Chapter 589: meet the elders
Chapter 589: meet the elders
?? It's just not the same as the luxurious and grand auction as imagined. When the car stopped at the entrance of the auction and looked at the slightly quaint old house, Murong Qiao raised his eyebrows.
??Murong Chen got out of the car first, and then picked up Murong Qiao.
?? "The Shen family has joined the army for generations, so they don't like extravagance." Murong Chen whispered to Murong Qiao.
??Grandfathers came here as soldiers for generations, and Mr. Shen, who is holding the auction now, had to go back to the rear because he was too old and unable to hold on.
?? After Murong Chen finished speaking, he led Murong Qiao in, and happened to meet the protagonist who was just mentioned.
??Mr. Shen, who has been a soldier all his life, has a strong body, and even standing there gives people a sense of arrogance without anger. Standing there in a hale and hearty way, even if his temples are slightly graying, it does not affect his majestic aura around him.
??Mr. Shen was standing at the door talking to another old man. The two seemed to have a close relationship and seemed to be good friends.
?? It's just that the conversation ended when Mr. Shen looked this way and noticed Murong Chen's arrival.
??Murong Qiao felt that there was an extra layer of pressure on her body when the gaze swept over her, and she even straightened her back subconsciously.
??Afterwards, I saw that Mr. Shen had said something to that man, and then walked towards them, with a gentle and beautiful woman beside him.
?? "I didn't expect you to come in person this time." Mr. Shen first talked to Murong Chen.
??The Shen family has existed for a long time, even if it cannot be compared with the wealth of the Murong family or the Huo family, it is quite powerful in the military, which makes people daunting.
??Murong Chen smiled, "I heard that you held this auction in person, and I want to come and visit."
?? "Yeah." A smile appeared on Mr. Shen's rather serious face.
??Probably because the words "not angry and self-worthy" were carved into his bones, so that Murong Qiao felt nervous when he saw such an old man Shen.
??She stood neatly beside Murong Chen, and in the next second, she felt that Mr. Shen's eyes shifted from Murong Chen to her side.
?? "This is the daughter of the Murong family? She is a beautiful child." Old Man Shen sighed.
??He knew Murong Qiao's grandfather and had a good relationship, so that when he looked at Murong Qiao, he really saw traces of her grandfather from this bright and soft face.
??Murong Qiao obediently greeted with a smile on his arm, "Hello."
??She spoke out a little cautiously, probably because the tension in her heart spread to her body, so that the hand holding Murong Chen's arm became a little bit stronger.
?? "Very good." Mr. Shen's smile deepened.
?? It is rare to see such serious elders. Murong Qiao was still thinking about something to talk about, when she saw the woman next to Mr. Shen speak out.
?? "Miss Murong is so pretty." Su Rong sighed, "I am Su Rong, Shen Guo's wife, hello."
??Shen Guo is the son of Mr. Shen, but he is still busy in the army, so he is absent from this auction.
?? So many matters of the auction were handed over to Su Rong to take care of. Although she looks gentle, Su Rong herself is not really gentle. Influenced by the Shen family's military style, she is also a strong woman.
?? "Hello, Mrs. Shen." Murong Qiao replied.
??Su Rong smiled, "You look as old as my daughter, but it's a pity that she's not here at the moment, otherwise you might be able to chat together, after all, girls always have a lot of common topics."
??Su Rong seemed to want to say something more, but there were new guests at the door, and many acquaintances were friends of Mr. Shen, so it was too late, so he had to say sorry.
?? After watching old master Shen and Su Rong walk away, Murong Qiao spoke to his elder brother Murong Chen about the curious question that had just arisen in his heart.
?? "Mrs. Shen's daughter is as old as me?" She looked up at her brother.
Murong Qiao is completely unaware that the Shen family has a daughter. It is one thing for her not to pay attention. On the other hand, she has been to Jiang Weiyang's party a long time ago, and the young people in the circle have vague impressions of herself, but they have never. I have heard of the surname Shen.
?? "Her name is Shen Xi, and it is said that she was not in good health when she was born. She is frail and sickly, and she also suffers from asthma, so she hardly goes out to socialize." Murong Chen explained.
??In a family environment like the Shen family, Shen Xi's frailty and sickness are unavoidably abrupt, but fortunately, both Shen Guo and Su Rong like this daughter very much, and they are not dissatisfied.
??He was able to know these news because he learned little by little from the communication with the Shen family since he was a child.
??Murong Qiao nodded, remembering the information in his heart, and then glanced at the surrounding crowd, trying to find Huo Yichen.
?? There is still some time before the start of the auction, and the guests present at this moment are all gathered in twos and threes, and it seems that the atmosphere of talking and laughing is harmonious.
??Huo Yichen's figure was not seen, but after Mr. Shen left, Murong Qiao saw several people walking towards them.
?? "President Murong, it's been a long time. This is Miss Murong, right? You're really talented." The visitor praised him as soon as he opened his mouth.
??Murong Chen greeted him with a more commercial smile this time, "Mr. Xu."
?? Seeing that it was someone he didn't know coming to greet him, and hearing the two people exchanging greetings, Murong Qiao immediately understood that this was the kind of person who came to talk to his eldest brother about business.
??She had no intention of participating in these, so she talked to her elder brother and planned to take a stroll alone, waiting for Huo Yichen to come by the way.
?? "Then you go shopping alone, and call me if you need something." Murong Chen confessed.
There are a lot of people who came to participate in the auction this time, and since Murong Chen personally came to Murong's house, there must be many people coming to chat about business later, Murong Chen naturally didn't want his sister to wait by his side .
??Murong Qiao responded and walked in a random direction. She caught a glimpse of it when she came here just now. The side door and the small garden outside figured out that it was still a clean place.
?? But when Murong Qiao walked over, he realized that there were quite a few people in the garden.
??Among them, most of them were young people sitting at the round table in the garden, when Murong Qiao looked over, he saw Jiang Weiyang seemed to be there too.
??Looking around, Murong Qiao finally found a remote corner and sat down.
?? "Hi, can I sit here?" she asked the only girl at the table.
??The other party didn't seem to expect her to come back, and after hearing the question, he froze for a while before nodding dully.
??She nervously added, "Damn, of course."
?? "I mean... I'm glad you'll be sitting next to me." There was a slight smile on her face, and her eyes were also bent to reveal a small light.
??Her voice was a bit light and ethereal, to the point where people needed to concentrate to hear clearly, it was a bit too soft.
??Murong Qiao sat down slowly holding the skirt of the dress, and raised her eyebrows in surprise when she heard what the other party said.
??The distance between the two was shortened because Murong Qiao sat down, and it was the same way. Murong Qiao smelled a faint smell of traditional Chinese medicine, which was not pleasant to say the least.
?? Then she looked around and realized that it was best for four or five people to sit together, but she was the only one at this table.
??Seeing that Murong Qiao realized that he was not very popular, the other party showed a wry smile.
