The evil stepmother is also doing her best for the motherland today.

"No, it's just the right time to go there after dinner."

Xu Jingyi nodded after listening to what Gu Minzheng said, and the two of them entered the restaurant together. When they came out after eating, the driver was already waiting at the door and they went directly to the auction.

"Second brother, why aren't you here? Third brother, did you deliberately trick us into coming to your auction to cheer you up?" Several people who had asked Qin Yi for invitations in the group came to the auction early and were already waiting. Half an hour later, after the sighting was about to begin and Gu Minzheng was still nowhere to be seen, he questioned Qin Yidao.

When Qin Yi heard this, an angry expression appeared on his face: "Do you hear what you are saying? If I really needed you to support me, I would have waited until now, let alone lying to you! Really? There is no trust at all, right?"

"Although the third brother is unreliable, I believe he will not do such a childish thing. Maybe the second brother may be delayed by something."

"Xiao Wu, it's better for you." Qin Yi immediately put his arm around Xiao Wu's shoulder and said happily.

"Here we come, the second brother is here, and he's bringing his female companion with him."

Hearing these words, the four of them looked towards the door at the same time and saw Gu Minzheng and Xu Jingyi.

Gu Minzheng had a panoramic view of the four people's actions. He paused in his steps. Xu Jingyi, who was holding Gu Minzheng's shoulder, was pulled. She turned to look at Gu Minzheng with some doubts: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, let's go." Gu Minzheng shook his head, and the two of them walked towards the front row.

When they reached the front row, the four people represented by Qin Yi were no longer as active as before. They stood up obediently, pushing and pulling each other. It was Qin Yi who disliked these people for being too cowardly and spoke first: "Sister-in-law."

Xu Jingyi looked at the four people and then at Gu Minzheng. She didn't know what kind of medicine these people were selling. When she heard Qin Yi greeting her, she responded: "Qin Yi, long time no see."

"sister in law."

……

The remaining three people also called sister-in-law. Xu Jingyi was not very familiar with these three people. She subconsciously looked at Gu Minzheng, with a bit of dependence in her eyes and could not help but slightly raise the corners of her mouth.

"This is Xiaosi, Wen Zheng, Xiaowu, Cheng Yan, Xiaoliu, Jin Zhe."

"Hello." Xu Jingyi smiled and greeted them after listening to Gu Minzheng's introduction.

A few people stood at the front, looking a little awkward. Gu Minzheng glanced at a few people and said, "Sit down first."

"Yes, sit down first. The auction will start soon. Sister-in-law, please sit down quickly." Qin Yi answered naturally.

"Thank you." Xu Jingyi nodded and sat down next to Gu Minzheng.

Before anyone could say anything, the host of the auction came on stage and gave a general introduction to the items in the auction, and then started with the first item.

Gu Minzheng glanced at the person sitting upright next to him. He looked a little nervous. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, raised his hand and took Xu Jingyi's hand in his own.

Xu Jingyi was listening to the host's introduction attentively when she suddenly felt her hand being grabbed. She was startled and her eyes widened.

"Don't be nervous." The man's deep voice rang in his ears, and his warm breath spread over Xu Jingyi's ears. Xu Jingyi felt her ears itching at this time and moved her body uncomfortably.

"Okay, I'll try to relax, but can you tell me what we're here for today? Or do you want to take a picture of something? I'll watch it for you."

Listening to Xu Jingyi's words, Gu Minzheng held Xu Jingyi's hand with a little more strength.

"I'm here to take you shopping. If you like anything, just hold up the sign and don't think about the price."

Xu Jingyi was a little surprised when she heard Gu Minzheng's words. She moved her lips and said, "You brought me shopping today and planned to give it to me."

Gu Minzheng nodded.Xu Jingyi blinked, feeling sweet in her heart.

"You don't need to buy me anything, I don't need anything."

Looking at the smile that could not be concealed on the lips of the woman next to him, Gu Minzheng knew that Xu Jingyi was telling the truth. He smiled and whispered: "Save me some money?"

"You're overthinking. Let's take a look at the lot first." Xu Jingyi didn't expect that Gu Minzheng could think of where to go. Especially with Gu Minzheng's teasing tone, it made people feel weird.

She subconsciously denied it, fearing that Gu Minzheng would say something embarrassing again, so she immediately turned her attention to the stage.

"Okay." Gu Minzheng looked at Xu Jingyi lovingly and said.

The interaction between the two people naturally fell into the eyes of the four people who had been secretly observing them. Several people exchanged glances. Finally, Qin Yi took out his mobile phone and clicked on several group chats.

Qin Yi: "Just now I saw the iron tree blooming."

Wen Zheng: "The four light bulbs are so bright."

Jin Zhe: "My sister-in-law is so beautiful and gentle. She really gives me an advantage over my second brother."

The phone in his pocket was vibrating constantly. Gu Minzheng looked at the four people who were busy with their heads down from the corner of his eye. He took out his phone and clicked it a few times before putting it in his pocket.

"Whose idea?"

With just these few words, the lively group chat message immediately stopped. Several people glanced at Gu Minzheng secretly and put away their mobile phones in a wise manner.

After all, if Gu Minzheng really wanted to settle a score with them, they wouldn't be able to live with it.

Xu Jingyi didn't know about the lawsuits between several people. It was her first time to participate in the auction. To be honest, it felt quite fresh. Listening to the host introducing the origin and production of each item, it felt like listening to a story.

However, although she listened carefully, she was actually not very interested in the items being auctioned.

Gu Minzheng had been paying attention to Xu Jingyi. Seeing her lack of interest, Gu Minzheng frowned slightly and took out his phone again. He saw the phone vibrated in Qin Yi's hand.

Qin Yi subconsciously turned on the screen, turned to look at Gu Minzheng, and then lowered his head to type on his phone.

"There is probably nothing in today's auction that you can like, but I don't know if my sister-in-law likes jade. I just bought a set of top-quality jade jewelry from Myanmar."

Gu Minzheng couldn't control Xu Jingyi's preferences now. He fell silent for a moment after seeing the message sent by Qin Yi. He raised his eyes and glanced at the little woman beside him, then lowered his head and typed: "Go get it."

Qin Yi glanced at Gu Minzheng when he saw the news, nodded, then quietly stood up and walked backstage, and came back soon with a dark green velvet jewelry box.

He handed the box to Gu Minzheng.

Gu Minzheng touched Xu Jingyi's arm. Xu Jingyi felt it and turned to look at Gu Minzheng and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

"No one is interested in the ones above, let's see if you like this set?"

Gu Minzheng said as he opened the box in his hand. The moment the box was opened, a set of top-quality jade jewelry appeared in Xu Jingyi's sight.

Even if Xu Jingyi didn't know much about jade, she could tell the difference of this set of jade at a glance. She blinked and looked at Gu Minzheng: "Are you going to give me this set of jade?"

"do not like?"
