Just when Tang Xiaoxiao was confused, the door of the banquet hall was suddenly opened by two waiters. Two rows of neatly dressed waiters stood on both sides of the red carpet leading directly to the small stage of the banquet hall, like two rows of soldiers waiting for review. The beauty walked in front wearing an elegant and gorgeous evening dress. A string of huge diamond necklaces around her neck shone brightly under the bright lights. On her ten fingers, she actually wore five huge diamond and gemstone rings, which was extremely luxurious.
Behind the mature beauty, there are a pair of golden boy-girls. The little beauty is wearing a pink evening dress, with delicate and heavy makeup on her face, and a natural green diamond of more than ten carats on her neck. , almost piercing the eyes, a pair of crystal high heels on her feet, three gemstone rings on her hands, and a pair of natural agate gemstone earrings on her ears, walking with a light step, looking like I felt pity for her.
The person holding the little beauty's arm intimately was a young and promising young man, but it was Liang Zhenxuan whom I had seen before!
Tang Xiaoxiao's pupils shrank suddenly when she saw the two beauties, the older one and the younger one. Even now, she could probably guess with her toes who these two figures were - stepmother Cao Shuting and the oil bottle Tang Rou!
Looking at the grand appearance of a group of people, there was silence at first in the dinner, and then a buzz of discussion quietly started. Many people suppressed their voices and asked quietly, "Who are these two ladies..."
"Shh, keep your voice down, don't you want to live anymore?" Someone lowered his voice and cautiously warned, "These two ladies are new socialites who have emerged in the upper class in recent years. Even to attend this cocktail party, Mr. Wei asked Give her face... Does Liyang Tang Yuanfeng know?"
"have no idea."
"Tch! I guess you don't know either. Tang Yuanfeng has always kept a low profile. You definitely don't know him, but do you know Tangchao Industrial and Tangren Group? On the surface, they are two groups, but the big bosses behind them are both Liyang Tang Yuanfeng!"
"Damn it, these two groups are leaders in the industry, so how much money can Tang Yuanfeng have?"
"No one knows the exact number, but privately among wealthy families, they are speculating that Tang Yuanfeng's actual assets may have exceeded tens of billions... US dollars. The woman walking in the front is Tang Yuanfeng's current wife, and she is following behind. It’s Tang Yuanfeng’s daughter Tang Rou, I heard she doesn’t have a boyfriend yet, tsk tsk, Liang Zhenxuan is so damn lucky, he actually hooked up with Tang Yuanfeng’s daughter, he’s got both people and wealth!”
"Tang Yuanfeng's daughter...fuck! If anyone marries Tang Rou, wouldn't it make a lot of money?"
"Hey, let's all work hard tonight, shall we? Whoever can seduce her depends on his or her own abilities."
Not to mention these wealthy young men, even the people in the entertainment industry present were a little excited. The actresses and ladies present were undoubtedly envious and jealous of the two women who appeared so stylish and dressed so luxuriously, while the men He is gearing up to take the beauty home.
Sun Yating looked at the two women with endless luxurious clothes and jewelry, gritted her teeth with hatred, and muttered secretly, "Isn't it because of hooking up with a rich man that I got the spotlight today?! Damn, I really thought I was something good. Bird?"
"That's right," Ying Feifei's eyes flashed with jealousy, "I'm so lucky. I've been waiting for a few years for that woman to grow old. How did her husband kick her away?"
Chen Ke, the editor-in-chief of "Fashion Weekly", frowned, crossed his arms, and said calmly, "They are just nouveau riche without self-cultivation and taste. The taste of these two women is really incompatible with their status. Can the most gorgeous jewelry and clothes hide their background? What an idiot... I really don’t understand why Mr. Tang Yuanfeng married such a woman?"
Mr. Wei secretly glanced at Tang Xiaoxiao and walked forward to greet her. He laughed loudly and said, "Mrs. Tang, Miss Tang, we are so far away to welcome you. Your arrival really makes tonight's charity dinner more brilliant." , please don’t blame me for my poor hospitality as an old man.”
Cao Shuting smiled arrogantly, and her eyes did not tolerate other people at all. She said politely, "What are you talking about, Mr. Wei? Our mother and daughter came uninvited. Please don't blame us."
"Where are you talking?" Mr. Wei is indeed an old fox. He didn't care at all about Cao Shuting's arrogant look. Instead, he became more and more polite. "We just didn't expect that Mrs. Tang and Miss Tang in Liyang could travel thousands of miles away." Next time, attending the dinner held in Donghai City is enough to show the enthusiasm of the two of you for charity. I think Mrs. Tang will definitely buy a few things tonight."
Cao Shuting's face changed slightly. The charity auction on this occasion was not a small number, it could easily cost 18 million. Although Tang Yuanfeng had always been generous to his wife and daughter, most of the gifts he gave were jewelry, but he had never given any. She has so much cash savings.
Although she was short of money, Cao Shuting understood the principle of losing the opponent rather than losing the momentum, so she could only bite the bullet and agreed with a smile, "Of course, Mr. Wei."
