Chapter 858
The meal was eaten in peace.
After dinner, Gu Siqian went back to his study to deal with business, while Bella Qiao let Xiao Yue accompany him and watched a TV series in the living room.
In the past, she didn’t really like to watch these soap operas because she thought they were a waste of time and boring, but since she was injured and had to stay home every day, she had calmed down her temperament and had the time to watch them.
The two women, both sitting on the couch, each holding a bag of chips, ate and watched.
I saw one of the episodes where the woman in the TV show was the match for the man, using tactics to confuse the man into thinking that the woman stole the company’s data.
Xiao Yue suddenly said, “This style is akin to Yusra Lin.”
Georgie froze and turned to look at her.
A teasing smile, “You still have a grudge against her after everyone’s gone.”
Xiao Yue realized that she had let her mouth slip and accidentally said what was on her mind, and she even spat out her tongue.
“I’m just avenging your injustice, you’re just too aloof s*xually, that’s why you always let people ride on your head and bully you.”
Bella Qiao smiled and did not reply.
But the actual heart knows that the reason she doesn’t care is not because she’s generous.
That’s just because it’s lazy.
For her, as long as the other party didn’t step on her, those worthless carvings she didn’t even bother to deal with.
Rather than spend your time dealing with irrelevant people, you should practice two more darts.
After watching two episodes of television, Georgie was a little sleepy.
So I went back to bed.
Moon accompanied her to her room and left only after she had gone to sleep.
The next day.
Georgie had just gotten up and suddenly got a message.
There’s a very big auction on the east side of town tonight.
By all accounts, she wasn’t of the nature to get together, and things like the auction had nothing to do with her.
But this time, she was paying extra attention just because of a rumor on the internet that there would be a rare treasure at this auction, the Heavenly Book of Jade.
When she saw the news, Bella Qiao was sitting in the living room with Gu Si Qian.
They couldn’t help but look at each other, and they both saw something very deep in each other’s eyes.
The Book of Heaven and Jade, something that had been disappearing after four years, was now out again.
Was it a coincidence or did someone do it deliberately?
After Gu Siqian’s previous investigation and analysis, the two had learned that all the previous rumors about the Heavenly Book of Jade being able to bring people back to life were actually false.
But just because they know it’s fake, doesn’t mean someone out there will know.
So, when this news came out, the whole circle was sensational.
There were quite a few people, all wanting to get tickets to this auction, and whether or not they could snag it first, even just taking a glance at this legendary treasure would be worth it.
Since it was related to the heavenly book of jade, Bella Qiao and Gu Si Qian naturally had to go as well.
So, the two of them now decided to ask Qin Yue to get two tickets over and they would go together in the evening.
Because of yesterday’s birthday party, Bella Qiao’s foot, which was better, is swollen again.
So tonight, Gu Si Qian said he wouldn’t let her wear high heels anymore.
It’s good that it’s just a place like an auction, and it doesn’t hurt to dress more casually.
So she asked Moon to get her a pair of flats that would go with her evening gown.
Tickets for this kind of auction aren’t too hard to get.
Qin Yue quickly got it.
Since the auction was to start at eight o’clock in the evening, the two of them did not rush ahead first, but ate dinner and waited until it was about time before setting off.
The auction was set up in a five-star hotel on the east side of town.
By the time the two arrived, most of the rest of the guests were there as well.
The auction hadn’t started yet at this time, and everyone was outside, socializing with each other with glasses of wine, and the hall was in a state of pushing and shoving.
When Gu Siqian and Bella Qiao arrived, someone immediately noticed their arrival.
Even came up to say hello.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you Gu, why did you want to attend the auction today?”
Everyone knew that Gu Si Qian was not interested in this kind of occasion, either.
Gu Si Qian smiled slightly, reached out his hand to shake the other party, and said lightly, “If Li can come, of course I can come as well.”
The man known as Li revealed a glint in his eyes.
As we all know, this auction is no different from an ordinary auction if you want to say anything else.
But it was because, tonight, there was the legendary heirloom treasure, the Heavenly Book of Jade that could bring people back to life, that so many politicians and celebrities and rich businessmen were attracted over.
It could be said that ninety-nine percent of the people who came here tonight came for that piece of jade.
I didn’t expect that even someone like Gu Si Qian would come.
Li’s eyes couldn’t help but glisten, and his grasp on snatching up that piece of jade tonight was a little lower.
Only, it was just the activity of his mind and it would never show on his face.
