The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 316: Chapter 316: Elder Pei Liu’s Auction, A Good Show to Watch Chapter 316: Chapter 316: Elder Pei Liu’s Auction, A Good Show to Watch The next morning.

The auction organized by Elder Pei Liu proceeded as planned.

The auction hall was packed with guests, with the Pei Hotel setting aside an entire floor for the auction venue.

Shen Boyi entered the venue with Qingwu and Shen Shaojia by his side.

Qingwu wore a white dress with a hollowed-out design on the back, revealing her beautiful butterfly bones and waistline. There was an innocent yet subtly alluring charm to her, complemented by simple jewelry that was understated yet captivating.

Shen Shaojia donned a black suit dress with her neat and brisk short hair draped over her shoulders, casually pinned up with a diamond hair clip, exuding an ethereal aura within that lazy elegance.

The two sisters, one on each side, linked arms with Shen Boyi. As soon as they entered, Elder Pei Liu came up to greet them personally.

“How come I don’t see Pei Jue? That boy is slacking off; he didn’t even accompany Qingwu to the auction.”

The volume of Elder Pei Liu’s voice was not low, clearly intending to insinuate that Pei Jue did not value the marriage alliance with the Shen Family.

Qingwu didn’t take these tricks to heart.

Qingwu smiled dismissively and appropriately.

“Pei Jue is on his way and will be a bit late. After all, he has been quite leisurely recently, unlike Elder Liu, who always seems to be so busy.”

Everyone knew exactly how Elder Pei Liu became the president.

The presidency that Pei Jue didn’t want!

Although he’s called the president of the Pei Clan, everyone present knew that Elder Pei Liu didn’t really gain any advantages within the Pei Group. This auction was nothing more than to plug the holes in his own finances!

Qingwu smiled with profound implications.

“After all, Elder Liu is the president of the Pei Group, and Pei Jue is just an ordinary major shareholder. Since Elder Liu has to liquidate his assets, of course, Pei Jue will come and give Elder Liu face.”

Shen Boyi commented blandly, “Qingwu, be polite. Elder Liu is ruthless enough to even kill his own brother when he puts his mind to it, your brother is worried about your safety.”

Shen Shaojia frowned slightly: “Yeah, Qingwu, let’s keep it down. I’m so scared. Elder Pei Liu isn’t planning on hitting me, is he?”

Elder Pei Liu: “…”

He suddenly had some regrets.

He had already experienced how sharp-tongued the Shen siblings were at the Pei Family mansion. Why on earth did he have to go and make small talk with them?

“Just a joke… please come this way.”

Qingwu followed up with a laugh, “Elder Liu is so magnanimous; it’s no wonder you’re making such a show of liquidating your assets, as if you’re afraid people won’t know you’re going bankrupt.”

There were quite a few of Pei Family’s business partners present, and they all chuckled at Qingwu’s words!

This Miss Shen from the Shen Family, unexpectedly, was just as quick-witted, leaving Elder Pei Liu without any advantages and his face flushed with embarrassment!

Watching the three Shen siblings take their seats, Elder Pei Liu felt a throbbing pain in his temples!

In the seats in front of the Shen siblings sat Elder Pei and Elder Xuan.

Elder Pei was chatting with an old lady beside her.

“I envy you, to have lost your husband at such a young age. My old man is still kicking, but it doesn’t look like he has many days left.”

The elderly lady with silver hair consoled her: “Then your good days are approaching.”

Elder Pei chuckled coldly, “I don’t have many days left either, who knows if I’ll go before the old man.”

Elder Pei’s way of speaking was generally not accepted by everyone, but fortunately, this old lady had been through a lot and laughed heartily, glancing around.

“Oh my, I didn’t see your old man here today?”

“He’s off playing chess with Shen Lisu. He wouldn’t understand what’s going on here anyway, he’d just be in the way.”

Elder Mrs. Pei spoke frankly, never avoiding anyone when she talked.

If Elder Pei attended this auction today, she wouldn’t be able to have a moment’s peace.

“I don’t think much of this auction organized by the Pei Family’s sixth son. You’re not interested in antiques either, so why are you here?”

“I heard Elder Pei Liu has several precious jade carvings, said to be the works of Mr. Yu Lan. I came for those.”

Qingwu, sitting in the back row, slightly raised her eyebrows.

Her jade carvings were almost all in the hands of Beidou Star, with a clear record of their sale. She didn’t remember ever selling any jade carving to Elder Pei Liu.

She hadn’t seen any jade carvings in Elder Pei Liu’s warehouse these past few days either.

The old lady beside Elder Mrs. Pei looked at the bracelet on her wrist with envy, saying: “That bracelet is from the auction many years ago, right? I remember there were two bracelets; so, it turns out you bought this one!”

“The old man bought it for me; it’s not worth much. It’s just a trinket to play with.”

Elder Mrs. Pei casually took off the bracelet and handed it to Qingwu behind her.

“Here, Qingwu girl, this one is for you. Shaojia’s will wait a little longer; Elder Liu has a particularly translucent bracelet, grandma will bid for it for you.”

Qingwu looked at the bracelet handed over by Elder Mrs. Pei, the translucent emerald was flawless, clearly a treasured item worth millions.

“Take it, or I’ll smash it.”

Seeing Qingwu not taking it for a while, Elder Mrs. Pei spoke displeasedly, “This thing was auctioned off at the same auction as your grandmother’s bracelet. Do you want it or not?”

Qingwu wore the bracelet given by Lin Huazhen on her wrist. Hearing that the bracelet handed by Elder Mrs. Pei was from the same auction as her grandmother’s, Qingwu hurriedly took it!

“This is too precious, Elder Mrs. Pei, you should keep it for yourself.”

Elder Mrs. Pei frowned displeasedly, rolling her eyes somewhat spitefully, her tone extremely impatient.

“I am nearly in the grave; what do I need all this sparkling jewelry for? Jingling all day long like a bell, people might think I’m knocking on a coffin lid.”

“You’ve been given it, so take it; why so much talk!”

Elder Mrs. Pei kicked Elder Xuan next to her.

“Elder Liu has a Glass Species jade bracelet; buy it for Shaojia, I’ll think less of you if you don’t.”

Elder Xuan coldly said, “Just buying a bracelet? I’ll buy whatever Shaojia likes!”

The two elders bickered at the front, and no one at the back dared to intervene.

The auction soon began.

The lights in the venue dimmed, and a spotlight fell on the stage.

Elder Pei Liu stood on the stage, smiling warmly at the guests below.

“Thank you for taking the time to come to the Pei Auction. Without further ado, the first item is a painting from the Tang Dynasty, ‘Lady with Fan’. The starting bid is three million!”

Another person appeared beside Qingwu.

The mysterious, cool aroma of wormwood spread from him, telling her without looking who was sitting by her side!

The one who would boldly take a seat next to Qingwu in such a setting could only be Pei Jue!

He gently took Qingwu’s hand, writing several words on the palm of her hand.

Each stroke was very deliberate, his cool fingertips tracing her warm palm, sending a tingling sensation throughout her body…

Qingwu forced herself to calm down, ignoring the increasingly palpable beat of her heart in the darkness, deciphering the words Pei Jue had written!

[Everything is prepared, just wait and watch a good show!]
