In the center of the auction, there was a huge piano covered by red silk cloth. Jiang Xiao kept sticking his head out to look at it, and Jiang Ci pushed him back to his seat several times.

"Dad..." Just as the word "Dad" was about to blurt out, Jiang Xiao suddenly noticed the warning in Jiang Ci's eyes. She quickly looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to her. She pursed her lips and lowered her voice.

."Aci! What are you doing!"

"Stinky girl! What are you afraid of? This piano must be yours today."

Jiang Ci slapped Jiang Xiao on the head gently, with an unceremonious tone.

Jiang Xiao held the slightly aching back of her head aggrievedly, but her eyes were fixed on the red silk cloth. She turned her head and leaned towards Jiang Ci's ear, and her warm breath fell on Jiang Ci's ear along with her voice. "

If I can’t buy this piano, I won’t want you as my father!”

Jiang Ci, who was used to seeing strong winds and waves, couldn't help but smile for a while.

"What? Am I no better than a piano?"

Jiang Xiao shook his head expressionlessly, his mind made up. "It can't compare! You left me to live with Brother Xing's family since I was a child, and how long did it take before you took me home!"

"I picked you up? Did I carry you wrongly in the hospital?" Jiang Ci stared at Jiang Xiao with a pair of fox eyes, and couldn't help but doubt the authenticity of this blood relationship. But he said

To be honest, Jiang Xiao's fox eyes seemed to be carved from the same mold as his.

"Ahhh! It's started, it's started!"

Jiang Xiao quickly changed the topic and took Jiang Ci's hand to look towards the stage.

The red silk cloth was torn off, and the crystal clear piano body appeared under the gentle crystal lamp. The black and white keys and the strings, skeleton, and soundboard inside the piano were all visible, and Jiang Xiao was immediately attracted to it.

, a pair of eyes full of stars never moved away from the piano, grabbing Jiang Ci's hand excitedly, causing the eyebrows on Jiang Ci's face to jump in pain.

"Aci! Did you see it? This piano is even more beautiful than you!"

Jiang Ci couldn't laugh or cry. Are you comparing him to a piano? Not as good-looking as a piano? These are not the same species, right?

Female host Shi Shiran, wearing a floor-length gown, walked onto the stage.

"The last auction item is - Henselmann crystal piano! The starting price is five million!"

"Six million!"

"Six and a half million!"

"Seven million!"

"Seven and a half million!"

Some people have already started bidding. This piano has a beautiful shape and is very in line with the modern design style. Not to mention it is a classic instrument that is famous in the world and has been played by contemporary piano masters. Naturally, there are countless people vying for it.

Seeing the price of pianos rising, Jiang Ci had no intention of bidding.

Jiang Xiao's face was so anxious that she wrinkled up. Her father wouldn't stop taking pictures for her just because she didn't look as good as the piano!

Seeing that the grievance on his daughter's face was about to seep into reality, Jiang Cicai slowly raised the number plate. A cold voice appeared in the quiet auction venue, causing countless pairs of people to be either surprised or confused.

Eyes.

"Ten million."

"I'm telling you! It turns out to be Jiang Ci!"

"No wonder he is so wealthy..."

"I'm afraid you didn't buy it to please your little girlfriend, right?"

…

There was a lot of splashing in the silent venue because of the fluttering ten million. Even at the auction site where celebrities gathered, there were always a few people who couldn't help but whisper.

"Ten million? Ha."

Just want to use a mere ten million to please Xiaoxiao?

Rong Zhixing, who was sitting in the private room, let out a contemptuous sneer. The red light for the quotation in the private room suddenly turned on, and the gloomy voice was like thick ink. It confused the entire venue for a while. Everyone was obviously aware of the influence coming from that voice.

oppression.

"Twenty million."

Twenty million?!

All the celebrities attending the meeting were in an uproar. This piano is indeed worth a lot of money, but it has a direct increase from 10 million to 20 million? This is the real wealth!

"Guest No. 143 bids 20 million, is there anyone else who wants to bid?"

This price was somewhat beyond Jiang Ci's expectations. His original budget was only 18 million, which was the ceiling price estimated by industry insiders. He didn't expect that there would be someone richer than him.

"Aci! What should I do...the piano is going to be bought..."

Jiang Xiao was so anxious that she clenched her skirt tightly, and there was already a thin layer of mist in her eyes. She kept looking back at the illuminated box glass on the second floor.

"Twenty million once! Twenty million twice! Congratulations to guest No. 143 for winning this piano!"

"Come on, honey. Let's go meet this No. 143."

Jiang Ci's narrow fox eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't see clearly what was going on in the box through the brown glass, but he vaguely felt like he had heard that voice somewhere.

"Knock knock——"

When the door opened and Rong Zhixing, dressed in a finely tailored black striped suit, appeared in front of Jiang Xiao, a look of surprise appeared in his beautiful, sparkling eyes.

"Brother Zhixing! Why are you here?"

Jiang Ci's face suddenly became a little strange, but he still maintained a decent and gentle smile on his face. He didn't remember Rong Zhixing's hobbies in musical instruments and classical music. Could it be that he bought it back as an ornament?

"Mr. Rong, I didn't expect that you took the photo of this piano."

Rong Zhixing stared directly at Jiang Xiao. He suddenly came back to his senses but did not avoid his eyes being exposed in front of Jiang Ci. He made room for him in the private room, and Jiang Ci patted Jiang Xiao's shoulder knowingly to let her know.

Stay outside the door.

The light in the box was not bright, and the warm yellow light could only vaguely illuminate the faces of the two men with very different temperaments.

"Mr. Jiang, I can give this piano to Jiang Xiao for free." Rong Zhixing said straight to the point, with a pair of deep black eyes as stern as an eagle. "The condition is very simple. Let Jiang Xiao stay with me for half an hour. I will

If you have something to say to her."

He, Rong Zhixing, never suffers losses, and everyone in the industry and outside the industry knows that. Jiang Ci is also confused. When did Rong Zhixing become the one who was taken advantage of? Although 20 million is nothing for him, right? 20 million

Buying his daughter for half an hour is really a big deal.

Jiang Ci didn't show anything on the surface, and agreed simply and neatly. "Okay, thank you, Mr. Rong, for thinking highly of our Xiaoxiao."

Xiaoxiao? A simple title that almost made Rong Zhixing punch Jiang Ci in the face. His knuckles were clenched so hard that they turned slightly white, but the smile he barely maintained on his face clearly looked like he was gritting his teeth.

"After all, Xiaoxiao is my sister."

A small figure pushed the door open after Jiang Ci, and her delicate little face was even more endearing under the warm yellow light. Jiang Xiao's voice was timid, and Rong Zhixing only felt that the girl in front of him was still the same girl he loved to chase when he was a child.

The little girl ran after him.

"Brother Zhixing, what do you have to say to me?"
