Lin Xi felt that things were going in a weird direction.
This is really not right.
Why is Chu Muqing here?
Did she get it wrong?Impossible at all...
She must be scaring herself. There is no such thing as a coincidence in the world.
While his heart was beating wildly, Lin Xi subconsciously stood up and couldn't help but search for Chu Muqing.
In the dimly lit gorgeous banquet hall, following the host's excited voice, dazzling light instantly gathered to the southeast corner of the entire banquet hall.
At the moment when the beam of bright light fell, everyone's eyes also gathered in unison.
The woman on the seat was wearing a dark blue evening dress. The deep V dress made her more fair and beautiful, with exquisite and fair facial features, and smooth neck lines. The hair is smooth and delicate.
Lin Xi's breathing was almost stagnant.
It was a face that was kissed by an angel, which made her extremely familiar.
At the place where the lights gather, the cold woman in a luxurious evening dress is too stunning.
Lin Xi's eyes were on Chu Muqing from the beginning to the end.
Her cool and dignified demeanor is the same as before, her brows are still cold, but her noble and elegant demeanor makes everyone present look sideways.
The host's voice came from the podium: "Miss Chu Muqing bid 1000 million! Is there any more than 1000 million?"
At the same time, the admiration of everyone in the field was endless.
"Why didn't you notice just now, there is such a beauty?"
"Whose Miss? Why haven't I seen it before?"
"Is it okay to let you see it? Your young master Qin is going to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade again?"
"Tsk tsk, this cold beauty is the most tasteful. This temperament alone makes me ignore the gender, even if she is in love with me, I will recognize her."
"Don't be kidding, there is a good show to watch now."
"The beauty is throwing 1000 million, and it depends on whether Miss Lin Jiasan will hand over this collection to others."
"What are you thinking? Do you think Lin San is the kind of person who pity the fragrance and cherish the jade? What kind of person does she want but can't get?"
Lin Xi: ...
Her brain is about to explode, this is not a matter of pity and pity!
But if Chu Muqing likes it, if she wants to bid, give her 1 guts, and she won't dare to compete with Chu Muqing!
But where did Chu Muqing get the money?
Isn't she going to sell the house?
Lin Xi had no idea what Chu Muqing's purpose was.
All she knew was that Chu Muqing had no money, and she had just personally raised the price to 1000 million.
It's over, it's over, it's all messed up...
It was all messed up.
Who can tell her what happened?
At the same time, because Chu Muqing's mentality collapsed, she was far from the only one who felt incredible.
Chu Jing gritted her blue teeth: Where did Chu Muqing get the money from? !
Guan Jin frowned tightly, looked at Chu Muqing without saying a word.
Even Mrs. Guan couldn't help but look at the beautiful girl in surprise, didn't she say that the child is not allowed to take pictures?
And Mo Beichen didn't know whether to see Lin Xi or Chu Muqing...
Chu Jinglan raised her head curiously, and the moment she saw Lin Xi's face clearly, she was stunned.
"Beichen... I just found out that the person who married my sister was the third miss of the Lin family?! Then we offended her before..."
Mo Beichen's headache became even more severe after hearing her words.
He looked at Lin Xi angrily, then at Chu Muqing, and then turned his head to look at Lin Xi unwillingly.
Even though he tried his best to maintain his quality on weekdays, he still couldn't help but cursed: "Fuck!"
Chu Jinglan: "Are you sick? Who are you scolding?!"
Mo Beichen held the bidding card in his hand fiercely: "Curse me!"
Chu Jinglan: ...?
At the same time, the host's excited voice resounded throughout the audience: "1000 million, the first time!"
Lin Xi: ...
She stretched her body the whole time, trying to see Chu Muqing.
As long as Chu Muqing can look at her and give her a glance, she will roughly know Chu Muqing's purpose.
However, that person sat upright from the beginning to the end, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and the profile of his profile was absolutely beautiful——
But Chu Muqing just didn't look at her! !
"1000 million, the second time!"
The host's excited voice was like a reminder, and Lin Xi felt his heart beating.
The drumbeats were pounding so densely that her little heart could hardly bear it.
Can Chu Muqing take a look at her? Can he!
"1000 million, the first—"
Lin Xi subconsciously tilted her head and looked at the housekeeper.
The butler immediately understood her intention and raised the sign directly.
The host was stunned for three seconds, and then said more excitedly: "Miss Lin Xi, the bid is 50 million!"
"Hahaha! What did I say? How could Lin San feel pity for the fragrance and cherish the jade?"
"Pfft! Hahahahaha! It's very interesting. In order to gain popularity, I offended all the beauties."
"Lin San, why doesn't she have any gentlemanly demeanor?"
"But put it down, you don't remember what she is like in the rumors? She has a gentlemanly demeanor. She is an Alpha who can fight with Omega in the street. How can she have a gentlemanly demeanor?"
Lin Xi: ...
What others say about her, she can take it as scolding the original body, and it has nothing to do with her.
But...Chu Muqing shouldn't bid anymore, right?
"50 million for the first time!"
"50 million for the second time!"
The host is ready to strike the hammer and sell this collection.
However, the next moment, he shouted loudly again: "Miss Chu Muqing, the bid is 100 million!"
Lin Xi: ...?
why?
……
Lin Xi was about to cry helplessly, so he could only signal the butler to continue raising the placard.
After she raised her card again, Chu Muqing continued to follow.
All of a sudden, the lights of the audience slid back and forth in the direction of her and Chu Muqing.
The host's voice became more and more excited.
After repeated several times, the host said again: "Miss Lin Xi, bid 2000 million!"
Lin Xi immediately looked in Chu Muqing's direction. The man was tucking his chin slightly, and his eyes were all on the screen of the mobile phone in her hand.
After a while, she finally looked up.
Looking in the host's direction, he didn't raise his placard again.
Lin Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
That's right, if you spend money on charitable things, just let her come, and Chu Muqing will stop robbing her.
In the end, as the host dropped the auction hammer, Lin Xi made a contribution to charity on behalf of the Lin family with a transaction price of 2000 million.
