Back when the Jiang family was in power, Zhong Nuannuan had just returned to the Jiang family. When Jiang Shuwan brought Zhong Qianqian and Zhong Nuannuan along to attend banquets, she often dressed Zhong Nuannuan horribly while ensuring Zhong Qianqian always looked like a princess.
If they were present and knew that the country bumpkin of a daughter that they despised was not only the daughter of the Duke but also the chairman of Tianheng Holdings, would they regret how they treated Zhong Nuannuan?
The 77 luxury shopping malls around the world—designed in the style of classical townships—had become the most iconic landmarks in every key city in Camino. Furthermore, the big boss of the giant in this industry, the chairman, was actually a girl from their Jiang District—Zhong Nuannuan!
Forget the media, even the host of the auction beamed excitedly.
Ling Pinyuan, who was sitting at the back, was completely silent.
So…
Just how stupid was she to provoke the chairman of the Tianheng Holdings?
In her eyes, the Ling family was probably as powerless as a little chick.
No, to Tianheng Holdings, the Ling family did not deserve to get called a little chick. They were nothing more than an ant.
The Ling family’s worth of three billion was considered enough to make them one of the wealthy families in Jiang District. They could consider themselves the more well-known wealthy family too.
However, it was probably not even enough to build half of the building for Tianheng Holdings, not to mention the insane number of staff in management and the effort to attract investors after completing the construction.
“Duke Eton bid 160 million. Is there anyone with a higher bid?”
The host’s voice sounded on the stage again, but no one raised the bid anymore. Firstly, the price of this jade necklace had already far exceeded its original value. Secondly, Duke Eton had already announced that this was something he wanted to buy for his daughter. There was no way they could fight with Duke Eton.
“160 million going once.”
…
“160 million going twice!”
…
Just when everyone thought that no one would raise the bid again, a voice suddenly spoke.
“200 million.”
The crowd was in an uproar again. When they saw where the sound came from, they erupted into another uproar.
The bidder was none other than Chi Yang’s grandfather.
Although the old man wore ordinary clothes, he did not lose out to Duke Eton in terms of the way he carried himself. He was someone that even Wu Maosong, the richest man in Sea District, looked up to.
Everyone was astonished.
200 million!
It was just a necklace!
This was the amount of money that atypical wealthy families could not earn in their lifetime.
However, the old master offered that amount so easily.
Who exactly was he?
Who exactly was Chi Yang?
Duke Eton was also stunned. He exclaimed, “Grandpa-in-law?”
Old Master Chi chuckled. “Nuannuan is also my granddaughter-in-law. I also want to buy something that she likes.”
Duke Eton was stunned for a moment before bursting into hearty laughter.
Everyone, “…”
How willful could you be when you were that rich!
Who would not want such a wealthy grandfather?!
Nuannuan was so blessed!
“Alright, Old Master Chi bids 200 million once. Do we have a higher bid?”
…
“200 million going twice. Do we have a higher bid?”
…
“200 million! Sold!” Boom—
Just as the host was about to strike the hammer, a loud explosion startled everyone.
At first, everyone thought that it was a gimmick that the organizer of the auction created. Their misconception was quickly corrected when the whole building started to tremble violently after the deafening boom.
Some who stood up immediately after the explosion even stumbled onto the ground because of how violently the ground trembled.
Even the host on stage was caught off guard. When he fell to the ground, he grabbed onto a table…
