Most of the people on this side of the garden are the communication place of the younger generation, and occasionally they can hear a little voice when they get together in twos and threes.

"They always say that I'm a sick child, and it's not very good to get in touch with me." She smiled wryly and then introduced herself, "I'm Shen Xi, and it's a pleasure to talk to you."

It turned out that she was Shen Xi.

"Murong Qiao." Murong Qiao said his name, and at the same time, his eyes fell on Shen Xi involuntarily and took a second look.

She was slender and frail, and even wearing a beautiful and gorgeous dress, she couldn't hide the sickness on her pale face. Occasionally, she coughed lightly when she spoke, and then she showed apology on her face.

After Murong Qiao carefully observed the other party, she had to admit that she was weaker than what he had heard.

"I met Mrs. Shen when I first came here," Murong Qiao thought about his words, "She said you need to rest."

Places like auctions are always a bit too lively, and the voices of people talking are just too loud, which is definitely not suitable for a patient like Shen Xi.

A guilty conscience crossed Shen Xi's face, "I know."

She replied softly, and then she couldn't help looking through Murong Qiao, and then looked at the hall behind her, seeing the bustling scene of drinking wine and lamps inside, she couldn't help showing a trace of envy in her eyes.

Since she was a child, she was arranged to recuperate in a small courtyard of Shen's family. Her natural frailty made it difficult for Shen Xi to even go out.

"I just want to come out and take a look." Shen Xi smiled sheepishly.

She then shifted her gaze to Murong Qiao, "You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. Although this is the first time we meet, I hope you won't think I'm presumptuous."

Just now, when Murong Chen brought Murong Qiao in, Shen Xi saw him while sitting here.

She deliberately chose a position where she could see the entrance of the hall, as if she had also participated in the bustle.

Before the auction started, Su Rong also specially told Shen Xi not to run around today.

"Mom will take you out for a stroll if there is a chance in the future, but today is the auction, so Xiaoxi be good?"

Su Rong dotes on her daughter, and her tone of voice is gentle and gentle, without the slightest hint of coercion.

But the purpose revealed in the words is very obvious, and Shen Xi has no right to refuse.

Naturally, she didn't want to cause trouble to her parents, but she couldn't resist the desire for excitement in her heart, so she sneaked out.

"That's not true." Murong Qiao shook his head, "Mrs. Shen thought we would have something to talk about, and wanted to introduce me to you."

"Then it seems that we are really destined." After hearing this, Shen Xi had a smile on his face.

Murong Qiao also smiled. During the first contact with Shen Xi, she felt that apart from the impression of being sick and weak, the other party seemed to be a pretty good person.

It's just that when the two of them were chatting, Murong Qiao could still feel from time to time that many people around were looking at him.

The most frequent and obvious one is that on the other side of the table between them, a girl with beautiful makeup looks frowning almost every time she looks at her.

"That person," Murong Qiao pointed at the girl, "has a problem with you?"

Shen Xi didn't understand, so she was stunned for a moment and then looked over, and she understood after seeing the person Murong Qiao was pointing at.

She took a sip of the juice in her hand before she spoke, "That's Shen Liu, a descendant of the Shen family, she doesn't like me very much."

"I can tell." Murong Qiao nodded.

Shen Liu's gaze was so obvious that it was difficult for her to ignore it, especially when the gaze was still on her.

"Maybe it's not very polite to say this, but - aren't you the lady of Murong's family? Why don't you go play with them?" Shen Xi summoned up her courage and asked.

That's Murong's family.

Even if she doesn't go out very much, Shen Xi, who stays at home every day, has heard about the Murong family.

Some time ago, when she heard about Murong's family recovering her daughter, Shen Xi often heard people talking about it, and that was also one of the sources of her understanding of the outside world.

Murong Qiao shook his head, "I'm waiting for someone."

What Shen Xi said reminded her.

Murong Qiao took out her mobile phone and took a look, only to find that Huo Yichen had sent her a message five minutes ago.

【almost there. [Hurry up]]

Looking at the final emoticon of the kitten running furiously, Murong Qiao couldn't help laughing out loud, and replied with a good word.

Murong Qiao didn't intend to hide it, and Shen Xi who was beside him could clearly see this expression.

She asked curiously, "A good friend?"

"To be precise, it's her boyfriend." Murong Qiao reversed the mistake in his words.

After all, she has met her parents about the matter with Huo Yichen now, and there is nothing to hide, so what she said is even more aboveboard.

Not waiting for Murong Qiao to be shy first, but Shen Xi blushed a little, and felt a little embarrassed.

Murong Qiao was amused by her appearance, she rested her cheek with one hand and looked at Shen Xi's expression, and then saw a servant coming from behind Shen Xi.

"Miss, Madam is looking for you." The servant came straight to her and explained the problem.

The red on Shen Xi's face faded because of these words, and then turned into regret and reluctance, and looked at the hall again.

Shen Xi struggled a bit, then looked at the next person. "Can't you stay a little longer?"

She had not been out for a long time, and she was said to have known Murong Qiao, so now is the time when she is happy, so naturally she is reluctant to go back.

"Madam is very worried about you, Miss." The servant frowned in distress, "And your body..."

Shen Xi obviously knew what was going on with her, so after struggling, she gave Murong Qiao a very apologetic smile and got up.

"I'm sorry Miss Murong, I might be excused, I'm very glad to meet you." She said goodbye aloud.

Murong Qiao also nodded in understanding, "Your body is more important, maybe we will meet again in the future if we are destined?"

She imitated Shen Xi's tone and words just now, and blinked her eyes smartly, which made the other party laugh.

"Okay." Shen Xi nodded.

She couldn't really worry her mother, so she turned her head and followed the servants away.

Seeing that the other party had left, Murong Qiao thought of the news Huo Yichen sent just now, so she also planned to find someone.

The venue for this auction was set to be held in the main house. After all, Mr. Shen personally held it, so the Shen family also paid special attention to it.

But for Shen Xi, the overly curved terrain on the side of the main house is a bit embarrassing for her.

She has a poor sense of direction and has lived in a small courtyard since she was a child, so she had to follow the servants.

But as she walked, she felt something was wrong.

"Isn't mom looking for me?" Shen Xi couldn't help asking the servants.

She glanced around, "Which side is this?"

The servant originally led the way without saying a word, but after Shen Xi spoke, the servant stopped abruptly.

Shen Xi was a little uneasy, "Why don't you speak?"

"Sorry, miss." The servant suddenly said something in a low voice.

Before Shen Xi understood what it meant, she saw that the other party suddenly reached out and pushed her.

She was caught off guard and pushed into the small warehouse next to the corridor, and then saw that the door was closed and locked from the outside in front of her, and the servants left without looking back.

She looked around blankly, but she couldn't find any exit except for the stored ingredients.
