Although the working day falls on the weekend, the busyness of the entire "RICHES" building never stops.
It rained in the evening, and when the weather suddenly turned cold, yellow leaves fell all over the ground, and the temperature suddenly dropped several degrees.
Chu Muqing rushed several manuscripts in a row without taking a break during the period. When it was almost time to get off work, Zhao Yuming came over 1 minute before get off work.
Seeing that she was still busy, Zhao Yuming knocked on her desk: "Reporter Chu."
Chu Muqing leaned back slightly, raised her eyes: "Huh?"
"Is it convenient to work overtime tonight?" Zhao Yuming glanced at her, with a smile in his eyes, and said, "I know you refused to work overtime recently, but there is really no way, and there is no one to find."
Chu Muqing lowered her eyebrows: "Sorry, can I do it tomorrow?"
She was going to attend Mrs. Guan's charity dinner tonight, and it had already been agreed that she couldn't push it.
Furthermore, the third lady of the Lin family will also go.
Even if Su Rui mentioned this person to her before, there is no information about her on the Internet, so it can be said that she was cleaned up.
According to the gossip, she doesn't give anyone face, and she always acts according to her temper, and the Lin family has always been extremely conniving to her daughter, which has caused her to run amok.
Even so, she couldn't get in touch with Lin Zhourong for a while, so she had to see Miss Lin San.
It's not that she hasn't thought about whether Lin Xi is Lin Zhourong's daughter or not.
But no matter how she thought about Lin Xi's gentle and warm face, she couldn't match the rumored Miss Lin San.
Such thoughts often disappear in my mind as soon as they arise.
"It's okay." Zhao Yuming was stunned for a while, then shrugged: "I'll ask someone else."
As soon as Zhao Yuming left, it was time to get off work.
The people in the office immediately packed up their things and punched their cards to leave work. Even on weekends, even on weekdays, everyone thought it was overtime work, and they didn't want to stay in the office for a moment.
Chu Muqing walked out of the office with her bag in her hand, and the voices of several people chatting came from the front of the corridor——
"Chu Muqing doesn't even want to work overtime anymore?"
After the male colleague finished speaking, he even let out a "tsk": "Sure enough, what Shao Mingwan said was not a lie, she just married a rich man."
"That's right, Shao Mingwan suddenly stopped for a while, turned around and left when he saw Chu Muqing, where is the arrogance he had back then?"
"But don't mention it, if I were reporter Chu and married a rich man, let alone work overtime, I would not even go to work, so I would just resign."
"It's really been 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, but Zhao Yuming can't get off the stage in public, it's really a bit too much."
"Isn't that why Lao Zhao took care of her more?"
"We all thought that when Old Zhao became the vice president one day, Zhao Yuming's position would belong to Chu Muqing. Who knew that he would just look down on him, so who should we ask for reasoning?"
"Old Zhao probably regrets his guts, what else is promoted?"
"To be promoted is to offer her like a bodhisattva, and beg Chu Muqing to promote him."
Chu Muqing frowned slowly, but said nothing.
Originally, she wanted to go downstairs with them, so she had to let them go first.
However, Chu Muqing wanted to take the initiative to avoid them, but the female colleague at the back suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said to everyone: "You go first, I seem to have forgotten the charger."
"Huh? Then we'll wait for you for a while."
When the others heard the words, they also stopped and turned around after her.
It’s okay if you don’t look back, but this time——
Everyone saw Chu Muqing who was three meters away behind him.
Unanimously, everyone was stunned.
Chu Muqing's expression was indifferent, and she didn't say hello to them, but walked over directly, bypassing them, and walked down the white spiral staircase.
Looking at her figure going downstairs, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.
Seeing that Chu Muqing was gone, someone whispered——
"I heard that she may be resigning?"
"Ah? Where did the news come from?"
"It's understandable for her to resign, but marrying a wealthy family means that Omega has to give birth to children, take care of children, and finally serve her parents-in-law. Thinking about it, I feel that there is no freedom."
"So still, even if you resign and become a full-time wife of a wealthy family, is there anything to brag about?"
"Your words are a bit sour. Reporter Chu usually takes good care of us, but we were a bit vicious just now."
"..."
As soon as we left the "RICHES" building, the sun was setting. Because of the rain in the afternoon, the breeze rolled up the fallen leaves on the ground, and the breath in the air became more and more refreshing.
Chu Muqing's tense emotions finally relaxed, but her brows and eyes became more and more indifferent.
She never cared about what others arranged for her, and she was unwilling to explain more, after all, her mouth grows on others, and it is obviously meaningless to waste words.
Just like those in the Chu family, the old lady thought she was a "loser", but as an Omega, she would never be "sold" because of her asthma, and was worthless to the Chu family.Even though Chu Jinglan and her were both born of Chu's father, she was always worried that she would snatch Mo Beichen away. Every time the old lady celebrates her birthday, she would be chased away by those people one by one. The shareholders said that she Unfilial, wolf ambition only to covet the Chu family's shares.
Anger is not without it, but she never goes to explain to them what to justify. After all, where does she have the ability to change other people's thinking?
Once prejudices arise, explanations are futile.
Thinking of this, Chu Muqing adjusted her mood, walked to the parking space, and drove to Mrs. Guan's charity dinner.
The address of the dinner party was set at a five-star hotel, and Su Rui's home was not far from the hotel.
She made a phone call with Su Rui in advance, and when she heard that she was going to such a celebrity-filled occasion, Su Rui said that she had prepared an evening dress that was "extraordinary".
She and Su Rui have a good relationship, and they both have each other's spare keys.
After hearing her exaggerated words, Chu Muqing couldn't help but smile a little: "Would anyone care?"
"How come no one cares? I just borrowed that evening dress from the brand, and the value is nearly eight figures. Once you appear on the stage, you will definitely focus the attention of all the Alphas."
Chu Muqing chuckled lightly: "Thank you."
Her purpose for this charity dinner is not here, it's only for the Third Miss of the Lin family, and she doesn't have the intention to "overwhelm the crowd" as Su Rui said, but it's really not rude to attend such an important occasion.
"It's a pity that Lin Xi can't see it. If Lin Xi can see your upside-down appearance, she will definitely think that they married you because of the smoke from their ancestral grave."
Chu Muqing smiled helplessly: "Is it so exaggerated?"
Su Rui said mysteriously: "You will know when you come to my house and take a look. Remember to wear it when you go home, and let Lin Xi see how lucky she is to marry you!"
Chu Muqing: ...
,
Mrs. Guan's charity party was held at the Imperial Palace Hotel. Lin Xi had checked in advance that the hotel was a five-star hotel, which was only found in first-tier cities. The identity is here, and the people who come to the banquet are either high-ranking officials or celebrities in the business world.
Lin Xi leaned her shoulders back slightly and sank into the soft leather seat in the back seat. She closed her eyes and pretended to sleep to hide her nervousness.
Even if Lin's mother reminded her in advance, all she has to do is to represent the Lin family to take those auction items, try to raise the price as much as possible, and do more for charity.
Lin Xi wasn't nervous at first, after all, it was just an auction, and the Lin family had transferred enough money to her, so she could buy those auction items as she wished.
However, the problem is that Lin Dongxing reminded her in advance that she was going this time to represent the face of the Lin family. No matter what those people arranged for her, she must try her best to bear it and don't be as impulsive as before.
