silence.

Deathly silence.

The guests had never seen the young master Bo so cold and ruthless, and they were filled with unease.

They couldn't help but look at their own clothes. A few noblewomen, who were also wearing mink, were so frightened that they were trembling all over.

They thought that Young Master Bo would have the security guards throw them out as well, but Bo Sibai calmly waved for the guards to leave, and had already returned to his usual gentle and refined appearance, as if his previous gloomy demeanor was just a dream.

He didn't chase them away?

Why target Lin Hui and her daughter specifically?

Si Yao, arm in arm with Yu Jinzhao, faced Bo Sibai and spoke softly.

“Si Bai, it’s that mother and daughter who are short-sighted, it has nothing to do with Chaochao. She is our Si family’s doctor, don’t involve her.”

Bo Sibai took two steps forward and stood in front of Si Yao. His warm, amber eyes swept over Si Yao and landed on Yu Jinzhao. His voice was as clear as tea.

"I know."

When Yu Jinzhao was being looked at by him, he felt that his gentle gaze was full of kindness, and a bittersweet feeling welled up in his heart.

She suppressed her strange feeling, curved her lips into a smile, and politely returned the smile.

The girl possessed a pure and elegant quality, like moonlight.

When he smiled, his fox-like eyes tilted upwards, forming a crescent shape. He looked into her eyes as if they were shining stars, sparkling brilliantly.

Bo Sibai extended his hand to her, his eyes crinkling at the corners, his smile as bright as the first snow after a storm.

"Hello, I am Bo Sibai."

hiss!

Everyone gasped in disbelief that Young Master Bo would actually take the initiative to get to know Yu Jinzhao...

Despite being known as a gentle and refined young master, and seemingly easy to talk to, the gentler a person is, the more unapproachable that person can be.

He only befriended Si Qing and ignored everyone else.

What exactly did Yu Jinchao do to make this aloof celestial being make an exception for her?

Si Yao was also quite surprised by Bo Sibai's overtures to Yu Jinzhao.

The warmth emanating from his eyes was obvious, a warmth he never showed to her, his childhood friend...

Yu Jinzhao raised her hand and placed it in his palm.

He touched it lightly with great tact, then put it down.

"I am Yu Jinzhao."

Bo Sibai's eyes rippled as he inadvertently thought that Si Qing's new wife also had the surname Yu, and he never expected that the doctor who took care of him also had the surname Yu.

He didn't think much of it; there were too many large and small aristocratic families in Beijing, so it wasn't strange to have the same surname.

Si Yao originally wanted to tell Bo Sibai directly that Yu Jinzhao was her sister-in-law, but there were too many people around and it was not appropriate to say it openly. She could only say it another time.

At this moment, the sound of gongs and drums rang out, and the auction officially began.

Everyone looked towards the stage, where the host walked out, dressed in a traditional Chinese style long dress. Her appearance was like a wake-up call, enlightening everyone.

I couldn't help but look at Yu Jinzhao again; she was also wearing a traditional Chinese style long dress.

Bo Sibai stood in front of her, also dressed in a traditional Chinese style outfit.

She is hazy blue, he is sky blue... one dark and one light, they complement each other perfectly.

From a distance, they actually look like siblings from a wealthy family.

Everyone then realized that the Bo family's auction tonight had a traditional Chinese style theme.

So it's not that Yu Jinzhao is ignorant of etiquette, but rather that she is too well-mannered.

In contrast, they, dressed in fine clothes, were the ones who stood out from the crowd.

No wonder Bo Sibai took the initiative to befriend Yu Jinzhao; among everyone, she was the only one who took this charity auction seriously.

They were all intelligent people, and they almost immediately spotted the blind spot.

The Bo family is known for its tolerance and generosity, and their involvement with animal protection organizations is certainly not a recent development.

However, over the years, the auction has never criticized the guests' attire.

The reason they only drove away Lin Hui and her daughter, but didn't pursue the other guests wearing mink coats.

Just because Lin Hui and her daughter were wearing mink coats, they openly criticized Yu Jinzhao for his rude attire, calling it an insult to the Bo family's auction.

The tiny details, which everyone overlooked, were enough to show that Miss Yu was meticulous and wise, and not the good-for-nothing she was rumored to be.

This immediately won the favor of both the Si and Bo families, and his future looked very promising!

Si Yao understood and couldn't help but secretly praise Yu Jinzhao for being smart and capable. She glanced at her watch and said to Bo Sibai, "Sibai, I have to go now. Could you please look after Chaochao for me?"

