Chapter 27
Then, to Li Qingchen's utter rage, Qin Zhan stopped calling out.
As the gavel fell on the auction stage, "Congratulations, Mr. Li, on winning the bid for thirty million..."
Li Qingchen could no longer hear what was said after that.
All he knew was that he had spent nearly five times the price on a useless decorative item!
Li Qingchen was so ferocious that he looked like a demon, wishing he could draw his sword and chop Qin Zhan down!
Madam Li's face also turned pale; thirty million was no small sum for them.
But they set the price, so they couldn't and had no right to say no.
Otherwise, the Li family would definitely be disgraced, and she would be doomed once her husband returned from his business trip abroad.
Madam Li was filled with both hatred and fear, and in her heart she kept cursing Wen Xin as a jinx.
With a background like the Qin family, why would she pretend to be a poor orphan?
As a result, her son has now offended Qin Zhan, and he is targeting them at every turn.
Thinking of the Flying Bird Project, Mrs. Li felt her hands and feet turn cold.
Judging from Qin Zhan's expression, there's absolutely no way he'd support her son.
If he supports Li Nan, will the Li family still have a place for Li Nan and her son to live in the future?
However, if he refuses to cooperate with the Li family, Chairman Li will definitely not let him and his mother off when he returns and finds out that Li Qingchen caused the trouble.
Why are all these roads dead ends?
No, Madam Li suddenly looked at Han Yuying. As long as Achen married her and had the Han family's help, even if Li Nan got the Flying Bird Project, they wouldn't be without a chance of winning.
Han Yuying: "..."
Damn it, what bad luck!
But Madam Li had no choice, but did Han Yuying have one?
She didn't either. A few years ago, she disregarded everything and eloped abroad with a foreigner, which ruined her reputation. After she returned, which wealthy family would be willing to marry her?
Her father now favors the family's illegitimate children, and if she has no value in marriage alliances, her life will remain the same.
Han Yuying can only cling to Li Qingchen now.
Even though Li Qingchen has offended Qin Zhan to the point of death, he is still Chairman Li's only legitimate son, so there is still a chance for him in the future.
She didn't believe Qin Zhan would stay in H City forever.
However, Han Yuying unconsciously clutched her stomach, a wave of sorrow and despair rising in her heart.
Without children, how will she gain a foothold in the Li family?
But Han Yuying couldn't think about that now. All she could do was marry into the Li family and take it one step at a time.
"Yuying, you and Achen are getting engaged soon. The highlight of this auction is a purple-pink diamond. I'll do my best to bid for it and use it as your wedding ring."
Han Yuying's eyes lit up. She had seen pictures of that purple-pink diamond before; it was as beautiful as a blooming cherry blossom.
If she had such a wedding ring, she would definitely be very prestigious in high society circles.
"Purple and pink diamonds are quite expensive, Auntie, please don't spend the money."
Han Yuying lowered her head shyly and said sensibly.
Of course, Madam Li was also worried about the money, but for the sake of her and her son's status in the Li family, she had no choice but to spend a lot.
"You are my favorite daughter-in-law, so it's only natural to buy you a diamond, isn't it, Ah Chen?"
Han Yuying looked at Li Qingchen expectantly, but...
Li Qingchen sat there gloomily, as if he hadn't heard what they were saying at all, like a loser whose woman had been stolen by another man and who couldn't beat him, full of resentment.
Han Yuying's eyes turned cold, resentment, shame, and unwillingness gnawing at her heart.
She chuckled inwardly. This idiot Li Qingchen still hasn't seen reality?
Did he still think Wen Xin would come back to him?
Han Yuying didn't like Wen Xin, but she understood women.
When they love someone wholeheartedly, they are willing to give everything, but once their hearts turn cold, men are like a piece of freshly excreted poop in their eyes—discarded and disgusting.
Besides, judging from Qin Zhan's expression, he would never let Wen Xin leave again.
If Li Qingchen continues to indulge in wishful thinking, he is simply courting death.
But Han Yuying shouldn't try to persuade him, lest Li Qingchen develop a grudge against her.
Han Yuying looked at Madam Li with a wronged expression.
"Ah Chen, since Wen Xin is determined to break up with you, it just means you weren't meant to be. Let it go. Besides, it seems she's already with Qin Zhan..."
"Impossible, how could she be with Qin Zhan?"
Before Madam Li could finish speaking, Li Qingchen jumped up and retorted as if his tail had been stepped on.
"Didn't you see how intimate they were? I've heard that the Qin family found Qin Zhan a child bride since he was a child. Maybe Wen Xin was with you before just to spite Qin Zhan."
"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Li Qingchen roared, completely unable to accept it.
Wen Xin clearly loves him so much!
Madam Li was also furious. "Then what do you want to do? Beg and plead to get back together with Wen Xin? Aren't you afraid Qin Zhan will beat you to death?"
"Achen, don't forget, your fiancée is Yuying now!"
Li Qingchen's anger froze, and he unconsciously turned to look at the woman beside him. Seeing her gentle yet sad appearance, he felt a pang of guilt.
"Yu Ying, I..."
“Ah Chen, you don’t need to explain, I understand. People aren’t plants or trees. You’ve been dating Wen Xin for so long, how could you not have feelings for her? No matter what, I’m willing to wait for you here.”
Li Qingchen felt increasingly guilty. He held Han Yuying's hand tenderly, "No matter what, you are still the one I love the most."
Han Yuying: "..."
Haha, thank you so much!
At this point, the auction finally reached its climax.
The sparkling purple-pink diamond immediately attracted the attention of countless people when it was taken out.
Han Yuying stopped looking at Li Qingchen's greasy, goofy face and stared in amazement at the purple-pink diamond.
Wen Xin, who had been slacking off throughout the auction, couldn't help but sit up straight when she saw the beautiful diamond.
Qin Zhan's gaze remained fixed on her smooth profile.
No matter how beautiful the purple-pink diamond is, can it be as beautiful as her?
"like?"
He chuckled softly in her ear and asked.
Wen Xin nodded gently, "It looks good."
Qin Zhan said without hesitation, "I'll take a picture and send it to you later."
Wen Xin scolded him, "Stop wasting money."
Beautiful things don't necessarily need to be owned; just looking at them is enough.
Qin Zhan absolutely adored the way she bossed him around, and chuckled softly, "So virtuous?"
Wen Xin no longer wanted to talk to him because he was so blatantly taking advantage of her.
Qin Zhan played with her fair fingers, "The money your brother earns is for Ah Xin to spend, there's no need to save it."
The starting bid for the purple-pink diamond is 50 million.
Qin Zhanhao inhumanely doubled the price!
The people filming: "..."
Damn it, so what if you have money?
Is this the kind of price you're asking for?
Wen Xin also rubbed her forehead, not knowing what to say about this man.
The most furious were Madam Li and Han Yuying!
Qin Zhan is seriously ill!