And this time there will be media, which is completely different from the previous private banquets.
Once she gets into trouble with others, her every move will be infinitely magnified under the camera.
Lin Dongxing talked to her on the phone for a long time before she understood that the second generation who had been offended by the original body would also go to this charity auction.
It's just that the identity of the original body was there before, relying on the presence of the Lin family, she humiliated those people and humiliated them. In the end, the Lin family directly came forward to help her clean up the mess, but this time it was different, because of the relationship between the media, once she caused an accident Come, maybe it will be exposed on the Internet.
Thinking of this, Lin Xi couldn't help sighing again.
Lin Dongxing's meaning was obvious, telling her to be patient in everything, otherwise she would lose face to the Lin family.
But isn't there something wrong with her?Can you still fight with people?
——[I told you just now, do you understand?The past was the past, now is the present, and today is not what it used to be. Guan Xuanzhang is trying his best to catch corruption. If you cause trouble at this time, it is impossible for Lao Lin and Aunt Rong to come forward to suppress the news for you. ]
Lin Xi thought for a few seconds, and then sent a message to Lin Dongxing: [I saw them this time and avoided them, and I won't meet them, so you should feel at ease now, right? ]
"Miss San, we are here."
The old butler's respectful voice came from the co-pilot.
Lin Xi raised his eyes and smiled slightly: "Well, yes."
The old butler has been carefully observing her emotions since she got into the car.
In the car, her complexion didn't seem to be much better. The old housekeeper thought it was because she didn't like such an occasion, but now she was smiling to welcome people.
The elongated black Lincoln had already parked at the Imperial Lay Court Hotel, and the doorman immediately came up to him and offered to open the car door for the VIP with a polite smile.
The old butler had already got out of the car, waved his hand to indicate that it was unnecessary, and opened the rear door himself.
"Miss San, please get out of the car." The old butler said respectfully.
Lin Xi nodded politely, and after she got out of the car, the old housekeeper stood by her side.
She raised her arm slightly and looked at the time on the watch on her wrist.
At eight o'clock, the sky had already darkened, and there were many buildings around the hotel, the neon lights were shining brightly, and the hustle and bustle during the day seemed to be worse at night, like a city that never sleeps.
Looking around, there are countless luxury cars in front of the hotel. From these luxury cars, it is not difficult to see that the guests who come here must be either rich or expensive.
Lin Xi entered with the young men who came to greet him, first signed his name, and then went to meet Mrs. Guan, the owner of the charity auction.
"Lin Xi, you're here."
Lin Xi smiled politely and called out, "Aunt Guan."
When Lin Xi entered, Mrs. Guan was still explaining to the staff. When she saw her coming in, she immediately put down what she was doing, waved to her with a smile, and said, "Come here and let me have a look."
Lin Xi walked over with a smile.
Mrs. Guan sized her up for a while, then said with a smile, "You look a lot like your mother, both are equally beautiful."
Lin Xi was about to speak, when Mrs. Guan said deliberately: "I thought you didn't want to come."
The old housekeeper paused, and was about to help.
Lin Xi hurriedly laughed and said, "How could it be? I really want to see those collections you treasure. If I can't see them this time, I don't know when I will have to wait."
"You kid, you can really talk."
Mrs. Guan laughed. She was middle-aged, her eyes were full of smiling tenderness, and so was her voice.
Mrs. Guan stood up and said to her, "Let's go, the time is coming soon."
The old housekeeper was slightly taken aback, Mrs. Guan wanted to bring Lin Xi into the arena herself?
Lin Xi blinked, and Mrs. Guan smiled again: "Are you hungry?"
Lin Xi smiled embarrassedly: "It's a little..."
Mrs. Guan laughed: "Let's go, you can sit with me and chat with me, just don't think I'm boring."
She has a large collection, but she often uses it for charity. However, what every collector is most proud of is nothing more than getting his collection recognized.
The old housekeeper followed the two of them out and nodded in satisfaction.
When he came, Mrs. Lin repeatedly asked him to watch Lin Xi carefully, and never let her make trouble.
However, Lin Xi's attitude towards people and things was no problem, and it was a surprise that he could even please Mrs. Guan.
Lin Xi followed Mrs. Guan all the way into the dinner venue. The auction hadn't started yet. At this moment, celebrities from all walks of life were all seated and chatting with each other.
As soon as she appeared, everyone present stopped talking and looked sideways.
Lin Xi followed Mrs. Guan, and followed her all the way to the owner's table closest to the auction stage.
Mrs. Guan pulled Lin Xi's wrist affectionately and asked her to sit down beside her.
At present, there are only her and Mrs. Guan at this table, but as far as the eye can see, other guests are already full.
It can be seen from this that the people who can sit at Mrs. Guan's table are bound to be heavyweights, and they may be the finale.
Sure enough, when the service staff of the hotel finished serving all kinds of exquisite delicacies, the men and women sitting at her table afterward were all she had seen on the news, so their identities could be imagined.
At the edge of the huge venue, someone couldn't help being curious, and asked the people beside him in a low voice——
"Who is that young man?"
"It should be the third lady of the Lin family."
"Miss Lin Jiasan? Oh... Chairman Lin's daughter, what's her name?"
"Tsk, I don't know what it's called. The Lin family has always kept a low profile."
As the man spoke, he couldn't help looking at the cold woman in a blue dress beside him.
He thought for a while and tried to strike up a conversation. He turned his body and asked the cold beauty: "Miss, do you know the name of Miss Lin's third?"
Unexpectedly, the beauty's face suddenly became colder and colder, and she said, "Lin Xi, her name is Lin Xi."
"Ah?" The man couldn't help being stunned: "Do you know each other?"
,
From the moment Lin Xi entered the arena with Mrs. Guan, Chu Muqing saw her.
Lin Xi was wearing a dark blue suit, with long hair scattered behind her back, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on her face.
She entered the venue in a high-end gown, and her whole body was full of extravagance from top to bottom, which could not be ignored by anyone.
From the moment she came in, Chu Muqing heard admiration from many people around her.
Looking from a distance, the man was smiling politely, calmly responding to the inquiries of the elders around him.
At this time, a young woman in a red evening dress walked up to her and said something to her while holding a champagne glass.
Lin Xi on the seat frowned and smiled, picked up the wine glass on the table with her fingers and continued to clink glasses with her.
The young woman took the empty seat to her left, and the two continued their conversation.
Chu Muqing frowned slightly, the woman in the red evening dress didn't know what she said to her, Lin Xi laughed directly.
From the looks of it, she should be quite happy.
It's just that the distance is too far, she can't hear what they are talking about.
"Chu—"
At this time, a woman's voice suddenly came from the ear.
Chu Muqing subconsciously thought that the other party was calling her, she looked up sideways, but found that she had never seen the woman sitting on the seat beside her, but she was familiar with it.
The beautiful woman looked at her with inexplicably dull eyes, and her eyes were fixed on her face.
Chu Muqing frowned, the other party's reaction was indeed too rude.
Afterwards, the woman came to her senses and said with a smile, "Hello, Reporter Chu, I'm Guan Jin."
Chu Muqing nodded lightly: "Hello, Chu Muqing."
No wonder she felt familiar, that Internet celebrity who has always been keen on doing charity, "RICHES" once interviewed her, but the interviewer was not her.
