Bai Zian suddenly heard someone calling him affectionately, but when he turned around, he found that it was not someone he knew.

The young man had a handsome appearance, and his gestures gave people a warm feeling, but his temperament seemed to be more dignified than some of the people present, and he seemed to be from a wealthy family.

"Hiss, isn't this the young master of the Si family?" Someone whispered, "I didn't expect the Bai family to have a relationship with this..."

And Bai Hao also frowned and looked at Bai Zi'an after seeing Si Chengjin come forward, he asked in a deep voice:

"Do you know Si Chengjin?"

Hearing this, Bai Zian raised his eyes to meet Si Chengjin's. The man smiled back at him, and said in a familiar tone:

"Xiaobai, don't you recognize me if you haven't seen me for many years?"

Bai Zian is sure that he has never had any intersection with this Young Master Si in his life, but...

Si Chengjin was the only person present who was willing to believe him, and even offered to take him in.

This is an invitation letter specially given to him by his father. If he doesn’t go back, he will ask him how his game is going or questions about the collection. If he can’t go in, he won’t be able to answer.But he also didn't want to tell his father about Bai Hao's treatment of him. It would only make Bai's father angry, and Bai Hao might think of new ways to deal with him.

Bai Zian quickly made a decision. He smiled, as if he was a little embarrassed, and said, "Why? How could I forget Brother Cheng Jin? It's just that I didn't realize it for a while."

After finishing speaking, he walked towards Si Chengjin, and said softly, "Thank you."

Bai Hao seemed to want to say something more, but seeing Si Chengjin dragging the people back into the team, he gritted his teeth and had no choice but to give up.

——When did this person get involved with the Si family?

The debate came to an end like this. There were still 10 minutes before the start of the auction, and the LaCrosse employees stepped up to check the invitation letter and the security check. Gu Xinghuai watched Bai Zian leave with Si Chengjin, and he also went to bed with Liang Youtian. The VIP room on the second floor.

iPads are placed in the boxes. In addition to bidding for auctions, customers can also place orders by selecting food in the above app, mostly snacks and desserts.

According to Liang Youtian's meaning, there will be thirty entrustments in this auction, and it will last at least two hours. They each chose food to satisfy their hunger, and the accompanying fruit plate was quickly brought in by the service staff. Gu Xinghuai tasted a few After the strawberries, the auction begins.

The initial collection made Gu Xinghuai confused. There were jewelry and real estate, but they were not what he was interested in.

On the contrary, Liang Youtian talked to Gu Xinghuai carefully like a connoisseur of treasures, sometimes he was more enthusiastic than the auctioneer on the stage said, and he also bought two of the collections.

"Now comes the highlight of today's auction - calligraphy and painting collection!" The auctioneer seemed more interested than before, and his tone became much higher.

"Today we not only have the legacy of the foreign abstract master Leo's "Mermaid Tears", two masterpieces of the super-realist painter Olivia, and the most important thing is "Snow Plum Picture" by our national treasure-level modern Chinese painting master Han Mo."

With the appearance of the display on the screen, Gu Xinghuai's appetite was also whetted.

Although he is still at the stage of understanding the painters in this world, he can also perceive the vigorous artistic vitality from the pictures.

Besides, he had heard of the names of these masters, especially the last master of brush and ink was Teacher Tong's mentor.

"I'll go, uncle really worked hard!" Liang Youtian also exclaimed when he saw these paintings, "Xing Huai, do you have anything you want to take?"

Gu Xinghuai nodded, but said in a regretful tone: "If I have money, I'll take it all!"

"Who isn't?" Liang Youtian was discouraged when he heard that, "Forget it, let's listen to the price first."

After all, both of them are juniors in the family. Liang Youtian has a strict spending target. He has spent 700 million just now, and 300 million is probably enough to shoot any of the paintings.

As for Gu Xinghuai, he simply felt that he hadn't created wealth for his family. If he continued to spend so much money, he would feel very sorry.

"I believe that everyone can't wait, so let's start!" the auctioneer said into the microphone, "The first thing to be auctioned is "Mermaid Tears."

A high-definition camera appeared on the big screen to add close-ups to the panorama of the mermaid tears, and whispered conversations sounded from the audience.

