"That'll be 68 yuan in total, cash or QR code payment?" The cashier asked expressionlessly as she packed the medicine into a bag. Even with triple pay, no one would be happy to work on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
After scanning the code, Yu Wan left the pharmacy with her bag. A young man walked hurriedly towards her and brushed past her.
"Hey, wait a minute." Yu Yi turned around in surprise and reached out to grab Yu Wan's arm: "Aren't you the girl from the airport that day..." Before he could finish saying "girl," the world suddenly spun around him, and he ended up lying on the ground.
He groaned, tears welling in his eyes from the pain. This girl is too fierce; she managed to take him down in one or two tries. She's got quite a personality.
By the time Yu Yiwang finally managed to get up from the ground, Yu Wan had already disappeared. Regretting it, he dusted himself off, bought a box of throat lozenges at a pharmacy, and returned to the airport terminal.
Seeing that his gait was somewhat unnatural, Madam Yu frowned slightly and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
"I'm fine." Yu Yiwang waved his hand, saying nonchalantly, "I slipped and fell because I was running too fast." He would never utter a word about being thrown over the shoulder by a girl, something so incredibly embarrassing.
Besides, given his mother's doting nature, she might, no, she definitely would, cause trouble for that girl.
Mrs. Yu didn't believe it. Could a fall really cause such serious injury? The back of her black coat was covered in dust.
Yu Yiwang opened the medicine box, took out a lozenge, and personally fed it to her: "Your throat is uncomfortable, this will definitely help."
Madam Yu's mouth was instantly filled with the taste of mint, and she laughed happily: "Let's hurry back, the auction is about to begin."
When Yu Yiwang wasn't looking, she gave her bodyguard a wink, and he understood and took a step back, heading towards the pharmacy.

This insignificant little incident didn't affect Yu Wan. In the coffee shop, she took Meng Shen's temperature, which showed 37.6 degrees Celsius, a low-grade fever.
"I already said I'm fine, I can just take some medicine." Meng Shen asked the waiter for a glass of warm water and took two pills according to the instructions on the medicine box.
While waiting, he researched online. The Guan family charity auction wasn't for just anyone; even his own father hadn't received an invitation. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was enough for him to show off for a while.
"Let's go, I can't wait to see my New Year's present." Meng Shen got up in a hurry, but after taking a few steps, he remembered something and turned back: "I have a serious question to ask."
Yu Wan glanced at him, lifting her eyelids slightly, and lazily hummed in agreement.
Do you have an invitation?
"No."
Meng Shen choked for a moment, puzzled: "...Then how are we going to get in later?"
Yu Wan replied absentmindedly, "You'll find out when the time comes."
Hearing this, Meng Shen became even more apprehensive, his mind racing. Was Wanwan planning to force her way in? Would they be thrown out? Or locked up in the police station for "education"?
The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became, so he secretly sent a message to Tang Yue.
[Meng Shen: Master Yue, do you have an invitation to the Guan family auction?]
For some reason, he was absolutely certain that Tang Yue could solve the problem. This confidence probably stemmed from… the younger brother's admiration for his elder brother?
pity.
There has been no reply from them for a long time.
Meng Shen immediately became as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
At this moment, Yu Wan was unaware that she had been betrayed. She hung up the phone and raised her chin at Meng Shen: "The driver has arrived, let's go."
Watching her walk away, Meng Shen gritted his teeth, swallowed his pride, and sent Tang Yue another message trying to gain sympathy.
[Meng Shen: Help!!! We're being carried out by security.]

The driver first took them to a luxury shopping mall.
"What are you doing here?" Meng Shen asked, puzzled.
Yu glanced up and down at his long down jacket that evening, then turned to the shop assistant and said, "Choose the most expensive one for him." There was no time to order a custom-made one on the spot, so she could only pick one that fit her just okay.
Auctions of that caliber are like walking the red carpet. If you go in dressed casually, even with an invitation, you definitely won't get in. And even if you did get in, dressing like an outsider would invite stares and whispers—why bother?
Wearing a formal dress is restrictive and troublesome, but not wearing one is even more troublesome. Yu Wan would rather choose the former.
The sales clerk was taken aback. It was rare for someone to make such a bold move as to pick out the most expensive dress in the store right away. No wonder the manager had called to specifically instruct him to take good care of this VVIP customer.
Meng Shen asked tentatively, "Are you going to pay for this too?" The GT-R50 will be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March this year, and he has been saving up his pocket money to buy his dream car at that time.
"I made a little money from stocks last year, just enough to spend as I please," Yu Wan said casually, raising her chin slightly. Since she'd tricked him into coming to the capital, she naturally had to cover all the expenses.
Upon hearing this, Meng Shen's eyes crinkled into a smile, and he deliberately adopted a high-pitched voice, bowing slightly in a very obsequious manner: "Thank you, my sugar daddy."
For a moment, the shop assistants looked at the two of them with very subtle expressions.
Yu Wan casually chose a bright red dress.
"You look so beautiful!" When she came out after changing her clothes, the shop assistant gasped and gave her a thumbs up in genuine admiration.
This dress has a simple and elegant design, and at first glance, it doesn't seem particularly special.
But Yu Wan looked quite different in it; her slender waist and long legs were accentuated by the red color, making her features appear even more delicate and beautiful. Coupled with her usual flamboyant aura, she became the center of attention the moment she stood there.
Meng Shen clicked his tongue twice, then secretly took a side profile photo and sent it to Tang Yue to see if he would be anxious this time.

The charity auction was held at a high-end hotel.
Upon arriving at the destination, Meng Shen learned how Yu Wan had obtained the invitation.
It wasn't until they entered the venue and Yu Wan shoved a glass of juice into his hand that he belatedly realized what had happened. He hurriedly pulled Yu Wan's arm to a corner and whispered, "How much did you spend on this in total?"
God knows how shocked he was when the guy claiming to be a scalper slipped two invitations through the car window. These Beijing scalpers have such a wide range of services!
Yu Wan raised her chin and said in a flippant tone, "It's just a few tens of thousands of yuan."
"I heard that everyone has to register with their real names. Will we be kicked out?" Meng Shen asked with a long face. If he lost face in Beijing, his old man would definitely beat him into a cripple.
"Don't worry." Yu Wan calmly patted his shoulder. "Even if the invitation was bought, it's still a contribution to charity. Besides, I'm here for you, don't worry."
The other party's calm and composed aura affected him, so Meng Shen gritted his teeth and decided to go all out: "Fine, I'll go crazy with you."
As the two left the corner, a soft laugh suddenly came from behind the huge curtain.
"That girl is not only pretty, but also quite interesting. Don't you think so, Yue Ye?"