After Guan Jin greeted her, she exchanged greetings with the people at the same table.After exchanging greetings, several young second generations at the next table saw her and came over to chat with her with wine glasses.
Judging from their attitude towards her, they were respectful and flattering, and it was obvious that Guan Jin's rumor that she was Guan Xuanchang's niece was true.
But this has nothing to do with Chu Muqing, she is not familiar with Guan Jin, and has never met her before, she is just surprised why Guan Jin knows her.
After Guan Jin finished dealing with it, she returned to the seat and sat down again.
She tilted her head, smiled slightly at Chu Muqing, and said, "Reporter Chu, I have read all the manuscripts you wrote. I didn't expect the rumored reporter Chu to be so beautiful in person."
While Guan Jin was saying this, Chu Muqing's eyes fell on Lin Xi who was in the distance.
She was still chatting with the woman in the red dress. Although she couldn't see the expression clearly, Chu Muqing felt that she and the man seemed to be hating each other.
"Reporter Chu?"
Guan Jin called her again.
Chu Muqing came back to her senses: "What?"
Guan Jin smiled gently, took the initiative to stop the waiter beside her, took the champagne from her tray, and put it in front of Chu Muqing.
Chu Muqing didn't touch it, but said politely, "Thank you."
"Is the food not to your liking?" Guan Jin asked her softly.
Chu Muqing glanced towards Lin Xi again, and replied casually, "No."
Guan Jin paused, suppressed the displeasure in her eyes, and followed her gaze to the distance, only to realize that Chu Muqing was looking at Lin Xi the whole time.
"Miss Chu knows Miss Lin San?" Guan Jin asked.
Chu Muqing paused, and said, "I don't know."
"So..." Guan Jin thought of something, and said with a smile, "I thought you would know each other."
Chu Muqing couldn't help frowning: "Why do I know each other?"
Guan Jin smiled: "A while ago, I heard that Ms. Lin San threatened to buy several billions of land in Xicheng District to build a racing track. After hearing about it, the media rushed to interview after hearing the news. They thought that reporter Chu had also interviewed."
I don't know if it's an illusion, but Chu Muqing always felt that there was something in Guan Jin's words.
She said softly: "No, "RICHES" is only responsible for personal interviews, not entertainment gossip news."
Guan Jin nodded: "So that's the case. I misunderstood. I heard that Reporter Chu has a lovely daughter?"
Chu Muqing looked at her indifferently, and tried: "Miss Guan seems to know me very well?"
"No, no, how could it be? The head reporter of "RICHES" is well-known, so naturally there are many suitors, so there are many rumors. It is really difficult to distinguish the true from the false. This time, I have a chance to meet you, so I will chat with you a few more times. Reporter Chu, please don't mind."
Chu Muqing didn't respond.
Guan Jin smiled, and changed the subject again: "Reporter Chu is also here to photograph collections?"
Chu Muqing paused slightly.
Guan Jin immediately understood, and smiled softly: "It's okay if you don't take pictures. It's always good to have a charity heart. If you like something, I can take a picture of it, and it will be a gift to reporter Chu."
Chu Muqing couldn't help frowning again, and was about to say, "No need, I don't—"
She didn't finish speaking.
At this time, someone not far away shouted with a smile: "Guan Jin, long time no see, what have you been up to lately?"
Guan Jin looked not far away, and when she saw a few young men and women in gorgeous dresses walking towards her, she immediately stood up, and politely smiled at Chu Muqing: "Sorry, excuse me."
She said, stood up, and walked in the direction of those people.
Guan Jin walked over, and the leading young man immediately smiled and said, "It's really rare to see you on this occasion."
Guan Jin raised her eyebrows: "Huh?"
"Don't you hate this kind of entertainment the most? But as long as it's for charity, I'm sure I can see you."
At this time, the other man also smiled and said, "Isn't it true that Guan Dashan's name is not Gaide?"
Before Guan Jin could respond, the man changed his mind, glanced at the host's seat, and couldn't help sneering: "After all, Lin Xi's stuff is here, maybe this time it's for the limelight."
"Keep your voice down..." The girl who followed them couldn't help reminding: "Since she is sitting next to Mrs. Guan, that means the guest of honor. The previous things are over, don't worry about it anymore."
"I care about it?" The man pointed at the bridge of his nose: "My fucking nose bone was broken by him, it's only been a few days, I can't fucking let it go!"
Guan Jin smiled lightly to smooth things over: "Okay, you guys just came, let's eat first."
The man was not forgiving, even though Guan Jin patted the back, he still said coldly: "I don't believe that the Lin family can still let their temper go. I want to see how much she can pay tonight."
The woman who was traveling with her comforted her: "Isn't this still Guan Jin? She is not in the limelight when there is a good person."
As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed, and Guan Jin also laughed.
At this moment, the woman who was walking with her noticed something: "That's not right, the woman who was talking to Lin Xi, take a closer look at who that is."
After her reminder, several people looked over together.
"I'm going, isn't it? That's... the second lady of General Xu's family?"
"Am I not mistaken? Is it really her? Did she return to China early?"
"Lin Xi is really capable. Judging by her obsequious appearance, she is just a stepdaughter of the Lin family. She can't be accomplished in literature or martial arts. She still wants to be promoted?"
"She also wants to climb high?"
Except for Guan Jin who frowned, everyone laughed cheerfully.
Guan Jin couldn't help but look at Lin Xi in the distance again, she was indeed chatting with Xu Moran the whole time.
On the other side, Lin Xi didn't know at all that she had become a merchant's daughter in the eyes of outsiders, so in order to climb up, she began to climb up to the second miss of the Xu family.
Xu Moran smiled and asked her, "Why are you so poor in English?"
Lin Xi shrugged helplessly: "It's because of my poor foundation that I didn't start to learn English until I was in junior high school."
"Ah?" Xu Moran was slightly surprised: "No way?"
Lin Xi paused, and was about to explain.
Xu Moran smiled again: "But it's understandable, you study late, don't worry, I won't look down on you."
Lin Xi smiled: "Thank you."
Originally, she followed Mother Lin into the Lin family. She had just started studying at that time, and she didn't have much academic skills. Later, she was forced by her family to enter the university as an art student, and her grades were naturally poor.
But in fact, her English is not good because...
She had never been exposed to English in elementary school, and she couldn't keep up with it in junior high school, so she was forced to memorize it by rote. Until she went to university, her English level was just barely enough to pass the exam.
"Are you really married?" Xu Moran looked at her curiously, and then looked around: "What about your Omega, is she here?"
Lin Xi smiled and shook her head: "No, she's busy with work, either she has to work overtime, or...go to a friend's party."
"Ah?" Xu Moran was a little bit aggrieved for her: "She didn't tell you where she went?"
Lin Xi's expression was a little lost for a moment, and he responded muffledly: "Ang."
"Oh, don't be like this. Even if you are married, you need each other's privacy. It's okay."
Facing her sudden comfort, Lin Xi felt a little funny: "It's as if you were married?"
"Then I study psychology," Xu Moran thought of something: "I knew a professor when I was abroad, as long as someone stood in front of her, everything would be hidden."
"Really? Are you talking about the protagonist of a psychological TV series?"
"How is it possible? Have you heard of Cheng Chumo?"
Lin Xi blinked, Cheng Chumo?
Chu Muqing's...that sister?
Or is it just a duplicate name?
