The two of them sat down. Yu Shu sat next to Lu Qingqiao, and a man sat beside her.

The man was handsome and had long hair tied behind his head. His lonesome eyes were like the gloomy weather, and he was a man of art.

Ji Xiuqi was an artist, and his family flourished with painting as well. They were a family of artists. His art connections expanded through it, and he became very well-known.

About two years ago, Yu Shu picked him up from the streets like a beggar and got together with him. She only found out his identity later.

Ji Xiuqi didn’t like to talk, so he only nodded at Lu Qingqiao as a greeting.

Yu Shu, on the other hand, was different. She would suffocate if she were not allowed to speak. Yu Shu sat down, talked incessantly to Lu Qingqiao, and even brought Qin Xun along. She was just short of asking about his eighteen generations of ancestors.

Lu Xueru and Si Jingsen came over together. When they saw Lu Qingqiao and Qin Xun seated already, they went over to greet them. Lu Qingqiao replied with the usual expression.

Yu Shu turned her head away and continued to talk to Ji Xiuqi while ignoring them.

Ji Xiuqi rarely paid attention to such gossip and only nodded as a greeting as usual.

After the two returned to their seats, Yu Shu snorted and ranted at Ji Xiuqi. Ji Xiuqi nodded indifferently but didn’t say anything.

Seeing Yu Shu’s enthusiasm and Ji Xiuqi’s coldness, Lu Qingqiao was reminded of Yu Shu’s situation after she married Ji Xiuqi in her previous life.

Yu Shu was supposed to be a proud phoenix, but she was trapped by a cage called Ji Xiuqi. Her light faded, and she was secretly sad.

Ji Xiuqi didn’t truly love Yu Shu. He was only with her because of her background.

However, Yu Shu liked him so much that she didn’t care. She thought that her heart could warm up a stone, but the stone was still cold in the end.

“Lu Qingqiao, what would you like to drink?” Qin Xun tugged at Lu Qingqiao’s sleeve and asked.

“Ice Americano.” Lu Qingqiao collected her thoughts and opened her tablet to browse the items on auction.

She had some doubts about this auction. In her previous life, an item was appraised at this auction. Si Jingsen had once asked her some questions about it, but she didn’t notice anything amiss.

Si Jingsen wouldn’t have asked her such a question for no reason.

So this time, she had to bid for that thing and investigate it.

In addition, she had another item to bid for in this auction.

Qin Xun turned his head and saw that Lu Qingqiao’s tablet had a pipa. The instrument looked old and worn. The head of the instrument was dark red with the character ‘Ting’ engraved on it. It was the name of the instrument’s owner.

The back of the instrument was made of red sandalwood, and the shaft was made of ivory…

It was made of top-quality materials. It was well-maintained, so it was still relatively well-preserved even after decades.

Qin Xun looked at the picture and then at the words sent by Jiang Tingyun on his phone.

“Do you want to bid for this?” he asked Lu Qingqiao.

“Yes,” she nodded.

Then, he sent a message to Jiang Tingyun. [You should focus on something else.]

Jiang Tingyun sent a big question mark.

Qin Xun asked him what he wanted, and then told him not to do it?

This was a mission given to him by Old Madam. How could he not do it? Did Qin Xun want him to get beaten up?

Qin Xun sent him an emoji of a violent dragon spewing fire.

Jiang Tingyun, who felt threatened, was speechless.

[Okay, Lord. I understand.]

He would think of a reason to explain to Old Madam.

Qin Xun replied.

[I don’t want others to know about my situation.]

Jiang Tingyun replied. [Yes, Lord.]

He wouldn’t tell anyone that this grandfather was being pampered like an obedient baby by CEO Lu and that he was still enjoying it.
