"I bid 550,000!"

"600,000!"

"750,000!"

"....."

Soon, the price of the painting soared past a million.

But for some of those present, this sum was merely the price of a small toy.

Just as the time seemed right, Jiang Li leisurely raised her bidding paddle.

"Five million."

Jin Siyue: ? ? ?

"You fucking crazy? Where is this trash painting worth five million?"

Jiang Li smirked slightly, "Indeed, it’s not. But does Young Master Jin lack even five million?"

"Ha, what a joke!" Jin Siyue’s face full of disdain. "How could this young master not have five million!"

As he said this, he gave a signal to his assistant with his eyes, "Take it."

"Understood, young master."

[Damn, Sister Li is this tough? Really daring to ask for it?]

[Will Jiang Li really not end up with Jin Siyue settling the score with her...]

Even Su Yinwan beside them frowned slightly.

What exactly was she trying to do?

But on second thought, her mood recovered.

After all, the more attention Jiang Li drew, the bigger the trouble she would invite.

If she really offended the Jin Family, she’d be in for a world of hurt!

She decided to just silently watch.

In the following auctions, Jiang Li secured nearly every item at multiple times their price.

Jin Siyue’s face grew darker as the bidding continued, but all he could do was grit his teeth and sign off on the bill.

The assistant reminded him somewhat awkwardly, "Young master, the check from Madam is only for 150 million, and we haven’t even seen that item yet..."

"I know!" Jin Siyue shoved him away in irritation.

He refused to believe that Jiang Li wouldn’t leave him even a penny!

The first half of the auction was drawing to a close, and Shang Shaojing had been witnessing the whole farce.

Technically, Jin Siyue could be considered his half uncle, but the relations between their families weren’t close, and they only interacted during holidays. He and Jin Siyue didn’t get along either.

It was pretty good for him that Jiang Li was causing such a scene; in a way, she was doing him a favor.

Thinking this, Shang Shaojing cheerfully approached Su Yinwan.

"See anything you like? I’ll get it for you."

Su Yinwan was somewhat surprised, "Really?"

"Of course."

With his promise, her gaze settled on the next auction item.

It was a jade bracelet of excellent quality, its faint purple color dreamlike and ethereal, resembling spring colors in floating clouds.

"I think that bracelet looks pretty..."

Just then, the auctioneer announced the starting bid, "High-quality tri-color jade bracelet, starting at 1.5 million!"

Shang Shaojing immediately raised his bidding paddle, "2 million."

Hearing this number, Su Yinwan’s heart gave a fierce leap.

As expected of the male lead, he was always so generous when spending money on her!

Sitting beside her, Jiang Li leisurely blew on the red wine in front of her, and when the price reached 3 million, she raised her paddle again.

"6 million."

Jin Siyue: ? ? ?

"Fuck, Jiang Li, do you fucking know what’s valuable or not? This damn bracelet worth 6 million?!"

It wasn’t that he had no money; he just thought it utterly idiotic to bid 6 million on a bracelet only worth 2 million!

Jiang Li wore her usual smile, "Not worth it, but I think six million fits Young Master Jin’s status better."

Jin Siyue: "....."

Fine.

Very fine.

Su Yinwan’s expression wasn’t looking too good either.

She had finally taken a fancy to a bracelet, only to have it snatched away by this woman, Jiang Li.

Sure enough, upon hearing Jiang Li’s bid, Shang Shaojing set down his paddle.

He was a businessman, and businessmen value profit the most.

Paying six million for a bracelet only worth two million definitely wasn’t a good deal.

Moreover, this was a great opportunity to make Jin Siyue bleed a little; it was better to leave it to Jiang Li. freёweɓnovel.com

With that, the first half of the auction concluded, and Jiang Li had acquired a total of eight auction items, spending a total of four hundred sixty million yuan.

When the staff member brought the bill to Jin Siyue, his face soured to the extreme.

Yet Jiang Li continued to smile, "What, does Young Master Jin want to go back on his word?"

Jin Siyue signed his name with a cold face.

The staff member could barely contain his excitement, "Thank you, Younger President Jin and Miss Jiang for donating nine million two hundred thousand to the Du Sang Charitable Project."

Jin Siyue felt even more annoyed.

Damn it, that money was enough for him to enjoy a week in the club!

And just like that, it was donated without a clear reason!

[Damn, thanks to Du Sang for showing me the world of the wealthy, where tens of millions are donated just like that.]

[Goodness, is the Jin Family really that wealthy? I’m stunned.]

[Rather than saying the Jin Family is wealthy, it’s better to say the Gu Family is wealthy. Don’t forget that Jin Siyue’s grandfather is Gu Ru Yuan, the richest man.]

Jiang Li opened her phone to find four "Well done" messages from the "Labor Team" group.

...

The first half of the auction ended, and the lights on stage brightened again for the intermission performance.

Du Sang had invited some orchestral performers, and amidst the melodious music, industry tycoons began a new round of negotiations.

Rather than an auction, it was more like a networking event for expanding resources.

Jiang Li wasn’t fond of these, so she took her wine glass and skirt, heading back to her earlier seat.

Wen Jiaojiao and others were deep in conversation, and when they saw her coming, they hastily cleared the middle seat for her.

"Lili, you were so cool! You didn’t see the look on Jin Siyue’s face when he left; it was priceless!" Wen Jiaojiao said excitedly, clapping her hands.

Jiang Yan also snorted coldly, "He brought it upon himself."

It’s what you call, different strokes for different folks.

His sister sat at the top of the food chain, specializing in curing all kinds of flashy and arrogant behaviors.

He himself was a very good example.

"Hey, I heard something," Shu Yan suddenly leaned in and said, "that Younger President Jin came today for the last auction item, but after the bloodletting Jiang Li gave him, he must be fuming by now. Lili, you need to be careful."

Wen Jiaojiao: "What exactly is this last auction item? I heard people talking about it just now; it seems like many came just for that."

Even Jiang Li didn’t have any news about it.

This showed just how precious the item was to Du Sang, as not a bit of information had been released.

It was Qi Tianyu who had been silent until now that finally spoke up.

"That’s not right, I really think something’s off," he said, staring at his phone. "Brother He hasn’t spoken in the group since last week, and I couldn’t get through to him on the phone just now. I hope nothing serious has happened."

The four of them exchanged uncertain glances.

Jiang Li also furrowed her brows.

Just as she hesitated whether to cast a divination for He Yun, the lights on the stage dimmed once more, and the host’s voice came through—

"The second half of the auction will now begin. Please keep quiet, distinguished guests."

With no other choice, Jiang Li was forced to return to her seat.

Unlike the quietness of the first half, everyone seemed excited during the second half, each bid fiercer than the last.

But Jin Siyue, usually lavish in his spending, remained silent.

He even stopped messing around with his cronies and sat quietly on the sofa with his drink, resembling a lion ready to pounce.
