Chapter 117 – The Fool Is You (Part Two)

But it didn’t matter. Being good at racing cars was useless anyway—what mattered most was having excellent combat skills.

Ming Siye made a gesture of invitation, letting Xie Lian’er go first while he followed half a step behind.

Xie Lian’er smiled with satisfaction.

This young master of the Ming Residence was quite perceptive.

Taking the auction list handed by the attendant, Ye Yunxi set her sights on an office building.

Located on the top floor of the downtown business district, the position was excellent—perfect for her studio staff. Since her father wanted to become a director, this could also serve as a starting point for him.

But given the location and price, even at an auction, it probably wouldn’t sell for less than five million.

Her available funds were limited, and unless absolutely necessary, she’d rather take out a loan than spend her money.

Movie publicity and promotions—where didn’t that require money?

Plus daily expenses—even the cheapest boxed meals cost at least ten yuan each.

“If you’re short on money, I can lend you some.”

Di Junxie seemed to have noticed her hesitation.

Ye Yunxi shook her head. “I’ll keep looking.”

Unless absolutely necessary, she really didn’t want to owe this man anything. She always felt he was like a big-tailed wolf, just waiting to set a trap for her behind her back!

Too dangerous.

Seeing this, Di Junxie said nothing, remaining unusually quiet—so quiet that Ye Yunxi instinctively glanced at him.

The man remained silent, his dark eyes pure and transparent like glass. Yet Ye Yunxi couldn’t shake the illusion that he was lying in wait, ready to pounce on his prey!

Forget it. Maybe she should try the Peach Blossom Value Pack??

Just then, the auction began.

Like any ordinary auction, there was nothing special about it. Since the items being auctioned weren’t particularly valuable, not many people had come. The seats were sparsely filled, with only a small portion occupied. However, Ye Yunxi soon sensed several unfriendly gazes.

Turning around, she spotted a few shadowy figures in the darkness, sneakily averting their eyes.

Were they targeting her??

Heh, interesting.

She scanned the auction venue. A man in a sharp suit was enthusiastically presenting: “Imported Maybach S680, one year old, no damage, market price 2,888,800 yuan. Starting bid: 200,000 yuan!”

A few people in the audience sporadically raised their paddles and called out bids.

But clearly, most weren’t very interested.

The cars these people drove cost at least several million yuan—a second-hand vehicle like this really wasn’t worth their attention.

The host grew anxious. At this rate, it wouldn’t sell for a good price!

Once again feeling those malicious stares, Ye Yunxi curled her lips and raised her paddle. “270,000 yuan!”

Sure enough, someone from that side followed suit. A girl’s voice called out, “300,000 yuan!”

After speaking, the girl even shot a smug, unfriendly glance in her direction.

Now it was completely confirmed—they were indeed targeting her.

Ye Yunxi smiled, suddenly feeling invigorated.

So she raised her paddle again. “310,000 yuan!”

As expected, the girl continued, “340,000 yuan!”

Trying to outbid her every time?

Ye Yunxi raised an eyebrow. In the distance, Jiang Rou sneered as she looked over, feeling utterly pleased inside.

You little wretch, daring to come to an auction with the Young Emperor’s money?

I’ll make sure you can’t win anything tonight!

Ming Siye also instinctively glanced over. Seeing Ye Yunxi, he froze slightly, feeling as though he’d seen this girl somewhere before—she looked somewhat familiar.

But he couldn’t recall where.

“350,000 yuan!”

The bidding continued. Ye Yunxi curled her lips.Di Junxie glanced at her and, seeing the unusual excitement in her eyes, knew that the girl who had been bidding along would be in for a fall today!

But that didn’t stop him from wrapping an arm around Ye Yunxi’s shoulders to enjoy the show.

“Don’t make her cry.”

Di Junxie whispered close to her ear.
