The two chatted for a while, and Ning Shishen went to greet so acquaintances.
He asked Mu Yan, "Do you want to co with ? I can introduce you to so people."
Mu Yan smiled slightly, "I’d rather not."
If she went with him, people would definitely misunderstand.
If rumors spread, the one at ho would probably be very upset.
Ning Shishen understood her thoughts and didn’t insist.
"Don’t wander too far. If soone tries to talk to you and you can’t handle it, have your assistant find ."
"Okay, thank you, Brother Ning!" Mu Yan said with a smile.
Ning Shishen nodded and walked forward.
Luo Yao watched his back and whispered, "That Mr. Ning is really quite nice."
"Right." Mu Yan nodded.
Although he was from a wealthy family, he had none of the airs of a rich heir.
In this regard, his brother Ning Ze was a lot like him, which showed that the Ning Family had a good family tradition.
Not far away, a woman in a bright red long dress was staring this way, her eyes full of disdain.
"Mrs. Gao, what are you looking at?" a friend beside her asked.
Zhao Jia Min looked at her and smiled slightly, "Nothing, Mrs. Zhou, the jewelry on your neck is really beautiful."
Mrs. Zhou’s face lit up with a smile, "It’s alright, only five million. It’s nothing to Mrs. Gao."
Before long, the charity auction began.
Ning Shishen returned, leading Mu Yan to the front seats.
All the guests looked towards the stage, and the female host took her place.
"Esteed guests, ladies and gentlen..."
Her speech was fluent, her voice clear, and the entire hall quieted down.
Mu Yan watched the stage without blinking, waiting for the auction items to be announced.
Ning Shishen noticed her unusual behavior and asked, "Are you nervous?"
Mu Yan felt a bit embarrassed, "Yes, it’s my first ti at an auction. I’ve never bid before, and I’m afraid I’ll make a fool of myself."
Ning Shishen chuckled, her reaction was typical of a young girl in her twenties.
"Don’t worry, just imagine you’re buying vegetables at the market."
Mu Yan, "..."
Then these must be expensive vegetables.
Soon, the host announced a few auction items.
As Ning Shishen said, the auction items weren’t very high-value, not the rare pink or blue diamonds Mu Yan imagined.
Most were donated items, including clothes, bags, watches, etc.
The first auction item was a Cartier diamond watch, sothing Mu Yan didn’t understand.
She asked Ning Shishen beside her, "How much is this watch?"
Ning Shishen glanced at it and replied, "The new watch is about a million, it should fetch around ten million here."
Mu Yan nodded and didn’t ask further.
As Ning Shishen predicted, the watch was eventually auctioned off for eleven million to a wealthy woman.
Mu Yan let out a light sigh of relief, waiting for the next auction item.
She wasn’t planning to bid on bags or clothes.
Although it was for charity, she wanted to bid on sothing practical.
She already had a closet full of clothes and bags, so never worn or used.
Finally, it was the limited edition album, a ten-year classic collection by soul singer Zhang Chu, with a starting price of half a million.
Mu Chen liked listening to music, so Mu Yan had been eyeing this album for a while.
When the host announced the start, Mu Yan imdiately raised her sign.
The host saw her and said with a smile, "Miss Mu Yan bid so quickly, it seems she really likes this album. Half a million, anyone want to bid higher?"
The attendees here were all political and business elites, usually disdainful of actresses like Mu Yan.
But seeing her next to Ning Shishen, they had second thoughts.
Mu Yan didn’t care about the scrutinizing gazes around her, she focused on the stage, if no one else bid, the album would be hers.
Just then, soone in the crowd raised a sign to increase the bid.
The host looked pleasantly surprised, "Mrs. Gao bids one million!"
The crowd instantly erupted in gasps.
Mu Yan followed the direction of the crowd’s gaze, a hint of surprise in her eyes, it was her!
