Chapter 42

Luo Wan raised an eyebrow discreetly and turned her head, indeed seeing Su Yunwei’s smug expression.

What are you looking at? I’m going to snatch your stuff.

Luo Wan wasn’t in a hurry to raise her paddle again.

“Alright, this young lady bids two million.”

“This young lady bids two point five million.”

…

The host was getting more and more excited as he shouted. The commission today would be quite a sum.

The people present watched the two women fighting over a toilet, and they were dumbfounded.

Luo Wan had seen people who couldn’t maintain their dignity, but how come even Miss Su from the Su family was like this today?

Su Yunwei had already made up her mind to outbid Luo Wan.

As long as she bid, she would follow, completely unaware of the gazes around her.

Sheng Qing leaned slightly and asked puzzledly, “You really like this toilet. The toilets in our Xiyuan are much more expensive than this.”

“But since my wife likes it, it’s not impossible to buy it. Worst case, we’ll buy another house and put it in there.”

Adhering to the principle of pampering his wife, Sheng Da Tou was about to raise his paddle again.

This time, Luo Wan quickly pressed it down, giving him a glare and admonishing, “Stop messing around.”

His broad palm held a delicate little hand.

With a smile on his face, Sheng Qing obediently refrained from raising his paddle.

“This young lady bids ten million.”

At this point, Su Yunwei hesitated a bit, thinking maybe she should back down.

But someone wasn’t to her liking.

Seeing no movement behind her, Luo Wan directly turned around and provocatively pouted.

A few seconds later, Su Yunwei bid again.

“This young lady bids fifteen million.”

There was an uproar among the crowd.

Was Su Yunwei out of her mind today?

Su Yunwei arrogantly waited for Luo Wan to continue bidding. When Luo Wan didn’t, she planned to abstain, letting her spend a high price to buy this toilet.

“One point five million once.”

“One point five million twice.”

The host started the countdown, but Luo Wan remained silent.

Su Yunwei became anxious.

Finally, Luo Wan in front of her moved slightly. She turned around and said two words to her.

“Congratulations.”

At this moment, the host also announced.

“Alright, fifteen million. Congratulations to this young lady.”

Su Yunwei was so angry she almost stood up and cursed.

Spending fifteen million on a toilet at an auction was just…

It might have been used by someone else before.

Who knows how many people will laugh at her behind her back.

“Why didn’t you keep bidding?” she gritted her teeth at Luo Wan.

At her words, Luo Wan smiled calmly.

“I did like it very much, but when I saw Miss Su liked it even more than me, I decided to give it to you.”

Truly lifting a stone to hit one’s own foot.

People around were silently laughing to themselves.

This Miss Su, despite her noble birth, was actually outsmarted by someone who seemed insignificant.

In this auction, once an item was won, the staff quickly brought it to the bidder’s side.

At this moment, two staff members brought the toilet over and placed it next to Su Yunwei.

The surrounding laughter grew even louder.

Su Yunwei’s face turned black.

She was grinding her teeth so hard they were about to shatter.

Luo Wan turned back and playfully blinked at Sheng Qing.

Sheng Qing, with indulgence, gently flicked the tip of the girl’s small nose with his index finger.

“You naughty.”

Next were nine items.

They were quickly taken by others.

The tenth item was the Crystal Snow Grass that Luo Wan fancied.

“Starting bid, ten million.”

For herbs like this, unless someone needed them, no one would bid.

To hide her true intentions, Luo Wan intentionally waited a moment before placing her bid.

“Alright, this young lady bids ten million.”

As the host’s voice rang out, Luo Wan intentionally glanced in Su Yunwei’s direction.

That glance made Su Yunwei hesitate just as she was about to raise her paddle.

Could this be another trap set by this woman?

Seeing the smug look on the other’s face, Su Yunwei directly put down her paddle and then looked back triumphantly.

Hmph.

Trying to trap me again.

This time I won’t fall for it, and I’ll make you the fool.

It wasn’t until no one else bid and the host announced that the Crystal Snow Grass belonged to her that Luo Wan finally relaxed.

She was really afraid that Su Yunwei would engage in a bidding war with her.

Fortunately, she had discovered the other’s intentions during the previous rounds and let her suffer once.

When the Crystal Snow Grass came up, she deliberately acted indifferent to give the other a false impression.

That’s how she managed to easily win the bid for the herb.

Su Yunwei was still smug that she didn’t fall for it this time, letting Luo Wan spend ten million on a worthless herb.

But when

When she saw Luo Wan holding the Crystal Snow Grass like a treasure, she realized she had been fooled again.

Someone behind her whispered, “Miss Luo really knows her stuff. This kind of herb can detoxify a hundred poisons, and it can also delay the onset of many difficult diseases if taken. If it weren’t for my limited budget today, I would have bid on it no matter what.”

When Su Yunwei heard about the remarkable effects of this inconspicuous little herb, her face turned green.

She thought she had spent ten million on a toilet while Luo Wan had spent the same amount on a mere herb. She felt superior to her in every way.

Now she realized that what Luo Wan bid on was truly valuable, while her toilet was completely inferior.

“They say Miss Su is well-versed in many things, but it doesn’t seem so now.”

“Just now, she fought so hard for a toilet, but now that a real treasure is in front of her, she’s indifferent.”

“It’s like a beautiful exterior with a rotten core, all she has is the reputation of being a noble young lady.”

Su Yunwei had never felt so embarrassed in her twenty years of life.

She wished she could just get up and leave.

But she was sitting near the front, surrounded by people on both sides. Leaving now would attract too much attention.

Su Yunwei could only hold back her anger, glaring daggers at the back of Luo Wan’s head.

Luo Wan wasn’t interested in the remaining items and sat in her seat, engrossed in the medical manuscript she had just acquired.

There were so many lost medical techniques in it that Luo Wan was completely fascinated.

As time ticked away, the host on stage enthusiastically auctioned off the remaining items.

Until the last item made its grand appearance.

There was a brief silence in the venue.

Luo Wan lifted her head from the book, puzzled, and looked towards the stage.

Her gaze was immediately captivated.

It was a unique, ten-carat diamond ring.

“This is our final item today, the Star of the Ocean. This item holds special significance.”

“It has been passed down since the last century, originally used as a wedding ring by its first owner. The couple spent their entire lives together in love. Every subsequent owner has grown old with their loved one by their side.”

“Its current owner is an old lady who, after her husband passed away recently, decided to donate the ring to charity. She hopes that whoever receives the ring will also receive its blessings and spend a lifetime in love with their significant other.”

The significance of this ring was extraordinary, and all the young unmarried or married people in the audience were eager.

“This item will start at one hundred million, with increments of ten million.”
