Chapter 1320 Now he knows to call me Uncle Huo again?
The next day, when Jiang Manman woke up, she received a message from Huo Yanchen in the middle of the night, asking if she was free on the weekend to go to an auction together.
“I’m free, I’m free!” Jiang Manman replied.
Huo Yanchen quickly replied, "Okay, I'll pick you up this weekend."
Jiang Manman looked at the current time, then at the time Huo Yanchen sent her the message in the middle of the night. Only five hours had passed, and Huo Yanchen had already woken up?
"You haven't slept long, have you? You're up already?"
Even a tool shouldn't be used like a tool!
Huo Yanchen replied with a single word: "Mm".
Actually, I've been up all night and haven't slept yet.
"Then remember to take a nap at noon," Jiang Manman said to Huo Yanchen.
Before they knew it, they had talked for quite a while, and Jiang Manman hurried off to school.
The weekend arrived quickly, and Huo Yanchen said he would take Jiang Manman to the auction.
The auction was in the evening. During the day, Jiang Manman went to Shen Yuan's cosmetics store to get her hair and makeup done, and then went to Xiao Ning's store to pick out a beautiful dress.
Xiao Ning personally picked out this dress; it's a short dress that's not revealing but very elegant, making her look like a rich heiress. It fits Jiang Manman perfectly, giving her a serene and graceful air.
This occasion wasn't particularly formal, so a formal dress wasn't necessary, but it also couldn't be too casual, which is why Xiao Ning chose this dress for Jiang Manman—it was just right.
Jiang Manman herself was very satisfied!
After Jiang Manman finished getting her hair and makeup done, she waited for a while at Xiao Ning's place. Not long after, Huo Yanchen's car arrived.
Before Huo Yanchen could even enter, Xiao Ning blocked him at the door: "Pay up."
"What money?"
"If your future wife buys clothes from me, shouldn't you pay for them?"
Xiao Ning decided to take this opportunity to rip off Huo Yanchen severely, as such opportunities were rare.
Huo Yanchen simply pulled out a card: "Swipe it however you like."
Xiao Ning accepted it with a smile: "The boss is very generous."
Although Xiao Ning wasn't short of money, she was willing to swindle as much as she could from Huo Yanchen.
Huo Yanchen strode into Xiao Ning's studio and saw Jiang Manman in front of the mirror. Jiang Manman had styled her hair in a beautiful updo today, her makeup was bright and elegant, and the dress she wore suited her very well. She had lost a bit of her innocent and naivety and gained a mature charm. She was really different.
"Huo Yanchen, you're here! Do I look good today?" Jiang Manman twirled in front of Huo Yanchen.
"Who dressed you up?" Huo Yanchen asked.
"What's wrong? Doesn't it look good?" Jiang Manman's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Huo Yanchen didn't like her outfit.
Huo Yanchen said, "You're dressed up so beautifully. If you go out, everyone will stare at you. Who will have the mind to look at the collection?"
Xiao Ning, standing beside him: "..."
Huo Yanchen actually said such old-fashioned things and made such old-fashioned jokes.
Sweet words are not to be trusted; Manman must not be fooled by Huo Yanchen.
However, upon looking at Jiang Manman, the girl was now smiling incredibly sweetly, clearly indicating that she was susceptible to this.
"It's not that exaggerated!"
"No exaggeration, it's the truth." Huo Yanchen smiled as he looked at Jiang Manman.
She is indeed beautiful, and the kind of beauty that grows on you the more you look at her. The blend of sweetness and maturity is so perfect that you can't help but keep looking at her and can't take your eyes off her.
"Hey, you two, stop showing off your love in front of me! Come on, hurry up and take your wife away!" Xiao Ning couldn't stand it anymore and pushed Jiang Manman to Huo Yanchen's side.
It was still early, so there was no rush to go to the auction. Huo Yanchen took Jiang Manman out for a meal first.
By the time they arrived at the auction house, almost everyone had already arrived.
Only the two most central and best-viewing spots were reserved, and those were Huo Yanchen's seats.
Huo Yanchen and Jiang Manman were holding hands, but when Jiang Manman saw so many people around, she was afraid that it wouldn't be good if they ran into someone she knew, so she quickly pulled her hand back.
This action made Huo Yanchen frown. Was Jiang Manman disgusted with him?
Is he not presentable enough?
Huo Yanchen was unhappy, so he grabbed Jiang Manman's hand and made her link her arm with his.
Jiang Manman tried to pull her hand back but couldn't, leaving only a burning sensation on her cheeks.
Just then, someone who recognized Huo Yanchen and Jiang Manman saw them and came over to greet them: "Mr. Huo is here! Isn't this the Jiang family's daughter? Mr. Huo, are you here with your niece to attend the auction?"
Those who know both families know that Huo Yanchen and Jiang Manman's father address each other as brothers. Jiang Manman's father also took her to some public occasions, and at that time Jiang Manman called Huo Uncle.
All things considered, she's not a little niece.
Huo Yanchen's tone became even more displeased: "No, she is not my niece."
The person asked in confusion, "Huh?"
Could it be that President Huo and the Jiang family have fallen out?
Jiang Manman said, "Yes, Uncle Huo and I are here to attend the auction!"
Then he grabbed Huo Yanchen and said, "Let's go, let's go, let's go!"
After they left, Huo Yanchen settled the score: "Uncle Huo? Now you know to call me Uncle Huo. You didn't want to before, did you?"
Jiang Manman said, "This person knows my dad, and I'm afraid he'll tell my dad on me."
Jiang Manman thought she had kept her secret relationship with Huo Yanchen a secret, believing that her father knew nothing about it. She hadn't found a suitable opportunity to tell her father about it yet.
Huo Yanchen: "..."
Huo Yanchen and Jiang Manyan sat down in their seats, but as soon as Jiang Manyan sat down, she felt a strange gaze.
She couldn't help but glance over there and saw Liang Chen not far from her.
Is Liang Chen here too?
Jiang Manman's heart skipped a beat.
Huo Yanchen said that the auction only invited top entrepreneurs, and only those with some assets in their family were invited. Even Jiang's father did not receive an invitation.
If the Jiang family isn't even qualified to come, then the Liang family is at most on par with the Jiang family in terms of strength. So why is Liang Chen here?
Jiang Manman glanced at Liang Chen's side. Two aunties were sitting next to Liang Chen. Although they were well-maintained and looked like wealthy ladies, they still couldn't hide the wrinkles around their eyes, and they looked to be quite old.
Jiang Manman didn't know if they knew Liang Chen, but she only glanced at them once or twice before quickly looking away.
Her family and Liang Chen's family had a complete and ugly falling out, so they decided to pretend they didn't know each other for now.
But Liang Chen didn't look away. He just kept staring at Jiang Manman with a look that made her feel uneasy and creepy, which made Jiang Manman feel uncomfortable all over.
Even though she tried her best to ignore it, she still couldn't ignore that gaze.
At this moment, Huo Yanchen also noticed something. He stood up and said to Jiang Manman, "Let's switch seats. You can sit here with me."
After Jiang Manman got up and switched places with Huo Yanchen, Huo Yanchen turned slightly to the side, directly blocking Liang Chen's view and completely obscuring Jiang Manman.
He also gave Liang Chen a warning look. Liang Chen had a lot of trouble to deal with, and if he didn't behave, he wouldn't mind doing something about it.
