Chapter 82 Auction Storm Jing Yu smiled and leaned on his shoulder...

"Host, this brooch doesn't really suit you."

"As long as it's valuable, that's enough." Wen Han didn't plan to wear it herself. "I can sell it later and get at least tens of thousands, right?"

"Jingyu, you've arrived."

Jing Yu was smiling, but when she got to Wen Han, she suddenly frowned: "You have the pheromones of an unfamiliar Alpha."

"Huh?" Wen Han didn't even smell it; he only smelled the perfume here. "I just ran into a blind man."

Wen Han said, "I didn't see Gu Cheng and the others."

Instead, they saw Ming Xingyan and Fang Songxia. Fang Songxia seemed a little nervous when she saw them, while Wen Han greeted them with a normal expression.

Seeing that Ming Xingyan looked a little off, Wen Han asked, "Why do you look so pale?"

"That Gu Cheng is really a lunatic," Ming Xingyan sneered.

Fang Songxia whispered, "Wen Ruan was stunned when she saw Xing Yan's face, and then Gu Cheng got angry."

Wen Han: "......"

Wen Ruan isn't a fangirl, so the most likely reason she'd be stunned by a handsome guy is probably because she's struck by how Ming Xingyan and Gu Cheng look a little alike.

After a while, Ming Xingyan's teammates told him to go back to his room that night and not to come out.

"Why?"

A teammate whispered, "Sigh, that young master from the Gu family is coming; he probably doesn't want to see you."

Ming Xingyan sneered: "Why should we cooperate with someone like that?"

"Don't say that. Our company has gone to great lengths to get you to endorse Gujia's products."

Ming Xingyan left without saying a word in the end, and Fang Songxia was worried that he would follow him.

"Endorsement?" Wen Han only knew that the Gu family made their fortune in real estate, and Gu Zong had recently set his sights on the medical field. He must have made a lot of money from his cooperation with the Jing family recently.

"I heard that Gu Yuan is also developing food products recently."

Shopping malls, illegal experiments, food research – Wen Han shook her head: “Trying to get involved in everything usually ends up with nothing.”

However, the Gu family is large and powerful, so they should be able to keep him busy.

Jingyu's aunt asked him to come over, probably to have a chat, so Wen Han had no choice but to sit in her seat and wait for him to come back.

"Host, I saw Gu Cheng and the others come in!" the system shouted. "Oh dear, that big fish king is actually from the Gu family!"

"What?" Wen Han was about to turn around but quickly pulled her head back. "They only came in when it was almost starting?"

If they ran into Wen Ruan, it would be a huge problem. Wen Han and Wen Qingke lied and said that they went on a trip with Fang Songxia.

This is so annoying.

Fortunately, Jingyu returned after chatting with his aunt, and Wen Han finally smiled. Jingyu leaned down and whispered a few words in his ear.

The dinner was incredibly boring, and there was no cell phone signal inside. After what seemed like an eternity, the guests finally got to the auction.

Although Yang Xing had been ripped off, he spent the entire banquet replaying the scene in his mind. However, no matter how much he looked around, he couldn't find the Omega from before.

Young Master Gu Cheng finally arrived late with Wen Ruan. Although Yang Xing disapproved, he didn't say anything.

Does he think he's his father? He's still so young and already so arrogant. How could Gu Zong have such an impatient son?

Yang Xing could only sigh. He'd better find out about the other young master when he has time. If he were assigned to Gu Cheng's household in the future, he'd be in for a world of trouble.

"Oh, Gu Cheng," Wen Ruan exclaimed in surprise, "Look how much that person looks like Wen Han!"

Gu Cheng snorted coldly upon hearing Wen Han's name. He followed Wen Ruan's gaze and asked, "That must be Wen Han, right?"

Wen Ruan asked curiously, "Didn't he go on a trip with Fang Songxia? Why is he alone?"

Yang Xing overheard them discussing Wen Han and casually glanced over in that direction.

Oh dear, he immediately straightened up and glanced at Gu Cheng and the others. It seemed they were people he knew.

Why is he sitting alone? Yang Xing smiled. How lonely he must be.

It's a pity that this young master Gu clearly dislikes that Omega, otherwise he would definitely have invited him to sit down.

As he was marveling at this, another man arrived a while later.

He saw the smile on the child named Wen Han's face gradually disappear after hearing what the other person said, and he looked somewhat sullen. The man who brought him this bad news was still whispering in his ear, his deep, obsidian-like eyes staring intently at his somewhat cute but gloomy face.

Yang Xing couldn't help but get angry. He had a girlfriend and he was still being unreasonable. What would his girlfriend think if she knew what kind of person he was?

However, the more I look at that man, the more familiar he seems. Isn't that the youngest son of the Jing family?

Wen Ruan said, "Jing Yu? Why is he with Wen Han? Shouldn't it be Fang Songxia?"

Upon hearing that they were from the Jing family, Gu Cheng's face immediately darkened.

Yang Xing knew something was wrong when he saw Gu Cheng's expression. Sure enough, the next second Gu Cheng angrily shouted, "Get that guy surnamed Jing out!"

"Young Master," Yang Xing advised, "President Gu and the Jing family have had a good relationship recently, and the two families also cooperate. If you do this, President Gu will definitely blame you."

No matter how coldly Gu Cheng stared at him, Yang Xing remained unmoved. So what if Gu Cheng was the heir in the future? He couldn't possibly be unable to distinguish between the two kings; the power he held now was given to him by Gu Zong.

Yang Xing guessed that the reason why this young master Gu hated the Jing family so much was because he knew about what Jing Xu had done to the An family.

