He narrowed his eyes, covered it up again, held her hand tightly, and moved forward.
The perfectly matched man and woman, coupled with the prominent status and background of the two families in the Imperial Palace, instantly attracted the attention of the bustling crowd, but they still maintained their sense of reason.
No one dares to offend easily.
"Hello, I am Guang Ling from Guanglong Group. I was fortunate enough to work with the Gong family once. I wonder if Miss Gong still remembers me?"
A man in a neat suit walked up to Gong Yue with elegant steps, and immediately blocked her way, greeting her politely.
"Guang...Ling?" Gong Yue was startled, searching her mind carefully, and then responded with a shallow smile, "Sorry, I forgot."
A hint of joy flashed across Gu Yuanbei's tense face, and then turned gloomy again because of Gong Yue's next words.
"I remember it now, and I hope there will be a chance to cooperate next time!"
"Of course, it is the Guanglong Group's honor to be able to cooperate with the Gong family, and it is even more of an honor for me to know a beauty like Miss Gong!" Guang Ling was obviously carried away and took the photo in front of Gu Yuanbei.
Flattery.
"Thank you!" Gong Yue smiled elegantly, nodded according to etiquette, and immediately looked away from Guang Ling. She was not affected by this episode at all and continued walking towards the auction table.
Gu Yuanbei had a cold face and glanced at everyone who came to greet them one by one. He nodded politely, pursed his thin lips, and pulled Gong Yue to sit at the guest seat below the auction table.
"Beibei, what are you going to auction?" As soon as she sat down on the auction seat, Gong Yue immediately opened her beautiful big eyes and turned her head to look at him excitedly.
The red eyes said that no matter what he was going to auction soon, she would definitely grab it!
"..." Gu Yuanbei glanced at her, taking in the intention written all over her little face. There was a hint of endearment in the corner of his mouth, with a hint of teasing, and he raised his eyebrows to look at the entourage on the side.
The attendant stepped forward and opened the jewelry box in his hand. Immediately, an old pit gemstone that had not yet been polished came into view, accompanied by the attendant's respectful explanation.
"This is the gem collected by the old man. It is difficult to find such a piece of Laokeng jade on the market now. The Di family is the head of the four major families, so it is natural for it to set an example for charity!"
"Oh!" Gong Yue's face suddenly collapsed.
His little hands grabbed the small chain on his wrist, and his head drooped.
She thought Beibei would auction off her belongings so that she could collect them...
Sure enough, the ideal is too beautiful, but the reality is too... cruel!
Gu Yuanbei and Gong Yue came here under pressure. As soon as they appeared, it meant the official start of the charity dinner.
The people attending the dinner were all high-society noblemen and famous ladies, wearing evening gowns or straight suits, sitting elegantly on the guest seats with champagne and red wine, waiting for the opening of the auction.
Either individually, or in the name of family or company, they have prepared items for auction, and all proceeds from the auction will be used for charity. This is one of the most common and effective forms of charity.
The Di family is a heavyweight family, so naturally it has to be the finale, but Gong Yue did not hesitate to stand up from the guest seat as soon as the host announced the start.
Elegantly walked to the auction stage in the spotlight.
