[Charles IX fanfic] Butterfly Kiss
Chapter 27 [27]
A few days later, there will be a charity auction in Nanheng, and there will be a dinner after the auction.As a well-known local family, the Lin family will of course attend.
Originally, the original owner was not interested in this kind of activity where political factors outweighed the significance of charity, which directly caused the media to catch up on it and wantonly smear and hype the original owner's personality as "a charming young lady who lacks charity".The original owner may not care about the image, but Lin Enran must care, so she took the initiative to ask her parents to go.
Of course, the auction is not her home game, her goal is the dinner party.
The Lin family will have a special box at the auction, but staying in the box would be much less fun, so Lin Enran chose to take out the seats.The parents had to sit in the box, and they were worried about their daughter, so they had to put their second son next to Lin Enran.
They came a bit late, and there were already many people sitting in the venue, and Lin Enran and his second brother, both in terms of family background and appearance, were the best among the people, and they were also the best among the rich and powerful in Nanheng.As soon as they showed up, they attracted a lot of attention.
Lin Enran was very satisfied with the spotlights and reporters in the corner, and his facial expression management skills came online instantly.
In the camera, Miss Lin's face is beautiful and white, her light rose lipstick looks good, and her long hair is coiled up to reveal a graceful swan neck.She was wearing a white mermaid skirt and a large light blue denim jacket, which made her skin look like white porcelain, which was described as a begonia.
When she was talking to her brother beside her, her eyebrows looked forward and there was a natural charm and flow, and any frame was a scenery.
The second brother said: "I remember you didn't like this kind of occasion before."
Lin Enran responded: "I don't like it now either. Life forces me."
The second elder brother raised his legs dignifiedly, looking for something in the venue with his narrow and narrow eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses: "Here, your husband is there."
"Second brother, don't make fun of me, I'm not your husband." Lin Enran also saw Tang Xiaoyi, separated from them by three or four rows, as if separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.
Mountains, rivers and rivers will meet each other eventually.
"Brother, I really want to ask you," Lin Enran said, "Why don't you object to me marrying him?"
That night, the second brother didn't say a word, he just sat there pretending to be empty.
The second brother shrugged, expressionless, very cold and cool: "I'm not interested in your young love affairs, I only know that if our family has nepotism with the Tang family, then I can make more money. "
"Brother, you are so real." I thought that the elder brother would say "I believe in your vision" and other touching words, but unexpectedly her second brother is a businessman through and through.
The second brother was silent for a while, and then said again: "I lied to you. I really think he is nice and treats you well. On the premise that you don't have a sweetheart, marrying him is indeed the best solution."
He observed Lin Enran: "You must want to ask again, why we all insist that you will not fall in love—or fall in love with Tang Xiaoyi."
Lin Enran nodded, and the second brother said in a cold tone, "Who would like dead straight men?"
puff.Why didn't she realize that her second brother was also a joker?
The auction has officially started, and all proceeds will be donated to charity after deducting costs.
The auction items were mediocre, and the bidding was not fierce. When Lin Enran looked through the list of auction items, she saw a white jade bracelet. She pointed it to her second brother, clearly expressing her wish of "I want it".
Anyway, her second brother is rich, and the money from auctioning off is just a drop in the bucket for him.
When the white jade bracelet was brought up, the reaction in the auction room was mediocre, and the second brother had obvious joy on his face: It is hopeful to save money!
The starting price was 20. The second brother was about to raise his placard, but someone jumped in first: "30."
Lin Enran was startled, because the bidder was Tang Xiaoyi.
The second brother's expression suddenly became cold, and he sneered: "30 just want to buy something my sister likes? Dreaming!"
He held up his sign and said firmly: "30!"
Lin Enran: Second brother, you are so real. Is 30 worth what I like?
Tang Xiaoyi looked back at the siblings, hesitant in his eyes, his eyes touched Lin Enran's, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.
He raised his sign again: "40."
Second brother: "40!"
Tang Xiaoyi: "50."
The second brother suddenly calmed down: "52."
Tang Xiaoyi's asking price suddenly became louder: "60!"
The second brother was the first to applaud: "Good! Congratulations! You won the lot at a price three times higher than the auction price!"
After the host made the final decision, the second brother was in high spirits and in a good mood, and he spoke with the ease of a successful person: "Actually, my budget is 40 yuan, and I don't want anything higher."