Seeing the scene in front of him, Tang Xiaoxiao frowned and quietly pulled Wei Yanmo aside, "Brother Mo, they are here, so I won't show up."
"That's fine." Wei Yanmo responded knowing what was going on with the Tang family.
No one from a big family is a fool. Seeing the little princess of the Tang family sneaking into the crowd like this, they knew that the little princess didn't want to meet her stepmother, so they didn't make it clear, and no one wanted to taunt Tang Xiaoxiao. The news at the scene was told to Cao Shuting and her daughter.
It’s not that Tang Xiaoxiao is afraid of their mother and daughter, it’s just that in this situation, meeting them will inevitably lead to a fight between two tigers. With Cao Shuting’s stupidity, she will definitely make a fuss and make others laugh in vain. - Tang I can't afford to lose face like this.
I'm afraid that at this time, Tang Xiaoxiao didn't realize that she had regarded the Tang family as her own home and Tang Yuanfeng as her father. Otherwise, how could she rather avoid Cao Shuting and her daughter to protect the Tang family? Face, to protect father’s face
Seeing Tang Xiaoxiao come back safe and sound, actresses such as Sun Yating, Feifei Ying, Zhao Nina, etc. naturally had no good looks towards her. Cheng Mu also cast worried and worried eyes on Tang Xiaoxiao, and received a "Don't worry" from the other party. With a look in his eyes, Cheng Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The charity auction has finally begun. The buffet banquet has been set up with mahogany tables and chairs near the front of the stage. The truly heavyweight officials and wealthy children are seated respectively. The wealthy businessmen worth hundreds of millions of dollars are sitting at the back. Of course , the remaining people are not eligible to sit down, they can only stand at the back, and everyone has an auction call sign in their hand.
The waiters handed out the calling signs one by one. When it was Tang Xiaoxiao's turn, Cheng Mu just said that there was no need to give them to her, but then he saw the waiter respectfully handed over the calling signs with both hands and asked cautiously, "Miss Tang, in front of you. I’ve arranged your place as well, why don’t you go to the front and take a rest?”
Tang Xiaoxiao was speechless and said calmly, "No need, I'll just stand behind you."
"That's fine, Miss Tang. If you need anything, please come down immediately."
Seeing the waiter leaving, Cheng Mu's face changed slightly and he looked at Tang Xiaoxiao carefully, "Xiaoxiao, what's going on? Are you really..."
"Hey!" Tang Xiaoxiao hit Cheng Mu with a calling sign in an angry and funny tone, "Why are you such a gossip?! You actually believe such rumors! I just know the young master of the Wei family. People from Shengshi Entertainment wanted to cause trouble for me, but it happened that the young master of the Wei family helped me out. I met Wei Yanmo just now, so the servants here are so respectful to me."
A trace of sadness flashed in Cheng Mu's eyes, and then he managed to cheer up and joked, "Xiaoxiao, does that Wei Yanmo want to chase you? Tsk, tsk, he is the young master of the Wei family, a diamond king, a rich family, Wan Guan... you have to hold on to such a wealthy son-in-law."
Only he himself knows how much jealousy there is in such words.
Tang Xiaoxiao gave Cheng Mu a cute look, "Although Wei Yanmo is good, it's a pity that he is not my type. If you dare to gossip again, I will make you lose your job!"
Hearing this, Cheng Mu seemed to be relieved.
"Tsk, tsk, what's going on with the waiters here?" Sun Yating's annoying voice rang in her ears again, still sarcastic, "She actually gave her calling card to such a poor guy. Just look at what she's wearing. You'll know Can she afford the things here?”
Ying Feifei covered her cherry mouth with her hand and said with a charming smile, "Miss Tang, not everyone is qualified to get the calling card here. You must know that tonight's charity night can easily bring hundreds to thousands... Of course , it’s hundreds of millions, not the tens of dollars you spend buying vegetables at the vegetable market.”
"That's right." Zhao Nina glanced at Cheng Mu and said with a sinister smile, "Cheng Mu, you don't think much of your own little toy, you are so shameless, you even dare to ask for the number plate here... Oh, I forgot , I'm so sorry, your little toy has hooked up with the big tree of the young master of the Wei family. Miss Tang, why don't you go to the young master of the Wei family? You won't be beaten to death after being played with by others. Kicked?"
Yang Shan also stood aside and said with a sarcastic smile, "Xiaoxiao, I almost forgot, you seem to have had an affair with the young master Liang Zhenxuan just now, right? Tsk, tsk, I'm not talking about you, you should also pay attention to the influence. Okay, it would be bad if the two young masters find out about this."
Cheng Mu rubbed his eyebrows with a headache. For the first time, he realized why these women's faces were so disgusting.
On the contrary, it was Tang Xiaoxiao who had put the red wine glass aside and was struggling with the lobsters on the long self-service dining table. Although she was the little princess of the Tang family, all her pocket money had been given to Old Anthony for the working capital of the company. , I often run out and can't eat whatever I want. I haven't eaten such large lobsters and hairy crabs for several days.
