Th…three million seven hundred thousand?
The auctioneer was momentarily stunned, but thanks to his excellent professional training, he quickly pulled himself back to reality.
Without waiting for Qian Benben to speak again, he hastily started the countdown: “Three million seven hundred thousand once…”
When Qian Benben uttered three million seven hundred thousand, he was equally stunned!
I clearly meant to say thirty-seven thousand, how did it turn into three million seven hundred thousand?
Buying a seal for three million seven hundred thousand, I am certain to be beaten by my father when I get home, and even my grandfather probably won’t look kindly on me.
Qian Benben immediately became anxious, constantly praying in his heart: “Bid…
hurry up and bid someone!”
When the auctioneer counted down to the second time for three million seven hundred thousand, everyone below the stage shook their heads, with no intention to enter the bid.
“Three million seven hundred thousand, third time, sold!” the auctioneer struck the gavel, shouting excitedly.
But to Qian Benben, this sound felt like a whip lashing his skin.
Qian Benben collapsed onto his seat, his whole body weak, his vision filled with golden light.
Those around him noticed his condition and hurried over to call him.
But no matter how they called out to Qian Benben, he showed no response.
Though Qian Benben was profligate, never in his life had he splurged over three million in one go.
How could his poor heart handle this?
Wu Xiaoyu feared he had lost his mind, hurried over, and checked his eyes.
Luckily, there was no major problem, just an inability to accept the situation momentarily!
Those who were close to Qian Benben rushed downstairs to call his grandfather.
When Qian Benben’s grandfather heard that his grandson had fainted at the auction, he hurriedly rushed up to the third floor.
Benben, what’s wrong with you?
Don’t scare your grandpa!” Qian Benben’s grandfather held him tightly, crying out.
The scene was chaotic.
Meanwhile, the few elders chatting in the meeting room heard from their subordinates that Qian Benben had fainted because he successfully bid a Jade Seal at a sky-high price.
Today was Elder Mu’s eightieth birthday.
He had invited his old subordinates, his old brothers to come for a joyful celebration and to reconnect.
But now, with such a sudden incident, how could he sit still?
Elder Mu stood up and led everyone up to the third floor.
Seeing Qian Benben still unconscious, he quickly ordered Wu Xiaoyu, “Xiaoyu, quickly save him!”
Instead of treating Qian Benben, Wu Xiaoyu went to Elder Mu’s side and whispered something to him.
Elder Mu, following his advice, announced, “Alright, I declare this Jade Seal auction void!”
Though Elder Mu was eighty years old, his voice was robust.
This announcement quickly spread through the room, and upon hearing it, Qian Benben jumped up and excitedly asked, “Really?
Seeing him act like nothing had happened, Qian Benben’s grandfather suspected he was faking it.
Although he was extremely angry, he couldn’t accept the auction being voided.
This way, not only would he have embarrassed himself in front of the Old Commander, but the present big merchants would also doubt his credibility.
Since he placed the bid, he must pay!” Qian Benben’s grandfather said firmly.
Qian Benben didn’t know why he blurted out a sky-high price, costing the family nearly four million.
He suddenly felt like a stray dog, following behind his grandfather without daring to say or do anything.
Elder Mu’s eightieth birthday party ended with these farces.
Although they had some secret activities planned for later, Bai Kainan couldn’t leave, so he arranged for Wu Xiaoyu and Bai Yun to rest on the sixth floor of the hotel.
Their rooms were right opposite each other.
Wu Xiaoyu took the room key, went back to his room, and took a shower.
Bai Yun also quietly returned to her room, reflecting on the day’s events!
First, she and Wu Xiaoyu were attacked by Qian Benben and Sunx Shangqiang.
Soon after, Elder Mu’s eldest son came out and called Wu Xiaoyu, stopping an impending fight.
This was because Elder Mu wanted Wu Xiaoyu to treat his illness, which seemed reasonable and not strange.
But why did Xiao Li behave so shamelessly in front of so many people?
Although she indeed was a slut, she wouldn’t be stupid enough to do that in public, right?
And Qian Benben’s participation in the auction was even stranger.
She was supposed to compete with him for a painting, but Wu Xiaoyu told her to watch Qian Benben make a fool of himself.
As it turned out, Qian Benben did bid a sky-high price.
How did he predict Qian Benben would make an absurd bid?
Or, was there any connection between Wu Xiaoyu and Qian Benben’s reckless bid?
If there was a connection, how did Wu Xiaoyu make Qian Benben suddenly act irrationally and call out such a high price?
The more Bai Yun thought about it, the less sense it made and the stranger it seemed.
Finally, she couldn’t resist and decided to look for Wu Xiaoyu for an explanation.
But when she reached Wu Xiaoyu’s door, she hesitated.
It was so late, would it be appropriate for a man and a woman to be alone in a room?
It might not sound good if word got out!
Bai Yun pondered for a long time, took out her phone, and prepared to call Wu Xiaoyu to meet downstairs for a chat to clear things up.
However, she called several times, but Wu Xiaoyu didn’t answer.
He was new in the city, so he likely wouldn’t have gone out, right?
Ultimately, Bai Yun knocked on Wu Xiaoyu’s door.
Just at that moment, Wu Xiaoyu had finished showering and opened the door with a towel wrapped around him.
“Damn!” Wu Xiaoyu, seeing Bai Yun at the door, quickly tightened his towel and explained, “I thought it was room service!”
Seeing him , Bai Yun felt there was nothing to avoid and walked in sideways.
But as she entered the bedroom, she was stunned speechless.
Bai Yun, turn off the TV!” Wu Xiaoyu called out from the bathroom while getting dressed.
Bai Yun didn’t listen to him.
When Wu Xiaoyu got dressed and reached the bedroom door, he saw Bai Yun standing there dazed and asked, “Why are you standing there like an idiot?”
As he pushed the door open and entered, he saw Li Qianqian lying on his bed, looking at them innocently.
After regaining some composure, Bai Yun slapped Wu Xiaoyu across the face and cursed, “You scumbag!”
Li Qianqian, seeing her hit Wu Xiaoyu, quickly jumped off the bed and yelled, “You shrew!
How dare you hit him?”
you pair of dogs!” Bai Yun’s chest heaved with anger as she cursed through gritted teeth.
Wu Xiaoyu swore he went straight to the bathroom to shower after entering the room and had no idea Li Qianqian was inside.
But would Bai Yun believe him now?
Bai Yun continued to scold, “Wu Xiaoyu, I invited you here!
And you brought this…
woman without telling me.
You even hide her in a golden bower, unwilling to part even for a moment!”
But Li Qianqian batted her eyes and said, “Sis, this is my grandpa’s birthday.
You are just a guest, so please don’t overstep your bounds!”
Hearing her words, Bai Yun realized she was Elder Mu’s granddaughter but still asked incredulously, “You’re saying…
Elder Mu is your grandfather?”
Li Qianqian continued to bat her eyes, implying this was her turf and that Bai Yun should show some respect.
