Rose Manor

It was a bit cool in the exhibition hall hall. Shen Jianian had a shawl draped over his bare shoulders just right. He glanced casually and unexpectedly collided with Yin Shuyao's gaze.

It was annoying to look at him even more, so Shen Jianian quickly withdrew his gaze and lowered his head to straighten the hem of his shawl.

Someone walked quickly to the table. He was wearing a black business suit and silver thin-rimmed glasses. He was over forty years old and had a gentle and elegant temperament.He was the organizer of the auction, and he came to say hello, with a hint of goodwill in his words.

Fu Jichen looked indifferent, raised his hand slightly and said, "Just follow the rules, I'm just here to join in the fun."

The supervisor was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said with a smile: "Then I won't disturb you."

Shen Jianian glanced at Fu Jichen. He picked up the teacup and took a sip, then turned to smile at her: "What, is there anything you like?"

"No." Shen Jianian said these two words for the third time tonight.

Yin Shuyao and Qin Fan sat at a round table not far from the first place. The people at the table were all well-known wealthy businessmen.

The Yin family used to be of low quality, and Yin Shuyao didn't recognize any of these people. He just listened quietly to Qin Fan's conversation with them, unable to interrupt.

From time to time, he glanced at the first person, and he could always see the stern-faced man smiling at Shen Jia Nian, tilting his head slightly to talk to her. Shen Jia Nian's expression was neither cold nor hot.

Yin Shuyao pursed her lips, feeling uncomfortable.

In the past, she was no match for Shen Jia Nian. Now that Shen Jia Nian has lost everything, she has transformed into the young mistress of the Qin family. She should be so prosperous, so why is she still jealous of her?

The auction started, and the auctioneer came on stage with a microphone and introduced the first item of the day, a set of jewelry from a well-known French designer, a sapphire and pearl necklace, bracelet, and earrings.The central pendant of the necklace is a huge sapphire surrounded by diamonds, and the chain is made up of round pearls.The sapphires on the bracelets and earrings are smaller.

The sapphire is clear and the pearl is lustrous. When paired together, they show nobility and elegance.

The bidding started and there were constant calls for bids in the venue.

The starting price was 300 million, and the price doubled in the blink of an eye.

Fu Jichen tapped his fingers on the edge of the table, tilted his shoulders to one side, and asked Shen Jianian, "Do you like it?"

Shen Jianian shook his head.

Lu Yanzhi sat on the other side, looking past Fu Jichen in the middle to Shen Jianian, somewhat confused about her.Fu Da's meaning was obvious. As long as she said "I like it", he would immediately hold up the sign and take a picture of it for her.

Even if you don’t like the style of jewelry worth millions, it’s still cost-effective to exchange it for cash in the future. Why not?
Not far away, Yin Shuyao looked at the exhibition stand with eyes fascinated. The set of jewelry in the glass display cabinet, even from a distance, could still clearly see the broken light reflected by the sapphire cut surface, which was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes away.The magnified details on the big screen made the ladies present even more excited.

Yin Shuyao pressed her hand on the bidding number, a little ready to move.

Qin Fan glanced at her, raised his lips and said, "Like it?"

Yin Shuyao looked up at him and was embarrassed to say it, but her expression and eyes told people around her that she liked this set of jewelry very much.

Qin Fan raised the bidding sign and called out the price: "500 million."

There were small exclamations at the scene, and everyone looked in this direction.

Yin Shuyao was slightly stunned.

She thought that Qin Fan was just asking and would not actually take pictures and give them to her.They are currently in a cold war phase and he treats her badly.

Not surprisingly, Yin Shuyao received envious looks from other ladies.

With her vanity satisfied, Yin Shuyao had a look of surprise and surprise on her face, and the corners of her lips couldn't stop rising.

The auctioneer raised his small hammer, looked at the audience, and said loudly: "Mr. Qin bids 500 million. Is there anything higher than 500 million? Fifteen million once, 500 million twice." , 500 million... three times! Transaction! Congratulations to Mr. Qin, for buying this set of jewelry called 'Sky Realm' for 500 million!"

