The eldest lady became popular in the farming variety show

The organizers of the charity dinner invited a group of five chaebols to come over for a bit of ceremony, but unexpectedly they made the hot searches a blast.

Zhu Dali's new compound fertilizer topped the hot list, and discussions about the five people continued to explode on major social platforms. The live broadcast of the dinner quickly exceeded 10 million viewers.

Such terrifying popularity and traffic directly drowned out the splashes made by the opponents.

Jiang Hexi came to the charity auction with her skirt lifted.

After she sat down, she pulled the hem of her white velvet skirt and covered it directly on Yu Xiangwan's thighs.

"Wanwan, is it long enough? If not, I'll stretch it a little further for you."

Yu Xiangwan glanced at her, with a hint of threat in her voice:

"Take it away."

"That's not right."

Jiang Hexi was tough for once, "The air conditioning in the venue is so cold, and you only have a few pieces of cloth on you. If I don't protect you, who will?"

Yu Xiangwan lowered her eyes to look at the evening gown she was wearing. The transparent mesh was sewn with large and small pieces of fabric, which made her look sexy and enchanting. Not as unbearable as she said.

Before she could utter a word of rebuttal, she was startled by the cold air pouring down from above and was forced to shut up.

The charity dinner will auction thirteen classical calligraphy and paintings, and the funds raised will be used to improve the teaching environment for children in mountainous areas, such as renovating classrooms, expanding playgrounds and building new libraries.

Jiang Hexi poked Yan Jie's arm and said, "Prince Yan, which painting do you like?"

Yan Jie: “What?”

Jiang Hexi raised his number plate and protested, "I don't understand calligraphy and painting, but the work you chose must be the most valuable. I want to compete with you fairly."

"fair?"

Yan Jie saw through her trick at a glance, "How is it fair and just for you to find out my bottom price in advance?"

Jiang Hexi came up to him and whispered to him, "Prince Yan, my limit is two million, what's yours?"

Yan Jie: “Same.”

Jiang Hexi patted his arm and said, "We are all family. Let's set the upper limit of the bidding at two million. Whoever calls out this price first will have to give up the right to bid for this work to avoid hurting the relationship. How do you do that?"

"What if someone else's bid exceeds two million?"

"All abstentions."

The two reached a preliminary consensus on the matter.

The landscape painting that Yan Jie liked was created by the famous artist Dai Quan. Unfortunately, it was just the old man's practice work and its market price would not exceed one million at most. However, when put at such a charity auction dinner, the value of the painting would naturally rise.

The starting price was 600,000 yuan, and after rounds of bidding, the price quickly exceeded one million yuan.

"A million once, a million twice, a million--"

"1.2 million."

Jiang Hexi raised her number tag to bid. Amid the auctioneer's excited shouts, she looked warily at Yan Jie beside her.

Yan Jie did not raise his sign, but someone in the back row bid, "One million and four hundred thousand."

Jiang Hexi looked back and was about to raise the sign to increase the price, but her right hand was pressed tightly into her white velvet puffy skirt and she couldn't pull it out.

She looked at Yan Jie in disbelief, only to see him politely holding up his number plate and speaking coldly:

"Two million."

The auctioneer on the stage shouted in a very loud voice: "Two million once, two million twice, two million--"

Jiang Hexi picked up the number plate with her left hand. At this critical moment, Yan Jie whispered in her ear:

"give you."

She was deeply moved, and during the few seconds of distraction, the auctioneer made the final decision:

"Two million three times. Congratulations to male guest No. 36 for winning a painting of ancient landscape by our teacher Dai Quan."

By the time Jiang Hexi realized it was a scam, it was too late.

After the charity auction, there was a welcome dinner.

Jiang Hexi didn't take any pictures and was fooled by Yan Jie on the spot.

She was sitting in the lounge sulking, and when she saw Yan Jie push the door in, she couldn't help but yell at him:

"Prince Yan, are you and I from the same family?"

"Yes."

"Then why are you trying to trick me? We agreed on fair competition. Whoever bids up to two million will give up the bid. Why are you holding my hand?"

"Didn't I tell you everything?"

Yan Jie made way to the side, and a staff member came in holding an ancient landscape painting and stood in front of Jiang Hexi.

He said bluntly: "For you."

Several people who were sitting or standing in the lounge all came forward to watch.

Jiang Hexi's raging anger was completely dampened by his pouring of cold water.

She had never received any gifts from any man other than her father and brother, and she felt very panicked and uneasy for a moment.

"Are you really going to send me off?"

"It's true."

"Why are you sending me?"

"For the sake of our relationship, you made so many small moves before the auction," Yan Jie tried to make amends, "Since you really like it, I'll give it to you."

Jiang Hexi would not accept things from others for no reason, let alone such valuable calligraphy and paintings.

"I appreciate your kindness."

"But what I wanted was never the painting, but the confidence gained by spending money."

Seeing her sitting there in deep silence, Yan Jie asked without hesitation, "What do you mean?"

"Many celebrities from Shenzhen and Hong Kong came here, and most of them laughed at me."

Jiang Hexi twisted his fingers and said, "I attended the banquet this time with some selfish motives. Whether it was walking on the red carpet or bidding at the auction, I wanted them to look at me with new eyes."

Yu Xiangwan knew the inside story, and held her hand with great heartache, supporting her with all his strength.

"Sorry." Yan Jie had made things worse and looked at her with deep apology.

"it's okay."

Jiang Hexi looked at the ancient landscape painting in front of him and said, "Prince Yan, take it back. This thing is too valuable. I can't afford it."

"You can take the painting back, but I must help you get justice."

Yan Jie asked in pursuit, "Why are they laughing at you? Just because you lost a small goal?"

Jiang Hexi smiled disguisingly, trying to brush those things off.

How could Yu Xiangwan possibly agree?

"Because Ximei has been popular since she was young, all the second-generation boys who were on good terms with her liked her, and the girls huddled together for warmth and secretly excluded Ximei, causing her to be forced to study abroad as soon as she graduated from high school."

"When Ximei graduated from college and came back, she no longer had any status in the circle. And because of the investment failure, those people seized this as a handle and attacked her unscrupulously."

Jiang Hexi looked at Yu Xiangwan in disbelief.

Yu Xiangwan pulled her into his arms and said, "Aunt and Sister Song have told me. I won't let them bully you again."
