396. The wealthy and willful Lin Guilian looked at Qiao Nian with a smile on her face, but there was no trace of a smile in those eyes. There was a chill and hatred in them. Although Lin Guilian concealed it very well, Qiao Nian still felt it.

Mayor Tangtang's wife was sent to prison, which was a stain on Lin Guilian, adding a monument of shame to her perfect life.

If you don't hate it, that's strange.

"Indeed, we haven't seen each other for a long time." Lin Guilian shook the goblet in her hand unhurriedly, her gaze fell on Qiao Nian's exquisite face.

In two years, they have all changed.

She was defeated, her face was worn out in prison, no matter how much she rested, no matter how many beauty parlors she went to, she would not be able to get it back, but the woman in front of her was in her most beautiful years.

Compared with two years ago, she lost her youthful vigor and became more beautiful as a professional woman. At the same time, it also gave her a bit of style, like a ripe peach, delicious and attractive.

"Is Boss Lu okay?"

"Thank you for your concern." Qiao Nian was still smiling, and looked forward, "I met an acquaintance, excuse me."

Seeing the back of Qiao Nian leaving, the corner of Lin Guilian's mouth twitched, but there was a raging hatred hidden in her lowered eyes.

As soon as Qiao Nian left, Xie Wanying walked over.

"Mom, was that person just now Qiao Nian?"

Lin Guilian looked up, looked at her daughter who was coming, smiled, nodded and said, "Meet me, say hello."

Hearing this, Xie Wanying frowned, "Mom, she has treated you like that, why are you still saying hello to her? Don't forget, you are still the mayor's wife. If you don't take the initiative to say hello, no one will say hello to you." .”

She, Qiao Nian, is a character, but her mother's status is not low.

That incident back then was well blocked, except for a few insiders who knew about it, it was announced that my mother had gone abroad.

"We are together in Jin. City, some things are unavoidable." Lin Guilian smiled and held Xie Wanying's hand, "Mr. Xu and Lu Man seem to be here too. Pay attention and don't lose your demeanor."

Xie Wanying snorted arrogantly, "As long as they don't come to provoke me, I will naturally not lower my status and take the initiative to provoke them."

"That's good." Lin Guilian nodded, "Let's go over there, the auction will start soon."

The acquaintance Qiao Nian was talking about was Qin Lian.

"Qin Lian..." Qiao Nian called out.

Qin Lian happened to look over while drinking, "Mrs. Lu..."

"I thought I wouldn't meet anyone I knew, but I didn't expect to meet you so soon." Jian Yunnuan and Mo Shiyu were not interested in charity events, neither of them came.

"How could I not come to such a good event?" Qin Lian smiled, looked around, but did not see Lu Youqing's figure, and joked, "You are so beautifully dressed, Mr. Lu can rest assured that you are alone?"

"Wife with a wife, there is nothing to worry about."

As soon as the words fell, Qiao Nian was bumped from behind. The two who were chatting happily did not notice that Qiao Nian staggered and fell towards Qin Lian in front.

The sound of 'ding..' was the sound of goblets colliding with each other.

When the two stabilized their bodies, the red wine in the glass had already been spilled all over their bodies.

Qiao Nian's white evening dress was stained with reddish liquid, which was particularly eye-catching, while Qin Lian's evening dress was black, so it couldn't be seen.

"I'm sorry, I, I didn't mean to."

Qiao Nian looked over, only to see Tang Shiqing wearing a red dress, looking at herself and Qin Lian apologetically.

She said how could the voice be so familiar, she didn't expect it to be an 'acquaintance'.

Tang Shiqing recognized Qiao Nian, her expression changed slightly, she bit her lip, and looked at Qiao Nian with some anxiety, "Auntie...I..."

Qiao Nian's expression was a bit complicated, and after taking a deep breath, she said calmly, "There are many people at the banquet, Miss Tang, be careful, don't bump into anyone again."

"I..."

"Okay." Qiao Nian interrupted her, "I didn't mean to blame you, you go back to your family, don't let them worry."

Tang Shiqing looked at Qiao Nian and then at Qin Lian, then turned and left.

Qin Lian looked at Qiao Nian, "How could it be such a coincidence?"

Qiao Nian shook her head, her eyes fell on her skirt, her brows furrowed, "Let's go change our clothes first, we can't stay until the banquet is over like this."

An eight-year-old girl, even if she did it on purpose, she would not accuse her of anything. What's more, in such an occasion, if she is careless, it is easy to be confused by others.

Evening dresses are available for the banquet in case of emergency.

After Qiao Nian and Qin Lian changed their dresses, Qi Qi took a picture in the floor-to-ceiling mirror, Qiao Nian sighed, "I still look good in my own."

"Let's make do with it first." Qin Lian put on lipstick, "Let's hurry up, the auction should be about to start."

As soon as Qiao Nian came out of the locker room, she bumped into Tang Shen.

