The auction venue is very large. It is not a closed auction but a social-oriented auction.

A group of brightly dressed men and women walked around the auction, holding wine glasses.

Some come to discuss business, some to reminisce about the past, and some to make more connections.

After Yuan Shenghe came in, he did not immediately greet others. With his current status and position, there was no need for him to take the initiative.

He held Ji Yu's hand and, led by the venue waiter, sat at a table in the front row.

Yuan Shenghe looked at his watch. "The auction doesn't start until 3 o'clock. Do you want something to eat?"

"Fruits and cakes." Ji Yu said without hesitation. He didn't need to socialize. It would be too boring not to eat in such an occasion.

Yuan Shenghe asked the waiter to bring some fruits and desserts.

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Yuan. I'll bring it over right away."

As soon as the waiter left, someone came over after a while.

Ji Yu took a sip of water and noticed that Yuan Sheng and a woman behind him were walking towards them.

The woman was very beautiful, wearing a dark blue satin evening gown, the simple yet elegant lines of the gown perfectly framing her figure.

She was wearing a pair of silver high heels and holding a small handbag, which was particularly dazzling under the light.

Yuan Shenghe looked back in the direction he was looking, and the woman just walked over and stopped not far from them.

"Mr. Yuan, long time no see. I wonder if you still remember me?" The woman met Yuan Shenghe's gaze and nodded slightly, appearing very well-mannered.

When Ji Yu heard this, he thought it was some rich girl who was eyeing Yuan Shenghe again.

"Of course I remember, you are Chairman Yan's daughter, Yan Xunxue." Yuan Shenghe said her name calmly.

Ji Yu was surprised. It turned out that she was Yan Xunxue.

Her facial features were of a soft and pretty kind, and she looked non-aggressive.

At first glance, it was a little hard to imagine that she would say such strong words on the chat app yesterday.

"Actually, I came to look for Ji Yu." Yan Xunxue looked at Ji Yu, who had a confused expression, and smiled slightly.

"I heard that you would come to the auction today, so I thought I must come to see you and say thank you to you in person."

Ji Yu waved his hand and said, "You already said it on WeChat yesterday."

"Mr. Ji thinks this is a piece of cake, but this matter is very important to me."

Yan Xunxue's tone was firm.

"Thank you so much for what happened at the Blue Blood Club yesterday."

After she broke up with Han Shiming, Zhuang Yue went to Han Shiming to make trouble several times. Later, whenever they appeared in public, they would be subject to rumors.

They became the vicious women in the eyes of others.

Yan Xunxue doesn't care about her reputation, but she does care if people who care about her get hurt.

"Well, I received your thanks, but forget about the thank-you gift."

Every item in this auction is very valuable, and Ji Yu hopes that she won't waste her money.

Yan Xunxue just smiled, didn't say yes, and didn't say anything about giving him a thank-you gift.

"Did you two come to the auction this time and find something you like?"

Ji Yu raised his eyebrows. It seemed that she still refused to give up.

Yan Xunxue smiled gently, "Don't get me wrong, I'm just asking casually. If there's anything you like, I'll ask some of my friends not to get involved."

She didn't say this to look down on Yuan Shenghe's strength, but once more people compete for it, the price of the item will easily be raised.

"We just come here to see the excitement and we may not buy anything." Ji Yu told the truth.

Yan Xunxue didn't ask any further questions after hearing this. "In that case, I wish you a happy auction."

Yan Xunxue didn't disturb them and left after saying this.

"She seems both strong and fragile." Ji Yu felt that Yan Xunxue was a somewhat contradictory person.

"This is not surprising. The daughter of a noble family has a more or less tough character. She came here this time, in addition to taking a thank-you gift for you, it is probably also for Han Shiming."

Yuan Shenghe picked up the cup and took a sip of hot tea.

Ji Yu's gaze returned to him, "Are you saying that she hasn't let go of Han Shiming yet?"

"That's not necessarily true. There are many antiques at this auction. Yan Xunxue was once Han Shiming's fiancée, so she should know the situation of the Han family."

Ji Yu's eyes lit up, "You mean the antiques that the Han family has been looking for will appear at this auction? But how did you know?"

He remembered things about the Han family, and Yuan Shenghe only learned about it after returning to the capital.

"Look to the left, at about 45 degrees," Yuan Shenghe suggested.

Ji Yu looked over immediately and soon caught sight of Han Shiming in the crowd.

But Han Shiming is not the most important one. There is also a middle-aged man next to him.

The middle-aged man had a face that was 50% similar to Han Shiming's, but his expression was more dignified and severe, and there was an unquestionable seriousness in his whole body.

He immediately guessed that this man should be Han Shiming's father.

"His father coming here doesn't mean anything, right? It's normal for him to attend such an important occasion."

"This time, not only Han Song and his son came, but Han Song's brother Han Cheng also came."

Ji Yu's mind was working rapidly, and he seemed to understand something.

After he returned to the villa, he asked the housekeeper about the Han family and found out that Han Shiming's father was not the only elder in the Han family, but Han Shiming also had an uncle.

Neither his father nor his uncle inherited the old man's estate. It is said that the old man's will mentioned that whoever can find all the lost antiques will be the head of the Han family and inherit his estate.

It was an auction related to antiques, and the two people showed up at the same time. There was a high probability that this auction would contain antiques that the Han family had lost.

"I have a question. If they each find a few of the seven antiques, how should they be calculated?"

"Didn't Qu Zuo say before that among the seven antiques that the Han family has not yet recovered, one is the most important. This antique is likely to play a decisive role."

"Wouldn't it be better to just retrieve the antique that played a decisive role?" Ji Yu asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Yuan Shenghe did not respond immediately. Ji Yu was about to ask more when he caught a glimpse of Han Song and his son coming over.
