Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Dinner Begins
That emotion quickly disappeared in the eyes of the palace lady, and the woman's eyes brought the usual kindness and gentleness.
Mrs. Gong's subtle emotional changes were keenly captured by Wen Yishu behind Wen Chenghao.
"yes, what a coincidence."
Mrs. Gong stroked her luxurious shawl, "Yishu is so beautiful today, and you are also a good blessing to have such a well-behaved and lovely daughter." The woman in front of her said in a gentle tone.
"Haha, thank you Madame for your love, and I will ask Madame to take care of us more in the future."
Wen Chengmiao laughed twice heartily with a flattering smile on his face.
"Gong Dashao is not going to participate in the banquet tonight, we can also Shu Ke has been thinking about seeing Yibei."
In order to hug the thigh of the palace family, Wen Chengmiao was tight, and he did not miss any opportunity to promote the marriage of the two families.
When Wen Yishu heard this, he became more and more disdainful of his father, but he didn't show a single cent on his face, but blushed and bowed his head in a shy manner.
Mrs. Gong looked at the father and daughter in front of her, and her disgust was even worse.
"Yibei is busy with something, I may not be able to attend today's dinner, Yishu is really embarrassed, I want to disappoint you." The pair of slightly regretful eyes looked at Wen Yishu, looking like a gentle and noble woman.
At this time, two elegant ladies walked towards them, "Isn't this Mrs. Gong, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are getting younger and younger, you are so beautiful that you envy us to death." ”
A lady in a light blue dress graciously grabbed the palace lady's wrist.
"It's been a long time since I've seen Madame, I'm so happy to see you here, we'll have a drink later."
Another lady wearing a plain cheongsam smiled and covered her red lips with her hands, and her eyes swept over Wen Yishu and Wen Chengmiao.
These two ladies are Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Zhao.
Mrs. Gong was already impatient to deal with Wen Chengmiao, but because of the unchanged upbringing etiquette, she shirked it, so she was really sleepy at this time and came to send a pillow.
"You two are used to making fun of me." Madame Gong's eyebrows softened a little.
Mrs. Gong nodded elegantly to Wen Yishu and Wen Chengmiao, "I'm really embarrassed, I'm sorry to be with you first." He turned around and left with the two ladies talking and laughing.
Wen Chengmiao bent his body slightly, smiling and watching the three palace ladies leave.
As soon as Wen Changgeng entered the venue, he went to greet the others, and at this time he was surrounded by a group of people, smiling gently.
"Yishu, you will be the young grandmother of the palace family in the future, some people must be known, Dad will take you to say hello."
Wen Chengmiao said that, and walked towards the center of the venue with Wen Yishu.
At the banquet, the people who came were all daughters of famous families, and their combined worth could support half of the sky in China.
"Sister, it's hard for the Wen family's small family to look at it, do you really agree with that little girl to marry into the palace family?" Mrs. Qian shook the champagne in her hand.
"Agreed? How could I possibly agree! Mrs. Gong, who was sitting on the sofa, said with a hint of disdain in her tone, "You have also seen it, the Wen family is a small family, where is it worthy of my palace family?" ”
said, took a sip of the champagne in his hand, "Temperament is not what I like, how can the future young grandmother of the Gong family be as submissive as her, and people will be angry when they see it." ”
"Then why does my sister still let her go back and forth with Yibei, it's all rumored, I heard that Yilang is also very interested in her, and she was seen going out to play together in three days." Mrs. Zhao sat elegantly with her legs folded, and gently stroked her hair between her sideburns.
"I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup she poured into these brothers, one or two of them were fascinated by her, it's really unassuming!" When it came to this, Mrs. Gong held back her anger.
"You guys are really, bring Lian Nan and Shuling to our house and walk around, so that they can see what the real ladies are, so as not to be confused by that fox girl again."
Wen Yishu, who was on the other side, meekly followed Wen Chengmiao at the moment to see the bigwigs in various industries, and he was also a little physically exhausted after a circle.
"Dad, I want to go to the bathroom." Wen Yishu put the wine glass on the table.
Wen Chengmiao was chatting with others, and when he heard Wen Yishu speak, he just waved his hand casually and motioned for her to leave.
Lifting the long skirt, Wen Yishu got up slowly, bowed slightly to the surroundings, and turned around elegantly to leave.
All the bigwigs present sighed in their hearts that this Wen family's eldest lady has an extraordinary temperament.
Wen Yishu walked all the way to the bathroom, the banquet hall was very large, and it took a lot of time along the way.
I don't know if Gong Yibei will come, she couldn't help but think of the dangerous man in her heart while washing her hands.
"I think what he's doing, it's crazy." Wen Yishu was a little annoyed with herself, turned off the faucet and turned around and went back to the banquet hall.
The charity gala is the best place to see something hidden.
For example, the strength of a family.
Although there are no mandatory donations or auctions, it is a very shameful thing to participate in such a party and not get anything at all.
If you don't even have this money, then your strength is the weakest, and the more generous you are, there will naturally be a lot of people who will take care of you.
In addition, throughout the night, the process of this charity gala was filmed by the media, so the person who donated the most will be released on the whole network the next day, and it will also instantly let the whole city know that if he goes to do some industry in the name of a philanthropist, there will be more potential users. Even if many people know that he is not good, they will cooperate with him because of this matter.
So every year, many people go for this opportunity, and those who can be in the limelight try their best.
The first few items of the charity auction are all warm-ups, not too good and too important, and naturally the auction items that are the ones who are weak among the invited guests, but are afraid of losing a bad reputation.
For example, right now, a calligrapher whose name Wen Yishu has never heard of is being auctioned.
"Yishu, there will be a painting in a while, there will only be one painting in this auction, when the time comes, you will take it down, and Dad will go to your brother to explain something." Wen Chengmiao said to the docile eldest daughter who was sitting next to him.
"Okay, I've got it done, go ahead." Wen Yishu obediently agreed.
"You are steadfast and steady, Dad can rest assured." With that, he left.
"Okay, let's congratulate No. 19 on successfully taking this jade eye at a price of 600,000, and the next one, Mr. Li Mu's peony picture, starts at 200,000!"
A slender beauty slowly stepped onto the stage with a peony in her hand.
Wen Yishu remembered Wen Chenghao's advice and raised the number plate in his hand.
"No. 97 once!"
"400,000!"
A delicate voice came from behind Wen Yishu's oblique back.
Wen Yishu frowned slightly, and raised the sign in his hand, "410,000." ”
"700,000!" The voice followed.
If you don't know that this person is deliberately making things difficult, then Wen Yishu will inevitably be stupid. On the contrary, Wen Yishu was very smart, and the moment she heard the voice, she turned around and saw the person who had been raising the price.
It was a gorgeously dressed young woman, and I didn't know whose young lady it was, who was looking at her triumphantly with her chin raised, and rolled her eyes at Wen Yishu when she saw Wen Yishu looking back at her.
Wen Yishu turned his head and continued to hold up the card, "750,000." His voice was calm and unmistakable.