Yin Shuyao was so excited that she couldn't sit still. She squeezed her handbag tightly, trying to maintain her composure.

She straightened her back and looked in the direction of Shen Jianian, feeling faintly proud.

Unfortunately, Shen Jianian didn't look at her.

Qin Fan glanced over and looked at Yin Shuyao as if he were a clown. A mocking smile appeared on his lips and he took out his mobile phone to send a message.

He didn't avoid Yin Shuyao. She saw the note at the top of his phone screen was "Xinxin baby" and the chat dialog box was a message he had just sent.

"I bought a set of jewelry for you at the auction. I'll give it to you next time we meet."

The next second, the other person sent a reply. Through the text, you can imagine how happy and excited the person was.

"Thank you honey, I love you so much! [Rose] [Kiss]"

Yin Shuyao's head buzzed and she stared at Qin Fan. Was he actually going to give such valuable jewelry to another woman after he took the photo?She couldn't accept it.

That’s 500 million!Is he crazy? !
"What are you looking at?" Qin Fan turned off the screen of his mobile phone and put it on the table. He admired Yin Shuyao's injured, shocked and angry expression, which was interesting. "I asked you if you like it, and I didn't say I would give it to you. You put on a show Who does this look for?"

"Qin Fan!" Yin Shuyao pinched her palms and tried to restrain herself. She was so angry that her whole body was shaking, but she had to worry about the other people at the same table and said in a low voice, "You don't need to use this method to humiliate me!"

Qin Fanli ignored her, leaned back on his chair, crossed his legs leisurely, and looked at the booth.

While the two were talking, another lot was sold, a late Qing Dynasty sky blue glaze vase, for a price as low as six figures.

Then, staff wearing white gloves brought up a cello.

Shen Jianian's eyes followed the cello and stopped in the center of the booth.

She had noticed a simple cello name in the booklet before, but now that she saw it with her own eyes, she confirmed that it was indeed Yan Qiusheng's cello.

Yan Qiusheng is a world-class cellist and Chinese-American. When she was 12 years old, he came to Beicheng to hold a concert, and she was fortunate enough to be brought to the venue by her parents.After the concert, her father asked her to go backstage to take a photo with Yan Qiusheng and also get his autograph.

After moving from Beicheng to Yicheng, the group photo disappeared.In recent years, Yan Qiusheng has disappeared, and I never expected to see his piano here.

In a brief moment of confusion, the price reached tens of millions. It seems that everyone knows Yan Qiusheng's reputation.His cello must have great collection value and significance.

Shen Jianian is a cello student himself, so he naturally knows more about it, but he doesn’t know who will end up with this violin. I hope it will be someone who really loves cello.

Fu Jichen was not interested in these and just drank tea. The tea prepared by the organizer was really good.

The moment he raised his eyes, he suddenly noticed that Shen Jiannian was looking straight at the stage, and there was a faint light dancing in his eyes, as if the people and scenery around him didn't exist.

Fu Jichen glanced at the cello thoughtfully.

"Mr. Song bids 600 million. Is there anything higher than 600 million?" The auctioneer raised his hammer and inspected the venue as usual, "Twenty-six million once..."

Fu Jichen picked up the bidding number on the table for the first time tonight: "3000 million."

A price increase of 400 million at a time is not something ordinary people can possess.

Shen Jianian turned to look at the person next to her in surprise. She didn't even notice when he held up the sign: "Why did you buy a cello?"

She didn't think he was that elegant.

Fu Jichen said in a matter-of-fact tone: "You don't like it?"

Shen Jianian paused for a long time and said nothing.She likes the cello made by Yan Qiusheng, she just appreciates it, there is no need to own it.

"I already have my own cello." Shen Jianian said.

"Exchange it."

Shen Jia Nian looked at him. Did he know that it was Yan Qiusheng's cello? It belonged to a world-class cellist. It would be a waste of natural resources for her to use it.

