Chapter 154: Don’t Sow Discord Between Us, Husband and Wife

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

At six something in the evening, the auction hall was filled with famous people from all over the world.

It had been five years since a Qi Bai painting was auctioned.

Countless people had put in a lot of effort to fill this gap but they all returned empty-handed.

Therefore, when news about an auction of a Qi Bai posthumous work got out, everyone who was interested flew over like bees to honey.

Chen Kexin and Tao Niannian sat in their VIP seats with excitement on their faces.

This was the first time Chen Kexin attended such a high-class auction.

Although Old Madam Lu doted on her like she was her granddaughter, she was not a real young miss of the Lu family and wasn’t qualified to attend many events.

This time, the auction house also sent the invitation to Old Madam Lu but she gave her tickets away.

Chen Kexin felt that whether she could see Qi Bai’s painting was secondary.

What was more important to her was being part of this auction with all these famous people!

Tao Niannian was excited purely because Elder Tao loved to collect famous calligraphy and paintings. He was especially obsessed with Qi Bai’s paintings.

They had a Qi Bai painting at home and her grandfather cherished it very much.

She remembered that when she was young, she almost doodled on that Qi Bai painting. Fortunately, the housekeeper stopped her in time.

Even so, her grandfather was still furious and locked her in a small dark room for an entire day.

If she successfully bade for the Qi Bai painting this time and gave it to her grandfather, he would probably forgive her, right?

The two girls thought their own thoughts as they waited for the auction to start.

“How much do you have?” Tao Niannian asked Chen Kexin softly.

Tao Niannian’s grandfather had cut her off financially and she wanted to borrow some money from Chen Kexin.

Anyway, as far as she knew, Chen Kexin had no interest in art.

“Fifty million yuan,” Chen Kexin replied.

“Lend it to me. I’ll return you 55 million later.” Tao Niannian didn’t care about the money at all. As long as she could make her grandfather happy and go back home, she could fork out 500 million yuan, let alone 55 million!

55 million?

Chen Kexin was deeply jealous. The money she had secretly saved up over the years couldn’t even compare to Tao Niannian’s pocket money.

But if she married Brother All Zhi, she’d be able to squander like Tao Niannian!

“Okay.”

Chen Kexin nodded in agreement.

Tao Niannian propped her chin with both hands and waited happily for the auction to start.

At 7 p.m. sharp when almost all the guests had arrived, the auctioneer went on stage and started auctioning a few minor pieces to warm up the crowd.

Chen Kexin and Tao Niannian weren’t interested in those things.

They looked around the room in boredom.

Chen Kexin looked to her left and suddenly saw Jiang Yining and Xiao Lang sitting together. She grabbed Tao Niannian’s hand excitedly. “Is that Jiang Yining?”

Tao Niannian followed her gaze.

Sure enough, she saw Jiang Yining sitting in the last row. She was wearing a baseball cap with the brim very low.

No wonder not many people noticed her.

As for the person next to her…

Brother Xiao Lang!

Tao Niannian felt betrayed. Xiao Lang knew how much she hated Jiang Yining. How could he hang out with her?

“It’s her. How did this b*tch hook up with Brother Xiao Lang?”

“Jiang Yining gave Xiao Lang an original music score last time. That’s probably when they met.”

Chen Kexin suddenly had an evil thought. She took out her phone and adjusted the focus on the camera.

She aimed her phone at Jiang Yining and Xiao Lang and started filming.

Xiao Lang happened to be talking to Jiang Yining at the moment.

Chen Kexin deliberately adjusted the angle to make it look like they were kissing.

She looked at the scene on her camera and sneered.

Instead of taking the path to heaven, this woman chose to barge into hell.

Well, Jiang Yining…

You were the one who gave me this leverage on a silver platter. Let’s see how you’d survive this disaster.

“No, I must go and replace Brother Xiao Lang.”

Tao Niannian couldn’t take it anymore. She stood up and was about to replace Xiao Lang and tell him stay away from Jiang Yining when Chen Kexin pulled her back.

