It's just not the same as the luxurious and grand auction as imagined. When the car stopped at the entrance of the auction and looked at the slightly quaint old house, Murong Qiao raised his eyebrows.

Murong Chen got out of the car first, and then picked up Murong Qiao.

"The Shen family has joined the army for generations, so they don't like extravagance." Murong Chen whispered to Murong Qiao.

His ancestors came here as soldiers for generations, and now Mr. Shen, who is holding the auction, had to go back to the rear because he was too old and unable to hold on.

After Murong Chen finished speaking, he led Murong Qiao in, and happened to meet the protagonist who was just mentioned.

Mr. Shen, who has been a soldier all his life, has a strong body, and even standing there gives a sense of majesty without anger. Standing there energetically, even if his temples are slightly graying, it does not affect his majestic aura around him.

Mr. Shen was standing at the door talking to another old man. The two seemed to be close friends and seemed to be good friends.

It's just that the conversation ended after Mr. Shen looked this way and noticed Murong Chen's arrival.

Murong Qiao felt that there was an extra layer of pressure on her body when that gaze swept over her, and she even straightened her back subconsciously.

Afterwards, I saw that Mr. Shen said something to that man, and then walked towards them, with a gentle and beautiful woman beside him.

"I didn't expect you to come in person this time." Mr. Shen first talked to Murong Chen.

The Shen family has existed for a long time, even if it cannot be compared with the wealth of the Murong family or the Huo family, it is quite powerful in the military, which makes people daunting.

Murong Chen smiled, "I heard that you held this auction in person, and I want to come and visit."

"Yes." Old Master Shen smiled a bit on his rather serious face.

It was probably because the words "not angry and self-worthy" were carved into his bones, so that Murong Qiao felt nervous when he looked at such an old man Shen.

She stood neatly beside Murong Chen, and in the next second, she felt that Mr. Shen's eyes shifted from Murong Chen to her side.

"This is the daughter Murong's family found back? She's a pretty child." Old Man Shen sighed.

He knew Murong Qiao's grandfather and had a good relationship, so that when he looked at Murong Qiao, he actually saw traces of her grandfather from this bright and soft face.

Murong Qiao greeted obediently with a smile on his arm, "Hello."

She spoke cautiously, probably because the tension in her heart spread to her body, so that the hand holding Murong Chen's arm became a little bit stronger.

"Very good." Old Master Shen's smile deepened.

Such serious elders are rare. Murong Qiao was still thinking about something to talk about when she saw the woman next to Mr. Shen speak out.

"Miss Murong is so pretty." Su Rong sighed, "I am Su Rong, Shen Guo's wife, hello."

Shen Guo is the son of Mr. Shen, but he is still busy in the army, so he is absent from this auction.

So many matters of the auction were handed over to Su Rong to take care of. Although she looks gentle, Su Rong herself is not really gentle. Influenced by the Shen family's military style, she is also a strong woman.

"Hi Madam Shen." Murong Qiao replied.

Su Rong smiled, "You look as old as my daughter, but it's a pity that she's not here at the moment, otherwise you might be able to chat together, after all, girls always have a lot of common topics."

Su Rong seemed to want to say something more, but there were new guests at the door, and many acquaintances were friends of Mr. Shen, so it was not good to delay too long, so I had to say sorry.

After watching old master Shen and Su Rong walk away, Murong Qiao spoke to his elder brother Murong Chen about the curious question that had just arisen in his heart.

"Madam Shen's daughter is as old as me?" She looked up at her brother.

Murong Qiao didn't know that the Shen family had a daughter at all, it was one thing for her not to pay attention, but on the other hand, she had been to Jiang Weiyang's party a long time ago, and the young people in the circle had vague impressions of herself, but they had never I have heard of the surname Shen.

"Her name is Shen Xi. It is said that she was not in good health when she was born. She is frail and sickly. She also suffers from asthma, so she seldom goes out to socialize." Murong Chen explained.

In a family environment like the Shen family, Shen Xi's frailty and sickness are unavoidable, but fortunately, both Shen Guo and Su Rong like this daughter very much, and they are not dissatisfied.

He was able to know these news because he had learned little by little from his communication with the Shen family since he was a child.

Murong Qiao nodded, remembering the information in his heart, and then glanced at the surrounding crowd, trying to find Huo Yichen's figure.

There was still some time before the auction started, and the guests present at the moment were all gathered in twos and threes, and it seemed that the atmosphere of talking and laughing was harmonious.

Huo Yichen's figure was not seen, but after Mr. Shen left, Murong Qiao saw several people walking towards them.

"Long time no see, President Murong. This is Miss Murong, right? She's really talented." The visitor praised him as soon as he opened his mouth.

Murong Chen greeted him with a more commercial smile this time, "President Xu."

Seeing that it was someone he didn't know coming to greet him, and hearing the two people exchanging greetings, Murong Qiao immediately understood that this was the kind of person who came to talk to his elder brother about business.

She didn't want to participate in these things, so she talked to her elder brother and planned to take a stroll alone, and waited for Huo Yichen to come.

"Then you go shopping alone, and call me if you need anything." Murong Chen confessed.

There are a lot of people who came to participate in the auction this time, and since Murong Chen personally came to Murong's house, there must be many people coming to chat about business later, Murong Chen naturally didn't want his sister to wait by his side .

Murong Qiao responded and walked in a random direction. She caught a glimpse of it when she came here just now. The side door and the small garden outside figured out that it was still a clean place.

But when Murong Qiao walked over, he realized that there were many people in the garden.

Most of them were young people sitting at the round table in the garden, when Murong Qiao looked over, he saw that Jiang Weiyang seemed to be there too.

After looking around, Murong Qiao finally found a remote corner and sat down.

"Hello, can I sit here?" she asked the only girl at the table.

The other party didn't seem to expect her to come back, and after hearing the question, he froze for a while before nodding dully.

She nervously added, "Damn, of course."

"I mean... I'm glad you'll be sitting next to me." She smiled slightly, and her eyes were also bent to reveal a small light.

Her voice was a bit light and ethereal, to the point where people needed to concentrate to hear clearly, it was a bit too soft.

Murong Qiao sat down slowly holding the skirt of the dress, and raised her eyebrows in surprise after hearing what the other party said.

The distance between the two got closer because Murong Qiao sat down, and it was the same way. Murong Qiao smelled a faint smell of traditional Chinese medicine, which was not pleasant.

Then, after looking around, she realized that it was best for four or five people to sit together, but she was the only one at this table.

Seeing that Murong Qiao noticed that he was not very popular, the other party showed a wry smile.
