After being forced into a marriage of convenience, a master of metaphysics manipulates a cold and al

"Nonsense! Who do you think I am to go back on my word to someone like you?"

"But you have to use your own money to film it. It's no fun if you're just living off the Qin family."

Zhao Wuyai became increasingly disdainful, and even took out a cigar, putting it in his mouth like his father, striking a pose like a wealthy tycoon.

The Qin family is indeed wealthy, but that doesn't mean Ye Bai is also rich.

During this period, because he wanted to take revenge, he had Donghetang collect a lot of information about Ye Bai.

This adopted son of the Ye family was much poorer than people imagined.

They were so poor they could be described as dirt poor.

When I was with the Ye family, it was hard to even have four figures in my bank account, let alone five figures!

It wasn't until she went to the Qin family that Qin Wanqing would give her some pocket money from time to time, and that's when she started to dress up properly.

Otherwise, they might not even be able to afford new clothes.

Later, although he made a mistake and lost the November Bar to his opponent, which made this poor guy turn his life around, he didn't expect that in order to please Queen Qin, he would have a brain fart and give away the bar and all its profits!

That's why, in the end, even if you scrape together the last million to buy a car, it's still only around a million.

For true scions of wealthy families like them, a car of that caliber is practically no different from a bicycle; they'd rather be given one for free than drive it around in a shabby way.

So how high a price would such a poor guy dare to ask for at this kind of auction?

100,000? 200,000? That's probably the absolute maximum.

Even if it increases tenfold, it will only amount to a maximum of two million!

The Zhao family is going to throw out at least 100 million yuan at this charity auction today!

In order to please the Admiral, the Zhao family has never been stingy with money!

As for Ye Bai deliberately asking for a high price to rip him off, such as one or two million or even three or five million, Zhao Wuyai couldn't be happier.

He'll just find an excuse to stop filming then, let's see how he gets out of this mess!

Even though Qin Wanqing paid the bill to save face, Ye Bai's reputation as a gigolo was completely solidified, and he was thoroughly disgraced in the entire circle of wealthy families.

Anyway, he's definitely not at a loss!

While feeling smug, Zhao Wuyai also glanced at Han Mengmeng.

He definitely won't be able to get Qin Wanqing anytime soon, but it's not difficult to make other women cheat on him, as long as he's willing to spend money.

But it was clear that the Queen of Qin could not be won over by such means; at the very least, she would have to be made a widow first.

So before that, he still had to figure out how to win over that little princess of the Han family.

This was a task assigned to him by the Zhao family that he had to complete!

However, due to his recent hospitalization, his relationship with Han Mengmeng, which had grown closer, suddenly became distant again.

From the time he was hospitalized until his discharge, the other party didn't even visit him once.

This means he still has to work hard to win the heart of that little princess.

But when Zhao Wuyai saw Han Mengmeng looking at Ye Bai with an adoring expression, he was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood!

He just couldn't understand it. Did this good-for-nothing surnamed Ye have flowers growing on his face? Why did all the most outstanding young ladies from the wealthy families in Jingzhou like to hang around this guy, and why did they all look so infatuated?

In terms of looks, Zhao Wuyai believed that although he was not the most outstanding among the young masters of wealthy families, he was definitely better than Ye Bai.

In terms of family background, he is miles ahead of the other party!

So, what exactly is wrong with this world?

Just as Zhao Wuyai was driven nearly mad with jealousy and hatred, the auction, which had been interrupted by this little incident, resumed.

Throughout the entire process, none of the heads of those wealthy families dared to interfere.

This applies to Zhao Yanwang, Ye Bai's adoptive father Ye Wentian, and others.

The elders never get involved in the struggles among the younger generation; this has always been the rule of the powerful families in Jingzhou.

As long as it doesn't escalate to the point of causing death, we always turn a blind eye.

However, to everyone's surprise, the auction items had barely been brought up, and before the host could even introduce them, someone raised a paddle and shouted out the price.

"Half a million!"

It was none other than Ye Bai, who had been watching the commotion all along.

puff!

Hearing Ye Bai's bidding method, the assembled tycoons almost spat out their tea.

Even if it's a charity auction, even if you younger folks are just arguing, you should at least check what the items are first, right?

To bid without even knowing what it is is simply too frivolous.

Even Qin Wanqing looked up and held her forehead, speechless for a moment, and began to wonder if this was the legendary "blind shooting"?

Because of Ye Bai's unconventional approach, the host was completely bewildered and got stuck on the spot.

Just as she finally took a deep breath and calmed herself down, about to speak with a smile, she heard Ye Bai start shouting again from below.

"Zhao Wuyai, stop pretending to be dead. If you're scared by my offer, just say you're convinced. It's not shameful!"

Holy crap! I'm totally impressed! Do you think I, the young master of the Zhao family, would be intimidated by a spineless son-in-law like you?

Zhao Wuyai was so angry that his face turned black, and without hesitation, he raised the sign in his hand.

"five million!"

This is the first item up for auction in the "battle of the auctions." Zhao Wuyai had already made his point clear, so naturally he wasn't going to back down.

Moreover, Ye Bai only asked for 500,000; he might be able to come up with that amount of money.

Moreover, according to the rule that the price of auction items increases as the auction progresses, this item, no matter what it is, should be worth around two to three hundred thousand or even four to five hundred thousand. A price of five hundred thousand wouldn't be much of a rip-off for the other party.

If you want to scam Ye Bai, you have to get him to ask for a price of at least one or two million.

He's the son-in-law of the Qin family after all; he must have hundreds of thousands of yuan in pocket money in his account.

Zhao Wuyai's judgment wasn't actually wrong; he simply underestimated Ye Bai's ability to spend money.

If he knew that this guy didn't even have tens of thousands of yuan in his account, let alone hundreds of thousands, he would probably be furious on the spot.

"These two little guys are really..."

Hearing the price Zhao Wuyai called out, the group of wealthy and powerful figures were somewhat amused, but in the end, they said nothing.

After all, it's a charity auction, so let the younger generation do whatever they want. As long as the items are sold, the mission is accomplished.

Moreover, the more funds raised in the end, the more satisfied the Admiral will be.

Whether or not they were taken advantage of, nobody cared.

The standard for a wealthy family in Jingzhou is that their total assets reach 10 billion.

A few million is just a drop in the ocean for any wealthy family.

The only exception is Zhao Wuyai.

Seeing that no one else was bidding, and that he had only won a jade inkstone worth around 200,000 yuan, Zhao Wuyai felt like vomiting blood!

A 25-fold premium—even in a charity auction, that's a total rip-off!

But then Ye Bai clapped his hands, gave Zhao Wuyai a thumbs-up, and smiled, saying, "Young Master Zhao is indeed magnanimous!"