"Mermaid Tears" is an oil painting, not big in size, it looks like a decorative painting usually hung at home from above.

But it is so old, and it is Leo's last painting. It is rumored that the master made everything from paper to paint by himself.

The characters in the picture are lifelike. Under the dark and deep sea, the mermaid flicked its tail and swam upwards. The scales refracted fine colored light under the light. In the sparkling light, people saw the flawless face of the mermaid. The tears in the corners of the eyes only added to the charm, and the corners of the mouth were slightly upturned, making it difficult to tell which tears were shed due to emotions.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting better, the auctioneer said, "The starting price is 500 million, and the price will increase by no less than [-] each time. The auction begins!"

"550 million!"

"600 million!"

"700."

As soon as the announcement was made, the number of bidders decreased. After all, adding 100 million at a time seemed inevitable, and they had to reserve some budget for subsequent works.

Gu Xinghuai also wanted to join in the fun, but the voice sounded familiar, it should be Si Chen's.

——I didn't expect him to be interested in paintings...

The young man stopped pressing the keys, he didn't need to argue with Si Chen about this, and raised the price, maybe Si Chen was buying it to put it back at home, and he could still observe it when the time came.

The asking price didn't last long, and it was quickly taken down by Si Chen.

"780 once... 780 twice!"

"Deal! Congratulations to Mr. VIP08 for winning "Mermaid Tears!"

The remaining two surrealist paintings were also auctioned off by the audience at high prices of 800 million and 1000 million. In the end, it was the turn of "Snow Plum Picture". Under the explanation of the auctioneer, people were eager to move.

"The preciousness of "Snow Plum Picture" is obvious to all, so our starting price is 800 million, and each increase is no less than 20. The next auction begins!"

"1000 million!"

"40 million!"

"Okay, Ms. Wang from Room VIP03 here is bidding 100 million!"

The atmosphere on the field became anxious, and Liang Youtian picked up the tablet and joined in the quotation after listening.

Although he may not be able to get a shot, he still has to express his sincerity towards traditional Chinese painting. He has fought for it even after quoting the price, so he has no regrets.

After the young man finished calling the price, he saw Gu Xinghuai who was silent beside him, and asked, "What's wrong? What are you thinking?"

Gu Xinghuai came back to his senses, and looked at Liang Youtian: "Is it possible that there is something wrong with your auction commission? I mean this painting has been authenticated by someone..."

He suddenly remembered that he had seen this "Snow Plum Picture" when he was a guest at Mr. Tong's house. At that time, Mr. Tong said to him very proudly: "Before the teacher died, he didn't want to leave the painting to those who don't know how to paint. In the hands of their own people, they were transferred to us according to each person's style."

The cherishment in Tong Liansheng's tone couldn't be faked, and it didn't look like he would put the painting up for auction.

Liang Youtian: "Of course, all collections have been appraised by experienced teachers and fathers, and at least three people must take turns to be selected into the list."

Hearing this, Gu Xinghuai suppressed the doubts in his heart, maybe Teacher Tong had other ideas before planning to auction it.

Nearly 10 minutes later, the buyer of "Snow Plum Picture" has not yet been confirmed, and everyone's price increase is very strong. The ordinary seats in the audience gradually withdraw from the competition, but the people in the VIP box still have room to spare. The lady once again quoted a high price of 5000 million.

"5000 million once, 5000 million twice!"

Just when everyone thought that the painting was going to fall to Ms. Wang, the VIP room No. 02, which had been quiet all along, said, "120 million."

"120 million! Is there anyone raising the price?" the auctioneer excitedly said, but it was clear that Ms. Wang's highest price was 5000 million.

Si Chengjin in the room felt relieved when he heard the unwilling shout from the next door.

Sure enough, he took a picture of "Snow Plum Picture" in the end. After a while, an employee knocked on the door. After paying the deposit, the two confirmed the payment method of the final payment.

"Mr. Si, please wait a moment, our staff will bring the lot for you to inspect within 10 minutes." The manager said with a smile, and then used the microphone on the collar to talk to the staff.

