Chapter 1275: The Mermaid in the Mansion
Shi Li was very confused.
The scene suddenly became quieter than when she was pushed out.
Everyone who came to participate in the auction at Qizhenlou today was wealthy and powerful. Everyone in the business world knew the Wen family and also knew Wen Rending, the young master who was famous for his bad temper.
As soon as he opened his mouth to take a picture of the mermaid as the finale, almost everyone else stopped trying. The few people who still had a chance of winning completely gave up after Wen Ren Ding threw a thick stack of banknotes on the stage.
The man in charge of presiding over the auction looked at the scattered silver bills in amazement. He knew without counting that the value was far beyond his expectations, and it was even enough to buy all the treasures today.
He immediately smiled, "Master Wenren..."
"Open the cage."
Wen Ren Ding interrupted him directly, looking coldly at the chains outside the exquisite cage, his fingers hanging at his sides ready to move.
From the corner of his eye he saw the mermaid huddled in a corner of the cage, but he resisted the urge to tear open the chains.
"Master Wenren, the cage will also be given to the buyer. We can also deliver it to your door..." The auctioneer did not understand what Wenren Ding meant and kept chattering.
Wen Ren Ding's patience, which was already running out, was completely exhausted. He took a step forward and stretched out his hand to break the thick chain.
Shi Li: Holy crap!!! Popeye!!!
【…】
[Anchor, it has to be you~]
【9 (6 turned over)! 】
The reason why Shi Li was so calm was not because she was slow or stupid. Everyone knew that mermaids could see pearls flowing towards the moon and were good at weaving silk, but few people knew that some mermaids had an inexplicable sense of the outside world.
Although Wen Ren Ding had a frown on his face and gave off a terrifying aura that kept strangers away, Shi Li didn't sense any malice or bad intentions from him.
That's why she is so calm.
Wen Ren Ding didn't waste any time, he broke the chain, opened the door of the cage, bent down and walked in, and picked up Shi Li horizontally.
Shi Li: Holy shit!!!
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Wen Ren Ding seemed not to feel the shock of the scene. He carried the mermaid out of the cage and walked out of the Qizhen Tower without looking around.
He held her firmly, and from time to time he looked down at the mermaid in his arms. She seemed to be frightened and motionless, with her beautiful crystal eyes not even blinking.
The more I look at it, the better it looks.
Halfway through the journey, Wen Ren Ding held her in one hand and used his free hand to touch the top of the mermaid's head curiously.
Shi Li: ...
Wen Ren Ding seemed to think she was a Hakimi...? !
The carriage they took stopped outside Qizhen Tower. As soon as Wen Rending stepped one foot onto the carriage, his friend Qiu Liang, who had dragged him to Qizhen Tower, hurriedly chased after him.
"Brother Ding! Brother Ding! Brother Ding!"
Wen Rending stopped and looked at him expressionlessly, "If you have something to say, say it now!"
Qiu Liang had known Wen Rending for a long time and had long been accustomed to his indifference. He touched his head and glanced at Shi Li with envy.
"Brother Ding, please broaden your horizons and show me what a mermaid pearl looks like."
Shi Li: Get away, you bastard. You want to make me cry as soon as you come here!
Unexpectedly, Qiu Liang really rolled out the next second.
It wasn't that she suddenly had the ability of words, but that Wen Ren Ding kicked Qiu Liang.
After kicking her, Wen Rending held her in his arms and got on the carriage without looking back, and told the coachman to set off for home.
Qiu Liang sat on the ground, watching the carriage go farther and farther away, then stood up and brushed the dust off his body nonchalantly.
When he came here, he and Wen Ren Ding rode in the same carriage, but now they can only walk back.
After walking a few steps, I suddenly saw a familiar-looking carriage turn the corner and disappear.
"Hmm...it seems to be the Su family's carriage?"
Qiu Liang frowned and thought about it, but he was not sure whether he had seen it wrong.
The Su family is also a wealthy family in the north, second only to the Wen family. I don’t interact much with them, so I don’t know how they ended up here.