He smiled warmly and said, “Gu Shao is really too polite, but I had heard that you are not interested in this, so I didn’t expect to see you here, since you are here today, it is naturally humble and makes everyone happy.”
Gu Si Qian smiled slightly and also said politely, “You’re welcome too, Mr. Li.”
They exchanged pleasantries for a while, then each excused themselves for business and dispersed.
Before leaving, Li took a deep look at Bella Qiao.
Since Gu Siqian hadn’t introduced himself just now, he wasn’t comfortable asking.
Young Master Gu, who has never been close to women, has a woman by his side?
Who is she?
The man was confused, but didn’t think much of it.
After all, it’s normal to come to a place like this with a female companion by your side.
Maybe the other party wasn’t even Gu Siqian’s woman, but just a company subordinate, or a friend or something.
Thinking this way, Li didn’t think about it anymore.
On the other hand, Gu Si Qian brought Bella Qiao to introduce the crowd in the hall to her in a low voice while coping with the warm greetings that followed.
When people saw him, they looked at him with admiration or envy, but more than that, they were deeply wary.
Because everyone knew, though, that whatever the man had his eye on, he would never let it fall into another’s hands.
It seems that this auction tonight, attention is fishy.
By about 7:50 or so, the auction was finally ready to begin and you could already enter.
Everyone was admitted by ticket, and once inside, they naturally had their own place.
Gu Siqian and Bella Qiao’s position in the first row was the closest to the booth.
All the people sitting in this row were not high officials and dignitaries.
Coincidentally, Lin Song and Jing Jing were also here.
I don’t know why, but they were obviously already here too, but just now in the hall, hard not to meet.
It was only now when we reached our seats that we found each other, and we all felt surprised and amazed.
Chapter 859
About the matter of the Heavenly Book of Jades, because it was too deep, Gu Siqian hadn’t said anything to Lin Song.
He also didn’t know that four and a half years ago, the reason why the Vermilion Bird Society and the Dragon Corps had that war was because of this.
So, when he discovered that Gu Siqian, who never likes to attend such occasions, was actually here, he smiled and said jokingly, “Siqian, it’s different when you have a sweetheart.
But there are some really nice things today, and I’ve heard that those pieces of jewellery are the latest unearthed things that were once worn by queens in European royalty, they must be very gorgeous, you can take a look.”
Gu Si Qian looked at him with a cold brow, “I’m not interested in those.”
Lin Song immediately showed a look of hatred, “Hey, I’m not saying you have no…”
“I’m not interested either.”Bella Qiao immediately answered.
Lin Song was choking at once.
He shook his head helplessly and pointed at Bella Qiao, “I’m just you silly, you’re just silly, a woman isn’t interested in jewellery and antiques, what else can you be interested in?
I’m telling you, don’t feel sorry for Si Qian, and don’t save him money, as the saying goes, if you don’t help a man spend his money, another woman will help him spend it, so don’t be so silly, and beware that some goblin will cheat you out of all of Si Qian’s money in the future, and you won’t get a single cent.”
Bella Qiao sniffed and couldn’t help herself.
She laughed, “Lin Song, you may have misunderstood, I don’t mean disinterested in jewels and diamonds, but in things that have been worn on dead people.”
Lin Song was stunned, and that’s when he reacted.
Today’s auction is all about the dead.
That’s why he smiled, “Then it seems I misunderstood, you’re right, what’s so rare about something that’s been worn on this dead man, to be also newly made.”
Bella Qiao didn’t answer, so Lin Song then turned to the other side and went to talk to Jing Jing.
She sat there quietly, and after a moment, suddenly felt a gentle poke in her arm.
Turning his head, he saw Gu Siqian slightly off his head, leaning in to whisper, “I just meant the same thing, the things that have been worn by the dead, no matter how valuable they are, they also carry a bad luck, to give you a new one would naturally be to rebuild a new one, the same material, could it be any worse than the one dug out from the earth?”
Bella Qiao gave him a sideways glance and didn’t say anything.
The eyes, however, were somewhat smiling.
Gu Si Qian was slightly choked by the look in her eyes.
I don’t know if it was his own delusion, but he always felt that the woman just looked at him like she was seducing him.
Bella Qiao turned her head without moving and said indifferently, “Don’t learn those nonsense with Lin Song.”
What’s wrong with a good man?
You’re giving it to her?Who asked him to deliver it?
Although it was so spiteful, in the end, the heart was as sweet as dyed honey.
Bella Qiao used to think that she wasn’t someone who cared about these things, after all, she wasn’t like ordinary women.
But now for some reason, it was quite happy to hear a man say such things to himself with a pleasing attitude and tone of voice.
