Chapter 718 189
In fact, no one needs to mention this fact, Su Chen knows it clearly in his heart.
It's just that Su Chen never thought of using this word to describe it. The limited words she can think of are at best her private life is messy, a secretary in a certain position can't find a job in her position, and Mu Chengjun has many women... …
She wanted to pretend that she didn't hear it, but her heart was pierced by these words.
Mu Chengjun brought her out, in the eyes of others, it is also a ridiculous thing, right?
Su Chen clenched the handbag on her lap, her eyes were lowered, but she couldn't make others shut up, so various voices came over.
The man sitting in the first row didn't say anything, he just brought up this topic, but this topic was already attractive enough, and everyone was happy to discuss it during the waiting time.
"He brought a woman out in such a high profile now, but the matter of the Ling family has not been resolved yet?"
"If you think too much, even if Ling Shiyin is still alive, when will he be able to control him? Why don't you still spend your days and nights..."
The middle-aged man looked not far away and saw his daughter talking with a familiar elder. He didn't get involved in the conversation, so he turned to look at Su Chen.
"Do you know this woman?" A man asked curiously.
"do not know."
"Which one?"
"No matter which family they belong to, they all have a bad name and a mistress background."
Su Chen couldn't help shivering, the air conditioner in the room seemed to be fully turned on, even though she was wearing such a cheongsam, she was still shivering from the cold.
Not only Mu Chengjun was attacked, but she was also attacked.
The middle-aged man smiled. The people of the Xin family all had a smell of books, which was related to the hobbies they cultivated for themselves. He said lightly, "It's a waste of time to discuss such things. Maybe other people’s interest is not as long as that little bit of gossip.”
"That's right, maybe next time we meet again, we will change to a different woman..."
After Mu Chengjun made the phone call, he walked in from the outside. The voices of the unscrupulous discussion just now stopped abruptly, and the lobby became inexplicably quiet. Su Chen looked up, she should be relieved, but her heart seemed to be covered with cotton. As if blocked, she couldn't relax as if she was at home.
The slender figure of the man came towards this side step by step. The group of people sat comfortably on the chairs and looked at the auction manual in their hands. It could be seen that they were afraid of Mu Chengjun, otherwise, their mocking There is no need to avoid him at all.
The middle-aged man sitting in the front row had a sneer on his lips. A group of villains who only dared to talk behind their backs met Mu Chengjun, and they all looked like turtles. After all, a person's power is his With all the confidence, at least he can make people shut up in front of him!
Mu Chengjun sat back beside Su Chen, and she looked up at him, "Is it about to start?"
"Well," the man raised his watch and looked at his eyes, "it will be a little earlier, about 5 minutes."
"Take a random picture or two later, and then leave early."
"What's wrong?" Mu Chengjun asked.
Su Chen subconsciously touched the collarbone, "It's nothing, I just want to go back soon."
Mu Chengjun stretched out his hand to hold her palm, his palm was very warm, "Are you nervous?"
She hurriedly wanted to withdraw her hand, but Mu Chengjun clenched it even harder. She was not used to his behavior, and always felt that he didn't look like Mu Chengjun, "It's hot, let go."
"Your hands are so cold, I'll cover them for you."
A man sitting in front looked back, Mu Chengjun glanced over coldly, the other quickly turned his head away.
When the opening was approaching, Su Chen saw someone coming in from the door. She saw a very beautiful woman. She seemed to be able to describe it in this way, because she couldn't find any other words besides beautiful.
Several people got up one after another and greeted respectfully, "Mr. Jiang, Mrs. Jiang."
Jiang Yuanzhou nodded, and then took the woman beside him to sit down.
Xu Qingshen wore a simple dress, her collarbone protruded, her figure was exquisite, and her face was slightly powdered, which made her look so beautiful.She sat down and looked at the time, "Is it too late?"
"Why is it too late?"
Xu Qing frowned slightly, "I have an operation tonight."
"No need to go there, I have already arranged for someone else to do it."
"why?"
Jiang Yuanzhou stretched out his arms and put his arms around Xu Qingshen's slender waist. He rubbed his palms on her waist, "They are all about to get married, and they still have operations all day long. They will be on vacation starting tomorrow."
"So, tonight is the last one."
"I don't think anyone will treat you anymore. Are you planning to stay on the operating table on the day of your wedding?"
Xu Qingshen pushed his hand away, "Next time, don't change my operation randomly..."
Su Chen looked away, and the charity auction started. She realized that Mu Chengjun was still holding her hand, so she struggled away, and then held the handbag in front of her with both hands.The man glanced at her, and then cast his gaze forward.
The auction quickly got on track. The first work was handmade. Su Chen looked at the screen and saw that it was all children's works. The colorful handmade windmills were inserted in a cardboard box. The starting price was [-].
Everyone came here to donate money, so no one cares about what is photographed.
Some people really want to do charity, and some people want to establish a good image more than anything else, but no matter what the purpose is, the result is good.
Someone started bidding, from five thousand to six thousand, and then to ten thousand.
Xu Qingshen raised the sign in her hand, "50."
The corner of Jiang Yuanzhou's mouth moved, he took a lot of things in a year, 50 is the minimum amount, but in this case, it is definitely a considerable number.
The young man presiding over the auction said in a high voice, "50, 50! Is there any price increase? 50 once——"
No one raised their cards again, everyone's brains are quite normal, there are no pitfalls, this is not a must, and even if it is a must, without the strong financial resources and courage, who would dare to grab it with Jiang Yuanzhou?
"50 million three times, deal!"
with no doubt.
The scene applauded loudly, Xu Qingshen looked at Jiang Yuanzhou, "Does your heart hurt?"
"You underestimate me too."
"Then I will increase the price next time, and I will call for 500 million."
The man laughed, "No, you don't want to."
"Now, please invite the winners to come on stage, and invite the children who participated in this work, please send out gifts, okay?"
