“Fifteen million for the first time, fifteen million for the second time…”
The auctioneer shouted loudly once again.
If not, lot 11 goes to the lady.”
Jiang You, impetuous as ever, was moments away from standing up and cursing the auctioneer out.
Everyone was stunned by the bid; the bracelet’s price had already tripled its earlier value.
Tang Sirou hadn’t expected the other party to shout a bid of fifteen million right off the bat; it was beyond her budget.
She originally thought the Jade Bangle was pretty and suited her temperament, so since she was here, she intended to bid for it.
“Fifteen million for the third time!”
The auctioneer looked around the room to make sure no one else would bid, then brought the gavel down toward number 11, saying, “Sold!
Congratulations to the lady in seat number 11, for acquiring the item at fifteen million.”
“Huh, Jiang Feng, did you just say Jiang You brought a child with her?”
Gu Beiyan stroked his chin, squinting at the dark corner below.
Then, Gu Beiyan nodded upwards and said, “Down there, in the right, in the direction of seat number 11, isn’t that a woman with a child?”
Jiang Feng looked in the indicated direction.
Um, it seemed to be true.
They hadn’t noticed in the past few minutes.
“Master, that figure looks indeed like the young lady,” said Jiang Feng.
He had heard descriptions of Jiang You’s outfit from the subordinates on the island today.
Jiang Yan looked up, and even though Jiang You was fully equipped, covering her face, he still recognized the watch on her hand – a unique birthday gift he had given her.
Yimo was also wearing a mask and a cap, completely concealing his features.
“Baby, let’s go, we’ll pay and then make a quick escape before your mommy comes after us,” Jiang You said, picking up Yimo.
“Mhm, okay,” Yimo wrapped his arms around her neck, nodding in agreement.
Their seats were towards the back and they left the auction hall soon after.
Then, someone escorted the aunt and nephew to the backstage for the transaction.
Meanwhile, Su He learned that they had come to Chilan Island and was heading to the port.
She had just left her house when a bank deduction message arrived on her phone.
Su He, you made a payment of 15,000,000 yuan to Yunshui Pavilion Auction House at 20:20 today.]
Seeing the message, Su He’s expression softened a bit.
Her card could only be used by Yimo.
Since he had made the transaction, it meant he hadn’t gone missing; she let out half a sigh of relief.
This little rascal starts his spending at ten million; is he trying to anger her to death?
Elsewhere, the aunt and nephew had just received the auction item and were ready to leave,
when they bumped into Jiang Feng coming their way.
“What the heck!” Jiang You was taken aback.
Why was Jiang Feng here?
Did that mean her brother was here too?
They were in deep trouble now!
Jiang Feng respectfully said, “Young lady, Master requests your presence.”
Afterward, he looked down at the small figure of Yimo standing quietly beside Jiang You.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t make out his face.
Jiang You instinctively stepped forward, shielding Yimo behind her.
This strengthened Jiang Feng’s belief that the child was certainly connected to the young lady.
“Young lady, this way please,” said Jiang Feng, gesturing with his hand.
Jiang You wanted to refuse, to turn and run.
But she was with Yimo, and even if she wanted to escape, she wouldn’t stand a chance against Jiang Feng.
Besides, the people of Yunshui Pavilion were her brother’s people.
The little guy behind her squeezed her hand, indicating that it was okay for them to go.
Only then did Jiang You follow Jiang Feng with Yimo in tow.
