Pei Yongshou and Qin Xuehua were also surprised to see Qin Sheng here, and their expressions changed.
Especially when they realized that the one who had just bid three million was actually Qin Sheng...
Qin Xuehua's face was extremely ugly: "Three million? Where did she get so much money? Could she have stolen it from our house when she left?"
Not only did others not believe this, but even Qin Xuehua herself did not believe it.
After all, three million is no small sum. If Qin Sheng really took such a large amount of money from their family, they couldn't possibly have been completely unaware.
Qin Xuehua couldn't fathom where a young girl like her, who depended on the Pei family for her livelihood, could have gotten such a large sum of money.
"Is anyone else bidding higher?"
"Three million once."
"Three million twice."
The auctioneer's voice came from above, and everyone finally came to their senses. They immediately forgot about Qin Sheng and started bidding.
Peiyuan Grass is a good thing, and the key is that it is rare. Although the price of three million is a bit high, it is not enough to scare away the group of wealthy and powerful people present.
In the blink of an eye, the price of Peiyuan Grass had soared to four million, and Pei Yongshou and his wife finally realized what was happening.
Pei Yongshou raised his bidding paddle and called out, "Four million five hundred thousand!"
The addition of 500,000 in one go was completely different from the previous tentative increases of 50,000 or 100,000, and everyone could clearly feel the Pei family's determination to win.
The people who were still bidding pondered for a moment, then decided it wasn't necessary to spend so much money on a single medicinal herb. After thinking it over, they put down their bidding paddles.
Pei Yongshou secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The Pei family was only at the bottom of the social hierarchy in Ancheng. If he had a choice, he certainly wouldn't want to spend so much money to buy a medicinal herb.
But there was no other way; his son needed it.
He took Qin Sheng's words to heart that day, so when he went to the hospital to set Pei Yu's bones, he also took him to the male reproductive department for a check-up. To their surprise, the results of the examination really shocked them!
Kidney deficiency and physical weakness, low sperm count and weak sperm motility make it very difficult to conceive.
This is outrageous!
Pei Yongshou was nearly forty when he finally had Pei Yu, his only son. He was hoping that Pei Yu would carry on the family line. If Pei Yu could not have children, wouldn't the Pei family line end?
Therefore, as soon as they heard that the auction included the herb Peiyuancao, which is believed to strengthen the body and replenish vital energy, the couple rushed over immediately.
No matter the cost, he must obtain this Qi-Nourishing Grass!
Four and a half million is not a low price for a single Qi-cultivating herb, and the auctioneer was clearly aware of this, so he only glanced at it before starting to call for bids.
"Four million five hundred thousand per time!"
"Four million five hundred thousand twice!"
"Four million five hundred thousand..."
Five million.
A clear, cold voice drifted over, and the auctioneer's hammer, which had been slowly falling, came to an abrupt halt.
The venue was completely silent until a long time later, when a collective gasp of surprise rippled through the room.
"Qin, Sheng!"
Qin Xuehua finally realized what was happening, her voice almost squeezed out through clenched teeth.
She slammed her hand on the sofa armrest, about to start yelling, but Pei Yongshou stopped her in time.
Qin Xuehua angrily retorted, "Why did you pull me?!"
Pei Yongshou gave her a meaningful look: "Since she wants to save us money, we should just accept it. Why are you angry?"
Qin Xuehua snapped to attention and realized what was happening.
yes!
You have to understand that Qin Sheng is the adopted daughter of the Pei family. She is a minor, so her things are theirs. So what if she took them? They can just take them back later!
Thinking this way, Qin Xuehua's anger subsided, her heart calmed down, and she even glanced at Qin Sheng with a mocking look, cursing inwardly: "You little bitch, let you be so smug, let you be so arrogant, you'll regret it soon!"
The auction was drawing to a close, and people were gradually leaving the venue.
Qin Sheng didn't move, waiting for the staff to bring over the Peiyuan Grass.
Before they even received the food, Qin Xuehua arrived first.
Qin Sheng lifted her eyelids slightly, and asked expressionlessly, "What is it?"
Qin Xuehua couldn't stand her expressionless face the most, and she was extremely annoyed. However, thinking of the purpose of her visit, she forced herself to put on a smile.
"Sheng Sheng, you've had enough of your tantrum. Once you've vented your anger, come home with Mom. Look at you, a girl, who has been gone for the past two days and nights. What will people think of you?"
Qin Sheng: "What's it to you?"
Qin Xuehua's smile froze. She barely managed to control her anger and continued, "Sheng Sheng, Mom knows you're angry with me, but family members shouldn't hold grudges overnight!"
"Yes, Mom was wrong. Mom shouldn't have hit you. But you have to understand, Mom did it all for your own good. You're a girl, and a girl's reputation is more important than anything. Mom doesn't want to see you make one mistake after another, ruining your brother and ruining yourself!"
Even now, they still haven't forgotten to smear her and whitewash Pei Yu.
Qin Sheng chuckled lightly, losing interest in dealing with her.
Qin Xuehua had been performing her amazing rap for a while when she looked down and saw that Qin Sheng was still sitting in that bossy pose with his legs crossed and one hand on his phone. Her heart clenched and she almost couldn't hold back her tears.
However, a quick glance revealed that many people who were about to leave had stopped and were looking over. A thought struck her, and she suddenly covered her face and began to sob.
"Sheng Sheng, your little brother is still waiting for the Peiyuan Grass to save his life. Even if you're angry with your mother, you can't just abandon him. You two have grown up together since you were little!"
"Please, I'm begging you, just give me the Qi-Nourishing Grass! I'll do whatever you want with me!"
"Help?" Qin Sheng pondered these two words, seemingly lost in thought. "The lifeblood of my manhood?"
“Then you’ve come to the wrong person. The Peiyuan Grass can strengthen the body’s foundation, nourish the spirit, but it’s useless for infertility,” Qin Sheng glanced at her, “.
Qin Xuehua's expression suddenly changed. She never expected that Qin Sheng would say such a thing in front of so many people!
Keep in mind that Pei Yu is only sixteen years old and doesn't even have an engagement yet. If this gets out...
Qin Xuehua couldn't even imagine what the consequences would be!
Qin Xuehua was in a state of extreme panic. She instinctively shouted, "What nonsense are you spouting? Who is infertile!"
She would have been fine if she hadn't said anything, but then she shouted...
Well, the expressions of the people who had only stopped out of curiosity to watch the excitement immediately became subtle.
Infertility...
This wasn't the first time Qin Sheng had witnessed Qin Xuehua's lack of common sense, but at this moment, she still couldn't help but say, "..."
She felt that talking to someone like that was a bit of a mental drain.
but……
"Didn't I say I'd do whatever you wanted?" She gestured with her chin behind Qin Xuehua, her voice low and indifferent. "Then pay up."
Whether or not one's intelligence is reduced can be put aside for now; money is the most important thing.
Qin Xuehua: "...What did you say?"
It was unbelievable, so unbelievable that he even blurted out his dialect, which he hadn't spoken for over a decade.
