiao blush. She clenched her fists and wished for a fight. Qiao Xi pursed her lips tightly.
Qiao Xi stretched out her white hands and covered Huo Xingzhou's ears.
"No need."
Huo Xingzhou took her hand away and whispered, "I'm not that fragile yet."
Instead, he should remember the faces of those people. Wait until Qiao Xi gives him a chance to soar into the sky and see how flattering and ingratiating these people are.
"But I care."
Qiao Xi frowned and said, "I don't like them talking about you like that. Mr. Huo is obviously a very powerful person."
Huo Xingzhou looked seriously at her almond-shaped eyes that were particularly vivid due to anger. The anger I had felt in the past two days disappeared.
He thought that he was still willing to open a clinic for Qiao Xi.
"Second Young Master Huo, please come this way." The staff of the auction house guided him to a seat in the corner of the first row. Snacks and tea were placed on the small square table, with armchairs beside it.
Sitting on the right are the proud Huo Beiting and Su Weiwei, while Zhao Yuzhen and Su Heng are sitting very far back.
"Cousin, you have to thank me." Huo Beiting smiled coldly, "If it weren't for my sake, you wouldn't be able to sit in the first row."
Auction houses are all about power and status.
"Thank you very much, cousin." Huo Xingzhou said calmly with cold eyes.
Huo Beiting hated his behavior the most: "You're welcome, after all, I have to take care of trash."
The clock turned to two o'clock and the lights in the room dimmed.
The monthly auction started and the venue became quiet.
The gold medal auctioneer held a microphone and a small golden hammer, and his voice spread throughout the venue: "Welcome all distinguished guests to participate in the monthly auction of Guardian Auction House. This auction is all open auction."
"In this auction, the seller stated the principle of non-fidelity, delivery on the spot, and the purchase. The auction process will be announced below..."
The principle of non-fidelity means that the seller does not guarantee the authenticity of the item, and the buyer will bear the consequences. But generally people who want to buy have done their research and there will be basically no problems.
There has never been a counterfeit at Guardian Auction House, and no one cares about the lack of authenticity. Anyway, every auction must be announced. Only Huo Xingzhou in the corner had dark eyes flashing and his hands folded.
Qiao Xi on one side sat upright and listened carefully.
She had never participated in an auction before and found it very new. Someone tapped her shoulder, and a furry head came over, "Little fairy."
"it's me."
As soon as she turned her head, she saw Sun Weimeng's enlarged face, "Master Sun." It turned out that Sun Weimeng was sitting in the row behind her.
"Hey, what a coincidence."
Sun Weimeng lowered his voice and said: "I have been taking the prescription you gave me. I feel it is of no use, so just use it as self-comfort."
"You take it for three months first." Qiao Xi imitated his example and whispered.
"Okay, actually I have given up treatment. When my mother gets older, she plans to have a second child." After so many years, he was tired.
How could you give up?
"Then you...you wait until Mr. Huo's legs heal." Qiao Xi couldn't explain clearly.
Mr. Sun nodded: "You want to introduce me to Dr. Zhuo, right? He said he would concentrate on treating Huo Xingzhou's legs and not treat others."
Qiao Xi was speechless and reluctantly nodded.
Huo Xingzhou turned around and saw them whispering. He stretched out his hand and pushed Sun Weimeng's head away, "Young Master Sun, please keep your distance from married women."
"Tsk, stingy."
Sun Weimeng muttered, "You can't do it, and neither can I. What distance do two eunuchs need to keep?"
Qiao Xi subconsciously looked at Huo Xingzhou's face and said, "Young Master Sun, he is... different from you."
"I understand your suffering."
Mr. Sun sighed, poor Qiao Xi. In front of outsiders, you have to protect your husband's face.
Seeing his grimace, Huo Sijiao couldn't help laughing.
Mr. Sun glared at her.
"Sister-in-law, look at the auction of floating flower bracelets!" Huo Sijiao tugged at Qiao Xi's clothes, "This glass jade bracelet with floating flowers is from the famous Duan Jiayu."
This bracelet is full of water, and the green inside looks like a kingfish swimming in the water. The more floating flowers, the more expensive the price. There are three flowers in this bracelet for auction.
The starting bid is five hundred thousand.
"What does this country bumpkin know about Duan Jiayu?" Su Weiwei at the next table said disdainfully, "She has never even seen jade. Can she tell the difference between glass and jade?"
"Beiting, I want it."
Su Weiwei acted coquettishly.
Huo Beiting kissed her and said, "Buy it for you."
He held up the sign and said, "One million."
"Young Master Huo is so generous!"
"Spend a lot of money for beauty, Su Weiwei is so lucky!"
Su Weiwei smiled proudly at Qiao Xi: "Would your husband spend so much money on you? I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it."
Qiao Xi licked her dry lips with a strange expression. Huo Xingzhou circled her wrist, his eyebrows were dark, and there was a faint smile under his thin lips.
"Once in a million!"
"Twice a million!"
"One million times, the deal is done! Congratulations to the young master of the Huo family for winning the top-notch jade bracelet with fluttering flowers!" the auctioneer made the final decision.
The staff quickly delivered the bracelet, and Huo Beiting paid with his card. Su Weiwei couldn't wait to put on the bracelet to show off, "Qiao Xi, let me show you what the best jadeite is."
She stretched out her white arms and moved closer.
Huo Xingzhou rolled up Qiao Xi's sleeves, revealing a top-quality floating flower bracelet on her thin white arm. The quality was better and the floating flowers were thicker.
He looked at Huo Beiting and Su Weiwei and said, "What a coincidence, we also have a jade floating flower bracelet."
"This is the real top-quality floating flower bracelet!"
"I didn't expect that the village girl actually kept it secret! Six floating flowers are very rare nowadays. They are priceless but not marketable. At least five million starts!"
Others craned their necks to watch the fun, and the comments in their mouths made Qiao Xi frightened. What is the concept of five million!
It was given to her by Du Juan on the first day she got married.
Huo Xingzhou laughed, his voice low and sweet: "With comparison, my wife's bracelet looks better, and her hands look better too."
Su Weiwei and Huo Beiting's faces turned red and white, looking extremely ugly.
"One, two...six!" Huo Sijiao exclaimed, "There are six floating flowers. My sister-in-law is so low-key. It's not like someone is holding a low-grade product and squeaking it. I don't know who is not." Seen the world.”
"you……"
Su Weiwei was extremely humiliated, being compared to a country girl.
Young Master Sun "tsk-tsk" behind his back, adding fuel to the fire: "Su Weiwei, you've dropped the price! Young Master Huo, the layout is too small!"