Si Chengjin nodded, but she was a little skeptical about Si Chen's appearance at the auction. Could it be that someone told him that the old man of the Si family wanted to come back?

Si Yaozong has a strong body and has been traveling since his retirement. He said that he wanted to realize his dream of traveling around the world. A while ago, he was finally not used to foreign food. Before the Spring Festival, he clamored to come back for a change of appetite.

When Si Yaozong traveled abroad, he had just entered university, and in a blink of an eye he had already entered graduate school, but his relationship with the old man was not very good. Si Yaozong didn't like the way of education that Si Linhai and Luo Zi always spoiled him. , neither close nor alien to him, it's just that the old man is an elder with the right to speak at home, he still has to please him.

He remembered that Si Yaozong liked drinking tea and admiring paintings in the past, and he also admired the works of masters of ink and calligraphy. There are more than ten paintings he collected at home, among which plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum just happened to be "Appreciating Plums". It would be an extremely thoughtful gift if he gave it to Si Yaozong at that time.

But fortunately, he took this picture in the end, and I don't know why that person chose to shoot "Mermaid Tears".

What's more, the fact that Si Chen was his biological grandson was kept secret by the Si family's parents. After the old man in the previous life knew about it, he sent a message to let them return to their respective positions, and also provided Si Chen with a lot of help.

As for this time, if the old man still refuses to give in, he doesn't mind letting Si Yaozong pass away due to illness in advance.

"Master Si?"

A soft voice came from next to his ear, and Si Chengjin came back to his senses.

After meeting the man's eyes, Bai Zian thanked him again: "Thanks to having you here today, otherwise I might not be able to come in."

Si Chengjin waved his hands: "Actually, it was because of my brother that I helped."

"Your brother?"

"Well, his name is Si Chen. I remember he said that someone helped him when he was isolated in high school. He showed us photos. At that time, I thought you looked alike, so I wanted to help you."

Bai Zian was taken aback for a moment, when he heard Si Chengjin give the name of a high school, then he seemed to recall a vague figure in his memory, a boy with bangs that almost covered his eyes.

At that time, his mother had just passed away, and he was very confused. If that person hadn't noticed his strangeness and enlightened him, he might have chosen to leave this world with his mother.

"It's him..." Bai Zi'an murmured.

"So Xiaobai, since we are so destined, why don't we add a friend? Then we can introduce you to my brother."

"Okay!" The young man's eyes lit up, he nodded abruptly and quickly waved his hands: "I just want to thank you, if you need my help in the future, you can just say it, I have no other intentions!"

He was afraid that Si Chengjin would misunderstand him as someone who wanted to build a relationship with him. After all, judging from the reaction of the previous group of people, the Si family seemed to be very powerful.

Si Chengjin smiled and took out his cell phone: "Got it."

……

On the other side, Si Chen's box also came in with employees. Si Chen was blind and couldn't confirm the integrity of the painting, so he handed it over to Xie Yao. He decided to take Pine, who was resting on his stomach, first. He was worried that Pine would be suffocated in the room. broken.

"Si Chen?" A voice came from behind the man, and then the man stepped forward, "It's really you!"

Bai Zian didn't want to bother Si Chengjin for too long, so he planned to leave first. He didn't expect to run into the Si Chen described to him by Young Master Si as soon as he left the house. Rejecting people thousands of miles away.

Thinking of Si Chengjin's entrustment and his gratitude to Si Chen, he boldly stopped the man.

And he also has an inexplicable sense of familiarity with Si Chen.

Si Chen stopped in his tracks: "You are?"

"I'm Bai Zian. I used to be in the same high school as you. Do you still remember that you chatted with me on the rooftop after we finished our activities?"

"I remember." Si Chen seemed to recall it, and nodded at him, "What a coincidence."

Seeing that Si Chen didn't seem so tense, Bai Zian smiled and said, "I've always wanted to thank you. If it wasn't for you, I might have done something stupid."

At this moment, the door of the box that the two were facing was opened.

As soon as Gu Xinghuai opened the door, he saw the familiar Pine who was about to go up to rua, and then asked Si Chen if he wanted to go home together, when he heard another male voice say:

"So, can I treat classmate Si to a meal?"
