My newlywed husband is infertile, but I’m pregnant
Chapter 19 I’ll give you a big mouth
Huo Beiting's eyes were gloomy and his tone was cold: "Is a gadget worthy of your pride? I'm here today to take pictures of grandpa's birthday present."
Su Weiwei retracted her hand and said helpfully: "Our goal today is "Picture of Pines and Cranes Prolonging Life." The starting price is [-] million. Do you have money for the second house?"
"awesome!"
Mr. Sun applauded insincerely, and he raised his voice and said, "Young Master Huo is rich and powerful. I hope I can see the "Picture of Pines and Cranes Prolonging Life" at the old man's birthday party."
"Sun Weimeng, whose friend are you?" Huo Beiting looked cold.
Mr. Sun stuck out his tongue.
"Cousin." Huo Xingzhou said in a slight voice, "I also want to give this painting to grandpa. It seems that we have a good understanding."
"Then let's all rely on our abilities." Huo Beiting was bound to win.
"Okay."
Huo Xingzhou loosened the buttons of his shirt with one hand, revealing his delicate collarbone. He lowered his eyes and handed the auction sign in his hand to Qiao Xi, "You come and hold the sign for me."
"Me? I can't."
Qiao Xi panicked a little, her cheeks showing a faint cherry pink color.
"Every time it was one million more than the highest price, I kept adding without saying stop." He was wearing a light gray shirt, a thin layer that attracted attention, and he was leaning lazily on the armchair.
As his slender white index finger traced down her back, Qiao Xi felt a tingling sensation.
"Qiao Xi, your body is too stiff, relax. This is just a small scene."
"Okay." Her throat was dry, "Mr. Huo, do we have so much money?"
He said that his mother-in-law's dowry was trapped in the stock market, and his project was robbed again.
He tapped her lower back and said, "Don't worry, your husband... still has savings."
Qiao Xi felt relieved a little.
On the stage.
The gold medal auctioneer unveiled the red cloth and said in an excited voice: "This is the famous "Songs and Cranes Prolonging the Year" from the Tang Dynasty. It is in excellent condition. Five senior cultural relics appraisers have already issued appraisal certificates."
"The starting price is [-] million, and we still adhere to the principle of no-fidelity."
There was a crash and thunder on the ground!
Good stuff, everyone wants it! But not many people buy a painting at a high price.
Especially since the starting price is eight figures.
"Fifteen million!"
"Seventeen million!"
"Twenty million!"
The price rose all the way to [-] million, and there were very few bidders, only Huo Beiting and Huo Xingzhou were left.
Qiao Xi took a deep breath, held up a sign and called out the price: "Twenty-one million."
"Twenty-two million." Huo Beiting smiled contemptuously, unwilling to be outdone.
"Twenty-three million," she continued.
"Twenty-five million!" Huo Beiting mocked under his gold-rimmed glasses, "My filial piety towards grandpa is incomparable to yours."
Qiao Xi's chest heaved and her heart trembled as she looked at Huo Xingzhou: "Mr. Huo... do you want more?"
Huo Xingzhou's big hand covered hers, skin touching, "Qiao Xi, you did a good job."
raise a sign.
"Thirty million." The man's voice was hoarse and quiet.
"Thirty million once! Thirty million twice!"
Qiao Xi's heart was pounding and her adrenaline was soaring. He actually added five million in one go.
"Thirty-five million!"
Huo Beiting said sarcastically: "Huo Xingzhou can't afford to pay after the filming. It will bring shame on the Huo family."
"Cousin, I still can't compare to you in terms of filial piety." Huo Xingzhou threw the sign aside, "I gave up the shot."
Huo Beiting is satisfied!
"If you don't have money, you don't have money. Why do you pretend to be fat?"
"Thirty-five million three times!" The golden hammer struck, "Congratulations again, Young Master Huo, for winning the top prize!"
Huo Beiting stood up and said hypocritically: "It's all because of your love and giving me the good things. Otherwise, I really can't win the auction. Everyone has to come to the groundbreaking ceremony. I will entertain them well!"
"As expected of the eldest son of the Huo family, he is so heroic."
"It's so embarrassing! I didn't expect that I can't even afford [-] million yuan for the second bedroom. It seems that there is really no hope."
Qiao Xi listened to the gossip and worriedly squeezed Huo Xingzhou's hand, "Mr. Huo... don't be sad. The birthday gift is from the heart."
"I'm fine." He was even in a good mood. Huo Beiting was about to cry later.
He glanced down at his phone and sent the message.
"Grandpa just favors the big house! Why is he so proud? All this money was given by grandpa, right?" Huo Sijiao was so angry that her eyes were red, "I'm going to the bathroom!"
"Then...I'll go see Jiaojiao."
Qiao Xi was worried and followed him.
However, there are many exits in the half-lit corridor of the auction house.
Qiao Xi didn't see Huo Sijiao for a while, and struggled to find the sign for the bathroom.
"It's a pity."
Behind her, Zhao Yuzhen ran out panting and called her to stop.
"What's the matter?"
Qiao Xi looked at Zhao Yuzhen's face with mixed emotions.
Zhao Yuzhen said hesitantly: "I think the second young master of the Huo family is very kind to you. I will give you such an expensive bracelet. This makes me feel relieved."
"If you have anything to say, just say it. We don't talk about the deep love between mother and daughter." Her eyes were cold and emotionless.
Zhao Yuzhen was angry and said patiently: "You grew up in the country and have never used good things. Five million dollars is a waste of money for you. If your sister wants to be strong, she wants the best in everything. She has nothing to lose today." very unhappy."
"so what?"
"Xixi, can you and Weiwei exchange their bracelets? I'll give you the three-flowered one. She'll be happy, and it'll be good for you too. When she marries Huo Beiting, I'll take care of you."
Qiao Xi couldn't believe it.
I didn't expect that she could be so shameless.
"Do you believe this nonsense?" Her eyes filled with mist, "Do you have a conscience? Do you care about me at all?"
"I gave birth to you, so a bracelet is nothing." She said hard-heartedly, "Can't you think about me? I am a stepmother and my life is difficult."
"I see you're enjoying it."
Qiao Xi leaned against the wall, as cold as an ice cellar.
"Are you going to give it?" Zhao Yuzhen pressed.
"I'll give you a big mouth, old witch!"
Huo Sijiao appeared out of nowhere and stopped in front of Qiao Xi, "You treat your stepdaughter as a treasure, but you are harsh on your biological daughter. Do you really think Su Weiwei, that white-eyed wolf, will provide for you in your old age?"
"Every tofu has a brain, why don't you?"
"You...why are you swearing!"
Zhao Yuzhen said angrily.
"I'm not scolding you! I'm scolding that wolf-hearted beast!"
"Jiaojiao." Qiao Xi grabbed her hand, "Stop talking nonsense to her, let's go in first."
"Sister-in-law, I really feel for you."
Qiao Xi smiled sadly and said as she walked around Zhao Yuzhen: "I heard that you want to have a son? You will regret...treating me like this in the future."
Zhao Yuzhen stood there blankly, not understanding what she meant. But my heart suddenly felt empty, as if I had lost something.
Dark corner.
An elegant and calm middle-aged man took in the scene and said to the people around him: "Look, does that little girl look familiar?"
"Some angles look like Miss Cousin. But if you look closely, they don't look alike. I can only say that they are two or three points similar."
The middle-aged man shook his head and said with a smile: "No, more like Huimin when he was young."
Especially the almond-shaped eyes that appear slightly longer after being angry are exactly the same.
“The world is so big and there are so many similar people.”
"Right."