Xu Qingshen saw other people's eyes looking over, she stretched out her hand to hold Jiang Yuanzhou's palm for help. "you go."
"You shouted, why did you let me go?"
"so many people……"
Jiang Yuanzhou took the lead and applauded again. "My wife is a little embarrassed, everyone encourages and encourages."
After his words were settled, the applause sounded again, Xu Qingshen's face became hot, Jiang Yuanzhou raised his brows lightly at her, "Come on."
Xu Qing pulled down the hem of her skirt, stood up and walked forward. When she reached the stage, a little boy was waiting for her holding the cardboard box. Xu Qing showed her face, squatted down, and took the box.
The little boy went down quickly, Xu Qingshen stood up, and the man who hosted the auction next to him passed the microphone to Xu Qingshen, "Mrs. Jiang, please say something."
Xu Qingshen took the microphone, holding the cardboard box with one hand, "I have two children, a son and a daughter, they will like such a windmill, I hope all children can go to school, under the same sky, even if fate Abandoned them, but there are still people willing to help them."
She didn't say much, after finishing these words, she was ready to go down.
Xu Qingshen glanced at the audience, and said again, "And thanks to the kid just now, you made a very good windmill."
She handed the microphone back to the man next to her, and went down with the cardboard box in her arms.
Back on the seat, Jiang Yuanzhou took the cardboard box, Xu Qingshen took out a windmill, she took a breath, and watched the leaves of the windmill start to run.
The auction was still going on, and Mu Chengjun put the cards in Su Chen's lap. "You come."
"No, I can't."
"It's just a price call, what's wrong?"
One after another, some people took pictures of a few things. An oil painting appeared on the big screen. The painting was very good. The lines of the peaches were drawn just right, there was also a home hidden in the sun, and several characters with different expressions.
Mu Chengjun leaned closer to her ear and said, "We must gain something today, don't end up with nothing in the picture."
Su Chen took a look, picked up the sign on her lap and held it up, she motioned to Mu Chengjun with her eyes, "How much should I bid?"
"up to you."
The base price is [-], and you can add it at will, and you can add it round after round. It's not bad to call a high price in one step.
Su Chen shouted [-], and got it successfully.
When Mu Chengjun asked her to get up on the stage, she felt extremely awkward, but she could only comfort herself that tonight was a bit of a success, and she could have an explanation when she went back.
When they came to the stage, the man in charge of the auction invited the young artist of the painting to the stage. Su Chen saw a well-behaved little girl. She took the painting and walked up to Su Chen step by step.
Mu Chengjun looked out, a little sullen, he had just seen clearly which seat the little girl stood up from, and who was sitting next to her seat now.
"Sister, thank you for your kindness. Good people are rewarded with good things. On behalf of the children in the mountains, I would like to say thank you."
Su Chen didn't expect the little girl to be able to talk so much, she couldn't help showing off her face, and took the painting from her hand. "Thank you too, half of your credit, your painting is really good."
Su Chen thought she could leave, but apparently the man next to her deliberately left some time for them, "Little friend, tell us what your name is?"
"My name is Xin Sinian."
"Then what is the meaning of your painting?"
"Yes," the little girl tilted her head and looked at the painting. Seeing this, Su Chen handed the painting back to her.The little girl pointed to a place in the painting. "This is my home, this is my peach tree, this is my father and mother, and my sister."
Su Chen noticed that there was a young woman in the painting, she glanced down the stage, "Is your sister here?"
Mu Chengjun couldn't help clenching the palm hanging by his side. In the spacious hall, the air became thinner and thinner, as if it could suffocate at any time.The man in the front seat was motionless, but his eye circles were a little red. He stared fixedly at the stage. He saw his daughter shaking her head.
"No, my sister won't come over, and you won't see her either."
"Why?" The man who presided over the auction squatted down and asked.
The little girl had a sore nose and red eyes, "Actually, even I have never seen my sister. My mother said she is in heaven and she is an angel. There are pictures of my sister at home. She is really beautiful. I think my mother lied. Because the angels I saw on TV are not as good-looking as my sister. My parents have different opinions. My mother said that God likes my sister, so he took her away, but my father said that my sister was killed by someone.”
On such an occasion, no one would have expected that the little girl would say such words. There was an uproar at the scene, and the little girl burst into tears very quickly.
Su Chen stared blankly, at a loss for what to do, she pulled the little girl into her arms, "Hey, don't cry."
"Sister, why do you think there are bad people in the world? Why did you kill my sister?"
Mu Chengjun gritted his teeth, clenched his hands tightly, every inch of his gaze was icy cold, he felt that someone was dragging his shoulders, and was about to push him hard into the ice water.His eardrums filled with cries, getting shriller and more painful.
The man sitting in the front row suddenly got up, and he strode towards the stage.
When he came to the little girl's side, he stretched out his hand to help Su Chen who was squatting up first, and then squatted back to his daughter's side, "Missing, don't cry, the matter of my sister is over long ago, don't cry."
"Dad, I just think of my sister, and I'm sad."
The man pulled the painting out of the girl's hand and handed it to Su Chen, who took it hesitantly.
"Sorry," the man said to her, "My daughter is usually very sensible, and I don't know what's wrong today."
"No, she is still very sensible today, and I'm fine." Su Chen said.
Mu Chengjun's stiff legs moved, he stood up, and walked forward step by step.He felt that every step he took was like stepping on a sharp knife, lingering at him one after another, making him in agony.He came to the stage and walked towards Su Chen. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he and the Xin family had met. He didn't expect to meet here tonight.
The shame and grief in Mu Chengjun's heart welled up. The man standing next to the little girl stood up and looked at him, "It turns out that this lady was brought by Mr. Mu."
Mu Chengjun clenched his palms tightly and his knuckles creaked. Su Chen didn't know the grudge between the two of them at all. She glanced at Mu Chengjun's face, but froze.
She saw something wrong in the man's eyes, it seemed that there were turbulent waves beating, and there seemed to be mixed with sadness and pain, and more, it was still anger, and all kinds of emotions were tossed over and over again.Su Chen was a little surprised, "Cheng Jun?"
