I stormed down the mountain, took down all the big shots in the city, and the female CEO dragged me

"He's attending an auction? Are you kidding me?"

Xu Wenya looked down at the sky with disdain: "Those two siblings can barely afford to eat, and they still have money to attend an auction?"

"I think he's mostly here to freeload."

She swept her gaze across the room with disdain: "Where's your sister who's causing you trouble? Why aren't you calling her out?"

"You didn't brush your teeth this morning? Your breath smells terrible!"

Before Xu Yuan could speak, Jin Jingshuo stared straight at Xu Wenya: "No matter what, you two are cousins, right?"

"Who says they're cousins? We're not related by blood at all."

Being his cousin would be a disaster; I'm afraid he'd curse me to death.

"My surname is now Xiao, and my name is Xiao Wenya, not Xu." Xu Wenya didn't care about the gazes of the people around her, eager to prove to them that she had no relation to the Xu family.

"You woman, you have a really sharp tongue." Kim Kyung-seok raised his hand to slap him, but noticing that people around him were watching, he suppressed his impulse.

"It's only because there are so many people here that I could slap you to death in private."

Xu Wenya sensed the murderous intent in his eyes and took two steps back, leaning against Zhang Yunxi.

Kim Kyung-seok is no joke; his history of killing people is well-known in the industry.

"Young Master Jin, please don't take it personally. Give me some face." Zhang Yunxi smiled and winked at Jin Jingshuo.

She attended the banquet mainly to find a man with a good family background like Kim Kyung-seok.

Zhang Yunxi's family is somewhat wealthy, but in the eyes of someone like Jin Jingshuo, they are still considered low-class and could be killed with a flick of a finger.

"What are you talking about? It's so lively!"

Zhang Ruonan walked gracefully in a light blue dress, her necklace sparkling. She reached Xu Yuan and immediately took his arm, as if afraid someone would snatch her away.

When Kim Kyung-seok saw this, his eyes widened and his mouth opened as he stared at the spot where Zhang Ruonan was holding Xu Yuan's wrist.

What's going on?

Isn't he dating Du Aili?

Why are you so intimate with Zhang Ruonan?

Suddenly realizing that Zhang Ruonan had woken up because of a wish, he instantly understood.

He and Xu Yuan exchanged a glance. "You're something else, kid. You've run into all sorts of good things."

Xu Wenya and Zhang Yunxi looked at the beautiful woman walking towards them, then at their own attire, and felt extremely ashamed.

When they saw Zhang Ruonan naturally take Xu Yuan's arm, they were struck dumb.

Is it right for a beautiful woman, whom even other women would feel inferior to, to actively seek out Xu Yuan?

Xu Wenya found it the most unacceptable. When she first met Xu Yuan, Xu Yinsheng even said he wanted to give himself to Xu Yuan, but she thought he was old-fashioned and refused on the spot.

He clearly remembered that Xu Yuan had complained that she was dirty, and because of this, she had always held a grudge against Xu Yuan.

Why does a bastard child deserve so much love?

Zhang Yunxi watched silently without saying a word. She dared not provoke Xu Yuan easily; if she caused trouble, her father would surely kill her when she got back.

"Miss Ruonan, you are even more beautiful than before."

Kim Kyung-seok greeted Zhang Ruonan with a smile, displaying impeccable politeness.

He could hit or scold any other woman he wanted, but he wouldn't dare do that to Zhang Ruonan.

Both have influence in Beijing, but Zhang's family is rooted in Beijing, while his family only has connections in Beijing.

Zhang Ruonan politely replied, "Thank you."

Kim Kyung-seok, being very perceptive, didn't want to disturb Xu Yuan. He gave him a look and turned to leave.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the auction banquet of the Song family."

On the podium, Song Wenxuan, dressed in a white suit, stood in front of the microphone with an air of importance. The voices of everyone in the banquet hall quieted down, and they all looked at the podium.