If it was really the same person, Chu Muqing said that Cheng Chumo wanted to meet her.
Lin Xi's mind was full of thoughts, and a hazy idea gradually took shape in her mind. Chu Muqing suspected that she had a psychological problem, and that's why her attitude towards her became more and more relaxed these days?
Her mind almost buzzed.
"Lin Xi?" Xu Moran asked her, "What's wrong with you?"
Lin Xi shook his head: "No, I'm just a little thirsty."
"Then drink?"
"okay."
"What's the matter with you? Absent-minded."
As Xu Moran said, he poked her arm again: "Why do you smell sandalwood?"
Lin Xi swallowed a glass of champagne, and couldn't help licking his lower lip: "It must have been in the office."
"But didn't you come here after taking a shower and changing your dress? How could it be stained by the office? Could it be—"
Although the smell is very mild and strangely similar to sandalwood, it is not impossible...
Xu Moran froze for a moment, then thought of something.
She is an Omega, and asking the other party what the Alpha pheromone smells like is obviously impolite or seductive.
She was on the verge of speaking, and asked her again: "Do you have a blocker?"
Lin Xi:? ? ?
What is she doing with that thing?
Lin Xi responded casually: "I brought it with me, I just bought it."
Xu Moran didn't suspect him, and tried again: "Then do you want to go to the bathroom?"
After Xu Moran finished speaking, he sniffed the air carefully, and the smell was gone again.
It should be... She was thinking too much.
In this world, how can there be Alpha's pheromone taste similar to sandalwood?
How abstinent is that...
,
Lin Xi felt that something was wrong with her, the drowsy feeling in her mind seemed very strong, and her mood went up and down in an instant.
She originally wanted to go to the bathroom to wash her face and clear her mind, but the auction started soon.
Mother Lin's words magnified infinitely in her mind, reminding her loudly: "Try to raise the price."
Knowing that she is not interested in these collections, I let her handle them by herself.
Lin Xi shook his head, this wine...is really too strong.
However, she only drank two glasses, which caused such a reaction. Sure enough, after abstaining from alcohol for too long, her body's reaction became very obvious after drinking.
Fortunately, the moment the host stepped onto the stage, the panic in her heart eased a lot.
After taking several deep breaths in a row, she finally regained consciousness.
The feeling just now was like being in the deep sea, and even breathing became difficult in an instant.
Never drink again in the future, never!
In the banquet hall, all the lights dimmed in an instant, and dazzling beams of lights gathered in the direction of the podium. In the introduction of the host, the first collection provided by Mrs. Guan for this auction also made its debut.
It was a sapphire necklace, and the moment the light flickered past, the uneasiness in her heart surged up again.
The dizziness in his mind also became more and more intense, and he directly missed the host's introduction to the collection.
After taking another deep breath, she heard a lot of conversation from the crowd. Lin Xiqiang strained his consciousness to listen, and it was only through everyone's whispering that he realized what the host had just introduced.
The starting price of that necklace was 450 million. It was once worn by a certain foreign princess.
For a while, no one raised their cards.
Lin Xi really didn't have the strength, so he could only signal to the butler behind him, and the butler immediately raised his sign.
The host immediately said excitedly: "Miss Lin Xi bids 500 million."
At this time, he saw the distance, and immediately said: "Miss Guan Jin bid 550 million."
Lin Xi gestured to the butler again, and the butler raised his sign again.
"Miss Lin Xi offered 600 million yuan."
"Miss Guan Jin offered 650 million yuan."
"Miss Lin Xi offered 700 million yuan."
"Miss Guan Jin bid 750 million!!"
Everyone thought that when the bidding reached here, no one would raise their placards anymore.
At this time, the host said excitedly: "Mr. Mo Beichen, bid 800 million!"
Not far away, as soon as the host finished shouting, Chu Jinglan pulled the arm of the man beside him.
"Are you crazy? Who are you buying this thing for?" Chu Jinglan looked at him in surprise: "You don't want to give it to your sister, do you?"
Mo Beichen pushed his hand away impatiently, without saying a word.
Chu Jinglan became more and more unwilling: "You can't bear to buy me a skirt, and now you are taking such an expensive necklace?"
Lin Xi was still distracted at first, but when he heard Mo Beichen's name, he sneered instantly.
She continued to signal the housekeeper to raise the placard, anyway, it was for charity, and Mrs. Lin asked her to bid at a high price, so she could only do so.
Sure enough, after she raised her placard again, Mo Beichen didn't bid again.
Instead, it became a competition between her and Guan Jin, and the price was raised to 950 million in a short while.
"Miss Lin Xi bid 950 million yuan, may I ask who else is bidding?"
The host was full of excitement and looked at the audience.
There is still a shortfall of 50. As long as someone raises the card again, this necklace will reach 1000 million!
Not far away, Guan Jin looked coldly in the direction of Lin Xi's chair.
He frowned suddenly, this person... Was he trying to challenge her on purpose?
"Hehe, this guy really wants to steal the limelight, did she do it on purpose?"
"Who says no, she knows how to be charitable, and even asks the housekeeper to raise a sign. Is she a baby?"
"Giant baby!"
Guan Jin hesitated, and couldn't help but cast a glance at Chu Muqing who was at the next table not far away.
She also told Chu Muqing just now that she wanted to take a photo of this necklace and give it to Chu Muqing.
however……
Lin Xi was deliberately asking her for a price, seeing that she was about to raise the price to 600 million for something that could have been won for 1000 million.
Guan Jin frowned again.
The assistant behind him stepped forward cautiously, and whispered in her ear, "Miss Guan, the third miss of the Lin family will definitely not hand over something that the third miss of the Lin family has taken care of. I think it's still..."
Guan Jin snorted coldly, and secretly hated: "A murderer, what right does he have to show off his might?"
The assistant was taken aback: "What did you say?"
"It's nothing, no more, just give it to her if she likes it!"
The assistant paused, but still reminded: "Miss Guan, please be careful, after all..."
Guan Jin looked at him coldly, took another deep breath, and said, "I was talking nonsense."
At this time, the excited voice of the host came from the podium again: "Miss Lin Xi bids 950 million!"
"Everyone here, is there anyone who continues to raise placards?"
On the other side, Mo Beichen was hesitating whether to continue raising the placard.
Mo Beichen could see clearly that the Miss Lin Xi that the host was talking about was the woman who married Chu Muqing.
He is really not reconciled!
Whether it was out of jealousy or resentment, he didn't want to lose to her this time.
He gritted his teeth and was about to raise his hand.
Chu Jinglan slapped him on the arm: "You're crazy! If you do, what kind of money will we spend to buy the house in Lin Ming Jin Yuan!"
Mo Beichen calmed down again.
At the master's seat, Xu Moran smiled, leaned into Lin Xi's ear and asked her: "Sister, who do you want to send?"
Lin Xi smiled back: "My wife, she doesn't seem to have worn any necklaces before. If I take a picture and give it to her, she will be happy."
Xu Moran leaned forward and back with a smile, looking from a distance, as if he was about to laugh in Lin Xi's arms.
The host's voice came again: "Miss Lin Xi offered 950 million yuan! There are still people—"
At this time, no one noticed that a dignified and elegant lady in the corner slowly raised a sign.
The host's eyes lit up, and he became even more excited and said, "Miss Chu Muqing, the bid is 1000 million!!"
Guan Jin: ...
Mo Beichen: ...