The little girl stopped crying and snuggled up to the man.
The middle-aged man stared at Mu Chengjun with the same indifference on his face as before, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth. Mu Chengjun couldn't see such a gaze. The only time he was humiliated in his life was because of him, and he was the one who directed it...
Mu Chengjun pulled Su Chen's arm, and then his eyes fell on the child.
This should be a child adopted by the Xin family. When she made such a move on stage today, did she really think of her sister, or was she guided by an adult?
Mu Chengjun sneered, "I miss your sister that much?"
The little girl nodded. "Um."
Mu Chengjun lowered his voice and said to the girl, "Then do you want uncle to send you to see her?"
Hearing this, the man's face was ashen, and he resisted the impulse to hug the girl up.Su Chen was also taken aback. She didn't expect Mu Chengjun to say such a thing. Mu Chengjun took her hand and walked down the stage.
The two returned to their seats, the auction was still going on, and Mu Chengjun looked forward with a sullen face.
The middle-aged man brought the girl back to the place where he was sitting, and the little girl snuggled up to his side.
Seeing this, another man next to him asked softly, "Do you have any grudges against Mr. Mu?"
The man's eyelids moved slightly, and he didn't look over his head, "Why do you ask like that?"
"I heard it just now. I heard Mr. Mu say whether he wants to send your daughter to see..."
The man's eyes were dark and thick, and he outlined the corners of his lower lip. "He was joking."
"Looking at his expression, it doesn't look like he's joking."
"They took pictures of my daughter's paintings. Besides, how old is my daughter? Can you still offend him?"
"Too."
The man's eyes fell back to the stage, "Don't guess casually, the Xin family has nothing to do with the Mu family, let alone any enmity."
Even if there was a grudge, it was completely gone. The two families agreed to write it off, and no one could break this rule first.
Su Chen heard the high-pitched voice of the young man who presided over the auction. Tonight is indeed a good harvest. Mu Chengjun's [-] yuan is considered a big deal. As long as the next auction goes well, he will be able to raise a lot of money for charity.
Su Chen glanced at the painting in his hand, and saw Mu Chengjun's hands on his knees from the corner of his eye. His fingers were trembling, and he wanted to clenched it tightly, but he couldn't seem to use the strength to hold it.
She didn't know what happened at all, Su Chen's eyes then fell on Mu Chengjun's face, the line of his side face was tense, Su Chen whispered, "Mu Chengjun?"
The man stared at the front, motionless, and she put her hand on the back of his hand. "Mu Chengjun?"
Mu Chengjun glanced at her. "I'm fine."
In the front row, Xu Qingshen was playing with the windmill in his hand, "Isn't the scene just now a bit strange?"
"What's so strange?" Jiang Yuanzhou said calmly.
"I don't believe you can't see it."
"I really can't see it." He didn't want to care about things that had nothing to do with Jiang Yuanzhou, so naturally he couldn't see who was wrong.
After the auction, there will be a thank-you banquet, which is prepared by the organizer. Although a chef is also invited, the ingredients are all sent by others. There are vegetables, rice, oil, sweet potatoes, etc. sent by the sponsor’s home. Dinner can be said to be extremely simple.
Su Chen followed Mu Chengjun to the infield. The man was very stiff, she could tell at a glance.
Su Chen hurriedly grabbed Mu Chengjun's arm. "Let's go home, or go out and get something to eat."
"You want to go?"
"I think you're a little bit wrong, what's wrong with you?"
Mu Chengjun shook his head, "No, I'm fine."
He turned his eyes to the distance and saw the man from just now walking through the crowd with his daughter. The father and daughter were holding hands. Someone congratulated him, "Congratulations, a painting of Missing sold for [-] yuan. It's a good candidate." Ah, there must be something promising in the future."
"Thank you."
There was no need for Mu Chengjun to run away. Everyone was in Dongcheng, and encounters on the scene were inevitable. He couldn't turn around and leave.
He glanced at Su Chen beside him, "Are you hungry? I'll take you vegetarian today."
"Are you all right?"
"I've been fine."
Su Chen smiled and followed Mu Chengjun forward.
There was an arranged list on the round table in the inner hall, and Mu Chengjun led Su Chen to sit down. The dinner was simple, but after being processed by the chef, the taste was first-class.Su Chen was halfway through eating and wanted to go to the bathroom. Seeing that she was about to get up, Mu Chengjun asked her a question. "Where are you going?"
"Go to the bathroom."
"I will go with you."
The man stood up, and Su Chen followed him with his bag. When he arrived at the bathroom door, Mu Chengjun leaned on one side, took out a cigarette, "Go in, I'll wait for you outside."
"You're not going in?"
"Ah."
Su Chen felt strange, so why did he come out with him?She walked in, and Mu Chengjun was smoking a cigarette outside. He just didn't want Su Chen to be left alone. If someone deliberately wanted to say or do something to her, he was afraid that she wouldn't be able to handle it.
After finishing a cigarette, Su Chen came out, and Mu Chengjun stubbed out the cigarette. "alright?"
"Well, all right."
"Let's go."
Su Chen felt a little funny, "You are afraid that I will get lost, aren't you?"
"It's best if you lose it," Mu Chengjun said walking in front, "It also saves me the effort to kick you out."
"It's really hard to talk to you." Su Chen said dissatisfied.
The man stood still in front and looked back at her, "I'm just kidding you."
"It's useless to explain, I know you want me to leave Mu's house." Su Chen said, passing by his side, Mu Chengjun walked a few steps, "You can't take jokes any more."
Su Chen walked in front, the door of the banquet hall was open, she walked to the door, suddenly a small figure rushed over and bumped into her arms, Mu Chengjun saw her stop from a distance, but didn't See what's going on.
Su Chen heard a bang sound in her ears, she looked down and saw the little girl who was on the stage just now, the little girl was holding a teacup in her hand, but the lid of the teacup fell on the ground and broke.
