Chapter 583: 583 Meeting at the Auction
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
A charity auction, as the name implied, was an auction held for charity. The items auctioned here were unconditionally donated by individuals or groups. All the money after the auction would be donated to social welfare agencies.
Such auctions would be held almost once a year, and the approximate time was at the end of each year.
Tan Rou held her brother’s arm as she entered. The moment she entered, she became the center of attention.
“I didn’t expect Miss Tao to be attending this year’s auction. Miss Tao is so elegant, much more elegant than Tao Yue. Just seeing them makes me feel that this auction was worth it.”
“Indeed. In the past, the young master and young miss of the Tao family did not come back to participate in the auction.”
“If Miss Tao and 1 had taken a fancy to the same item, I would be too embarrassed to bid for it.”
“You can bid for it and give it to Ms. Tao.”
Tan Rou sat down quietly amidst the crowd’s discussion. She was not used to such a lively atmosphere, nor did she like the smell of perfume. As soon as she sat down, she took out the perfume she had made and sprayed some on herself.
Her perfume attracted some noble ladies and daughters of rich families who loved scents. It also opened the door to socializing for her. In a short while, she was like the talk of the town.
As soon as Tao Yue entered the door, she saw a group of people surrounding Tan Rou. Many of those people had once surrounded her.
“Cousin, you’re early! Oh, Mrs. Li and Ms. Li are here too!” Tao Yue said shamelessly. “Mrs. Wang, your dress today is really beautiful. Is it a high-end dress from the VP family? Miss Zhang, your necklace today matches your skin color very well.”
The moment she arrived, she greeted everyone around her as if she was the only one who knew them.
Tao Yue had already greeted the other party, so the other party felt embarrassed not to reply to her. Besides, they already knew each other.
“Miss Yue’s dress tonight is also beautiful.” Madam Wang said.
“I bought this necklace from your brand.” Miss Zhang smiled and said, “If Miss Yue has anything good to recommend, you can also recommend it to me. 1 happen to want to buy a few new ones.”
“Didn’t the Tao family recently release a few new jewelry designs?” Mrs. Li asked. “Moreover, it has a oriental touch to it. It’s very suitable for young people to wear. I’m going to buy a few for my daughter.”
“Yue Yue, did you also participate in the new designs?” asked Miss Li.
Tao Yue didn’t know who designed the new jewelry. She was too busy at that time and didn’t have time to ask about the design of the new jewelry. However, since others had already asked, she would just take the credit. They would not investigate anyway.
“Most of it was designed by the designer. I only participated a little.’Tao Yue touched the earrings on her ears and smiled. “If you really like that, you should buy a few more sets to keep.”
Tan Rou sneered and asked Tao Yue, “I remember you were preparing for the finals of the piano competition. 1 didn’t expect you to be so capable that you can actually multitask.”
When she mentioned the piano competition finals, the rich ladies who didn’t like Tao Yue chuckled.
“Second Miss Tao, haven’t you always boasted that your piano skills are very high? Why did 1 hear that you won last place in the finals? Were you only bragging before this?” A rich young lady mocked.
The other one continued to mock him. “If you don’t have the ability to multitask, then don’t. Your name isn’t written in the jewelry design column. Why are you trying to get the attention? Now, you won last place in the piano finals, and you didn’t sign your name on the jewelry design. Looks like you didn’t get any benefits from either side!”
Tao Yue’s heart hurt from their words. These batches always liked to find trouble with her. Now that she had been caught by them after several failures, she would be laughed at to death by them in the future!
It was all Tan Ron’s fault. If Tan Rou hadn’t mentioned the piano finals, these women wouldn’t have had the chance to speak.
Tao Yue glared at Tan Rou angrily. “In my heart, the family business is more important than me. If I had to choose again, 1 would still choose to design jewelry..”
