The Female Supporting Character in Quick Transmigration is Making a Comeback
Chapter 8 The Heiress in a Wealthy Family (7)
On a night with few stars, silver light poured down, casting dappled shadows on the trees in the distance, while the mansions of merchants shone brightly.
Today is Mr. Shang's 60th birthday. The business community sent out many invitations well in advance, inviting business celebrities and government officials.
"Young Master Shang, I heard your ex-wife is coming today?" In a corner of the banquet hall, Zhang Han leisurely swirled his wine glass.
"What does her coming have to do with me? Besides, the old man has always maintained contact with the Huang family, so isn't it normal for him to invite someone from the Huang family?" Shang Molin said casually.
“If she keeps bothering you later, I won’t help you,”
Zhang Han took a sip of his drink. Now that the two of them were rivals in love, he wasn't going to help his rival.
If Shang Molin is entangled with his ex-wife, he will have a chance to complain once he finds the fairy.
Shang Molin glanced at him, "Can't I handle a woman?" He's dated at least a hundred, if not a thousand, of women.
He was a little worried. What exactly was the connection between that goddess and the Huang family? Ever since he met her, she had frequently appeared in his dreams.
Even after hiring a private investigator, they haven't found any useful information yet; it seems someone is obstructing their work.
"Brother Shang, so you've been here all along! I've been looking for you for ages!" A girl dressed in a fresh and sweet style walked over.
The person who came was Luo Xin from the Luo family. She had liked Shang Molin since she was a child, but Shang Molin was indifferent to her and always gave her a cold face.
Shang Molin glanced at her but ignored her completely, continuing to drink by himself.
Luo Xin's expression was a little unpleasant, but she quickly adjusted her mindset.
She believed that sincerity could move mountains, and that since her brother Shang was not yet married, he would one day see her devotion and accept her.
"Brother Shang, there are so many people here today! Grandpa Shang is really amazing, so many people are celebrating his birthday."
Ignoring Shang Molin's coldness, Luo Xin sat down next to him and started talking to herself.
"Oh dear, Young Master Shang, you really have no chivalry whatsoever," Zhang Han chimed in, fanning the flames.
"If you're so good, then you do it! I'm not going to fight you for it!" The words that came out of Shang Molin's perfectly shaped lips were so vicious.
These words struck Luo Xin's heart, and tears welled up in her eyes: "Brother Shang, how...how could you say such a thing?"
She didn't mind Shang Molin's constant scandals, and she still loved him wholeheartedly. How could he say such things about her?
This woman has no temper at all. What right does she have to question him? Shang Molin's face turned cold: "Don't bother me. Just looking at you makes me want to vomit!"
Upon hearing these words, Luo Xin's face turned deathly pale. She looked at him as if she had never met him before. After a long while, she burst into tears and ran away.
After Luo Xin ran away, Shang Molin's expression improved.
These past few days, the goddess seems to have disappeared; nothing can be found about her. He's feeling quite down, especially since Luo Xin just happened to be there.
Zhang Han, unafraid of death, continued to pluck feathers from the tiger's mouth: "Young Master Shang, Luo Xin is actually not bad either. She's cute and obedient. If you marry her, it won't stop you from having fun outside."
These words made Shang Molin's face turn dark instantly: "Zhang Han, our brotherhood has lasted for so many years, is it not as good as a woman?"
Shang Molin planned to use a conciliatory approach to prevent Zhang Han from competing with him.
"As far as the goddess is concerned, there's no brotherly bond between us. Why do you expect me to stop competing with you?"
Doesn't Zhang Han know him well enough? Haven't you heard the saying, "Brothers are like clothes, goddesses are like limbs"?
Clothes can be replaced, but can you chop off your hands and feet? Absolutely not.
"Alright, let's compete fairly, but there's one condition: if we have any news about the goddess, we must exchange it, and we also need to be wary of anyone else around her."
Seeing that Zhang Han was impossible to reason with, Shang Molin decided to join forces with him to guard against other people who were interested in the goddess.
"Deal. Regardless of which one of us the goddess ultimately chooses, we should wish each other well."
Zhang Han had the same idea; no matter which of them the goddess chose, at least no one else would get her.
These two now treat Huang Xian'er as their possession. Doesn't Huang Xian'er have a better choice than them?
Just then, a series of exclamations came from outside the door, and the Huang family patriarch, Huang Rude, and his family walked in.
Everyone's attention was focused on the woman holding Grandpa Huang's arm, and the exclamations came from this woman.
She wore a long silver dress, which rippled gently with her steps, like flowing water.
Her skirt was embroidered with delicate patterns, like flowers blooming in winter, both elegant and full of vitality. Her face was even more breathtakingly beautiful.
The two looked closely and saw that it was the goddess they were looking for. What was her relationship with Old Master Huang?
The two of them quickly got up and walked towards Grandpa Huang's side.
At this moment, Old Master Huang was surrounded by many talented young men, ostensibly to greet him.
In fact, that gaze never left Huang Xian'er. Old Master Huang had lived to this age; what didn't he understand?
Grandpa Huang beckoned to Huang Minghao and Huang Mingyue, who were dressed in their finest attire, and had the two of them stand on either side of Huang Xian'er.
Even so, to prevent others from having a chance to take advantage, the area around them was still crowded with people.
This action made Shang Molin and Zhang Han's teeth itch with envy. They wondered what the Huang family had to do with the goddess, and were just about to ask when...
The host on stage began to speak.
"Distinguished guests, welcome to the event celebrating Mr. Shang Hongjun's 60th birthday and charity auction. Now, please welcome Mr. Shang to the stage to give a speech..."
The elderly Mr. Shang on stage was dressed smartly, and his speech followed a commercial style.
"Finally, I wish everyone a great time..." After finally waiting for Old Master Shang to finish his speech, the auction began again.
The host began, "Please be seated, everyone. The charity auction is about to begin..."
Shang Molin and Zhang Han had no choice but to patiently wait for the auction to end.
"The first item for auction is an antique vase provided by Mr. Shang, with a starting bid of 100 million..."
As soon as the host finished speaking, people below began raising placards in droves. Whether it was an antique or not didn't matter; the main thing was to curry favor with the merchant.
"110 million,"
"120 million,"
"125 million,"
...
As the bidding continued to rise, the antique vase was finally sold for 150 million yuan and acquired by the Lin family.
The Lin family is a third-rate family in W City. The fact that they were able to successfully talk to Old Master Shang after winning the bid for this item made the Lin family head beam with joy.
A considerable number of items were subsequently sold at auction.
"The last item for auction is provided by the Huang family: one antidote pill. This antidote pill can cure all poisons in the world. If you believe in its effectiveness, you can bid. The starting bid is 10..."
The prominent families present were not interested in this. If it could really cure all poisons, then why were the number of people using drugs increasing day by day?
Huo Shi, the second son of the Huo family, a prominent military and political family, was assigned to attend the banquet. Upon hearing the host's words, his eyes lit up.
Huo Jue, the leader of the Huo gang, fell into the Snake Cave while trying to save his comrades during a mission. He is currently in a coma in the hospital.
We've tried all kinds of serum, both domestic and foreign, and barely managed to keep him alive. Doctors have now diagnosed him as being in a vegetative state.
So in the end, Huo Shi won the bid for the antidote pill for 15. After winning the bid, Huo Shi disregarded the banquet and rushed to the hospital with the antidote pill...
