Top beauties: Beijing bigwigs gathered at Shura Field

Her figure was slender and well-proportioned. Her long, slender calves were so white under the cheongsam skirt that reached her ankles that they seemed to be glowing, and as thin and smooth as porcelain glaze as they went up inch by inch.

The face... not to mention, a face that perfectly interprets pleasing to the eye.

At first glance, you might think that this is a delicate flower that is so pure that it will break at the slightest touch, but its temperament is clearly charming and beautiful to the core.

Even though Yin Xi was a woman, she had no doubt that if the girl in front of her deliberately wanted to seduce someone, it would be difficult for her to fail.

After a long while, Yin Xi sincerely sighed: "Wanwan, you are so beautiful."

Jiang Wan had long been accustomed to Yin Xi's praise and fascination with her appearance. Just looking at Yin Xi's face, which was younger and brighter than in her previous life, she felt as if she was in another world.

A complex expression flashed across her eyes, and after a moment, she smiled gently.

"Sister Xi, thank you."

Yin Xi's heart moved slightly, and for a moment she realized that there seemed to be a deeper meaning in the words "thank you".

But it was only for a moment.

She thought Jiang Wan was just thanking her for bringing her to Linqi Villa. After all, for an event of this level, anyone who came would naturally receive some considerable rewards.

So she patted Jiang Wan's thin shoulders and said seriously: "Wan Wan, with your education and innate conditions, your future is limitless. Protect yourself."

Jiang Wan's heart trembled heavily, and almost instantly he remembered that Yin Xi had said the same thing in his previous life, but at that time, it was just a sincere question.

"Wanwan, with your conditions and your hard work and ability to endure hardships, you should be living a good life. Why do you find your life so hard and tiring?"

How did Jiang Wan respond at that time?

She clearly knew what kind of world this was, but she still answered after a long silence: "Some things may be destined to be like this, without any reason."

As for now, fortunately she has a chance to start over.

"I know, Sister Xi."

Yin Xi nodded then and left some instructions before pushing the door open and leaving.

"Okay, I'll go check out the situation. Apart from the official exhibition hall on the second floor and the auction site, you can look around by yourself, but it's best not to leave the building. If there is any unexpected situation, we will still need someone to cover it."

Jiang Wan nodded.

"Okay, don't worry, Sister Xi."

After Yin Xi left, Jiang Wan looked around and then slowly walked to the window.

The buildings outside the window, rising and falling in height, were majestic and complex, but there was nothing there that Jiang Wan wanted to see.

This lounge is at the end of the corridor on the fourth floor. The entrance can be barely seen, but there are receptionists and waiters waiting for guests on both sides of the entrance, so it is difficult to see clearly.

She thought about it, turned around, pushed the door and left the lounge.

Just now when she came out of the elevator, she caught a glimpse of an arc-shaped viewing balcony on the left side of this floor, which allowed her to see clearly what was happening downstairs.

Jiang Wan waited quietly like this, and as it approached nine o'clock, guests began to arrive gradually.

After all, she was once a student of the Finance Department of Peking University, so she did see a few familiar faces that often appeared on the financial report business website.

Almost all of the people who came were wealthy investors and powerful people from all walks of life, and the entrance was filled with luxury cars.

Although Jiang Wan had seen many bodyguards stationed in various places when he arrived, it was not until this moment that he realized the level of this private auction that did not even invite the media.

Although the Meng family has not been as successful as before in the past two years, it is still an old family that started out in jewelry and still has a certain status in the industry. Naturally, they are still among the invited guests.

Coincidentally, just when Jiang Wan thought of the Meng family, a car just stopped at the entrance.

The middle-aged man who slowly walked out of the car was Meng Huainian.

If you don't know the inside story, Meng Huainian, who is dressed in a suit and tie, does have a rather deceptive face, with a high nose bridge and elegant temperament. He should be in his forties but he doesn't look old at all and still has the handsomeness of his youth.

Jiang Wan just watched quietly as his figure gradually disappeared at the entrance of the hall under the guidance of the waiter, with almost no emotion in his eyes and eyebrows.

There was silence for a long time. Seeing that it was almost ten o'clock, Jiang Wan took a deep breath and prepared to turn around and leave.

But the scene she caught a glimpse of the next moment made her stop in her tracks.

The black Bentley was quite common among the luxury cars that had just appeared, but the special thing was the license plate, which started with Beijing A, followed by the extremely eye-catching 00009.

In addition, the tall and strong bodyguards who were originally waiting on both sides of the road turned to wait by the door the moment the car appeared, and the calm atmosphere obviously became tense at this moment.

Jiang Wan's thick eyelashes trembled slightly.

What kind of person is this...

The first person to get off the car was a man in his thirties sitting in the passenger seat. He wore gold-rimmed glasses and had a gentle yet just the right smile on his lips.

He walked straight to the other side and opened the car door. The tall and strong bodyguards also moved closer to him at this time.

