Yao Manning was furious, but couldn't utter a single word in response.
Jiang Can's words were reasonable and well-founded, and everyone present laughed and turned to attend to their own business, ignoring Yao Manning.
Yao Manning thought that her large entourage would allow her to dominate the scene, but in the end, she still couldn't get what she wanted...
She pursed her lips tightly, her back teeth grinding together.
A short while later, the emcee walked onto the stage and displayed several paintings that were participating in the auction.
