Chapter 25: Disdain "Since you don't live by the sea, why should Bai Shao care...
Bai Shuxing sat down, leaned back in his chair, and said to the auctioneer on the stage, "Why are you still in a daze? Wait for me to cheer you on."
The auctioneer was startled and instinctively continued with what he had just said: "50 million universal coins for the first time, is there a higher price?"
Bai Shuxing had already turned his head to look at Mayor Chu who was sitting in seat No. 1, and curled his lips: "Mayor Chu, long time no see, how are you?"
Mayor Chu looked straight ahead at the stage and said calmly, "If you were less crazy and less troublesome, I would be better off."
Bai Shuxing grabbed the teacup on the small table, opened the lid, took a big gulp, and pouted his lips in disdain: "It tastes bad!"
After putting down the teacup, he looked at Mayor Chu again, his eyebrows slightly raised: "Mayor Chu, please don't wrongly accuse a good person. I have been very law-abiding in my little piece of land these days."
Mayor Chu's mouth twitched. Don't think he didn't hear the deliberately emphasized words "in my little piece of land".
Bai Shuxing hasn't been going crazy in City A these days, but has gone abroad to go crazy.
He killed 10 of Bloodrouse's 13 successors, and was then hunted down by Bloodrouse.
Bai Shuxing took a stroll outside and ran back to China. He had been working hard to intercept illegal immigrants who wanted to sneak into the country.
Mayor Chu snorted: "Don't kill yourself."
"It seems..." Bai Shuxing moved his head closer, "This knife of mine is quite useful. Mayor Chu is so used to it that he is reluctant to change it?" The auctioneer's voice covered up Bai Shuxing's deliberately lowered voice.
Mayor Chu was too lazy to pay attention to this bastard who didn't understand what was being said.
Bai Shuxing curled his lips in boredom and turned his head to the other side. When he saw Ling Siyan, his eyes lit up and he moved closer.
"Sister, you are so beautiful! I have never seen you before. What should I call you?"
Ling Siyan glanced at him and said calmly: "I am more than ten years older than you, you should call me aunt."
"How can you say more than ten years old? I'm barely 10 years old. Don't try to take advantage of me, sister. Besides," Bai Shuxing pretended to be curious, "Don't girls like to be called younger? Sister, why are you different?"
"Speak normally!" Ling Siyan frowned.
"Alright!" Bai Shuxing said seriously for a second, "Aunt is my aunt."
"Aunt Ling, can I ask you a question?"
Ling Siyan stared at the stage, her eyes fixed on it, and said calmly, "Don't disturb me while I'm filming."
Bai Shuxing glanced at the auction table: "Aunt Ling likes the earrings? I'll buy them for Aunt Ling?" Bai Shuxing called her Aunt Ling happily.
"Need not."
At this time, as Han Chengyu stopped bidding, the auctioneer quickly rang the hammer and announced that the first item had been sold.
The second auction item was brought up. Ling Siyan took a look at it and showed no interest. Then she turned her head to look at Bai Shuxing: "What do you want to ask? Ask!"
"Aunt Ling, why can you predict the future?" Bai Shuxing could only see the shape of his lips but could not hear the sound of the last four words.
When saying this, Bai Shuxing raised the corners of his lips slightly, with a hint of cynicism, but his eyes were full of inquiry.
Lu Xiao, who was standing beside Ling Siyan, saw the lip shape, tightened his grip on Ling Siyan's hand, and a flash of murderous intent appeared in his eyes.
Bai Shuxing felt it, looked up and showed a provocative smile.
But there is a solemnity in my heart that only I know.
This person is very dangerous.
Ling Siyan patted the back of Lu Xiao's hand and gave him a "reassuring" look.
He turned to look at Bai Shuxing with a blank expression: "I don't understand what you are saying."
"I don't understand~" Bai Shuxing's voice rose at the end, and suddenly changed the subject, "Then I don't understand! But——"
Bai Shuxing leaned forward slightly, his dark eyes looking extremely deep at this moment: "Aunt Ling, is there anything else you want to tell me?"
Ling Siyan stared at Bai Shuxing for two seconds, "Be careful of your stepmother."
A strange color flashed in Bai Shuxing's eyes, and then the corners of his lips rose, "Thank you Aunt Ling for reminding me."
Ling Siyan turned around and continued to look at the stage: "You're welcome."
Bai Shuxing leaned back in his chair and said nothing more. He slumped in the seat as if he had no bones.
The eyes hidden by the long bangs were unfathomable, and no one knew what he was thinking.
His eyes fell on Ling Siyan on the stage, but he was distracted for a moment.
Bai Shuxing, a madman!
A smart, sane lunatic, and possibly...
The items for auction later were calligraphy and paintings, antiques and the like. Ling Siyan was not interested in these things, so she did not bid.
Until the last item was brought up.
This is a set of jewelry including a necklace, earrings, bracelet and ring.
The entire set of jewelry is inlaid with ice blue diamonds and silver snowflakes, emitting a pure and noble light, dazzling and eye-catching.
Ling Siyan saw it and her eyes lit up unconsciously.
There is no woman who doesn't love beautiful jewelry, and Ling Siyan is no exception.
The auctioneer quickly introduced the finale item.
