Chapter 117 - Looking for her

The moment the two of them entered the hotel lobby, they saw Su Chen Hao and Huo Xi Wen standing side by side at the elevator in front of them.

Looking at Su Chen Hao’s back figure, Luo Qing Yun subconsciously slowed down her pace, and did not dare to get any closer.

Sensing that she was not following him, Su Qi Ze stopped in his steps, turned his head to look at her, and gently asked: "Do you want to go to the resting area in the hall to take a seat?"

Luo Qing Yun knew that he had discovered her escaping mentality, and at the same time, she understood that as long as she continued to be together with Su Qi Ze, she would have many opportunities to meet Su Chen Hao at many different times.

Did she have to hide every time she saw him?

"No need, I’m fine. Let’s go." Shaking her head, she took a deep breath and continued walking.

The sound of their approaching footsteps soon reached Huo Xi Wen’s ears. She turned around, and when she saw that it was Su Qi Ze and Luo Qing Yun, she lightly pushed Su Chen Hao who was beside her. "Big Brother Chen, Qi Ze and Qingyun are here."

Hearing that, Su Chen Hao turned his head, his cold eyes sweeping past the two people walking over, and when her gaze met with Luo Qing Yun’s, she could clearly feel a flash of light, causing her to look away from him.

"Big brother, what a coincidence, you’re also interested in this auction?" Su Qi Ze walked over to Su Chen Hao’s side and smiled at him.

Su Chen Hao gave a bland laugh, and said with an indifferent tone of voice: "I didn’t know you were interested as well."

Hearing that, Luo Qing Yun’s expression tensed. What he meant was, if he knew they would come, then he wouldn’t come?

Huo Xi Wen felt that the atmosphere was a little cold, seeing that the elevator just happened to arrive, she immediately said: "The elevator is here, let us go up first."

Just as he finished speaking, the elevator door opened. Su Chen Hao took the initiative to lift his leg and step into the elevator.

The rest of the people followed behind him and entered.

The elevator was very large, and the four people standing at the entrance were especially spacious. After Luo Qing Yun walked in, she consciously stood beside Su Qi Ze.

Even though he tried his best to cover it up, Huo Xi Wen still felt the fleeting disappointment in his eyes.

However, she did not have time to care about his feelings, the auction was about to begin, and her small heart was extremely nervous.

The bracelet her grandma had left for her would appear at the auction tonight. If someone recognized it, she really didn’t know how to explain it.

Within the auction hall, the auction was about to begin.

Since their seats had been arranged beforehand, as soon as they entered the venue, a waiter brought them directly to the first row and sat them down.

After Huo Xi Wen sat down, she became apprehensive. However, she suddenly realized that on the chair to her left, next to Su Chen Hao’s, sat a somewhat familiar figure.

Fu Mu Yun?

It was him, how could there be such a coincidence?

He was actually here as well.

What if he found out about her?

She turned her head to the right, facing Luo Qing Yun, pretending to chat with her. However, her eyes were still looking in her direction, trying to see if she had discovered her.

The auction officially began.

The first item to be auctioned were a few antique calligraphies and paintings. The rich people spent a huge amount of money to buy their own hearts.

However, Fu Mu Yun did not make a move, and the atmosphere of the auction suddenly became warm.

Su Chen Hao also sat steadily on the chair and did not raise his hand.

After the eighth antique auction, the auctioneer began to introduce the ninth item to be auctioned.

The ceremonial lady carried a transparent glass box and placed a transparent jade bracelet inside.

From afar, one could see that this jade bracelet was very valuable.

The auctioneer’s sonorous and powerful voice came out from the voice box, "Everyone, the starting price for this jade bracelet is 1 million, and each time you bid 100,000, please bid."

With that said, Su Qi Ze raised the plate in his hand.

"One million and one hundred thousand. A gentleman in the front row has already made his bid."

Huo Xi Wen did not expect Su Qi Ze, who had been sitting steadily and not moving, to be interested in his bracelet. He was very surprised in his heart.

When she took another look at Luo Qing Yun, she discovered that Luo Qing Yun had her head lowered. It was unknown what she was thinking, and it was obvious that her thoughts were not on the auction.

Originally, he thought that Luo Qing Yun knew that the bracelet was hers, so he asked Su Qi Ze to bid and help her raise the price to ten million.

However, from the looks of it now, this was not the case.

Luo Qing Yun did not know that the bracelet was hers.

Then why did Su Qi Ze want to buy his bracelet?

Following that, more and more people started to bid, and the price of the jade bracelet instantly skyrocketed to two million.

Seeing that the price was close enough, Fu Mu Yun raised her hand: "3 million."

As soon as his voice fell, strange sounds were heard from all around.

"So Fu Mu Yun came for this bracelet."

"Forget it, although this bracelet is good, if Fu Mu Yun wants it, she can have it. We will definitely not be able to beat him."

Hearing the discussions around him, Huo Xi Wen’s heart shivered.

What was going on?

Why was it him who wanted this bracelet?

If at this rate, no one dared to bid anymore, then how would she be able to collect her ten million?

