Chapter 120 – Face-Slapping + PDA (Part One)

The auction continued. Jiang Rou had been completely bankrupted by Ye Yunxi. After all, she was still a student with limited cash on hand, and she didn’t dare to continue bidding against Ye Yunxi afterward.

But her gaze was sharp enough to stab Ye Yunxi to death hundreds of times over.

Yet, Ye Yunxi remained unfazed.

After all, she wasn’t the fool who spent 3.5 million on a second-hand car!

It wasn’t until the office building was brought up for auction that Ye Yunxi perked up.

An office building in Linhai, on the top floor, with convenient transportation and a great view—it would be perfect for her father.

Moreover, even for a family, relying solely on state support wasn’t sustainable. The Families of Empire’s Sword all engaged in business. Strength and Money were essential for every family.

However, it was clear that this office building had caught the attention of many. With such a prime location and such a large area, its market value wouldn’t be low.

Sure enough, the Zhuchiren announced, “Top-floor office building in the Linhai Business District, 800 square meters fully furnished, market value 12 million, starting bid 2 million!”

The starting bid was only 2 million!

Ye Yunxi curled her lips into a smile—it was simply too cheap!

“2.3 million!”

“2.6 million!”

“3 million!”

“3.1 million!”

…

It seemed everyone wanted this commercial property. After all, real estate was an investment that could appreciate, especially an office building in the Linhai Business District!

Ye Yunxi raised her paddle: “4 million!”

The crowd glanced back, but Di Junxie remained unmoved. Then, the bidding continued.

But before anyone else could speak, Xie Lian’er had already raised her paddle: “5 million!”

“5.1 million!”

“5.2 million!”

The remaining bidders raised their paddles one after another. Ye Yunxi glanced over at Xie Lian’er, who didn’t look back at her, but the fury swirling in her eyes made Ye Yunxi subconsciously curl her lips.

Four million was already her limit, but she wouldn’t stop there.

“6 million!”

Ye Yunxi calmly followed.

“7 million!”

Xie Lian’er continued.

“8 million!”

Ye Yunxi’s smile widened.

“9 million!”

By now, everyone could sense something fishy.

Just after Jiang Rou was taken down, here came Xie Lian’er, both targeting the Young Emperor’s little lover.

They hadn’t come to the auction in vain today. Even if they couldn’t snag any good gifts, watching a free drama was worth it!

The crowd watched with satisfaction as these two women went at each other.

But unlike the gossip-loving crowd, the Zhuchiren was thrilled to see this situation!

Earlier, because of this, the 2.88 million car had skyrocketed to 3.5 million!

Now, with this commercial property valued at 12 million, if the bidding continued like this, wouldn’t it be driven up to 20 million?

Then his bonus would be astronomical!

The Zhuchiren looked at Ye Yunxi with excitement and anticipation, waiting for her to bid again. Unfortunately, before the young woman could even open her mouth, the Young Emperor took the paddle and raised it, uttering his first words to anyone other than Ye Yunxi since he arrived: “9.1 million.”

Though his voice wasn’t loud, everyone fell silent. Even Xie Lian’er bit her lip tightly, staring at the Young Emperor in disbelief.

Who was the most powerful family here?

And who was the most powerful family in Yan Country?

If you tried to compete with the Empire’s number one family for an auction item, even if you bankrupted yourself, you still wouldn’t win against them!

Given that, only a fool would try to outbid the Young Emperor!

If you angered him, you’d be in deep trouble!It would be better to take a step back and give some face—everyone benefits when things go smoothly!

Having decided not to bid any higher, the group of seasoned schemers watched as Xie Lian’er could only bite her lip, her face full of grievance.

Why?!

Why did the Young Emperor personally raise the bidding paddle?!

If it weren’t for the Young Emperor, she would have fought that vixen to the bitter end!!
