Adorably Cute Baby: Mommy's Going Against the Heavens

Everyone held their breath, their greedy eyes fixed on the treasure on the platform that emitted a faint starlight.

Each beating heart pounded like a drum, and everyone cried out in their hearts, longing to possess it.

Amidst the expectant yet greedy gazes of the crowd, Mei Niang's lips curled slightly.

With her slender fingers gently pointing to the slowly rising platform, she said with a charming smile, "Distinguished guests, what we will present next is tonight's grand finale—the Thousand-Year-Old Dragon Bone!"

After a pause, Mei Niang's gaze swept across the room, her tone carrying a hint of teasing, "I suppose everyone has been waiting for this for a long time, right? In order not to take up any more of your precious time, I won't waste any more words. I'm sure everyone here knows more about the effects of the thousand-year-old dragon bone than I do."

She picked up the small hammer and gently tapped the table. "So, the starting price for the thousand-year-old dragon bone is 20,000 high-grade spirit stones! Each bid must be at least 1,000 high-grade spirit stones!"

As soon as Mei Niang finished speaking, Bai Zhenting couldn't wait to call out the price: "Twenty-one thousand!"

Elder Songhe: "Twenty-two thousand!"

Xiao Chuhuan: "Twenty-three thousand!"

Bai Zhenting: "Twenty-four thousand!"

As soon as Bai Zhenting finished speaking, Bai Ruoan couldn't help but sneer, a mocking smile curving her lips: "This old man, he's really willing to spend a fortune for his good-for-nothing son! He bids without even blinking an eye!"

If it were any other insignificant item, given Bai Zhenting's cowardly and opportunistic nature, he would probably have already handed it over to Elder Songhe without daring to even consider competing for it.

After all, offending Elder Songhe would not do him any good.

However, since it concerns the interests of his own son, Bai Zhenting is determined to fight for it, even at the risk of offending the Soul Suppressing Hall.

Elder Xuanqing, who had been wearing a faint smile, completely lost it, and his face turned gloomy.

He sighed and said, "I never knew Bai Zhenting was so biased. He even dared to offend the elders of the Soul Suppressing Hall for Bai Ruoan's sake."

Elder Xuanqing felt a mix of emotions, unable to understand Bai Zhenting's favoritism. They were all his own flesh and blood, yet Bai Zhenting treated Bai Ruoan worse than a servant. In contrast, his other two sons lived in luxury, getting whatever they wanted. It was a world of difference.

It was as if Bai Ruoan wasn't his biological daughter!

Bai Ruoan had long since given up all expectations of her father, Bai Zhenting, so she remained completely unmoved.

Elder Xuanqing felt a pang of sympathy for Bai Ruoan.

A wave of regret washed over Elder Xuanqing. He deeply blamed himself for arguing with his sister over such a trivial matter, and for leaving home when she needed help the most.

Now, his sister's child, his only nephew, is being treated so unfairly. How can he live with himself?

Bai Zhenting is so biased, even willing to offend Elder Songhe for Bai Zijian's sake. Since he wants the Thousand-Year Dragon Bone so badly, how can I let him have his way so easily?

"Twenty-six thousand!" Elder Xuanqing shouted in a deep voice.

"Uncle!" Bai Ruoan instinctively stopped him, saying, "There's no need to waste money!"

"It's alright, I have money!" A calculating glint flashed in Elder Xuanqing's eyes. Perhaps he could emulate that person from before!

Elder Songhe's face darkened: "Twenty-seven thousand!"

Bai Zhenting: "Twenty-eight thousand!"

In another private room, Situ Jingxuan, having not heard Shen Yunxi's voice for a long time, grew anxious: "Didn't Yunxi come to the auction?"
