BXBX NOVEL Chapter 75 - Practice
Chapter 75: Practice
Uncle Gein was a gentleman and would not be offended by something unexpected like this.
His eyebrows were deep and his facial features were well-defined and handsome. The curve of his lips seemed to have been measured precisely.
He was polite and gentlemanly, gentle yet distant.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Gein. We’re the ones intruding.”
After they left, Uncle Gein and Xing Jiuan then stood up. Uncle Wang went to take the items they’d bought.
Mr. Huo and Madam Huo had also come to participate in this auction. However, they had entered earlier and were on the other side. Although they knew that someone had bid for many items here, they did not notice that Xing Jiuan was also present.
At that moment, there were fewer people around. Although there were many people talking around them, they had also noticed the situation.
What surprised them was not Mr. Gein but the person standing beside him.
It was Xing Jiuan.
It was their daughter.
They really wanted to go over, but Xing Jiuan hated them very much for some reason. They did not dare to go over as they were worried that it would make Xing Jiuan even more unhappy.
Xing Jiuan’s grandparents wanted to see her very much. The two of them had yet to mention Xing Jiuan’s attitude toward them as that would definitely make the two elders very sad.
They only said that Xing Jiuan did not wish to return for the time being, but they did not say that Xing Jiuan was that determined to not return.
“Little Jiuan, there’s someone watching you from over there,” Uncle Gein whispered.
Xing Jiuan did not look over. She had already seen Mr. Huo and Madam Huo by accident previously. Even if it had been other people, there was nothing for Xing Jiuan to see.
“Uncle, let’s go.”
“Alright.”
Uncle Gein gave Xing Jiuan the calligraphy paintings, jades, and diamonds and kept the few ancient items for himself.
Xing Jiuan was a little interested in the calligraphy paintings, but she already had a lot of jades and diamonds. The kinds that she wouldn’t even use.
“Their qualities are not very good. I still have some with me. I’ll bring them over for you.”
“I don’t need these though,” Xing Jiuan said helplessly.
“Not needing is one thing, but you’re a girl. You need to have enough jewelry.”
“Didn’t you learn design? These jades are perfect for you to practice with.”
Xing Jiuan chuckled. “Alright.”
After they returned, Gein let Xing Jiuan rest first as he had some matters to settle.
Xing Jiuan didn’t want to rest. After bidding farewell, she prepared to return.
“I’ll get someone to send you back. Also, don’t let yourself be bullied.”
Everyone didn’t want Xing Jiuan to suffer. She couldn’t be bullied either. Uncle was no exception.
In the past, when Xing Jiuan was overseas and Mu Qing’s influence could not reach her, her uncle had been the one to protect her.
Now, Mu Qing was expanding his power for Xing Jiuan.
No matter how Xing Jiuan proved that she was strong enough, she was still being treated like a child and taken care of carefully.
“Alright.” Xing Jiuan smiled.
…
Soon, the photos from the charity auction were published. The reporters who’d been allowed to enter naturally did not go overboard. The articles they published were also relatively neutral.
Xing Jiuan and Uncle Gein’s photos did not show their faces clearly, but the dozen or so items they’d acquired were enough to make one gasp in surprise.
However, because there were not many people in the country who paid attention to this, this auction remained relatively low-key. Soon, there was not much news about it.
Xing Jiuan received another mission a few days later. She would be leading the newcomers again. She thought about it and said that she would consider it.
She couldn’t let herself be immersed in her emotions from the past forever.
Everything had to pass.
