Everyone looked at the scene, feeling like they were being a third wheel.
As for Zhu Minxuan getting close to those people and whether he found out any inside information, probably not much. Because he himself had beco trapped by those people. Zhu Minxuan gave the Xiao Family a very forceful warning: Be careful!
Xiao Yebai turned around to answer the phone. The dostic personnel worked efficiently and soon found out about Kang Yueting’s situation in jail. Fortunately, with Kang Yueting in jail, every person she t and every trace she left were clearly docunted.
"Miss Kang did indeed have contact with the auction house staff."
The third and fourth’s assumptions were correct.
"Which auction house?"
"Christie’s."
Once Xiao Yebai hung up the phone, Xiaojiu imdiately opened the computer and checked the auction items on Christie’s website.
Soon, a major piece of news appeared before the Xiao Family. Several items belonging to the Xiao Family had already been auctioned off, seemingly all part of Xiao Shulan’s dowry taken from the Xiao Family.
Included among them was an antique jewelry box brought by Xiao Shulan when she got married. Since this item was indeed old and well-preserved, it fetched over ten million at auction in the overseas market.
Both Xiao Shuju and Xiao Shuzhu were speechless at this situation. They felt their hearts tightening painfully.
These items were carefully crafted by their mother for their dowry, regardless of how little money they had, they shouldn’t be sold.
Looking at the auction tis for these items, it was clear that they weren’t sold on Xiao Shuju’s decision, but probably with Kang Yueting’s consent.
"This girl!" Finally, Xiao Shuju leapt up from her chair in anger, her fists clenched, wishing she could storm into the jail and beat Kang Yueting.
Xiao Shuzhu felt dizzy, the blow was too heavy, she held her head in silence for a long ti.
Zhu Jiayin stood beside her mother and said softly: "Yueting is a bit strange. If it were , I’d definitely keep such beautiful things; I would never sell them."
Xiao Shuzhu looked up at her daughter who spoke those words, still unable to say anything.
In the past, she always felt that children should pave their own paths, so she let them develop freely. Now it seed terribly wrong, seeing the consequences of not educating them well fully reflected in Kang Yueting.
In all this misfortune, the painting had not yet been bought, but it was indeed already in the auction process. According to the auction house’s estimate, the starting price wasn’t high, because the painting didn’t seem to be from a famous artist. That’s why the auction house hadn’t considered putting it up for auction before.
The auction house finally decided to sell it only because Kang Yueting told them: I bet with you, this painting can fetch sky-high prices!
This girl had undoubtedly sensed sothing.
No ti to waste, the third stayed here to accompany the fourth to take care of the patient, while Xiao Shuju herself had to recuperate. Ou Yanan could only temporarily stay here to look after the two patients.
Xiao Yebai and his family of four prepared to leave imdiately for New York to attend the auction.
Departure was about to happen.
Anthony took out his most cherished toy car and books, stuffed them into the little backpacks of the two monkey kids, saying: "For you to look at and play with on the road. I know when you go on a trip like this, you’ll surely be bored."
