She's come clean; the fake heiress has a ton of aliases.

Chapter 409 The Auction Officially Begins

Nan Yu understood, took the mask, and put it on her face.

Xu Qi wore a black mask with a puppy pattern, while Qi Ming wore a white mask with a kitten pattern.

Once they put them on, you wouldn't recognize them at all unless you knew beforehand.

Xu Qi walked ahead, and the waiter guided them down the hotel stairs.

At the very bottom of the hotel, there is a funnel-like design.

Above are a series of transparent private rooms, from which you can clearly see everything inside.

At this time, all the other private rooms were full of people.

At the very bottom is a small platform, which will be the auction stage later.

Nan Yu sat in the private box, with a clear view of the auction stage.

The auction was also equipped with high-tech equipment; while the items were being displayed below, they were simultaneously displayed on screens in the private boxes.

If someone wants to bid, they can simply press the button, and the auction will be displayed on the transparent glass.

Xu Qi sat down next to Nan Yu and poured her a cup of fine tea.

"Young Madam, we offer all kinds of food here. You can order anything you'd like to eat."

Nan Yu took a sip of the tea; it was full and rich in aroma, smooth in taste, and had a unique sweetness.

"Is this tea from ancient trees that are over 500 years old?"

Xu Qi nodded in delight, "Young Madam, very few people can taste the difference in this tea. You are the first person to be able to tell the difference in just one sip!"

Nan Yu smiled faintly, but a hint of loneliness flashed in her eyes. "I tried it once by chance before."

That time, when she was learning medicine from a master, her master happily took it out of the cabinet and said that since she was willing to become his apprentice, he couldn't just give her a casual answer and had to use the best tea.

That cup of tea was brewed with this kind of ancient tree tea.

After she became an apprentice, her master specially brewed her a cup of tea, saying it was his favorite. The taste of this cup now is just like the one her master brewed for her back then.

The difference is that this cup is neither as sweet nor as bitter as the other.

Seeing that Nan Yu had finished her drink, Xu Qi poured her another cup.

"Young Madam, why not try the food from the auction? It was prepared by a master chef specially hired from abroad, and the dishes are excellent."

Nan Yu became curious and looked at the menu. The dishes on it were so numerous that it made her dizzy.

"Uncle Xu, this is my first time here, you choose."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qi immediately said, "Young Madam, since this is your first time here, why not try everything?"

He turned and handed the menu to the waiter standing behind him, "Bring one of everything."

Seeing this, Nan Yu quickly said, "Uncle Xu, I can't finish it, this is too wasteful."

Xu Qi gave her a reassuring smile, "It's okay, we can pack up the leftovers and take them home to eat slowly."

Qi Ming, who was sitting behind them, put down his camera and said to Nan Yu, "Young Madam, don't worry, the portions here are small, you can finish them."

Nan Yu couldn't argue with the two of them, so she could only hope that the dishes were indeed small in portion size, just as Qi Ming had said.

"Young Madam, the auction is about to begin. Please take a look and see if there's anything you like."

Xu Qi spoke up to remind him.

Nan Yu looked down and saw a beautiful woman wearing a golden cheongsam walking gracefully onto the stage.

She spoke into the microphone on the auction stage.

"Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to our annual grand auction."

"This auction features a total of thirty rare items and will last approximately three hours. I wish everyone the best of luck in finding the items they desire tonight, and I hope you all have a wonderful time!"

"The auction is now officially open!"