Tang Xiaoxiao was born with a love for meat. She ate until the meat in her stomach had grown where it should have grown. She also liked seafood very much. It was a rare occasion to eat it today. How could she not treat her stomach well
As for these women... let them chatter on their own!
Of course, what Tang Xiaoxiao didn't notice was that a pair of eyes from the darkness had been carefully observing her every move. When he saw her greedy look, he finally couldn't help but smile.
The emcee who presided over the auction was an old appraiser from the auction house. He was wearing a black satin coat and holding a small hammer in his hand. He walked up to the front desk, glanced down, cleared his throat, and then said loudly, "Dear guests. , I am honored that Lao Xian will host this charity auction today. On behalf of the Wei Group, I would like to promise that all proceeds from today's auction will be used to donate to the construction of water resources in water-scarce provinces in western China. I also ask the whole society to supervise This project.”
Applause rang out like a tide. Mr. Wei, who was sitting below, stood up slowly with a cane in his hand, bowed in several directions behind him, and then sat down again.
"Okay, without further ado, please bring up the first auction item today!" In the loud voice of the old appraiser, the first auction item was finally invited to the stage, and it turned out to be an old-fashioned pocket watch.
"Today's first auction item is a pocket watch donated by young master Wei Yanmo. The pocket watch case is made of pure gold and is of exquisite workmanship. After identification, this pocket watch is a rare pocket watch used by President Yuan Shikai and Yuan Da. , the starting price is 100,000 yuan, okay, everyone, please bid!"
Since it belongs to Wei Yanmo, the young master of the Wei family, even if the historical value of this pocket watch is ignored, just for the sake of Wei Yanmo's face, it is worthy of many ladies and ladies raising their calling signs.
"One hundred twenty thousand!"
"One hundred and fifty thousand."
Sounds like warblers' cries sounded one after another. As soon as it started, many ladies had already smelled the strong smell of gunpowder, and each of them quoted the price unwilling to be outdone. Wei Yanmo's expression became more and more happy, and the things he donated were sold. For a good price, it is quite a face-saving thing on a charity night.
As the price increased little by little, a voice finally rang out, "Half a million."
Everyone turned around and saw that the price was paid by Liu Kailing, a young lady from the Liu family in Donghai City.
Seeing everyone's surprised gazes, Liu Kailing straightened her chest unconsciously, her arrogance and pride unabashedly revealed. Especially when she saw Wei Yanmo's gaze coming through, Liu Kailing's expression was even more surprised.
The Liu family in Donghai City can only be regarded as a small and wealthy family. The family's assets are over 100 million, which barely meets the qualifications of a wealthy family. It cannot be compared with the behemoth Wei family. Her move is just to attract Wei Yanmo's attention. If the Liu family and the Wei family can marry, it will bring unexpected benefits to the Liu family.
Naturally, everyone understands this little thought tacitly.
"Five hundred thousand?! Okay, the price has already reached half a million. I wonder if there is anything higher than this price?" The old appraiser looked around, "Fifty million once... Five hundred thousand twice... Fifty thousand Ten thousand times... OK, deal!"
"Idiot..." Tang Xiaoxiao frowned and couldn't help muttering quietly, "Spend half a million to buy a destruction watch, you pig brain."
Cheng Mu gave a helpless smile and said, "Xiaoxiao, what she bought was not this pocket watch, but Wei Yanmo's attention. You don't take Wei Yanmo to heart, but the rich and famous ladies who want to marry him are waiting in line. It became a long dragon.”
"It's OK! It's OK!" Tang Xiaoxiao looked at Cheng Mu with a smile, "You are quite familiar with these things about wealthy families."
Cheng Mu's expression seemed a little distant, "When I was twelve years old and before my father's company went bankrupt, my father took me to several charity dinners like this..."
"Okay, what comes next is the second auction item, a costume donated by the famous movie star Miss Ning Ruoxuan. This dress is the costume worn by Miss Ning in the movie "Sky and Sea". I like Miss Ning Ruoxuan. Fans of the movie should pay attention, the starting price of this costume is 30,000 yuan."
Compared with the little excitement caused by the first auction item, this costume is obviously a bit quiet. The key is that the identities of the donors of the auction items are different. One is a wealthy young man, the other is a movie star, and a mere star in the entertainment industry. , naturally there is no need for anyone to deliberately please her, and it is normal if no one scorns her.
Fortunately, Ning Ruoxuan was prepared in advance. She walked behind a pot-bellied man sitting in the last row and called out sweetly, "Boss Du..."
The pot-bellied old man understood, stretched out his hand and pinched Ning Ruoxuan's butt, laughed, and finally raised the call sign, "Fifty thousand yuan."
Soon, Ning Ruoxuan's close friend Du Qisheng also raised his calling sign and said loudly, "Eighty thousand yuan."
Ning Ruoxuan quickly acted coquettishly, "Boss Du..."
"One hundred thousand yuan!" Boss Du chuckled and glanced up and down Ning Ruoxuan's curvy figure, not caring about the money at all.
Amidst the voices of the two people, Boss Du called out "Twenty thousand," and Du Qisheng finally fell silent. The costume was finally bought by the boss named Du for a price of 120,000. As for what they said in private No one else knows what kind of deal there will be.