Bo Sibai nodded gently.

Si Yao smiled gratefully at him, then pulled Yu Jinzhao aside and whispered, "The auction might end very late, so I'll leave my driver with you."

Yu Jinzhao shook her head, "No need, sister, I'll take a taxi home myself."

"Since you call me 'sister,' don't refuse my kindness." Si Yao's expression turned serious, leaving no room for argument, as she arranged everything for her.

She had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Si Yao turned to walk out, but just as she shifted her leg slightly, she was gently called back.

"elder sister."

Si Yao looked at her, puzzled, and gave a soft "hmm".

"Thank you."

Yu Jinzhao's eyes rippled, and the curve of her lips was even warmer than the spring sun.

Looking into her clear, fox-like eyes, Si Yao felt a surge of tenderness in her heart.

I was just doing what an older sister should do; I don't deserve a thank you.

It's hard to believe that she's such an easily moved person, a pampered young lady who grew up in luxury.

She couldn't help but think of the ambiguous things her stepmother and stepsister had said to her earlier; they were clearly cunning and not good people.

Perhaps she was pampered before, but under the instigation of her stepmother and stepsister, her loving father and brothers changed...

Therefore, the composure she displays today and the information about her past revealed by the investigation show that she is a completely different person.

Thinking about it this way, Si Yao suddenly felt sorry for her and regretted her previous misunderstanding of her even more.

Si Yao reached out and placed her hand on her head, gently rubbing it.

"Go home early tonight."

"..."

Yu Jinzhao was clearly taken aback when he was suddenly patted on the head.

Looking at her slightly dazed eyes, she looked more and more like Ah Qing when he was a child, always looking silly when his head was patted.

Quite cute.

Si Yao did what she had wanted to do that morning, and feeling very satisfied, she turned and left.

Outside the Century Hotel.

Lin Hui and her daughter, who had been thrown out, stood by the roadside, on the verge of tears.

They arrived full of vigor and high spirits, but now they are in a sorry state.

"Mom, what should we do? We didn't manage to get the medicine, and we've offended Young Master Bo. Will Uncle Yu and Brother Jinxian be angry?" Jiang Xintong was at a loss and held her mother's hand tightly.

Lin Hui was also a little unsteady on her feet, but fortunately, Butler Yu supported her waist and gave her some support.

She shook the housekeeper's hand, took her phone out of her bag, and handed it to Jiang Xintong, her expression cold.

"Call Ah Xian and explain."

Jiang Xintong instantly understood her mother's meaning. She wiped away her tears, quickly composed herself, and dialed Yu Jinxian's number.

The call was answered quickly, and his magnetic, pleasant voice came through.

"Xintong, I just arrived at the airport. Did you get a picture of the medicine?"

"Brother Jinxian, please come here for a moment..." Jiang Xintong choked out.

Auction hall.

Classical soft music plays softly as an auction of red Ganoderma lucidum made of linden wood takes place.

Yu Jinzhao sat in her seat, while Bo Sibai sat beside her.

The two did not speak, but there was an inexplicable sense of harmony between them, as if they were a family.

The guests appeared calm on the surface, but their hearts were in turmoil.

Young Master Bo's advances towards Miss Yu couldn't be more obvious. He actually sat next to her. Could it be that he's taken a liking to her?

With that in mind, when the linden wood red lingzhi started bidding at five million, the entire room fell silent. Everyone knew that Yu Jinzhao wanted it, so they wisely refrained from bidding against her.

So Yu Jinzhao won the bid for 5.01 million.

Finally got it!

She breathed a sigh of relief, a slight smile curving her lips. She turned her head to look at Bo Sibai and said softly, "Young Master Bo, thank you."

If Bo Sibai hadn't been sitting next to her, she wouldn't have been able to get the medicine so easily.

We were prepared to suffer a huge loss, but this is a real bargain!

Bo Sibai glanced at her and saw that her eyes were bright under the light and looked very sincere. He couldn't help but smile slightly.

He has a gentle and refined appearance, like snow on a high mountain. One glance is enough to amaze you, and when he smiles, it's like a spring breeze, able to soothe the years and smooth the rings of time.

For a moment, she was completely absorbed in watching.

She finally understood why she felt Bo Sibai was very approachable and why she had that bittersweet feeling of closeness to him.

Because he looks a lot like her brother.

Before her grandmother's accident, her brother was just as gentle and kind, just like Bo Sibai.