She got up in a hurry, and knelt down to pick it up. Seeing this, Su Chen hurriedly bent down, "Don't pick it up, be careful not to cut your hands."
"No, it can't be broken," the little girl held the broken cover, almost crying, "it's not mine, it's very expensive, it can't be broken."
"It's just a cover. If it breaks, you can buy it again." Su Chen held her little hand, "Get up."
"No, I can't," the little girl was so anxious that her eye circles turned red, and tears fell down, "I poured water for others, this can't be broken, my father told me to be careful, saying that it was the uncle's baby... ..."
When Su Chen heard this, she didn't know how to persuade her, "Even if you need to pour water, you should go to the waitress sister, you are such a small child..."
"What's wrong?" Mu Chengjun stepped forward and asked.
Su Chen looked up at him, "The lid of the teacup is broken, I'm in a hurry here."
Mu Chengjun looked at the ground expressionlessly, the little girl squatted there and kept wiping her tears, he bent down and took Su Chen's hand, "None of your business."
It's none of her business, when she came in, the little girl bumped into her, but hearing Mu Chengjun's tone, Su Chen couldn't help but speak. "She cried like this just for a teacup."
"I want to be good," the little girl couldn't help wiping away her tears, "If my father finds out, he will definitely teach me again. I don't want to be bad."
"It has nothing to do with whether you are good or not," Su Chen persuaded, "It was carelessness, it was accident."
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" the girl is weeping very sadly.
Not far away, several people came over. Xin Shixun strode forward, glanced at Su Chen and Mu Chengjun, and then fell to the ground, "What's going on?"
The little girl flinched and raised her head slowly, "Dad, Dad—"
"Why did you hit the cup?" Xin Shixun bent down and clasped the girl's arm, the girl carefully held the teacup, the face of the person next to Xin Shixun changed slightly, "Hey, I told you not to pour me tea, you kid insisted Hurry up, this is all right..."
The girl's thinking is very simple, she just wants to perform well and let everyone praise her in front of her father. She didn't expect that when she walked here, she would accidentally slip on the sole of her foot, let alone put her The lid fell off.
"Forget it." The man could only say this despite his displeasure.
"I'm sorry, I'll pay you another day."
"If you pay, you don't have to pay," the man said to Xin Shixun, "I finally got this, and I can't buy the exact same one."
When the girl heard this, her face turned pale with fright. Mu Chengjun took Su Chen's hand and wanted to leave. Seeing this, the girl snuggled towards Xin Shixun. "It's...it's this sister, she bumped me, and the cup fell out, and I couldn't grab the lid..."
Su Chen was slightly startled, and Mu Chengjun narrowed his narrow eyes, "Say it again?"
"It's true, Dad, it was this sister who hit me."
Su Chen saw that the panic on the girl's face hadn't faded away. After all, she was still a child, and she was still a child who was trying hard to be recognized by adults.She seems to have nothing to say, is she going to argue with a child?
Xin Shixun glanced at Mu Chengjun, and put his arm on the girl's shoulder. "Don't be afraid."
Of course, the owner of the cup also knew Mu Chengjun, and when he heard this, he immediately changed his face, "So it's Mr. Mu, it doesn't matter, it's just a cup, forget it."
Mu Chengjun was expressionless, "What do you mean it was Mr. Mu? Could it be that I threw your cup?"
"I didn't mean that, it's just a cup, not enough..." The man looked at Su Chen while he was speaking. He knew that Su Chen was Mu Chengjun's girlfriend, so he gave her this face, but with his glance, It was like believing the little girl's words.
"It's not enough, is it?" Mu Chengjun took the words.
"Yes Yes."
Mu Chengjun sneered, "It's just something we haven't done. Why should we admit it? It's not like this to splash dirty water."
"This……"
Xin Shixun patted his daughter on the shoulder. "Missing, what's going on? Don't be afraid, to be honest, no one will tell you."
"Father, what I'm telling is the truth. This sister really hit me." Su Chen frowned, but Mu Chengjun was not satisfied with the answer, "Little girl, it's not good to lie."
Xin Shixun also showed displeasure on his face when he heard this, "Mr. Mu, if it is really my daughter's fault, I will tell her well, but why do you say she lied? It's still in front of so many people."
"Because the people I bring will not lie."
"That's weird. The two parties insist on their own words, and there is always one person who is not telling the truth."
The man whose cup was thrown had to stand up and make peace instead. "For a cup lid, it's not worth fussing about so much, let's go, let's eat."
Su Chen looked at the girl, but the little girl didn't dare to raise her eyes. She pressed her head, and her face was full of guilt.
She reached out and pulled Mu Chengjun's arm. "Forget it, let's go home."
The man nodded, and didn't want to tangle with others.
He held Su Chen's palm with his backhand, and was about to leave directly. Xin Shixun glanced at the mess on the ground, and said to the man next to him. "How much did you pay for this cup? I will pay for it."
"No, no need to say no."
"Of course you have to pay for things that fall, and you always have to bear the responsibility. Am I going to just walk away?"
Mu Chengjun paused, turned his head to look at Xin Shixun, "That's a good point, you have to take responsibility for what you do."
"No, it's Mr. Mu who refuses to admit it. As for me, based on the principle of educating my daughter, I am willing to pay for her."
Mu Chengjun pointed at the little girl, "Ask your own daughter, she's dishonest at such a young age, and it's a disaster when she grows up!"
"you--"
"Wow——" the little girl cried out suddenly, the voice was loud, and it exploded all at once.
"I didn't, I didn't lie, I didn't do it, it really has nothing to do with me—" She was so emotional that her little face flushed red, and she suddenly sat down on the ground.
Su Chen saw that something was wrong, why did the girl's face turn pale in an instant, and her crying stopped.
Xin Shixun was extremely anxious, he knelt down and hugged his daughter, "She has congenital heart disease, so don't get excited!"