"I know that everyone came here because of Master Songyang."

The Taoist priest is still on his way back from out of town and will arrive later.

"However, don't worry, all the items we're auctioning are here."

"The license plates have been handed out; everyone, get ready to begin."

Zhang Ruonan pulled Xu Yuan to sit down on a stool next to her, and Xu Yuan continued eating.

"Tell me, did he swallow the horse manure that was sprayed in his mouth? What did it taste like?"

"Would you like to try some?" Xu Yuan asked in return.

"No way, I'm just curious." Zhang Ruonan couldn't help but chuckle.

"If I had known, I should have recorded a video of him; it would have been hilarious."

As they were talking, the number plate was handed to Zhang Ruonan. Zhang Ruonan pulled Xu Yuan and said, "Brother Yuan, which one do you like? I'll take a picture of it and give it to you."

"Looking at pictures is useless; let's see the actual product first."

Xu Yuan swallowed the food in her mouth and wiped her mouth. If it weren't for Xu Wenya and the others, she would have been full long ago.

His primary target for photographing is definitely the bronze tripod, provided it's genuine. If it's fake, he wouldn't even accept it if it were given to him for free.

Did you hear what she said?

Xu Wenya and Zhang Yunxi sat across the table and whispered, "The woman wants to take pictures of something to give to Xu Yuan."

"I knew it! So that's why he's here. Turns out he's being kept by someone."

Zhang Yunxi nodded in agreement. Not to mention Miss Zhang, she herself wanted to take Xu Yuan as her sugar daddy. He was really handsome, good at fighting, and must be good at other things too.

Song Wenxuan stepped down from the stage, and a female auctioneer in a suit swayed her hips onto the stage, with waiters holding auction items standing on either side.

"here we go."

Those attending the banquet were filled with anticipation.

Most of them came for the lucky jade pendant, which was personally refined by Master Songyang. Having it would ensure that everything went smoothly for them.

Song Wenxuan walked to the table next to Xu Yuan and sat down. He could talk to Zhang Ruonan face to face with just a turn of his head. He kept smiling and looked at Zhang Ruonan.

"If Miss Ruan doesn't find anything she likes, I'll take a picture and give it to you."

"No need, I can film it myself." Zhang Ruonan is not short of money.

"I think there are a few nice ones, could you take pictures of them and send them to me?"

Xu Yuan, without any hesitation, looked expectantly at Song Wenxuan: "Young Master Song doesn't care about this little bit, right?"

Song Wenxuan was speechless for a moment. He glanced at Xu Yuan and said, "You're really shameless."

"If you were a woman, I might consider it."

"If I were a woman, I wouldn't consider you." Xu Yuan looked disgusted. "Your kisses smell like horse manure, it's disgusting."

"you…"

Song Wenxuan was so angry he was practically fuming, and turned away, ignoring him completely.

Zhang Ruonan covered her mouth and chuckled, "You're so naughty."

"Is he the young master of the Song family? He's my type." Xu Wenya stared at Song Wenxuan with anticipation.

"Yunxi, let's go get their contact information later."

"The first item up for auction today is a bronze tripod," the female auctioneer announced on the stage, and everyone turned to look at the bronze tripod on the tray.

As he focused his attention and examined the scene closely, his gaze gradually turned serious.

Ancient bronze cauldron for gathering elixirs.

"Starting bid: 500,000. Minimum increment: 100,000. Let's begin."

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, no one was the first to speak.

Xu Yuan glanced at it and said, "Since no one recognizes its value, I'll take advantage of it."

"Six hundred thousand."

"Which gentleman has offered 600,000? Is there anyone offering higher?"

Everyone turned to look at Xu Yuan, following the sound.

Song Wenxuan smiled faintly: "It's just a fake, yet he actually believed it."

Song Wenxuan's assistant walked over quickly and whispered a few words in Song Wenxuan's ear.

"Master Songyang said to help him get this bronze cauldron."
