After round after round of fierce bidding, the atmosphere on the scene became increasingly tense and heated. Every bid was heard, which would cause a commotion and heated discussions among the crowd.

In the end, Chu Jie bought this set of Begonia Phoenix Crown headdress for 88 million yuan.

Lin Yumeng quietly approached Fu Beichen and whispered in his ear, "Hubby, didn't Chu Jie transfer all his properties to Qianqian? Where does he still have so much money?"

Fu Beichen looked at Lin Yumeng with a curious look on his face and couldn't help laughing in his heart.

"Wife, although all the properties under Chu Jie's name were given to Qianqian, with his own strong ability and extensive network of contacts, it would be easy for him to make 100 million. He can just work part-time as a consultant outside of work."

Huh? Lin Yumeng’s eyes widened, a look of disbelief on her face.

Is it so easy for these wealthy people to make money? Working part-time as a consultant can easily earn 100 million yuan. This is something many people wouldn't even dare to dream of.

If Chu Jie can do it, can my husband do it too? Is he nominally giving all his property to me, but in reality he has his own secret stash of money?

As Lin Yumeng thought about this, there was something wrong with the look in her eyes when she looked at Fu Beichen, as if she wanted to find some clues from his expression or words and actions.

Hearing her inner thoughts, Fu Beichen cried out in his heart that he was innocent, but at this time he could not openly refute her, after all, he was eavesdropping on her inner thoughts.

He swallowed his grievances, thinking that this matter was all caused by Chu Jie, and immediately used Chu Jie as an example to prove his innocence.

"Wife, I just said he has a part-time job just to show that he has the ability. After all, he is very busy expanding the Xue family's business. How can he have time for a part-time job? Besides, isn't making money for the Xue family also for himself? It will also make the Xue family recognize him more."

Lin Yumeng felt that what he said made sense, but...

"I don't think the question I asked before was this one. Are you trying to change the subject?"

Fu Beichen's heart was filled with alarm, and he immediately explained, "Wife, I just want to tell you that he has won the recognition of Uncle Xue and Aunt Xue with his strength, and he has also helped the Xue family's business expand overseas. He is still qualified to spend this little money, not to mention that this is a gift for Xue Qianqian. Uncle Xue and Aunt Xue will naturally have no objection."

This perfectly answered Lin Yumeng's doubts, but she always felt something was strange. Fu Beichen's explanation was too cautious, and when did he become so talkative?

Afraid that Lin Yumeng would continue asking questions, Fu Beichen immediately changed the subject and turned his attention to the items on the auction table.

"Wife, what do you think of this Qin Dynasty vase?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yumeng looked forward and examined the vase from top to bottom. She did not think that this vase was special. Compared with other vases, it might just look older, giving people a feeling that it has been baptized by a long time.

In fact, Lin Yumeng really lacked in-depth understanding and unique insights into these antiques, so she was not very interested in looking at them.

She was originally full of energy, but now she was wilting like a flower without water.

Fu Beichen breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, as he had passed this hurdle.

As time passed, the auction gradually came to an end, and the staff carefully walked up to the auction table holding a wooden box.

The auctioneer loudly announced, "This is the last lot of this auction! However, I must remind everyone that this lot is being auctioned blind. That is, we won't reveal the contents of the box in advance. However, I can tell you that the starting price is 20 million!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar at the scene. Because it was a blind auction, the starting price was not low, and everyone's curiosity was aroused, and their eyes turned to the wooden box on the auction table.

"This is the first time that Qunxing Auction has held a blind auction. I wonder what's inside this wooden box."

"The starting price is 20 million, so the things inside must be quite good."

"Twenty million is not a small sum. If it's not something you really like, who would be willing to pay such a high price for it?"

……

There were bursts of discussion in the crowd, and for a moment there were many different opinions, but no one dared to be the first to raise a sign to bid.

Lin Yumeng listened to the discussion of the people around her while carefully observing the wooden box.

Although she didn't know the material of the wooden box, she could tell at a glance that it was an old item and the things inside must have been there as well. Since it appeared at the Stars Auction, and as the finale, it must be extraordinary.

