However, the three of them spent the whole afternoon browsing and didn't find any birthday gifts suitable for Xu Chuyuan! However, they did buy one for Xiao Tangbao.

Finally, Mo Yao suggested, "How about going to the auction? I remember there seems to be one tonight."

Shen Qingqing thought about it and said, "I think it's okay."

They looked at Xu Chuyuan and asked her what she thought. Xu Chuyuan had no objection.

So, the three of them set off immediately and went to the auction site that Mo Yao mentioned.

Unexpectedly, when they arrived, they met Huo Siyu and He Jingxing.

Huo Siyu raised his eyes and glanced at the three people, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Shen Qingqing immediately replied: "Mo Yao and I are preparing a birthday gift for Chu Bao, but we haven't seen anything satisfactory yet, so we plan to try our luck at the auction."

When Huo Siyu heard this, he couldn't help but glance at He Jingxing next to him, and then said meaningfully, "It seems that we have the same goal, so let's go together."

He Jingxing had asked him out tonight to pick out a gift for his sister.

However, Xu Chuyuan didn't know about this, and Huo Siyu had no intention of making it clear.

Several people walked in together. The waiter recognized their identities and invited them directly to the VIP box on the second floor, and then brought them the best tea and cakes.

Several people chatted while waiting for the auction to begin.

He Jingxing took the opportunity to show concern for Xu Chuyuan and asked, "You were injured a few days ago. Are you feeling better now? I happened to be on a business trip at the time and was not in Kyoto, so I couldn't come to see you."

Xu Chuyuan smiled and said, "Brother Jingxing, you are too polite. It is not a serious injury and I have recovered a long time ago. Thank you for your concern, Brother Jingxing."

He Jingxing nodded. "I'm glad you're okay. I was quite worried when I received the news..."

Huo Siyu noticed the conversation between the two and glanced at him.

He really felt that his friend was being too subtle.

You know, when this guy received the news, he almost ran back directly from abroad, but was stopped by him.

But when it comes to him, there is only this one sentence!

Who could have known that this guy was so reserved in pursuing someone?

Xu Chuyuan naturally didn't know that at this time, the auction had already begun. The host had already come on stage to speak and introduce the items to be auctioned today.

Anything that can appear here is naturally expensive and priceless.

Soon, one auction item after another was presented on the stage, and the guests who liked the items kept raising the bids.

Among them, Shen Qingqing auctioned a hairpin.

The hairpin is very exquisite and beautiful. It is made of white jade with a warm color. "I think Chu Bao can wear it when she wears a cheongsam. The cheongsam I saw you wearing last time was really beautiful!"

Xu Chuyuan couldn't help laughing when being praised by her best friend, but she also liked the hairpin very much.

Mo Yao bought a set of pearl jewelry worth several million.

She said: "I think this set I took is also very suitable for Chubao. It can be worn together with Qingqing's hairpin."

The two nodded proudly, thinking that each other had good taste.

Xu Chuyuan couldn't help laughing and said to them: "I feel like I can just lie down for the rest of my life and not have to do anything. With the gifts you two gave me, I can enjoy wealth and glory for the rest of my life."

Mo Yao nodded seriously, "There's nothing wrong with that, Chu Bao, marry into our family, and the Mo family will give you half of it!"

She took the opportunity to fight for her brother.

In the end, Xu Chuyuan just laughed and said, "Do your parents know that you are such a spendthrift?"

Mo Yao nodded, "I know, they have always known that I play racing and fly helicopters, which one doesn't cost money?"

Xu Chuyuan couldn't respond to this.

Huo Siyu and He Jingxing stood by, watching them play silently with gentle eyes.

While they weren't looking at them, Huo Siyu raised his hand and bumped into He Jingxing, asking him, "What are you taking pictures of?"

He Jingxing was quite troubled, as he had originally planned to bid for jewelry.

But when he saw that Chu Bao’s two best friends had taken photos of her, it would be meaningless if he gave her the same gift.

So he replied to Huo Siyu and said, "Let's take a look!"

As a result, after one auction, I never saw a suitable one again.

On the contrary, Huo Siyu took pictures of several antiques and artistic ornaments.

After the auction ended, several people left together.

But at this moment, He Jingxing suddenly received a call.

He was a little surprised, "It's my aunt's call."

When Xu Chuyuan and Huo Siyu heard that it was their mother who beat them, they were also a little surprised and couldn't help but look over.

He Jingxing answered the phone and hung up after a while.

He told the siblings, "Aunt has a batch of calligraphy and paintings that need to be appraised and restored. Please ask me to come over and take a look!"

"So this is ah."

As soon as Xu Chuyuan heard this, she understood. Since her mother was an archaeologist, she would naturally be involved in all kinds of work in this field, and treasure appraisal and restoration were no problem at all.

However, when it comes to calligraphy and painting, my grandfather is the real expert, and He Jingxing is my grandfather's favorite student, so it is completely understandable that he asks him for help.

"Then I'll go over and take a look too."

Xu Chuyuan was interested in this and naturally wanted to go and take a look.

Huo Siyu looked at the time and said, "I'll take you there."

He Jingxing didn't drive tonight, but came in Huo Siyu's car. When he heard that he offered to take them here, he naturally had no objection.

Mo Yao was a person who couldn't calm down, so he decided not to join in the fun. The same went for Shen Qingqing. She had some things to deal with at the company, so she asked Mo Yao to give her a ride.

Several people went their separate ways.

An hour later, He Jingxing and Xu Chuyuan were sent to Xu Qingqiu's studio.

When getting off the car, Huo Siyu didn't go in.

Xu Qingqiu was very surprised when he saw his precious daughter and He Jingxing coming in together. He couldn't help but ask, "Chubao? Why are you together?"

Her eyes moved between the two of them.

Just as He Jingxing was about to explain, he heard Xu Chuyuan and his mother say, "I went to the auction tonight with Qingqing and the others, and happened to meet my eldest brother and Brother Jingxing. I just came out and heard Brother Jingxing say that you asked him to come and help, so I came along."

Xu Qingqiu nodded suddenly, "So that's how it is."

Xu Chuyuan nodded, and then asked, "Mom, what's the situation with the calligraphy and painting?"

Xu Qingqiu told them, "We just received an urgent task.

Relevant units seized a batch of smuggled goods and accidentally discovered several calligraphy and paintings among them.

There are authentic and imitation works mixed together in those calligraphy and paintings, and some of them are damaged. The situation is quite urgent. Jingxing should be more experienced than me in authentic works, and the restoration of calligraphy and paintings is no problem, so I came to you."

After He Jingxing heard what she said, he replied, "No problem, leave it to me."

Xu Chuyuan also immediately said, "I can help too!"

Xu Qingqiu had no objection.

But I'm still worried that my daughter's body won't be able to handle it.

"You've been working so much lately, why don't you just watch?"

Now that Xu Chuyuan is here, how could he just stand by and watch without taking any action?

She shook her head and said to her mother: "I'm in good health and work is not tiring. It's okay..."

So Xu Qingqiu agreed, and the three of them began to divide the work and cooperate... This busy work took the entire night.