She closed her eyes and sighed a little under her breath.
Bella Qiao, Bella Qiao, a man’s sweet talk is the most dangerous trap in the world, you should never fall for it.
Gu Siqian didn’t know what was on Bella Qiao’s mind.
Just a glimpse of her complex face, quite a bit difficult to say, the heart to find out if this is not a bit torn between being moved by a confession of his own, but do not want to admit the true thoughts of his heart?
He was secretly proud of himself, it seemed that his method was quite useful.
At least, just as long as it works for her.
A certain man had sold himself short in his mind, not in the least aware that someone was already wary of his sugar-coating.
Ten minutes later, the auction officially began.
Almost all of those who came today were celebrities and dignitaries, as tickets were limited, making some of those of lesser status ineligible to come.
As soon as the auction began, the entire hall fell silent, only to see the host in a red dress take the stage, first briefly introducing the auction and giving a brief explanation of the rules of the auction, then stepping aside.
The auction has officially begun.
The first item on the stage was a pair of superb imperial green bracelets.
It is said to have been handed down from the Eastern Han Dynasty and is considered a valuable antique.
Although most of the people who came today were celebrities and dignitaries who came for the piece of heavenly jade, there was also a small portion who did not believe that there was such a thing as bringing the dead back to life in this world.
So the reason why they would come over was also because they were interested in some of the antique jewellery and such, so when the bracelet was displayed, people immediately started to ask for it.
Bella Qiao and Gu Siqian’s hearts were not here, so they didn’t blindly join in the fun.
Instead, Lin Song, asked Jing Jing next to her if she liked it and saw her shaking her head, which is why she didn’t scream along.
Gu Siqian sat on the left, Bella Qiao sat in the middle, and on the right was Lin Song.
Since they were sitting very close to each other, she was able to hear everything Lin Song said.
The company has been in the process of developing the new product for the past few years, and it has been the first time in the history of the company that the company has been able to offer a new product.
Besides, you can see that there are so many men here today, and all of the items that were auctioned off were given to their girlfriends, so if I don’t give you something, I look like I’m too stingy.
So take your right as a way to satisfy my face and vanity, and be sure not to be polite to me, please.”
About to laugh at his words, Anna laughed lowly.
“Lin Shao can be really… as rumored, there’s no place to spend money.”
Lin Song smiled awkwardly.
Because the Lin family has deep roots in the local area, most of the industries are owned by them, and wherever they go, eating and entertainment or shopping malls, they are all owned by the Lin family.
So the word is gradually spreading out that Lin Song is the local prince who has no place to spend his money, because the places where he needs to spend his money are all opened by his own family.
At this point, it was used by Anna to poke fun at him, leaving him unsure of how to take it.
But then Kitty Qiao chimed in.
The first thing you need to do is to take a look at this.
Chapter 860
As soon as Bella Qiao said that, Lin Song’s white, tender face, suddenly turned red.
Fidgeting, not daring to admit or deny.
Fearing that a bad scene would cause Anna to get annoyed and shake off her sleeves.
Then we can’t even be friends anymore.
Therefore, at first hearing Bella Qiao’s direct words, he was a little panicked.
Even when she turned to look at Anna, she didn’t have any annoyance on her face, but instead she was smiling and looking at him wryly.
“So that’s how it is, I didn’t know until Sister Joe told me.”
Realizing that she wasn’t angry, Lin Song was secretly relieved and compensated with a smile, “Anna, I… I didn’t send you because I wanted to chase you, I, I just really think you’re quite good, the best things don’t match you, I……”
He said that he would have bitten off his tongue.
You’re usually so eloquent, why do you stammer when it comes to the point?
It’s so stupid!
Seeing how anxious he was, Anna couldn’t hold back and puffed out a laugh.
“Okay, I know what you’re thinking.”
She paused, restrained the smile from her face, and said, “I didn’t say anything about you, so what’s the hurry?Let’s see you do it.”
When he finished, he turned his head away and stopped looking at him.
Lin Song was confused.
Some didn’t quite catch on to what she meant.
Bella Qiao was annoyed with himself. This person, normally quite smart, why is he like a dullard at this critical moment?
Even quietly bumping his arm with his elbow, waiting for him to look over before giving him a slight indication with his eyes.
After all, Lin Song and Bella Qiao had known each other for a long time, and with just a glance, they immediately understood what she meant.
A surge of joy immediately came over me.
Seeing how he’s behaving, that means he’s not rejecting him?
Only because they’ve only just met, so they’re still on probation?
