Bao Mingyuan frowned.
The auction isn’t over yet, Jingyuan saying ’the highest’ doesn’t seem appropriate, does it?
Mrs. Bao whispered, "I think nobody else will outbid her later, it’s just kids playing after all, Mingyuan, don’t take it so seriously."
Everyone around was praising.
"The Bao family truly has formidable genetics."
"Brother Mingyuan has a good way of raising his daughter."
Bao Mingyuan smiled and greeted the people around him.
On stage, Bao Jingyuan’s cheeks were flushed as she spoke into the microphone, "Actually, Qionglin is also my second brother’s girlfriend."
There was a buzz of surprise from the audience.
So she was the girlfriend of the second son of the Bao family.
Suddenly, Su Qionglin was the center of attention.
She received everyone’s congratulations as if it were her wedding with Bao Ziqi.
She had become the young mistress of the Bao family, destined for a life of glory and wealth!
Downstage, Mrs. Bao hugged her, "Congratulations Qionglin, and Jingyuan."
She thought highly of Su Qionglin and completely looked down on the Bao family’s orphaned niece, Su Ruanruan.
Su Qionglin just smiled without comment.
She turned her head to look at Bao Ziqi, very much hoping for his praise.
But Bao Ziqi was focused on the stage the whole time, unresponsive.
Su Qionglin was somewhat disappointed.
Bao Jingyuan comforted in a low voice, "It’s ok, I’ll bring Qionglin sister to the family gathering later. You’ll see the difference between her and Su Ruanruan; dad will know how to choose."
She was now devoted to Su Ru’an and hence unconditionally supportive of Su Qionglin.
As for Su Ruanruan, well, she’s biting the hand that feeds!
She’ll be kicked out of the Bao family sooner or later!
Just as Bao Jingyuan was indulging in her thoughts, the host on stage, with a cheeky voice, said: "The artist of the next painting also has the surname Su. Su Ruanruan."
He spoke for a while, but no one raised their bidding sign.
Bao Jingyuan curled her lip.
Bao Mingyuan spoke to his wife, "Raise your bidding sign later, let’s not embarrass Ruanruan too much."
Mrs. Bao, touching her husband’s arm said, "I plan to spend 200,000 to buy Ruanruan’s painting."
Bao Mingyuan felt very pleased and patted the back of his wife’s hand.
Concealing a touch of scorn!
——These 200,000 yuan, might as well be alms!
She was about to raise her bidding sign when someone beat her to it.
That person directly offered, "500,000 yuan."
Mrs. Bao’s smile froze on her face.
How could this be! How is it possible?
Who would be willing to pay such a high price for Su Ruanruan’s painting?
The leaders from the art academy were also stunned.
A starting bid of 500,000 yuan, isn’t that too much?
Su Ruanruan is just a student, can her painting... bear such a reputation?
While everyone was in shock, Bao Mingyuan also raised his bidding sign.
The venue erupted in another wave of surprise.
Bao Mingyuan is a very astute businessman, he immediately saw the potential.
He pointed at the painting and said, "It looks like it’s Dijing Group on the painting, buying it can also become a nice talking point."
People looked closer.
Hmm, it does seem to be the case!
Thus, they started praising again, "The Dijing Group really is famous!"
Bao Mingyuan smiled and accepted the compliments.
Mrs. Bao said discontentedly in a low voice, "Mingyuan, have you considered Jingyuan’s feelings, spending so much to buy Ruanruan’s painting?"
Tears welled up in Bao Jingyuan’s eyes.
Her painting was bid on by Qionglin sister, and when it came to Su Ruanruan’s, dad personally took action.
This is how Bao Mingyuan replied to his wife, "Shortsighted! All the media houses will report on this auction; it’s a good opportunity to promote Dijing."
Moreover, Bao Mingyuan always had an affinity for culture and elegance, he could really see the skill in Su Ruanruan’s painting.
A profound artistic conception.
Not inferior to those famous young contemporary artists.
This was both unexpected and pleasantly surprising for him.
At this moment, the bit of admiration he had for Su Qionglin, he completely transferred back to Su Ruanruan.
