My Dangerous Billionaire Husband Chapter 1152 - The Auction

Chapter 1152: The Auction

When she heard that the person in front of her was Ye Xiaotao, Xue Wu immediately smiled sweetly. She went forward and held Ye Xiaotao’s slender arm, “h.e.l.lo, h.e.l.lo. Are You Xiaotao? Wow, you’re really as beautiful as what they say. You’re so awesome too. You actually have your own personal art exhibition.”

Ye Xiaotao wasn’t used to a stranger being so intimate with her but since she was Auntie Miao’s younger cousin, so she didn’t pull her arm back. “Xue Wu, nice to meet you.”

“Xue Wu, come here. Don’t pester Xiaotao.” Auntie Miao pulled Xue Wu back and looked at Ye Xiaotao in embarra.s.sment, “Xue Wu just graduated and she doesn’t have a job right now. Her parents asked me to find a job for her so I asked master to give her an idle job in the company.”

“That’s what we should do. Auntie Miao, you can just discuss it with daddy.” Ye Xiaotao smiled.

Auntie Miao relaxed.

“Xiaotao, what are you going to do after the art exhibition? Let’s go shopping together. I…” Xue Wu said enthusiastically.

“Xiaotao, I have something to discuss with you.” Her a.s.sistant, Xiao Ai, spoke up at this moment.

“Oh,” Xue Wu said. “Xiaotao, let’s find a time another day.”

Ye Xiaotao nodded and bid farewell to Auntie Miao. Then, she left with her a.s.sistant, Xiao Ai.

As soon as she left, Xiao Ai said unhappily, “It’s obvious that this Xue Wu is an insensible person. Look at how she’s trying her best to please you. She’s so obsequious!”

“Xiao Ai, don’t speak like this,” Ye Xiaotao interrupted her, “Xue Wu is Auntie Miao’s younger cousin. Auntie Miao didn’t want anything from my daddy when she married him, let alone have children. She’s is a good woman. Xue Wu came to seek shelter with Auntie Miao. With my family’s conditions, it’s only right for Xue Wu to take some advantage of us.”

Xiao Ai sighed. “Xiaotao, you’re the kindhearted one.”

It wasn’t that she was kindhearted. Auntie Miao had really treated her like a daughter all these years. She liked Auntie Miao and she hoped that Auntie Miao and her daddy could be together for the rest of their lives.

…

The art exhibition went on for two hours. After that, it was the auction.

The host stood on the stage. “Welcome to Ye Xiaotao, Miss Ye’s art exhibition today. Next, we’ll start the auction. Miss Ye will give all the funds raised from the auction to charity… Okay, the first painting is…”

There were a lot of people raising their placards and the atmosphere was very lively. Ye Xiaotao stood backstage and looked at the scene. She was very satisfied.

The fourth painting being sold made Ye Xiaotao’s heart skip a beat. It was the painting that the woman standing behind the screen like.

Ye Xiaotao looked up and found the couple in an inconspicuous corner.

They were very low-profile but Ye Xiaotao knew that they were definitely not ordinary people. Some people exuded an unattainable coldness and n.o.bility, as well as a profound aura that one couldn’t delve into.

That man was one of them.

“Okay, let’s start the bidding now. One million,” the host said.

“Two million…”

“Five million…”

“Ten million…”

The crowd began to bid. When the price reached ten million, no one raised it. The host was very satisfied with this price. “Does anyone want to raise the price? Ten million going once, ten million going twice…”

Ye Xiaotao looked at the couple. Were they not going to buy it?

At this time, the secretary behind the man raised her board. “10.1 million.”

The crowd quickly burst into laughter. There was a loud discussion too. One had to know that this place was either filled with the rich or the n.o.ble. To raise the price by 10,000 was simply… embarra.s.sing.

“I bid 10.2 million.”

“I bid 11 million.”…

Everyone began to laugh.

Ye Xiaotao couldn’t see the couple’s expressions clearly because of the dim light. However, their auras were calm and composed.
