Chapter 226: Chapter 226: The Reunion Gift

Yuan Xi had always thought Bo Chi’s voice would be sinister and vicious, but now his voice sounded exceptionally gentle.

Bo Chi was holding a string of ruby Buddha Beads in his hands, and with glasses on, he truly resembled the epitome of a high-society “Buddha’s son” that netizens talked about.

However, Yuan Xi knew that the darkness his hands were stained with had destroyed countless families, leaving them in ruins.

People like Bo Fan, Uncle Liang were probably not few in number…

And yet, a man with hands stained with blood still held Buddha Beads.

Bo Chi reached out his hand and said, “Miss Yuan, let’s formally introduce ourselves—I am Bo Chi.”

Yuan Xi extended her hand and said, “Hello, I am Yuan Xi.”

Bo Chi glanced at the blue diamond on Yuan Xi’s hand and lightly chuckled, “That blue diamond suits you well.”

Yuan Xi replied, “Yes, my husband gave it to me. I really like it.”

Bo Chi released her hand and asked, “When did you get married?”

Yuan Xi answered, “Last year.”

The smile on Bo Chi’s face paused briefly, “It seems I’m a step too late.”

Mi Yi, hearing Bo Chi’s words, felt uncomfortable and frowned as she looked at Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi also frowned slightly and upon seeing Fu Yixian and Xu Zhou approaching, she quickly went to Fu Yixian and said, “Brother Yixian.”

Fu Yixian, noticing something was off about Yuan Xi’s expression, asked, “What’s wrong?”

Yuan Xi lightly smiled and replied, “It’s nothing.”

Bo Chi walked over and extended his hand to Fu Yixian, “Hello, are you Yuan Xi’s husband?”

Fu Yixian chuckled softly, “No, I’m her husband’s friend, Fu Yixian.”

Bo Chi said, “President Fu, I’ve long admired your name. Your father and I are good friends. Brother Yadong passed away in his prime, truly a pity.”

Fu Yixian let out a mild chuckle and shook hands with Bo Chi, “Hello, Young Master Bo.”

“Yixian.” Mi Yi approached Fu Yixian.

Fu Yixian looked at Mi Yi indifferently and nodded.

Once Fu Yixian took his seat, Yuan Xi sat beside him and gestured for Xu Zhou to sit beside her.

Just as Xu Zhou had taken his seat next to Yuan Xi, Bo Chi spoke up, “Mr. Xu, could you change seats?”

Xu Zhou chuckled lightly, “I’m afraid not, I am saving this seat for a friend.”

Fu Yixian glanced at Bo Chi and said, “Young Master Bo, why not sit next to me?”

Bo Chi took the seat next to Fu Yixian, and Mi Yi found her way to the other side of Bo Chi.

The front row now had Fu Yixian and Bo Chi in the middle.

Ladies from wealthy families behind them started whispering among themselves.

“Who is that man wearing glasses? The one next to him, that’s Mi Yi, right? Isn’t this just a battlefield?”

“There are two more seats in the first row for Mrs. Wen and Fu Qin, they’re all taken now. Ren Tian probably won’t come, right?”

“Honestly, being in the same event as Ren Tian, I just feel a tackiness about her. How can President Fu even stand touching Ren Tian?”

“President Fu probably never touched Ren Tian.”

“Hahaha, that seems right.”

After sending a message to President Huo on her phone, Yuan Xi concentrated on the auction catalog.

Since there were quite a few friends from Fu Qin’s fashion circle present today, many high-end jewels were auctioned off.

Yuan Xi flipped through the catalog and noticed a simply designed wheat brooch, wholly made with gold and small diamonds. Since the designer was unknown, this brooch had the lowest starting price in the entire catalog.

Yuan Xi didn’t care about the jewelry’s expense; besides attending such occasions, she rarely wore jewelry on a daily basis.

First impressions were most important.

As the auction began, not many in the front row raised their bidding signs.

However, when the wheat brooch was presented, both Yuan Xi and Mi Yi raised their signs simultaneously.

Noticing Mi Yi had raised her sign, Yuan Xi did not raise hers again.

The auctioneer asked, “Miss Mi bids fifty thousand, any higher offers? Sir, are you sure you’re raising to fifty-five thousand?”

Mi Yi frowned and glanced at Bo Chi.

Bo Chi shook his head and replied, “It’s five hundred thousand.”

The auctioneer was stunned. “Are you sure about this?”

She had experienced many auctions big and small, but this was the first time she had seen an item that was nearly at fifty thousand being raised to five hundred thousand.

Bo Chi said, “Five hundred thousand.”

The auctioneer, holding the gavel, said, “Five hundred thousand for the first time. Any more bids?”

“Five hundred fifty thousand.”

