Turning his head to the side, forcing himself not to look at her, and turning a blind eye to her begging for help, Chu Di felt a cruel pleasure in his heart.
Regarding Lin Xiangwan, he always had a strange thought in his heart. He liked to see her in trouble, liked to see her suffer, and liked to pour cold water on her head when she was proud.
It's like children who are cruel enough to tear off the wings of butterflies and then exile them. Watching their painful struggle, they will feel a sense of pleasure similar to pain in their hearts.
Perhaps in Chu Di's heart, he had been minding the scene when Lin Xiangwan met him for the first time, and he had been caring about the difference between her and him.
Although we have learned time and again in books since we were in elementary school that people are not divided into status and class, you cannot deny that in real life, class and status appear in some corner of life anytime and anywhere.
You can't see it, you can't touch it, but you can feel it very clearly.
Although he is now extremely wealthy, when she first met him, to her, who was like a princess, Chu Di might just be a poor boy who came out of the slums. Poverty is like a brand, no matter how you live your life in the future.
What kind of life, as long as you have experienced it, you will always bear its mark on your body.
Even if her family fell into decline later, when she stood with him, people would still say, look, as long as you have money, you can get any woman no matter what she looks like.
And his relationship with her was maintained by nothing but money.
She only came to him because of the money, and apart from that, she had no other expectations from him.
It was clear that the relationship between the two of them was like this, but for some reason, every time Chu Di thought about this, she would feel filled with panic.
So he always makes things difficult for her in every possible way, seeing her in trouble, seeing her embarrassed, seeing her humble and surrendering in front of him, he will feel very calm in his heart, because only at such moments, he can feel the status between the two of them.
The difference will disappear and the clouds and mud will no longer be different.
Thinking of Lin Xiangwan's anxious look, the corners of Chu Di's lips unconsciously raised an elegant arc, but his good mood did not last long before he was ruthlessly broken.
The etiquette lady who was supposed to walk in front of Lin Xiangwan turned around in front of her, and then stopped in front of Chu Di. Chu Di was startled and asked, "What does this mean?" It was not Lin Xiangwan's photo.
After placing the item, why did it stop at his place?
Miss etiquette was also a little surprised when she heard this, and Chu Di's expression was really stern when he didn't smile, so she was speechless for a long time before she said, "Mr. Chu, you sat in this chair...it's not you who should do it."
Did you pay the bill?"
Because it was the first item to be auctioned and it was photographed in such a dramatic way, everyone at the scene focused on their corner. Miss etiquette obviously did not have such a good ability to bear pressure. Under the gaze of Chu Di and everyone else,
Next, her hands trembled and she almost dropped the tray.
Seeing how pitiful she was, Lin Xiangwan took the tray and raised it in front of Chu Di, "Mr. Chu, please take the cards. The whole audience is waiting for you."
At this moment, there was no trace of gloom on her face. There was a smile in her eyes, like a cunning hunter watching his prey step into a carefully laid trap.
Suddenly, their positions were completely reversed. Chu Di's face became extremely ugly. He asked in a deep voice, "What are you doing?"
"Me? I didn't do anything. Everyone can see clearly that you are the one who wants to sit in this position." Lin Xiangwan said innocently, and then she seemed to realize something and exclaimed exaggeratedly, "I
Oh my God, Mr. Chu, don’t you know what’s going on with this seat, so you just sit on it? Oops, this is a big mistake. You don’t want to refuse to pay, do you?”
As soon as this statement came out, the whole auction house was in an uproar. Seven million is not a small amount, but with Chu Di's wealth, it will never be unaffordable. But if he really refuses to pay the auction price on the grounds of ignorance...
I wonder how the Shen family will end up? If this precedent is set, will similar things happen in the future? Wouldn't the Shen family's auction become a joke?
As soon as they smelled the gossip, the crowd became excited, and the chattering sounds were like countless insects burrowing into his ear holes, giving him a splitting headache.
What made him even more uncomfortable was not only that, the way people looked at him...
Suspicious, inquiring, guessing, and contemptuous, one after another the gazes were like sharp arrows, shooting straight into Chu Di's limbs and bones.
"Crack." With a sound, the crystal cup was pinched with force, and blood flowed out together with the golden wine in the cup. Chu Di stepped forward and grabbed Lin Xiangwan's wrist with his wounded hand.
He said in a voice that could be heard by the whole audience, "I took the photo, so I will definitely pay the bill, but this thing is not mine, why should I pay?"
"It turns out you really don't know, Mr. Chu." Lin Xiangwan sneered and let him hold her wrist bones so loudly that they creaked, "Why don't you stand up from this chair first and take a good look at it before you speak.
