Thinking back to how He Yuan specifically sent someone to inform her to come, could it be so that she could meet He's mother here?
Ye Shuping didn't know He Yuan or his mother, but urged, "Xiaoyi, it's time to make a bid."
Cheng Yi began with difficulty, "I..."
Is she going to compete with He Yuan in bidding?
Mother He must be very unhappy.
As she hesitated, she saw He's mother look at her with delight, her eyes filled with excitement, and she called out silently from afar, "Xiaoyi."
Cheng Yi nodded subtly, but couldn't offer a more obvious response.
She immediately turned her head and said, "Mom, this antique vase is so ugly, let's just get rid of it."
Ye Shuping immediately frowned and said unhappily, "Filming is secondary. Our goal is to increase the Cheng family's influence in City A. Have you forgotten what I just told you?"
Cheng Yi bit her lip: "But... this vase is really ugly..."
Ye Shuping squinted her beautiful eyes, looked at her, then at He Yuan behind her, and suddenly thought of something, and said, "I remember now, he is He Yuan, the eldest son of the He family, right? You can't bear to fall out with the He family and sever your ties with them, can you?"
Cheng Yi froze when asked the question. She hadn't expected Ye Shuping to be so clever as to guess He Yuan's identity so quickly. She immediately grabbed Ye Shuping's arm and said, "Mom, what are you thinking? I just think that since we filmed so much tonight, we should leave some for others to film. Otherwise, they won't come to future events, and where will our Cheng family be able to show off?"
As she spoke, she massaged Ye Shuping's shoulders again, "Mom, you've been sitting for too long. Let's take a few more pictures and then go back."
Ye Shuping was not so easily fooled, but her anger subsided after hearing Cheng Yi's words. As long as Cheng Yi was willing to coax her and sever ties with the He family in front of her, she could not go too far, lest she lose touch with her own daughter.
She nodded and said, "Okay, then we don't need this one, but you have to take pictures of the rest."
Cheng Yi was overjoyed. She showered Ye Shuping with praise, commending her for her tolerance, elegance, and grace, saying she was truly worthy of being her mother.
When Mother He saw that Cheng Yi and He Yuan had stopped bidding against each other, a relieved smile appeared on her face. If Cheng Yi had really gone against He Yuan, she would definitely have had some thoughts about Cheng Yi.
In the end, He Yuan successfully obtained the vase and said, "Jingjing's room is missing a decorative item, so this is perfect for her room. I'll have someone buy some lucky bamboo later and put it in Jingjing's room."
Mother He's eyes lit up with pleasure: "It's up to you to decide."
After this experience, she silently decided that it didn't matter how much He Yuan and the others favored He Jing, as long as Cheng Yi was doing well and she still cared about her, that was enough.
After bidding on the vase, several more items were auctioned off. Towards the end, the auction house suddenly dropped a bombshell.
"Thank you for taking the time to attend this auction. In order to ensure that you do not leave disappointed, we have prepared something special for you, which is... Konia's Garment."
"Kenya's Garment was donated by Mrs. Yang of Waterfront Properties. It is valued at 500,000. The minimum bid increment in this auction is 20,000. All proceeds from the auction will be donated to the Hope Foundation."
...
Cheng Yi, who was sitting in the VIP section, had a bright look in her eyes. Ye Shuping said, "You're going to Yan's annual meeting soon, so take the opportunity to let Chairman Yan meet you and take a picture of this dress."
