Chapter 191 My Birth Was Not What They Expected
Xi Maoxun organized his words.
Make sure that the little girl's dignity is not violated while expressing clear intentions.
But obviously, he still underestimated Jiang Nuantang.
After so many years, without Jiang Hengyun's escort, she has grown to be strong enough in reality.
How can I be so worried about such a sentence!
The expected panic did not happen, knowing that the old man was being careful, trying to protect her poor self-esteem.
Jiang Nuantang showed a smile, and said generously:
"no need."
A clear and simple refusal cannot convince Xi Maoxun.
Jiang Nuantang paused, then continued to explain:
"Since my birth was not what they expected, there is no need to bother each other now. After all... from childhood to adulthood, my father Jiang Hengyun is the only family member who has been by my side!"
Jiang Nuantang said it openly and aboveboard, without any bitterness or reluctance.
Xi Maoxun's next words were all stuck in his throat.
After staring at her for a while, he finally didn't insist on anything, and said in a deep voice:
"In this case, then I will follow you first, and when you change your mind, remember to come to me!"
The implication is that he has clues to find her parents.
pity--
She probably won't be able to use it.
After all, from childhood to adulthood, in her eyes, her parents are just synonymous with her life.
Let her have no desire to explore.
It's better to separate each other and keep each other safe.
……
After a brief discussion, Xi Maoxun and Jiang Nuantang returned to the banquet hall.
Just as the party was about to start, the two were arranged to be together.
but--
What is Xi Maoxun's identity?
Not to mention his age, he also has a high reputation in the circle.
Those who can sit at the same table with him are all the powerful people of big families like Bo Yuqing and Shao Zhanlin.
Suddenly there was an extra Jiang Nuantang, like a child stealing an adult's clothes.
No matter how abrupt it looks.
Many people who couldn't stop their curiosity even cast their eyes on it frequently.
He secretly asked who is the person brought by Mr. Xi?
Jiang Nuantang naturally received their attention gift, and she really took it calmly, not caring at all.
He only cast his gaze on the beautiful host on stage, and no one else looked at it.
"Boundless love, love warms the world, thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule to participate in the charity party held by the e-house collection. Now, we will exhibit the first lot of tonight - the Chinese painting "Ink Lotus". The painting is made of…”
Accompanied by the introduction of the beautiful host's tongue-candy lotus, tonight's charity gala officially begins.
The e-house collection operated by the Yu family exhibits works or treasure collections.
Then let the people who participated in the party raise their placards to bid for the auction.
All proceeds from the auction will be donated to the foundation.
It is inevitable that such a large amount of money will cause a social sensation.
This is also one of the reasons why countless high-level celebrities flock to this charity gala.
In addition, the auction items exhibited by the e house, whether they are personal paintings or treasure collections, are all extremely valuable or orphaned items.
Therefore, all the celebrities who came to the banquet were enthusiastic and would not hesitate to spend a lot of money for their favorites.
I also want to bring it home.
The party has only just begun, and more than half of the people who have raised their cards.
And the price is still increasing.
Jiang Nuantang sat in her seat all the time.
Xi Maoxun, who also didn't raise his sign, glanced sideways at the quiet little girl, and said clearly:
"No one you like?"
"Ah."
Jiang Nuantang nodded lightly. Perhaps she had seen too many rare treasures since she was a child. At this time, when she saw these competing products that were being auctioned off by others, she didn't feel too excited.
After all, it was the daughter raised by Jiang Hengyun with most of his family wealth.
Xi Maoxun didn't doubt that Jiang Nuantang really looked down on him.
Seeing that she was indeed lacking in interest, she was not in a hurry, and said with a smile:
"Then take a look again. Grandpa Xi will take a picture and give it to you if you like it."
Xi Maoxun generously agreed.
It's not that I'm worried that Jiang Nuantang won't be able to afford it.
Can have the strength to compete with Hengyuan Group.
He firmly believed that Jiang Nuantang's financial and material resources should not be underestimated.
Saying this is just out of an elder's love for the younger generation.
Jiang Nuantang also knew Xi Maoxun's thoughts, nodded, and did not reject his kindness.
The two turned their gazes to the booth again.
In the next second, all eyes were attracted by the drop-shaped sapphire necklace in the glass cabinet.
"The next auction is the Duke of Windsor's sapphire necklace. The starting price is 2000 million..."
As the host's voice fell to the ground, this drop-shaped sapphire necklace undoubtedly became the biggest highlight of the audience tonight.
One hundred and ten million!
The starting price alone is worth [-] million units.
The high price also sets the threshold in an instant, making many stunning necklaces and glamorous people discouraged.
Not even the courage to raise the price.
Jiang Nuantang lowered her eyelashes lightly, and watched the competition all night.
Only this necklace is the most suitable for her.
It is also a good choice to take pictures because of fate.
The hand holding the placard moved slightly, Jiang Nuantang was about to increase the price to bid, and she didn't want anyone to be faster than her:
"One hundred and sixty million!"
