Cheng Lang walked out of the private room, his joking expression slightly restrained when he said "catch koi".
Gao Rui, who was drinking tea on the sofa chair in the corridor, got up immediately: "You are..."
Cheng Lang raised his hand to stop him: "Was that kid happy when he left?"
"Yes, when the young master knew that you prepared a cruise ship for him to travel around the world, he was so happy that Ms. Zhao and Ms. Xu didn't care about any of his ex-girlfriends. He even broke up with the current female celebrity and went abroad without incident. Only later , I don’t know if I heard the news from the group outside, and saw that you pushed the eldest son over after dismissing him, and I was angry with you, so I turned back.”
That's right.
Cheng Lang knew this cousin well - picking a woman depends on appearance, and he has no longing for anything. Although it is always the best not to get, men will be more obsessed with women who want to sleep but can't sleep, but compared with women, face is always the first. Cheng Ye lost people a few times, even though he still coveted Xu Qiao, there is no reason to put down his body and continue to chase and beat him.
So tonight's incident was either a coincidence, or Cheng Ye did not seek peace with Xu Qiao, but simply provoked trouble.
Rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry. Although Cheng Ye doesn't set foot in the mall, seeing his brother being bullied by his cousin, he always favors his family. It is not impossible to get revenge on Cheng Lang.
As for retaliation...
If Cheng Lang could easily penetrate this brain circuit, he might not be able to become the president.
Gao Rui also thought of this relationship, and persuaded: "Young master, if you really plan to do something, the people below will not be able to stop you, so you should go there yourself. If we think too much, let's take it for a ride! "
Cheng Lang sighed and waved his hand, motioning for him to prepare the car.
From the moment he learned of Xu Qiao's true background, his reason told him that he should not associate with her anymore.
Her unrestrained personality easily caused an impact on his condition.
She exploded at once, and her temper, which was not easy to fool, made him feel troublesome and difficult to control.
Her family status may one day expose his hidden illness to this circle.
Until now, he still hasn't changed his mind, so he always maintains a businesslike attitude in front of her.
But recently, this "official business" is too much.
One wave is not settled and another wave rises again, but neither wave can stand by and watch. He is really spinning in the waves.
Cheng Lang pressed his temple and walked down the crystal spiral staircase.
—
Under the porch of the Lipai Hotel, a Rolls-Royce Ghost and a Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped successively.
Xu Qiao was late tonight. She returned to Xijiang Mansion from Audreyden. She had moved a house, and after working all day, she would be late to go out.
Unexpectedly, she was not the only one who was late.
After getting out of the car, Xu Qiao glanced at the Phantom, and saw Wen Yue who was wearing the same sea blue mermaid dress as her.
Tonight's private jewelry auction was launched by the well-known jewelry lover Townsend. It is a feast that women who love gems will never miss.
If Fancui Jewelry hadn't been dismissed by Lan Chenqing, and Zhao Baoxing had gotten into trouble and avoided seeing others, he would probably have followed Wen Yue at this moment.
Xu Qiao was not surprised that Wen Yue was there, but was a little surprised that the two wore similar styles again.
According to this close aesthetic taste, there may be a bad battle to be fought tonight.
Wen Yue nodded to her indifferently as a greeting.
Xu Qiao held the corner of her mouth with a smile on her face, and with her handbag lightly clamped on her waist, she followed the waiter into the auction venue.
The auction in the venue was already in full swing, the golden spotlights were concentrated on the stage, and there was a shadow below.
Xu Qiao sat down in the back row in the dark, and at a glance saw that the pair of pink diamond earrings displayed on the big screen had an eight-figure figure.
The jewelry auctions launched by Townsend are all anonymous. In his words, women are as precious as jewelry, and he doesn't want women to hurt each other because of jewelry.
But this statement may just be a fig leaf for money.
In fact, this kind of anonymous bidding is usually kept secret for a while. After each auction, gossip is spread, or the parties show off everywhere. It is just an open secret which jewel goes to whom.
However, since people don't have to worry about whose daughter or son is at the moment of bidding, such a model will indeed make the bidding process more intense, and it will also raise the price of jewelry to a higher level.
For example, the value of this pair of earrings, estimated at only US$800,000 overseas, doubled after Townsend made them.
But Xu Qiao lacked interest in it.
In her eyes, many of Townsend's jewelry are gimmicks that are not worth the money. She did her homework before coming, and her only goal tonight was a bracelet with an overseas valuation of one million Swiss francs.
The main stone of the bracelet is Burmese sapphire of "royal blue" level, which is quite rare in clarity, and the design and craftsmanship rarely meet her approval. What's more, it matched the navy blue mermaid dress she was wearing tonight.
So Xu Qiaochun was a spectator for a few rounds, until the bracelet caught his eye, then he straightened up, raised his hand and pressed the bidder on the armrest of the seat.
Naturally, there were not as many bidders for the bracelet with a starting price of 7 million yuan, but there were still many people who were not short of money. Within three minutes, the auction price on the big screen doubled.
Fourteen million is a watershed, and if it goes up, there will be fewer people following the price.
When the auctioneer shouted "14 million times", Xu Qiao pressed the bidding button for the first time.
However, the war filled with gunpowder seems to have really started from 14 million.
—
When Xu Qiao started the battle here, Cheng Lang's Zeppelin was stuck in the long queue of traffic in the city center.
The mobile phones of all the guests present at the auction were required to be set to silent mode, neither Xu Qiao nor Cheng Ye could be contacted for the time being.
