Chapter 762: Chapter 762 Tricked (2)_1

So, his earlier shameless thanks to her were just setting up the pitch for this very moment...

What else could Xia Wan’an say? She forced a smile and nodded at Han Jingnian: "Of course, I really must thank Mr. Han for today."

"So Miss Xia must be very grateful to me, right? So, if I ever need a favor from you, you won’t refuse, would you?"

The helpless Xia Wan’an, unable to find an excuse to evade this dilemma, just continued to smile: "No, of course, I wouldn’t refuse."

"In that case, could you give me your contact number, Miss Xia? I might need your help with something in a few days."

So, he traveled all this distance just to corner her at this very point!

No doubt, the man remains as sly as ever, despite her being extra cautious, she was still played...

Suppressing the annoyance welling up inside her, Xia Wan’an nodded and smiled at Han Jingnian: "Sure, Mr. Han. My number is..."

After Xia Wan’an rattled off her digits, Han Jingnian whipped out his phone, punched in the numbers on his screen. Only after Xia Wan’an’s phone rang did he put it away, glancing at the bathroom behind her: "I’ll leave you alone then, Miss Xia."

"Okay, Mr. Han."

Han Jingnian said nothing more and turned to leave the restroom.

It was not until Han Jingnian’s figure disappeared from the restroom exit that Xia Wan’an dropped her smile, cursing Han Jingnian in her heart, before she finally entered the restroom.

She barely stepped into a stall and locked the door when the stall opposite her opened, Ai Jiang emerged with a mysterious look.

After so much effort stirring up some folks, leading them to assume she tried to fling herself at Han Jingnian, she received nothing but gossip about her, and yet Han Jingnian...

How on earth would Han Jingnian defend this woman?

To claim that she threw herself into his arms, wasn’t it clear that he was the one clinging to her, not the other way around?

She already attracts enough attention, and now... add Han Jingnian to the mix, this woman named Wanwan... Wouldn’t she become a centerpiece in the circles of Beijing after tonight?

No, she wouldn’t allow it. Since these minor schemes have all failed, no matter what it costs, she must become the image ambassador at the charity night!

...

Xia Wan’an came out of the restroom and returned to the venue, with less than a minute remaining before the gala began.

She found her seat and sat down just as the host ascended the stage and began his impassioned opening remarks.

She glanced around, Lin Chen, Han Jingnian, and Han Zhijin were sitting in the front row, she was sitting on the left of the third row, Ai Jiang was in the middle of the second row...

After the host had livened up the atmosphere a bit, he quickly proceeded to auction off the first item.

It was a jade bowl.

She didn’t come here to bid on items, so she wasn’t particularly interested and didn’t pay too much attention to who was bidding. She only knew that the final bidder was an old man surnamed Chen.

When the third item was being auctioned, Lin Chen, who had been talking to the person beside him in the front row, surprisingly began to bid: "One million."

Xia Wan’an glanced at the item; a gemstone, small in size was already overstretched at five hundred thousand. Yet, this fool just blabbered one million, talk about a fool and his money!

"Two million." Almost synchronously, as Xia Wan’an’s thoughts settled, Han Jingnian, who had been looking down at his phone from his seat in the middle of the front row, spoke out.
