Chapter 83 Auction (3)
"What a coincidence." Zhou Mian said with a half-smile, "But why is grandpa's tea bowl here?"
"Dowry!" Lou Huan suddenly said, not only frightening others, but also himself.
But she was so excited that before Assistant Yu gave her the details of the 800 million dowry, she actually found one by herself.
This pair of priceless tea bowls must be one of the dowries.
Lou Huan's eyes sparkled and he murmured: "A dowry of eight hundred million."
The venue had been very quiet, and her murmur fell into the ears of people nearby.
Yu Jingxing overheard something and said seriously: "Grandma said she gave the tea bowl to my aunt as a dowry and brought it to the Xiao family. But when it comes to the dowry, it's not just 800 million, but one billion."
"So these tea bowls are actually my aunt's dowry?" Zhou Mian smiled playfully and looked at Xiao Beibei, "What did Miss Xiao say?"
The smile on Xiao Beibei's face had frozen.
Yes, the pair of tea bowls were indeed Yu Man's dowry, but her father had given them to her mother, and her mother had left them to her.
Facing everyone's eyes that looked at her like they were watching a show, Xiao Beibei wanted to leave immediately.
But if I run out now, it will only prove that the tea bowl belongs to the Yu family.
Xiao Beibei gritted her teeth and took a while to calm down. She said with a smile: "I think it's a coincidence. This is my mother's dowry. She left it to me after she left."
Regardless of Xiao Beibei's ability to confuse right and wrong, Lou Huan still admires her calmness. She can still smile in the face of everyone's questioning looks.
But no matter what I admire, it can't compare to 800 million.
No, it’s one billion!
"He lied to me." Lou Huan pursed his lips, but he was not angry at all. It was like an insignificant complaint.
"Who?" Qin Le came over and asked.
"ceiling."
"What did he lie to you about?"
Lou Huan whispered into her ear about the 800 million dowry. Qin Le was surprised, "Really? The ceiling is so generous?"
Lou Huan nodded.
"If you did it, would he really give you half of it?" Qin Le still expressed doubts.
"There is a witness, and we even gave him a high-five. He can't lie."
"Does that mean I'll give you half so that all your family's debts can be paid off?" Seeing Lou Huan nodding again, Qin Le immediately patted his chest and said, "Okay, I can't give you so much money, but I can help you.
I can still afford the money."
Finally, Qin Le turned to Xiao Beibei and said, "It turns out that Miss Xiao's maternal grandfather's family was so rich that they could afford such an expensive dowry more than 20 years ago."
After saying that, she poked Qin Shi'an's arm and asked in a low voice: "Brother, what is the surname of Xiao Beibei's maternal grandfather? Is he rich?"
Lou Huan & Lou Yue: "..."
Hearing her mocking her so naturally, I thought she knew.
Qin Shi'an had long been accustomed to his sister's temperament, so he just smiled and tilted his head and replied: "My surname is Jiang, and I was considered a wealthy family twenty or thirty years ago. Otherwise, Xiao Beibei's mother would not have known Xiao Beibei's father, but Jiang
The family has been in decline for more than ten years."
"Is it also bankrupt?" Lou Huan tilted his head and asked.
"..." Qin Shi'an couldn't laugh or cry for a moment.
"It's different from your family." Qin Shi'an explained to them.
The Jiang family has always been sparsely populated, and they only gave birth to daughters. In that era, women in business had to face a lot of pressure, and the family was reluctant to let go. Mr. Jiang has always been the supporter.
Mr. Jiang was exhausted physically and mentally and suffered from various illnesses, and sometimes he had no time to care.
However, technology was developing faster and faster, and the Jiang family did not have a young mind, so they did not seize the opportunity.
By the time Mr. Jiang thought of hiring professional managers to manage the company, Jiang could no longer keep up with the times.
Therefore, as more and more emerging companies emerge and gradually surpass the Jiang family, the Jiang family will naturally decline.
Although the Jiang family has almost fallen to the bottom of the upper class, they are still in this circle after all.
Qin Shi'an had just finished explaining when another voice immediately penetrated their ears.
"Of course not." It was a man wearing a purple suit.
Lou Huan took a look and found that he looked pretty good, but compared to the ceiling, his appearance was average.
Everyone's eyes turned to the man who spoke.
The man said calmly: "Twenty or thirty years ago, although the Jiang family had money, they could not afford such valuable things."
"Who are you? Why do you say that about the Jiang family?" The anger hidden in Xiao Beibei's heart did not dare to be directed at Mr. Zhou and Master Yu, but it could be directed at a person she did not know.
In the upper class society, the rich young ladies and rich young men she didn't know were because their family status was too low.
The man looked at her and said, "My surname is Jiang."
Lou Huan guessed, "Could it be someone from Xiao Beibei's maternal grandfather's family?"
"Based on your mouth, it definitely is!" Qin Le looked excited.
Master Jiang continued: "It's normal that Miss Xiao doesn't know me. Aunt Jiang Li got pregnant out of wedlock and was kicked out of the house by my grandfather."
In those days, if you got pregnant before marriage and ruined other people's marriages, you would be imprisoned in a pig cage.
Being kicked out of the house is considered a minor offense.
Lou Huan was stunned: "...it's really the Jiang family, but doesn't the Jiang family have no men?"
Qin Shi'an said: "Young Master Jiang was adopted by Mr. Jiang from a side branch. He has always been raised by his side. I hope he can inherit the Jiang family business in the future."
"Brother Shi An, how come you know everything?" Lou Huan blinked his eyes like stars, "You are so amazing."
"That's right!" Qin Le echoed proudly, "My brother is omnipotent and knows everything."
Qin Shi'an looked at the two of them admiring each other and smiled fondly.
"Later, Aunt Jiang Li married into the Xiao family, and grandpa didn't allow us to associate with Aunt Jiang Li, so you don't know me, but our Jiang family still knows Miss Xiao's name." Young Master Jiang's words directly exposed Xiao Bei.
Bay's lies.
Xiao Beibei's mother was kicked out of the Jiang family. Where did she get the dowry?
If she said it was a dowry left to her by her mother, there would be some credibility.
Xiao Beibei's face was sore from the invisible slap.
She never expected that one day she would be tricked by the Jiang family, and everyone would be watching her laugh, and no one would help her.
If in the past, when her father had not had any accidents, who would not have cared for her with care and concern? Now, when her father has been in trouble, some people would avoid her like a snake or a scorpion, and some would ridicule her openly and secretly.
Xiao Beibei's eyes turned red and she said aggrievedly: "I don't know, it was my mother who said it was her dowry."
For the sake of her own face, she had no choice but to put all the blame on her deceased mother.
It seems like everyone has nothing to say now.
After it was confirmed that it belonged to the Yu family, the tea bowl finally ended up in Yu Jingxing's hands. Xiao Beibei lost all her belongings and was even humiliated.
As soon as the auction ended, he excused himself from participating in subsequent activities due to physical discomfort and left first.
After this incident, both Xiao Beibei and Lou Huan became the talk of others.
But when it comes to Xiao Beibei, it's ridicule, and when it comes to Lou Huan, it's jealousy.
"Isn't it just an origami frog? Mr. Zhou is chasing after it so hard. I will learn it later. How difficult can it be for such a small thing?"
"I remember Miss Zhang knows how to do it. If Miss Zhang doesn't mind, just teach her."
Zhang Yan didn't have a close relationship with them, but she just taught them how to make origami frogs, so she didn't hesitate.
She asked the waiter for a piece of paper and started folding it in front of them.
This scene happened to fall in Xiao Sheng's eyes.
