Qiao Manman just wanted to use the cards in her hand to smash Jiang Tingyan!

This damn guy just won't let him go?!

She didn't intend to use Qiao Qinian's money to buy this decanter; to show sincerity, she had to pay for it herself.

But she only had about 2.3 million in pocket money, while the auctioned item was worth 2 million. Buyer commissions and other fees added up to more than 2 million.

If Jiang Tingyan keeps raising the price like this, how can she compete with him?

Qiao Manman turned her head and gave Jiang Tingyan a meaningful look.

There were complaints, confusion, and anger.

If Jiang Tingyan wants to buy this decanter set for a reason, then she respects that and can choose to back down.

But if someone deliberately messes with her because of what happened last night, she will be really angry!

Jiang Tingyan glanced at Qiao Manman, his dark pupils calm and composed, his handsome face even more so.

It seemed as if everything was under his control, and he didn't even consider Qiao Manman a rival.

It's like when a cat encounters a mouse, it doesn't try to catch it but instead teases it.

The feeling of humiliation was like an invisible hand striking Qiao Manman's cheek.

Qiao Manman gritted her teeth, turned around, stared at the racket in her hand for a few seconds, and then braced herself to raise the sign in a final struggle.

"Two million!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all eyes in the room fell on Qiao Manman again.

She held her breath, waiting for Jiang Tingyan behind her to raise the price again.

The auctioneer grabbed the gavel and shouted.

"Two million per time!"

"Two million twice!"

Qiao Manman's heart was pounding.

"Two million three times!"

The moment the auction gavel fell, Qiao Manman's heart finally settled, but a pang of regret followed.

That's two million!

Qiao Manman wanted to roar to the sky, because before she transmigrated into the book, she only had 50,000 yuan in savings.

Two million is an enormous fortune, more than she could ever accumulate in her entire life!

Now that I've spent it all out of spite, how can I not feel the pinch?

With a final gavel, the auctioneer congratulated Qiao Manman on winning the item and instructed a waiter to present it to her for confirmation.

At this point, the decanter was no longer a decanter; no matter how beautiful it looked in Qiao Manman's eyes, it was still real gold and silver.

After Qiao Manman made her decision, another waiter came over and handed her the transaction confirmation.

Qiao Manman signed the document and turned to Qiao Qinian to claim credit.

"Dad, I bought you this decanter with my own savings. Please accept it."

Qiao Qinian naturally wouldn't try to win over Qiao Manman's filial piety.

He smiled contentedly and said, "The thing Dad regrets least is having a baby. Thank you, my darling."

As he spoke, Qiao Qinian leaned close to Qiao Manman's ear and whispered a reminder.

"If there's anything you want to buy next, just tell Daddy, and Daddy will buy it for you even if it means burning a sky lantern!"

Qiao Manman has no desires or wants anymore.

She didn't really want any of these things.

Perhaps she is still poor at heart and feels that there is no need to buy these things as decorations that will just collect dust all the time.

So she really wanted to ask Qiao Qinian a question.

Could you please convert the items she chooses into cash and deposit it into her account?

But she couldn't say those words. She could only bitterly say to Qiao Qinian, "Thank you, Dad. I'm going to the restroom."

"Go."

Qiao Manman stood up, and Jiang Shu, who was sitting to Qiao Qinian's left, looked up and met her gaze.

Her eyes held a bright smile, as if she were laughing at how Qiao Manman had been tricked by her son.

Qiao Manman and the other woman exchanged a lifeless glance, then she turned and walked toward the door.

Seeing Qiao Manman's listless appearance, Jiang Shu felt a surge of satisfaction.

But for some reason, after the initial excitement, I felt that Qiao Manman's condition was somewhat worrying.

Did she and her son bully her too badly?

But she never expected that Jiang Tingyan would relentlessly pursue her like this...

Jiang Shu felt a pang of pity when she thought that Qiao Manman was just a freshman in college.

But when she thought about Qiao Manman's behavior in the book, she wished she could kill Qiao Manman on the spot!

But then again.

Why does it feel like the plot has changed?

Jiang Tingyan's appearance at the auction was a huge change; this part of the story wasn't in the book!

Jiang Shu's words were utterly incomprehensible.

What exactly went wrong?

Jiang Tingyan stared at Jiang Shu for a moment, then got up and walked towards the door.

As he approached the restroom door, he heard a sobbing sound coming from inside the women's restroom.

Immediately following was the sound of Qiao Manman pounding her chest and stamping her feet.

"I'm so sad... Even though it's not my money, I'm still so sad..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tingyan frowned slightly, but quickly understood and relaxed his brow.

The pocket money that Qiao Qinian gave her was earned by Qiao Qinian, and it was indeed not Qiao Manman's own.

He withdrew his gaze from the entrance of the women's restroom and was about to continue towards the men's restroom when Qiao Manman's voice came again.

"Damn it! If I had this money on me, I could eat and drink like crazy! I could even have male models lining up in front of me!!"

Her furious outburst through gritted teeth caused Jiang Tingyan's face to darken rapidly.

So she mistook him for a male model last night too?!

Use it and then throw it away, is that what you mean?

Qiao Manman was obviously unaware that Jiang Tingyan was eavesdropping outside.

She looked at her phone and saw that 60 yuan had been deducted from her account, and couldn't help but rub her chest.

But looking at it from another perspective, I've also achieved my goal.

It simply means that the achievement far exceeded my expectations.

Judging from Qiao Qinian's demeanor just now, he was clearly genuinely happy.

If we serve the Emperor well, will we still have to worry about not having more money in the future?

Qiao Manman looked at herself in the mirror, who had been made to look like an embryo with pouty lips.

She'll wait for the right opportunity to go to Chairman Qiao and demand a hefty sum of money!

Feeling cheerful, Qiao Manman hummed a little tune while holding her phone and floated out of the bathroom.

Just as I stepped out of the women's restroom, a tall figure dressed entirely in black appeared before me.

Qiao Manman shuddered in fright, staring in terror at the elusive Jiang Tingyan.

"You...how did you get out here?!"

Jiang Tingyan glanced disdainfully at Qiao Manman: "It seems Miss Qiao's displeasure just now was all an act?"

Hearing this, Qiao Manman got angry!

But before she lost her temper, she needed to confirm whether Jiang Tingyan was doing it on purpose or genuinely wanted the item.

Qiao Manman suppressed her temper and patiently asked, "Jiang Tingyan, are you going to buy the decanter as a gift?"

"No."

Jiang Tingyan responded in a deep, drawn-out voice.

Qiao Manman's fingers, which were hanging by her side, twitched, and she forced a smile onto her face.

"So, Young Master Jiang Tingyan is deliberately targeting me, is that right?"

Jiang Tingyan stared at her intently for a long while before casually uttering three words.
