Yao Mengqi was secretly delighted. Now that the Yao family had connections with Xue Liang, it meant that they had become allies with Imperial Capital’s Xue family. She was immediately confident.

“Qiao Xi! You’re extremely jealous, right? My sister and Xue Liang are friends! What about you?”

Qiao Xi said calmly, “Xue Liang and I are indeed not friends.”

Yao Mengqi looked proud. “It’s good that you know your own limits. Be more polite when you see my sister in the future and know your place!”

“Sister, we’ll go to the Gu family later and tell Uncle Gu and Aunt Lan about what happened today. We’ll let everyone see that you’re the one who’s most qualified to be Mrs. Gu!”

Yao Mengqing pouted playfully. “Qi Qi, don’t spout nonsense. Xi Xi will misunderstand. It’s also reasonable that she doesn’t know Painter Xue. She might not like paintings.”

Everyone nodded. They heard that Qiao Xi grew up in the countryside, so she was definitely not very classy.

With Xue Liang’s support, it was really hard to say who would be Mrs. Gu in the future.

“Mr. Xue, please take a seat. There’s another item being auctioned later,” Yao Mengqing said gently.

“No rush.” Xue Liang shook his head. “Since you don’t mind, I’ll give the violin to my sister now.”

Yao Mengqing froze abruptly, her face filled with disbelief.

Xue Liang’s thin lips moved. “My sister is here at the auction. I want to give this to her now.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He paused for a moment and asked again, “You won’t mind, right?”

The entire venue was silent, and even the sounds of breathing had stopped.

Xue Liang’s younger sister was also present? They had not heard that the Xue family’s eldest daughter was here, though?

Yao Mengqing’s body was cold. Her heart was pounding furiously, and her voice was trembling. “Y-Your sister… is here?”

Earlier, only Qiao Xi was competing with her for the violin. Could it be that it was really Qiao Xi?

Impossible! Qiao Xi had already admitted that she and Xue Liang were not friends. Moreover, Xue Liang did not retort. Since they were not related, why would he give such a valuable gift to Qiao Xi?

That person was absolutely not Qiao Xi!

Yao Mengqing was relieved, and her expression returned to normal. “Of course not, Mr. Xue. This violin belongs to you. You can decide who to give it to.”

Xue Liang smiled. “Thank you, Miss Yao. I’ll bring her over to thank you later.”

Yao Mengqing nodded generously. “Originally, I wanted to give this violin to you to apologize. It’s fine as long as you don’t blame me. There’s no need to thank me.”

The nearby Qiao Xi could not help but laugh because she was truly unable to hold it in anymore.

Yao Mengqing looked up aggrievedly, and Lin Jie immediately glared at Qiao Xi. “What do you mean by that? Mengqing is kind and generous, so why are you laughing? Do you think the violin will be given to you?”

Madam Yao assumed the posture of an elder. “Miss Qiao, it’s fine that you’ve targeted my daughter time and again, but it’s too much to mock her in public now. Are you laughing at my Yao family for spending 300 million on a violin and giving it to someone else? How can someone like you understand my daughter? She doesn’t care about this bit of money at all as long as Mr. Xue is happy.”

Yao Mengqi also roared, “What’s there to laugh about? I think you’re just jealous of my sister!”

Yao Mengqing had an innocent face and said weakly, “Xi Xi, if you want to get to know Mr. Xue, I can introduce you.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and said, “Mr. Xue, this is Qiao Xi.”

Xue Liang’s expression was subtle. He turned around and whispered something to his assistant, who understood and walked to the staff to say something.

After a while, the person in charge walked out. “Miss Yao, Mr. Xue said that it would be best if we held a ceremony to give away such a valuable violin. What do you think?”

Yao Mengqing nodded without hesitation.

Of course, she would not refuse. The bigger this matter was, the more beneficial it would be for her. She wanted to let more people know that she was kind and generous. She even got herself acquainted with a big figure like Xue Liang.

What made her even prouder was that after she introduced Qiao Xi, Xue Liang completely ignored her.. This meant that he did not like Qiao Xi at all.