Most of the items auctioned by celebrities are worthless items such as costumes, and most of the people willing to pay for these items are their familiar bosses or friends.
In traditional Chinese thought, stars are actors. The so-called "three religions and nine streams" include the so-called "actors". Therefore, in the mainstream thinking of wealthy families, film and television stars and singers are just their playthings and cannot be put on the stage. Even today's In the social environment, countless little girls and boys crazily worship celebrities. This disdain for the entertainment industry is still deep-rooted and cannot be changed. It is no wonder that these wealthy families disdain to buy the things donated by these celebrities.
Tang Xiaoxiao looked at Ning Ruoxuan's little tricks and shook her head helplessly. Without her own restraint, she had fallen to the situation she is in today... She should have hated her, but seeing her situation and behavior today, she suddenly felt... She is pitiful and pathetic.
Ning Ruoxuan has fallen, hasn't she
The door of the banquet hall opened again, and everyone's attention was focused on the stage in front, but no one noticed that two people, one large and one small, quietly came in from behind, wearing low-key casual clothes. As soon as they walked in, they greeted each other. He hid in the shadows in the distance, as if afraid of being seen.
"Why should we hide?" Zhengtai Muli frowned, with a look of displeasure on his face, "Tang Jingchen, you are also a young master of a wealthy family, right? You are attending a dinner party, it doesn't matter if you don't wear formal clothes, but you are still so sneaky!"
There was a hint of helplessness in Tang Jingchen's gentle expression, "Mu Li... We are just here to see Xiaoxiao. We don't need to be recognized by those young ladies and actresses. Xiaoxiao never attends such dinners. No one knows that she is normal, but I I often participated in it when I was in China. Just think about it first, surrounded by those women... "
Shota flattened his lips and said, "Okay, I guess you said it politely."
"When the dinner is about to end, we will go find Xiaoxiao." Tang Jingchen rubbed his brows with a headache, "I really can't stand the special training of those teachers anymore."
The cold young lady nodded in a rare moment, "Agree."
The old appraiser standing on the stage suddenly looked a little excited and raised his voice unconsciously, "The next item is an item donated by Mr. Wei himself. Please keep your eyes open and prepare your calling signs. !”
Obviously, the old appraiser looked a little excited when he mentioned this auction item.
Soon, when the two waiters carefully moved the auction items onto the stage, the entire banquet hall gasped in unison. What the old man of the Wei family donated was actually a natural red coral tree over one meter high!
The red coral, which looks like blood, exudes a dazzling luster and color like blood under the brilliant lights, as if it takes away everyone's breath...
"What a good thing!" someone exclaimed with emotion.
Suddenly, a beautiful middle-aged woman sitting at the other end of the first row laughed wildly and arrogantly, and deliberately smiled at Cao Shuting, who was sitting not far away, in a voice that everyone could hear, "Mrs. Tang, The Tang family is extremely wealthy, so you won’t come back empty-handed, right? This thing is a collection of treasures brought out by Mr. Wei, and Mrs. Tang must be determined to get it, right?"
The meaning of the middle-aged beautiful woman's words is very obvious. Your Tang family is so rich. You, Mrs. Tang, will definitely take a picture of this red coral today. If you can't take a picture... Hehe, your Tang family doesn't need to lose face anymore!
This aggressiveness made the atmosphere in the whole place tense instantly, and the air seemed to become thicker. The arrogance and provocation on the face of the middle-aged beautiful woman were obvious. The smell of gunpowder smoke in the air filled the dinner hall, making everyone unable to help but hold their breath. He held his breath and cast his nervous and expectant eyes on "Mrs. Tang" sitting there.
Tang Jingchen, standing in the shadow, frowned for the first time and whispered, "Mu Li, things are a little bad."
"What's wrong?" It was rare to see Tang Jingchen depressed like this.
Tang Jingchen took a deep breath and frowned, "I'm afraid Aunt Cao is not qualified to make the decision. Not only her, but also even if I go out now, I am not qualified to make the decision, because - the other party's surname is also Tang! Now, I'm afraid, Only Xiaoxiao is qualified to stand up. The Tang family in Liyang and the Tang family in Beijing are from the same clan. Speaking of which, Cao Shuting and Tang Rou are just outsiders of the Tang family. How can we have the qualifications to fight with the Tang family in Beijing? "
Mr. Wei frowned, tapped the table uneasily, waved, called his grandson Wei Yanmo over, whispered something, Wei Yanmo nodded knowingly, and when no one was paying attention to him, Quietly walked towards the back and came to Tang Xiaoxiao.
Seeing Wei Yanmo coming over, Cheng Mu's face changed slightly and he looked at him warily.
Wei Yanmo didn't say much, he just leaned his head and lowered his voice and said calmly, "Xiaoxiao, this woman's surname is Tang and she comes from the capital."
With just one sentence, Tang Xiaoxiao immediately understood what Wei Yanmo meant, her eyes narrowed slightly, a chilling light flashed in her eyes, and her little daughter's posture changed instantly...
She is majestic, majestic and inviolable at this moment!
