This time Yu Chen didn't go there as a spectator, but as a photographer.

Last night, when Yu Chen received the invitation, he decided to go.

He took a fancy to an ancient painting and wanted to buy it a few years ago. However, due to some reasons, he failed to go to the scene. He thought he had been taken away, but for some reason, he reappeared in the auction house. Of course this opportunity cannot be missed.

An Xia was taken into a comfortable and antique box on the second floor. The leather sofa was quite soft to sit on. There were all kinds of snacks and cakes, and there were even handsome maids in cheongsams waiting around.

Looking down from here, you can see the center of the stage at a glance, which is out of tune with the noise below. It looks like a judge. In fact, only the people in the VIP box are the customers that the auction house really values.

Although An Xia came here for the first time, because he had seen that scene last time, he seemed a little calmer.

Yu Chen glanced at the way she was sitting upright, raised the corners of her lips, and let the two people on the left and right leave.

Without outsiders, An Xia felt much more at ease.

"Eat grapes?"

Yu Chen picked up a bunch of grapes from the table and handed them over.

An Xia took them and stuffed them into her mouth one by one, looking like a little squirrel, her cheeks puffed up.

She was halfway through eating, and found that Yu Chen's eyes had been on her all the time, and turned to look at her in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"fine."

Seeing this, An Xia continued to eat grapes.

Yu Chen glanced at his hand, wanting to pinch it, what's going on?

……

"Xiao Xiao, fish and dragons are mixed here, who knows if there is anything unclean here, if you want something, you can have someone take it back for you, why don't you come here in person?" Xie Yu frowned, looking at it with disgust He glanced at the restless crowd downstairs.

A group of people who don't know much, it's disgusting to see.

"Grandpa's birthday will be in a few days, and I will definitely get the "Picture of Eighteen Ladies". If you feel uncomfortable, you can go back first." Han Xiaoxiao knew his friend's virtues, and said as usual.

When Xie Yu heard the word grandfather, he knew Han Xiaoxiao's temper.

Han Xiaoxiao is the only daughter of the direct line of the Han family, proud, indifferent, but very filial.

Grandpa Han's favorite thing to collect is antique calligraphy and paintings, and it will be Grandpa Han's birthday in a few days, so she will stay here to take pictures for her grandfather.

"There's nothing I can do with you, and I can only stay with you."

……

"Do you have anything you like?" Yu Chen asked An Xia as he unbuttoned his cuffs.

"Well...these are too expensive, I can't afford them." She said carelessly, without feeling ashamed, and didn't think it was a bad thing that she had no money.

Even though she said so, Yu Chen could tell that her gaze was always on the fifth page.

"Do you know this picture of a lady?" Yu Chen was very interested, and it was the first time that she had such a strong interest in something.

"I can't say I like it, but I think it's amazing. The painting skills and meaning in it are very profound. I'm just a layman, and I don't know how to appreciate paintings. I just think it's really beautiful."

She was a little surprised that a man would say that, but she still confessed obediently.

"Ah."

After the auction started, people downstairs competed for it.

And Yu Chen would sometimes casually explain the origins of these antiques to An Xia, and tell her how to identify the authenticity, which can be described as extremely meticulous.

When it was the turn of Eighteen Ladies, the climax had already been reached.

"This "Picture of Eighteen Ladies" was painted by Yuan Ming, a painter of the Tang Dynasty. It depicts the scenery of the Tang Dynasty. This painting once traveled across the ocean to overseas, and was fortunate to be brought back by our master, and has been preserved ever since. So far, the starting price is 3000 million."

"One hundred million." Yu Chen said lazily.

An Xia opened her mouth in astonishment, "Is [-] million too high?"

"The value of the painting of ladies does not lie in the painting itself, but in its history. It has traveled to many countries and has been regarded as a first-class cultural relic in exhibition halls by countless countries, so its value is far beyond the painting itself. "Yu Chen explained lightly.

An Xia felt relieved, she thought Yu Chen took the photo for her sake.

"One hundred million! One hundred million times, one hundred million..."

"5000 million!" A cold female voice came from the opposite box, seeming very dissatisfied with the other party's direct price increase to [-] million.

There was an uproar at the bottom. Although these people were not short of money, 5000 million was not a small amount. After looking at each other in blank dismay, they chose to give up.

"Two hundred million." Without raising his head, Yu Chen even made himself a cup of tea with great interest. The tea here is mellow and delicious, with a faint sweetness in the mouth, and he sipped the tea slowly.

"Xiao Xiao, does the person on the other side know what we want, and is deliberately against us? Who is raising the price by 5000 million at a time? It's not such a way to spend money!" Xie Yu complained a few words, although their family is rich , but they don't have much working capital, and what they need as they rely on the family is the pocket money given by their parents.