"As you can see, the whole set of jewelry is made of extremely rare ice blue diamonds. Blue diamonds symbolize tranquility, wisdom and loyalty, so its designer named it 'Snow Guardian'."
"I believe that all the ladies and gentlemen present here can't wait to bid for this set of jewelry for themselves or their loved ones. Well, I won't waste my words," the auctioneer smiled and announced its low price: "Its starting price is 50 million universal coins, and each bid increase must not be less than 1 million universal coins."
As soon as the starting price was announced, the light in many people's eyes went out.
This is just the starting price, and it is already the transaction price of the first piece of jewelry sold.
This price directly blocked most of the people present from bidding.
However, those who are capable have already started bidding.
Han Chengyu was looking at Ling Siyan's back in front of him, wondering what he was thinking.
Meng Shuyue shook Han Jisheng's arm and said in a tender voice, "Honey, I really like that set of jewelry. Can you take a picture of it for me?"
Han Jisheng's cheek muscles twitched, and he said unhappily, "Look at those people bidding now, which one of them is a pushover. Even if I bid for you, you may not be able to get this set of jewelry even if you spend 100 million. If you bid for it, our whole family will be left starving!"
Meng Shuyue curled her lips and stopped talking.
Just as Han Jisheng said, the price of "Snowland Guardian" quickly soared to 80 million, and only then did the bidding trend slow down.
Until the price gradually approached 100 million, only two people were left bidding.
Bai Shuxing looked at the jewelry on the stage, perked up a little, and turned his head to look at Ling Siyan: "Aunt Ling, do you like this set of jewelry? This is my donation! If you like it, I will take it back and give it to you, okay?"
Ling Siyan said in a calm tone: "The donated items are coming back, do you still want to save Mr. Bai's face?"
"What is face? How much is it worth?" Bai Shuxing said nonchalantly, "But if Aunt Ling is worried about my face, I can buy it or give it to you."
"No need!" Lu Xiao next to him could no longer bear it, "I'll buy it for her." As he spoke, Lu Xiao raised the number plate in his hand, "150 million."
The place suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked towards the source of the sound, wanting to see who was so arrogant.
He actually added 50 million directly!
When he saw clearly the person holding the sign, his eyes widened: Isn’t this the son-in-law that the eldest daughter of the Ling family brought home?
Suddenly, the shock in everyone's eyes turned into ridicule and disdain.
This is because he has gained power overnight, so he can't help but jump out to show his presence?
"Mr. Lu is very generous." Bai Shuxing applauded, and then changed the subject, "However, is the money Mr. Lu spent his own money? He would not spend his wife's money to buy a gift for his wife!" Bai Shuxing's eyes were playful.
Those who were listening with their ears perked up immediately shouted "good" in their hearts. Bai Shuxing expressed the thoughts of almost everyone present.
Only Ling Mo was the center of everyone's attention. He picked up the teacup and took a sip, with a sigh in his eyes that everyone was drunk but he was sober.
Before Lu Xiao could say anything, Ling Siyan looked at Bai Shuxing with dissatisfaction: "Did Mr. Bai buy a villa by the sea or an island on the sea?"
Bai Shuxing didn't understand what Ling Siyan meant by asking this question. He had already bought it, but if he played by the rules, he would not be Bai Shuxing.
Seeing Ling Siyan's unhappy expression, Bai Shuxing rolled his eyes and said, "I'm afraid of water, so I didn't buy any. Why is Aunt Ling asking this?"
Mayor Chu listened to this and his mouth twitched. You are afraid of water? This is simply the biggest joke he has heard this year.
It turns out that it wasn't you who jumped from the sky into the sea after the private plane was shot down a month ago, and then drove a speedboat on the sea to escape the killer who was chasing him.
Ling Siyan sneered: "Since you don't live by the sea, why does Mr. Bai care so much?"
As soon as Ling Siyan finished speaking, all the guests present silently worried for her.
Miss Ling, you are so brave to be so rude to this Jade-faced Shura!
Bai Shuxing was stunned for a moment, but he didn't show any sign of being angry. Soon his eyes rolled, he slapped his forehead, and immediately changed his words: "Look at my memory, I forgot. In fact, I bought it. I use it for stress desensitization training and live in it often!"
Bai Shuxing's eyes were filled with pride that said, "Now that I live by the sea, I can finally have more control over my affairs."
Ling Siyan understood and curled her lips slightly: "Then you can ask the country to issue you a 'Pacific Police' certificate."
Mayor Chu next to him couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Bai Shuxing heard it and immediately turned his head, eyes full of excitement: "Mayor Chu, can you give me one?"
Mayor Chu quickly waved his hand: "I am just a small mayor, I can't control so many things, I can't issue this certificate."
After this incident, no one dared to show their thoughts on their face, no matter what they thought in their hearts.
At the same time, he began to attach greater importance to Lu Xiao in his heart.
No matter what Lu Xiao's previous identity was, he is now the son-in-law of the Ling family, and the person that the eldest lady of the Ling family clearly wants to protect, so he cannot be looked down upon.
Finally, after the auctioneer called out three times, the hammer fell, announcing that the final item had been sold for "150 million universal coins", and also declaring the official end of this charity auction.
