The real daughter's eyes turned red, and the big guys went crazy

The waitress was carrying a few glasses of champagne to distribute to the guests in need. When she passed by Qiao Xi, she accidentally sprained her ankle. The next second, she grabbed Qiao Xi's dress.

Qiao Xi was nearly knocked down by the sudden pull, but luckily Li Jingshen was quick enough to catch her, and she fell squarely on his arms. Fortunately, he dodged in time, and the wine on the plate did not spill on her.

Li Jingshen supported her and said, "Are you okay?"

Qiao Xi stood up and adjusted her skirt. "It's okay. Thank you for what I did just now."

The waiter stood aside trembling, "Sorry, sorry, I didn't step firmly just now."

Chu Lan said angrily, "How did you do this? Is there anyone who does things this way?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm new here and not very familiar with the place. How about I kneel down and apologize?" The waiter's face flushed, and he was shocked and scared.

"Forget it, just be more careful next time." Qiao Xi certainly couldn't let her kneel down and apologize, lest she be used by someone with ulterior motives. She supported the waitress and whispered in her ear, "Who asked you to pull my skirt?"

The waiter was shocked. "No, no, it was really my fault. No one told me to do that. No..."

"Did I say someone was instructing me?" Qiao Xi raised his eyes and looked at Shen Ruyue.

Shen Ruyue walked over with a false tone, "Are you okay?"

With her around, the waitress didn't dare to say a word and her body kept shaking, as if telling everyone how scared she was.

Qiao Xi looked at the waitress's work badge and asked her to leave first.

Shen Ruyue looked at Qiao Xi's dress with surprise in her eyes. Could it be that the waiter didn't pull it hard enough?

Qiao Xi kept smiling and pushed her to a place with fewer people. "It's strange why my dress didn't come apart, right?"

Shen Ruyue's heart sank. She actually found out? "I don't understand what you are saying."

"You were the one who asked the waitress to pull my skirt on purpose, right?" Qiao Xi held a silver needle between her fingers and raised her hand to prick Shen Ruyue's neck.

Shen Ruyue was in so much pain that she broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, she was calm and experienced and did not scream. She also did not dare to speak loudly, "What did you do to me!"

Qiao Xi pulled out the silver needle and said, "Tell me, how many times can that waiter bear being stabbed by me?"

"What do you mean?" Shen Ruyue touched her neck, "What kind of magic did you use?"

Qiao Xi, "Of course it's a magic trick used to deal with demons and monsters. I really don't understand why you have to go against me? You even tampered with my dress."

Shen Ruyue pretended to laugh out loud, "How did I tamper with your dress? Do you have any evidence? If you don't have any, don't talk nonsense."

But she saw Chu Lan on the phone, and she was a little scared. Chu Lan was the daughter of the Chu family, and the Chu family had underworld background. If the waitress was really caught and she turned her over, Long Junye might fire her.

"Anyway, I have nothing to fear. I haven't done anything wrong. Don't try to accuse me."

Shen Ruyue walked aside and sent a message to the waitress, asking her to insist that she had touched Qiao Xi accidentally and that no one had instructed her to do so.

She deleted the message immediately after sending it. She just didn't understand how Qiao Xi discovered that the dress was untied when she was so secretive.

Qiao Xi walked back to Chu Lan and looked around the venue. The host had already announced the start of the auction, but she still didn't see Long Junye. He didn't call her either. In fact, she wanted him to see how she looked in a dress.

When the host finished introducing the first auction item, Gao Han came and looked at Qiao Xi from a distance and nodded as a greeting.

Long Yuchen also just arrived and wanted to look for Chu Lan, but when he saw that there was no seat next to Chu Lan, he had to find another place.

"Brother Yuchen!" Gu Wenqian ran over, seeming to have forgotten that she had just been humiliated by him a few days ago, "Brother Yuchen, is there anything you want to buy today?"