"
The chair is just a very ordinary sandalwood chair. If there is anything special about this chair, it probably means that it was made for a very long time, the craftsmanship is particularly exquisite, and its shape...
Unlike ordinary chairs with four straight legs, the lower body of this chair has a cross-shaped legs. The legs are engraved with nine dragons and auspicious cloud patterns, which looks very noble.
Lin Xiangwan caressed the body of the chair with her palms. The wood, which had experienced hundreds of years, seemed to be alive, speaking silently under her palms. Lin Yuwan slowly said, "Mr. Chu doesn't even know about this."
The origin of the chair. I'm afraid I've heard people say that you have to sit on the top spot, right? Yes, this chair is the top chair. The top chair originated from the northern nomads in the Western Han Dynasty. After the Ming Dynasty, this kind of chair with intersecting legs
, it was widely circulated. Because it was loved by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, it was also named Xiaoyao Seat, and the top spot was also derived from this. The rosewood chair at Shen's auction first appeared in
In Shanghai in the 1930s, despite the raging war, the world was still prosperous. Many people made a fortune due to speculation during the war. The metropolis was bustling with music every night, no less than in the past. Many businessmen who got rich overnight were making a lot of money.
After they got married, they began to set their sights on the antique market, and auctions were their favorite place to go..."
Lin Xiangwan's voice is clear, with magical penetrating and rendering power. It doesn't need to be too high, but it can be heard clearly by the people in the entire venue, even though there are many very rich and noble people in the venue.
, but she may not be very clear about the origin of this chair, so her words immediately brought everyone back to that flashy and troubled era.
"At that time, you didn't go to the auction alone. Most of the players brought their favorite female companions with them. If there was anything the female companion liked, they would try their best to take pictures. So we often encountered this situation at the venue.
, two ladies took a fancy to the same thing at the same time, and the men would fight to the death for the sake of face, and buy things that were not worth it at a high price. It always happened like this in the end, and it was not a solution, so someone came up with an idea, please
Get out of this chair."
"For anyone sitting in the top spot, the first three items taken on that day, no matter what the final transaction price is, will be paid by the person sitting in the top spot. And similarly, in return, if the person sitting in the top spot likes something, other people will pay for it.
Players are not allowed to compete with him..."
Lin Xiangwan took back his hand, looked at the chair with great nostalgia, and said, "Mr. Chu, you have actually made a profit. If it were in the old society, you would have to pay for the first three items. Now in the new era, you only have to pay
This one will do.”
"Mr. Chu, remember to ask about things you don't know in the future. Don't be impulsive. If you lose money and don't talk about it, you will lose face. How ugly." In a voice that only the two of them could hear, Lin Xiangwan said with a chuckle.
Chu Didao.
Chu Di's body trembled slightly and she clenched her fists tightly, as if she was trying to control her emotions. He knew that what she said was true, but precisely because it was true, it made him even more angry!!
What does she mean by this? She is laughing at him both inside and outside her words, for he is just a bumpkin from poor to rich, isn't she?
Yes, she has depth and content. He has never learned the tricks that rich people like to play most. Where was he when she followed Ye Zhong to gain experience at the auction?
Did he and Ah Dao fight for a piece of territory with others in a dark alley and get bloodied? Did he stand in front of someone's house and wait sleeplessly for several days to collect a gambling debt?
Make yourself look like a savage just for ten thousand dollars?!
She is as noble as a princess, as pure as the whitest flower in the clouds, unstained by lead dust.
As for him, he was just a puddle of mud under her feet. If she hadn't been forced to fall into the world because of her family's decline, she would never even look at him!
This is the difference between them. No matter how rich he is, in her eyes, he is just a scumbag.
And she was in despair again.
Chu Di glanced at Shen Shijun, who was standing next to Lin Xiangwan, and the Shen family. They will always belong to the same country!
"Thank you Miss Lin for your advice, it opened Chu's eyes. For this reason, Chu should also thank Miss Lin. I will definitely buy this jade bracelet for Miss Lin." He clearly felt that he would not lose if he loses.
The fire was already burning red, but Chu Di still had a kind smile on his face. Only Lin Xiangwan knew how hard he held her wrist, wishing to crush her bones.
But Lin Xiangwan didn't buy his account at all. She sneered and said with a smile, "Then I will thank Mr. Chu for his kindness on behalf of the children who are out of school in remote mountainous areas. I don't want this bracelet. I will give it to the auction."
Yes, all the money from the auction again will be donated to those in need! Even if it’s me, I’ll do something good for you, Mr. Chu, and accumulate some virtue!”
