She goes crazy, he'll cover for her; the darling of the group is someone no one dares to mess w

The two's furtive little actions might fool others, but they couldn't fool Zhou Yufan, who was standing right next to Fang Li.

Watching the two whispering to each other, Zhou Yufan's long eyebrows furrowed even more tightly.

...Is this something he can hear?

Did he miss something?!

Zhou Yufan couldn't hide his surprise as he looked at the two of them, especially noticing the blush on Fang Li's ears and the unintentional look of shame and indignation. He had a sudden realization.

While everyone was speculating about the relationship between the two, Han Xi glanced at the stunned host on stage and said calmly, "Shall we continue?"

The host snapped back to reality, his hand trembling as he held the microphone. He glanced at the hostess, who was also shaking as she held the tray, and quickly said, "I declare that this emerald necklace belongs to this... Mr. One Hundred Million!"

The entire audience gasped, followed by thunderous applause.

One hundred million is undoubtedly the highest price tonight!

Many upstart businessmen are already getting restless and eager to get to know this young tycoon.

Yu Wei, however, turned pale and abruptly turned her head to look at the handsome man when she heard the host's words.

Just then, she saw him looking down at Fang Li beside him with tender eyes.

Yu Wei's head buzzed, and her body swayed involuntarily.

One hundred million...one hundred million!

She suddenly looked up at the stiff, ashen-faced man beside her, a mix of inferiority, jealousy, and resentment welling up inside her.

why?

What makes Xu Fangli so special?!

She's clearly inferior to her in every way!

Why are there always men willing to sacrifice themselves for her?

First it was Song Yuchen, then it was that mysterious tycoon who helped her pay the exorbitant breach of contract fee, and now it's this man!

She went to great lengths to steal Song Yuchen away, and watched her slink away after terminating the contract. She thought she could completely crush her into the mud.

Unexpectedly...

Yu Wei gripped her skirt tightly, looking at the man beside Fang Li, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.

Although she didn't know the man's identity or why he would spend 100 million to steal her necklace, she had a premonition.

This man's status is perhaps far beyond what the Yu family can compare to.

And that necklace...

Looking past the man's sharply defined profile, she stared fiercely at Fang Li, desperately suppressing the resentment that was about to explode in her chest, her clenched fingers digging deeply into her palms.

Soon, the host announced that the auction would continue.

After selling an exorbitantly priced necklace, the subsequent items suddenly seemed less impressive.

Several items, mostly small items worth tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of yuan, were sold off without any competition, and were eventually returned to their original owners.

The people in the hall gradually lost interest in the auction and began to whisper among themselves, speculating about Han Xi's identity.

When the diamond ring with the local pear was brought out, the name "Han" could already be faintly heard from the crowd.

"The next item in the auction is a twelve-carat diamond ring. The D-color loose stone has been perfectly cut into a heart shape and set in..."

The more the host talked, the more Fang Li shrank back.

Especially when she felt those two gazes that seemed to pierce through her head, her eyes trembled, and she couldn't help but want to hide behind Zhou Yufan.

Unfortunately, she had barely moved her toes when Zhou Yufan suddenly took a large step to the side, leaving her standing with Yu Tian.

Fang Li gritted her teeth and cursed Zhou Yufan in her heart.

She even called him "senior" repeatedly; how could she be so disloyal!

"you......."

"I know what you're going to say, this wasn't my intention, I was wrong, I'll film it again!"

Han Xi had just begun to speak when Fang Li interrupted him.

He paused for a moment, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes. "That's not what I meant."

Upon hearing this, Fang Li looked up in a daze.

The man looked at her intently and asked in a low voice, "I was trying to say, do you not like that ring?"

Fang Li: "......Oh."

She responded blankly, then realized something was amiss and quickly said, "It's not that I don't like it, I just forgot to prepare the things for the donation, and someone took them."

Han Xi then remembered that Lin Mo had mentioned his wife was having some trouble when he arrived.

My fingers look like they've been scratched.

He frowned slightly, then immediately took her left hand and examined it closely.

Sure enough, there was a faint red mark on the ring finger, with several broken skins oozing a little blood, which had already scabbed over.

"Who did it?"

Hearing the barely suppressed coldness in his voice, Fang Li glanced around awkwardly, pulled her hand away with a bit of force, and whispered, "What did that woman who was staring at you like a lovesick fool want?"

Han Xi's expression was cold and stern, his eyes dark and gloomy, as he gently raised his hand.

The next moment, Lin Mo suddenly appeared.

"go......"

"Don't!"

Fang Li suddenly grabbed his hand, her heart skipped a beat.

She was just being sarcastic to see how he would react, but she didn't expect him to summon Lin Mo directly.

What is he going to do?

Are you planning to make a move here?!

Meeting the man's questioning gaze, Fang Li's answer instantly became certain.

This man seems to be fearless.

Feeling a warm glow in her heart, she couldn't help but smile. She turned her head and nodded to Lin Mo behind her, signaling him to step back first.

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow, glanced at his boss, and obediently disappeared into the crowd.

Fang Li breathed a sigh of relief and stopped, saying, "Don't worry about this little thing, I'll handle it myself."

She heard someone offer 20 million to bid for her diamond ring.

Seeing the man staring at her intently without moving, Fang Li composed herself and directly raised her paddle: "Thirty million!"

really.

The man, who had been slightly displeased just a moment ago, instantly changed his aura, looking at her with a gentle relaxation between his brows and a slight movement of his lips.

Host: "This lady has offered 30 million. Is there anyone else bidding?"

谁敢加价？

A tycoon who casually offers a hundred million is standing there; even if you're willing, you have to consider how many rounds you can withstand.

However, just because most people think this way doesn't mean everyone thinks this way.

There are always one or two exceptions, like Yu Wei, who is seething with anger, and Jiang Shiyi, who is waiting to see Fang Li make a fool of herself.

"Sister Wei, Fang Li's diamond ring must be fake! Let's take pictures. As long as we get the pictures, we can expose her for donating a fake item on the spot and see how she explains it to everyone!"

Jiang Shiyi had secretly slipped back to Yu Wei's side at some point and was whispering to her with a resentful expression.

Yu Wei frowned and looked at her: "Are you sure?"

At first, Jiang Shiyi was certain, but now she's a little unsure.

Yu Wei understood everything. With an unhappy expression, she said, "Stop coming up with such lousy ideas. Do you think something worth tens of millions is worth a few hundred dollars!"

"But... are we just going to watch her be so smug!" Jiang Shiyi looked at Fang Li with a face full of jealousy and hatred, and her gaze couldn't help but shift to Han Xi next to her.

A deep infatuation flashed in her eyes, and she bit her lip, saying, "I think she was determined to have it from the start. She must care a lot about that ring. It might even have been given to her by that old man behind her. If she loses it, she won't be able to explain it when she goes back. Are we going to miss such a good opportunity?!"
