"Get some sleep... Anyone who dares to commit such a cruel act will be personally apprehended and brought to justice for you."

"What's going on? Didn't you find the right opportunity to strike?"

A cold voice from the other end of the phone interrupted the silence in the room.

"Alright, alright, consider it your bad luck. Just consider it a lost deposit! Don't expect to be able to contact us again in the future."

After saying that, he hung up the phone angrily and threw it on the coffee table with a crisp sound.

Then Shen Ying turned around and complained to her friend who was trimming her nails on the sofa across from her, "Sister Lian, I'm really going to die of anger! Two hundred thousand dollars is just a waste! If that woman surnamed Yu finds out the truth, do you think she'll come to our house and cause trouble for revenge?"

Yu Wan raised her head slightly, gently blowing away the dust on the newly painted nails, and said calmly, "Why worry about this, sister? We don't have any clues left to verify our identities. Besides, how could they possibly think that such a small group was behind this? Moreover, those guys usually have a bad reputation and very limited strength, so they are not enough to attract widespread attention."

Shen Ying blinked and thought for a moment, a thousand thoughts running through her mind. "That's true. But, Yu Xiao's luck is just too good. I heard they sent dozens of people but couldn't get her, only giving her a slight cut. This can be considered as a slight relief for the hatred in my heart."

In the previous disputes, Yu Xiao always relied on the strong supporters behind him and not only hit them but also spoke ill of them. This made Shen Ying, who has always been gentle and kind, always remember this matter in her heart, and always thought about taking revenge one day.

"Although the mission ultimately failed today, at least I left her with some minor injuries. This has calmed the anger in my heart a little."

She exhaled softly.

Then, Shen Ying turned and asked, "By the way, Sister Lianlian, I just remembered something. I heard that the Lu family in Mingzhou is going to hold a large auction. I wonder if our family has been invited to participate?"

"It's like this. It's said that each ticket allows one additional accompanying person to enter the venue. According to the information I have learned so far, almost all the prestigious families in the capital will send representatives to attend this auction."

Yu Wan replied while nodding nonchalantly as she spoke.

She then added, "Brother Yu has already mentioned this to me in advance, and I will attend the auction with him as his female companion."

However, at this moment, Yu Wan, who was concentrating on playing with her mobile phone, did not notice that a trace of subtle dissatisfaction suddenly flashed in Shen Ying's eyes.

After realizing she was about to enter the marriage palace and become a wife, Shen Ying began to actively strive for more learning opportunities and experience for herself: "Sister Lianlian, you know, I'm ready to go on a blind date and get married. So, can you give me a chance to accompany my brother to this auction to see the world? I also want to experience such a grand occasion."

After hearing this, Yu Wan, who was originally smiling like a flower, suddenly became a little gloomy, and wondered in her heart when did her sister suddenly become interested in this activity?

In fact, the answer has already been half guessed - it is all for the purpose of competing for this spot.

"Anyway, whenever there's an important occasion or event at home that needs to be attended, you always go out with your brother and have fun first! Why don't you just think of it as a good deed and give this precious opportunity to your sister?"

While making the request, Shen Ying did not forget to carefully observe the changes in the expression of her sister, who was like a jewel in her palm.

Because Shen Ying knew very well in her heart: Yu Wan was the most beloved daughter in the family. If she was allowed to complain to the elders when she was wronged, the consequences would probably fall on her head.

Whenever I recall the recent incident when I was severely criticized for angering my mother and grandmother, even a heart as strong as stone would unconsciously feel a chill.

"Is that alright? I really, really want this kind of experience. Please be sure to fulfill it for me, okay, Sister Lianlian?"

Shen Ying begged desperately, almost crying.

Seeing that her sister was so eager for her to give in, Yu Wan, who was originally immersed in joy, suddenly felt troubled.

On the one hand, he really didn't want to give up this rare opportunity; on the other hand, he felt it was not good to make things too difficult for his sister.

"Shen Ying, who are you talking to? Why are you bullying your sister Lianlian like this?"

Shen Yu, who had just come in, happened to see Yu Wan who was about to cry, so he hurried forward to show concern.

Upon hearing this, Shen Ying quickly waved her hand and clarified, "No, I just wanted to discuss with you whether you would allow me to accompany you to the auction!"

Shen Yu, who strongly opposed this, stopped her directly: "That's nonsense! You should know that my only partner is Lianlian, and there are no other branches. What are you meddling in here? You'd better go back and prepare your dowry."

After he finished speaking, he turned back and gently looked at the tearful beauty in his arms, whispering comfortingly, "In the past, whether it was a banquet or a celebration, I always asked you to accompany me. This time, it's only natural that I take you with me."

Faced with her brother's obvious favoritism, Shen Ying, who was already full of resentment and could no longer suppress the imbalance in her heart, finally exploded. "Every time you encounter something like this, you are always lucky to have Sister Lianlian by your side! But at this auction, there will be many young and talented people from all over the country gathering together to exchange experiences. How can I bear to let me stay alone at home and rot? In fact, I do this in the hope of using this opportunity to find an ideal partner worthy of entrusting my life to... For example, a super-high-quality boy like the legendary Mr. Chen, who is so suave and wealthy that it is indescribable. If I really have the chance to become his wife, I guess I will wake up with a happy smile in my dreams at night~"

After hearing this explanation, Shen Yu looked at the tearful and extremely fragile little girl beside him, and his soft spot was touched again. So he asked tentatively: "How about trying a different way to deal with it? How about letting brother take Shen Ying over?"

Yu Wan raised her head, her eyes filled with tears, a look that made people feel extremely pitiful. "Although I am full of endless anticipation for this upcoming grand gathering, since everyone thinks this is the most fair and reasonable choice, then let them do as they please."
