Ye Weiwei never intended to bid for number eight in public. She just wanted to muddy the waters, prevent those people from getting their hands on the item so easily, make them bleed money, and disgust them at the same time.

As for the celadon vase number eight, she had already left a mental imprint on it. As long as it was within her mental perception range, she could store it into her space using the mental imprint.

With the bidding price reaching one million, Ye Weiwei was still raising her paddle to increase the price. The person who was assigned to bid was sweating profusely and had bloodshot eyes. He wished he could tear Ye Weiwei apart!

But he couldn't expose himself, so he had to grit his teeth and bear it, watching the price rise to a number that made his heart race.

"It seems number eight is quite interesting. Well then, I'll join in the fun. I'll offer 1.1 million! I wonder if Miss Ellie could do me the honor and let me have it?"

Ye Weiwei looked at Zuo Chenglong with dissatisfaction, and he gave her a wicked smile, his eyes revealing great interest.

Ye Weiwei: ……

Finally, unable to hold back any longer, they started to participate.

However, Zuo Chenglong is really hard to believe.

Thinking that her second brother was still in his ore warehouse, Ye Weiwei lowered her eyes, hiding the murderous intent rising within them.

Qin Xiao coldly looked at Zuo Chenglong, "This is an auction. If Young Master Zuo wants it, let's bid fairly. What kind of hero bullies my female companion! I'll bid 1.2 million!"

Zuo Chenglong pressed his tongue against his back teeth. "Young Master Yu is truly generous and magnanimous. Alright, let's do as Young Master Yu says. I'll offer 1.3 million!"

Qin Xiao: "One million four hundred thousand!"

Zuo Chenglong: "One and a half million!"

Qin Xiao: "One million six hundred thousand!"

Zuo Chenglong: "One million seven hundred thousand!"

Qin Xiao: "One million nine hundred thousand!"

Zuo Chenglong's eyes darkened, and he gritted his teeth as he said, "Two million!"

Just as Qin Xiao was about to raise the price again, Ye Weiwei reached out and tugged at his sleeve, stopping him, "Young Master Yu, forget it, if Young Master Zuo wants it, let's give it to him. Let's look at the next item."

Qin Xiao looked at Ye Weiwei with displeasure: "Are you doubting my abilities?"

Ye Weiwei quickly replied in a sweet and gentle voice, "How could that be! I just think it's not worth spending two million on something like this. Why be a sucker?"

Zuo Chenglong, the sucker: ...

Seeing that Zuo Chenglong's face was as black as soot, Qin Xiao laughed and said, "Alright, whatever you say. Congratulations, Young Master Zuo."

Zuo Chenglong was so angry that his heart, liver, spleen, and stomach were aching, but he could only swallow his anger and resentment, because no matter how much it cost, they had to get number eight.

He replied with a forced smile, "Then thank you very much, Young Master Yu."

After saying that, he looked at Ye Weiwei and said, "I must thank Miss Ellie."

Ellie pouted: "You're welcome! I hope that next time I want something, Young Master Zuo won't try to take it from me."

Zuo Chenglong hadn't brought much money with him, so he took this opportunity to back down, saying with great poise, "Alright, as long as Miss Ellie likes it, I definitely won't ask for a price."

The auction continues.

Ye Weiwei then won three more auction items, all of which were very valuable and could be directly donated to a museum.

One of the sundials was the one the female protagonist had spent a fortune to buy at an overseas auction and then donated to the country, which earned her a lot of good reputation.

Unexpectedly, they met here, so Ye Weiwei naturally took it without hesitation.

The final item to be auctioned was the Golden Crow Sun Goddess brought by Qin Xiao, with a starting bid of one million.

Smith, who hadn't raised his sign the entire time, was the first to do so: One million!

The entire room fell silent.

Ye Weiwei almost rolled her eyes, but put on a look of surprise and speechlessness as she looked at Qin Xiao: "Young Master Yu, it's us! It's us! Mr. Smith has taken a liking to our items!"

Qin Xiao's usually arrogant expression finally crumbled, and he couldn't hide the surprise on his face.

"Thank you, Mr. Smith, for giving us this opportunity!"

Smith nodded arrogantly and said in English, "You have just demonstrated the Yu family's strength to me. I look forward to cooperating with you!"

Qin Xiao laughed and said, "As expected, my little scheme couldn't escape Mr. Smith's eyes. Please excuse my blunder."

Smith extended his hand and said, "It's a pleasure doing business with you!"

Qin Xiao quickly extended his hand to shake hands with him: "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you!"

After the auction ended, Smith left with the items he had won.

Qin Xiao and Ye Weiwei were surrounded by people on the field.

Many people approached Qin Xiao and Ye Weiwei, trying to get close to them and ask for cooperation, making it difficult for them to move an inch.

Shi Shuangshuang looked at Ye Weiwei, who was being fawned over by everyone, her eyes filled with insane jealousy. Clearly, that position should belong to her!

When they finally managed to break free from the crowd and were about to leave, they found Zuo Chenglong and Ai Xue standing there at the door, clearly waiting for them.

The two were about to leave as if they hadn't seen each other, but Ai Xue called them back.

"Cousin, cousin..."

Ye Weiwei coldly interrupted Ai Xue: "Stop! Don't try to get close to me. I have nothing to do with your family anymore. Don't call me cousin anymore! Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Ai Xue paused, then looked at Ye Weiwei with a hostile gaze: "I'm sorry, if I did anything to upset you, cousin, you can hit me or scold me, but please don't say anything hurtful anymore. After all, we are family connected by blood, and blood ties cannot be severed!"

Ye Weiwei couldn't help but roll her eyes, too lazy to look at this self-absorbed woman anymore, and said to Zuo Chenglong rudely, "Young Master Zuo, please keep your people in check. If she comes to provoke me again, don't blame me for hurting Young Master Zuo's feelings."

Zuo Chenglong laughed and said, "She's just a plaything. If Miss Ellie wants to vent her anger, she can do whatever she wants."

Ai Xue was shocked, "Young Master Zuo..."

Zuo Chenglong coldly looked at Ai Xue: "Shut up! Useless thing, who gives you the right to speak here?"

Ai Xue was so frightened that she dared not speak again and stood aside in fear.

Don't be fooled by Zuo Chenglong's seemingly normal appearance now; this man is actually a madman, capable of anything when he goes berserk.

The Ai family moved away from Hong Kong a long time ago, and now they have no support in Hong Kong. If something happens to her, her parents, who are far away overseas, will not be able to save her at all.

After reprimanding Ai Xue, Zuo Chenglong smiled and invited Qin Xiao and Ye Weiwei, "We recently received a batch of new jadeite. We'll be opening an auction for jadeite tomorrow. Here's an invitation. If you two are interested, why not come and have a look?"

After saying that, his gaze fell on the set of imperial green jewelry that Ye Weiwei was wearing. "It seems that Miss Ellie is also a lover of jade, so she probably won't refuse."

Ye Weiwei was indeed quite tempted. She secretly squeezed Qin Xiao's arm and looked at him expectantly with her clear, bright eyes.

Qin Xiao took the invitation, glanced at the address, and said, "Then I'll go check it out tomorrow!"

He looked at Ye Weiwei with doting eyes: "Didn't you say that your Ai family made their fortune by gambling on stones? You'll be my advisor in the future."