(End of this chapter)
In fact, no one needs to mention this fact, Su Chen knows it clearly in his heart.
It's just that Su Chen never thought of using this word to describe it. The limited words she can think of are at best her private life is messy, a secretary in a certain position can't find a job in her position, and Mu Chengjun has many women... …
She wanted to pretend that she didn't hear it, but her heart was pierced by these words.
Mu Chengjun brought her out, in the eyes of others, it is also a ridiculous thing, right?
Su Chen clenched the handbag on her lap, her eyes were lowered, but she couldn't make others shut up, so various voices came over.
The man sitting in the first row didn't say anything, he just brought up this topic, but this topic was already attractive enough, and everyone was happy to discuss it during the waiting time.
"He brought a woman out in such a high profile now, but the matter of the Ling family has not been resolved yet?"
"If you think too much, even if Ling Shiyin is still alive, when will he be able to control him? Why don't you still spend your days and nights..."
The middle-aged man looked not far away and saw his daughter talking with a familiar elder. He didn't get involved in the conversation, so he turned to look at Su Chen.
"Do you know this woman?" A man asked curiously.
"do not know."
"Which one?"
"No matter which family they belong to, they all have a bad name and a mistress background."
Su Chen couldn't help shivering, the air conditioner in the room seemed to be fully turned on, even though she was wearing such a cheongsam, she was still shivering from the cold.
Not only Mu Chengjun was attacked, but she was also attacked.
The middle-aged man smiled. The people of the Xin family all had a smell of books, which was related to the hobbies they cultivated for themselves. He said lightly, "It's a waste of time to discuss such things. Maybe other people’s interest is not as long as that little bit of gossip.”
"That's right, maybe next time we meet again, we will change to a different woman..."
After Mu Chengjun made the phone call, he walked in from the outside. The voices of the unscrupulous discussion just now stopped abruptly, and the lobby became inexplicably quiet. Su Chen looked up, she should be relieved, but her heart seemed to be covered with cotton. As if blocked, she couldn't relax as if she was at home.
The slender figure of the man came towards this side step by step. The group of people sat comfortably on the chairs and looked at the auction manual in their hands. It could be seen that they were afraid of Mu Chengjun, otherwise, their mocking There is no need to avoid him at all.
The middle-aged man sitting in the front row had a sneer on his lips. A group of villains who only dared to talk behind their backs met Mu Chengjun, and they all looked like turtles. After all, a person's power is his With all the confidence, at least he can make people shut up in front of him!
Mu Chengjun sat back beside Su Chen, and she looked up at him, "Is it about to start?"
"Well," the man raised his watch and looked at his eyes, "it will be a little earlier, about 5 minutes."
"Take a random picture or two later, and then leave early."
"What's wrong?" Mu Chengjun asked.
Su Chen subconsciously touched the collarbone, "It's nothing, I just want to go back soon."
Mu Chengjun stretched out his hand to hold her palm, his palm was very warm, "Are you nervous?"
She hurriedly wanted to withdraw her hand, but Mu Chengjun clenched it even harder. She was not used to his behavior, and always felt that he didn't look like Mu Chengjun, "It's hot, let go."
"Your hands are so cold, I'll cover them for you."
A man sitting in front looked back, Mu Chengjun glanced over coldly, the other quickly turned his head away.
When the opening was approaching, Su Chen saw someone coming in from the door. She saw a very beautiful woman. She seemed to be able to describe it in this way, because she couldn't find any other words besides beautiful.
Several people got up one after another and greeted respectfully, "Mr. Jiang, Mrs. Jiang."
Jiang Yuanzhou nodded, and then took the woman beside him to sit down.
Xu Qingshen wore a simple dress, her collarbone protruded, her figure was exquisite, and her face was slightly powdered, which made her look so beautiful.She sat down and looked at the time, "Is it too late?"
"Why is it too late?"
Xu Qing frowned slightly, "I have an operation tonight."
"No need to go there, I have already arranged for someone else to do it."
"why?"
Jiang Yuanzhou stretched out his arms and put his arms around Xu Qingshen's slender waist. He rubbed his palms on her waist, "They are all about to get married, and they still have operations all day long. They will be on vacation starting tomorrow."
"So, tonight is the last one."
"I don't think anyone will treat you anymore. Are you planning to stay on the operating table on the day of your wedding?"
Xu Qingshen pushed his hand away, "Next time, don't change my operation randomly..."
Su Chen looked away, and the charity auction started. She realized that Mu Chengjun was still holding her hand, so she struggled away, and then held the handbag in front of her with both hands.The man glanced at her, and then cast his gaze forward.
The auction quickly got on track. The first work was handmade. Su Chen looked at the screen and saw that it was all children's works. The colorful handmade windmills were inserted in a cardboard box. The starting price was [-].
Everyone came here to donate money, so no one cares about what is photographed.
Some people really want to do charity, and some people want to establish a good image more than anything else, but no matter what the purpose is, the result is good.
Someone started bidding, from five thousand to six thousand, and then to ten thousand.
Xu Qingshen raised the sign in her hand, "50."
The corner of Jiang Yuanzhou's mouth moved, he took a lot of things in a year, 50 is the minimum amount, but in this case, it is definitely a considerable number.
The young man presiding over the auction said in a high voice, "50, 50! Is there any price increase? 50 once——"
No one raised their cards again, everyone's brains are quite normal, there are no pitfalls, this is not a must, and even if it is a must, without the strong financial resources and courage, who would dare to grab it with Jiang Yuanzhou?
"50 million three times, deal!"
with no doubt.
The scene applauded loudly, Xu Qingshen looked at Jiang Yuanzhou, "Does your heart hurt?"
"You underestimate me too."
"Then I will increase the price next time, and I will call for 500 million."
The man laughed, "No, you don't want to."
"Now, please invite the winners to come on stage, and invite the children who participated in this work, please send out gifts, okay?"
