Forced to Date a Big Shot

The time of studying always flies by so fast.

The whole day of classes was over quickly, and Xue Xi used her self-study class to finish her homework. After school, she just stuffed a book of English professional vocabulary into her school bag so that she could read it on the way to the auction.

The charity party was held at a six-star high-end hotel in Bincheng. When they arrived, many people had already come.

Xue Xi followed Ye Li and just got off the car and was about to enter the venue when she heard a voice: "Sister-in-law!"

Liu Yiqiu walked over from the side. She was dressed in jewelery and looked like a wealthy lady. She was supporting Mrs. Xue by her side. After walking over, Liu Yiqiu first complained: "Sister-in-law, although we are separated, we are still relatives. Why am I being stopped when I go to your community, so I have to come here and wait for you."

Ye Li was a low-key person and didn't like her dress. She said in a calm tone: "Is something wrong?"

Liu Yiqiu smiled: "Didn't I hear that you came to attend the charity gala, and I'm afraid you won't have anything to offer? I've prepared one for you."

She took out a box from her bag and handed it to her: "Here is a diamond brooch, worth two hundred thousand. You can take this to the auction."

Mrs. Xue snorted coldly: "Ye Li, you should learn more from your second sibling and put the overall situation first. See how virtuous and generous she is?"

Virtuous and generous?

Is this the plan to let Ye Li owe a favor first and pay it back later?

Why didn't Ye Li help introduce Lu Chao when she had already figured it out?

Ye Li felt that these two people were really in trouble, but now she has become smarter and knew that direct exchange was impossible, so she planned to give benefits first and then reap the rewards. She really never forgets to look for opportunities!

She pushed the brooch back: "I don't need this. We have already prepared the things that will be auctioned tonight."

Liu Yiqiu was stunned: "Are you ready?"

Her eyes traveled across the two of them, and finally landed on the long box held in Ye Li's hand, "What is this?"

Before Ye Li could answer, she guessed: "Painting? Did you draw it?"

Seeing that Ye Li did not deny it, Liu Yiqiu suddenly laughed: "Sister-in-law, are you putting your own painting up for auction? Are you kidding me? Don't you know that your painting can only be sold for fifty yuan now? You plan to give it to charity. Donate fifty to the party?”

Ye Li walked around her and said, "We have separated. No matter how much I donate, it has nothing to do with you."

Mrs. Xue reprimanded: "What happened to the family separation? Don't you have a surname of Xue after the family separation? The family is separated. Xue Sheng is also my son! I am his mother too! This is a blood relationship and cannot be broken!"

Liu Yiqiu also said hurriedly: "Sister-in-law, if you don't listen to me, the auction will not go out, and the people who will be lost will be the Xue family!"

Ye Li wanted to say something else, but Xue Xi slowly spoke: "Who said it can't be sold?"

Liu Yiqiu smiled: "At the auction, the starting price is 50,000 yuan. Do you think anyone will buy her paintings?"

Xue Xi didn't answer. She just supported Ye Li and entered the venue bypassing the two people.

Liu Yiqiu still wanted to chase after her, but in front of so many people, she felt a little undignified. She stood there and thought for a while, then realized something and suddenly spoke: "Did brother find someone and plan to auction it at a high price? "

Mrs. Xue didn't understand this and asked, "What do you mean?"

Liu Yiqiu explained: "It's just hype."

Seeing that Old Mrs. I found someone to buy this painting at a high price at auction, and then the hype started!"

Mrs. Xue spoke in straightforward words: "You mean, he paid for it himself, gave a lot of money to the auction in vain, and then gave Ye Li a good reputation?"

Liu Yiqiu nodded: "Yes."

After finishing speaking, her eyes showed a fierce look.

In the past, although she was the second wife of the Xue family, the old lady valued her, and she was the one who did all the diplomacy of the Xue family's wives.

But since Xue Xi came back, this Ye Li was like a lion waking up. First she met Mrs. Xia, and then Mrs. Li, so she no longer had a sense of superiority!

She was jealous. Why was Ye Li's life so good that she could marry a good man like her eldest brother?

She lowered her eyes and smiled at the old lady: "This brooch of mine only cost 20,000 to 30,000 when I bought it. Now it is worth over 100,000. The auction is a bit more expensive, and you can get it for about 200,000. But the eldest brother wants to support his sister-in-law. It costs a lot of money, at least a million!"

Spending hundreds of thousands to buy a painting will not bring you fame.

If you want to be famous, you need millions!

Mrs. Xue suddenly became angry: "This prodigal woman! She only knows how to spend my son's money!"

After finishing speaking, she pushed Liu Yiqiu away and entered the lobby. She is a nouveau riche, unlike Liu Yiqiu who pays attention to her influence and image in public. In other words, money is more important to her than face!

The charity party was actually organized by Rixin Charity. Mrs. Xia is the president of this charity. At this moment, she is entertaining people in the hall.

When they saw Ye Li and Xue Xi, they immediately came up to them, exchanged a few words, and found a staff member to take them to the backstage to prepare for the auction.

This kind of organization is rigorous, and it is impossible for auction items to be exchanged or damaged.

Mrs. Xia accompanied Ye Li to the backstage, arrived in the room, and put the painting in a special place under the watchful eyes of a group of professionals.

Mrs. Xia sent Ye Li away, and when she came back, she found two people inspecting the painting and unfolding the painting. After she entered, someone said: "Mrs. Xia, we don't know much about painting either, but I heard that Mrs. It’s worth 50 yuan. It’s a bit inappropriate for her to send it here like this, isn’t it? She also doesn’t take our charity seriously.”

Mrs. Xia looked at the painting and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I think this painting is quite shocking."

The staff member curled his lips and said, "I'm not a famous artist. I really don't know what Mrs. Xue thinks. This painting is too hard to sell."

Mrs. Xia glared at him and told him to shut up. Then she sighed. Her daughter was in love with the Xue family and especially liked the little girl Xue Xi, so she couldn't just sit back and do nothing. At worst, no one would buy her later. If so, she would find someone to buy it for 100,000 yuan, so as not to make Mrs. Xue look too ugly.

While thinking this, someone suddenly ran in: "Mrs. Xia, a distinguished guest is here, and he is coming backstage now!"

Mrs. Xia was stunned: "Who?"

The man trotted over, panting: "Hermit!"

"What?" Mrs. Xia was stunned. Although she didn't understand Chinese painting, this man was very famous, and one of his paintings could be worth millions! He is a famous living contemporary painter!

She asked nervously: "What is he here for?"

Staff: "He said he was looking for a painting!"