Unfortunately, the man who walked out of the car was too tall. Even with the bodyguards blocking his view, Jiang Wan was able to see the man clearly from a high vantage point.

And the moment he saw it clearly, even Jiang Wan's breathing paused slightly, and he was actually panicked for a moment.

To be honest, the man has a face that is absolutely unforgettable, with a high nose bridge, deep brow bones, and excellent skin and bones.

But it was precisely this man with an extremely warm, heavy and pure aura that made Jiang Wan, who only took a glance at him, inexplicably feel a sense of fear.

This power is obviously not intentional, but innate.

Jiang Wan suddenly realized that this might be a real superior.

Just as she had this guess, the man seemed to have noticed something. He raised his slightly closed eyelids and glanced at her lightly.

The moment their eyes met, Jiang Wan's heart almost skipped a beat. She felt that the other person's eyes were calm and gentle, yet so real that she felt as if she had nowhere to hide.

When she reacted again, she had already instinctively lowered her eyes, completely avoiding his gaze.

This was definitely not someone she could easily provoke now.

After this thought came to his mind, Jiang Wan, who was slow to react, took a few steps back, turned around and prepared to return to the lounge.

However, he didn't expect that when he turned around, he almost bumped into someone's chest.

Jiang Guan staggered two steps subconsciously. When she remembered that she was wearing a pair of extremely thin high heels today, the tingling pain in her ankle made her groan.

She vaguely smelled the scent of ebony on the other person and felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. When she looked up again, she saw a familiar face.

"Shen Yan..."

The young man in front of her who was looking at her with half-lowered eyes and slightly frowned eyebrows, who else could it be but Shen Yan.

The difference from the last time in the China World Mall was that Shen Yan was now wearing a black shirt and dark gray trousers. He actually had the same aura as when she met him in her previous life. The only thing that remained unchanged was his outstanding features.

She almost forgot that the Shen family was also a family with a strong background in Beijing, so it was not surprising that they appeared here.

In fact, Shen Yan had never been interested in auctions. The reason he came here was entirely because Mr. Liang, who organized this private auction, was a good friend of his grandfather who had known each other for many years.

Of course we have to give face to old friends.

But Mr. Liang specifically mentioned that he hadn't seen Shen Yan for a long time, so the old man naturally took the opportunity to promise to bring his grandson to the auction to show his support.

What Shen Yan didn't expect was that he would see Jiang Wan here. Based on her clothes, Shen Yan could roughly guess why she appeared here.

Actually, he knew her name from his good friend Zheng Yu.

Even Shen Yan himself didn't know why he remembered her name so clearly.

Compared to this, he remembered even more clearly the girl's pair of dark and bright eyes. When she smiled lightly, an indescribable sense of bewitching emerged from the bottom of her eyes.

Shen Yan's intuition told him that this girl was definitely not as fragile as she appeared, and he probably shouldn't get too close to her.

But the moment he saw her back, Shen Yan recognized her and stopped.

But at this moment, the girl seemed to see something that frightened her. She staggered back a few steps and almost fell into his arms.

Shen Yan held her slender arm completely subconsciously, but his breathing tightened slightly the moment their skin touched.

The touch of his hands was too smooth, as if they had no bones, which made Shen Yan suspect that he would hurt her if he used just a little force.

So as soon as he saw her standing firm, he immediately let go.

After Jiang Wan raised her slightly dazed and watery eyes and called out his name, Shen Yan finally calmed down, looked out the window, lowered his eyes and said, "Sorry."

It was evidently he who had given her the second fright.

Jiang Wan shook his head.

"I was too flustered and didn't notice there was someone behind me. I'm fine. I'll just sit down and relax later."

She really only had a slight sprain, and it was only painful for a moment, not a big deal, not even half as unbearable as standing for hours as a receptionist in her previous life.

Shen Yan pursed his lips, and his tone softened unconsciously.

"I'll help you to rest. Where is your lounge?"

Although the tone was questioning, it also carried a sense of indecision.

Jiang Wan blinked, but didn't think there was any need to refuse, so he pointed in the direction of the lounge.

Perhaps it was because of his gentlemanly upbringing, Shen Yan quickly stretched out his arm for her to support him.

Until he helped her to the lounge, the man looked cold and calm, completely unaware that his red ears had already betrayed his true thoughts.

The more Jiang Wan watched, the more interesting it became. When Shen Yan was about to let go, she suddenly stopped and whispered, "Shen Yan, won't you help me sit down?"

Shen Yan's eyes paused for two seconds before he continued to lead her to sit slowly on the large sofa chair in the lounge.

Jiang Wan's sprain was indeed not serious at all, but her skin was so white and delicate without a single flaw. Even the curve of the exposed instep was just right, so the red on her ankle was particularly eye-catching.

Seeing that Shen Yan didn't say anything, Jiang Wan curled her lips and slowly uttered a sentence that was enough to stunned people who were familiar with Shen Yan.

"Shen Yan, you are so easily shy."