Cheng Mu looked at Tang Xiaoxiao in shock and disbelief.
Cao Shuting's expression changed, and she clenched her fists unconsciously, as if she was hesitating about something.
Tang Rou quietly put her head in, lowered her voice, and sneered, "Mom, we didn't bring any money when we came out today. Besides, Tang Yuanfeng is so stingy to us. He only gives us a million yuan in pocket money every month. What does the Tang family’s reputation have to do with us?”
Her daughter's words were like a shot in the arm, making the hesitant Cao Shuting make up her mind. Then she laughed loudly at the person from the Tang family in the capital, "It seems that you like this coral very much. In that case, I won’t take away people’s love, please do as you please.”
Is she giving in? !
Tang Xiaoxiao's pupils suddenly shrank, and she suddenly sneered, you mother and daughter - you are so self-inflicted and unlucky!
Under the stunned but disbelieving looks of Cheng Mu, Sun Yating, Ying Feifei, Zhao Nina, Yang Shan and other people around her, Tang Xiaoxiao pushed Wei Yanmo aside and walked forward proudly with light steps.
Her back... very firm, yes, just firm.
When a strange and beautiful figure appeared in front of them, the rich people were all stunned. They had no idea what this girl wearing jeans and a T-shirt wanted to do in front of her
Tang Xiaoxiao walked to the front little by little, with a touch of coldness and calmness that did not belong to her age on her beautiful and elegant little face. Her little body seemed to contain endless energy, as if it were a towering tower. No matter how high the mountain is, no external force can shake her unparalleled pride and unyieldingness.
Mr. Wei smiled when he saw her;
Cao Shuting was dumbfounded when she saw her;
Tang Rou was stunned when she saw her;
With a snap, the slap was crisp and loud in the huge banquet hall.
This time, it was not Tang Rou who was beaten, but Cao Shuting, who was an elder and stepmother.
A clear and bone-chilling voice sounded, "I'm going to beat you, and you accept it - or don't you accept it?"
"I, I..." Cao Shuting was completely stunned by this slap.
A slap also blinded the entire audience, including Cheng Mu, Yang Shan, Sun Yating, Zhao Nina, and Ying Feifei.
What a joke!
-The woman who was beaten was the wife of Tang Yuanfeng, the wife of Tang Dynasty Industrial and Tangren Group... Where did the little girl dare to beat Mrs. Tang in public in full view of the public? ! After the beating, he actually asked him, "Will you accept it if I beat you?"
Someone immediately recognized this beautiful little girl, wasn't she the girl who was rumored to be Wei Yanmo's little lover just now? Could it be that the beating of Mrs. Tang was the instruction of the head of the Wei family? Impossible, even the Wei family would not provoke the Liyang Tang family so blatantly...
Cheng Mu and Yang Shan were completely stunned, with only one thought in their hearts - Is Tang Xiaoxiao crazy? Why did she suddenly run ahead and hit someone's wealthy lady!
After a brief period of confusion, Yang Shan suddenly felt an indescribable feeling of joy in her heart. She deserved it! Tang Xiaoxiao got carried away with her pride and found retribution, right? -This time you hit a wealthy lady, I want to see how you get away!
However, Yang Shan soon became disappointed, because everything in front of her completely subverted her understanding:
Tang Rou's eyes suddenly turned red and she screamed hysterically. The harsh voice echoed throughout the banquet hall, so sharp that it made people's bones go cold. "—Tang Xiaoxiao, why did you hit my mother?! Don't think you are Tang. As the eldest daughter of our family, you can do whatever you want, my mother is your father’s wife, the wife of the Tang family, and also your stepmother!”
Tang Xiaoxiao stood in front of everyone so calmly, and suddenly smiled, her smile blooming like a flower, but her voice was filled with an icy coldness that went deep into her bones!
"Tang Rou, are you qualified to speak here? - Do I allow you to speak?"
Bang, the slap came again, Tang Rou received a hard slap!
After beating Tang Rou, Tang Xiaoxiao quietly rubbed her numb hands and said calmly, "Tang Rou, from today on, your surname will be changed back to Cao instead of Tang. In addition, the monthly fee you will receive will be reduced. Half, please remember, this money is given to you by our Tang family!"
So arrogant!
So arrogant!
Mr. Wei almost suffered a heart attack from excitement. This girl from the Tang family is so cruel! If our Wei family could have such a granddaughter-in-law, I would be able to kick off my legs and fly to the west right now! Wei Yanmo is more than capable in his actions, but not ruthless. If he can marry such a wife, why should the Wei family have a bright future
For Tang Rou, this sentence was like a nightmare!
"From today on, I will change my surname back to Cao... This money is given to you by our Tang family..." Such words lingered in Tang Rou's mind like a nightmare. If she were not given the surname Tang, she would no longer be inferior to anyone. The Miss Tang family who is above all others, the charity of the Tang family...
"Tang Xiaoxiao! What qualifications do you have to do this?!" Tang Rou seemed to be completely crazy, her eyes were red and she kept screaming, "Dad will never allow you to do this!"
