After the divorce, I became a rich girl

When Li Jiawei heard what Xiao Yi said, she slowly stood up from his arms and gently exhaled, as if she wanted to let out all the annoyance in her heart.

Then she took a few deep breaths, adjusted her state, and pulled up a perfect, gentle and appropriate smile on the corner of her mouth. She looked straight at Xiao Yi with a hint of inquiry in her eyes: "Look, am I in okay condition now? Can I go out and see people?" As she spoke, she subconsciously raised her hand to adjust the hem of her skirt.

Xiao Yi smiled gently, raised his hand, and carefully wiped off Li Jiawei's smudged eye makeup with his fingertips, his movements as gentle as if he was treating a rare treasure.

Then, he carefully tidied up her slightly curled hair. After doing all this, he leaned forward slightly and placed a gentle kiss on her brow, his voice full of love: "Very beautiful, no matter when, you are irreplaceable in my eyes."

Li Jiawei was warmed by Xiao Yi's warmth and smiled: "Let's take pictures of two paintings and leave!"

She knew in her heart that no matter how much estrangement she felt in her heart now, she was still Jing Qiu's daughter outside.

This is the first auction of Jing Qiu's paintings' first national tour. If I don't attend to show my support, people will definitely talk about it.

It would have been fine if she had just endured those rumors, but her status is different now. She has a husband, and she also has Sui Sui and Nian Nian.

When she thought of her children, Li Jiawei's eyes instantly became soft and firm.

She has to consider her own small family. In this circle, she must not let her children suffer from the criticism of others because of her in the future.

She could not make up for her past regrets, she had a weak relationship with her biological parents, and the lost family affection could never be restored.

But in the days to come, she will do her best to pour all her unreserved maternal love on her children.

At this moment, the auction hall was brightly lit, and the paintings on display on the stage included not only Jing Qiu's, but also works by other painters.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that most of these paintings are just a foil to Jing Qiu's works.

Jing Qiu has a high reputation in the painting world. As soon as her works were unveiled, they became the focus of the audience and attracted everyone's attention.

However, for those painters who are far less famous than Jing Qiu, being able to participate in such an event is already a very rare opportunity for them.

Jing Qiu used this exhibition to provide these little-known painters with a stage for others to see their talents, giving them the opportunity to shine and earning a reputation for promoting younger generations.

These painters use the exhibitions held by Jingqiu to bring their own paintings to the market, which not only increases their own popularity but also earns them a considerable income.

After all, not all painters are as financially strong as Jing Qiu, so such cooperation is undoubtedly a win-win situation.

When the auction officially opened, the first work to appear was Jing Qiu's painting "Mother and Daughter" created twenty years ago.

At the auction, Li Jiawei sat in the front row, staring intently at the painting that became the focus of the entire venue.

The warm yellow light poured down and spread evenly on the canvas. The scene of the intimate relationship between mother and daughter was depicted vividly. Anyone who took a look at it could truly feel the warm affection flowing between mother and daughter, which warmed their hearts.

"A work from twenty years ago..." Li Jiawei said with some self-mockery. The mother and daughter in the painting are Li Xuanbao and Jing Qiu.

The auctioneer's gavel came down heavily, announcing the start of the bidding.

Almost instantly, Li Xuanbao held up the sign without any hesitation. Everyone present was smart, and who could not see that this painting carried so many indescribable precious memories and special meanings for Li Xuanbao and Jing Qiu?

During the auction, many people also raised their placards, but this was mostly out of politeness and as a formality to avoid making the atmosphere too cold.

Everyone knew that this auction was just a formality. No matter how the bids fluctuated, this painting, which embodied the deep love between mother and daughter, would definitely return to Li Xuanbao in the end.

At the auction, guests gathered in groups of two or three, talking in low voices.

The relationship between Li Jiawei, Li Xuanbao and Jing Qiu is no longer a secret in this circle.

From time to time, their eyes would pretend to be casual and drift towards Li Jiawei's direction, and they would secretly wonder what kind of mood she would be in when she saw the painting.

Xiao Yi was sitting next to Li Jiawei, his heart and eyes filled with unconcealable worry. He subconsciously held her hand tightly, as if he wanted to use the warmth of his palm to dispel the teasing looks surrounding Li Jiawei.

Li Jiawei felt the changes around her, turned her head, met Xiao Yi's gaze, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and whispered in a soothing voice: "Don't worry, I'm really fine."

Li Jiawei sat on Jing Qiu's left, and Li Xuanbao sat on Jing Qiu's right. This position was already delicate, and coupled with the opening auction of a painting full of mother-daughter warmth, anyone who saw it would inevitably have a lot of imagination.

The atmosphere at the scene quietly became a little subtle. Using such a painting to open the show, I really don’t know what Jing Qiu was thinking, and where he wanted to put his own biological daughter!

Jing Qiu seemed to have noticed the awkward atmosphere, his eyes fell on Li Jiawei, his expression was a bit anxious to explain, and he said softly: "Jiawei, don't think too much.

This was painted by my mother more than 20 years ago, and it is also a work that I am very proud of in recent years.

I thought that as the first charity auction of the national tour, bringing out this painting would show more sincerity." His words were full of eagerness to dispel Li Jiawei's concerns.

Li Jiawei met Jing Qiu's gaze, and the smile on her face became more gentle: "Actually, you don't need to explain so much to me, I understand it all."

Li Jiawei understood, she understood everything. She understood Jing Qiu's unreserved preference and tolerance for Li Xuanbao, and also understood the deep affection between them. She saw everything.

As for Jing Qiu, it cannot be said that he does not care about her, but he can only say that he does not care that much. Otherwise, she would have been proud of more than just this one painting over the years. If she wanted to show her sincerity, this would not be the only option!

At the end of the auction, the painting that embodies the love between Li Xuanbao and Jing Qiu was finally bought by Li Xuanbao at a high price of 5.2 million.

This transaction price ranks among the highest in Jing Qiu's past auction records for his works, and it also successfully kicked off this highly anticipated charity auction, drawing thunderous applause from the audience, and the atmosphere was instantly pushed to a climax.

The subsequent auctions proceeded in an orderly manner, and Li Jiawei's behavior became particularly eye-catching. Everyone wanted to know how much money she would contribute to this auction in the end?
