At eight o’clock on Saturday evening, in the business conference hall of Cloud Top Hotel, the Jiaxing Auction officially comnced.
The highlight of this auction was Luo Lin’s return; two of her artworks were up for bidding.
This news had been released early, and nearly all the art-loving elites of Beicheng flocked to Cloud Top Hotel that night. They were eager to witness Luo Lin’s artistic prowess, especially considering it had been several years since her works were last auctioned.
The Qin family, under Qin Siling’s arrangent, was given seats in the tenth row. To make his wife happy, Qin Han not only took a bidding paddle for himself but also got one with a matching number for his wife. Wang Keru didn’t say anything.
Shen Wanqing sat by Qin Siyuan’s side, feeling particularly excited. This was the upper-class society she had always dreamt of; no, it was a hundred tis more extravagant than she could have ever imagined!
Moreover, after tonight, she would also beco a celebrity! Uncle Qin had ntioned that he would use comrcial manipulation to raise the price of her painting. If it could surpass Luo Lin’s, then she would beco the next genius artist.
She had heard that after the auction, there would be a small cocktail party. By then, her fa would surely allow her to et more influential people, significantly increasing her own worth.
What could Gu Anxi’s little bit of skill count for then?
Just thinking about it made Shen Wanqing quiver with excitent!
By then, the conference hall was almost full; only the front row remained vacant. Shen Wanqing quietly asked Qin Siling, who lazily replied, "The front row is for the Four Great Families. Others can’t even touch the fringe."
A look of yearning appeared on Shen Wanqing’s face as the first row gradually began to fill.
The first to surprise her was Chu Ci and Chu Yan appearing together. The siblings followed their parents and quietly took their seats.
Shen Wanqing was shocked. Was Chu Yan... a mber of the Beicheng Chu family?
It wasn’t just her; even Qin Siling was surprised. She was considered married into a collateral branch of the Chu family, but she had barely ever t the main family’s siblings. To think it was Chu Ci and Chu Yan!
What shocked them even more was Jiang Wanyin’s arrival. Dressed in a sleek black suit, he looked smart and distinguished. He ca alone, calmly taking a seat as if he were accustod to such scenes.
Just when Shen Wanqing was still reeling from shock, Bo Xichen arrived with Gu Anxi. The Chu siblings’ appearance had already been eye-catching, but when Bo Xichen walked in accompanied by Gu Anxi, the entire audience seed to hold its breath.
Who was that girl? Why had they never seen her in Beicheng before?
Gu Anxi wore an off-the-shoulder, knee-length white dress, layered with a black blazer, her hair tied in a ponytail. Despite her considerable height, she opted for mid-heel shoes. She possessed a versatile charm, able to be both sweet and cool, assertive yet gentle.
Bo Xichen was also in formal attire. His appearance was normally outstanding enough, but tonight, he seed even more radiant, attracting the collective gaze of all the won present.
However, Bo Xichen’s gaze fell only on the beautiful girl beside him. He naturally placed a hand on her shoulder, guiding her to sit. Instantly, any improper thoughts harbored by the n and won in the room were extinguished.
Bo Xichen leaned towards her and said, "If there’s anything you want to buy, I’ll bid on it for you."
Gu Anxi casually flipped through the auction catalog. "There’s nothing I particularly want."
He chuckled, casually resting his arm on the back of her chair, allowing her to lean against him slightly. Occasionally, he would lower his head to exchange a few quiet words with her.