“If you go now, you would just expose Jiang Yining and Xiao Lang’s affair in front of everyone. Xiao Lang would lose face. He wouldn’t just not take your side, he would also blame you of being a busybody.”

“We grew up together and he’s like an older brother to me. He wouldn’t do that to me.” Tao Niannian said confidently.

Chen Kexin whispered, “I also thought that I was very important to Ah Zhi before he met Jiang Yining. But look at my situation now…”

Tao Niannian was slightly discouraged.

Jiang Yining was too skillful a b*tch for any ordinary person to beat.

But this Brother Xiao Lang…

He clearly knew that Jiang Yining was a married woman. Why did he want to have anything to do with her?

There were so many other nice girls in the world. Why must he choose her?

“Then what should we do? Are we just going to let them cheat?”

“I have evidence. If they dare to cheat openly like that, we’ll teach them a lesson!” Chen Kexin clicked on the video on her phone.

“Yes, Kexin. You are so smart.” Tao Niannian concurred.

Chen Kexin stood up and sat Tao Niannian down.

“Be patient, I’ll let you watch a good show.”

Jiang Yining looked down at her phone and saw a new message from the housekeeper.

His message said that Lu Zhi had yet to return home.

Jiang Yining was relieved.

That meant that if she rushed home before Lu Zhi got home, she wouldn’t get a lecture from him.

Xiao Lang leaned his head over and saw the message. “Are you so closely watched by Lu Zhi?”

Jiang Yining slapped his head away.

Xiao Lang teased her with a smile, “You’re twenty years old, not two. Don’t you feel oppressed when he controls you so tightly?”

“Don’t sow discord between us, husband and wife.” Jiang Yining replied flatly.

Xiao Lang touched his nose. “I’m just thinking for you. You are a talented pianist who studied under Elder Liang. You shouldn’t let your talent go to waste. Yining, if you perform on a bigger stage, you will definitely amaze the world. I just feel that you should shine and not be an unknown Young Madam Lu.”

People generally assumed that Jiang Yining married Lu Zhi for money and status.

But Xiao Lang felt that Lu Zhi was not worthy of her at all.

Wasn’t Lu Zhi just a rich kid? What else did he have other than money?

Jiang Yining was a genius in the art world! A darling!

If she had the desire, he could make her a top pianist in the world!

“I have my own plans. You don’t have to say all this nonsense.”

“Yining…”

Xiao Lang wanted to convince her but Jiang Yining interrupted, “Alright now. Qi Bai’s work is coming up. Look at the stage.”

Jiang Yining didn’t want to continue the conversation at all.

Xiao Lang could only shut up.

As soon as they stopped talking, the auctioneer lifted the curtain on Qi Bai’s work with passion.

“This is the star of today’s auction. A painting by Master Qi Bai! Qi Bai is known for his exquisite brush work and lifelike paintings. His unique style has never been surpassed or imitated! Owning a masterpiece by Qi Bai in your lifetime would probably make you die without regrets! We are all witnessing a historical moment!”

The auctioneer raised his chin slightly and said, “Alright, enough talk. Let’s start the bidding at 50 million yuan! Each increment is 10 million yuan and there’s no upper limit!”

The starting bid was 50 million yuan?

Tao Niannian and Chen Kexin were dumbfounded.

They only had enough money for the starting price. How were they going to compete?

“What kind of painting is worth so much money? This is extortion.” Chen Kexin complained.

Tao Niannian said with a frown, “There are very few of his paintings in the world. They have always been very valuable.”

However, she did not expect it to be so valuable.

“What do we do now?”

Chen Kexin was afraid that if Tao Niannian didn’t borrow money from her, she wouldn’t be able to earn that 5 million yuan.

She even prayed in her heart that no one else would bid for this painting so that Tao Niannian would get it.

“Let’s bid anyway.” Tao Niannian gritted her teeth.

As long as the price was below 100 million yuan, she could still borrow money to pay for it.

“60 million!” Tao Niannian raised her paddle without hesitation.

When she shouted her bid, the other guests seemed more enthusiastic.

“70 million!”

“80 million!”

“100 million!”

Chen Kexin felt like she was in a dream as she watched the carnival..
