"What's the use of being good-looking if you're quiet and don't like to talk?"

Shen Linfeng sullenly unscrewed the water bottle and took a sip.

The Su Li used to be very talkative and cheerful. He pursued her for a long time before winning her over. But now she seems like a different person, cold and aloof, without a trace of human warmth.

If it weren't for her beauty and good figure, he wouldn't have had the patience to keep coaxing her.

"Isn't that a cold and aloof beauty? Women like that are the easiest to win over; all you need to do is put in a little effort."

Shen Linfeng raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean? What's your plan?"

The man whispered a few words in his ear.

After listening, a meaningful smile appeared on Shen Linfeng's face.

"Is there anyone else bidding?" the host asked again.

"I'll count down from three. If not, then this one belongs to this gentleman."

"One, two..."

"Eight million!"

The host exclaimed in shock when he saw the sign held up behind him.

Everyone turned their heads and looked in that direction.

I could vaguely see a person sitting in that corner, backlit, so I couldn't make out their face.

Song Wan frowned and said, "What's going on? That person dares to match your price. He's really asking for trouble."

Quan Ye, however, didn't take it to heart and found it extremely amusing.

He raised his cards again, "Ten million!"

"Twelve million!" the man added.

Shen Linfeng said, "These people are crazy. They're asking an outrageous price for a broken earring."

Quan Ye raised his paddle again, "Fifteen million!"

Su Li lightly tugged at her mask and continued, "Eighteen million!"

"Fifty million!"

Song Wan tugged at his sleeve, "Aye, it's just an earring. If that person wants it, let's give it to her."

Quan Ye is not someone who easily admits defeat, and money is the last thing he lacks.

After he shouted out fifty million, the person behind him fell silent.

He turned around and gave it a cold glance. The dark figure moved, as if hesitating.

Su Li was indeed struggling with the decision.

She silently calculated in her mind that the money and all the gifts Quan Ye had given her over the years totaled tens of millions.

If the amount exceeds this limit, she won't have any extra money.

But that earring originally belonged to her.

The host cleared his throat. "Would you like to continue with the price?"

She gritted her teeth and raised the card.

"Fifty-two million!"

This is already her limit.

Quan Ye raised an eyebrow, but this time he didn't follow.

Song Wan noticed his expression and was surprised. Was he just laughing?

Is bidding this fun?

"Ah Ye, aren't you going to continue?"

"No point, let her have it."

Quan Ye tossed the sign aside, got up, and left.

"Hey, wait a minute."

Song Wan picked up her bag and hurriedly followed.

The host made the final decision, "Congratulations to the woman in the shadows, whose identity is unclear, for successfully bidding on the earrings. Congratulations to her."

Intermittent applause rang out from the audience.

At the same time, everyone cast sympathetic glances at her. How could she possibly survive in this industry if she dared to challenge Master Quan?

Su Li breathed a sigh of relief and got up to leave.

The items from the auction can only be collected from the finance department after the auction ends.

Su Li wanted to sit outside for a while and come back in after it was over.

As soon as I entered the lobby, I saw Song Wan and Quan Ye appear at the door.

"Ah Ye, are you leaving already? Aren't you going to wait for me?"

Song Wan's graceful figure stood beside him, petite and charming, a perfect match.

Quan Ye raised his hand to look at his watch, his profile flawless. "I have a meeting, so I can't stay with you. Take another look by yourself."

"Look at you, your tie is all messed up."

Song Wan tiptoed to help him tidy up.

"Miss, please make way."

Su Li was standing in the middle, blocking the way, the waiter reminded her.

She quickly moved aside.

The two of them looked over.

Quan Ye gently pushed Song Wan's hand away and looked at her, saying, "Come here."

Su Li originally wanted to remain invisible, but now she has no choice but to bite the bullet and go.
