Chapter 231 Showtime
Auction.
The live auction was going to be held on a dance floor that was separated by a long and narrow stage. Jiang Yue thought they were going to display the pieces of jewelry that would be auctioned on that stage.
Tables were placed surrounding the stage in a U position. Jiang Yue assumed that all high-bidders would be seated at the front. Of course, this included Fu Jin and his private ’bodyguard’.
And just like what she expected, someone asked Fu Jin to join the high-bidders on the front part of the seating chart. In response, Fu Jin just nodded and followed the attendant to his designated seat.
Just like Fu Jin and Jiang Yue, the other CEO’s and prominent individuals were also invited to their designated seats.
Since this was a jewelry gala, a lot of the items that were going to be auctioned, were ancient and elegant pieces of jewelry. In fact, the ambiance of the whole auction venue screamed elegance and class.
At this point, Jiang Mian was already waiting for an opportunity to see Jiang Yue’s face. She had already had a hunch that Jiang Yue was Fu Jin’s bodyguard for the night. Jiang Mian inwardly chastised herself for missing this very important point.
How could have she missed Jiang Yue? No... it was not her fault. Who would have thought that Jiang Yue would become Fu Jin’s bodyguard and dress this way to avoid people from noticing her?
Did she know that Jiang Mian was planning to use this opportunity to get close to Fu Jin?
"Hey, are you alright?" Jiang Mian’s CEO asked her.
"Yes, I just noticed that Fu Jin’s bodyguard is a girl," she answered. The CEO of Jiang Mian’s agency was an extremely lewd person, who would attempt to bed every girl that he wanted. Of course, this included his personal favorite-Jiang Mian. Even his wife was aware of this.
And just like what she expected, the CEO’s eyes almost bulged out of their sockets when he looked at the woman next to Fu Jin. Her tall and slender frame instantly attracted his attention.
What a pretty silhouette.
At this moment, Fu Jin felt the licentious gaze and looked at the CEO, who was ogling Jiang Yue. His face instantly turned darker, as his gaze pierced through the old man.
The CEO shivered when he noticed Fu Jin’s glare and was forced to divert his gaze elsewhere.
This interaction did not go unnoticed by Jiang Mian and with this, she was able to confirm that the bodyguard was indeed Jiang Yue. She gritted her teeth in annoyance as another plan started forming in her mind.
Jiang Mian watched, as Jiang Yue followed Fu Jin around to the seat that had already been reserved for them. It was two seats away from Jiang Mian and her CEO’s seats.
At this point, Jiang Yue had already noticed Jiang Mian’s glare, but she refused to acknowledge it. Her guess was originally right. Someone wanted Fu Jin to attend this event without her. And that someone could be Li Qiang and Jiang Mian. Too bad, she was going to ruin their plans for the night.
Jiang Yue watched as the auction manager made his way to the stage, her lips curling into an evil smirk.
The auction started with the least valuable pieces of jewelry, however, for the common people, these types of jewelry were already very expensive.
It was a beautiful bangle made of white gold and diamonds. Although this type of item was fairly common, this one had been around for hundreds of years, making it unique and expensive.
People started placing their biddings as Fu Jin silently slid the bidding paddle to Jiang Yue, a silent signal that she could do the bidding instead of him.
Still, this action had not gone unnoticed by Jiang Mian. Just how much did Fu Jin dote on Jiang Yue, to give her the right to use millions of dollars the way she wanted to?
The jealousy in Jiang Mian’s heart was almost making her dizzy. She hated this woman for being so lucky. Jiang Mian once again stared at Jiang Yue before an evil glint flashed in her eyes.
It’s showtime.