Lin Xi cast his eyes over, Chu Muqing's eyes were lowered, but his eyes were still on the phone screen.
Who is she messaging?
At the same time, the voices of discussion around him also followed closely.
It's nothing more than saying that she likes to pretend to be in the limelight.
"Sister..." Xu Moran couldn't help but looked at her with a smile, and asked, "After hearing those people say that about you, what do you think?"
Lin Xi: "..."
Lin Xi said bitterly: "A dog can't spit out ivory."
"Pfft, so you are, you don't care about anything for your wife? Spend a lot of money for beauty?"
Lin Xi looked back from Chu Muqing's side, lowered his eyes, and thought for a while, "I think it's a mistake that will cause eternal hatred, and looking back, it's been a hundred years..."
Xu Moran: "??"
Lin Xi pinched her swollen and painful temples indiscriminately: "Don't look at me so surprised, to be honest, I don't know what I'm talking about."
Xu Moran: "?????"
Xu Moran looked at her for a while, then suddenly asked: "Are all of you Alphas so nervous?"
Lin Xi: "?"
Xu Moran had a good attitude and tried his best to sell: "Do you need me to help you with psychological counseling? Since we have known each other for four or five years, I will give you a [-]% discount?"
Lin Xi was expressionless for a moment: "No need to thank you."
Xu Moran: "Why are you getting more and more stingy? Oh, I see, it's you who are only stingy to me."
Lin Xi: ...
Xu Moran: "I think you are quite generous to your Omega."
Lin Xi: ...
Xu Moran: "If she were here tonight and saw you taking pictures of her 2000 million necklace, she would be so touched that she would cry."
Lin Xi: ...
She didn't know whether Chu Muqing was moved or not, but at this moment, she really didn't dare to move.
Didn't dare to move at all.
Her mind was indeed in a state of extreme confusion, and she couldn't understand Chu Muqing at all.
Did Chu Muqing bid with her because she recognized that she was angry with her, or because of something else...
But thinking about it carefully, she should be angry.
A person with such a bad reputation married her incognito, he should be angry, right?
But in fact, you can also think in a different direction, the prodigal son turns back or something...
Lin Xi couldn't figure out Chu Muqing's intention at all, and the intense bidding continued.
Fortunately, Chu Muqing did not bid with her again, and kept quiet throughout the process.
Lin Xi then held up the placard himself, and took pictures of the collection several times in succession.
She was in the limelight for a while, and everyone avoided her edge.
At the same time, the flashlights of the media fell on her.
Lin Xi graciously allowed the media to take pictures, and even smiled in cooperation with them.
On the other side, Chu Muqing calmly withdrew her gaze from Lin Xi.
With an increasingly indifferent expression on his face, he looked at the phone.
[Chu Tuxin: What's the situation? 2000? ]
Chu Muqing paused, and replied: [Well, it exceeded your expectations. ]
[Chu Tuxin: After the necklace is photographed, it can be sold for at most two thousand and one two after a while. In this way, there is really no need for you to help me take pictures. ]
[Chu Tuxin: It's okay, I don't blame you, I'm just curious who took the picture. ]
Chu Muqing's knuckles holding the phone deepened, and she paused for a few seconds before replying: [Miss Chuangrong Group. ]
[Chu Tuxin: I thought it was someone who was so generous, but it turned out to be her, so I have no objection. ]
[Chu Tuxin: Have you talked to her about shares? ]
Chu Muqing paused slightly with her fingertips: [There is no need to talk. ]
[Chu Tuxin:? ?It's not necessary. ]
[Chu Tuxin: Great niece, I don't really care about a piece of collection, if you can't buy it, forget it, why don't you think again? ]
Chu Muqing: ...
On the podium, the auction is still in full swing.
Chu Muqing's eyes glanced away again.
Lin Xi was sitting at the master's seat, surrounded by the radio media, under the spotlight of the media, she was like a star holding the moon.
Such Lin Xi is completely different from the person she subconsciously had before.
The media's focus is all on her. She has the same face, but her temperament is completely different from before. The Lin Xi in her subconscious is pragmatic and humble. When did she live like this?
However, what she didn't know was that Lin Xi's pretense was almost unbearable.
Xu Moran smiled, and asked her in a low voice, "Why are you nervous?"
Lin Xi sank her sore shoulders a little. She couldn't tell Xu Moran that she deliberately made a concave shape in front of the camera, right?
"I'm nervous..." Lin Xi thought for a while, "Would my wife like the vases and necklaces I took?"
"???" Xu Moran was directly speechless by her: "Die! You call tens of millions of porcelain vases? These things are almost over [-] million, why don't you give it to me? I like it very much."
Lin Xi coughed lightly and smiled: "Well, then you can pick whatever you like."
Xu Moran looked at the collection brought over by the staff on the table, and saw the necklace at a glance.
She deliberately picked it up: "So generous? How about this one?"
Lin Xi froze for a moment: "Ah...this one won't work, you can choose something else."
Xu Moran deliberately teased her, but instead measured her neck: "Does it look good?"
Lin Xi persuaded him nervously: "Look at that vase, it's not bad..."
"You're kidding!" Xu Moran laughed, and put down the necklace again: "How could I snatch Mrs. Xiaolin's things?"
Chu Muqing looked at them for a while, her eyes gradually narrowed, and finally she withdrew her cold gaze.
After an unknown amount of time, the tense auction session finally came to an end.
After Mrs. Guan, the organizer of this charity auction, gave a speech, the lights in the venue were turned on again, and the dinner officially began.
And Lin Xi, as the "biggest winner" tonight, accepted the media interview after Mrs. Guan's interview.
Chu Muqing really lost the interest in enjoying the exquisite food in front of her, she looked at the time on the phone from time to time.
Time passed by, and the media asked Lin Xi several questions one after another. Chu Muqing was not thinking about that, and besides, she was far away from Lin Xi, so she didn't hear what Lin Xi was saying at all.
It's just that she subconsciously felt that she responded smoothly, the whole process was related to charity, and her conversation was funny, which made the reporters around laugh too.