There is hope!
Lin Song was so happy that it was like taking a reassuring pill, so naturally he settled down and sat upright.
For a moment, not holding back in the end, he leaned down again and said to Anna, “Don’t worry, I’ll try my best.”
Anna didn’t say anything.
But from Georgie’s point of view, it was obvious that the girl’s lips were curved up in pleasure.
She secretly nodded, it seemed that people weren’t completely meaningless to Lin Song.
It’s so nice to be a natural couple.
With a small sigh of relief, Georgie turned back to the stage and sat up straighter.
But the pair of jade bracelets that had just been on the stage had been taken.
The price isn’t low, but it’s not too high either. 16 million for a pair of jade bracelets is probably not just about the colour, but most importantly, the story behind the pair of bracelets.
Her eyebrows were still and calm, and just then a hand suddenly reached out from beside her.
Her body tightened and she subconsciously had to shrink back, but the other man moved faster than she did and took her hand in his at once.
Bella Qiao frowned, turned to look at Gu Si Qian and asked with her lips, “What for?”
Gu Si Qian’s face didn’t look too good anymore.
Stinky, and if you look closely, you can still see a hint of aggravation in those deep, penetrating eyes.
Bella Qiao’s brows knitted deeper.
This man, what’s wrong with him?
She had a sneaking suspicion that the man had fallen in love with it since the last time he had eaten the spoiling bonus at Lin Song’s birthday party, knowing that it was more useful to her.
You really think she’s too soft to beat him up?
Bella Qiao’s hand was in his grip and he couldn’t move it, so he made a secret fist with his other hand.
A pair of beautiful eyes, staring fiercely at him.
However, the man was unmoved.
That to watery eyes, even more aggrieved.
Bella Qiao: “…”
Well, she admits, she really eats this up and isn’t afraid of men spilling their guts.
After all, not everyone can handle the feeling of a tiger pampering you in your arms.
Bella Qiao took a deep breath, secretly pushed down the fire in her heart, and asked in a patient whisper, “What’s wrong?”
Gu Si Qian said in aggravation, “Why are you talking to Lin Song but not to me?”
Bella Qiao: “???”
She found it somewhat amusing and asked him, “What do you want me to tell you?”
Gu Si Qian was stunned, his eyes suddenly flashing with panic.
“Joe, so you’ve reached the point where you have nothing to say to me, in your eyes?
Bella Qiao: “…”
No, she still wanted to hit someone.
Thankfully, that’s when the next lot was introduced on stage before the woman became completely angry.
The lights in the hall suddenly brightened a little, and all eyes were drawn to it.
The only thing that was being slowly pushed up on the stage was an ancient, ancient golden armor.
It’s a bit inaccurate to say that it’s armor, but really it’s accurate to say that it should be a gold vest.
I saw the host professionally introduce, “This gold silk soft hedgehog armor was unearthed during the Ming Dynasty, and has the function of being invulnerable to swords and spears, and was the personal treasure of the emperor in ancient times, which could serve to protect his life in the most critical times.”
I don’t know why, at that moment, Bella Qiao suddenly blessed her soul.
As soon as the bidding started, a number plate was immediately picked up and a number was called.
However, there was another person screaming at the same time as her.
The voice came from the side, a pleasant whisper, “Ten million.”
She turned her head and met Gu Siqian’s eyes.
They were both silent for a few seconds, but eventually, Jackie silently put the number plate down.
Because this soft armor is more ornamental than practical for the average person, who usually has nothing to do to go to work, and would not wear a soft armor to work.
So, although we all knew it was worth a lot of money, there were surprisingly no other bids except for a few collectible-minded merchants who participated in the bidding.
Of course, even if they joined the bidding, they couldn’t compare to Gu Siqian.
So, this soft hedgehog armor ended up being auctioned off by Gu Siqian for thirty million dollars.
The item was sent to the back office, and after the end of the stay, the deduction was successful and the item would be delivered to him on the spot.
The atmosphere was quiet again.
On stage, the host has started calling the next beat out.
And Jackie’s mind was a little confused.
In fact, she was suddenly moved to participate in the bidding just now because it suddenly occurred to her that such a treasure, which was invulnerable to swords and guns, was useless to ordinary people, but it was very useful to someone like Gu Siqian.
After all, he is complex and in almost constant danger.
Who can know how many enemies are lurking behind and around the man who has walked on the edge of a knife for years?
Like, in the past, when she and Gu Siqian were still together, when the Dragon Corps was still growing, she had witnessed Gu Siqian being assassinated four times.
