After some thought, Qiao Yin decided she owed Lu Yanxi an apology.
“Yan Xi, I am really sorry, you have given me a job, but I have dragged you into my mess, disrupting the normal workflow at the auction house.”
“Oh, it’s not a problem, Second Sister-in-law, it didn’t really affect anything, we’re doing just fine, aren’t we?”
Lu Yanxi continued, her tone shifting, “My Eldest Aunt, she’s something else. She claimed to be here to auction something off, and in the end, she brought nothing! She’s just as cunning as ever.”
When she was a child living at her Eldest Uncle’s place, she was secretly bullied by her Eldest Aunt, which left her with a deep emotional scar.
“Second Sister-in-law, which computer did you upload the recording to? I need to make a copy just to be safe, as it seems Eldest Aunt cares a lot about it.”
Qiao Yin gave a wry smile, “I didn’t have time to upload it to a computer. She showed up suddenly before I could connect the recorder.”
Lu Yanxi’s mouth fell open, “Eldest Aunt was tricked!”
“That’s the only way to trick her. Otherwise, she’d stick around and would really disrupt our work.”
Lu Yanxi laughed, “Second Sister-in-law, you did well! We have to fight fire with fire when dealing with Eldest Aunt.”
Qiao Yin also laughed. After chatting for a bit, she went back to work.
In the evening, two men arrived at the auction house, and Qiao Yin received them.
Unexpectedly, they were not there to auction anything but specifically asked to meet Lu Yanxi.
Qiao Yin couldn’t help but ask, “May I ask who you are?”
One of them replied amiably, smiling, “My name is Chen Yuan, I’m a friend of
Yan Xi. Tell her my name, and she’ll see me.”
The other man said, “I’m Chen Yue, a friend of Chen Yuan. You must be new here; I haven’t seen you before.”
As Chen Yue spoke, he kept looking Qiao Yin up and down, unable to conceal his amazement.
Creeped out by his brazen gaze, Qiao Yin turned to call Lu Yanxi on the internal line and inform her about the situation.
To her surprise, Lu Yanxi sprinted from her office.
Her eyes were bright, her radiant face lit up with a smile, “Chen Yuan, is that really you!”
Chen Yuan smiled warmly at her, “Yan Xi, long time no see.”
Lu Yanxi’s voice was full of joy, “What brings you here?” free(w)ebnovel
“I was passing by with a friend and thought of inviting you to dinner. Are you free tonight?”
“Of course!”
Lu Yanxi immediately grabbed Qiao Yin’s arm, “Second Sister-in-law, come with us!”
While saying this, she gave Qiao Yin a meaningful look, signalling for some help.
Seeing Lu Yanxi’s excitement, Qiao Yin couldn’t help but realize the identity of this man named Chen Yuan.
The name of Lu Yanxi’s auction house was “Xiyuan Auction House”. Qiao Yin was never clear about the character Yuan was derived from. Now she understood.
The Yuan was from Chen Yuan’s name.
She nodded at Lu Yanxi, “Okay, then. I won’t be shy about it and will tag along for dinner.”
Chen Yue, hearing Lu Yanxi addressing her as ‘Second Sister-in-law’, was surprised and his gaze at Qiao Yin was filled with uncertainty.
The four of them exited the auction house and got into Chen Yuan’s car.
Chen Yuan, being the perfect gentleman, not only opened the passenger side door for Lu Yanxi, but also made sure the seat belt was fastened around her.
Qiao Yin sat in the backseat with Chen Yue. She stuck close to the car door, deliberately creating distance between them.
The car was filled with soothing light music. Chen Yuan asked Lu Yanxi gently, “How have you been lately?”
As Lu Yanxi looked at his profile, she barely blinked, her tone different from usual, “Fairly busy. The auction house is back on track.”
“Don’t push yourself too hard.. You can delegate some tasks; not everything has to be done by you personally, okay?”
