When the old man heard Shangguan Ding’s words, he was a little helpless and said, “Young Master…”

Shangguan Ding didn’t care so much and said directly, “Go back and tell the old man that I’m very safe!”

Seeing how determined Shangguan Ding was, the old man could only say, “Yes, Young Master!”

Shangguan Ding continued, “By the way, don’t let me see the Shangguan family appear in Sea City in the future. I don’t like to be followed.”

The old man nodded.

Then, the old man left with his men.

The old man didn’t go far.

It was their duty to protect Shangguan Ding.

Seeing that everyone had walked away, Shangguan Ding looked around. Since there was no one else around, he turned around and entered the charity banquet.

When Shangguan Ding sat back in his chair, he saw that Jian Xing’er was actually dozing off, so he said in a low voice with a self-deprecating expression, “It’s only been a few years, but you actually forgot about me and still can’t recognize me.”

Jian Xing’er stretched and asked curiously, “What did you say?”

Shangguan Ding was stunned.

He didn’t expect Jian Xing’er to wake up.

Shangguan Ding took a deep breath and said indifferently, “A few years ago, I was hunted down and almost lost my life. Someone saved me and even took advantage of me, so I’ve been looking for this person to settle the score, but this person hid herself and even married another man.”

Jian Xing’er nodded calmly.

Seeing Jian Xing’er’s reaction, Shangguan Ding was a little helpless, but then he felt relieved.

When Shangguan Ding looked at Jian Xing’er again, he saw that she actually began to doze off again.

Helpless, Shangguan Ding took a sip of water and looked back at Hou Junlai from time to time.

Hou Junlai also realized that Shangguan Ding sized him up from time to time, so he only nodded and smiled with a hint of bitterness on his face.

An hour later.

More than 50 items had been auctioned off at astronomical prices.

Liu Xin’er didn’t bid for anything. She just deliberately raised the price every time to attract Zhang Jun’s attention.

Liu Xin’er’s method was very effective.

Zhang Jun didn’tice Liu Xin’er.

However, Zhang Jun ignored Liu Xin’er.

There were many people who wanted to curry favor with the Zhang family. Liu Xin’er’s method made Zhang Jun feel disdain.

Zhang Jun said calmly, “The auction begins now! The starting bid for the Longevity Jade is 100,000!”

In everyone’s eyes, this jade pendant was the least valuable item.

However, there were still people bidding.

Liu Xin’er was still the first to bid. She said directly, “500,000…”

After Liu Xin’er finished declaring the price, she didn’t forget to nod at Zhang Jun.

Zhang Jun ignored her.

After Liu Xin’er shouted the price, everyone gave up.

Everyone wanted to curry favor with the Zhang family, but they didn’t want to waste too much money on such a worthless thing.

In everyone’s eyes, the Longevity Jade was worthless.

At this moment, Jian Xing’er shouted, “600,000…”

Everyone immediately looked at Jian Xing’er and when they realized that it was her, their eyes were filled with mockery.

When Liu Xin’er saw that it was Jian Xing’er, she immediately mocked, “Jian Xing’er, a sugar baby like you actually dare to bid?”

Jian Xing’er said calmly, “What does my financial situation have to do with you?”

Liu Xin’er’s expression darkened as she sneered and said, “It’s indeed none of my business! But I can continue to increase the price!”

“One million…”

Since there was such an opportunity, Liu Xin’er naturally wouldn’t let it go. She had to mess with Jian Xing’er.

Jian Xing’er’s expression was calm as she continued to raise the price.

Jian Xing’er had come for the Longevity Jade this time. Of course, she wouldn’t give up so easily.

Liu Xin’er kept increasing the price.

Jian Xing’er didn’t back down either.

In less than three minutes, Liu Xin’er raised the price to 20 million.

At this moment, Liu Xin’er had already planned to give up if Jian Xing’er raised the price again.

A smile appeared on Jian Xing’er’s face.

She had already guessed Liu Xin’er’s intentions.

Jian Xing’er didn’t lack money. The Li family’s head had given her 100 million yuan and she still hadn’t used it yet.

Since Liu Xin’er dared to be so smug, Jian Xing’er wanted to teach her a lesson.

Jian Xing’er smiled and said, “I forfeit…”

Hearing Jian Xing’er’s words, Liu Xin’er was stunned.

Zhang Jun looked at Liu Xin’er and said, “Congratulations. This jade pendant is yours now!”

Liu Xin’er forced a smile and said, “Thank… thank you, Mr. Zhang…”

Liu Xin’er was filled with anger, but had nowhere to vent it.

Originally, she wanted to scheme against Jian Xing’er, but in the end, she shot herself in the foot.

Liu Xin’er didn’t bring much money to the charity banquet this time, so she could only secretly call her father and ask him to pay.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to explain it to Young Master Zhang later!
