Make sure to express your intentions clearly without hurting the little girl's dignity.
But obviously, he still underestimated Jiang Nuantang.
After so many years, without Jiang Hengyun's protection, she had already grown to be strong enough through the grinding of reality.
How could I be so upset over such a sentence?
The expected outburst did not happen. She knew that the old man was being cautious and wanted to protect her poor self-esteem.
Jiang Nuantang smiled and said generously:
"No."
It is clear that simple refusal cannot convince Xi Maoxun.
Jiang Nuantang paused and continued to explain:
"Since my birth was not in their expectation, there is no need to disturb each other now. After all... my father Jiang Hengyun is the only family member who has been with me since I was a child!"
Jiang Nuantang said it openly and without any trace of sadness or reluctance.
Xi Maoxun's next words were all stuck in his throat.
After staring at her for a long time, he finally stopped insisting and said in a deep voice:
"In that case, I'll just follow you for now. When you change your mind someday, remember to come to me!"
The implication is that he has clues that can lead to her parents.
pity--
She probably won't need it anymore.
After all, growing up, her parents, in her eyes, were just synonyms for giving her life.
It left her with no desire to explore.
It's better to separate one from the other and live in peace.
…
After a short negotiation, Xi Maoxun and Jiang Nuantang returned to the banquet hall.
Just as the party was about to start, the two people's seats were arranged together.
but--
What is Xi Maoxun’s identity?
Not to mention his age, he also has equal reputation in the industry.
The people who sit at the same table with him are all powerful people from major families like Bo Yuqing and Shao Zhanlin.
Jiang Nuantang suddenly appeared, like a child sneaking into an adult's clothes.
No matter how you look at it, it’s so abrupt.
Many people who couldn't help but be curious frequently looked at me.
Secretly asking who is the person brought by Mr. Xi?
Jiang Nuantang naturally received their attention and took it calmly, not caring at all.
He only cast his eyes on the beautiful host on the stage, and no one else looked at him.
"Love knows no bounds, and love warms the world. Thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend the charity party held by e-home collection. Now, we will display the first auction item tonight - the traditional Chinese painting "Ink Lotus".
The painting is by…”
With the beautiful host's eloquent introduction, tonight's charity party officially began.
The e-home collection operated by Yujia exhibits works or treasure collections.
Then let the people attending the party raise their placards to bid.
All proceeds from the auction will be donated to the foundation.
Such a big deal is bound to cause a social sensation.
This is one of the reasons why countless upper-class celebrities flock to this charity gala.
In addition, the auction items on display at e-home, whether they are personal paintings or treasure collections, are all top-notch or unique items with great collection value.
Therefore, all the celebrities who came to the banquet were very enthusiastic and did not hesitate to spend a lot of money on their favorite things.
I also want to welcome him home.
The party had just begun, and already more than half of the people had raised signs.
And prices are still increasing.
Jiang Nuantang has been sitting steadily in his position.
Xi Maoxun, who also did not hold up a placard, glanced sideways at the quiet little girl and said clearly:
"No one you like?"
"Um."
Jiang Nuantang nodded lightly. Maybe she had seen too many rare treasures since she was a child. When she saw these competing items being auctioned by others, she didn't feel too excited.
After all, she is the daughter that Jiang Hengyun spent most of his family wealth on to raise her.
Xi Maoxun did not doubt that Jiang Nuantang really disliked him.
Seeing that she was really not interested and not in a hurry, she smiled and said:
"Then take another look. If you like it, Grandpa Xi will take a photo and give it to you."
Xi Maoxun generously agreed.
It’s not that Jiang Nuantang can’t afford it.
Can have the strength to compete with Hengyuan Group.
He firmly believed that Jiang Nuantang's financial and material resources should not be underestimated.
This is just out of an elder's love for the younger generation.
Jiang Nuantang also knew Xi Maoxun's thoughts, nodded, and did not refuse his kindness.
The two of them turned their attention to the booth again.
The next second, all eyes were invariably attracted to the drop-shaped sapphire necklace in the glass cabinet.
"The next auction is - the Duke of Windsor's sapphire necklace. The starting price is 120 million..."
As the host finished speaking, this drop-shaped sapphire necklace undoubtedly became the biggest highlight of the evening.
One hundred and twenty million!
The starting price alone is upwards of 100 million units.
The high price also sets the threshold in an instant, deterring many people who are interested in stunning necklaces.
I don't even have the courage to increase the price.
Jiang Nuantang lightly curled her eyelashes and looked at the competing products all night.
Only this necklace suits her best.
Since we are destined, taking photos is also a good choice.
The hand holding the sign moved slightly. Jiang Nuantang was about to increase the bid, not wanting anyone to be faster than her:
