Chapter 53: A Grand Celebration
Yu Wan pursed her lips. She didn't like the tone of being questioned.
What's more, the people who are with Mrs. Qian must be members of the Qian family, and she has no good feelings towards any member of the Qian family.
Liu Lianfang stepped forward and put on a show, "This is Yu Wan, who are you?"
Old Mrs. Qian was arrogant and didn't even bother to answer Liu Lianfang. Instead, Mrs. Qian took the initiative to explain, "This is the old lady of the Qian family, my mother-in-law."
Liu Lianfang was disdainful in his heart, but his expression remained calm. "So that's how it is. There are simply too many people here today, whether they are people we know or not. We don't have time to look through the names of those we don't know and check their identities one by one, so it's inevitable that we'll be careless, right?"
The subtext is that the Qian family came even without an invitation.
Mrs. Qian looked uncomfortable, but she didn't know what to say.
With her mother-in-law around, it was naturally not her turn to speak. But even if her mother-in-law was not around, she would not dare to act presumptuously today. She was "shocked" not long ago, which made her know that there are always people better than you, especially in other people's territory, and being arrogant can easily lead to losses.
Old Madam Qian didn't take Liu Lianfang's words to heart, so she didn't understand the sarcasm. She still looked at Yu Wan with contempt, "I heard that you can treat illnesses, so why don't you go to the Qian family for treatment?"
The tone of questioning at the beginning made Yu Wan laugh. "You are so interesting. Why should I go to the Qian family for treatment?"
Madam Qian's face darkened. "You really don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. You think that you are great just by holding an auction. Let me tell you, an auction like this cannot be held even if our Qian family wants to."
This time, not only Yu Wan laughed out of anger, but Liu Lianfang also laughed out of anger, "Old lady, have you forgotten that this is G City, not H City? I really don't believe that your Qian family can cancel this auction."
Old Madam Qian then glanced at Liu Lianfang and said, "How can you interrupt an elder when he is talking? You really don't know the rules. Didn't your mother teach you how to behave?"
After that, Madam Qian said directly to another person beside her, "Old Zhou, I think today's auction is not qualified to be held. What do you think?"
Only then did Yu Wan and Liu Lianfang notice a middle-aged man who had been following Mrs. Qian. He looked to be in his forties, wore a pair of glasses, and seemed easy to talk to, but when he opened his mouth he surprised everyone.
"If the old lady thinks that you are not qualified, then you are not qualified. I will have someone investigate it thoroughly."
Liu Lianfang frowned and was about to ask who he was when someone came over and whispered, "He is Zhou Zhihui, the head of the Provincial Bureau of Culture and Art."
Liu Lianfang: “…”
The relevant information was handled by professionals, including the application for the auction qualification. She did not participate in the whole process, so she did not know Zhou Zhihui. She did know him from the previous session, but she had not had the chance to meet the new person in charge.
Liu Lianfang, who had not taken Mrs. Qian's words seriously, suddenly panicked. Originally, the auction had to be approved by the Bureau of Cultural Affairs, and now that the key person said it did not meet the requirements, it would only take a few minutes to cancel it.
If that happens, she'll be finished. So many people come to the auction, but at the last minute it's said that it can't be held?
Not to mention that she will not be able to hold her head up in the circle in the future, how is she going to explain it to everyone right now?
Liu Lianfang bit her lip, feeling a little unwilling for a moment. She didn't expect that she would be bullied by others on her own territory.
She was not someone who could not bow her head, but in this case, it was not enough for her to just apologize. The old woman's target was obviously Yu Wan.
Sure enough, Old Lady Qian smiled sarcastically and looked at Yu Wan. "Look, what you think is so great is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Qian family. I want you to bow three times to apologize to me in person and then come with me. This auction can continue, otherwise you can't afford the consequences."
Zhou Zhihui is her relative from her mother's side. He may not be able to help with other things, but he happens to have a say in matters like the auction.
Mrs. Qian was shocked when she saw the reversal of the situation. Although she had been married to the Qian family for many years, she had not met many relatives from her mother-in-law's family. She did not expect that the old lady had such connections and could play such an effect at the critical moment.
His back straightened immediately, and he felt as if he had avenged himself.
She could still vividly remember how she was scared to the point of peeing in front of Yu Wan, and the shame made her feel extremely annoyed.
But due to Mr. Huo's relationship, she couldn't do anything to Yu Wan.
Naturally, I felt very depressed.
It's ok now.
Isn’t Yu Wan very tough? It's funny that she refused to come despite being invited several times and now she's been slapped in the face in her own place.
Mrs. Qian waited proudly for Yu Wan to bow and apologize.
Bowing and apologizing in public was much more humiliating than her.
I have to say that the old witch's methods are much more cruel than hers. She directly tramples on other people's dignity and doesn't give them any face at all.
Liu Lianfang didn't expect the Qian family to be so excessive. Just as he was about to say something, he was stopped by Yu Wan.
Because there was a WeChat message on her phone.
When the message came at this critical moment, she had a feeling, it must be Xiaoyao!
Facts proved that Yu Wan's premonition was correct.
[Ding Dong!] 】
[Xiaoyao: Don’t say anything. Let the Qian family handle it. Just do what you are supposed to do. 】
With these words, Yu Wan felt relieved instantly and said to Liu Lianfang, "Let's go, there are still many things to do."
After saying that, he pulled Liu Lianfang away.
Seeing Yu Wan's confident look, Liu Lianfang couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Do you have any countermeasures?"
Of course Yu Wan had no solution, but since Xiaoyao said that, it must be okay, "Just believe me."
Liu Lianfang believed it.
When Madam Qian saw Yu Wan leave so rudely, her expression did not change at all, but her words were chilling, "Young people nowadays do not know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. It's all because they have been too successful. Once they suffer a few times, they will know the severity of the situation."
When Mrs. Qian heard this, she knew that her mother-in-law would not give up, and she felt a surge of anticipation.
Think about how powerful the Qian family is in H City, but now that they have arrived in G City, no one takes them seriously. They should make a big fuss to let others know how powerful the Qian family is.
Of course Zhou Zhihui understood what the old lady meant, and immediately took out his phone and made a call.
"Send a few people over to check..."
It is said to be an investigation, but in fact it is just a formality, and then what needs to be done will be done.
Yu Wan and Liu Lianfang checked some more links, and when they were halfway through, they heard a commotion coming from the door.
Someone must have come again, but the noise is so loud that it doesn't seem to be a good thing. Thinking about what Old Lady Qian said, could it be that she has asked someone to come? Liu Lianfang was a little panicked. "You stay here and watch. I'll go out and take a look."
Yu Wan still had the list of items in her hand, but she was still worried, so she followed him out.
Sure enough, a group of people came in at the door.
A majestic feeling.
Everyone in the hall couldn't help but look over.
Old Mrs. Qian also looked over and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
"It's well done, and the show is quite grand."