Beside him, a man smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao Lin is really showing off tonight. Before, he didn't even show his face in front of the media. Now that he shows up, he has directly gained a wave of favor from philanthropists."
"It's just...is it unreasonable to talk about charity in front of the media with money from the Lin family?"
"Isn't that what they said? Without the Lin family, she would be nothing."
"That's not right." The other person at the same table answered, "How did I hear that Mrs. Lin has a lot of property?"
"Mrs. Lin? No way, didn't she bring Lin San out of the village?"
"Even if there is property, it depends on the Lin family."
"In the final analysis, Chuangrong Group will belong to Lin Licheng sooner or later. It doesn't mean that Lin San can't even get in Chuangrong Group. After all, there is a difference between closeness and estrangement."
These people's words were not good, and when they reached Chu Muqing's ears, they felt a little harsh.
Lin Xi told her before that she didn't have a good childhood, and later she worked diligently and rented a house by herself.
When did such a pragmatic and diligent person become as unbearable as they said?
Chu Muqing glanced away, and Lin Xi was facing the camera with a polite smile.
Her tone was very sincere: "In addition, on behalf of Chuangrong Group, I donated an additional 3000 million to children in mountainous areas to buy books. I hope that the children can study hard and succeed in their studies. our country."
As soon as she spoke, the media once again stepped forward to take pictures.
Nearby, the man beside him snorted coldly: "Take the Lin family's money for charity, and use the name to gain fame and whitewash what she did before?"
Chu Muqing's phoenix eyes paused slightly, and she looked at him coldly.
When the man saw the cold beauty who was silent the whole time and looked up, he thought he was lucky and wanted to strike up a conversation.
"What's the matter, Miss Chu?"
A faint smile slowly appeared on Chu Muqing's red lips, and she asked them, "Wanting fame?"
The other party thought she thought so too, and couldn't help laughing happily: "Isn't it just for fame, you don't know what she was like in the rumors."
Chu Muqing sneered with red lips, and asked back: "If Lin Xi is fishing for fame, I dare to ask you, have you ever photographed any of the collections?"
man:"……"
He froze for a moment, heard something in her words, frowned and argued, "Is it because I don't want to shoot? Ask everyone here, who dares to compete with her? You didn't and you couldn't compete for the 2000 million one." necklace?"
Chu Muqing smiled lightly and did not speak again.
The others all fell silent. It is true that none of the people at this table dared to challenge Lin Xi.
But it doesn't mean that other people won't. Lin Xi only photographed a few of them, while other items in Mrs. Guan's collection were photographed by others.
Lin Xi did not raise his placard during the process.
The man knew that he had lost face, he was embarrassed and didn't say a word.
The woman walking with him looked at Chu Muqing displeasedly, and said, "Why are you helping her talk?" She sneered, and said sarcastically, "Even if you help her talk, she won't see it, and she won't see it at all." I won't take your case, and it's okay if you can't take a picture of that necklace, the one sitting with her is the second lady of General Xu's family."
Chu Muqing paused: "General Xu?"
The woman sneered: "Xu Moran, none of the family backgrounds present can match her, and she is an Omega, so I don't blame Lin San for flattering her, after all, power lies here." The woman said more and more proudly: "But you What? If you speak for Lin San, can she accept your favor? She probably doesn't even know who you are?"
Chu Muqing exhaled, and said softly, "She is not such a person."
But Lin Xi did have a good chat with Xu Moran.
The woman sneered: "what you said is the same as her?"
That's the end of the conversation, Chu Muqing didn't speak any more.
The man glanced at his girlfriend gratefully, who smiled back triumphantly.
At this time, a female reporter took the initiative to walk not far away and picked up the microphone of the podium.
She walked back to the side of Lin Xi's host seat, cleared her throat, and asked Lin Xi: "Miss Lin, did you take a photo of the priceless princess necklace, is it for the person you like?"
Lin Xi was slightly taken aback.
Isn't the interview topic centered around charity?
Why did you start asking personal questions at the end of the interview?
As soon as the female reporter's voice fell, the cameras fell on the sapphire necklace on her desk one after another, and the cameramen of various media directly took close-ups.
"As we all know, this necklace is a dowry gift given by an unfavored prince who sold his property and married the princess. Later, the prince became king, and this necklace became a token of love between the two of them, implying the love of his life. .”
The female reporter asked with a smile, "May I ask, Ms. Lin, do you have someone you want to be with for the rest of your life?"
After she finished speaking, the microphone was passed to Lin Xi.
Haste suddenly appeared on Lin Xi's face, she was silent for three seconds, and still took the phone.
Reporters from various media gave thumbs up to the female reporter who asked the question. Dare to ask such a question, she is really a role model in the industry!
At the same time, Chu Muqing was also waiting for Lin Xi's answer.
Even... She already knew clearly that Lin Xi's necklace was for the lady at her table.
Lin Xi took a deep breath, raised his head, and smiled generously at the camera: "Yes, this necklace is indeed for the person I like."
The reporters were shocked!
They were originally here to write a charity article, but they never expected to find such a big news.
The third lady of Chuangrong Group, who had never appeared in front of the media, could not be interviewed, and she even revealed that she had a crush!
This is almost pre-ordered on the front page!
The female reporter continued to ask: "Miss Lin, is your favorite present?"
Lin Xi paused, and replied, "Yes, she is here."
Afraid of missing this opportunity, the female reporter hurriedly said, "I wonder if Ms. Lin can personally deliver this necklace, which symbolizes love, to the person you like?"
Lin Xi thought for a moment, then smiled awkwardly: "This is not good, and this time it is mainly about charity. I don't want to take up the precious time of friends in the media because of personal relationship issues."
"It's okay, Miss Lin!"
"We love it when you take our time!"
"Really, everyone wants to eat dog food!"
Lin Xi: ...
Lin Xi had no choice but to stand up slowly and picked up the sapphire necklace at the same time.