Tang Shen was the old man's special assistant. Now that Lu Youqing took over the Lu family, Tang Shen became Lu Youqing's special assistant.

"Madam, the boss is looking for you everywhere."

"Isn't he with Lawyer Chu and Yunxi?" Why did you find her so soon?

"Madam, the boss cannot do without you." Tang said with a deep smile.

Seeing this, Qin Lian hurriedly said, "Boss Lu is looking for someone, so I'll leave first."

"Okay." Qiao Nian smiled back.

When Tang Shen knew that Lu Youqing was about to take over the Lu family, he began to pay close attention to Lu Youqing. When he knew that the new boss didn't like the Jiang family, he felt a little alienated when he saw Qin Lian.

Unfortunately, my wife and Qin Lian are on good terms.

The boss has not been here for the past three years. Apart from Jian Yunnuan and Mo Shiyu, Qin Lian is the wife who moves around most frequently.

"Ma'am, your dress..." It seems that you didn't wear this one when you came here.

"It got dirty by accident." Qiao Nian replied simply, "Let's go, don't keep Lu Youqing waiting."

Charity night, lights and shadows crisscross, fragrance floating, very lively.

The people who came were all famous, and when they met acquaintances, Qiao Nian would exchange a few words with them. By the time he saw Lu Youqing, it was already half an hour later.

"Why so long?" Boss Lu looked at Qiao Nian sadly, with dissatisfaction in his eyes.

"I met a handsome guy, let's talk a little more." Qiao Nian said deliberately with a perfect smile.

Sure enough, Lu Youqing frowned, pulled Qiao Nian over domineeringly, held her hand, and entwined his fingers, "If I don't clean you up for a few days, your skin will itch, right?"

"So what?" Qiao Nian looked at him provocatively, "It doesn't cost money to look at handsome guys, it's not worth it."

With a sound of 'snap', Lu Youqing patted her butt not lightly but not hard.

Qiao Nian blushed and couldn't help staring, "What are you doing?"

Tang Shen is still there.

Shame.

"No reason, try flexibility." Lu Youqing looked at Qiao Nian innocently, but there was a strange flash in his eyes, "Well, I feel pretty good."

Tang Shen stood aside, so embarrassed.

Boss is a jealous vat, even if his wife just talks casually, he can still be jealous.

Can't someone who is so awesome be more generous?

"Boss, the auction has started, I'll go get ready first."

After Tang Shen left, Qiao Nian pinched Lu Youqing's waist directly, "Can't you pay attention, I'm also the chairman of kn now anyway."

"You're still Mrs. Lu." Lu Youqing went upstairs to her waist, resting his chin on her shoulder, looking at the night outside the window, and asked casually, "I remember when you came here, you weren't wearing this suit, How did you change it?"

"Accidentally got dirty."

"En." Lu Youqing responded softly, hugged her quietly, and didn't speak.

After a while, Qiao Nian let go of his hand and turned around, "I heard that the finale is a famous painting, let's go and see it too."

.....

At the auction, when Lu Youqing led Qiao Nian in, everyone was already bidding.

Jian Yunchen held up a card and raised the price frequently, as if he was bound to win.

Curious, Qiao Nian leaned into Lu Youqing's ear and asked softly, "What are you bidding on now?"

After Lu Youqing took Qiao Nian to sit down, Tang Shen, the special assistant, handed over the item list for the auction. Qiao Nian took it over and took a look. It was a fan from the Qing Dynasty.

The fan will not be too expensive, but judging from the current price increase, it will be a considerable amount at the end of the auction.

Looking at the list, Qiao Nian found that there was a pair of crowns inside, which was pretty nice.

"My wife has good eyesight. This crown was Queen Elizabeth's favorite item when she did not inherit the throne. It is said that Elizabeth donated her beloved crown to support a donation of great significance. No, it will appear here today."

Qiao Nian was taken aback for a moment, but she didn't expect it to belong to Queen Elizabeth. She was curious, "Does this crown have any special meaning?"

At that time, the crown represented power and status, but the queen donated it.

"I didn't know what it meant at the time, but now the crown represents happiness and is unique."

Seeing that Qiao Nian seemed to like it very much, Lu Youqing asked softly, "Like it?"

"En." Joe nodded.

"Then let's take a picture of it."

After waiting for a long time, it was finally the crown's turn to bid.

Tang Shen frequently held up the sign and bid for a long time, but there were still many people competing.

Qiao Nian raised her eyes inadvertently, and saw Xie Wanying who was sitting not far away looked at her with provocative eyes, and Mrs. Tang was also bidding.

"The current price has exceeded expectations, so let's not shoot." She likes the crown, but it doesn't mean she likes to spend money.

The price is ridiculously high.

"Don't fight for steamed buns." Lu Youqing held her hand and said domineeringly, "Our family has money, so what are you afraid of?"