Han Xiaoxiao's complexion was not good. She had prepared a lot for this picture. She had inquired in advance that the painting was worth up to 5000 million yuan, but she didn't expect that a dark horse would appear out of nowhere and cut off her beard directly.

She thought that even if someone wanted it, for the sake of the Han family's face, she would give it to her, but she didn't know who the person in the van was, and they didn't even give it to the Han family's face.

"1000 million and [-] million!" Han Xiaoxiao raised his sign.

Xie Yu said in shock, "You are crazy, such a broken painting is not worth so much, the person opposite is definitely driving up the price on purpose, don't fall for it."

"I'm sober now." Han Xiaoxiao gave her a flat look.

"...Okay." The person who said he was sober was doing things that were not sober.

"Do you like this painting very much?" It was the first time An Xia saw the rich and powerful people around him.

"It's so-so." Yu Chen said.

An Xia almost spat out the tea she just drank, "For a mediocre painting, you directly bid from 3000 million to [-] million?"

"The other party really wants it, and he never gave up." Although the woman's voice was cold, An Xia could hear a trace of anxiety in it.

"Well, when she started bidding tens of millions, she was already at a disadvantage. She will lose this time." The presence of the old god Yu Chen did not change the slightest because of the tense atmosphere.

Sure enough, in the end, it was sold at Yu Chen's sky-high price of [-] million.

An Xia, "..."

She felt that the world of rich people was still too far away from her.

When the people on the first floor heard the outcry, their blood boiled and they discussed, "Is the voice coming from upstairs?"

"Isn't it? To become a VIP of Feiyu Pavilion has a lot of background, but I don't know who the one upstairs is."

"I heard that it seems to be the Yu family..."

"If it's the one from the Yu family, it makes sense."

Afterwards, the people from the auction house sent the painting over respectfully.

This picture of a lady worth hundreds of millions of dollars was carefully placed in a roll, and the roll was placed in a box made of rosewood. Half of the wisteria pattern was carved on the body of the rosewood, and the visitor presented it with his hands carefully.

An Xia sighed with emotion, it really is a sky-high price painting, and the quality is much higher than ordinary paintings.

Yu Chen raised his chin at An Xia, "Take it."

An Xia touched the box and asked, "Can I open it?"

"It was taken for you."

"What?"

An Xia's face was blank. Such a precious painting was given to her?

Yu Chen tapped the table with his index finger, "Don't you like it very much?"

An Xia, "You can see... No! You don't have to buy it if you like it, and the price is still so much higher than the original price."

Before the painting was priced up, what she liked was the painting itself. After the painting was bought by Yu Chen at a price of [-] million, she cared more about the value of the painting.

"I thought who bought a painting at a high price of [-] million. I didn't expect it to be Mr. Yu. Even Mr. Yu's eyes are not very good. People like this who can't stand on the stage are also brought with me. Don't forget, Our Xiao Xiao is your fiancée."

Xie Yu didn't know when he was standing at the door with Han Xiaoxiao, his arms folded domineeringly, and he looked arrogant and disdainful.

And Han Xiaoxiao bit his lower lip, and stood up, "Mr. Yu, can you transfer this painting to me? I really want to buy it. I know that with your family background, there is no shortage of this painting." .”

An Xia originally felt uneasy about accepting this painting, but being so stimulated by Xie Yu, her mind rushed and she blurted out, "Mr. Yu, do you think it's worth giving me this painting?"

Yu Chen was surprised, "Of course it counts."

"Okay, then I'll accept it." An Xia nodded, and really accepted the painting.

"You!" Xie Yu was furious, but Yu Chen was here, and there was nothing he could do about An Xia, "Some people don't even look at their own identities, are you worthy of a [-] million painting?"

An Xia smiled happily, "This painting is mine now, I don't deserve it, don't you deserve it?"

Xie Yu's face turned livid from anger.

And Han Xiaoxiao's gaze was still fixed on Yu Chen, she was waiting for the man to express his opinion.

Yu Chen turned his gaze, saw An Xia's complacent look, and smiled slightly, "Miss Han saw it too, and I've already given away this painting. If you really want it, it's better to ask the owner of the painting."

Han Xiaoxiao frowned, clenched his fists tightly, "No need!"

After finishing speaking, he turned and left, Xie Yu gave them a cold look, and followed them out.

As soon as the two left, An Xia returned the painting to Yu Chen.

"You don't want it after using it?" Yu Chen was speechless, he was the first one who dared to cross the river and demolish the bridge with him so quickly.

An Xia shook her head, "Thank you just now, this painting is very good, and I like it very much."

Yu Chen took a deep look at her, knowing that she hadn't finished speaking.

"But I don't want you to help me all the time. Besides, I don't have the ability or qualification to own this painting. I hope that one day, I can truly, rely on my own strength, to paint this painting. When the painting becomes my own, then I will have the confidence to choke back.”

Yu Chen's gaze shifted, it was beyond his expectation that the little woman could say these words.