Lin Xi: ………………………?
It rained in the evening, and when the weather suddenly turned cold, yellow leaves fell all over the ground, and the temperature suddenly dropped several degrees.
Chu Muqing rushed several manuscripts in a row without taking a break during the period. When it was almost time to get off work, Zhao Yuming came over 1 minute before get off work.
Seeing that she was still busy, Zhao Yuming knocked on her desk: "Reporter Chu."
Chu Muqing leaned back slightly, raised her eyes: "Huh?"
"Is it convenient to work overtime tonight?" Zhao Yuming glanced at her, with a smile in his eyes, and said, "I know you refused to work overtime recently, but there is really no way, and there is no one to find."
Chu Muqing lowered her eyebrows: "Sorry, can I do it tomorrow?"
She was going to attend Mrs. Guan's charity dinner tonight, and it had already been agreed that she couldn't push it.
Furthermore, the third lady of the Lin family will also go.
Even if Su Rui mentioned this person to her before, there is no information about her on the Internet, so it can be said that she was cleaned up.
According to the gossip, she doesn't give anyone face, and she always acts according to her temper, and the Lin family has always been extremely conniving to her daughter, which has caused her to run amok.
Even so, she couldn't get in touch with Lin Zhourong for a while, so she had to see Miss Lin San.
It's not that she hasn't thought about whether Lin Xi is Lin Zhourong's daughter or not.
But no matter how she thought about Lin Xi's gentle and warm face, she couldn't match the rumored Miss Lin San.
Such thoughts often disappear in my mind as soon as they arise.
"It's okay." Zhao Yuming was stunned for a while, then shrugged: "I'll ask someone else."
As soon as Zhao Yuming left, it was time to get off work.
The people in the office immediately packed up their things and punched their cards to leave work. Even on weekends, even on weekdays, everyone thought it was overtime work, and they didn't want to stay in the office for a moment.
Chu Muqing walked out of the office with her bag in her hand, and the voices of several people chatting came from the front of the corridor——
"Chu Muqing doesn't even want to work overtime anymore?"
After the male colleague finished speaking, he even let out a "tsk": "Sure enough, what Shao Mingwan said was not a lie, she just married a rich man."
"That's right, Shao Mingwan suddenly stopped for a while, turned around and left when he saw Chu Muqing, where is the arrogance he had back then?"
"But don't mention it, if I were reporter Chu and married a rich man, let alone work overtime, I would not even go to work, so I would just resign."
"It's really been 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, but Zhao Yuming can't get off the stage in public, it's really a bit too much."
"Isn't that why Lao Zhao took care of her more?"
"We all thought that when Old Zhao became the vice president one day, Zhao Yuming's position would belong to Chu Muqing. Who knew that he would just look down on him, so who should we ask for reasoning?"
"Old Zhao probably regrets his guts, what else is promoted?"
"To be promoted is to offer her like a bodhisattva, and beg Chu Muqing to promote him."
Chu Muqing frowned slowly, but said nothing.
Originally, she wanted to go downstairs with them, so she had to let them go first.
However, Chu Muqing wanted to take the initiative to avoid them, but the female colleague at the back suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said to everyone: "You go first, I seem to have forgotten the charger."
"Huh? Then we'll wait for you for a while."
When the others heard the words, they also stopped and turned around after her.
It’s okay if you don’t look back, but this time——
Everyone saw Chu Muqing who was three meters away behind him.
Unanimously, everyone was stunned.
Chu Muqing's expression was indifferent, and she didn't say hello to them, but walked over directly, bypassing them, and walked down the white spiral staircase.
Looking at her figure going downstairs, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.
Seeing that Chu Muqing was gone, someone whispered——
"I heard that she may be resigning?"
"Ah? Where did the news come from?"
"It's understandable for her to resign, but marrying a wealthy family means that Omega has to give birth to children, take care of children, and finally serve her parents-in-law. Thinking about it, I feel that there is no freedom."
"So still, even if you resign and become a full-time wife of a wealthy family, is there anything to brag about?"
"Your words are a bit sour. Reporter Chu usually takes good care of us, but we were a bit vicious just now."
"..."
As soon as we left the "RICHES" building, the sun was setting. Because of the rain in the afternoon, the breeze rolled up the fallen leaves on the ground, and the breath in the air became more and more refreshing.
Chu Muqing's tense emotions finally relaxed, but her brows and eyes became more and more indifferent.
She never cared about what others arranged for her, and she was unwilling to explain more, after all, her mouth grows on others, and it is obviously meaningless to waste words.
Just like those in the Chu family, the old lady thought she was a "loser", but as an Omega, she would never be "sold" because of her asthma, and was worthless to the Chu family.Even though Chu Jinglan and her were both born of Chu's father, she was always worried that she would snatch Mo Beichen away. Every time the old lady celebrates her birthday, she would be chased away by those people one by one. The shareholders said that she Unfilial, wolf ambition only to covet the Chu family's shares.
Anger is not without it, but she never goes to explain to them what to justify. After all, where does she have the ability to change other people's thinking?
Once prejudices arise, explanations are futile.
Thinking of this, Chu Muqing adjusted her mood, walked to the parking space, and drove to Mrs. Guan's charity dinner.
The address of the dinner party was set at a five-star hotel, and Su Rui's home was not far from the hotel.
She made a phone call with Su Rui in advance, and when she heard that she was going to such a celebrity-filled occasion, Su Rui said that she had prepared an evening dress that was "extraordinary".
She and Su Rui have a good relationship, and they both have each other's spare keys.
After hearing her exaggerated words, Chu Muqing couldn't help but smile a little: "Would anyone care?"
"How come no one cares? I just borrowed that evening dress from the brand, and the value is nearly eight figures. Once you appear on the stage, you will definitely focus the attention of all the Alphas."
Chu Muqing chuckled lightly: "Thank you."
Her purpose for this charity dinner is not here, it's only for the Third Miss of the Lin family, and she doesn't have the intention to "overwhelm the crowd" as Su Rui said, but it's really not rude to attend such an important occasion.
"It's a pity that Lin Xi can't see it. If Lin Xi can see your upside-down appearance, she will definitely think that they married you because of the smoke from their ancestral grave."
Chu Muqing smiled helplessly: "Is it so exaggerated?"
Su Rui said mysteriously: "You will know when you come to my house and take a look. Remember to wear it when you go home, and let Lin Xi see how lucky she is to marry you!"
Chu Muqing: ...
,
Mrs. Guan's charity party was held at the Imperial Palace Hotel. Lin Xi had checked in advance that the hotel was a five-star hotel, which was only found in first-tier cities. The identity is here, and the people who come to the banquet are either high-ranking officials or celebrities in the business world.
Lin Xi leaned her shoulders back slightly and sank into the soft leather seat in the back seat. She closed her eyes and pretended to sleep to hide her nervousness.
Even if Lin's mother reminded her in advance, all she has to do is to represent the Lin family to take those auction items, try to raise the price as much as possible, and do more for charity.
Lin Xi wasn't nervous at first, after all, it was just an auction, and the Lin family had transferred enough money to her, so she could buy those auction items as she wished.
However, the problem is that Lin Dongxing reminded her in advance that she was going this time to represent the face of the Lin family. No matter what those people arranged for her, she must try her best to bear it and don't be as impulsive as before.
And this time there will be media, which is completely different from the previous private banquets.
