Shen Buyao had invited the two of them as guests to the Ghost Market Street.
She must have mentioned a bustling place like the auction house.
Otherwise,
they wouldn't be sitting here chatting casually; they would be strolling down the street instead.
Since they were waiting patiently on the sidelines, naturally, they were waiting for the auction to begin.
Just as Lin Yu expected.
After he finished speaking, Shen Buyao explained directly,
"Of course we're going to the auction house. I even specifically reserved front-row seats for you two sisters."
"When we see Sister Hong later, you rascal Lin Yu better remember to thank her properly."
"The front-row seats aren't for just anyone to sit in."
Lin Yu fully understood this reminder.
Shen Buyao wasn't exaggerating; she was stating an absolute fact.
First of all,
those who could enter the auction house and have a seat were definitely not ordinary people.
Those without some financial strength could only stand on the outside and watch the excitement.
Even onlookers needed to register, let alone the seated bidders.
The importance of the front-row seats was naturally self-evident.
The closer to the auction stage, the clearer the view.
Over time, the front-row seats had instead become a symbol of status and position.
Today,
they had also run into the chaotic affairs of the auction house.
Who knew how many people were watching from the shadows, wanting to see the Huang family make a fool of themselves.
Under such circumstances, Sister Hong was still willing to do a favor for the people around Lin Yu.
Giving Lin Yu such face truly deserved a proper, face-to-face thank you.
Listening to Shen Buyao's words, Chen Qimeng said uneasily,
"Yaoyao, will this be too much trouble?"
"It's better if we don't do anything that might delay their business."
"Little Xue and I just came over to take a stroll and have a look around."
"We don't necessarily have to go anywhere specific; this street is actually very lively!"
Chen Qimeng had brought Du Ruxue out primarily to relax.
Troubling others was not her intention at all.
From Shen Buyao's words, it wasn't hard to tell that this matter was no small thing.
Therefore,
Chen Qimeng quickly spoke up, not wanting Little Yu to be put in a difficult position because of her.
Lin Yu walked over to Chen Qimeng's side and said,
"Don't worry, Aunt Qimeng!"
"Sister Hong and I have a pretty good relationship. Since we've already gotten the admission tickets,"
"wouldn't it be even more awkward to return them to her?"
Lin Yu's reverse persuasion directly hit Chen Qimeng's soft spot.
Having lived with Aunt Qimeng for so many years,
how could Lin Yu not understand her personality?
Worrying about troubling others was a habit she had developed in her way of doing things.
In addition to that,
she was even more worried about refusing someone's good intentions and causing them to lose face.
Moreover, what Lin Yu said indeed made sense.
They kindly reserved seats for you and gave you rare front-row admission tickets.
And what would be the result?
You just decide not to go?
That sounded like it would be even more disrespectful.
Du Ruxue chimed in to remind her,
"Mengmeng, didn't we agree to come out and have fun today and follow their arrangements for everything?"
"Why are you starting to make arrangements again now?"
"Haven't you made enough arrangements at home!"
"Hurry up and take a break. Today is the young people's home ground."
"We are just the live audience who came along for the fun."
It had to be said,
Du Ruxue's words really fit Lin Yu's values perfectly.
He wondered if agreeing to let Maomao move in had changed many of Du Ruxue's personal thoughts.
Seeing her again today, he felt that she had become much lighter overall.
Changes in one's aura could easily be reflected in their behavior.
She gave off the feeling of having taken off a heavy burden and looking several years younger.
Hearing this, Chen Qimeng didn't dare to say anything more.
Young people nowadays didn't like having their enthusiasm worn down by old cliches.
Chen Qimeng had also been learning recently to adopt a different mindset when getting along with Lin Yu.
After the few of them had discussed and agreed,
Shen Jiuyi, who had been lingering outside the door, put on a show of arriving late and greeted everyone normally.
However,
when she spoke with Lin Yu, she inevitably seemed to lack confidence.
...
After waiting in the shop for a long time, there was still no sign of Huang Feirong.
Lin Yu asked Shen Buyao with some suspicion,
"Sister Yaoyao, did you really agree with Sister Rongrong to meet up at your shop?"
"The auction is about to start, so why haven't we seen her yet?"
According to what Shen Buyao and Shen Jiuyi said, Huang Feirong should have arrived long ago.
But they had already finished two plates of sunflower seeds, and there was still no sign of her?
Could it be that something had held her up?
Naturally, it wasn't Lin Yu's place to ask about such things.
If they needed to inquire about the situation, the two Shen family girls would have to do it.
Just in case,
if Huang Feirong was truly delayed by something she couldn't speak of and couldn't come,
she would definitely tell the two of them.
Since there was still no news up to this point, it meant it must be a very urgent private matter.
Shen Buyao took out her phone and glanced at the time.
She then opened WeChat and QQ, checking to see if there were any messages from Huang Feirong.
Fifteen minutes ago,
she had already sent a message to Huang Feirong, asking why she hadn't arrived yet.
But up until now, she hadn't received any reply.
This was not like Huang Feirong's style at all.
Even if something really came up at home, she should have freed up a hand to send a message and tell her.
Continuing to wait like this wasn't a solution.
Simply put,
Shen Buyao directly made a phone call to her.
The phone rang for a long time.
Just as it was about to hang up, it finally connected!
Shen Buyao put it on speakerphone and immediately started to speak sarcastically in a bad mood:
"Rongrong, even if you were taking a dump, you could have finished several times over such a long period, right?"
"What on earth are you dawdling for? Is there no toilet paper in the bathroom?"
Chen Qimeng and Du Ruxue looked at each other, seeing the suppressed smiles in each other's eyes.
Lin Yu wasn't the least bit surprised by this.
The communication between Shen Buyao and Huang Feirong was simply not something normal people could listen to.
Their current conversation was already considered quite restrained.
No one made a sound, quietly waiting for Huang Feirong's reply.
Very soon,
the person on the other end of the phone spoke hesitantly,
"Yaoyao, how about you guys just come straight to the auction house."
"I'm with my sister right now, and I can't leave for the time being."
The tone of her answer was very formal.
It was completely obvious what kind of situation Huang Feirong was in at this moment.
Shen Buyao asked suspiciously,
"Your sister?"
"Isn't your sister, me, right here in the shop!"
Lin Yu: "..."
Shen Jiuyi: "..."
In this situation, even an outsider could hear that Huang Feirong was not talking about Shen Buyao.
Shen Buyao was still confused and hadn't realized it.
This wasn't intentional teasing; the antique sister's brain capacity really was just that big.
It was Shen Jiuyi who responded, saying,
"The sister she's talking about is definitely not you."
"Besides you, doesn't she have another sister?"
Shen Buyao's eyes shifted, and she immediately caught on,
"Huang Feiya? Why did she look for you!"

Lin Ye: “Now that I think about it… shouldn’t someone have told me that every chest is guaranteed to contain something Mythic?!”

Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ...

At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream.