Tang Xiaoxiao sneered, and his arrogant and arrogant voice echoed in the dinner hall, "Just because I am Tang Xiaoxiao, just because I am the head of the Tang family, just because I am the only eldest lady of the Tang family! Remember, I am the only one The eldest lady of the Tang family..."
"Also," Tang Xiaoxiao suddenly softened her tone and smiled charmingly, but the coldness and majesty in her eyes did not diminish at all. "Please remember, your surname is Cao, and you are just a dragster brought here by this woman. Our Tang family You should be grateful for a mouthful of food given to you - don't think that you are really the eldest lady of the Tang family! And don't have any other evil thoughts!"
"You..." At the last word, Tang Rou's pupils suddenly shrank.
Ignoring Tang Rou, who should probably be called Cao Rou at this moment, Tang Xiaoxiao turned his attention to Cao Shuting, who was sitting there completely stunned, and asked again condescendingly, "I just beat you, have you accepted it?"
"I, I..." Cao Shuting covered her face with her hands, finally lowered her proud head, tears streaming down her face, and said with a choked voice, "I'm convinced..."
Compared with her daughter Cao Rou's cleverness, Cao Shuting is a truly smart woman. She did not plead for herself and her daughter because she knew that her actions just now had made an unforgivable mistake.
Bowing to the Tang family in the capital, in Tang Yuanfeng's eyes, meant betrayal.
Tang Jingchen just stared blankly at his favorite sister, the girl named Tang Xiaoxiao.
She used to be so pure and simple, living in the dreams and beauty her father had compiled for her. Her father's love was her whole world, and she was so dedicated to Tang Zheng, and she loved Tang Zheng so simply and persistently.
In her world, there are only her father and Tang Zheng.
At this time, I actually couldn't understand this girl anymore. Maybe it was because of that Nirvana, maybe it was because she felt more sorrow for Tang Zheng than her heart died, maybe it was because she already had a new life and hope, maybe because she had a new life and hope, maybe because She is no longer the person she once was.
Her world is already colorful, and everyone is just a passer-by in her life.
Her courage, her fierceness, her pride, her intelligence, everything about her... She is as bright and dazzling as the bright moon in the sky, destined to attract everyone's attention, including herself.
Looking at the beautiful figure in the center of the field, Tang Jingchen's eyes became more gentle and intoxicating.
Xiao Zhengtai looked at Tang Xiaoxiao's frown and smile from a distance, the corners of her lips curled up unconsciously, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, "I never thought... this woman, besides being ridiculous, would actually have such courage and courage. wrist."
"Jingchen, Xiaoli." A familiar voice sounded from behind, and a hand was placed behind Tang Jingchen's back. There was a hint of majesty and calmness in the voice, "It's me, don't make any noise, my identity is not suitable to appear here, You guys come with me and leave here for now.”
Tang Jingchen took a breath and said, "...Yes, Dad."
Mu Li smiled playfully, this Tang family... was much more interesting than his own family.
A burst of crisp applause suddenly sounded in the silent banquet hall. The beautiful middle-aged woman just now clapped her hands, glanced at Tang Xiaoxiao's cold little face, and smiled slightly, "Tsk tsk, it's really a tiger father without a dog daughter. Xiaoxiao's skills are really admirable... If that incompetent boy of mine could ever become one-tenth of Xiaoxiao's abilities, I would be completely relieved."
A sneer curled up at the corner of Tang Xiaoxiao's lips, and she cast her arrogant gaze on the middle-aged beautiful woman, and said calmly, "My aunt is laughing because my tutoring is not strict."
Yes, that's the aunt. This woman is Tang Xiaoxiao's biological aunt and Tang Yuanfeng's biological sister!
The Tang family in the capital city is China's top wealthy family. The family has a long history. It has been an imperial businessman for generations. It has been passed down to this generation. The Tang family controls a quarter of China's state-owned enterprises. The power in their hands is huge, and it cannot be regarded as misappropriated assets. Every year The dividends and gray income received are figures that ordinary wealthy families cannot even imagine!
Back then, Tang Yuanfeng's success relied on the power, wealth and influence of the Tang family. Unexpectedly, Tang Yuanfeng and the Tang family suddenly developed a sworn hatred for some unknown reason. Tang Yuanfeng angrily took the family he had created. Ye Ye left the capital and came to Liyang City in S Province to secretly accumulate his own power and wealth.
Originally, the Tang family in the capital did not take their youngest son seriously, but by the time the Tang family noticed something was wrong, Tang Yuanfeng had already established his own business and established a reputation as one of China's top wealthy families. He was no longer the youngest son of the Tang family who was at their mercy...
The Tang family in the capital hated Tang Yuanfeng for being ungrateful, and Tang Yuanfeng hated the Tang family in the capital for being ruthless and mean. The two sides completely developed a grudge, and would fight each other to the bitter end every time they met.
Tang Yuanfeng is the youngest son of the Tang family, and the beautiful middle-aged woman in front of him is Tang Meijuan, the youngest daughter of the Tang family.
