The auction was supposed to start at nine, but it was only half past eight. There was still half an hour to go.
People started arriving one after another.
Shi Sheng and Yu Jiu, one underage and the other seemingly underage, sat near the front. It was inevitable that they would attract attention.
"Xiaoxia-meimei, do they think I'm especially handsome?" Yu Jiu asked narcissistically as he edged closer to Shi Sheng.
Shi Sheng coldly replied, "They're afraid you won't have the money to pay."
Yu Jiu: "…"
His childhood sweetheart wasn't cute at all.
The auction officially started at nine. Shi Sheng wasn't the least bit interested in these things and simply stared at the floor with her head lowered.
"Xiaoxia-meimei, can you see money by staring at the floor?"
Shi Sheng tilted her head. "Can I make a request of you?"
Under the refraction of the light, her eyes were like the surface of a sparkling lake, rippling with shallow ripples. But upon closer inspection, it seemed to be a piece of tranquility.
Yu Jiu blinked and nodded with a smile. "Xiaoxia-meimei, let's hear it."
"Shut up."
So noisy. A man really was that talkative.
Villains died from talking too much, you know?
Yu Jiu: "???"
What did his childhood sweetheart mean?
After successfully shutting Yu Jiu up, Shi Sheng propped up her chin and looked at the auction stage.
The item being auctioned was a jade hairpin. The auctioneer praised it as if it were a one-of-a-kind item. Paired with a touching historical story, it didn't take long for a silly roe deer to take the bait.
"One million."
"One million and two hundred thousand."
"One million and four hundred thousand."
"…"
Being an auctioneer wasn't a job for a single person. Not only did they have to be eloquent, but they also had to be sharp-eyed and quick-witted.
"Three million, going once! Three million, going twice! Sold! "
The auctioneer hammered the gavel and the host immediately removed the jade hairpin.
Shi Sheng glanced sideways at the silly roe deer that had won the jade hairpin.
Unexpectedly, she saw the female lead.
The female lead was with the two male supporting characters she'd seen at the antique street last time. The two of them surrounded the female lead.
"Xiaoxia-meimei, what are you looking at?" Seeing that Shi Sheng hadn't turned around for a long time, Yu Jiu followed her gaze. "Wen Jingxuan … Xiaoxia-meimei, you know them?"
Shi Sheng could hear the displeasure in Yu Jiu's voice.
She turned around. "It's none of your business."
An unreadable emotion flashed through Yu Jiu's eyes. "Little sister Xia's matters are my matters, so of course it's my business."
There was something wrong with him.
Shi Sheng labeled Yu Jiu.
At the end of the auction was a piece of Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain.
Shi Sheng didn't know much about these things, but when she went to a museum with her phone, she saw that the unit behind the Yuan Dynasty's blue and white porcelain was 100 million.
This kind of rare item was most likely the female lead's.
He just didn't know where the female lead had found him.
As soon as Yuan Qinghua appeared, the crowd below boiled over.
Of course, there weren't many people who had the ability to buy it. Although the others were excited, they only wanted to look at it.
Sure enough, when the auctioneer announced the starting price, the crowd quieted down. The bidders were mostly from the first two rows.
In the end, it was won by the old man in the first row.
Judging from the attitude of the people around him, he was probably someone of high status.
After the auction ended, the people who had bought the items had to go backstage to settle the bill.
Yu Jiu said he needed to go to the washroom and asked Shi Sheng to wait for him here.
Shi Sheng waited and waited, but he didn't come out. In the end, almost everyone had left, but there was still no sign of him. Shi Sheng's face instantly darkened.
What was this idiot up to now?
She looked in the direction of the female lead. She was talking to the old man who had won the Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain. She didn't know what they were talking about, but the old man seemed very happy.
Did the female lead just hug a golden thigh?
According to the rules of the supporting female lead, as the supporting female lead, she would definitely go up to find fault with the female lead and get slapped in the face.
However, Shi Sheng didn't do anything. Instead, the female lead came over herself …
Plot-sama.
I'm kneeling to you!
What kind of grudge do you have with the supporting female lead? Why do you have to torture her to death?
"Sheng Xia, what a coincidence. You're here too." Shen Jiayin had an appropriate smile on her face.
"It's not a coincidence."
Shi Sheng took a few steps back. The words' I don't like you, don't talk to me 'were written all over her face.
Shen Jiayin was speechless.
"Lass, do you know her?" Wen Jingxuan was a gentle supporting male lead. His words were gentle, and his looks were even more gentle.
"Mm, we're classmates." Shen Jiayin nodded. "I didn't expect to see her here."
Shi Sheng saw the disdain in Shen Jiayin's eyes again. Shi Sheng cocked her neck and said bluntly, "Shen Jiayin, what exactly do you despise me for?"
Shen Jiayin blinked and looked at Shi Sheng innocently and blankly. "Sheng Xia, what are you talking about?"
"Nothing." Shi Sheng sneered.
Don't ever think of getting someone who pretends not to know to admit that she knows.
Shen Jiayin was speechless.
Why was this conversation so strange? Shen Jiayin really couldn't continue the conversation.
"How can you speak with such a bad attitude? Didn't anyone at home teach you manners?" Xie Chen felt indignant for Shen Jiayin.
Xie Chen was more impulsive. He was younger than Wen Jingxuan and was a straightforward person.
Shi Sheng glanced at him. "It's none of your business whether I'm polite or not! Have I eaten your food or taken your money? Since you don't have any, what right do you have to ask me to be polite? Are you crazy? "
Xie Chen was speechless.
You're the crazy one, aren't you?
"Manners are the most basic social etiquette. If you don't even know this, how dare you come to such an occasion? Aren't you afraid of offending people?"
"Oh, I've offended you now. What can you do to me?" Shi Sheng raised her chin provocatively. "Are you trying to say that I'll make it impossible for you to survive here? You only dare to say this to people whose status isn't as high as yours. Do you dare to say this to those who are of higher status? "
Xie Chen was speechless.
[…] The System really doesn't understand why the Host likes to provoke people so much.
Would it kill her to speak properly?
Sometimes, it's hard to change a habit. Shi Sheng was guarded against everyone. As long as she didn't like a single word, she would immediately start a fight. She couldn't wait to stab you until you were covered in bruises.
Don't say that he's unreasonable and unreasonable. What do you mean by 'let people off whenever possible?'
People like her usually swallowed their grievances. Shi Sheng was never one to swallow his grievances.
Usually, if she swallowed her grievances … then you have to be careful. She'll definitely make a big move later.
The System was thankful that this wasn't some other world. If this was a world of cultivation or where murder wasn't illegal, Shi Sheng would have already drawn his sword and killed her.
"Excuse me, are you Miss Sheng?" A woman in an emcee's gown suddenly walked over and broke the awkward atmosphere.
Shi Sheng sized up the woman. She retracted her sharp aura and nodded politely. "Yes."
The emcee smiled. "It's like this, Miss Sheng. Mr. Yu has something to do and left early. Can I trouble you to settle the bill for his collection?"
"Say that again."
The emcee saw that the girl opposite her didn't get angry. Instead, she calmly asked her to say it again. She smiled and repeated it.