Xu Qingshen saw other people's eyes looking over, she stretched out her hand to hold Jiang Yuanzhou's palm for help. "you go."
"You shouted, why did you let me go?"
"so many people……"
Jiang Yuanzhou took the lead and applauded again. "My wife is a little embarrassed, everyone encourages and encourages."
After his words were settled, the applause sounded again, Xu Qingshen's face became hot, Jiang Yuanzhou raised his brows lightly at her, "Come on."
Xu Qing pulled down the hem of her skirt, stood up and walked forward. When she reached the stage, a little boy was waiting for her holding the cardboard box. Xu Qing showed her face, squatted down, and took the box.
The little boy went down quickly, Xu Qingshen stood up, and the man who hosted the auction next to him passed the microphone to Xu Qingshen, "Mrs. Jiang, please say something."
Xu Qingshen took the microphone, holding the cardboard box with one hand, "I have two children, a son and a daughter, they will like such a windmill, I hope all children can go to school, under the same sky, even if fate Abandoned them, but there are still people willing to help them."
She didn't say much, after finishing these words, she was ready to go down.
Xu Qingshen glanced at the audience, and said again, "And thanks to the kid just now, you made a very good windmill."
She handed the microphone back to the man next to her, and went down with the cardboard box in her arms.
Back on the seat, Jiang Yuanzhou took the cardboard box, Xu Qingshen took out a windmill, she took a breath, and watched the leaves of the windmill start to run.
The auction was still going on, and Mu Chengjun put the cards in Su Chen's lap. "You come."
"No, I can't."
"It's just a price call, what's wrong?"
One after another, some people took pictures of a few things. An oil painting appeared on the big screen. The painting was very good. The lines of the peaches were drawn just right, there was also a home hidden in the sun, and several characters with different expressions.
Mu Chengjun leaned closer to her ear and said, "We must gain something today, don't end up with nothing in the picture."
Su Chen took a look, picked up the sign on her lap and held it up, she motioned to Mu Chengjun with her eyes, "How much should I bid?"
"up to you."
The base price is [-], and you can add it at will, and you can add it round after round. It's not bad to call a high price in one step.
Su Chen shouted [-], and got it successfully.
When Mu Chengjun asked her to get up on the stage, she felt extremely awkward, but she could only comfort herself that tonight was a bit of a success, and she could have an explanation when she went back.
When they came to the stage, the man in charge of the auction invited the young artist of the painting to the stage. Su Chen saw a well-behaved little girl. She took the painting and walked up to Su Chen step by step.
Mu Chengjun looked out, a little sullen, he had just seen clearly which seat the little girl stood up from, and who was sitting next to her seat now.
"Sister, thank you for your kindness. Good people are rewarded with good things. On behalf of the children in the mountains, I would like to say thank you."
Su Chen didn't expect the little girl to be able to talk so much, she couldn't help showing off her face, and took the painting from her hand. "Thank you too, half of your credit, your painting is really good."
Su Chen thought she could leave, but apparently the man next to her deliberately left some time for them, "Little friend, tell us what your name is?"
"My name is Xin Sinian."
"Then what is the meaning of your painting?"
"Yes," the little girl tilted her head and looked at the painting. Seeing this, Su Chen handed the painting back to her.The little girl pointed to a place in the painting. "This is my home, this is my peach tree, this is my father and mother, and my sister."
Su Chen noticed that there was a young woman in the painting, she glanced down the stage, "Is your sister here?"
Mu Chengjun couldn't help clenching the palm hanging by his side. In the spacious hall, the air became thinner and thinner, as if it could suffocate at any time.The man in the front seat was motionless, but his eye circles were a little red. He stared fixedly at the stage. He saw his daughter shaking her head.
"No, my sister won't come over, and you won't see her either."
"Why?" The man who presided over the auction squatted down and asked.
The little girl had a sore nose and red eyes, "Actually, even I have never seen my sister. My mother said she is in heaven and she is an angel. There are pictures of my sister at home. She is really beautiful. I think my mother lied. Because the angels I saw on TV are not as good-looking as my sister. My parents have different opinions. My mother said that God likes my sister, so he took her away, but my father said that my sister was killed by someone.”
On such an occasion, no one would have expected that the little girl would say such words. There was an uproar at the scene, and the little girl burst into tears very quickly.
Su Chen stared blankly, at a loss for what to do, she pulled the little girl into her arms, "Hey, don't cry."
"Sister, why do you think there are bad people in the world? Why did you kill my sister?"
Mu Chengjun gritted his teeth, clenched his hands tightly, every inch of his gaze was icy cold, he felt that someone was dragging his shoulders, and was about to push him hard into the ice water.His eardrums filled with cries, getting shriller and more painful.
The man sitting in the front row suddenly got up, and he strode towards the stage.
When he came to the little girl's side, he stretched out his hand to help Su Chen who was squatting up first, and then squatted back to his daughter's side, "Missing, don't cry, the matter of my sister is over long ago, don't cry."
"Dad, I just think of my sister, and I'm sad."
The man pulled the painting out of the girl's hand and handed it to Su Chen, who took it hesitantly.
"Sorry," the man said to her, "My daughter is usually very sensible, and I don't know what's wrong today."
"No, she is still very sensible today, and I'm fine." Su Chen said.
Mu Chengjun's stiff legs moved, he stood up, and walked forward step by step.He felt that every step he took was like stepping on a sharp knife, lingering at him one after another, making him in agony.He came to the stage and walked towards Su Chen. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he and the Xin family had met. He didn't expect to meet here tonight.
The shame and grief in Mu Chengjun's heart welled up. The man standing next to the little girl stood up and looked at him, "It turns out that this lady was brought by Mr. Mu."
Mu Chengjun clenched his palms tightly and his knuckles creaked. Su Chen didn't know the grudge between the two of them at all. She glanced at Mu Chengjun's face, but froze.
She saw something wrong in the man's eyes, it seemed that there were turbulent waves beating, and there seemed to be mixed with sadness and pain, and more, it was still anger, and all kinds of emotions were tossed over and over again.Su Chen was a little surprised, "Cheng Jun?"