Followed by the media cameras all the way, following the eyes of all the guests present, she took a step and walked slowly towards the direction where Chu Muqing was.
She came to Chu Muqing, stood still, and looked at her carefully.
Chu Muqing obviously didn't expect her to come over, she was stunned for a moment, raised her eyes to look at her with the same cold gaze, but quickly frowned again.
Lin Xi didn't know what to do, and his expression was already tense to the naked eye.
"I..." She opened her lips: "This..."
Under the lens of the media, the person who was still talking casually just now was so nervous that he couldn't speak.
The reporters suddenly felt amused.
The third miss of the Lin family, isn't she a strict wife?
And what were these two people arguing about just now?
What do you mean by bidding against each other for a necklace and being reluctant to spend money on the other side?
Chu Muqing raised her eyes, her eyes fell on her face, and there was a slight smile in her eyes: "Huh?"
When Lin Xi was in a panic, he showed her the bright necklace and asked carefully, "Do you like it?"
The smile in Chu Muqing's eyes deepened.
Lin Xi couldn't figure out what she meant, so he reached out and put the necklace on her neck.
In front of the media, she murmured softly, "Whether you like it or not, it's yours anyway."
The reporters immediately:? ? ? ?
What the hell is this boss speech? ? ?
But they couldn't help but feel sad. They asked for the dog food on their own initiative, and now they gave it away.
What else can I say besides saying that I deserve it!
The reporters took what they wanted to take, and took a few more pictures of the two before leaving.
The dinner party had already started, everyone had different thoughts, turned around from time to time, and glanced in the direction of Lin Xi and Chu Muqing.
Lin Xi stayed by Chu Muqing's side the whole time, and she just stood there without saying a word.
But the man beside Chu Muqing couldn't take it anymore.
He slapped the table and stood up, glanced at Chu Muqing unwillingly, turned his head and left.
Of course he had to leave, just now in front of Lin Xi's girlfriend, he scolded Lin Xi for gaining fame, now that she came over directly, how could he have the face to continue to stay?
And the woman who helped him just now also stood up and hurriedly followed his footsteps.
As soon as the two left, the others followed suit.
It's really embarrassing. If they had known early on that the woman at the same table was Miss Lin San's girlfriend, they wouldn't have spoken out about those rumors that were hard to tell whether they were true or not!
Now I am so embarrassed that I want to find a crack in the ground to get in, what else can I do besides leave immediately?
But in fact, it wasn't just this table that left early, Mo Beichen and Chu Jinglan were also there.
The two had different ideas. What Mo Beichen thought was that Chu Muqing actually married into the Lin family for money.
But what Chu Jinglan thought was that the weather was getting colder, and Second Uncle Chu's family might be going bankrupt soon...
It's no wonder she thinks so. With Lin Xi's identity here, and in front of the media, he openly showed his love to Chu Muqing, obviously he took her to heart.
From this point of view, even if she has never had a good relationship with Chu Muqing, she should clear up her relationship with Second Uncle Chu as soon as possible to save Chi Yu from being affected.
When Lin Xi saw that the seat next to Chu Muqing was vacant, she subconsciously sat down immediately. She tilted her head, but Chu Muqing didn't intend to talk to her at all.
He didn't even ask her why she suddenly changed and became Lin Zhourong's daughter.
It's just...why did Chu Muqing ignore her?
angry?
Angry because she hid her identity, or because of that necklace?
But... no matter what purpose Chu Muqing had just now, when he wanted to bid for that necklace with her, didn't it all fall into her hands in the end?
"You—" Lin Xi looked at Chu Muqing who was calmly drinking champagne beside him: "Did you come by car?"
Chu Muqing glanced at her lightly: "What's the matter?" She smiled again: "Are you not allowed to drink?"
Lin Xi listened to the joking tone in her words, and carefully looked at her face, it didn't look like she was drunk.
"No..." Lin Xi hurriedly said, "It's okay, the driver can take us back."
Chu Muqing turned sideways, her eyes were pressed down, but the wine in her hand didn't stop.
As soon as she finished, the hotel waiter immediately poured it for her.
Repeated several times in a row, Chu Muqing had already drank a lot.
Lin Xi felt that this could not go on any longer, so he directly grabbed her wrist: "Enough."
Chu Muqing thought for a while, her eyes fixed on her finger joints.
Lin Xi frowned, and immediately let go of her.
"I think, if you want to hear me explain—"
Chu Muqing looked at her with raised eyebrows: "Why should I listen to your explanation?"
"Ah?...No, don't you need an explanation?" Lin Xi cautiously probed.
Chu Muqing raised her fingertips impatiently, rubbed the position of her temples, and then let out another breath.
Lin Xi reacted for a long time, until she saw the haze in her eyes, and then realized that Chu Muqing's consciousness had obviously become unconscious.
She is drunk.
Chu Muqing looked at her for a while, blinked at her, and suddenly smiled and said, "What should I do, is it a little hot?"
Lin Xi: ...
Never take off your clothes!
real!Great crowd!
For this reason, she stared closely at Chu Muqing's hand, for fear that she would do something outrageous when she was drunk!
Absolutely not!
"Boss Kobayashi..."
Chu Muqing's eyes flickered more and more uncertainly, and at the same time as she called out her name with red lips, her body suddenly leaned towards her.
Lin Xi hugged her subconsciously.
Smelling the cold fragrance on the other person's body, her heart beat wildly.
"--what?"
Chu Muqing raised her eyes slightly in her arms, her red lips opened and closed.
After a few seconds, Lin Xi heard her say in a coquettish tone: "It's too hot, Mr. Xiao Lin can't do it, can you turn up the air conditioner?"
Lin Xi: "...?"
She sighed again with great regret: "Could it be that President Xiaolin of Chuangrong Group can't even do such trivial things?"
Lin Xi: ...
However, although--
Is it not impossible?
Lin Xi was helpless, and apologized to the waiter beside him, "Please go and turn on the air conditioner."
The waiter suppressed a smile and said with a straight face, "Okay Mr. Lin."
He didn't hold back again: "—Pfft!"