He turned to Lin Enran: "Do you know why I called 52?"
Lin Enran: "Simple, 520 chant, aggressive method."
There is no business without adultery, and her second brother is an excellent businessman.
"I can only give him a hand in this kind of thing..." The second brother pressed his temple, "Lin Enran, you don't know how terrifying he is in the business war, that's the real killing without blood."
Lin Enran had no expression on his face: "That's why I'm not happy. He's my husband-to-be, and if he doesn't know how to save money, his family fortune will ruin him sooner or later. Don't worry, second brother, I will educate him well."
The second brother looked at his younger sister, and wanted to ask her what kind of education method she would use, could it be love...
The second brother didn't dare to think about it.
■
After the auction ended, the home court was transferred to the dinner party.
Just now, the competition between the second youngest of the Lin family and the president of the Tang Corporation attracted the attention of many people. The second elder brother was surrounded by a group of Yingying and Yanyan, chirping and asking questions.Lin Enran, as a foil, became very free.
She walked around the banquet, while lamenting the luxury and wealth of these "high-class people", while contentedly allowing herself to blend into the singing and dancing.
The reason why the reporters didn't come to interview her was very simple—it was rumored that Miss Lin's temper was very bad, and no one wanted to take the trouble to please her.
Lin Enran was also happy to be at leisure.Before time-traveling, she was in the secondary market, and unlike the primary market, she needed to show her face every day, so she was not good at expressing herself in front of the camera.
After greeting her parents, Lin Enran slipped out through an inconspicuous side door.
The dinner party was held in a mountain villa. The main building is an improved ancient style building, and there is a landscape garden outside the door.In the dead of night, the walls, doors and windows cut off the noise of the crowd, only a few scattered lamps were lit in the lush garden, and more areas were kept in darkness.
Lin Enran walked along the path to the small pavilion and corridor at the end, the surrounding was so quiet that only the sound of her footsteps could be heard.The sound of the high heels hitting the ground seemed too loud, Lin Enran simply took off his shoes, and stepped barefoot on the uneven cobblestones.
The moon emerged from between the clouds, and the bright and clear moonlight moved to the top of the flower branches and cast on her through the gap, so her whole body was covered with silhouettes of flowers and leaves.
It's like a frame full of roses smelling the wind.
A man's footsteps sounded behind her, Lin Enran turned her head and saw Tang Xiaoyi following her footsteps.
He saw her turn around and stand under the dense branches bent down by numerous flowers. White and pink flowers bloomed on her face and on the top of her hair, and her face was so clear and fresh, like a branch. The freshest and most beautiful flower that just bloomed on the head.Light and shadow are divided on her face, ambiguous boundaries and blurred vision, like an ignorant girl who hastily broke into another world in the chaos of time.
There is a pool of clear spring water in the bottom of the eyes, like a piece of thin and round jade, which has been buried in the ancient tomb for thousands of years.
Tang Xiaoyi's eyes moved down and stopped on her hands holding the shoes.
One on the left and one on the right, with tall and slender heels, pointed and small heads, cute and delicate.
Lin Enran followed his line of sight to look at his hands, and shook his shoes nonchalantly: "Have you never seen Miss Lin being so indifferent to her personal image? Congratulations, I saw it today."
She turned around and continued walking towards the pavilion, stepping on the pebbles with her fair and petite feet, the uneven touch seemed to be giving her a massage.Tang Xiaoyi followed behind her, keeping a close distance.
"You don't seem to be wearing heavy makeup lately," he said.
Lin Enran didn't pick him up for a while.In fact, the original owner does not wear heavy makeup, but she prefers to use bright eye shadow and lip gloss because of her beauty.And Lin Enran is a business lady who is used to the financial industry, and her usual makeup tends to be mature and light-colored. Compared with the two, she now looks like a plain face without makeup.
She stopped before she was about to step out of the shadow of the flowering branches, bent down and put the high heels on the ground, and straightened up to look at Tang Xiaoyi.
There was darkness in her eyes, which blocked countless complex emotions, and she only looked at him with beautiful eyes.
"Have you seen my diary?" she said.
Originally, the original owner was not interested in this kind of activity where political factors outweighed the significance of charity, which directly caused the media to catch up on it and wantonly smear and hype the original owner's personality as "a charming young lady who lacks charity".The original owner may not care about the image, but Lin Enran must care, so she took the initiative to ask her parents to go.
