The auction continued, and Jiang Chengyan stopped teasing Su Ciyi and turned to chat with Yin Yu.

At this moment, someone came to the seat next to Su Ciyi that had been empty.

A man sat down.

Su Ciyi didn't pay attention at first, but she heard Xu Qingzhi say politely to the man: "Mr. Qi," "Long time no see."

The word "Qi" made Su Ciyi couldn't help but turn her head and take a look.

If nothing else, her mother's surname is also Qi.

There are few people with the surname Qi in the imperial capital, so Su Ciyi was a little curious when she heard the surname Qi.

The man sitting next to her seemed to be in his thirties. He was handsome, noble, and resolute. He looked upright.

The only thing that caught Su Ciyi's eye was the small scar on the man's eyebrow bone, so that the man's left eyebrow was broken.

Qi Zhenglong nodded to Xu Qingzhi, and when he noticed that someone was staring at him from behind, he couldn't help but turn his head.

This made Su Ciyi's eyes meet.

When Qi Zhenglong saw Su Ciyi for the first time, he couldn't help but frown.

Su Ci couldn't help but feel doubtful in his heart when he saw the complaint.

Why did she feel that Qi Zhenglong looked at her a little strangely?

However, she still nodded to Qi Zhenglong politely and thoughtfully, and then looked away to watch the auction.

Qi Zhenglong glanced at Su Ciyi.

But that was all. Although the two were sitting next to each other, they did not have much contact with each other.

Although Su Ciyi had been looking at the auction venue, her mind had already gone to the horizon.

she was thinking.

Why did the man next to her look at her like that?

She didn't remember ever seeing such a person.

Su Ciyi's perception is keen, and she also knows that the person sitting with her, Jiang Chengyan, Yin Yu, and Xu Qingzhi is naturally not a small character.

And just now Xu Qingzhi called him "Mr. Qi".

Su Ciyi has not forgotten that in addition to the Jiang family, the Yin family, and the Xu family, the four families in the imperial capital also have the Qi family.

So the man next to her is from the Qi family.

The Qi family is quite well-established in the imperial capital.

The Qi family is not actually from the imperial capital, because most of the Qi family's properties are in country y, not to mention that it is said that the Qi family is also related to the military and political circles in country y.

The Qi family is very powerful in country Y and has a lot of property in the imperial capital, so it is more than enough to rank among the four major families in the imperial capital.

The Qi family is deeply hidden. The outside world only knows that the Qi family has a profound background, but they do not know how many backgrounds the Qi family has. Moreover, the Qi family has always been low-key and rarely publicized. They rarely make friends with some families in the imperial capital. Even some banquets are

Not very present.

But even so, looking at the entire imperial capital, there is no short-sighted family that dares to underestimate the Qi family.

When Su Ci thought of this, her thoughts couldn't help but take another turn.

According to the information she gathered when she first entered the imperial capital, it was said that the Qi family was not so low-key a few decades ago, and is now in a semi-retired state.

I heard that something big happened to the Qi family decades ago. Since then, the Qi family seemed to have become depressed overnight. They lived behind closed doors and did not let the outside world pry into anything.

As for what major event happened, Su Ciyi couldn't find out.

This is considered a secret among the big family. With the power of the Qi family, people may have wiped away all traces of this matter long ago, not to mention so many years have passed.

Su Ciyi was not a nosy gossip. After thinking about this, she put away her thoughts and concentrated on watching the auction.

It's better to say that it's watching the auction, but it's better to say that it's just to let your eyes focus and pass the time.

It happened that the auction was coming to an end at this time, and someone carefully picked up an exquisite velvet box.

When I opened it, I saw it was a pink diamond necklace.

The host of the auction took the microphone and began to passionately introduce this pink diamond necklace.

This pink diamond is a natural pink diamond picked from Country M. It is extremely rare and of the highest quality. It has been passed down among the royal family of Country M for a long time. Later, it was bought back by a private collector at a sky-high price and has always been regarded as a treasure.

collection.

Then he went back to China in a roundabout way, and then arrived at the imperial capital.

The starting price for this necklace was 80 million.

It's really valuable.

All the ladies and gentlemen on the scene were amazed and raised their placards to bid.

Jiang Chengyan also glanced at Su Ciyi beside him at this time, and saw her lazily leaning on the chair, her beautiful and charming eyebrows drooping, as if she was lacking in interest, as if she was not interested in the pink diamond at all.

"How about this necklace?"

Jiang Chengyan asked, looking at Su Ciyi's neck involuntarily and narrowing his eyes slightly.

Su Ciyi's skin was rare. Even Jiang Chengyan, a man, felt that there was not a single defect in her body that he could find.

The slender and slender neck and delicate and shaped collarbone match perfectly with this pink diamond necklace.

When Su Ciyi heard that the asking price of this pink diamond had soared to 150 million in a short while, the slightest ripples finally appeared in her calm eyes.

She gave a light "tsk" and said quite emotionally, "It looks good, but it's too expensive."

One hundred and fifty million, there are so many things that can be done with this kind of money.

She is not short of money, but she is not extravagant. She just thinks this necklace is really beautiful and rare.

But Su Ciyi didn't expect that just because of her simple boast, Jiang Chengyan next to her would immediately start bidding.

"Two hundred million."

The price was suddenly raised to 50 million.

For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Jiang Chengyan.

Even Su Ciyi was stunned and looked towards Jiang Chengyan.

But the man looked so calm and calm, as if what he called was not two hundred million, but two hundred.

Now, everyone knew that Jiang Chengyan wanted to take a photo of this necklace.

There were still people following the price, but no matter how much the bid was, Jiang Chengyan would go above and beyond the price by another 50 million.

This bidding method made everyone present speechless.

As expected, he is the person in charge of the Jiang family, and his generosity is frightening.

Su Ciyi looked very ugly, and she even wanted to beat up the wealthy man next to her.

She couldn't sit still anymore, straightened her back and pulled Jiang Chengyan's sleeves.

"What are you doing?"

If it weren't for the fear of others hearing her, Su Ciyi's tone would have been higher now.

Jiang Chengyan's indifferent and deep eyes glanced at her little hand holding his sleeve, and with a curl of his mouth, his big hand directly wrapped her little hand in his palm, and held it affectionately.

The tone was also casual, "You are so white, this necklace is worthy of you."

Su Ciyi gritted her teeth, "I'm not interested in this kind of thing!"

Jiang Chengyan took his time and turned to look at her slowly, then called out the price again, raising the price of the pink diamond necklace to 560 million.

After bidding the price, he raised his lips, his eyes filled with overwhelming tenderness, "But I am interested in seeing you wearing this necklace."

"..."

Su Ciyi was completely speechless and even wanted to stop Jiang Chengyan from asking for a price.

With so much money, why not just give it to her and exchange it for a useless pink diamond necklace?

She never cared about these things.

In the end, Jiang Chengyan bought the pink diamond necklace for 700 million.

The necklace was photographed, and all the women in the audience looked at Su Ciyi with even more envy and jealousy.

They even began to whisper about how much Jiang Chengyan loved and loved Su Ciyi.

Su Ciyi successfully stood on the forefront again.

Her face was extremely dark.

Later, a few more final items were brought up for auction, and when the auction was completely over, everyone left the venue one after another.

Su Ciyi shook off Jiang Chengyan's hand and didn't look kindly towards him at all.

Jiang Chengyan's thin lips curved, and he didn't seem to mind Su Ciyi's tantrum at all.

He followed Su Ciyi and insisted on sticking to her, "Why, your man spent 700 million just to make you smile. Why did you turn your face away instead?"