The little girl stopped crying and snuggled up to the man.
The middle-aged man stared at Mu Chengjun with the same indifference on his face as before, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth. Mu Chengjun couldn't see such a gaze. The only time he was humiliated in his life was because of him, and he was the one who directed it...
Mu Chengjun pulled Su Chen's arm, and then his eyes fell on the child.
This should be a child adopted by the Xin family. When she made such a move on stage today, did she really think of her sister, or was she guided by an adult?
Mu Chengjun sneered, "I miss your sister that much?"
The little girl nodded. "Um."
Mu Chengjun lowered his voice and said to the girl, "Then do you want uncle to send you to see her?"
Hearing this, the man's face was ashen, and he resisted the impulse to hug the girl up.Su Chen was also taken aback. She didn't expect Mu Chengjun to say such a thing. Mu Chengjun took her hand and walked down the stage.
The two returned to their seats, the auction was still going on, and Mu Chengjun looked forward with a sullen face.
The middle-aged man brought the girl back to the place where he was sitting, and the little girl snuggled up to his side.
Seeing this, another man next to him asked softly, "Do you have any grudges against Mr. Mu?"
The man's eyelids moved slightly, and he didn't look over his head, "Why do you ask like that?"
"I heard it just now. I heard Mr. Mu say whether he wants to send your daughter to see..."
The man's eyes were dark and thick, and he outlined the corners of his lower lip. "He was joking."
"Looking at his expression, it doesn't look like he's joking."
"They took pictures of my daughter's paintings. Besides, how old is my daughter? Can you still offend him?"
"Too."
The man's eyes fell back to the stage, "Don't guess casually, the Xin family has nothing to do with the Mu family, let alone any enmity."
Even if there was a grudge, it was completely gone. The two families agreed to write it off, and no one could break this rule first.
Su Chen heard the high-pitched voice of the young man who presided over the auction. Tonight is indeed a good harvest. Mu Chengjun's [-] yuan is considered a big deal. As long as the next auction goes well, he will be able to raise a lot of money for charity.
Su Chen glanced at the painting in his hand, and saw Mu Chengjun's hands on his knees from the corner of his eye. His fingers were trembling, and he wanted to clenched it tightly, but he couldn't seem to use the strength to hold it.
She didn't know what happened at all, Su Chen's eyes then fell on Mu Chengjun's face, the line of his side face was tense, Su Chen whispered, "Mu Chengjun?"
The man stared at the front, motionless, and she put her hand on the back of his hand. "Mu Chengjun?"
Mu Chengjun glanced at her. "I'm fine."
In the front row, Xu Qingshen was playing with the windmill in his hand, "Isn't the scene just now a bit strange?"
"What's so strange?" Jiang Yuanzhou said calmly.
"I don't believe you can't see it."
"I really can't see it." He didn't want to care about things that had nothing to do with Jiang Yuanzhou, so naturally he couldn't see who was wrong.
After the auction, there will be a thank-you banquet, which is prepared by the organizer. Although a chef is also invited, the ingredients are all sent by others. There are vegetables, rice, oil, sweet potatoes, etc. sent by the sponsor’s home. Dinner can be said to be extremely simple.
Su Chen followed Mu Chengjun to the infield. The man was very stiff, she could tell at a glance.
Su Chen hurriedly grabbed Mu Chengjun's arm. "Let's go home, or go out and get something to eat."
"You want to go?"
"I think you're a little bit wrong, what's wrong with you?"
Mu Chengjun shook his head, "No, I'm fine."
He turned his eyes to the distance and saw the man from just now walking through the crowd with his daughter. The father and daughter were holding hands. Someone congratulated him, "Congratulations, a painting of Missing sold for [-] yuan. It's a good candidate." Ah, there must be something promising in the future."
"Thank you."
There was no need for Mu Chengjun to run away. Everyone was in Dongcheng, and encounters on the scene were inevitable. He couldn't turn around and leave.
He glanced at Su Chen beside him, "Are you hungry? I'll take you vegetarian today."
"Are you all right?"
"I've been fine."
Su Chen smiled and followed Mu Chengjun forward.
There was an arranged list on the round table in the inner hall, and Mu Chengjun led Su Chen to sit down. The dinner was simple, but after being processed by the chef, the taste was first-class.Su Chen was halfway through eating and wanted to go to the bathroom. Seeing that she was about to get up, Mu Chengjun asked her a question. "Where are you going?"
"Go to the bathroom."
"I will go with you."
The man stood up, and Su Chen followed him with his bag. When he arrived at the bathroom door, Mu Chengjun leaned on one side, took out a cigarette, "Go in, I'll wait for you outside."
"You're not going in?"
"Ah."
Su Chen felt strange, so why did he come out with him?She walked in, and Mu Chengjun was smoking a cigarette outside. He just didn't want Su Chen to be left alone. If someone deliberately wanted to say or do something to her, he was afraid that she wouldn't be able to handle it.
After finishing a cigarette, Su Chen came out, and Mu Chengjun stubbed out the cigarette. "alright?"
"Well, all right."
"Let's go."
Su Chen felt a little funny, "You are afraid that I will get lost, aren't you?"
"It's best if you lose it," Mu Chengjun said walking in front, "It also saves me the effort to kick you out."
"It's really hard to talk to you." Su Chen said dissatisfied.
The man stood still in front and looked back at her, "I'm just kidding you."
"It's useless to explain, I know you want me to leave Mu's house." Su Chen said, passing by his side, Mu Chengjun walked a few steps, "You can't take jokes any more."
Su Chen walked in front, the door of the banquet hall was open, she walked to the door, suddenly a small figure rushed over and bumped into her arms, Mu Chengjun saw her stop from a distance, but didn't See what's going on.
Su Chen heard a bang sound in her ears, she looked down and saw the little girl who was on the stage just now, the little girl was holding a teacup in her hand, but the lid of the teacup fell on the ground and broke.