Lin Xi: ...? ? ?
This is really not right.
Why is Chu Muqing here?
Did she get it wrong?Impossible at all...
She must be scaring herself. There is no such thing as a coincidence in the world.
While his heart was beating wildly, Lin Xi subconsciously stood up and couldn't help but search for Chu Muqing.
In the dimly lit gorgeous banquet hall, following the host's excited voice, dazzling light instantly gathered to the southeast corner of the entire banquet hall.
At the moment when the beam of bright light fell, everyone's eyes also gathered in unison.
The woman on the seat was wearing a dark blue evening dress. The deep V dress made her more fair and beautiful, with exquisite and fair facial features, and smooth neck lines. The hair is smooth and delicate.
Lin Xi's breathing was almost stagnant.
It was a face that was kissed by an angel, which made her extremely familiar.
At the place where the lights gather, the cold woman in a luxurious evening dress is too stunning.
Lin Xi's eyes were on Chu Muqing from the beginning to the end.
Her cool and dignified demeanor is the same as before, her brows are still cold, but her noble and elegant demeanor makes everyone present look sideways.
The host's voice came from the podium: "Miss Chu Muqing bid 1000 million! Is there any more than 1000 million?"
At the same time, the admiration of everyone in the field was endless.
"Why didn't you notice just now, there is such a beauty?"
"Whose Miss? Why haven't I seen it before?"
"Is it okay to let you see it? Your young master Qin is going to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade again?"
"Tsk tsk, this cold beauty is the most tasteful. This temperament alone makes me ignore the gender, even if she is in love with me, I will recognize her."
"Don't be kidding, there is a good show to watch now."
"The beauty is throwing 1000 million, and it depends on whether Miss Lin Jiasan will hand over this collection to others."
"What are you thinking? Do you think Lin San is the kind of person who pity the fragrance and cherish the jade? What kind of person does she want but can't get?"
Lin Xi: ...
Her brain is about to explode, this is not a matter of pity and pity!
But if Chu Muqing likes it, if she wants to bid, give her 1 guts, and she won't dare to compete with Chu Muqing!
But where did Chu Muqing get the money?
Isn't she going to sell the house?
Lin Xi had no idea what Chu Muqing's purpose was.
All she knew was that Chu Muqing had no money, and she had just personally raised the price to 1000 million.
It's over, it's over, it's all messed up...
It was all messed up.
Who can tell her what happened?
At the same time, because Chu Muqing's mentality collapsed, she was far from the only one who felt incredible.
Chu Jing gritted her blue teeth: Where did Chu Muqing get the money from? !
Guan Jin frowned tightly, looked at Chu Muqing without saying a word.
Even Mrs. Guan couldn't help but look at the beautiful girl in surprise, didn't she say that the child is not allowed to take pictures?
And Mo Beichen didn't know whether to see Lin Xi or Chu Muqing...
Chu Jinglan raised her head curiously, and the moment she saw Lin Xi's face clearly, she was stunned.
"Beichen... I just found out that the person who married my sister was the third miss of the Lin family?! Then we offended her before..."
Mo Beichen's headache became even more severe after hearing her words.
He looked at Lin Xi angrily, then at Chu Muqing, and then turned his head to look at Lin Xi unwillingly.
Even though he tried his best to maintain his quality on weekdays, he still couldn't help but cursed: "Fuck!"
Chu Jinglan: "Are you sick? Who are you scolding?!"
Mo Beichen held the bidding card in his hand fiercely: "Curse me!"
Chu Jinglan: ...?
At the same time, the host's excited voice resounded throughout the audience: "1000 million, the first time!"
Lin Xi: ...
She stretched her body the whole time, trying to see Chu Muqing.
As long as Chu Muqing can look at her and give her a glance, she will roughly know Chu Muqing's purpose.
However, that person sat upright from the beginning to the end, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and the profile of his profile was absolutely beautiful——
But Chu Muqing just didn't look at her! !
"1000 million, the second time!"
The host's excited voice was like a reminder, and Lin Xi felt his heart beating.
The drumbeats were pounding so densely that her little heart could hardly bear it.
Can Chu Muqing take a look at her? Can he!
"1000 million, the first—"
Lin Xi subconsciously tilted her head and looked at the housekeeper.
The butler immediately understood her intention and raised the sign directly.
The host was stunned for three seconds, and then said more excitedly: "Miss Lin Xi, the bid is 50 million!"
"Hahaha! What did I say? How could Lin San feel pity for the fragrance and cherish the jade?"
"Pfft! Hahahahaha! It's very interesting. In order to gain popularity, I offended all the beauties."
"Lin San, why doesn't she have any gentlemanly demeanor?"
"But put it down, you don't remember what she is like in the rumors? She has a gentlemanly demeanor. She is an Alpha who can fight with Omega in the street. How can she have a gentlemanly demeanor?"
Lin Xi: ...
What others say about her, she can take it as scolding the original body, and it has nothing to do with her.
But...Chu Muqing shouldn't bid anymore, right?
"50 million for the first time!"
"50 million for the second time!"
The host is ready to strike the hammer and sell this collection.
However, the next moment, he shouted loudly again: "Miss Chu Muqing, the bid is 100 million!"
Lin Xi: ...?
why?
……
Lin Xi was about to cry helplessly, so he could only signal the butler to continue raising the placard.
After she raised her card again, Chu Muqing continued to follow.
All of a sudden, the lights of the audience slid back and forth in the direction of her and Chu Muqing.
The host's voice became more and more excited.
After repeated several times, the host said again: "Miss Lin Xi, bid 2000 million!"
Lin Xi immediately looked in Chu Muqing's direction. The man was tucking his chin slightly, and his eyes were all on the screen of the mobile phone in her hand.
After a while, she finally looked up.
Looking in the host's direction, he didn't raise his placard again.
Lin Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
That's right, if you spend money on charitable things, just let her come, and Chu Muqing will stop robbing her.
In the end, as the host dropped the auction hammer, Lin Xi made a contribution to charity on behalf of the Lin family with a transaction price of 2000 million.
