Every auction held by the Shen family is a gathering place for all the big shots from all the cities in J Province. If you don't have a net worth of hundreds of millions, no one will respect you.
The auction's guiding principle is to complete the auction in the shortest possible time and at the highest possible price.
Various rare herbs, rare jade, and even magical artifacts may appear, but they are very rare, provided you have enough money.
More and more people gathered in the hall, dozens of wealthy young men and women chatting about something.
"Shaoling, I heard that a lot of things have suddenly happened to the Xue family recently. You just got back, I wonder if you've heard about it?" A young man with his hair parted in the middle put his arm around the shoulder of another handsome man.
"Oh? Xiu Ming, explain yourself clearly, I really haven't heard anything about what happened." The rather handsome young man said, swirling the wine glass in his hand.
"Hey, first that sickly guy suddenly got better, and then a few days later, it seems he gave all the group's shares to someone else and even gave Miss Xue away," the young man named Xiu Ming said, completely bewildered.
If Shaoling hadn't been Xue Qiaoqiao's suitor, he wouldn't have bothered to mention it.
A snap.
"You mean Qiaoqiao was given away? And the entire Xue Group was taken with her?" Shaoling's face twitched.
Are you kidding me? I was only away for a few days. When I came back, not only was the woman I loved already taken, but her dowry had also been given away.
"You probably don't believe it either, but that's the truth. And that new chairman launched some kind of 'Immortal Elixir,' which, if consumed regularly, is said to strengthen the body and prevent all diseases," said the young man named Xiu Ming.
One of them was Tian Shaoling, the eldest son of the Tian family.
The other person is Han Xiuming, the eldest son of the Han family.
"The two of you seem to be having some disagreements. Isn't this a slap in Qianxue's face?" A beautiful woman in a cheongsam walked over.
It was Shen Qianxue, the only daughter of three generations of the Shen family, who had changed her clothes.
"Shen Qianxue, Qiaoqiao should be here by now, right?" Tian Shaoling asked.
"Look, isn't he over there? He's been there for quite a while. He went in with that new chairman," Shen Qianxue said truthfully, pointing to the private room.
It's been quite a while, hasn't it?
Tian Shaoling's veins bulged instantly. He walked up and wanted to see who dared to steal his woman.
Inside the private room, Gu Yan could hear their conversation clearly, but he didn't say anything, as he was being violently punished by Xue Qiaoqiao.
Knock knock knock.
Cough cough cough.
Xue Qiaoqiao suddenly looked up, startled by the knocking, and choked a little.
Then Gu Yan thoughtfully took the hem of her skirt and wiped it for her.
This earned her a roll of her eyes from Xue Qiaoqiao, who then straightened her clothes and opened the door.
"Qiaoqiao, it's been a long time," Tian Shaoling said.
But then his expression changed. He was a man too, how could he not smell that scent, those moist lips, and that white hem of the skirt?
“Tian Shaoling? Who gave you the guts?” Xue Qiaoqiao pointed at him directly and said, though she had a slight lisp.
"You, you, you bitch, how dare you point at me, you slut?" Tian Shaoling said with a grim expression.
At this moment, Gu Yan straightened his clothes and came out. He glanced at him and then said, "What did you just say? Dare to say it again?"
Tian Shaoling saw Gu Yan tidying his clothes and immediately flew into a rage.
The woman he had his eye on was snatched away by someone else.
"Hey you, you bitch, what? You dare touch me... Ah... Let me go." Tian Shaoling was laughing just a second ago, but the next second his arm was broken by Gu Yan.
Han Xiuming panicked immediately. This was what he had told Tian Shaoling. If something went wrong, wouldn't it all be his fault?
"Brother, Shaoling acted impulsively. I apologize to Miss Qiaoqiao," Han Xiuming said.
Gu Yan glanced at him, then broke a bone spur off Tian Shaoling's wound.
"Ah...you dog, there will be no place for you in the entire J province." Tian Shaoling said with a twisted expression. He would definitely tell his elders when he got back that they should bring martial artists to kill this brat.
"Brother Yan, we're not here to teach this bastard a lesson today, don't spoil the fun." Xue Qiaoqiao rubbed against Gu Yan's arm, looking a little worried.
"Chen Qianxue? If there's a next time, I'll smash up your place." Gu Yan said calmly, looking in one direction.
He then went back into the private room to continue enjoying Qiaoqiao's tenderness. He was a little annoyed at being interrupted, but of course, he mainly wanted to see Qiaoqiao's attitude.
If he were interested, he would have castrated him on the spot.
"Shaoling, let's go quickly. The wound is still fresh and should be able to be healed," Han Xiuming said, supporting the cripple.
"I will make him pay tenfold, ahh..." Tian Shaoling said, convulsing.
Shen Qianxue walked out from the shadows. She had just wanted to see what the new chairman was like, but she didn't expect him to be so unruly.
"Here's a pill for you. It'll be very effective in healing your injuries," Shen Qianxue said, handing them a pill before leaving.
Han Xiuming stuffed the contents directly into Tian Shaoling's mouth and then helped him downstairs.
"Brother Ming, what happened to Brother Ling?" A group of young men walked over and asked, looking at Tian Shaoling's miserable state.
"Shaoling, who hurt you? Tell your uncle." A middle-aged man ran over and said to his injured nephew.
Even if there are some disputes at home, you can't just stand by and watch your nephew get hurt without doing anything.
"Second Uncle, when we get back, treat the Xue Group as our biggest enemy. I want them to go bankrupt." Tian Shaoling didn't care whether his second uncle was being sincere or not; it didn't matter.
"Alright, alright, let's go get your injuries treated first." After saying that, the middle-aged man called two people to help Tian Shaoling away without looking back. He had already done his job of making a show of things.
Then, he said to a young man who looked seven-tenths like him, "Develop well, and I will gradually reduce his influence."
"I understand, Dad. I will try my best," the young man said excitedly.
Han Xiuming looked at these people speechlessly. Having too many people in a large family isn't necessarily a good thing. Luckily, his family wasn't that big. He then let out a sigh of relief, found a seat, and quietly waited for the auction to begin.
He also wants to buy some rare items to impress girls.
Not long after.
The auction has begun.
"Welcome everyone to Xiaoyao Manor for the auction hosted by my Shen family. I will be the one to preside over this auction," a woman in a cheongsam said from the high platform.
Suddenly, more than a dozen white screens appeared in the auction hall, projecting the scene on the auction stage.
Xiao Mengya also brought in Wanqing, who was late, and the two little girls.
Just as they were about to knock, the door suddenly opened by itself, and the women saw Xue Qiaoqiao, who was working hard.
"Ahem, Qiaoqiao?" Xiao Mengya covered her mouth and laughed.
"Cough...cough...Sister Mengya, why didn't you knock on the door?" Xue Qiaoqiao said, her cheeks flushed, and quickly wiped her mouth.
