Chapter 1206: The body is upright and not afraid of slanting shadows
"Princess Diana?!"
When Su Shoude thought of the bizarre fate of this legendary princess, his expression was horrified. He instantly understood what his father meant and exclaimed: "Dad, you...are you kidding me?"
Su Chengfeng said with a stern expression: "This is about the face of the Su family, and there is no room for jokes. No matter what, I can't let the face of the Su family be ruined in the hands of a woman with a foreign surname!"
Speaking of this, Su Chengfeng gritted his teeth and said in a cold voice: "Although the Su family is not a European royal family, the importance of our face is no less important than that of those royal nobles in Europe! If anyone dares to insult the face of the Su family, don't blame me for being ruthless! For
I can do anything to defend the face of the Su family!"
Su Shoude nodded slightly.
He knew that no matter whether they were the royal family, the nobility, or the top big families, face was almost more important to them than anything else.
His father is now taking a step back and moving the auction to an offline event. This is tantamount to asking Du Haiqing to think carefully. If she dares to participate in the auction directly without any scruples, then don't blame the Su family for being ruthless!
Sometimes, you just have to force the other party to make a bigger decision.
It's like a confrontation between two people. One of them can't bear the pain for the moment and kills, but is unwilling to let the other go. They will often do the opposite and directly hand the other a knife.
If the other party really doesn't know how to lift up and picks up the knife, it will be equivalent to helping him make the final decision.
Su Chengfeng wanted to move the auction from online to offline for this purpose.
...
The Du family's old housekeeper in Jinling soon received the news that the auction would be changed to an offline auction, and hurriedly reported the situation to Du Haiqing.
Du Haiqing asked in surprise: "Didn't you say that similar auctions have been put online in the past two years? Why have they been moved back online this time?"
The old housekeeper shook his head and said, "Second Miss, I don't know much about this either. I asked around and it seems that offline public auctions are more transparent."
Du Haiqing didn't think much about it. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's just go offline. Has the time and place been decided?"
"It's settled!" the old butler said hurriedly: "Monday at 10 o'clock in the morning, in the auction hall of Zhenbao Pavilion!"
"Jinbao Pavilion?" Du Haiqing asked curiously: "What is the background of this Zhenbao Pavilion?"
The old housekeeper introduced: "This Zhenbao Pavilion is a cooperative club under our Jinling City Art and Play Association. It mainly sells various antiques and organizes and undertakes various auctions. The boss is called Bao Fugui."
Du Haiqing nodded and said: "In that case, let's go directly to the Zhenbao Pavilion to participate in the auction on Monday morning."
The old housekeeper hurriedly said: "Second Miss, in my opinion, you'd better not attend."
Du Haiqing asked in surprise: "Why?"
The old housekeeper coughed twice in embarrassment and explained: "Ahem...Second Miss, your coming to Jinling has already caused a stir in Yanjing. If you still want to attend this auction in person,
, it will definitely cause greater controversy..."
Du Haiqing smiled calmly and said seriously: "The so-called controversy is nothing more than that Su Shoudao and I have not divorced yet. Although I have not divorced him, I have been married to him for more than 20 years and have never been close to any other man.
, even if there is no verbal ambiguity, but on the other hand, Su Shoudao, he keeps saying he loves me, but he still has an illegitimate daughter outside long ago. Why is his behavior allowed, and my behavior will trigger
A bigger controversy?”
The old housekeeper said helplessly: "Second Miss, although today's society has long emphasized equality between men and women, there are naturally differences between men and women in some things. In the moral concepts of the upper class, there is always a higher priority for men to be philandering.
Tolerance, many first wives even turn a blind eye to this, which is not surprising to the public."
As he spoke, he continued: "Do you remember that there was a relatively famous director who was not clear with others, and his wife not only was not angry, but openly said that her man took advantage of her? But on the other hand, if a woman is a philanderer,
You will be scolded to death in front of public opinion!"
Du Haiqing smiled slightly and said: "Uncle Wang, you are worrying too much. I just want to buy the house where Chang Ying lived. This is also my personal memory of him deep in my heart. Other than that, I don't want to
There will be no scandals with other men, let alone any actual relationships with other men. If the outside world can't even tolerate this, then I don't need their tolerance."
The old housekeeper said anxiously: "Second Miss, that's not what I meant... I mean, it's absolutely fine for you to want to buy this house, but the current situation is a bit special after all..."
"You and Su Shoudao haven't divorced yet, so I don't think there is any need for you to attend this auction in person..."
"How about I help you find a third party who has nothing to do with your vacation and let him take the photos of this house on your behalf..."
"After we get back from the auction, we are not in a hurry to transfer the property for the time being. Wait until this crisis has passed, or after you and Su Shoudao get divorced, and then you can transfer the property to your name. This will not make you any less angry."
Du Haiqing waved his hand and said seriously: "Uncle Wang, there is nothing wrong with me missing Chang Ying, so I am not afraid of slanted shadows even if I am upright."
"However, if I am not wrong, but because I am afraid of being criticized, I secretly find someone else to help me attend the auction. Once word gets out, others will think that I have a guilty conscience."
The old housekeeper sighed sadly: "Second Miss! There is something I want to say that I shouldn't say, but I have to say it! The Su family has always been very violent in doing things. You have also seen what happened some time ago. They even
Being able to sell your flesh and blood proves that this family has almost no moral integrity at all. If you insist on participating in this auction, you will definitely offend them..."
Du Haiqing frowned slightly and said in confusion: "I just can't understand that Su Shoudao went behind my back to raise my illegitimate daughter for 20 years, and openly brought her illegitimate daughter to live under my nose for several years.
,How come no one thinks that the Su family will offend me?"
The old housekeeper hurriedly said: "Second Miss... many things are not as we imagined... In the upper class society, there is indeed a big difference between men and women. You can't be aware of this either.
Ignored..."
Du Haiqing smiled slightly: "Uncle Wang, there is no need to persuade me. I have made up my mind. If you don't help me arrange it, I will arrange it myself. In short, I must go to this auction, and I must go generously!
"
The old housekeeper hesitated for a long time before finally sighing helplessly: "Okay, Second Miss, I will make arrangements right away..."
...
At the same time, Tomson first-class villa.
Ye Chen also received a call from Chen Zekai.
Chen Zekai said on the phone: "Master, Monday's auction will be held offline."
"Oh?" Ye Chen asked in surprise: "Why was it changed to offline?"
Chen Zekai said: "I made inquiries in many places, and even asked informants from Yanjing to help with the investigation. The information fed back seems to be the Su family's mediation."
"Su family?!" Ye Chen couldn't help but frowned: "Why did the Su family interfere in this auction?"
"I don't know about this..." Chen Zekai said truthfully: "I haven't found out the Su family's motives yet, but young master, you should try to keep a low profile."
Saying that, Chen Zekai hurriedly added: "The main reason is that this house is too sensitive. It is the old house where your parents lived. Once anyone comes to fight for this house, it will prove that they have a certain relationship with your parents.
I'm afraid that the Su family will find out about you through this. Once the Su family finds out about you, I don't know what they can do to you, but your identity will certainly not be hidden..."
Ye Chen said in agreement: "You are right, where will the auction take place on Monday specifically?"
Chen Zekai said: "The treasure pavilion in Baofugui is where you and the so-called master of metaphysics in Hong Kong bid for the Tridacna in Jinghai."
Ye Chen suddenly understood and said: "I understand, let's do this. I remember that Zhenbao Pavilion has a VIP box. You asked Bao Fugui to prepare one for me. When the time comes, ask your driver to go to the site to help me participate in the auction. I will be in the box.