If Tang Meijuan hadn't been here today, or if Cao Shuting and Tang Rou had really fought hard and were willing to save face for their father, Tang Xiaoxiao would not have revealed her identity at all, nor would she have let anyone know her identity as the eldest daughter of the Tang family...
It's a pity that there are not so many "ifs" and "buts" in the world. As the daughter of the Tang family, she has to take on the responsibility of the eldest lady of the Tang family. Her stepmother cannot support the Tang family's face, so she can only This girl in her early twenties supported the Liyang Tang family's reputation and had no regrets even though she would never have a peaceful life again and became the focus of everyone's attention.
Because she is Tang Xiaoxiao, the only eldest lady of the Tang family. While she enjoys all the rich food and clothing, she must also shoulder the responsibility of the eldest lady of the Tang family!
The middle-aged beautiful woman suddenly curved her lips, "-But, I don't know how my brother educated you? Even if Mrs. Tang is not your biological mother, she is at least your stepmother in name, right? As a daughter, you beat yourself up. Mother, can you do such a rebellious act? I wonder if you thought we, the Tang family, were all so uneducated."
Tang Xiaoxiao moved her feet, walked to Wei Yanmo's seat, and sat down. A waiter took the opportunity to bring a goblet of red wine. Tang Xiaoxiao took it and nodded slightly to the waiter. She took a sip of red wine and then said slowly, "Auntie is joking. The Tang family in Liyang and the Tang family in Jingcheng have been separated for a long time. This is a well-known thing. There is no longer any relationship between the two Tang families. Why talk about 'our Tang family'? Please be careful what you say."
As he spoke, Tang Xiaoxiao crossed his legs and leaned slightly on the back of the seat. The whole movement was indescribably graceful and noble, "What's more, this woman is just my father's plaything. I just beat her up. As for her being my mother... do you think she is qualified?"
The rhetorical question left the middle-aged beautiful woman speechless. It also reminded the middle-aged beautiful woman of Tang Xiaoxiao's biological mother. She could only glare at Tang Xiaoxiao sitting there with fear, suppressing her anger, "I haven't seen her for a long time. Xiaoxiao has passed, and I didn’t expect that Xiaoxiao would become so prosperous. My aunt auctioned off this red coral tree and gave it to Xiaoxiao as a meeting gift after not seeing her for so long. "
Tang Xiaoxiao smiled casually and said, "Auntie, I don't dare to take it for granted. Our Tang family in Liyang still has such a small amount of money. This red coral tree was bought by my niece and given to my aunt as a birthday gift."
At this moment, all the eyes of the audience were focused on this mysterious girl who appeared inexplicably, staring at her noble, graceful and elegant silhouette. They could never imagine that just now she was the object of trampling and ridicule, why at this moment, - actually changed. So unattainable? !
The red wine in Cheng Mu's hand has been replaced by high-quality white wine.
I don’t know when it started, but that charming girl quietly appeared in my dream. Her every smile and every move seemed to be enchanted, and it was firmly engraved in my mind. She was like her in reality. Capable, intelligent and beautiful, she was just like she is today in the dream, graceful, elegant and inviolable...
The only difference is that in the dream, she will sit coquettishly in his arms like an ordinary girl, allowing himself to be loved and loved. But at this moment, she is completely far away from him, just like a A queen-like existence can only make people look up to and surrender to her.
She is no longer the little girl who follows behind her - she is the eldest lady of the first-class wealthy Liyang Tang family!
She is strong, capable, ruthless and in control of everything!
I thought she would be the most important girl in my life. She needed to be cared for by me, treated with consideration, shielded from wind and rain by myself, and the brightest light in her world... I thought I was protecting her by my side. , will become the only one in her life.
It's a pity... I am overestimating my abilities.
She is the eldest daughter of the Tang family. Her father has assets worth hundreds of billions. She is her father's daughter. She is the proud daughter of a wealthy family. She is the eldest daughter with a fortune that attracts everyone's attention...
The most important thing is that she will never belong to me - because I am just a poor boy and have never been qualified.
The scene finally became quiet. Mr. Wei gave the dumbfounded old appraiser a look. The old appraiser wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, nodded knowingly, and cleared his throat, "It seems that the guests in the audience Some of us are determined to get this thing, so please prepare your calling signs... The starting price of this rare red coral tree is one million yuan!"
Spend countless money to buy such a useless thing? Only a fool would do it!
There are no ignorant rich people who would argue with these two women. One is a generational royal businessman and top wealthy family in the capital, and controls a quarter of the country's state-owned monopoly companies. The other is the number one wealthy family in S Province. With assets of hundreds of billions, although the two Tang families don't know why they are at odds with each other, they are from the same branch, and no one is stupid enough to find trouble with them.
"One million and one hundred thousand."
"1.2 million."
"Two million."
…
The numbers are rising little by little. Of course, these rich people bidding have no intention of buying this red coral tree at all. They are just doing it as a foreplay for the collision between the two wealthy families. On the other hand, looking at the two real owners, one One of them was looking at his nails, one was tasting red wine, and they all looked like it was none of my business.
