The CEO's husband didn't come home every night, and Secretary Chu was angry

"I heard that after the family dinner, my uncle went on a business trip to Beijing the next day and stayed away for a week." Yi Fengteng chimed in, "I thought you were so clever that you drove away my Third Aunt and took the throne of the Yi family's Young Mistress."

"I've never been interested in stealing someone else's husband." Chu Mu said, "Boss Yi is very busy with official duties, so business trips are common."

As he was speaking, the auction house's etiquette lady came over and handed Chu Mu the bank card: "Miss Chu, here is your bank card."

To enter the auction house, you need to pay a membership fee of 200 million, which can be refunded with your ID card after the end.

"Thank you." Chu Mu nodded and took it.

Lin Jiaojiao's eyes accidentally swept over the bank card, and suddenly her eyes darkened.

American Express Black Card?

The membership fee alone costs $25, and the asset requirements are very strict. Even among the wealthy families like the Yi family, only Yi Yichen has one.

There are only a handful of people in the country who can get it.

But how could Chu Mu have it?

"Sister, how much money do you plan to pay for that emerald?" Lin Jiaojiao did not alert the enemy, but instead turned the topic to the auction.

Chu Mu curled his lips slightly: "As long as I can suppress you, it will be fine."

"Heh." Yi Fengteng said disdainfully, "Just you? The owner of a small studio."

"Actually, having a competitor like my sister has always been something I'm proud of." Lin Jiaojiao said softly, but every word was a challenge: "But this time I don't want to give in."

After saying that, Lin Jiaojiao left with Yi Fengteng without waiting for Chu Mu to speak.

Chu Mu stood there in a daze, his head full of question marks.

Qi Man was straightforward and said directly: "When did she ever let you?"

Chu Mu shrugged, not taking it seriously. Perhaps in Lin Jiaojiao's heart, she was always giving in.

……

Walking to the center of the banquet hall, Chu Mu and Qi Man found their seats and sat down. Under the table was a brochure for the auction. Today's auction had a total of nine items for sale.

Three pieces came from abroad, and six pieces came from private collections, two of which were donated by Yi Yichen, namely a painting by Qi Baishi and a 1-kilogram emerald rough stone.

Chu Mu's gaze lingered on the emerald. It was the size of a palm, weighing 5655 carats, transparent throughout, and emitting a perfectly balanced golden-green hue.

Anyone who works in a jewelry store has heard of this emerald. A rough stone of this size and quality is rarely seen in centuries.

That is to say, only a jewelry company with a history of over a hundred years like the Yi family can own it.

Chu Mu's eyes lit up. He wanted to get it at this moment, not only for the royal order, but also because of his love for jewelers.

"Mumu, it's Yi Yichen." Chu Mu was watching intently when Qi Man bumped into her arm.

Chu Mu looked up.

Yi Yichen was led into the venue by the staff.

Today he was wearing a black suit with dark vertical stripes, a white shirt underneath, a wide checkered tie, and a pair of long legs that walked lightly, showing his nobility.

As soon as he sat down, people around him immediately came over to chat. The hostess respectfully handed him the menu. Yi Yichen tapped his fingers, and a glass of sparkling champagne was brought to him.

As expected of the top nobleman in Zhucheng, he exudes elegance in every gesture.

"When are you going to confess your identity to Yi Yichen?" Qi Man was talking to Chu Mu, but her eyes were fixed on Yi Yichen.

"Let's talk about it later."

Qi Man's eyes widened. "It's been almost a year since we got married, and the couple hasn't seen each other. How outrageous!"

Indeed, after a year of marriage, the couple still didn't know each other's identities, and this was their first time meeting. Chu Mu thought it was really funny, spending money to look down on his wife. He wondered how Yi Yichen would react when he found out the truth.

For no reason, Chu Mu actually felt a hint of anticipation.

While chatting with Qi Man, the auction officially began.

The first piece to be auctioned was a work by a famous Dutch Impressionist painter, with emeralds coming in third.

Chu Mu only considered himself a spectator for the first two items. When it came to the third item, Chu Mu pinched the number plate in his hand.

Looking up, Lin Jiaojiao in the front row turned to look at her and gave her a determined smile.

Chu Mu curled the corners of his lips slightly and turned to look at the emerald on the stage, which was sparkling under the light.

The starting price of this emerald is 30 million.

Chu Mu didn't bid at the first blow. The Yi family participated in the corresponding auction every year, and the final sales price of the collections was donated to organizations for people with disabilities.

In order to please Yi Yichen, many people would come to bid and buy.

Chu Mu wanted to buy the collection from this group of people, so she had to make them call out the target price, only then would she have a chance.
