Chapter 44 Auction (2)

They have several such private islands and don't care much about this.

Yun Ranshu thought about Jiang Shuicheng's inexplicable targeting and wanted to try again.

An Shixia and the others knew that she was testing them, so they did not participate.

The starting bid for the island was one billion, and when the minimum bid was ten million and the price reached three billion, Yun Ranshu raised his paddle: "Four billion."

Forty billion was already beyond the value of the small island, and Xiao Yin did not intend to stop it.

Even if it's not worth it, it's good if it makes Yun Ranshu happy.

Jiang Shuicheng, who was behind her, was already getting restless. She had changed from being calm and composed when she first started bidding to being in a hurry and scrambling around.

Thinking of the lessons learned from the previous two times, she hesitated for a moment. If she messed up again this time, she would really choke up.

Besides, she didn't have that much money left. If Yun Ranshu stopped following her, she would have to sell some assets to make up the difference.

She gently bit her lip, thinking that she couldn't possibly be that unlucky. She would only follow this once, and then she would stop.

"Forty billion and one million."

Yun Ranshu's eyes were filled with a smile as she silently lowered her bidding paddle.

Jiang Shuicheng had been watching her closely, and seeing her actions, she was so anxious she could hardly sit still.

However, there were too many cameras on set, so she couldn't show her heartache.

There weren't many valuable items at the auction to begin with, and now almost all of them are in her hands.

She felt she had no way to express her grievances and regretted not following them.

An Shixia quietly asked Yun Ranshu, "Sister-in-law, do you know her? She's Jiang Shuicheng, who's been very popular lately."

Yun Ranshu carefully recalled whether she had offended anyone and found that she hadn't: "I don't know her, I really can't remember who she is."

This is a bit strange. Jiang Shuicheng was clearly targeting Yun Ranshu, but unfortunately, she wasn't smart enough and fell into three traps in a row.

The next items in the auction weren't so expensive; they were just simple jewelry pieces. An Shixia took a liking to a few and bought them.

She particularly liked one of the pearl sets; the pearls were inlaid with small diamonds, making the craftsmanship look exceptional.

She'll wear this tomorrow! Pearls aren't very expensive, and they're not flashy, which she likes.

After the auction ends, the successful bidders need to retrieve their items from another collection room; bodyguards are permitted during this process.

Security at the auction was excellent; bodyguards were only allowed in after their identities were verified.

As the saying goes, enemies often meet on narrow roads. When they went to retrieve their belongings, the group happened to run into Jiang Shuicheng.

Jiang Shuicheng was wearing a mask and hat, so her face couldn't be seen, but as she passed Yun Ranshu, she said, "Miss Yun has a truly unique eye."

Yun Ranshu gave a polite smile: "Miss Jiang has excellent taste. It seems that you've taken a liking to everything I like."

Jiang Shuicheng finally couldn't hold back her smile and said in a very low voice, "Then thank you, Miss Yun, for parting with it. I really like it."

This statement had a double meaning, but Yun Ranshu didn't know why she would say that.

An Shixia instantly recalled the figure in the mall and vaguely understood.

Jiang Shuicheng is making a show of defiance. If she's not mistaken, the person she saw in the mall last time was An Zhiyu.

An Shixia glanced at Jiang Shuicheng. It wasn't appropriate to say anything outside; she would let her brother explain when they got home.

The auction ended at nearly nine o'clock, and we arrived at Anjia at nine-thirty.

"I know why Jiang Shuicheng has been targeting my sister-in-law."

As soon as he entered the living room, An Shixia said something.

Xiao Yin and Yun Ranshu looked at her at the same time and asked in unison, "Why?"

"Why? You'll have to ask my brother."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yin's expression instantly changed: "What has this kid been doing outside! An Zhiyu, you get down here right now!"

Seeing that Xiao Yin had misunderstood, An Shixia quickly tugged at her sleeve: "Mom, don't worry, I didn't do anything wrong."

Xiao Yin breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he hadn't wronged Ran Shu, he was still her good son.

Ran Shu is such a wonderful girl, it's his good fortune to marry her. He almost treats Yun Ran Shu like his own daughter.

Hearing the shouts, An Zhiyu crept downstairs furtively.

He felt it wasn't a good thing; his mother's yelling was terrifying.

"What are you doing? Come here!"

Xiao Yin glared at him when she saw his expression.

An Zhiyu felt incredibly wronged: "Mom, what did I do now?"

"What's wrong? What did you do that you don't know about?"

Xiao Yin decided to try and trick him.

An Zhiyu racked his brains but still couldn't figure out what it was about.

An Shixia asked directly, "Brother, do you know Jiang Shuicheng?"

An Zhiyu frowned: "Why are you bringing her up?"

Yun Ranshu said calmly, "We met her at the auction, and she kept trying to take things from me."

An Zhiyu's brows furrowed even more deeply.

Jiang Shuicheng is an artist signed with the company. According to her, the two went to the same high school, but he has no recollection of her at all.

Her drama became a hit recently, and An Zhiyu talked to her agent about her future career path.

He did it for the company's development, but Jiang Shuicheng realized that she actually liked him.

He didn't even know what Jiang Shuicheng looked like until today, when Jiang Shuicheng secretly followed him to the mall and confessed her feelings on the spot.

"Honey, believe me, I really have nothing to do with her! I don't even know what she looks like!"

An Zhiyu was genuinely afraid that Yun Ranshu would misunderstand because of this matter.

"What exactly happened?"

Although Yun Ranshu trusted An Zhiyu, she still wanted to know the whole story.

"Just today, I don't know where she got my itinerary, she knew I was going to the mall for an inspection, and she confessed her feelings to me there. I arranged for my PR team to cover it up, and the news wasn't leaked to the public..."

An Zhiyu's voice grew softer and softer as he spoke, until he finally stood up straight: "Wife, hit me! I should have told you sooner, then you wouldn't have suffered today!"

He originally thought it was a minor matter that wouldn't affect others, and as for Jiang Shuicheng, he would terminate the contract once it ended.

Unexpectedly, Yun Ranshu still suffered injustice.

"It's alright, I didn't suffer any losses today. I suppose Jiang Shuicheng has already started selling things everywhere."

The fact that Jiang Shuicheng had to sign a contract to enter the entertainment industry shows that her family background is not very good, at least not good enough to easily come up with billions.

"Hehe, my wife is great, I'm glad you didn't suffer any losses! Don't worry, I'll have someone blacklist her right now, and I guarantee she won't have a chance to get in your way again!"

An Zhiyu is always decisive in handling company affairs, and he rarely regrets his decisions.

Although Jiang Shuicheng didn't do anything outrageous, small things reveal a person's character. If she really becomes strong, she might turn around and bite the company in the future.

"Okay, you can handle it as you see fit. It's getting late, and Xiaxia has to go to school tomorrow. Hurry up and get ready for bed."