Once she gets into trouble with others, her every move will be infinitely magnified under the camera.
Lin Dongxing talked to her on the phone for a long time before she understood that the second generation who had been offended by the original body would also go to this charity auction.
It's just that the identity of the original body was there before, relying on the presence of the Lin family, she humiliated those people and humiliated them. In the end, the Lin family directly came forward to help her clean up the mess, but this time it was different, because of the relationship between the media, once she caused an accident Come, maybe it will be exposed on the Internet.
Thinking of this, Lin Xi couldn't help sighing again.
Lin Dongxing's meaning was obvious, telling her to be patient in everything, otherwise she would lose face to the Lin family.
But isn't there something wrong with her?Can you still fight with people?
——[I told you just now, do you understand?The past was the past, now is the present, and today is not what it used to be. Guan Xuanzhang is trying his best to catch corruption. If you cause trouble at this time, it is impossible for Lao Lin and Aunt Rong to come forward to suppress the news for you. ]
Lin Xi thought for a few seconds, and then sent a message to Lin Dongxing: [I saw them this time and avoided them, and I won't meet them, so you should feel at ease now, right? ]
"Miss San, we are here."
The old butler's respectful voice came from the co-pilot.
Lin Xi raised his eyes and smiled slightly: "Well, yes."
The old butler has been carefully observing her emotions since she got into the car.
In the car, her complexion didn't seem to be much better. The old housekeeper thought it was because she didn't like such an occasion, but now she was smiling to welcome people.
The elongated black Lincoln had already parked at the Imperial Lay Court Hotel, and the doorman immediately came up to him and offered to open the car door for the VIP with a polite smile.
The old butler had already got out of the car, waved his hand to indicate that it was unnecessary, and opened the rear door himself.
"Miss San, please get out of the car." The old butler said respectfully.
Lin Xi nodded politely, and after she got out of the car, the old housekeeper stood by her side.
She raised her arm slightly and looked at the time on the watch on her wrist.
At eight o'clock, the sky had already darkened, and there were many buildings around the hotel, the neon lights were shining brightly, and the hustle and bustle during the day seemed to be worse at night, like a city that never sleeps.
Looking around, there are countless luxury cars in front of the hotel. From these luxury cars, it is not difficult to see that the guests who come here must be either rich or expensive.
Lin Xi entered with the young men who came to greet him, first signed his name, and then went to meet Mrs. Guan, the owner of the charity auction.
"Lin Xi, you're here."
Lin Xi smiled politely and called out, "Aunt Guan."
When Lin Xi entered, Mrs. Guan was still explaining to the staff. When she saw her coming in, she immediately put down what she was doing, waved to her with a smile, and said, "Come here and let me have a look."
Lin Xi walked over with a smile.
Mrs. Guan sized her up for a while, then said with a smile, "You look a lot like your mother, both are equally beautiful."
Lin Xi was about to speak, when Mrs. Guan said deliberately: "I thought you didn't want to come."
The old housekeeper paused, and was about to help.
Lin Xi hurriedly laughed and said, "How could it be? I really want to see those collections you treasure. If I can't see them this time, I don't know when I will have to wait."
"You kid, you can really talk."
Mrs. Guan laughed. She was middle-aged, her eyes were full of smiling tenderness, and so was her voice.
Mrs. Guan stood up and said to her, "Let's go, the time is coming soon."
The old housekeeper was slightly taken aback, Mrs. Guan wanted to bring Lin Xi into the arena herself?
Lin Xi blinked, and Mrs. Guan smiled again: "Are you hungry?"
Lin Xi smiled embarrassedly: "It's a little..."
Mrs. Guan laughed: "Let's go, you can sit with me and chat with me, just don't think I'm boring."
She has a large collection, but she often uses it for charity. However, what every collector is most proud of is nothing more than getting his collection recognized.
The old housekeeper followed the two of them out and nodded in satisfaction.
When he came, Mrs. Lin repeatedly asked him to watch Lin Xi carefully, and never let her make trouble.
However, Lin Xi's attitude towards people and things was no problem, and it was a surprise that he could even please Mrs. Guan.
Lin Xi followed Mrs. Guan all the way into the dinner venue. The auction hadn't started yet. At this moment, celebrities from all walks of life were all seated and chatting with each other.
As soon as she appeared, everyone present stopped talking and looked sideways.
Lin Xi followed Mrs. Guan, and followed her all the way to the owner's table closest to the auction stage.
Mrs. Guan pulled Lin Xi's wrist affectionately and asked her to sit down beside her.
At present, there are only her and Mrs. Guan at this table, but as far as the eye can see, other guests are already full.
It can be seen from this that the people who can sit at Mrs. Guan's table are bound to be heavyweights, and they may be the finale.
Sure enough, when the service staff of the hotel finished serving all kinds of exquisite delicacies, the men and women sitting at her table afterward were all she had seen on the news, so their identities could be imagined.
At the edge of the huge venue, someone couldn't help being curious, and asked the people beside him in a low voice——
"Who is that young man?"
"It should be the third lady of the Lin family."
"Miss Lin Jiasan? Oh... Chairman Lin's daughter, what's her name?"
"Tsk, I don't know what it's called. The Lin family has always kept a low profile."
As the man spoke, he couldn't help looking at the cold woman in a blue dress beside him.
He thought for a while and tried to strike up a conversation. He turned his body and asked the cold beauty: "Miss, do you know the name of Miss Lin's third?"
Unexpectedly, the beauty's face suddenly became colder and colder, and she said, "Lin Xi, her name is Lin Xi."
"Ah?" The man couldn't help being stunned: "Do you know each other?"
,
From the moment Lin Xi entered the arena with Mrs. Guan, Chu Muqing saw her.
Lin Xi was wearing a dark blue suit, with long hair scattered behind her back, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on her face.
She entered the venue in a high-end gown, and her whole body was full of extravagance from top to bottom, which could not be ignored by anyone.
From the moment she came in, Chu Muqing heard admiration from many people around her.
Looking from a distance, the man was smiling politely, calmly responding to the inquiries of the elders around him.
At this time, a young woman in a red evening dress walked up to her and said something to her while holding a champagne glass.
Lin Xi on the seat frowned and smiled, picked up the wine glass on the table with her fingers and continued to clink glasses with her.
The young woman took the empty seat to her left, and the two continued their conversation.
Chu Muqing frowned slightly, the woman in the red evening dress didn't know what she said to her, Lin Xi laughed directly.
From the looks of it, she should be quite happy.
It's just that the distance is too far, she can't hear what they are talking about.
"Chu—"
At this time, a woman's voice suddenly came from the ear.
Chu Muqing subconsciously thought that the other party was calling her, she looked up sideways, but found that she had never seen the woman sitting on the seat beside her, but she was familiar with it.
The beautiful woman looked at her with inexplicably dull eyes, and her eyes were fixed on her face.
Chu Muqing frowned, the other party's reaction was indeed too rude.
Afterwards, the woman came to her senses and said with a smile, "Hello, Reporter Chu, I'm Guan Jin."
Chu Muqing nodded lightly: "Hello, Chu Muqing."
No wonder she felt familiar, that Internet celebrity who has always been keen on doing charity, "RICHES" once interviewed her, but the interviewer was not her.
After Guan Jin greeted her, she exchanged greetings with the people at the same table.After exchanging greetings, several young second generations at the next table saw her and came over to chat with her with wine glasses.
