At this moment, Gu Yao said loudly, “Actually, Sister Mengqing just wanted to donate some money and bought a violin. There’s no need to feel pressured. Just take it as a toy and accept it! Sister Mengqing, those sick children will definitely remember you!”
From the beginning till the end, Gu Zheng, who was by his side, remained silent and expressionless.
Qiao Xi glanced at him and thought.
‘Gu Yao is really a quick-witted person! He knows how to praise Yao Mengqing. In this way, Yao Mengqing wanting to gift the violin is just an excuse. He made it seem as if her real motive is to donate, so Fourth Brother will naturally accept it. There would be no burden.
‘Gu Yao is so obedient! They’re both brothers, why isn’t this one saying anything?
‘The Yao family has been mocking me time and again. If Gu Zheng bought a few things and gave them to me in public, he would immediately shut them up!
‘But it doesn’t matter now. After all, I’ve dealt with the Yao family myself!’
Gu Zheng smirked.
It was not that he did not want to give these things to her, but he had been waiting.
The items auctioned were all arranged from low to high. The more valuable and rarer the items were, the more interested everyone was.
Moreover, he was here today for that mysterious item.
At this moment, Xue Liang nodded. “To be honest, I really want this violin. In that case, thank you, Miss Yao.”
Yao Mengqing was relieved.
Although she had lost a lot of money today, she could at least get Xue Liang’s forgiveness. It could be said that she had not made a wasted trip here. In the future, the Yao family’s future would be brighter, and it might even involve the arts.
The 300 million was not wasted after all. She would definitely be able to make up for it with Xue Liang.
As Yao Mengqing was thinking, Xue Liang suddenly said, “Miss Yao, if I may ask, can I give this violin to someone else?”
Yao Mengqing replied without hesitation, “No problem. Since I’ve given it to you, Mr. Xue, it’s yours. You can decide who you want to give it to. I heard that you’re giving it to your younger sister, right?”
Xue Liang’s eyes were filled with mockery. “Yes.”
At this moment, everyone was praising Yao Mengqing for being generous, selfless, and sincere. They even lamented how powerful the Yao family was. Even though they had spent 300 million to buy a violin, their expressions remained unchanged.
Hearing everyone’s praise, Madam Yao and Yao Mengqi finally smiled.
Although the family would definitely scold her when they got home tonight, they did not spend the 300 million yuan in vain. At least, they had gained something.
Yao Mengqi started feeling proud again and mocked loudly, “Qiao Xi! My sister won this violin at all costs to give it to Mr. Xue. What were your efforts for?”
Qiao Xi said unhurriedly, “I just like it. I’m indeed not as generous as you, Miss Yao. You gave away the violin you got for 300 million just like that.”
Yao Mengqing had a proud expression. It looked like Qiao Xi was ashamed of her inferiority as well.
However, the next second, Xue Liang said in surprise, “You know Qiao Xi?”
Previously, during the incident in the mall, Yao Mengqi thought that Qiao Xi was being kept as a mistress by Liang Pingchuan. Then, Xue Liang stood up for Liang Pingchuan and chased the Yao family out of the art exhibition.
At that time, Yao Mengqing did not believe that Xue Liang was Qiao Xi’s elder brother. She thought that Xue Liang only said that to defend Liang Pingchuan’s reputation.
Now that she was Xue Liang’s friend, if she could step on Qiao Xi, perhaps…
Yao Mengqing had a subtle expression. “Yes, but…”
Xue Liang’s eyes were calm. “Miss Yao, feel free to speak your mind. Just say what you’re thinking.”
When Yao Mengqi heard this, she was sure that Xue Liang definitely had a grudge against Qiao Xi.
Yao Mengqi finally found a chance to take revenge on Qiao Xi. Without thinking, she said, “Mr. Xue, Qiao Xi is not a good person! She’s always targeting my sister!”
“Qi Qi, don’t spout nonsense. Xi Xi…” Yao Mengqing pretended to stop her.
“Mr. Xue, Qi Qi is a straightforward person. Don’t mind her. Xi Xi is indeed a little wilful and naughty, but as the older one, it’s only right for me to give in to her.”
Xue Liang nodded, his expression unreadable..
