Chapter 21: After breaking off the engagement Mr. Si chased his wife to the crematorium!
Chapter 21: The Auction Begins
As the fire raged on, the entire hospital turned to ashes.
There was a lingering suspicion that someone deliberately set the fire.
Da Bai: "If I find out that the fire back then was intentionally set to make you suffer in the Bai family, I will not let them off lightly!"
After chatting for a while, Ou Yan noticed that it was almost time, and Nan Qiao should be arriving at the agreed-upon location soon. She went downstairs. "Mom, I'm going out for a bit."
"Okay..." Song Qiaoying wanted to ask her daughter where she was going and whom she was meeting, but she didn't want to bother her daughter. She smiled and asked, "Shall I have old Liu drive you?"
"Mom." Li Yusha couldn't help but speak up, "I already told old Liu just now. He's going to take me somewhere later. I made plans with a friend..."
Song Qiaoying furrowed her brow slightly. "Shall I have old Zhang drive you?"
"Uncle Zhang usually takes a nap after lunch. If he wakes up now, he might not be in good spirits, and it wouldn't be safe for him to drive..." Li Yusha said and glanced at Ou Yan with empathy. "Sister, if you have something urgent, I can also call my friend and cancel, and then let old Liu take you."
"No need, I'll drive myself."
But the Rolls-Royce had been damaged by a truck and was still in repairs. Ou Yan thought for a moment and asked, "Do we have any other cars at home?"
Song Qiaoying was surprised. "How could we not have any cars at home? I'll have the driver take you to the garage. Choose whatever car you like!"
Choose whatever car?
Now it was Ou Yan's turn to be surprised.
Song Qiaoying touched the intercom on the wall and directly contacted the driver. "Old Liu, come over and take Yanyan to the garage."
The entire garage had three floors!
Various top-tier sports cars, limited-edition sedans, luxury RVs... in all sorts of colors.
"What does the family do?" Ou Yan was shocked by the luxury cars before her eyes and finally asked.
"Don't you know, Miss Ou Yan?" The driver was also surprised. He thought that everyone would recognize Mr. Li with that face of his, after all, who didn't know the richest man in the country?! "The master has always been the richest man in Huaguo..."
Ranked first on the list of wealthy families in for twelve consecutive years!
"Since last year, after the master announced his retirement and the young master took over the conglomerate, the young master became the richest man in the country."
Regardless of who the richest person was, they were all from the Li family.
Ou Yan understood. Previously, Bai Zhenhai and Xu Aiqin said her parents were unemployed...
So, this was the kind of "unemployed" they were talking about.
After a while, a flashy sports car sound drove away from the Li family and headed towards the main road.
To avoid attracting attention, Ouyan drove the Bugatti Veyron to a nearby underground garage, where Nan Qiao had been waiting for a while.
When she got out of the car, Nan Qiao's eyes widened, her gaze lingering on the luxury car for three seconds before she asked in disbelief, "Is this your family's car?"
Five consecutive nines, the top customized version of the Bugatti Veyron, only one in the world...
Although Nan Qiao knew that Ou Yan, after acknowledging her roots, lived in the Bi'an Lake Villa in Jing City, such an expensive car wasn't something an ordinary noble family would own...
Nan Qiao covered her heart, as if she had received a great shock. "What's your father's name?"
"Li."
"Li Yuanfu??" Nan Qiao widened her eyes in shock.
"Do you know him?"
"Who doesn't know the richest man in the country? Your luck... is too good, isn't it?" Nan Qiao marveled, "The fool in the Bai family must be regretting it now."
In a top luxury private estate in the outskirts, lights were on.
The estate had a total of thirty-two entrances. When viewed from the sky, it looked like a child's drawing of the sun.
Each car would enter through a different entrance, leading to different garages. After parking, they would take a dedicated elevator to the prepared box.
They wouldn't encounter other bidders on the way, not even after the auction ended.
Because of its privacy and security, tickets for each entry were hard to come by, and everyone was vying for them.
Nan Qiao, the most favored princess of the Nan family, naturally had a way to get tickets.
She and Ou Yan were regulars here.
After parking, they took the elevator to Box No. 3, where everything from wine to snacks was available.
...
It was Li Yusha's first time in such a place. If it weren't for her friend guiding her, she wouldn't have known about the hidden world behind the luxurious private estate.
"Mengqing, how did you find out about this place?" Li Yusha had mentioned to her friend Mengqing at noon, not knowing what to bring to Mr. Si who was sick, and Mengqing suggested coming here.
"I've been here a few times with my brother before. They have everything here at the auction! Later, you can see what Mr. Si likes and bring something back for him. He'll be very happy."
Mengqing was also from a wealthy family. She speculated that while ordinary treasures might not impress Mr. Si, the items appearing at the auction were unique.
"Why haven't we seen any other customers here?" Li Yusha was puzzled.
"They're all in other boxes. There are thirty-two boxes in total surrounding the hall, and the one in the middle is the stage."
"But there's no host on the stage, everything is automated."
"Do you know why each box has a huge glass wall? It's for easy viewing of the items."
"You can see the outside from in here, but you can't see inside from the outside."
Li Yusha listened attentively to Mengqing's explanations, feeling a bit envious. If her five brothers had been willing to bring her here to broaden her horizons...
In Box No. 1, Qing Mu stood next to Si Yechen. He respectfully said, "Young Master, as the finale of the auction, the Heart Comfort Powder will appear at the last moment."
"Okay." The man sitting on the sofa had a deep and elegant voice, exuding an aura of grace and nobility.
He had heard that the Heart Comfort Powder had miraculous effects in treating heart conditions, and he wanted to bid for it to study with the medical experts around him.
"The auction has begun."
The stage in the center slowly opened, and an item emerged.
The system's voice automatically introduced the item's source and value...
The huge electronic glass wall magnified the shape of the item, making every detail clear.
It was a small bottle of Heart Comfort Powder, said to provide a cool and comfortable sensation to the heart when consumed by heart patients. It could be used to brew soup during ordinary times and mixed with water for oral consumption during episodes of illness, providing rapid pain relief.
It had no side effects when combined with any medication.
As the system introduced the item, the Heart Comfort Powder moved along the track on the floor, stopping in front of the glass walls of each box, allowing people to have a closer look.
"Yanyan, isn't this the leftover material from when you made the Yixin Pill?" Nan Qiao exclaimed, looking at the Heart Comfort Powder.
"Yes." Ouyan didn't hide anything and said honestly, "It's called making the most of what you have."
Although its effects were not as good as the Yixin Pill, it still had some medicinal value. It would be a waste to discard it.
