"Welcome to the Christie's Auction House, I am the auctioneer Hou Xinyun. The Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching. In order to add some glory to the Festival, as well as to surprise the friends who had supported the Christie's Auction House for a long time, the Christie's Auction House would host this Mid-Autumn Festival. "On behalf of the Christie's Company, I wish all guests a happy return …"

Hou Xinyun who was dressed in the gold silk cheongsam appeared to be extremely dignified, her graceful figure captivated the men present, her sweet and greasy words captivated their hearts, causing the entire place to become extremely quiet. Everyone had smiles on their faces, their eyes burning with interest as they watched the gentle speech on the stage, leaving Lin Yiyuan with an absent-minded look.

"Cousin, where is this woman from?"

After looking for a long time to confirm that he did not recognize the wrong person, Lin Yiyuan turned to ask.

The depression in his heart was dissolved by the beautiful woman's sweet smile, Cai Zhixing did not want to smile at the moment, and immediately turned his head when he heard the question.

"She! His name is Hou Xinyun, the eldest daughter of Hou Family, one of the top ten Wealthy Classes in Hong Kong Island, her family business spans many different businesses, and she also has a share in the Christie's Auction House. I heard that she has quite a bit of shares, and besides that, the Central Hotel that you are staying in is hers.

As he spoke till here, the interested Cai Zhixing suddenly sighed, "Sigh … the sky does not foresee the wind and clouds. Although Hou Family's business is flourishing, it is full of calamities."

At that time, Lin Yiyuan intended to give him a tip, but unexpectedly the female waiter begged him to make a prediction. She wanted to see if her brother was still alive, but Lin Yiyuan did not reject her out of good will, so the result made people unhappy.

There were no two identical leaves in the forest, and Hong Kong Island was only the size of a palm. Other than the twins, it was impossible for there to be two identical people here, and both were seen by Lin Yiyuan.

Hearing that the Central Hotel was owned by the Hou Family, Lin Yiyuan immediately understood that it was Hou Xinyun who acted as the waitress that day.

"Oh, what happened to their family?"

Lin Yiyuan asked.

"I heard it was … Ah, that's not right!" Why are you so concerned about Hou Xinyun? "

Originally, Cai Zhixing was only speaking casually, but seeing how Lin Yiyuan was so concerned about Hou Xinyun, he immediately misunderstood him, thinking that Lin Yiyuan was interested in Hou Xinyun or more accurately speaking, was because he was infatuated with him, and was trying to investigate his family's background.

"What are you thinking? It was on the morning of the second day that I arrived in Hong Kong Island … "

After quickly explaining the situation, Lin Yiyuan continued: "That's right, how can I not be curious?"

Knowing the reason why Cai Zhixing was stunned also gave birth to a trace of understanding.

"I thought you were interested in her! "If that's the case, then I can't explain it to Vizhu."

After muttering for a while, without caring about Lin Yiyuan's reaction, Cai Zhixing continued to explain, "The Hou Family seemed to be cursed, and none of the males in the clan could survive past thirty years of age. There are a lot of differences on the cause of death, but no one can explain it clearly.

Hearing this strange occurrence, the curious Lin Yiyuan was stunned, he then raised his head to look at Hou Xinyun who was on the stage. He felt that his eyes were shrouded in a layer of dense fog, and although he was unable to touch it, he was unable to see it clearly.

"There's actually such a thing, could it be that the Hou Family has done something shameful?"

Lin Yiyuan whispered.

Cai Zhixing shook his head: "Every family has its own problems, but the matter regarding their families is extremely shocking, and those who know it, are also wary of them. Furthermore, from what I see, I think that the reason Hou Xinyun sought you out to divinate is also because of that matter."

After saying that, Cai Zhixing suddenly thought of something: "Oh right, small forest, what does her seeking you count as?"

Lin Yiyuan didn't conceal anything and said straightforwardly: "Have you heard about this before, for the sake of a brother who has disappeared for five years?"

In addition, the Hou Family's women did not marry outsiders, they only came to look for a husband. However, they had never thought of it as a tradition of being poor and loving rich, but they had always wanted to know one thing, that their character was good, or else they would not want money in their entire lives. Thus, outsiders would not be able to figure out how many males there were in their family, Cai Zhixing was the same, and he was confused about the male question.

"Um … I really don't know. I'm afraid there aren't many people in the entire Hong Kong Island who are clear about this. Perhaps only the people in the Hou Family are clear about this!" , let me tell you! Every three years, Hou Family holds a husband recruitment event, and the news will spread like wildfire throughout Hong Kong Island. The liveliness is almost as great as the beauty contest for young mistress Hong Kong. "

Cai Zhixing said with a mysterious smile.

Just as the two of them were discussing about this, Hou Xinyun, who was on stage, finished reading the introduction, and the ceremonial lady brought up the first item. There was a red cloth covering the item, it was extremely mysterious, and the only thing that could be determined was its size.

"This is the first item for auction today. This item was created by many top jewellery masters using the Mid-Autumn Festival as the main theme. Please take a look!"

Just as Hou Xinyun finished speaking, the ceremonial lady took off the red silk, and the first item appeared. It was a rabbit carved from emerald, shining brilliantly under the contrast of the scenery lamp.

"This jade carving is called 'Yang Mei Yang Yue Palace Jade Rabbit', the raw materials are from the highest quality Icy Glaze, the water is light and elegant, the craftsmanship is excellent, the meaning is auspicious and auspicious, whether it be placed at home to decorate, or given to relatives and friends during the festival, it is considered as the best choice."

After the introductions, Hou Xinyun smiled slightly and said: "This item will be the first item for auction today, it will be up to you guys to decide who is going to sell it in time. Alright, the auction officially begins, I will offer you my starting price of 200 thousand Hong Kong dollars, and an additional 50,000 each time, please bid!"

Being urged on by Hou Xinyun, the people who were initially not interested in bidding were moved, but for no other reason, because this Jade Rabbit was truly suitable to be used as a gift. Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival was near, many people would probably worry about the gift, and when Hou Xinyun spoke of it, they would have no choice but to bid.

"100 thousand, I'll take it!"

Lin Yiyuan looked over to see the bidder was seated in the front row and was slightly fat, but he was still slightly lacking compared to Cai Zhixing's obese body.

"I bid 150 thousand!"

Following that, someone else raised the bid by fifty thousand.

To the rich, one or two hundred thousand yuan was just an appetizer, so there were a lot of people competing in the auction. The price kept going up and soon reached five hundred thousand yuan.

"I bid 550 thousand!"

Cai Zhixing's interest was also piqued, he raised the price, and at the side, Lin Yiyuan was startled.

"Uncle, if I remember correctly, you are a snake, right?"

Lin Yiyuan suddenly asked, to the point where Cai Zhixing was slightly startled, then woodenly nodded. Lin Yiyuan continued to laugh: "With clouds in the feng shui, there will definitely be rich! "Although this item is good, the material it is made of is a taboo, 'Jade Rabbit' is usually made from Agarwood or Ceramics, and cannot be made with gold, silver or jade, because these materials are already negative, if you were to bring them back, it would be bad."