Judging from their attitude towards her, they were respectful and flattering, and it was obvious that Guan Jin's rumor that she was Guan Xuanchang's niece was true.
But this has nothing to do with Chu Muqing, she is not familiar with Guan Jin, and has never met her before, she is just surprised why Guan Jin knows her.
After Guan Jin finished dealing with it, she returned to the seat and sat down again.
She tilted her head, smiled slightly at Chu Muqing, and said, "Reporter Chu, I have read all the manuscripts you wrote. I didn't expect the rumored reporter Chu to be so beautiful in person."
While Guan Jin was saying this, Chu Muqing's eyes fell on Lin Xi who was in the distance.
She was still chatting with the woman in the red dress. Although she couldn't see the expression clearly, Chu Muqing felt that she and the man seemed to be hating each other.
"Reporter Chu?"
Guan Jin called her again.
Chu Muqing came back to her senses: "What?"
Guan Jin smiled gently, took the initiative to stop the waiter beside her, took the champagne from her tray, and put it in front of Chu Muqing.
Chu Muqing didn't touch it, but said politely, "Thank you."
"Is the food not to your liking?" Guan Jin asked her softly.
Chu Muqing glanced towards Lin Xi again, and replied casually, "No."
Guan Jin paused, suppressed the displeasure in her eyes, and followed her gaze to the distance, only to realize that Chu Muqing was looking at Lin Xi the whole time.
"Miss Chu knows Miss Lin San?" Guan Jin asked.
Chu Muqing paused, and said, "I don't know."
"So..." Guan Jin thought of something, and said with a smile, "I thought you would know each other."
Chu Muqing couldn't help frowning: "Why do I know each other?"
Guan Jin smiled: "A while ago, I heard that Ms. Lin San threatened to buy several billions of land in Xicheng District to build a racing track. After hearing about it, the media rushed to interview after hearing the news. They thought that reporter Chu had also interviewed."
I don't know if it's an illusion, but Chu Muqing always felt that there was something in Guan Jin's words.
She said softly: "No, "RICHES" is only responsible for personal interviews, not entertainment gossip news."
Guan Jin nodded: "So that's the case. I misunderstood. I heard that Reporter Chu has a lovely daughter?"
Chu Muqing looked at her indifferently, and tried: "Miss Guan seems to know me very well?"
"No, no, how could it be? The head reporter of "RICHES" is well-known, so naturally there are many suitors, so there are many rumors. It is really difficult to distinguish the true from the false. This time, I have a chance to meet you, so I will chat with you a few more times. Reporter Chu, please don't mind."
Chu Muqing didn't respond.
Guan Jin smiled, and changed the subject again: "Reporter Chu is also here to photograph collections?"
Chu Muqing paused slightly.
Guan Jin immediately understood, and smiled softly: "It's okay if you don't take pictures. It's always good to have a charity heart. If you like something, I can take a picture of it, and it will be a gift to reporter Chu."
Chu Muqing couldn't help frowning again, and was about to say, "No need, I don't—"
She didn't finish speaking.
At this time, someone not far away shouted with a smile: "Guan Jin, long time no see, what have you been up to lately?"
Guan Jin looked not far away, and when she saw a few young men and women in gorgeous dresses walking towards her, she immediately stood up, and politely smiled at Chu Muqing: "Sorry, excuse me."
She said, stood up, and walked in the direction of those people.
Guan Jin walked over, and the leading young man immediately smiled and said, "It's really rare to see you on this occasion."
Guan Jin raised her eyebrows: "Huh?"
"Don't you hate this kind of entertainment the most? But as long as it's for charity, I'm sure I can see you."
At this time, the other man also smiled and said, "Isn't it true that Guan Dashan's name is not Gaide?"
Before Guan Jin could respond, the man changed his mind, glanced at the host's seat, and couldn't help sneering: "After all, Lin Xi's stuff is here, maybe this time it's for the limelight."
"Keep your voice down..." The girl who followed them couldn't help reminding: "Since she is sitting next to Mrs. Guan, that means the guest of honor. The previous things are over, don't worry about it anymore."
"I care about it?" The man pointed at the bridge of his nose: "My fucking nose bone was broken by him, it's only been a few days, I can't fucking let it go!"
Guan Jin smiled lightly to smooth things over: "Okay, you guys just came, let's eat first."
The man was not forgiving, even though Guan Jin patted the back, he still said coldly: "I don't believe that the Lin family can still let their temper go. I want to see how much she can pay tonight."
The woman who was traveling with her comforted her: "Isn't this still Guan Jin? She is not in the limelight when there is a good person."
As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed, and Guan Jin also laughed.
At this moment, the woman who was walking with her noticed something: "That's not right, the woman who was talking to Lin Xi, take a closer look at who that is."
After her reminder, several people looked over together.
"I'm going, isn't it? That's... the second lady of General Xu's family?"
"Am I not mistaken? Is it really her? Did she return to China early?"
"Lin Xi is really capable. Judging by her obsequious appearance, she is just a stepdaughter of the Lin family. She can't be accomplished in literature or martial arts. She still wants to be promoted?"
"She also wants to climb high?"
Except for Guan Jin who frowned, everyone laughed cheerfully.
Guan Jin couldn't help but look at Lin Xi in the distance again, she was indeed chatting with Xu Moran the whole time.
On the other side, Lin Xi didn't know at all that she had become a merchant's daughter in the eyes of outsiders, so in order to climb up, she began to climb up to the second miss of the Xu family.
Xu Moran smiled and asked her, "Why are you so poor in English?"
Lin Xi shrugged helplessly: "It's because of my poor foundation that I didn't start to learn English until I was in junior high school."
"Ah?" Xu Moran was slightly surprised: "No way?"
Lin Xi paused, and was about to explain.
Xu Moran smiled again: "But it's understandable, you study late, don't worry, I won't look down on you."
Lin Xi smiled: "Thank you."
Originally, she followed Mother Lin into the Lin family. She had just started studying at that time, and she didn't have much academic skills. Later, she was forced by her family to enter the university as an art student, and her grades were naturally poor.
But in fact, her English is not good because...
She had never been exposed to English in elementary school, and she couldn't keep up with it in junior high school, so she was forced to memorize it by rote. Until she went to university, her English level was just barely enough to pass the exam.
"Are you really married?" Xu Moran looked at her curiously, and then looked around: "What about your Omega, is she here?"
Lin Xi smiled and shook her head: "No, she's busy with work, either she has to work overtime, or...go to a friend's party."
"Ah?" Xu Moran was a little bit aggrieved for her: "She didn't tell you where she went?"
Lin Xi's expression was a little lost for a moment, and he responded muffledly: "Ang."
"Oh, don't be like this. Even if you are married, you need each other's privacy. It's okay."
Facing her sudden comfort, Lin Xi felt a little funny: "It's as if you were married?"
"Then I study psychology," Xu Moran thought of something: "I knew a professor when I was abroad, as long as someone stood in front of her, everything would be hidden."
"Really? Are you talking about the protagonist of a psychological TV series?"
"How is it possible? Have you heard of Cheng Chumo?"
Lin Xi blinked, Cheng Chumo?
Chu Muqing's...that sister?
Or is it just a duplicate name?
If it was really the same person, Chu Muqing said that Cheng Chumo wanted to meet her.