Lin Xi cast his eyes over, Chu Muqing's eyes were lowered, but his eyes were still on the phone screen.
Who is she messaging?
At the same time, the voices of discussion around him also followed closely.
It's nothing more than saying that she likes to pretend to be in the limelight.
"Sister..." Xu Moran couldn't help but looked at her with a smile, and asked, "After hearing those people say that about you, what do you think?"
Lin Xi: "..."
Lin Xi said bitterly: "A dog can't spit out ivory."
"Pfft, so you are, you don't care about anything for your wife? Spend a lot of money for beauty?"
Lin Xi looked back from Chu Muqing's side, lowered his eyes, and thought for a while, "I think it's a mistake that will cause eternal hatred, and looking back, it's been a hundred years..."
Xu Moran: "??"
Lin Xi pinched her swollen and painful temples indiscriminately: "Don't look at me so surprised, to be honest, I don't know what I'm talking about."
Xu Moran: "?????"
Xu Moran looked at her for a while, then suddenly asked: "Are all of you Alphas so nervous?"
Lin Xi: "?"
Xu Moran had a good attitude and tried his best to sell: "Do you need me to help you with psychological counseling? Since we have known each other for four or five years, I will give you a [-]% discount?"
Lin Xi was expressionless for a moment: "No need to thank you."
Xu Moran: "Why are you getting more and more stingy? Oh, I see, it's you who are only stingy to me."
Lin Xi: ...
Xu Moran: "I think you are quite generous to your Omega."
Lin Xi: ...
Xu Moran: "If she were here tonight and saw you taking pictures of her 2000 million necklace, she would be so touched that she would cry."
Lin Xi: ...
She didn't know whether Chu Muqing was moved or not, but at this moment, she really didn't dare to move.
Didn't dare to move at all.
Her mind was indeed in a state of extreme confusion, and she couldn't understand Chu Muqing at all.
Did Chu Muqing bid with her because she recognized that she was angry with her, or because of something else...
But thinking about it carefully, she should be angry.
A person with such a bad reputation married her incognito, he should be angry, right?
But in fact, you can also think in a different direction, the prodigal son turns back or something...
Lin Xi couldn't figure out Chu Muqing's intention at all, and the intense bidding continued.
Fortunately, Chu Muqing did not bid with her again, and kept quiet throughout the process.
Lin Xi then held up the placard himself, and took pictures of the collection several times in succession.
She was in the limelight for a while, and everyone avoided her edge.
At the same time, the flashlights of the media fell on her.
Lin Xi graciously allowed the media to take pictures, and even smiled in cooperation with them.
On the other side, Chu Muqing calmly withdrew her gaze from Lin Xi.
With an increasingly indifferent expression on his face, he looked at the phone.
[Chu Tuxin: What's the situation? 2000? ]
Chu Muqing paused, and replied: [Well, it exceeded your expectations. ]
[Chu Tuxin: After the necklace is photographed, it can be sold for at most two thousand and one two after a while. In this way, there is really no need for you to help me take pictures. ]
[Chu Tuxin: It's okay, I don't blame you, I'm just curious who took the picture. ]
Chu Muqing's knuckles holding the phone deepened, and she paused for a few seconds before replying: [Miss Chuangrong Group. ]
[Chu Tuxin: I thought it was someone who was so generous, but it turned out to be her, so I have no objection. ]
[Chu Tuxin: Have you talked to her about shares? ]
Chu Muqing paused slightly with her fingertips: [There is no need to talk. ]
[Chu Tuxin:? ?It's not necessary. ]
[Chu Tuxin: Great niece, I don't really care about a piece of collection, if you can't buy it, forget it, why don't you think again? ]
Chu Muqing: ...
On the podium, the auction is still in full swing.
Chu Muqing's eyes glanced away again.
Lin Xi was sitting at the master's seat, surrounded by the radio media, under the spotlight of the media, she was like a star holding the moon.
Such Lin Xi is completely different from the person she subconsciously had before.
The media's focus is all on her. She has the same face, but her temperament is completely different from before. The Lin Xi in her subconscious is pragmatic and humble. When did she live like this?
However, what she didn't know was that Lin Xi's pretense was almost unbearable.
Xu Moran smiled, and asked her in a low voice, "Why are you nervous?"
Lin Xi sank her sore shoulders a little. She couldn't tell Xu Moran that she deliberately made a concave shape in front of the camera, right?
"I'm nervous..." Lin Xi thought for a while, "Would my wife like the vases and necklaces I took?"
"???" Xu Moran was directly speechless by her: "Die! You call tens of millions of porcelain vases? These things are almost over [-] million, why don't you give it to me? I like it very much."
Lin Xi coughed lightly and smiled: "Well, then you can pick whatever you like."
Xu Moran looked at the collection brought over by the staff on the table, and saw the necklace at a glance.
She deliberately picked it up: "So generous? How about this one?"
Lin Xi froze for a moment: "Ah...this one won't work, you can choose something else."
Xu Moran deliberately teased her, but instead measured her neck: "Does it look good?"
Lin Xi persuaded him nervously: "Look at that vase, it's not bad..."
"You're kidding!" Xu Moran laughed, and put down the necklace again: "How could I snatch Mrs. Xiaolin's things?"
Chu Muqing looked at them for a while, her eyes gradually narrowed, and finally she withdrew her cold gaze.
After an unknown amount of time, the tense auction session finally came to an end.
After Mrs. Guan, the organizer of this charity auction, gave a speech, the lights in the venue were turned on again, and the dinner officially began.
And Lin Xi, as the "biggest winner" tonight, accepted the media interview after Mrs. Guan's interview.
Chu Muqing really lost the interest in enjoying the exquisite food in front of her, she looked at the time on the phone from time to time.
Time passed by, and the media asked Lin Xi several questions one after another. Chu Muqing was not thinking about that, and besides, she was far away from Lin Xi, so she didn't hear what Lin Xi was saying at all.
It's just that she subconsciously felt that she responded smoothly, the whole process was related to charity, and her conversation was funny, which made the reporters around laugh too.
