"… "
Nie Qingru felt as if he was punching cotton with all his strength.
This feeling made her very unhappy.
Even though she won the auction and even Miss Sibol congratulated her, she still couldn't recover from the unpleasantness of being fooled.
But no matter what Nie Qingru thought, the auction had ended. She had won the finale of the collection as she wished, and she still had to ask someone to hand it over.
"shadow."
The man in the shadows came over and stood in front of her with his head down like a good dog: "Queen, you command."
Nie Qingru said indifferently: "You go and handle the handover with the people from the Sibol family."
"yes."
Shadow looked up and glanced at her.
Nie Qingru and he had already developed a tacit understanding after spending a long time together, and she understood what he wanted to ask just by exchanging glances.
“When you get something, just put it in the usual place.”
Shadow nodded, showing an understanding expression: "Okay."
At this time, the staff of Sibol's family also came over, confirmed that he was going to handle the formalities, and politely asked him to follow them.
At the same time, according to the auction process, the items on the stage will be taken backstage after the final buyer is determined.
Someone has already asked Robert to come to the scene to conduct a third-party appraisal to ensure that there is no possibility of exchanging the goods midway.
The auction is over and the charity dinner is coming to an end.
But Nie Qingru hadn't left yet, and the remaining people were not as senior or as prestigious as her, so it was not easy for them to leave their seats before her.
After Nie Qingru and Miss Sibol discussed the handover process, she raised her eyelids slightly and asked casually, "I think the last bidder No. 5 looks a little unfamiliar. When did Continent M get such a person?"
Miss Sibol was no fool. She had long expected that Nie Qingru would come to her to ask about this person, so she specifically checked the identity of the guest.
So when Nie Qingru brought it up, she didn't hide it: "Mr. Ross is not from Continent M. He is a guest invited by my father from Continent F. He has some businesses under his name, mainly involving rare earth mining and weapons. He has a close personal relationship with Mr. Cage, a major weapons merchant from Continent F. It is because of this relationship that my father invited him to attend this charity dinner."
She could see that Nie Qingru was provoked by Ross this time.
But the other party was a guest invited by her father and someone the Sibol family had always wanted to win over, so naturally she had to speak for him.
So she hesitated for only a moment before expressing her attitude: "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. Mr. Ross doesn't know the situation in Continent M. He probably has no ill intentions. He just heard about the name of the Pharmacy Association and followed it for a few rounds out of curiosity. Didn't he give up in the end? So this is just a coincidental misunderstanding."
"Yeah." When Nie Qingru heard her talking about the 'big arms dealer Cage' in 'Continent F', the cold expression on his face softened.
As far as she knew, this Cage was a weird person, and had no connections with the Red Alliance, the Bunker, or David...so what Sibor said might be true.
—The other party just didn't know the rules. He bid with her for two rounds on a whim, and then gave up after seeing something. He didn't mean to slap her in the face or provoke her.
Nie Qingru had already ruled out the possibility that she had been fooled, but what happened tonight still made her very unhappy. She even had no interest in talking to the people who came to greet her.

at the same time.
In the corner, an oriental-looking man dressed in waiter's clothes disappeared silently in the banquet hall.
