“Her family runs a department store. They don’t even do their offline business properly now. I guess they really can’t take out anything. They’re here to mess things up. How unlucky.”

“I reckon the richest person in their family is Jiang Youtian. Celebrities should earn a lot! The rest of them are probably very poor.”

Jiang Youyi’s actions even made these socialites feel that attending this banquet was very embarrassing. Being with her seemed to be very unlucky, and they began to criticize her. Although this seemed to be a joke, the host had already agreed to her, so the auction still began.

Xu Yuning: “I’ll pay 200,000.”

Xu Yuning was really willing to do anything for Jiang Youyi. As long as she was happy, he was willing to be this sucker.

Wu Chen raised his sign. “I’ll pay 500,000.”

Everyone was shocked. They did not expect someone to really buy it and offer such a high price. When Wu Yan saw Wu Chen raise his card, she quickly looked at her brother. “Chen, stop fooling around.”

“I’m just playing around!” Wu Chen seemed very relaxed. He had yet to put down his raised hand!

“A broken phone cover is worth 500,000 yuan. Are you crazy?” Wu Yan was obviously unhappy.

Wu Chen didn’t care too much and just raised the sign. Xu Yuning’s face darkened as he looked at Wu Chen. “I bid 550,000.”

The two most respected families in Ocean City had started bidding. The other tycoons followed suit and seemed to find it interesting. It was like giving gifts to the streamer. Rich people wanted to be at the top of the list for the sake of their reputation.

Jiang Youyi had a good mentality and felt that it was very normal. She seemed to have predicted the current scene. Then, she looked at the host arrogantly. “I already said that as long as everyone gives a little love, the world will become a beautiful world.”

When the host heard this, he quickly lowered his head to ease his embarrassment.

“One million!” Lu Yunxiao finally made a move, and he spent a lot of money.

Bai Bing looked at Lu Yunxiao and felt very sad. She did not expect Lu Yunxiao to spoil Jiang Youyi like this. When Jiang Youyi saw Lu Yunxiao make a move, she was overjoyed and waved at him in satisfaction.

Previously, Jiang Youyi had been in a scandal with Lu Yunxiao. Now that Lu Yunxiao was so generous, Xu Yuning was very indignant.

“1.2 million!” Xu Yuning raised his card again.

“Is a lousy phone cover worth being fought over by the three most respected families in Ocean City? Don’t tell me Jiang Youyi has evil spirits on her?” Someone began to criticize mercilessly.

Wu Chen didn’t back down. “1.5 million.”

Xu Yuning: “1.8 million.” He seemed to be going all out.

Lu Yunxiao said directly, “2.6 million.”

At that moment, Wu Yan was furious. “Chen, stop shouting. She has already surpassed me and is in first place. If you continue to bid, won’t the price be even higher?”

Wu Chen didn’t seem to care. “Didn’t you see that Lu Yunxiao has already offered 2.6 million? The first place doesn’t belong to our family anymore. Regardless of whether I make a move or not, the outcome is set.”

Wu Yan was stunned by Wu Chen’s words. She didn’t understand why her brother was doing this, nor did she understand why Lu Yunxiao was joining the fun.

Xu Yuning thought about the scandal between Jiang Youyi and Lu Yunxiao these few days. Now, seeing Lu Yunxiao being so generous to Jiang Youyi, he felt even worse. Feeling that he was about to die of anger, he raised his sign high and shouted, “Three million.”

Lu Yunxiao was amused. Then, he sat down in his seat, threw the sign to the side, and rubbed his hands. Wu Chen saw that Lu Yunxiao had thrown away his sign, so did he.

Xu Yuning was stunned. Suddenly, Lu Yunxiao and Wu Chen stopped raising their signs. The auctioneer seemed to have been electrocuted just now and instantly regained his rationality.

“Three million going once, three million going twice, three million going thrice… Sold! Congratulations, Mr. Xu Yuning, for bidding for Miss Jiang Youyi’s phone case at three million.”

Xu Yuning suddenly felt a headache coming on. Why did they stop? Weren’t they competing very fiercely just now? Why did they suddenly stop?

Lu Yunxiao was still rubbing his hands. Wu Chen also smiled evilly.

Wang Jiangbei could not help but exclaim, “You’re so ruthless!”

Now, Xu Yuning has become the biggest spendthrift. He had bought a broken phone case for three million yuan.

“Awesome!” Lin Feng felt much better. He was the happiest to see Xu Yuning suffer.

The host was stunned for a moment before announcing that the first place today was Jiang Youyi, Miss Jiang.

According to the previous agreement, the first place could meet Secretary Li and Mrs. Li alone. At this moment, Mrs. Li had already walked onto the stage and gently held Jiang Youyi’s hand..