A male voice came from the entrance.

Yuan Xi turned back and smiled lightly at Huo Shiyuan.

Huo Shiyuan walked up to Yuan Xi, and Xu Zhou, very observantly, gave up his seat to Huo Shiyuan.

After Huo Shiyuan sat down, he intertwined his fingers with Yuan Xi’s.

“President Huo bids five hundred fifty thousand. Any more bids?”

Bo Chi said indifferently, “Six hundred thousand.”

Huo Shiyuan raised his hand again, “Six hundred fifty thousand.”

Yuan Xi leaned close to Huo Shiyuan’s ear and whispered, “You don’t need to compete with Bo Chi for this brooch. I like it, but Mi Yi likes it too, and I don’t want to fight with Mi Yi, so let Bo Chi buy it for Mi Yi.

Moreover, fifty thousand is already a high premium for this brooch; it’s not worth so much.”

Huo Shiyuan said, “Do you think Bo Chi is buying it for Mi Yi?”

Yuan Xi nodded, “Yeah.”

Bo Chi glanced over and raised his hand again, “One million.”

Huo Shiyuan gestured in response, “One million and fifty thousand.”

Bo Chi said lightly, “One million one hundred fifty thousand.”

Yuan Xi stopped Huo Shiyuan, “Really, no need. I don’t like this brooch that much, let’s just let Mi Yi have it.”

Huo Shiyuan glanced at Yuan Xi and didn’t raise his paddle again.

Bo Chi successfully got the brooch, originally priced at ten thousand, for one million one hundred fifty thousand.

When the auction ended,

Bo Chi walked up to Yuan Xi, and as he looked at Huo Shiyuan sitting beside her, his eyes darkened, “Hello, President Huo.”

Huo Shiyuan stood up and shook hands with Bo Chi, “Young Master Bo.”

Bo Chi noticed that Huo Shiyuan’s other hand was still clasped with Yuan Xi’s, his eyes darkened slightly.

Bo Chi handed the brooch to Yuan Xi, “I saw that the only bid you made was for this brooch, so I specifically bought it for you.”

Yuan Xi smiled lightly and said, “Thank you for your kind gesture, but I prefer not to accept rewards without merit.”

Bo Chi said, “It’s a reunion gift, no need to decline.”

Yuan Xi extended her hand, “Thank you.”

Mi Yi, seeing Yuan Xi accept Bo Chi’s gift, had a very dark expression.

After receiving the brooch, Yuan Xi took Huo Shiyuan to the room that Fu Qin had arranged for their rest.

“Shiyan, do you think Bo Chi giving me this brooch implies my demise is near? Besides, Bo Chi’s money isn’t clean, so if I accept his gift, should it be confiscated?”

Huo Shiyuan said, “Give me the brooch, I’ll help you confiscate it.”

After Yuan Xi handed over the brooch to Huo Shiyuan, they heard a burst of loud sobbing coming from the balcony of the next room.

The voice was very familiar; it must be Ren Tian’s.

“Why does Fu Yixian treat me this way? Mi Yi already had a movie hinting at her and Fu Yixian on Valentine’s Day, and now this film presents me as the homewrecker, how did I become the homewrecker?”

“When I was pregnant with Fu Yixian’s child, how could I have known he had a girlfriend? I just asked the Fu An Group cinemas not to screen this movie, and he even refused. Wuu wuu wuu.”

Fu Qin, with a headache, said, “Alright, stop crying now. The movie ‘Love at the Pinnacle’ has made a hundred million in presales within two days, the market really likes this film. Isn’t it normal for Fu An Group cinemas to screen it? We can’t lose money just for you, stop making a fuss.”

Ren Tian cried even harder, “Why can’t I make a fuss? I am Fu Yixian’s lawful wife, yet people make a film portraying me as the homewrecker and I can’t even protest?

I finally understand, Fu Yixian has been forcing me to learn English, wanting me to go abroad for studies after giving birth, he clearly doesn’t want to see me.

Is he planning to send me to study abroad and keep me there forever? He hasn’t forgotten Mi Yi in his heart, he can’t really accept me as his wife!”

Fu Qin said, “That’s not true, Ren Tian, can you please stop causing trouble? You’re at 32 weeks now. The most important thing is emotional stability. Do you want to cause a premature birth?”

“Even you are getting impatient with me, wuu wuu wuu.”

Listening to the cries coming from the next room, Yuan Xi quietly asked Huo Shiyuan, “Today I’ve heard quite a few wives talking about Ren Tian, mocking her. It seems that they don’t regard Ren Tian as Mrs. Fu at all, Fu Yixian must have heard and didn’t stop them. Do you think he’s really planning to send Ren Tian abroad and never let her return?”
