“I get it.” Xing Siqing suddenly laughed, “Did you get upset after hearing that grandmother presented Sister Jingyi with that necklace for her dowry? Let me remind you, Sister Jingyi and elder brother were properly engaged during their childhood. Who do you think you are? You haven’t even had a wedding ceremony yet, how ridiculous.”

“What’s it to you?” Su Wanwan squinted, “You’re a dog trying to catch a mouse – a meddler. Are you happy being her lapdog? I would almost suspect you’re her maid.”

“You…”

“Siqing.” Chu Jingyi’s voice rang out lazily, “I need to be somewhere else I’ll leave first.”

“Sister Jingyi, wait for me!” Xing Siqing feigned the intent to follow her but she quickly lowered her voice and hurriedly said, “Since you already heard I’ll be open about it. Sister Jingyi has already divorced, she came back to the country to reconcile with elder brother. Your position as Mrs. Huo will soon be filled by someone else. Look at you, then look at Sister Jingyi, you are not even worthy of carrying her shoes! You can never compete with her! I can’t wait to see how long you can keep up this pretense! Humph!”

After saying this, she left with a triumphant smile.

Su Wenwen stood there, knowing clearly that Xing Siqing only wanted to provoke her, but she indeed felt irritated.

Because she was unaware of many things, and obviously, Huo Jingshen had chosen to hide them from her.

By the time she was about to re-enter the banquet hall, she suddenly felt the desire to leave.

Inside, an object was being auctioned. Su Wenwen stood in the door, hearing the lively voice of the announcer calling out, “Starting at 4 million!”

“4-5 million!”

“5 million!”

5 million for the first time, 5 million for the second…”

“6 million.”

The room was filled with gasps of surprise when this bid was placed.

Su Wanwan looked over.

Sure enough, the woman raising the paddle and shouting the price was Chu Jmgyi.

Being the eldest granddaughter of the Chu Family, naturally beautiful elegantly dressed, and raising the bid by a full million at once, she immediately captured everyone’s attention.

Su Wanwan even heard many people discussing enthusiastically near the entrance:

“Miss Chu is truly generous.”

A picture is worth a thousand words, I never expected Miss Chu to be this beautiful.”

“Not just beautiful, she is also highly talented.”

“Exactly, her traditional Chinese painting has even won international awards!”

“She is truly the pride of the Chu family!”

The announcer asked, “Miss Chu Jingyi bids 6 million, is there anyone else?” At this moment, the deep voice of Huo Jingshen rang out, “8 million!” Another wave of gasps swept the room, this time because the bid jumped directly from 6 million to 8 million.

The CEO of the Huo Yuan Group, Mr. Huo has bid 8 million, 8 million for the first time, 8 million for the second…”

“9 million!”

Chu Jingyi again.

Laid-back, casual, exuding confidence, yet seemingly indifferent, as if she were merely calling out random numbers with no consideration for the cost.

Su Wenwen suddenly felt a sensation inside of her that she had never felt before.

All this time, she had been living carefree, never doubting herself.

But now, she truly sensed the gap that existed between her and Chu Jingyi, and how out of place she was in this setting.

She observed Huo Jingshen.

He calmly held up his paddle and signaled, “10 million.”

The announcer was all excited, he held up the microphone, about to speak…

“11 million!”

Chu Jingyi again.

“11 million, Miss Chu has bid 11 million…”

Huo Jingshen continued, “12 million.”

“13 million.”

“14 million.”

“15 million.”

“17 million.”

The room had turned into a battlefield for this man and woman.

The protagonists were Huo Jingshen and Chu Jingyi.

The two seemed to be competing with one another stealthily, each bent on winning this auction. But to Su Wenwen’s eyes, it was not much different from flirting in public.

After all, for them, money was just a bunch of insignificant numbers.

Su Wenwen turned around and walked decisively towards the exit of the hall.

**

Inside the banquet hall, the competition was still ongoing.

“20 million.”

“21 million.”

“22 million.”

Until then, Huo Jingshen suddenly made his move, “25.2 million.”

The room burst into whispers.

Buzzing because of the special significance of this number, and because he raised the bid by over three million…

Just as Chu Jingyi was about to raise her paddle again, someone reached over and pushed her paddle down.

“Ahuang?”

Sister, why not let the man have his glory?”

Chu Xiuhuang’s seat was exactly behind her, he seemed to be there specifically to stop her.                          ’

This made Chu Jingyi feel a bit upset.

She replied, “1 just sold that emerald necklace, I feel this one could compensate for my loss. Moreover, it would suit me better.”

This was an imperial green jade necklace, exquisitely crafted and delicate It was said to have been bought at a high price from the descendants of some European royal family, passed down through the black market, and ultimately collected by the Chu family, with a starting price of 3 million.

Such expensive and dazzling jewelry is perfect with her red evening gown tonight.

“This is a gift Brother is preparing for his wife,” Chu Xiuhuang clarified bluntly, “Sister, you’ve played the part of a green leaf enough, why waste this money unnecessarily?”

Waste of money?

Chu Jingyi’s pupils contracted slightly.

The announcer in the background continued to call, “25.2 million! 25.2 million for the first time, for the second time, for the third time, CEO Huo from Huo Yuan Group’s bid of 25.2 million for the third time!”

Chu Xiuhuang puckered his thin lips, and finally released his hold.

Meanwhile, the announcer banged his gavel: “Sold! Next, please welcome Mr Huo, the winner of this auction, to the stage. Let’s give him a big round of applause.”