She got up in a hurry, and knelt down to pick it up. Seeing this, Su Chen hurriedly bent down, "Don't pick it up, be careful not to cut your hands."
"No, it can't be broken," the little girl held the broken cover, almost crying, "it's not mine, it's very expensive, it can't be broken."
"It's just a cover. If it breaks, you can buy it again." Su Chen held her little hand, "Get up."
"No, I can't," the little girl was so anxious that her eye circles turned red, and tears fell down, "I poured water for others, this can't be broken, my father told me to be careful, saying that it was the uncle's baby... ..."
When Su Chen heard this, she didn't know how to persuade her, "Even if you need to pour water, you should go to the waitress sister, you are such a small child..."
"What's wrong?" Mu Chengjun stepped forward and asked.
Su Chen looked up at him, "The lid of the teacup is broken, I'm in a hurry here."
Mu Chengjun looked at the ground expressionlessly, the little girl squatted there and kept wiping her tears, he bent down and took Su Chen's hand, "None of your business."
It's none of her business, when she came in, the little girl bumped into her, but hearing Mu Chengjun's tone, Su Chen couldn't help but speak. "She cried like this just for a teacup."
"I want to be good," the little girl couldn't help wiping away her tears, "If my father finds out, he will definitely teach me again. I don't want to be bad."
"It has nothing to do with whether you are good or not," Su Chen persuaded, "It was carelessness, it was accident."
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" the girl is weeping very sadly.
Not far away, several people came over. Xin Shixun strode forward, glanced at Su Chen and Mu Chengjun, and then fell to the ground, "What's going on?"
The little girl flinched and raised her head slowly, "Dad, Dad—"
"Why did you hit the cup?" Xin Shixun bent down and clasped the girl's arm, the girl carefully held the teacup, the face of the person next to Xin Shixun changed slightly, "Hey, I told you not to pour me tea, you kid insisted Hurry up, this is all right..."
The girl's thinking is very simple, she just wants to perform well and let everyone praise her in front of her father. She didn't expect that when she walked here, she would accidentally slip on the sole of her foot, let alone put her The lid fell off.
"Forget it." The man could only say this despite his displeasure.
"I'm sorry, I'll pay you another day."
"If you pay, you don't have to pay," the man said to Xin Shixun, "I finally got this, and I can't buy the exact same one."
When the girl heard this, her face turned pale with fright. Mu Chengjun took Su Chen's hand and wanted to leave. Seeing this, the girl snuggled towards Xin Shixun. "It's...it's this sister, she bumped me, and the cup fell out, and I couldn't grab the lid..."
Su Chen was slightly startled, and Mu Chengjun narrowed his narrow eyes, "Say it again?"
"It's true, Dad, it was this sister who hit me."
Su Chen saw that the panic on the girl's face hadn't faded away. After all, she was still a child, and she was still a child who was trying hard to be recognized by adults.She seems to have nothing to say, is she going to argue with a child?
Xin Shixun glanced at Mu Chengjun, and put his arm on the girl's shoulder. "Don't be afraid."
Of course, the owner of the cup also knew Mu Chengjun, and when he heard this, he immediately changed his face, "So it's Mr. Mu, it doesn't matter, it's just a cup, forget it."
Mu Chengjun was expressionless, "What do you mean it was Mr. Mu? Could it be that I threw your cup?"
"I didn't mean that, it's just a cup, not enough..." The man looked at Su Chen while he was speaking. He knew that Su Chen was Mu Chengjun's girlfriend, so he gave her this face, but with his glance, It was like believing the little girl's words.
"It's not enough, is it?" Mu Chengjun took the words.
"Yes Yes."
Mu Chengjun sneered, "It's just something we haven't done. Why should we admit it? It's not like this to splash dirty water."
"This……"
Xin Shixun patted his daughter on the shoulder. "Missing, what's going on? Don't be afraid, to be honest, no one will tell you."
"Father, what I'm telling is the truth. This sister really hit me." Su Chen frowned, but Mu Chengjun was not satisfied with the answer, "Little girl, it's not good to lie."
Xin Shixun also showed displeasure on his face when he heard this, "Mr. Mu, if it is really my daughter's fault, I will tell her well, but why do you say she lied? It's still in front of so many people."
"Because the people I bring will not lie."
"That's weird. The two parties insist on their own words, and there is always one person who is not telling the truth."
The man whose cup was thrown had to stand up and make peace instead. "For a cup lid, it's not worth fussing about so much, let's go, let's eat."
Su Chen looked at the girl, but the little girl didn't dare to raise her eyes. She pressed her head, and her face was full of guilt.
She reached out and pulled Mu Chengjun's arm. "Forget it, let's go home."
The man nodded, and didn't want to tangle with others.
He held Su Chen's palm with his backhand, and was about to leave directly. Xin Shixun glanced at the mess on the ground, and said to the man next to him. "How much did you pay for this cup? I will pay for it."
"No, no need to say no."
"Of course you have to pay for things that fall, and you always have to bear the responsibility. Am I going to just walk away?"
Mu Chengjun paused, turned his head to look at Xin Shixun, "That's a good point, you have to take responsibility for what you do."
"No, it's Mr. Mu who refuses to admit it. As for me, based on the principle of educating my daughter, I am willing to pay for her."
Mu Chengjun pointed at the little girl, "Ask your own daughter, she's dishonest at such a young age, and it's a disaster when she grows up!"
"you--"
"Wow——" the little girl cried out suddenly, the voice was loud, and it exploded all at once.
"I didn't, I didn't lie, I didn't do it, it really has nothing to do with me—" She was so emotional that her little face flushed red, and she suddenly sat down on the ground.
Su Chen saw that something was wrong, why did the girl's face turn pale in an instant, and her crying stopped.
Xin Shixun was extremely anxious, he knelt down and hugged his daughter, "She has congenital heart disease, so don't get excited!"