Beside him, a man smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao Lin is really showing off tonight. Before, he didn't even show his face in front of the media. Now that he shows up, he has directly gained a wave of favor from philanthropists."
"It's just...is it unreasonable to talk about charity in front of the media with money from the Lin family?"
"Isn't that what they said? Without the Lin family, she would be nothing."
"That's not right." The other person at the same table answered, "How did I hear that Mrs. Lin has a lot of property?"
"Mrs. Lin? No way, didn't she bring Lin San out of the village?"
"Even if there is property, it depends on the Lin family."
"In the final analysis, Chuangrong Group will belong to Lin Licheng sooner or later. It doesn't mean that Lin San can't even get in Chuangrong Group. After all, there is a difference between closeness and estrangement."
These people's words were not good, and when they reached Chu Muqing's ears, they felt a little harsh.
Lin Xi told her before that she didn't have a good childhood, and later she worked diligently and rented a house by herself.
When did such a pragmatic and diligent person become as unbearable as they said?
Chu Muqing glanced away, and Lin Xi was facing the camera with a polite smile.
Her tone was very sincere: "In addition, on behalf of Chuangrong Group, I donated an additional 3000 million to children in mountainous areas to buy books. I hope that the children can study hard and succeed in their studies. our country."
As soon as she spoke, the media once again stepped forward to take pictures.
Nearby, the man beside him snorted coldly: "Take the Lin family's money for charity, and use the name to gain fame and whitewash what she did before?"
Chu Muqing's phoenix eyes paused slightly, and she looked at him coldly.
When the man saw the cold beauty who was silent the whole time and looked up, he thought he was lucky and wanted to strike up a conversation.
"What's the matter, Miss Chu?"
A faint smile slowly appeared on Chu Muqing's red lips, and she asked them, "Wanting fame?"
The other party thought she thought so too, and couldn't help laughing happily: "Isn't it just for fame, you don't know what she was like in the rumors."
Chu Muqing sneered with red lips, and asked back: "If Lin Xi is fishing for fame, I dare to ask you, have you ever photographed any of the collections?"
man:"……"
He froze for a moment, heard something in her words, frowned and argued, "Is it because I don't want to shoot? Ask everyone here, who dares to compete with her? You didn't and you couldn't compete for the 2000 million one." necklace?"
Chu Muqing smiled lightly and did not speak again.
The others all fell silent. It is true that none of the people at this table dared to challenge Lin Xi.
But it doesn't mean that other people won't. Lin Xi only photographed a few of them, while other items in Mrs. Guan's collection were photographed by others.
Lin Xi did not raise his placard during the process.
The man knew that he had lost face, he was embarrassed and didn't say a word.
The woman walking with him looked at Chu Muqing displeasedly, and said, "Why are you helping her talk?" She sneered, and said sarcastically, "Even if you help her talk, she won't see it, and she won't see it at all." I won't take your case, and it's okay if you can't take a picture of that necklace, the one sitting with her is the second lady of General Xu's family."
Chu Muqing paused: "General Xu?"
The woman sneered: "Xu Moran, none of the family backgrounds present can match her, and she is an Omega, so I don't blame Lin San for flattering her, after all, power lies here." The woman said more and more proudly: "But you What? If you speak for Lin San, can she accept your favor? She probably doesn't even know who you are?"
Chu Muqing exhaled, and said softly, "She is not such a person."
But Lin Xi did have a good chat with Xu Moran.
The woman sneered: "what you said is the same as her?"
That's the end of the conversation, Chu Muqing didn't speak any more.
The man glanced at his girlfriend gratefully, who smiled back triumphantly.
At this time, a female reporter took the initiative to walk not far away and picked up the microphone of the podium.
She walked back to the side of Lin Xi's host seat, cleared her throat, and asked Lin Xi: "Miss Lin, did you take a photo of the priceless princess necklace, is it for the person you like?"
Lin Xi was slightly taken aback.
Isn't the interview topic centered around charity?
Why did you start asking personal questions at the end of the interview?
As soon as the female reporter's voice fell, the cameras fell on the sapphire necklace on her desk one after another, and the cameramen of various media directly took close-ups.
"As we all know, this necklace is a dowry gift given by an unfavored prince who sold his property and married the princess. Later, the prince became king, and this necklace became a token of love between the two of them, implying the love of his life. .”
The female reporter asked with a smile, "May I ask, Ms. Lin, do you have someone you want to be with for the rest of your life?"
After she finished speaking, the microphone was passed to Lin Xi.
Haste suddenly appeared on Lin Xi's face, she was silent for three seconds, and still took the phone.
Reporters from various media gave thumbs up to the female reporter who asked the question. Dare to ask such a question, she is really a role model in the industry!
At the same time, Chu Muqing was also waiting for Lin Xi's answer.
Even... She already knew clearly that Lin Xi's necklace was for the lady at her table.
Lin Xi took a deep breath, raised his head, and smiled generously at the camera: "Yes, this necklace is indeed for the person I like."
The reporters were shocked!
They were originally here to write a charity article, but they never expected to find such a big news.
The third lady of Chuangrong Group, who had never appeared in front of the media, could not be interviewed, and she even revealed that she had a crush!
This is almost pre-ordered on the front page!
The female reporter continued to ask: "Miss Lin, is your favorite present?"
Lin Xi paused, and replied, "Yes, she is here."
Afraid of missing this opportunity, the female reporter hurriedly said, "I wonder if Ms. Lin can personally deliver this necklace, which symbolizes love, to the person you like?"
Lin Xi thought for a moment, then smiled awkwardly: "This is not good, and this time it is mainly about charity. I don't want to take up the precious time of friends in the media because of personal relationship issues."
"It's okay, Miss Lin!"
"We love it when you take our time!"
"Really, everyone wants to eat dog food!"
Lin Xi: ...
Lin Xi had no choice but to stand up slowly and picked up the sapphire necklace at the same time.
Followed by the media cameras all the way, following the eyes of all the guests present, she took a step and walked slowly towards the direction where Chu Muqing was.
