Inside the charity auction venue, the lights were bright, the people were dressed in beautiful clothes, the guests were chatting and laughing. To them, this was a social occasion, not an auction. Every exhibit had already been secretly priced according to the different donors.

The ones who came to the Fu family today were the eldest sister and the younger sister.

The eldest sister of the Fu family handed the number plate to the younger sister and said indifferently: "Your limit today is 15 million. Just take a picture of whatever you like."

The young girl of the Fu family took the sign obediently: "Thank you, big sister."

"I'm going to go say hello to the other uncles, you can have fun on your own and just take a seat before the shooting starts."

"Ok."

During the whole process, the eldest sister of the Fu family did not say a word to her brother-in-law. Even when she left, she did not even look at him, as if the other party was a transparent person.

After the eldest sister of the Fu family walked away, Geng Liyun stood up for his wife: "She didn't take you to meet your uncles and aunts, and she also limited the amount of your auction... She is really a good sister."

The young lady of the Fu family pulled her husband and said, "Stop talking. Be careful not to let others hear you."

"I'm speaking up for you, too." Geng Liyun hugged his wife's shoulders distressedly. "We are both children of the Fu family. She can work in the head office and represent the Fu family outside, but you can only work in a subsidiary. Every time I see her looking at you in a bad light, I feel uncomfortable."

The younger sister of the Fu family sighed: "Eldest sister is older than us and joined the company earlier. It's too difficult to compete with her. I think we are doing well now. We have a sinecure, earn money and have time to play. It's much better than working hard for the company every day."

"You are just too naive. Now that your father is still around, your elder sister can't do anything to you. When your father is no longer in charge and she is in power, do you think she will still be as easy to talk to as she is now?"

Upon hearing this, the younger sister of the Fu family fell silent.

Seeing this, Geng Liyun immediately comforted her softly, "Don't be too sad. No matter what the future holds, I will always be with you."

The young lady of the Fu family looked at Geng Liyun with emotion: "I know you treat me the best."

"Sishi! I didn't expect you to come today too." The one who greeted her was the young lady of the Duan family. She was about the same age as Fu Sishi and they got along pretty well.

"Li Yun wanted to come and see, so I mentioned it to my eldest sister."

"Oh..." Miss Duan glanced at Geng Liyun. She actually thought very highly of this man. His family background might be considered good among ordinary people, but in their circle, it was not good enough.

But what could she do? Fu Sishi just liked Geng Liyun, and got married at a young age despite her mother's opposition.

Although Miss Duan looked down on Geng Liyun, she would not show it too obviously for the sake of her friend, so she smiled and greeted Geng Liyun.

Then Miss Duan asked mysteriously, "Have you heard? This time the female auctioneer can communicate with spirits. She has helped many wealthy people there solve unspeakable problems before."

Fu Sishi shook her head and asked curiously, "Is it really that magical?"

Fu Sishi said doubtfully: "You also know about my family. We have invited many masters before, but they all turned out to be people who were seeking fame and reputation."

Miss Duan showed a surprised expression: "Don't you know?"

Fu Sishi asked in confusion: "Know what?"

"At the exhibition a few days ago, she said she dreamed about your brother. How could you not know?"

"Which brother of mine? Could it be a spring dream?"

"Fu Yanxi."

Fu Sishi's smile froze on her face immediately. She asked hesitantly, "She...what is her relationship with my brother? Why did she dream about my brother..."

These rich daughters and sons grew up in a group of smart people. Miss Duan soon realized that it was the eldest sister of the Fu family who went to the exhibition that day who deliberately concealed the news. As for the reason, it was naturally because she did not want to cause trouble in the battle of heirs.

"Then I'm not sure either..." Miss Duan asked with concern, "Why did you turn so pale all of a sudden?"

Fu Sishi laughed dryly, rubbed her arm and said, "I feel a little cold. I'll put on a coat."

"Okay, see you later."

Fu Sishi dragged Geng Liyun away quickly. When they reached a remote corner, she let out her fear and anxiety. "What do you think she dreamed about my brother? Could it be... that my brother turned into a ghost and came to her to seek justice?"

Geng Liyun comforted him softly: "Don't overthink it. Maybe she just came to Victoria Harbour for the first time and wanted to create some topics for herself."

"Really, really?"

"Of course. Think about it, if she really had the dream, would she not come to me? There are too many people who deliberately flatter themselves."

"Your family invited so many masters before, but who found your brother? They couldn't even tell whether he was dead or alive. They are all liars." Geng Liyun laughed sarcastically, "Do you still believe this?"

Fu Sishi thought about it carefully and agreed.

"Okay, okay, it's been so long." Geng Liyun hugged Fu Sishi, "If it could be found out, the police would have found it long ago."

Under the dual impact of fear and guilt, Fu Sishi's eyes became moist. She leaned on her husband's shoulder and murmured: "I don't want to... I really don't want to..."

"I know, of course I know, it's not your fault, it's just his bad luck."

Fu Sishi buried her head in Geng Liyun's shoulder and could not see the strange and gloomy smile on his face.

The huge crystal chandelier illuminates the entire venue.

Everyone is smiling, but everyone has their own thoughts.

Ye Sha stood behind the curtain, watching all this quietly.

Jiang Ruochu, who was about to go on stage, looked calm and composed, and even had the leisure to tease Ye Sha: "What are you looking at? You look so engrossed."

Ye Sha said calmly, "I saw a comment online before, saying that they wanted everything because they were poor."

"Wealth does not make everyone less desirable."

Jiang Ruochu said with a smile: "If you stay any longer, you will probably become a philosopher."

"A philosophical demon?" Ye Sha thought about it seriously, "It seems not bad."

"That's right." Jiang Ruochu saw that the auction assistant was already signaling to her, so she nodded and entrusted him with the important task, "I'll leave it to you to decide what to eat tonight."

Ye Sha blankly responded, "Ah?"

Jiang Ruochu said pitifully, "I was held hostage by people from various families as soon as I arrived today. I couldn't even eat properly. I can only put my hopes on midnight snacks and you."

Yesha: “…”

Such wealthy gatherings inevitably involve meals, and all of them are desserts from five-star hotels. However, they are just displayed on pretty stands and not many people would actually eat them.

Except for people like Jiang Ruochu and Ye Sha.

"You should be glad that you didn't eat it. If you don't eat it, you will regret it for a night. If you eat it, you will regret it for a month." Ye Sha's disdainful tone was full of sincerity.

Jiang Ruochu couldn't help laughing when she heard that. When she laughed, her eyes were bright and charming, which made Ye Sha lose his mind.

At this moment, the auctioneer on stage introduced: "Next, let us invite Miss Jiang Ruochu, the auctioneer of this charity auction, to come on stage."

Jiang Ruochu, wearing a light blue dress, walked gracefully to the front of the stage. The platinum light shone on her, making her look elegant and beautiful.

When working as an auctioneer, Jiang Ruochu never dressed to overshadow the crowd, but her temperament could still catch everyone's attention instantly. This is a beauty that does not need clothes to set off.

Ye Sha stared at Jiang Ruochu's back under the light, and felt that it was like the ripples created by the spring breeze blowing across the blue lake, so beautiful that one could not take his eyes away.

All the guests present were powerful people who could call the shots, but Jiang Ruchu on the stage remained neither humble nor arrogant, calm and composed, just being herself.

When Jiang Ruochu was introducing the first auction item to the guests, Ye Sha suddenly raised his eyelashes and looked up alertly but calmly.

At this moment, all the lights were turned off and the venue was plunged into darkness.