Just as she opened her mouth to ask Fu Beichen if he knew the origin of the wooden box, Fu Beichen had already raised his card.

"Twenty million!"

Lin Yumeng was dumbfounded and looked at Fu Beichen in astonishment, "Husband, what are you doing?"

Fu Beichen held Lin Yumeng's soft and boneless little hand tightly, with a soft and warm smile on his lips.

"Honey, now that we're here, we have to take some photos back."

Lin Yumeng was at a loss for words when she heard this. Someone who didn't know would have thought he'd bought some small gadget, something worth ten or eight yuan. But this was twenty million yuan, and he didn't even know what was inside, yet he just raised the bid. He really was rich and powerful.

But when I think about how he had spent hundreds of millions of dollars on buying things for her before, it seems that 20 million is not a lot in comparison.

If she had seen someone in her previous life who didn't treat money as money, she would probably have slapped her thigh and called him a spendthrift.

But she is not short of money in this life, money is just a number to her.

She also wanted to say a famous quote, "I'm not interested in money!"

Haha ...

Thinking of this, Lin Yumeng couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Because Fu Beichen took action, several people who were waiting and watching also raised their hands. In their opinion, if Fu Beichen was willing to spend a large sum of money to bid for something, it must be a good thing. Maybe he knew the inside story.

Lin Yumeng didn’t know what they were thinking, she just felt that there were so many rich people.

In less than five minutes, the item in the wooden box went from an initial starting price of 20 million to a bid of 80 million, and there was a trend of continued growth.

This melodramatic plot made Lin Yumeng a little confused. If it continues like this, the things in the wooden box will probably become the most expensive item in today's auction.

The auctioneer glanced at Fu Beichen, extremely anxious. He hadn't expected that so many people would fight for the item even though it was in a wooden box.

Although Mr. Fu promised to donate all the proceeds from the auction to children in need in the name of the celebrity auction, this price was beyond his imagination. Mr. Fu wouldn't think that they were deliberately raising the price to force him to pay more, right?

Cold sweat broke out on the auctioneer's forehead. If this continued, he was afraid that the Star Auction would end here and there and there would never be another one.

However, it was already this late and he couldn't call a halt. There was no rule for calling a halt in an auction.

Although he was extremely panicked, he had no choice but to continue holding the auction.

As the bidding price continued to rise, beads of sweat began to ooze out of his forehead and slide down his cheeks, and the clothes on his back were unknowingly soaked with sweat.

Finally, after a fierce competition, the item in the mysterious wooden box finally fell into Fu Beichen's hands, and the transaction price was a staggering 120 million!

The final decision has been made and there will be no changes.

The auctioneer was both surprised and happy. He was surprised that the item got such a high price, but he was happy that the item finally fell into Fu Beichen's hands.

Lin Yumeng looked at Fu Beichen's exquisite profile with a pang of pain. Although this money was not earned by her, it was also the common property of the couple.

[This prodigal son! Even if he has money at home, he wouldn't spend it like this. Who would spend 1 million on blind boxes? But that's real money, not something you can earn by growing vegetables and watering flowers on a farm.]

Fu Beichen felt a pain in his waist and turned his head to see Lin Yumeng's other hand twisting his waist.

Seeing him looking at her, she raised her head, met his eyes, and glared at him fiercely.

[What are you looking at? If there weren't so many people here and I had to save your face, I would have pulled down your pants and spanked you.]

Fu Beichen's body trembled. Was it what he thought?

The auctioneer held the wooden box and walked slowly towards Fu Beichen with a slightly staggering step, his hands and feet shaking violently.

"Fu...Mr. Fu..."

The auctioneer spoke tremblingly, but before he could finish his words, Lin Yumeng whispered to Fu Beichen, "Honey, the temperature in the auction hall is just right. This auctioneer was just standing there and didn't do any strenuous exercise. Why is he so pale and sweaty? Is he sick?"

Fu Beichen glanced at the auctioneer casually and almost knelt down.

"Wife, if you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed. Maybe he went to work while sick. He's quite conscientious."

The auctioneer forced a smile, wanting to explain but not daring to speak. He nervously handed the wooden box to Fu Beichen, "Mr. Fu, congratulations on winning this item."
