On the day of her return to China, she was tied up and coaxed by the richest man to get her marriage

"I knew it! Why would Patriarch Yu let his stepdaughter be his representative? It turns out she made it all up to save face. We've all been fooled by her!"

"After watching the whole thing and putting myself in Miss Yu's shoes, I felt really good. The stepdaughter is so short-sighted. She's so proud of herself with tens of millions, but little does she know that the real heiress has hundreds of millions in assets. This is such a slap in the face, I feel sorry for the stepdaughter!"

"Tsk, the stepmother and stepsister of the Yu family are quite ambitious, trying to drive Miss Yu away... Their behavior of usurping the family's place is really disgusting. I don't know what the head of the Yu family thought of them."

Lin Hui and her daughter's plan to suppress Yu Jinzhao failed, and their true colors were exposed instead, causing them to lose face instantly.

The contemptuous gazes of the crowd surged over them like a tidal wave, each drop of water instantly transforming into countless steel needles that pierced the hearts of the mother and daughter without hesitation, nailing them to the pillar of shame.

Lin Hui had a strong mentality and managed to maintain her composure, but Jiang Xintong broke down immediately, her face turning as white as a ghost, unwilling to face the cruel reality.

She thought she could stand on Yu Jinzhao's head and enjoy the spotlight, but how come she was trampled underfoot again in such a short time?

Yu Jinzhao admired their dejected expressions for a moment, then turned and walked into the auction hall.

Unlike the opulent exterior of the hall, the interior is decorated in an antique style, with even the wallpaper featuring ink-wash blue-and-white patterns.

The elegant guzheng music gently wafts through the air, every detail exuding traditional Chinese style.

The guests were too busy socializing to notice these things.

Yu Jinchao quietly admired it, feeling a sudden burst of inspiration, because her mother had always loved traditional Chinese style, and she also liked this style very much.

Surprisingly, the heir of the Bo family also likes traditional Chinese style.

"elder sister."

Jiang Xintong, like a persistent ghost, followed her over. Always adept at managing her expressions, she had already regained her composure and was smiling at her.

"Uncle Yu asked me to come and apply medicine to Grandma. He must have made a mistake with the invitation. I hope you won't argue with me later."

After all, the Bo family is doing charity work; the medicine isn't awarded to the highest bidder. Bidding and raising prices would be embarrassing; it relies on medical expertise and diagnosis.

The implication is that even if Yu Jinzhao had hundreds of millions, it wouldn't matter; to acquire the Linden Wood Red Lingzhi at auction, one must rely on expertise.

"So you knew this was for charity."

Yu Jinzhao raised an eyebrow, scrutinized Jiang Xintong from top to bottom, a faint smile playing on his lips, his gaze revealing a hint of disdain.

Sometimes, she admired Jiang Xintong, who could pretend nothing had happened and still communicate with her even though they had already broken off relations.

Jiang Xintong's heart skipped a beat, feeling that Yu Jinzhao's eyes were too unfathomable, as if he was hinting that she was about to have bad luck.

Ha, how could she possibly be unlucky?

"I know Uncle Yu has always favored my sister, but the Yu family's finances are controlled by Brother Jinxian. Even if Uncle Yu wanted to give you pocket money privately, he wouldn't be able to. So, this money of over 100 million must have come from the Si family, right?"

The Si family is incredibly wealthy, and every item in their house is priceless. Therefore, it can be inferred that Yu Jinzhao must have stolen it.

After all, Si Qing had a personal grudge against her. Even if she married into the Si family, she would not receive respect, let alone enjoy the Si family's wealth and luxury.

Jiang Xintong felt she had caught Yu Jinzhao red-handed, and licked her lips.

"You better behave yourself and stop causing trouble for me, or I will definitely go to the Si family and expose your true colors."

She was genuinely afraid that Yu Jinzhao, that fool, would openly and maliciously raise the price against her in order to obtain the Linden Wood Red Lingzhi, which would anger the Bo family and implicate her as well!

Yu Jinzhao ignored her and focused on finding her seat.

Seeing that she was determined to make things difficult for her, Jiang Xintong gritted her teeth and spoke with an air of superiority.

"Uncle Yu gave me fifty million. I will obtain the Linden Wood Red Lingzhi through my own abilities. If Brother Jinxian is in a good mood, I will put in a good word for you, and he will unfreeze your bank card..."

She had been thwarted by the invitation issue and needed to regain her confidence through money.

After all, she can control such a large sum of money, which was originally an honor belonging to Yu Jinzhao, but now it belongs to her.

Yu Jinzhao chuckled softly at her self-righteous words, tilting his head and giving her a wicked smile.

“My father gave me fifty million. Your money is useless tonight. He will probably take it back in full later. Don’t flaunt it to me.”

Her breath was laced with a smile, full of arrogance and disdain, as if she could see right through my thoughts, and then expressed it with utter disdain.

No matter how hard I try, I can never replace her.

Jiang Xintong took a deep breath and looked at Yu Jinzhao's back as he turned away. She didn't believe that Uncle Yu would give her fifty million; he must be lying.

Just then, her phone rang. It was Yu Zongxian calling. She answered quickly and immediately asked...

"Uncle Yu, did you get the invitation wrong? Why is my sister listed as the representative...?"

"Chaochao is my biological daughter, so of course she represents me. What's wrong with that?"

Yu Zongxian's answer was like a bucket of cold water poured on Jiang Xintong, chilling her to the bone.

“I had Butler Yu accompany you and your mother because I was worried you wouldn’t be able to get in. Now that you’ve seen your sister, you and your mother should try to take care of her as much as possible.”

Jiang Xintong nearly crushed her phone, forcing a smile, "Didn't Brother Jinxian say not to tell Sister about the auction...?"

"So you have to keep this a secret. Don't tell Xian'er that your sister is in a bad mood. As her father, I feel sorry for her. I specially gave her 50 million to come and have some fun. Your sister loves to join in the fun. I hope she has a good time, just like before."

Yu Zongxian spoke gently, then his tone became a little more forceful.

"Remember, whatever you do, don't upset your sister. Just make sure you get the medicine. After it's done, Uncle Yu will have his last three hundred yuan of savings, which he will give to you."
