Inside the suite, several wine bottles lay on the carpet.

The room was filled with the rich aroma of wine.

Wei Yuan blushed, her head swayed, and every now and then she would giggle foolishly, as if she were drunk.

What time is it now?

She glanced at her phone.

It was daylight abroad when she made a phone call.

"I've thought it through. I don't want to die so easily. How can I let someone who shouldn't be let go live happily?"

Ning Zeyan smiled enigmatically, "Do you know what you're doing?"

"I've had a few bottles of red wine, I'm almost drunk, but I'm pretty sure I'm not dead yet!"

What do you want?

"I have a condition: if you help me fulfill Haicheng's wish, I will go back and never come back."

"Okay! You have to keep your word."

"Many people want to kill me. Can you spare my life?"

"That depends on whether you behave or not?"

"Do you take me for a pet dog?"

"You're overthinking it, and you don't need to lower yourself."

“Someone told me that after I get married, I’ll be close to death. I’m really curious to see if I will actually die.”

"Let's see if that person has the ability."

Wei Yuan smiled but remained silent.

Ning Zeyan: "Is it that funny?"

"I guess people will call me presumptuous and arrogant."

"You've never cared about these things, have you?"

"It's not that I don't care, it's that I simply don't have the time or energy to care. In Haicheng, I'm just a useless person, someone who's been suppressed and trampled underfoot. Tomorrow, I want the front page headline and the trending topics. I'll send you the content later."

"You sound so pitiful, it would be unreasonable for me not to help you."

"Thanks!"

"I rarely feel grateful to people, so I'm a little flattered by your words!"

"People's hearts change, don't you know that?"

Ning Zeyan's charming smile deepened, "If you're obedient and know how to be pragmatic, you'll avoid taking many detours."

"That's right, I understand now."

"Don't worry, things will turn out as you wish tomorrow."

******

Auction.

Many people were surprised when they heard the name Song Zhongqian.

Older people have all heard that this talented painter is the son-in-law of the Jiang family.

Unfortunately, fate is beyond our control, and he died young.

Many years ago, there were rumors that he was forced to his death by Jiang Chi.

Therefore, the relationship between the father and daughter has always been bad.

As a result, Miss Jiang's personality changed drastically, becoming arrogant and rude...

Does Song Zhongqian still have any paintings?

The year he died, someone offered a high price to buy his paintings.

At that time, those who owned his paintings, even galleries, sold them.

It is said that Jiang Chi destroyed those paintings.

Now, very few of Song Zhongqian's paintings remain.

His name has been forgotten, and now his paintings have suddenly appeared out of nowhere, which is truly astonishing!

...

Song Zhongqian's painting is indeed on display here at the auction.

The auctioneer provides relevant information.

"After authentication, it has been confirmed to be an authentic work by Song Zhongqian. It was created 28 years ago, when his artistic level had already reached its peak. Back then, he won a world-class gold medal."

"This painting is called Eternal Love, and the starting price for the auction is 100,000."

Below, people were whispering among themselves.

The woman in this painting has no face visible, but that doesn't detract from the painting's beauty at all.

The painting is full of emotion and love; it is indeed a sophisticated work.

It's not hard to see the emotion the painter is expressing; it's true love!

The woman in the painting is like a fairy, yet her face is not visible, leaving much room for imagination—wonderful!

If he were to pursue further studies and refine his skills, Song Zhongqian would certainly achieve even greater success.

It's such a pity that he died so young!

...

The auction began, and many people were bidding.

When the bidding exceeded 1 million, only a few people followed suit.

Although this painting is quite good, some experts would only offer around 1.5 million at most.

It has collectible value, but it's not ridiculously expensive.

However, to everyone's surprise, the painting actually sold for two million.

Auctioneer: "Two million, for the second time..."

After a three-second pause, the auctioneer continued, "Is there any further bid? Song Zhongqian's authentic works are practically extinct and have very high collectible value. His works are extremely rare."

The auctioneer was about to announce two million for the third time when suddenly someone raised their paddle, "Two and a half million!"

The auctioneer said excitedly, "Two and a half million... Anyone else bidding?"

"..."

It was very quiet; no one was holding up signs.

The auctioneer continued speaking and asking questions.

"Two and a half million, the third time..."

"..."

"Two and a half million... Sold! Congratulations to Mr. No. 59 for winning the painting by Master Song Zhongqian!"

Instantly, many people began to discuss it.

Some people think Mr. No. 59 has gone mad and is wasting money.

Some people think that with a little hype, the painting could fetch an even better price, so it's worth taking a gamble.

It's likely that only the Jiang family would be willing to pay a higher price for this painting.

Mr. No. 59 is also a bit of an oddball.

He took a picture of Song Zhongqian's original work and then left.

The items to be auctioned next did not seem to interest him.

...

The auction has ended.

Song Zhongqian and his paintings have occupied the top spots on multiple media trending topics, and their popularity continues to grow, sparking heated discussions.

Someone made a comparison and concluded that the person in the painting is definitely not Jiang Yan.

Some people are even curious about who the person in the painting is.

Jiang Chi also learned about the news and told Liu Yun to investigate immediately.
