As far as Xie Jiancheng was concerned, the only logical explanation was that Xu Ke had bid for his sake. After all, if Xu Ke disliked antiques and was just trying to squander money, why hadn't he bid when An Zhidong first presented the item? Why did he wait until after Xie Jiancheng had claimed the chalice was his before making an offer...
There was only one answer!
It was obvious. No one was bidding on the item Xie Jiancheng had brought out, so Xu Ke stepped in and bought it!
Xie Jiancheng's face filled with gratitude. "Xu Ke, thank you!"
Xu Ke, who had been staring intently at the Bronze Wine Chalice, whipped his head around in surprise. "Family Head Xie, what is it?!"
"It's nothing. I understand. Nothing more needs to be said."
Xie Jiancheng patted Xu Ke's shoulder.
Xu Ke was even more baffled. What the hell? What happened while I was talking to Bai Qian'er?!
While the front row conversed, the back row was in an uproar.