Just as everyone was discussing and no one was continuing to bid, Su Chen Hao, who was beside them, raised the signboard in his hand. "Three million one hundred thousand."

When this voice rang out, everyone cried out in alarm at the same time.

What day is it today?

First, it was the second young master of the Su Family, followed by Fu Mu Yun. Now, even the first young master of the Su Family, Su Chen Hao, had come in.

Did this bracelet have some sort of special history?

They were really curious.

What was even more curious was Huo Xi Wen, who was sitting beside Su Chen Hao, was actually so depressed that she wanted to cry. She didn’t know what was going on today, why was everyone interested in her bracelet?

She just wanted to sell it for ten million to save him. Afterwards, she would think of a way to redeem the bracelet.

But if this bracelet fell into the hands of Su Chen Hao, Fu Mu Yun, or any of the three people, things would become very troublesome.

When Fu Mu Yun heard Su Chen Hao raising the plate, his brows slightly creased, and he turned to look at him.

The assistant sitting on his left immediately looked at Su Chen Hao and reported to him: "Young Master, it’s Suqian ..."

Fu Mu Yun’s expression did not change much. She indifferently looked at the auctioneer on the stage and slightly raised her hand.

"Mr. Fu bids three million and two hundred thousand. "Three million two hundred thousand going once, three million and two hundred thousand going twice ..."

"Three million three hundred thousand." The auctioneer’s voice was interrupted by Su Qi Ze.

Hearing that, the assistant was about to raise his hand and continue bidding, but was stopped by Fu Mu Yun: "No need."

With a calm expression, he stood up. Without any hesitation, he turned around and walked towards the main entrance.

The assistant immediately followed after him.

Seeing Fu Mu Yun stand up, Huo Xi Wen secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

His palms had originally been covered in sweat due to his nervousness, but now, they felt sticky.

"Big Brother Chen, I need to go to the washroom." She whispered into Su Chen Hao’s ear, then stood up from her seat and turned around to go to the bathroom outside the venue.

When she came out from the bathroom to wash her hands, and was about to return to the venue, she suddenly realised that Fu Mu Yun had also come to the bathroom at some point in time, and the two of them bumped into each other at the door.

When Zhao Lingxi saw Fu Mu Yun, she was immediately scared pale.

The two of them sat so close to each other that he didn’t even see himself.

I really don’t know what kind of ill karma it is.

Huo Xi Wen looked like she wanted to pretend not to know him and leave his side.

But just as he raised his foot, he heard a low voice come from his side, "Miss Huo, long time no see."

Huo Xi Wen’s mouth secretly twitched. She hadn’t seen her for a long time, it was obvious that she had only seen her yesterday.

"Mr. Fu, what a coincidence, I didn’t expect you to be here too." Huo Xi Wen’s face revealed a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Unfortunately, I came here specifically to look for the Miss Huo." Fu Mu Yun looked at her expressionlessly.

What?

To find her?

In other words, he had long since discovered her at the meeting place.

So after pretending for a long time, she couldn’t avoid his eyes at all?

"However, there is one thing that surprises me. The Miss Huo is actually the Mr. Su’s wife. I remember yesterday when we met, I heard from Ye Zi Quan that you are his girlfriend. " Fu Mu Yun looked at her from top to bottom with a playful expression.

When Huo Xi Wen heard him say this, she knew in her heart that it was not good.

If the matter between her and Ye Zi Quan were to be leaked by him, then the whole world would definitely fall into chaos.

Although Ye Zi Quan was a chess piece for her to get him to divorce her, he had invited him to act like his boyfriend.

However, she had never had any plans to make Ye Zi Quan’s plans public. Her plan was for Su Chen Hao to know of Ye Zi Quan’s existence, and felt that he was a man that she could entrust the matter to. The two of them would then divorce in secret, without alerting anyone, allowing him to go and chase Luo Qing Yun back without worrying about anything else.

But now that Fu Mu Yun found out that she was Su Chen Hao’s wife, the situation became even more complicated.

"Whose wife am I, and whose girlfriend am I? This doesn’t seem to have anything to do with Mr. Fu. Didn’t the Mr. Fu want money? Don’t worry, after today, I will return the money to you. A person like the Mr. Fu should know what privacy is, and will not talk nonsense with others, right? " Huo Xi Wen said as she looked at Fu Mu Yun with clear and cold eyes, pretending to be calm.

"Someone like me? What kind of person do Miss Huo think I am? " Fu Mu Yun smiled when she heard her.

"He has status, status, knowledge, and self-restraint ..." Huo Xi Wen almost wanted to use all the praise on him to flatter him.

In the end, before she could finish speaking, the assistant behind Fu Mu Yun could not help but laugh.

Hearing the laughter, Fu Mu Yun frowned and turned to look at the assistant. The assistant was so scared that he immediately stopped smiling and stood there earnestly.

"I never thought that Miss Huo’s flattery skills are not bad." Fu Mu Yun retracted the smile on his face, lowered his eyes and looked at her, "However, you should know that this is of no use to me."

"..." Useless? This meant that if he wanted to speak nonsense to others, he would be spouting nonsense?