Long Yuchen said perfunctorily, "I don't know yet."

He came with a purpose. He had already thought about what he wanted to shoot, and he was determined to get it.

"Brother Yuchen, are you no longer angry?" Gu Wenqian raised her chest and rubbed against him. "This is the new dress I bought. Does it look good?"

Long Yuchen turned his head and glanced, then moved to the side. "As long as you like it."

"I like it very much. My father bought it for me. What do you think of it?" Gu Wen Qian looked at him eagerly.

"I don't care." Long Yuchen moved his gaze to the stage.

The first auction item has been bought, and now the second item, an ancient painting, has also been sold.

The host raised his voice for the third auction item. "This is the Purple Dragon King Ginseng from Phoenix Mountain. This Purple Dragon King Ginseng is extremely rare. It is over 500 years old and can be called the King of Ginseng. It is a rare treasure that is rarely seen in a century. It was donated by a highly respected old Chinese medicine practitioner. The starting price is 10 million..."

Chu Lan was surprised. "The King of Ginseng from Phoenix Mountain? Could it be donated by Mr. Medicine King?"

Qiao Xi stared at the ginseng thoughtfully. How dare he call himself the 'King of Ginseng'?

As soon as the host finished speaking, Li Jingshen raised the sign, "Eleven million!"

The host shouted at the top of his voice, "Eleven million!"

Long Yuchen also raised a sign, "Twelve million!"

Li Jingshen raised the sign again, "Fifteen million!"

Long Yuchen frowned. Was Li Jingshen deliberately going against him?

In addition to the two of them, other people were also bidding, and in a few minutes the price of this ginseng king soared to 20 million.

Li Jingshen was still holding up the sign, "Twenty-five million!"

Qiao Xi reacted and walked to Li Jingshen. "Mr. Li, don't be fooled. That is not the Purple Dragon King Ginseng. It is just a wild ginseng. It is not as exaggerated as 500 years old. It is at most 300 years old. It has a certain effect on prolonging life and conditioning the body. It is okay to buy it for 10 million. It is not cost-effective to buy more than that."

Li Jingshen was still planning to continue bidding, but after hearing what she said, he became curious, "How did Miss Qiao know?"

Qiao Xi explained, "I have been following my master into the mountains to collect herbs since I was a child. I have seen a lot of wild ginseng and other varieties. I have also seen detailed records and pictures of the Purple Yun Dragon King Ginseng in ancient books."

The master said that only two purple dragon king ginsengs that were more than 500 years old had been dug up in Medicine King Valley so far. One of them was dug up by Qiao Xi’s ancestor hundreds of years ago and had already been made into pills.

Another one was found by the King of Medicine Hua Hui twenty years ago. It was because of that ginseng that the Baihua Yuchan Pills could be made.

Li Jingshen was a little hesitant. If he hadn't had a good impression of Qiao Xi from the beginning, he would even suspect that Qiao Xi was making trouble.

Chu Lan followed and said, "Boss Li, you are right to listen to Qiao Xi. She has done a lot of research on medicinal herbs. If she says it's not the right answer, then it's definitely not the right answer."

Long Yuchen and other bidders have already bid up to 30 million. He also looked at Li Jingshen on purpose. Li Jingshen and Long Junye are good brothers, and their relationship is just ordinary.

Seeing Long Yuchen's burning eyes, Qiao Xi asked Li Jingshen to bid again, "Just bid up to thirty-five million."

Li Jingshen was puzzled, "Why?"

Qiao Xi, "Long Yuchen looks determined to win. If you don't bid, he won't be interested."

Li Jingshen felt that Qiao Xi was setting a trap for Long Yuchen. He knew how badly Long Yuchen's family had treated Long Junye, so he called out the price again, "Thirty-five million!"

Chu Lan was a little panicked, "What if Long Yuchen doesn't answer?"

Wouldn't that mean you're being taken advantage of?