Soon, the calling finally stopped, and the price rose to 8 million. This price was already the peak of the appreciation of this red coral tree. Beyond this price, you will not continue unless you have other intentions. Auction, otherwise, who would buy this useless thing
The beautiful middle-aged woman couldn't hold back anymore and raised her number sign, "Ten million."
As soon as she spoke, the entire banquet hall fell silent. No one dared to raise the call sign anymore, but countless pairs of eyes were staring at Tang Xiaoxiao.
Seeing that the middle-aged beautiful woman had already taken action, Tang Xiaoxiao curled her lips, put down the goblet in her hand, and said a price that made everyone salivate, "50 million."
Five times? ! It's actually five times what I paid? ! This is not something that can be spent with just a few million. After spending 50 million to buy such a useless thing, the Liyang Tang family is really wealthy!
The middle-aged beautiful woman took a deep breath and stared at Tang Xiaoxiao with cold eyes. Although she was resentful and angry, she couldn't help but secretly admire this girl's skill. She originally thought that Tang Xiaoxiao would at least ask for millions and millions, but she didn't. Thinking of her directly raising the price to the threshold of 50 million!
This damn girl! —Should we say she is domineering enough, or is she simply a prodigal? !
However, if I add it at this price, I might not have enough money, right? The middle-aged beautiful woman calmed down quickly. The Tang family in the capital was a government businessman. Although they controlled a quarter of the state-owned enterprises, they were clearly state-owned assets! Families that are involved in political and official circles are afraid that their descendants will do something excessive and implicate the family. The Tang family in the capital is walking on thin ice in the official circles, for fear of causing corruption and corruption. It is not as wealthy as Tang Yuanfeng...
Damn it! If Tang Yuanfeng had not left the Tang family in the first place, would all the property of the Tang family in Liyang now be left to my squandering? !
"One hundred million." The beautiful middle-aged woman gritted her teeth.
Tang Xiaoxiao smiled brightly and raised the call sign without blinking, "Two hundred million."
When the price reached this point, everyone was completely dumbfounded. Even the old man of the Wei family was secretly dumbfounded. The Tang family in Liyang was really wealthy, - 200 million yuan. Although the Wei family could also afford this amount of money, it would definitely not be possible. It will make a junior use 200 million to make trouble for others!
The middle-aged beautiful woman took a deep breath, stared at Tang Xiaoxiao, and said word by word, "Tang Xiaoxiao! You are ruthless enough!"
Tang Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded slightly towards the beautiful middle-aged woman. Feng Qingyun smiled lightly, seemingly not caring about the squandering of these two hundred million, "Thank you for the compliment."
"Two hundred million," the old appraiser couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, smacking his lips at such a number. You must know that the highest price for such a red coral tree on the international auction market is only 700. It’s only over 10,000 yuan, who would have imagined that it would be sold here for 200 million yuan!
"Two hundred million... the first time! Has anyone offered a higher price than this? Has anyone made another bid? Two hundred million, the second time! This is the second time. Has anyone offered a higher price than this? Two hundred million. Billion, the third time..."
Before he finished speaking, a deep and magnetic voice suddenly sounded from a corner, "Three hundred million."
Gudong, someone is having a heart attack.
Everyone asked about his name, and a tall and burly young man walked out from the dim shadows. He was wearing a well-tailored hand-tailored evening suit. The pure black color complemented his black hair. He was about 1.9 meters tall. It brought unprecedented oppression to the audience. There was a cold evil aura in the charming eyebrows, a seductive crimson on the extremely thin lips, and a beautiful face that made people feel nauseous. The evil aura of coldness makes the whole person burn like a piece of vicious ice...
The moment he appeared, the whole place seemed to be plunged into an inexplicable pressure. Everyone couldn't help but shrink their necks and shudder.
"Tch, show off!" Shota Muli, who was hiding in the shadows, curled his lips disdainfully. He didn't know whether it was disdain or jealousy, but muttered secretly, "I haven't mastered the momentum and murderous intent yet, and I can't send and receive it freely and return to nature. In this situation, what is there to show off?"
Just when everyone was enveloped by such a low pressure, the handsome and evil man suddenly pursed his lips and made a very beautiful arc. The whole scene seemed like spring blossoms in an instant, making everyone sigh in relief.
"Three hundred million." The handsome and evil man repeated, but his eyes stayed on Tang Xiaoxiao for a long time.
Tang Xiaoxiao frowned. She really didn't like this handsome and evil man. However, since there was a villain who was willing to spend money to buy this crap, he thought it was helping him save money...
This red coral tree is not worth the price at all. I am willing to spend 200 million just to destroy the prestige of the Tang family in the capital. Since someone is willing to pay a higher price, there is no need to spend so much money to buy such a tree. I am not a prodigal girl using the things I use.
The old appraiser stood there stupidly, holding the hammer in mid-air for a long time without falling, as if he was completely trapped in another dimension of time and space.
"Three, three hundred million!" The old appraiser seemed to have finally come to his senses and knocked the hammer regardless of the rules. "Three hundred million yuan, deal!"
Mr. Wei stood up with a smile, holding a cane in his hand, walked up to the handsome young man, and asked in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, "Old Wei Xiaoren, are you..."