She came to Chu Muqing, stood still, and looked at her carefully.
Chu Muqing obviously didn't expect her to come over, she was stunned for a moment, raised her eyes to look at her with the same cold gaze, but quickly frowned again.
Lin Xi didn't know what to do, and his expression was already tense to the naked eye.
"I..." She opened her lips: "This..."
Under the lens of the media, the person who was still talking casually just now was so nervous that he couldn't speak.
The reporters suddenly felt amused.
The third miss of the Lin family, isn't she a strict wife?
And what were these two people arguing about just now?
What do you mean by bidding against each other for a necklace and being reluctant to spend money on the other side?
Chu Muqing raised her eyes, her eyes fell on her face, and there was a slight smile in her eyes: "Huh?"
When Lin Xi was in a panic, he showed her the bright necklace and asked carefully, "Do you like it?"
The smile in Chu Muqing's eyes deepened.
Lin Xi couldn't figure out what she meant, so he reached out and put the necklace on her neck.
In front of the media, she murmured softly, "Whether you like it or not, it's yours anyway."
The reporters immediately:? ? ? ?
What the hell is this boss speech? ? ?
But they couldn't help but feel sad. They asked for the dog food on their own initiative, and now they gave it away.
What else can I say besides saying that I deserve it!
The reporters took what they wanted to take, and took a few more pictures of the two before leaving.
The dinner party had already started, everyone had different thoughts, turned around from time to time, and glanced in the direction of Lin Xi and Chu Muqing.
Lin Xi stayed by Chu Muqing's side the whole time, and she just stood there without saying a word.
But the man beside Chu Muqing couldn't take it anymore.
He slapped the table and stood up, glanced at Chu Muqing unwillingly, turned his head and left.
Of course he had to leave, just now in front of Lin Xi's girlfriend, he scolded Lin Xi for gaining fame, now that she came over directly, how could he have the face to continue to stay?
And the woman who helped him just now also stood up and hurriedly followed his footsteps.
As soon as the two left, the others followed suit.
It's really embarrassing. If they had known early on that the woman at the same table was Miss Lin San's girlfriend, they wouldn't have spoken out about those rumors that were hard to tell whether they were true or not!
Now I am so embarrassed that I want to find a crack in the ground to get in, what else can I do besides leave immediately?
But in fact, it wasn't just this table that left early, Mo Beichen and Chu Jinglan were also there.
The two had different ideas. What Mo Beichen thought was that Chu Muqing actually married into the Lin family for money.
But what Chu Jinglan thought was that the weather was getting colder, and Second Uncle Chu's family might be going bankrupt soon...
It's no wonder she thinks so. With Lin Xi's identity here, and in front of the media, he openly showed his love to Chu Muqing, obviously he took her to heart.
From this point of view, even if she has never had a good relationship with Chu Muqing, she should clear up her relationship with Second Uncle Chu as soon as possible to save Chi Yu from being affected.
When Lin Xi saw that the seat next to Chu Muqing was vacant, she subconsciously sat down immediately. She tilted her head, but Chu Muqing didn't intend to talk to her at all.
He didn't even ask her why she suddenly changed and became Lin Zhourong's daughter.
It's just...why did Chu Muqing ignore her?
angry?
Angry because she hid her identity, or because of that necklace?
But... no matter what purpose Chu Muqing had just now, when he wanted to bid for that necklace with her, didn't it all fall into her hands in the end?
"You—" Lin Xi looked at Chu Muqing who was calmly drinking champagne beside him: "Did you come by car?"
Chu Muqing glanced at her lightly: "What's the matter?" She smiled again: "Are you not allowed to drink?"
Lin Xi listened to the joking tone in her words, and carefully looked at her face, it didn't look like she was drunk.
"No..." Lin Xi hurriedly said, "It's okay, the driver can take us back."
Chu Muqing turned sideways, her eyes were pressed down, but the wine in her hand didn't stop.
As soon as she finished, the hotel waiter immediately poured it for her.
Repeated several times in a row, Chu Muqing had already drank a lot.
Lin Xi felt that this could not go on any longer, so he directly grabbed her wrist: "Enough."
Chu Muqing thought for a while, her eyes fixed on her finger joints.
Lin Xi frowned, and immediately let go of her.
"I think, if you want to hear me explain—"
Chu Muqing looked at her with raised eyebrows: "Why should I listen to your explanation?"
"Ah?...No, don't you need an explanation?" Lin Xi cautiously probed.
Chu Muqing raised her fingertips impatiently, rubbed the position of her temples, and then let out another breath.
Lin Xi reacted for a long time, until she saw the haze in her eyes, and then realized that Chu Muqing's consciousness had obviously become unconscious.
She is drunk.
Chu Muqing looked at her for a while, blinked at her, and suddenly smiled and said, "What should I do, is it a little hot?"
Lin Xi: ...
Never take off your clothes!
real!Great crowd!
For this reason, she stared closely at Chu Muqing's hand, for fear that she would do something outrageous when she was drunk!
Absolutely not!
"Boss Kobayashi..."
Chu Muqing's eyes flickered more and more uncertainly, and at the same time as she called out her name with red lips, her body suddenly leaned towards her.
Lin Xi hugged her subconsciously.
Smelling the cold fragrance on the other person's body, her heart beat wildly.
"--what?"
Chu Muqing raised her eyes slightly in her arms, her red lips opened and closed.
After a few seconds, Lin Xi heard her say in a coquettish tone: "It's too hot, Mr. Xiao Lin can't do it, can you turn up the air conditioner?"
Lin Xi: "...?"
She sighed again with great regret: "Could it be that President Xiaolin of Chuangrong Group can't even do such trivial things?"
Lin Xi: ...
However, although--
Is it not impossible?
Lin Xi was helpless, and apologized to the waiter beside him, "Please go and turn on the air conditioner."
The waiter suppressed a smile and said with a straight face, "Okay Mr. Lin."
He didn't hold back again: "—Pfft!"
Lin Xi: ...? ? ?