"I don't want it." Shen Jianian said bluntly.

Fu Jichen said clearly: "Don't just keep it at home as a decoration."

Shen Jia Nian had nothing to say.When someone wanted to buy it and put it at home, she had no reason or position to persuade them.

Lu Yanzhi heard the conversation between the two and looked away. He probably shouldn't be sitting here, he looked like a light bulb.

The auctioneer on the stage raised his hand to signal to Fu Jichen's table: "Mr. Fu bids 3000 million, 3000 million once..." Before he finished speaking, another sign was raised, and the auctioneer immediately changed his words, "Mr. Song increased the price again. The current price of this cello is 100 million!"

Fu Jichen put down his tea cup, not even bothering to hold up the sign, and spoke slowly: "Thirty-six million."

This time it was increased by 500 million!

Everyone in the audience gasped, their eyes turning back and forth between Fu Jichen and Mr. Song.

Mr. Song knew that he could not compete with the Fu family, so he put down the bidding number in his hand.

The auctioneer quoted the price three times in a row, but no one raised the price. In the end, Fu Jichen won the cello.

Yin Shuyao was angry for a long time, and after witnessing this wonderful auction, her heart became even more blocked.Shen Jia Nian studied cello, and it is self-evident for whom Fu Jichen took the cello photo.

She had just quarreled with Qin Fan over 500 million, and Fu Jichen spent 600 million to make Shen Jia Nian happy. The comparison between the two made her pitiful and pathetic.

She, a serious wealthy lady, is not as good as Shen Jia Nian, the down-and-out daughter.

*
During the intermission of the auction, people were walking around, going to the restroom, enjoying a simple meal in the buffet dining area, and chatting together in small groups.

Fu Jichen got a call and went out, and Lu Yanzhi was nowhere to be found, leaving Shen Jia Nian sitting alone.

She glanced around the venue, took off the shawl from her shoulders, balled it up on a chair, and walked towards the buffet area.

Stopping at the long dining table, Shen Jianian took out a small plate of snacks from the three-story shelf, held it in his hand and took a sip. The refreshing aroma of mung beans mixed with osmanthus spread between his teeth and cheeks.

After finishing a piece of snack, Shen Jianian picked up a glass of juice and turned around. Unexpectedly, someone approached from behind and almost bumped into him.Fortunately, she reacted quickly and took a step back in time without actually hitting anyone.

Unfortunately, half the glass of juice in his hand spilled out, and it splashed onto the man's suit.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it." Shen Jianian's calm expression showed a hint of panic, and he quickly picked up the napkin from the table and handed it over, "Please wipe it quickly."

The middle-aged man who had been splashed with juice had an angry look on his face. After seeing Shen Jianian's face clearly, he paused slightly and then turned to be surprised and interested in her.

"Whose daughter is this? I've never seen her before."

The middle-aged man had just arrived and missed the first half of the auction. He didn't know that Shen Jia Nian came here with Fu Jichen. He had never seen her on other occasions before. Seeing that her attitude was so cautious and respectful, and she didn't have the aloofness of those daughters of aristocratic families, he mistakenly thought that she was just trying to get rid of him. Little stars or internet celebrities come in.

"I'm very sorry." Shen Jianian said again.

She didn't want to cause trouble for Fu Jichen, she just wanted to settle the matter quickly.

The middle-aged man touched the corner of his lips, took a step forward, and got closer to her. He spoke teasingly: "The juice was spilled by the lady. Shouldn't the lady clean it up?"

Yin Shuyao had already seen the movement here. She held her elbow with her left hand and gently shook the slender goblet with her right hand, as if she was watching a show at leisure.

Shen Jianian's face was once the source of her jealousy, and it still was.However, everything has two sides. Beauty can bring benefits and also bring disasters.

The scene before me is a good example.

Yin Shuyao took a sip of red wine and stared at that spot for a moment, secretly hoping that Shen Jia Nian would be humiliated in public by the old pervert and make Fu Jichen hate him.
