Forced to marry a disabled man in the countryside? I'll repay you tenfold!

Ding Xiaomei held the baby, and Xiaoluo held her mother's hand. Even Lin Meihua, Shen Ruolan, Uncle Ding and others looked at this place with curiosity—they had never seen this kind of auction before.

Little Green Ivy even asked, "Fairy Sister, is this really an auction place? Do these food items cost money? Are they also auctioned off?"

Xiao Wang immediately blurted out, "These beautifully presented and exquisite foods must be for sale, right?"

"Nonsense, who eats for free? Something this precious must be super expensive!"

Su Wanqing: "..."

She could only smile and say, "This is a private social ball. Rich people can socialize and eat for free. When the auction starts later, you can take whatever you want to eat."

Little Green Ivy's eyes lit up; she hadn't expected the auction venue to be so nice!

The others also started breathing heavily. Someone whispered, "Really, we can eat as much as we want? It's free? The stuff here looks expensive... Look, what are those things that look like meat sandwiched in buns?"

"Their dance is weird too, and why are they putting food on both sides? Hmm... that grilled meat looks delicious! How are we going to eat it? With our hands?"

It's no wonder the people here in China are curious. That huge piece of meat, rotating and roasting, is just sitting there... it smells so good it's practically dripping with oil, but nobody's going to take it. They have no idea how to eat it later.

Everyone looked at the dazzling array of food on both sides of the ballroom—roast beef, lobster, oysters, caviar, cheese platters, ham, roast turkey, all kinds of cakes and desserts, ice cream, chocolate fountain, fruit tarts, champagne, red wine, cocktails…there were about fifty or sixty kinds, each one exquisite beyond belief.

People from the 70s and 80s had never seen such a grand scene!

The commander coughed and led a group of country bumpkins who looked like Liu Grandma visiting the Grand View Garden, somewhat reserved.

To be honest, he'd never seen anything like this before!

But since he's in charge, he can't appear too unsophisticated.

"Alright, stop looking so curious. Stand up straight and show some spirit, don't let anyone look down on us. Whatever Mr. Arendt does, we do; whatever he eats, we eat. If you don't know how to eat it, don't touch it! Don't act like you've never seen anything like this before and make a fool of yourself!"

Su Wanqing rubbed her forehead. What's going on? Why do Chinese people live in such a strange cycle of being "laughed at"? So what if they're laughed at?

"Yes!" A group of people suddenly stood up straight and responded in a low voice, remaining motionless like statues, which caused many people in the opposite ball to whisper among themselves.

The commander coughed again: "Don't stand so stiffly, relax, be natural! Quick, Mr. Arendt has picked up a glass of wine, let's get one too!"

"yes!"

So everyone in the delegation, imitating little Arendt, immediately picked up a glass of wine, and the way they did it... was hilarious.

Xiao Wang smacked his lips, looking at all the delicious food, and couldn't help but mutter, "With so much good food, why is Little Arendt bringing out the wine? It's not good at all! It's not as strong as our baijiu, and it's not as sweet as rice wine."

"Where did all these people come from? And why are there so many of them?" In a corner of the ballroom, several guests were whispering among themselves, holding wine glasses.

"Shh, don't talk nonsense. That's Mr. Arend. No, he should be called the new head of the Arend family now."

"That Satan? The one who slaughtered over a hundred people in one night, hanged his own siblings under the dome, and even killed his own father? Oh my god, we absolutely mustn't mess with such a scourge!"

For a moment, the guests at the ball looked at little Arendt with a mixture of awe, fear, and curiosity, and whispers rose and fell among them.

Su Wanqing lightly licked her lips, feeling no embarrassment whatsoever. She even found the foreigners who stopped dancing and cast surprised glances at her somewhat amusing.

Although the Chinese side appeared somewhat reserved and stiff due to their unfamiliarity with such a scene, it did not diminish their excitement in the slightest.

She immediately activated today's surveillance system, checking everything within a 500-meter radius, then scanning with radar, even checking the food and drinks to prevent poisoning.

Approximately 300 armed personnel were detected, all bodyguards from various families, equipped with light weapons, but no heavy weapons. No one in the core area of ​​the ball was carrying weapons. All food and drinks tested negative for poison. Overall security: High.

Seeing this, Su Wanqing nodded with a smile.

Very good. It seems that all these people are here to do business properly, and there's no poisoning involved. We can now enjoy this auction.

Seeing everyone holding their glasses of wine listlessly, she couldn't help but chuckle. She then grabbed some snacks and handed them to Green Ivy, Ding Xiaomei, and Wang Ling: "You guys eat something first. I've checked, the food here is safe."

Her words put the commander at ease. After all, Su Wanqing had said there was no poison, so they could eat them without worry.

Little Arend also greeted the inspection team and Su Wanqing:

"Oh, dear Sue, Commander, please eat and drink as you please. The auction will begin soon, so please enjoy our local delicacies."

After saying that, he held up his wine glass and, pushed in his wheelchair by Elena, walked toward several family leaders on the other side of the ball.

"Oh, old John, you don't mind that I brought so many people, do you? Actually, they are all my best friends. I owe them a lot for this trip; they are my most honored guests from China. Especially this lady, the esteemed Ms. Su Wanqing, is the most miraculous doctor in China; she cured my father," Little Arendt said, raising his glass.

Jason, the owner of the private ball and auction, rushed forward, his enthusiasm tinged with a hint of caution: "Of course, your presence is a tremendous honor. Welcome, welcome!"

He then turned to look at the reserved Chinese delegation. Previously, he would have looked down on these bumpkins, but now, considering the recent upheaval in the Arend family and the current power of young Arend, he gave a very friendly smile.

"Please, distinguished guests from China, and this esteemed Ms. Su, enjoy the delicious food here."

Su Wanqing and the others nodded.

Green Ivy whispered from the side, "Can we really eat whatever we want? We can eat whatever we want?"

Wang Ling hugged Green Ivy tightly: "That's just polite talk, don't you understand?"

Su Wanqing smiled and patted Green Ivy's head: "Eat up, eat as much as you want today. Don't worry, Mr. Arendt is very generous today."
