The afternoon sun was warm, comfortable and pleasant. It poured into the car through the car window and fell on Xu Li, making it shine and shine.

After driving for a while, she became a little drowsy. While she was still trying to hold on to sleep, a hand suddenly reached out and pressed her head against his shoulder.

Xu Li was stunned for a moment, but with the blessing of sleepiness, she didn't resist. Instead, she hugged his arm and closed her eyes in peace, muttering vaguely, "Call me when you get there."

"Um."

In a blur of consciousness, she heard the familiar dull voice and felt a hand fidgeting with her bangs, and then the light in her eyes disappeared.

Forty minutes later, the car arrived at the auction house.

Xu Li entered the venue together with Shang Yan and Chen Mo and sat in the middle of the third row.

There were quite a few people participating in the auction, all of them were foreigners, dressed gorgeously, and looked like they were worth a lot.

Xu Li didn't know much about this auction house, but he learned from Chen Mo that although Sgard was not the largest auction house in Italy, it was the most luxurious auction house in Rome with the highest prices.

On the 10th, 20th and 30th of each month, there are two auctions in the morning and evening on the 10th of each month. The lots in each auction range from eight to 12, and each lot comes from all over the country. The lowest price

The starting price is thirty thousand euros.

Soon, the auction officially began. Under the host's suspenseful explanation, a box covered with a red curtain appeared in everyone's sight.

Immediately under the attention of everyone, the red curtain was opened by the staff, and inside was a green jade bracelet. When the host knocked the auction hammer to start, people on the scene began to bid.

Until the sixth item, Xu Li acted very leisurely and lazy, and she was just a spectator.

Shang Yan, who was sitting next to her, was more composed than she was, with a calm and meticulous face, while Chen Mo, who was holding the auction sign, had sweaty palms for some reason.

He had seen scenes bigger than this, but at this moment he suddenly felt a little nervous.

He always felt that his wife would do a lot of work later.

The seventh lot was a painting, with a Western abstract style and rich colors. There were quite a few people rushing to take the picture, but Xu Li couldn't appreciate it, so she still didn't take any action.

The eighth item was still a painting, leaning towards the ancient Chinese style. Xu Li raised his eyebrows, then tilted his head to look at Chen Mo, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Special Assistant Chen!"

Chen Mo clasped his face with his fingers and nodded towards her.

There were many bidders for this lot. When the price was about the same, Chen Mo raised his bid.

After raising it four or five times in a row, the price went up higher and higher, and there were fewer bidders. However, there was a girl with short blond hair in the first row who seemed to be in a fight with Chen Mo, so the bidder beside her

Keep raising signs.

Finally, after Chen Mo raised the painting to 5 million, the girl turned back and glared at them fiercely, then raised her hand casually, and the host on the stage shouted 800,000 euros.

That translates to six million.

Xu Li chuckled lightly, remembering that when she first entered the venue, the man next to her praised her for taking off her mask, saying, "Wow, she's so beautiful." She then glared at her with hatred.

Thinking about it carefully, she didn't seem to take any action on all the previous auctions. Could it be that she was being targeted at her now?

Tsk tsk, if I don’t look as good as I want, I shouldn’t go home and blame my parents, or even more... shouldn’t I blame the doctors at the plastic surgery hospital for their medical skills?

What does it have to do with her?

She was a little unconvinced, and then she winked at Chen Mo, waved, took the auction sign from his hand, and started bidding with the girl with short blond hair.

When she shouted 1.1 million euros, the short-haired girl turned her head and looked at her triumphantly, her eyes full of gloating, as if provoking.

Xu Li curled her lips, a clear smile appeared in her eyes, put away the auction cards and fell silent.

Seeing that she had no intention of raising her sign, the girl suddenly panicked, especially when she heard the host say 1.1 million euros for the second time, her face turned green.

Only then did she suddenly realize that Xu Li was deliberately helping her pay too high a price, just pretending to be sure to win.

When the auction gavel was struck on the stage and the word 'deal' was heard in the audience, Xu Li returned the sign to Chen Mo, smiled at the girl and clapped.

The ninth lot was a Western handicraft ornament. Chen Mo followed Xu Li's instructions and was the first to hold up the sign. As expected, the girl followed.

Just like the previous auction, when the blond girl thought she would raise the price, Xu Li suddenly stopped raising her sign, and the two items fell into her hands, but they cost more than two million euros.

Seeing her smiling so wantonly, Shang Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you happy?"

Xu Li nodded, "Of course I'm happy. Tell me, will she still take part in the next auction?"

"If she was smart, she wouldn't follow."

Xu Li chuckled lightly and did not reply. When the tenth lot was revealed, Xu Li suddenly sat upright and his eyes lit up.

It is a camellia hairpin with green wood tassels.

At first glance, Xu Li felt a little surprised. This hairpin was not gorgeous, but rather simple and simple, but it highlighted its cool and elegant beauty.

She is not boasting, she thinks this hairpin suits her very well.

"Shang Yan." She called softly.

Shang Yan glanced sideways at her and understood what she meant, then looked at Chen Mo. After Chen Mo understood, he nodded, knowing that this time he was really in trouble.

When the blond woman turned her head to look over, Xu Li's expression returned to calmness, and she looked at the stage as calmly as before, without ever crossing her eyes.

This time Chen Mo didn't rush to raise the sign, and the blond girl was a little unsure about not allowing Li Li, and looked back at her frequently.

Xu Li also showed her openly and fiddled with her hair casually.

When there were only a few bidders left, Chen Mo started to raise his placard to bid.

Seeing this, the blond girl followed her three times. Xu Li shook her head, leaned her head close to Shang Yan and whispered, "It seems that she is not smart, but I really like this hairpin."

"If you like it, shoot it." Shang Yan replied calmly with four words.

Xu Li curled her red lips, knowing that no matter how many times she followed him, this hairpin would be hers.

And it just so happened that the scene where the two of them were whispering and Xu Li was smiling like a flower was captured by the blonde girl. At this time, Chen Mo also directly shouted out the price to one million euros.

It was the same as the first picture, the same routine. The blonde girl hesitated for a while. After she made the final decision, she gritted her teeth and glared at Xu Li resentfully.

Xu Li felt that she was not only innocent, but also quite speechless.

The last item on the lot was a watch with an obsidian dial. Xu Li tilted her head and suddenly said, "Shang Yan, it's almost Christmas."

Shang Yan was stunned for a moment, "Yeah."

"That hairpin was your Christmas gift to me. How about I take a photo of this one and treat it as my birthday gift to you?"