Family ugliness should not be publicized, one is his cousin, and the other is his cousin's ex-girlfriend and his scandal partner. Cheng Lang didn't want to show off and took them away directly, so as not to cause trouble when nothing happened, so he asked Gao Rui to call the auctioneer He said hello, and simply explained that if there is any trouble at the auction, he must call to notify as soon as possible.
But the auction side has been quiet.
For a time, Gao Rui felt that maybe he had a high opinion of Cheng Ye, until Wen Yue's call came in.
When he answered the phone, Gao Rui didn't know who the other party was, so he realized after hearing her self-reported name: "Ah, it's Miss Wen, I'm sorry."
"It's okay, I was the one who made the contact abruptly, because I don't have Cheng Lang's mobile phone number, I only got your number."
"You always have something to do with Xiao Cheng?" Gao Rui glanced at the rearview mirror.
Cheng Lang gestured for him to turn on the speaker.
Wen Yue's joyful voice came out of the receiver: "Yes, I want to thank him for taking a picture of that bracelet for me tonight, if it's convenient..."
Cheng Lang frowned.
Gao Rui ignored the etiquette and interrupted: "Sorry, Miss Wen, which bracelet are you talking about? Mr. Cheng didn't participate in any auction tonight."
Wen Yue seemed to be stagnant: "At Li Pai's jewelry auction, Mr. Cheng's people said that Cheng Lang told him to take the sapphire bracelet and give it to me."
Cheng Lang's face turned cold.
Gao Rui was startled: "Miss Wen, this is a misunderstanding. President Xiao Cheng has never heard of the existence of sapphire bracelets, let alone you are in Li Pai tonight."
There was silence on the phone.
Cheng Lang waved his hand, signaling him to hang up as soon as possible.
Gao Rui had no choice but to give up pity and cherish jade: "Miss Wen, Mr. Cheng is a little busy here, I will call you back later."
After the phone was cut off, Cheng Lang pointed to the phone and said, "Get a room in Li Pai, lock that kid up, and let him wait. Contact the auctioneer and find out what happened."
Gao Rui hurriedly followed suit. As soon as the matter of the bracelet was mentioned, the person in charge of the auction said cheerfully: "Mr. Cheng's assistant has already handed over the bracelet to Miss Wen on behalf of Mr. Cheng. Please rest assured Mr. Cheng."
From this point of view, Cheng Ye not only fooled Wen Yue, but also deceived the auctioneer.
It just so happened that Cheng Lang had contacted the auctioneer before, and he seemed to be very concerned about tonight's auction. It was no wonder that the auctioneer mistakenly thought that he was concerned about a certain item.
Gao Rui covered his forehead in embarrassment: "I want to confirm, besides Young Master Cheng, who participated in the bracelet bidding?"
Probably because of the anonymity rules, the person in charge hesitated for a moment.
"Maybe there are Miss Wen Yuewen and Miss Xu Qiao and Miss Xu?" Gao Rui asked.
"Yes, that's right." The other side backed down.
Gao Rui noticed Cheng Lang's irritable face from the rearview mirror, and quickly asked, "May I ask if Miss Xu knows who took the picture of this bracelet and the final owner of this bracelet?"
"This... Ms. Xu came to inquire before leaving the hotel. Originally, she couldn't talk about it according to the principle, but..."
With Xu Qiao's temper, if you want to ask something, even if you are dumb, you have to ask. The auctioneer can tell everything because of the compromise to Cheng Lang, and of course it can also talk endlessly to Xu Qiao because of the compromise.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Ye's "Primary School Chicken Jedi Strikes Back" is quite disturbing.
In Gao Rui's mind, it seemed that Xu Qiao was so angry that his seven orifices were filled with smoke and exploded into a hedgehog.
After hanging up the phone, he looked back at the back seat with a look of desperation on his face: "Mr. Cheng..."
Cheng Lang closed his eyes and pressed his eyebrows: "Hurry up and find someone."
—
While Gao Rui continued to call Xu Qiao, he ordered the driver to drive to the Audreyden Hotel.
As a result, the call was not connected, and Audreyden also said that Xu Qiao had checked out of the room this morning.
Seeing that Cheng Lang's face became more and more ugly, Gao Rui was so anxious that he was spreading cakes on a hot pot. He contacted Xu Kangrong and then Yan Lizhen, and finally got the answer from Zhu Li - Xu Qiaoqi got drunk at Yujinfang Yes, I opened a box with her to drink.
Gao Rui immediately turned on the speakerphone so that Cheng Lang in the back seat could hear what was going on there, and explained: "Miss Zhu, can you hand over the phone to Miss Xu, please? Xiao Cheng always has something to say to her."
"Ah..." Zhu Li wondered, "I don't know if she can understand human speech now..."
Gao Rui was taken aback: "What do you mean?"
"She drank too much."
Tossing and going around in the middle of the night, and going around half of the North City, Cheng Lang's patience has been completely exhausted here, and he took the phone from Gao Rui's hand: "Give her the phone."
"All right."
There was a rustling sound over there, and an impatient murmur: "Who is it?"
"Stop drinking, your dog man is here to coax you."
With such a misunderstanding tonight, it might not be an exaggeration to call him a "dog man".
Cheng Lang took a deep breath to keep calm.
Just when I had adjusted my mood, a crackling and brilliant speech poured out of the receiver like spilled oil, salt, sauce and vinegar: "Who wants him to coax you! If I hadn't been poor and my dad forced me to marry into a wealthy family, I would have Do you fancy that kind of dog man who has nothing but money?"
"...?"