Lin Xi's mind was full of thoughts, and a hazy idea gradually took shape in her mind. Chu Muqing suspected that she had a psychological problem, and that's why her attitude towards her became more and more relaxed these days?
Her mind almost buzzed.
"Lin Xi?" Xu Moran asked her, "What's wrong with you?"
Lin Xi shook his head: "No, I'm just a little thirsty."
"Then drink?"
"okay."
"What's the matter with you? Absent-minded."
As Xu Moran said, he poked her arm again: "Why do you smell sandalwood?"
Lin Xi swallowed a glass of champagne, and couldn't help licking his lower lip: "It must have been in the office."
"But didn't you come here after taking a shower and changing your dress? How could it be stained by the office? Could it be—"
Although the smell is very mild and strangely similar to sandalwood, it is not impossible...
Xu Moran froze for a moment, then thought of something.
She is an Omega, and asking the other party what the Alpha pheromone smells like is obviously impolite or seductive.
She was on the verge of speaking, and asked her again: "Do you have a blocker?"
Lin Xi:? ? ?
What is she doing with that thing?
Lin Xi responded casually: "I brought it with me, I just bought it."
Xu Moran didn't suspect him, and tried again: "Then do you want to go to the bathroom?"
After Xu Moran finished speaking, he sniffed the air carefully, and the smell was gone again.
It should be... She was thinking too much.
In this world, how can there be Alpha's pheromone taste similar to sandalwood?
How abstinent is that...
,
Lin Xi felt that something was wrong with her, the drowsy feeling in her mind seemed very strong, and her mood went up and down in an instant.
She originally wanted to go to the bathroom to wash her face and clear her mind, but the auction started soon.
Mother Lin's words magnified infinitely in her mind, reminding her loudly: "Try to raise the price."
Knowing that she is not interested in these collections, I let her handle them by herself.
Lin Xi shook his head, this wine...is really too strong.
However, she only drank two glasses, which caused such a reaction. Sure enough, after abstaining from alcohol for too long, her body's reaction became very obvious after drinking.
Fortunately, the moment the host stepped onto the stage, the panic in her heart eased a lot.
After taking several deep breaths in a row, she finally regained consciousness.
The feeling just now was like being in the deep sea, and even breathing became difficult in an instant.
Never drink again in the future, never!
In the banquet hall, all the lights dimmed in an instant, and dazzling beams of lights gathered in the direction of the podium. In the introduction of the host, the first collection provided by Mrs. Guan for this auction also made its debut.
It was a sapphire necklace, and the moment the light flickered past, the uneasiness in her heart surged up again.
The dizziness in his mind also became more and more intense, and he directly missed the host's introduction to the collection.
After taking another deep breath, she heard a lot of conversation from the crowd. Lin Xiqiang strained his consciousness to listen, and it was only through everyone's whispering that he realized what the host had just introduced.
The starting price of that necklace was 450 million. It was once worn by a certain foreign princess.
For a while, no one raised their cards.
Lin Xi really didn't have the strength, so he could only signal to the butler behind him, and the butler immediately raised his sign.
The host immediately said excitedly: "Miss Lin Xi bids 500 million."
At this time, he saw the distance, and immediately said: "Miss Guan Jin bid 550 million."
Lin Xi gestured to the butler again, and the butler raised his sign again.
"Miss Lin Xi offered 600 million yuan."
"Miss Guan Jin offered 650 million yuan."
"Miss Lin Xi offered 700 million yuan."
"Miss Guan Jin bid 750 million!!"
Everyone thought that when the bidding reached here, no one would raise their placards anymore.
At this time, the host said excitedly: "Mr. Mo Beichen, bid 800 million!"
Not far away, as soon as the host finished shouting, Chu Jinglan pulled the arm of the man beside him.
"Are you crazy? Who are you buying this thing for?" Chu Jinglan looked at him in surprise: "You don't want to give it to your sister, do you?"
Mo Beichen pushed his hand away impatiently, without saying a word.
Chu Jinglan became more and more unwilling: "You can't bear to buy me a skirt, and now you are taking such an expensive necklace?"
Lin Xi was still distracted at first, but when he heard Mo Beichen's name, he sneered instantly.
She continued to signal the housekeeper to raise the placard, anyway, it was for charity, and Mrs. Lin asked her to bid at a high price, so she could only do so.
Sure enough, after she raised her placard again, Mo Beichen didn't bid again.
Instead, it became a competition between her and Guan Jin, and the price was raised to 950 million in a short while.
"Miss Lin Xi bid 950 million yuan, may I ask who else is bidding?"
The host was full of excitement and looked at the audience.
There is still a shortfall of 50. As long as someone raises the card again, this necklace will reach 1000 million!
Not far away, Guan Jin looked coldly in the direction of Lin Xi's chair.
He frowned suddenly, this person... Was he trying to challenge her on purpose?
"Hehe, this guy really wants to steal the limelight, did she do it on purpose?"
"Who says no, she knows how to be charitable, and even asks the housekeeper to raise a sign. Is she a baby?"
"Giant baby!"
Guan Jin hesitated, and couldn't help but cast a glance at Chu Muqing who was at the next table not far away.
She also told Chu Muqing just now that she wanted to take a photo of this necklace and give it to Chu Muqing.
however……
Lin Xi was deliberately asking her for a price, seeing that she was about to raise the price to 600 million for something that could have been won for 1000 million.
Guan Jin frowned again.
The assistant behind him stepped forward cautiously, and whispered in her ear, "Miss Guan, the third miss of the Lin family will definitely not hand over something that the third miss of the Lin family has taken care of. I think it's still..."
Guan Jin snorted coldly, and secretly hated: "A murderer, what right does he have to show off his might?"
The assistant was taken aback: "What did you say?"
"It's nothing, no more, just give it to her if she likes it!"
The assistant paused, but still reminded: "Miss Guan, please be careful, after all..."
Guan Jin looked at him coldly, took another deep breath, and said, "I was talking nonsense."
At this time, the excited voice of the host came from the podium again: "Miss Lin Xi bids 950 million!"
"Everyone here, is there anyone who continues to raise placards?"
On the other side, Mo Beichen was hesitating whether to continue raising the placard.
Mo Beichen could see clearly that the Miss Lin Xi that the host was talking about was the woman who married Chu Muqing.
He is really not reconciled!
Whether it was out of jealousy or resentment, he didn't want to lose to her this time.
He gritted his teeth and was about to raise his hand.
Chu Jinglan slapped him on the arm: "You're crazy! If you do, what kind of money will we spend to buy the house in Lin Ming Jin Yuan!"
Mo Beichen calmed down again.
At the master's seat, Xu Moran smiled, leaned into Lin Xi's ear and asked her: "Sister, who do you want to send?"
Lin Xi smiled back: "My wife, she doesn't seem to have worn any necklaces before. If I take a picture and give it to her, she will be happy."
Xu Moran leaned forward and back with a smile, looking from a distance, as if he was about to laugh in Lin Xi's arms.
The host's voice came again: "Miss Lin Xi offered 950 million yuan! There are still people—"
At this time, no one noticed that a dignified and elegant lady in the corner slowly raised a sign.
The host's eyes lit up, and he became even more excited and said, "Miss Chu Muqing, the bid is 1000 million!!"
Guan Jin: ...
Mo Beichen: ...
Lin Xi: ………………………?
