Chapter 22

Lin Miao was very jealous that the woman's figure was better than hers, and subconsciously thought how could that woman possibly be Shu Xia.

"Dad, it only looks one or two parts similar, how could Sister possibly know Qiao?"

That woman didn't look like a decent woman at all; dressing so brightly was just to seduce Qiao Muting.

And the clothes on her body might even be a high-end imitation.

Lin Guanda took another look, "It was indeed a mistake, now it looks nothing like her at all."

At this moment, Shu Xia did not know that Lin Guanda and Lin Miao were also here; after she sat down with Qiao Muting, it was only a few minutes before the first item began to be auctioned.

"What is it that Grandmother wants?" Shu Xia asked Qiao Muting.

After looking at a few auction items, she felt a bit tired.

And she felt a little lightheaded; she thought it was probably because she had been busy these past few days and her body couldn't take it, which was also a sequela of frequently donating blood before.

Qiao Muting turned his head to look at Shu Xia; due to his height advantage, even sitting down he was half a head taller than her, and because of her dress, a slight turn of his head brought her alluring parts into his view.

This dress...

It doesn't suit her to wear.

"A diamond ring," he replied in a cold, deep voice.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a man nearby looking toward Shu Xia.

There was a wanton scrutiny in those eyes.

Qiao Muting's face darkened, and a cold, chilling gaze swept over.

When the man saw that the man beside Shu Xia was Qiao Muting, he immediately withdrew his presumptuous gaze, while feeling a bit regretful in his heart.

It was rare to see a woman who gave him ideas and a reaction at first sight, yet she was Qiao Muting's person.

But, hasn't Qiao Muting never had women around him?

If she were just a female companion accompanying him to the auction, Qiao Muting's look just now shouldn't have been a warning...

It was time for the next auction item, which was an Ancient Painting.

After the staff introduced the origin of the Ancient Painting, the bidding began.

Shu Xia was a bit surprised when she saw the painting; Zhang Dechun was very fast, actually sending the painting to the auction house so quickly.

In fact, she also really wanted to know how much money the painting she sold for 500,000 could be auctioned for today.

Seeing Shu Xia staring intently at the Ancient Painting, Qiao Muting remembered the suitcase she brought when she moved to Xinghai Villa; there seemed to be a scroll of a painting on top of that suitcase.

Interested in these Ancient Paintings?

"Want this painting?" Qiao Muting asked in a low voice.

Shu Xia shook her head: "No."

If she doesn't want it, why is she looking at it so intently?

Very hypocritical.

Qiao Muting still kept a cold face.

Lin Guanda stared at the painting with some confusion in his eyes, "Why does it feel like I've seen this painting somewhere before?"

"There are many similar ones among these Ancient Paintings, but I also feel a bit familiar, like..." As Lin Miao spoke, she thought of the painting that used to hang in the Lin Family.

It was the painting Shu Xia gave to her mother, which her mother didn't even look at twice; it was just like this painting.

"Impossible, how could this be." Lin Miao immediately denied the guess.

That painting of Shu Xia's must have been bought on Pinduoduo, 9.9 【yuan】 at most.

A painting that can enter an auction house is not something Shu Xia can come into contact with.

"What's impossible?" Lin Guanda asked.

"Nothing, Dad, such a painting has actually been bid up to two million!" Lin Miao was shocked after hearing the current price.

Lin Guanda didn't understand paintings, but just now a flash of inspiration hit him, and he thought of the painting that used to hang in the corner of their home, which seemed exactly the same as this painting.

"Three million!" Qiao Muting suddenly bid.

Shu Xia looked at Qiao Muting abruptly, "You like this painting?"

She sold it for 500,000, and now it was being driven up to three million by Qiao Muting.

This painter's works had never been auctioned for more than two million!