Even the Jing family from before couldn't be offended; Jing Xu, that vengeful madman...

Moreover, the inhibitor patch that the Jing family is currently developing has strong government support and will soon be exported overseas. The Jing family has already monopolized this technology, and their power will only grow stronger. I absolutely cannot afford to be foolish.

After thinking it over, Yang Xing smiled and said, "Besides, you have important matters to attend to tonight. It's not good to focus your attention on unimportant people."

Wen Ruan also advised, "Yes, Gu Cheng, we should just focus on doing our own thing."

Hearing Wen Ruan's advice, Gu Cheng had no choice but to give up.

——

Wen Han had thought the auction would feature some strange and unusual items, but it turned out to be nothing more than jewelry and ancient paintings.

Jingyu whispered, "The main event should be later."

Wen Han sighed.

Jingyu just told him that the mechanism of the drug that Fei Nai'er was injected with has been figured out.

Researchers extracted glandular cells from three ABO populations.

Gu Yuan's experimental drug still has uncertainties at this stage. The drug can indeed cause secondary differentiation, but what sex it will result in is uncertain.

In other words, if an Alpha is injected with the drug, he/she may differentiate into any of the three sexes in the ABO model.

Such a drug, which cannot guarantee differentiation into a specific gender, obviously cannot be provided to someone who wants to differentiate a second time, unless that person is a gambler.

Or... use it to avenge your enemies.

Wen Han thought sarcastically, "If you turn an Alpha into a Beta, they'll probably suffer a fate worse than death, constantly banging their heads against a wall."

Jingyu noticed his gloom and comforted him, "Wenhan, don't think about those things for now."

"Hmm." There were quite a few people holding up signs around her, but when Wen Han looked up, it was just a pretty face.

Upon hearing the auctioneer's introduction, it turned out that this was actually a vase that the An family had collected back then.

Jingyu also wanted to buy the vase.

Wen Han whispered, "Is it for your father?"

“No.” Jingyu smiled. “Dad has no feelings for the An family. This vase has another use.”

That's true; it's not even certain whether An Ning, being from a collateral branch, has ever seen this antique vase.

Those who originally wanted to bid on the vase withdrew tacitly when they saw the Jing and Gu families vying for it.

Wen Han watched helplessly as this vase's value skyrocketed from three million to thirty million; he could hardly recognize the numbers anymore.

"Hey, hey." Wen Han leaned down and secretly glanced at Gu Cheng. Gu Cheng was clearly in a frenzy, willing to go with any price Jing Yu offered. "Does that vase have some kind of trade secret, or a treasure location? It's not worth it for just a vase!"

"It's only increased less than sevenfold so far."

"How much more do you want to raise the price?" Besides, each bid is worth 500,000, and that madman Gu Cheng keeps adding two million at a time.

Gu Cheng was already getting desperate, and this time he directly added five million.

Upon seeing that this unassuming vase had fetched 40 million, Wen Han absolutely refused to let Jing Yu continue bidding, clinging tightly to his arm.

"No way!" Jing Yu was still laughing. Wen Han tried to grab the sign, but accidentally used too much force, and after grabbing it, she swung her hand and lifted the sign up.

Forty-five million!

Wen Han: "......"

System: "Host, you're amazing! You're about to reach 50 million!"

Seeing Wen Han's helpless and even somewhat dazed expression, Jing Yu simply smiled and leaned on his shoulder.

*

Seeing that Gu Chenghe was acting like a madman, Yang Xing really wanted to take a painkiller to relieve his headache.

"Young Master, that vase isn't worth that much at all." Yang Xing sighed. Gu Cheng's eyes had already turned red when he heard it belonged to the An family, and he wouldn't listen to anyone else's advice.

I hope President Gu won't blame him.

Wen Han clung to Jing Yu like a lifeline, preventing him from holding up the sign. Yang Xing was still lamenting that the Gu family had to suffer this injustice when, in the next second, Wen Han, with too much strength, couldn't stop herself and held up the sign herself.

Yang Xing couldn't help but laugh, but at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the Gu family shouldn't suffer this loss—

Sixty million!

Yang Xing felt dizzy and was about to faint.

When Wen Han heard Gu Cheng raise the price, she breathed a sigh of relief and then immediately hugged the sign to prevent Jing Yu from taking it.

"Young Master," someone from Aunt Jingyu's side came to relay the message, "Madam asked you not to go too far, after all, they are members of the Gu family."

Jing Yu nodded: "I understand."

Seeing that someone had finally come to stop the farce, Wen Han relaxed and felt relieved.

Then Jing Yu took the sign from his lap and held it up in Wen Han's shocked gaze.

"Eighty million!"

Even if it wasn't her own money, Wen Han would still faint.

Upon hearing this number, Yang Xing quickly gave Wen Ruan a signal, and the two of them stopped Gu Cheng from continuing.

“Something’s not right,” Gu Cheng said coldly. “If this vase isn’t worth the price, why would the Jing family bid on it? Jing Yu even made a special trip here; it must be for this vase.”

“His father is also from the An family, so he must know something.”

Yang Xing was speechless. Maybe they were trying to trick him.

Gu Cheng broke free from the person beside him.

Ultimately, this seemingly ordinary antique vase saw its price skyrocket to 100 million.

This time, Jing Yu did not make a move, and Wen Han seemed to have already gone off to travel overseas.

God: You two are liars! You're a liar couple!

I have an exam the day after tomorrow, and although it's too late to fix things now [clown], I'll still take a day off and try to update on Saturday.
