After the divorce, I became a rich girl

Chapter 438 The dust has settled

For Qin Wen, this competition was thrilling and exciting, bringing her unprecedented novelty and excitement. Every time she raised her placard, it was like testing the edge of an unknown cliff, dancing on a tightrope, and her heartbeat kept accelerating as the price climbed.

Li Jiawei got what she wanted and no longer had the interest to watch here. She gently reached out her hand, took Xiao Yi's arm, tilted her head slightly, and said softly: "Let's go, I don't want to watch anymore." There was a hint of laziness in her voice after satisfaction. Just like that, the two of them quietly left the venue early while everyone was concentrating on the auction.

As soon as she walked out of the venue, Li Jiawei raised her head, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath. The cold winter air instantly filled her chest. She tried to use this coolness to dispel the complex emotions in her heart that were a mixture of excitement, tension, and fatigue.

Xiao Yi had been paying attention to her every move. Seeing her like this, he gently held her hand, and the warmth of his palm passed to her. He asked softly, "Why don't you wait until all the bidding is over before leaving?"

Li Jiawei raised her head slightly, her eyes met Xiao Yi's concerned gaze. She subconsciously held Xiao Yi's arm tightly, leaned towards him, and said in a low voice with some entanglement: "I don't know how to face Xuan Bao. When I think about meeting her later, I feel flustered. I really don't want to embarrass each other."

When Xiao Yi heard this, he understood clearly and could completely empathize with Li Jiawei's complicated feelings at the moment.

His big hand gently covered the back of Li Jiawei's hand, again and again, patting it gently and rhythmically, as if he wanted to pass all the comfort and endless strength in his heart to her through this subtle movement.

Finally, he leaned closer and suggested softly with a doting tone: "How about we go relax? Find a quiet place and take it easy."

Li Jiawei smiled and looked at Xiao Yi with curiosity in her eyes. She asked, "So how are you going to help me relax?"

Xiao Yi raised his lips, a hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes, and he suggested enthusiastically: "How about going to the movies?"

Li Jiawei tilted her head, thought for a moment, a teasing look appeared on her face, and she said with a mischievous smile: "You don't have any new movies released recently?"

Xiao Yi smiled helplessly and said, "There's a new science fiction movie that's been released recently, and it's received rave reviews online. The special effects and plot are said to be amazing. Shall we go and join in the fun?"

When Li Jiawei heard Xiao Yi say this, she understood what he meant. It seemed that boys always had a special preference for science fiction themes.

She smiled and nodded readily: "Okay! Let's see this!"

The figures of Li Jiawei and Xiao Yi leaving side by side were like a dazzling light, piercing straight into Li Xuanbao's eyes.

Her gaze seemed to be nailed to it and she couldn't move it away. She watched the two people walking further and further away, and every step seemed to be stepping on her heart.

At this moment, a bitter feeling welled up in Li Xuanbao's heart, and she realized clearly that she had been completely defeated and Li Jiawei was the winner in this contest.

She subconsciously clenched the number plate in her hand, her knuckles turned white from the force, and her nails almost dug into her palms.

I thought I could still have the upper hand in this competition, but I didn't expect that I would be defeated miserably in their first confrontation.

The so-called pride and sense of superiority that she once had in front of Li Jiawei are now like bubbles that have been popped. With a "pop", they shattered into pieces. Looking back, there is only endless ridiculousness and absurdity left.

Cheng Weilin sat next to Li Xuanbao, and the subtle fluctuations of her emotions could not escape his eyes.

From the way Li Xuanbao suddenly clenched her number plate and her face suddenly darkened, Cheng Weilin knew that she must be filled with frustration at the moment.

He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could the information he revealed to Liang Yusen be the key factor leading to Li Xuanbao's failure?

As soon as the thought came to his mind, Cheng Weilin sneered in his heart. Even if it was true, he would not feel the slightest bit of guilt.

After struggling in this world where the strong prey on the weak, he has long understood a truth: there are only eternal interests, but no unchanging friends.

In the face of interests, so-called friendship is nothing but a fragile bubble that will shatter with a slight poke.

What's more, he thought he was loyal enough. He and Liang Yusen just finalized the cooperation this morning.

However, he put a lot of thought into making this deal happen.

Now that the cooperation has been reached, he will naturally stand on this side of the interest scale. As for Li Xuanbao's win or loss, in his eyes, it is far less important than the tangible benefits.

But he still had to say the polite words, after all, he and Li Xuanbao were still in a cooperative relationship.

Cheng Weilin changed his tone to one of comfort, with a perfect smile on his face: "Xuanbao, although we didn't get the piece of land we wanted the most, don't take it too seriously. Overall, today was pretty good. The area we photographed echoes the north and south of Li Jiawei and her team. If we develop it in the future, it may have some advantages."

Li Xuanbao glanced at Cheng Weilin coldly, and that look seemed to be able to penetrate his disguise.

She frowned slightly, her eyes full of thought, and spoke slowly, with a hint of chill in her voice: "I always have a strange feeling that the contents of our bid may have been leaked.

Otherwise, how could Universal Construction's bid price be 30 million more than ours? This number is too subtle, it's like someone figured out our bottom line in advance."

When Cheng Weilin heard Li Xuanbao say this, his heart suddenly tightened and he was stunned for a moment. Fortunately, his years of experience allowed him to calm down quickly.

It must be said that Li Xuanbao's intuition was terrifyingly sharp. However, things had come to this point, the bidding was over, and it was a done deal. There was no point dwelling on it.

He quickly suppressed his panic and showed a puzzled look on his face, trying to dispel Li Xuanbao's doubts: "Why do you think so? The members of our bidding team are all people you carefully selected and trust. How could someone betray you?"

Li Xuanbao rubbed his brows tiredly, but the doubts lingering in his mind could not be dispelled.

She looked at the empty and deserted bidding hall, feeling lost and helpless. After thinking for a moment, she sighed slowly, as if she had decided to let it go: "I can't explain it clearly, maybe I'm overthinking it. Forget it, let's go back first."

The filming of the movie in which Xiao Yi participated officially started. The first part to be filmed was the overseas war scenes. In order to pursue the realism and coherence of the shooting scenes, the entire creative team chartered a plane to go abroad.

Li Jiawei went to the airport to see Xiao Yi off. When she arrived at the airport, she saw that the outside was already crowded with fans who came to see her off. It was very lively.
