Chapter 137: Zhong Yuyiran's plan

Chapter 137 Zhong Yuyiran's plan

"400 million!" Ye Leng'an directly raised the price again.

The only one who is still arguing with her now is Zhong Yuyiran. That's why she directly raised the price, intending to make a quick decision. Moreover, judging by Zhong Yuyiran's appearance, it seemed that she was about to reach her limit.

At this moment, after hearing Ye Leng'an's bidding price, Zhong Yuyiran's face became even more gloomy. She continued to raise her hand and raised her price by one million.

Now the price has risen to 400 million, and it will soon reach the bottom line of the price she can afford. If this continues, then the last Seven Star Flower, I'm afraid she really won't be able to take it down.

Thinking of these, she felt a pain in her chest, and even had difficulty breathing.

Li Yi on the side noticed that Zhong Yuyiran's complexion was not very good, and quickly comforted him, "Miss Yiran, don't worry, your body is important. You can't fluctuate too much now, it is not conducive to your physical recovery."

"I'm fine." Zhong Yuyiran took a deep breath, trying to calm down, "Li Yi, I have no other choice now. If I can't take pictures of the seven-star flower, then Min'er won't help me get the elixir for my body. If this is the case, will I continue to live with this crippled body in the future?"

Although she seemed to be weaker on the surface, only she knew exactly how her body had deteriorated. In the past, she could travel everywhere, but she was doing all kinds of things she liked. But, now! She has almost become like Lin Daiyu, even if she walks a few more steps, she will feel a little out of breath.

Now that she has such a body, let alone whether she is worthy of Huangfu Ruiling. I'm afraid that if Auntie finds out, it will be impossible for her to stand by Huangfu Ruiling's side in the future.

Although she used her aunt to deal with Ye Leng'an, she knew it very well. If she couldn't take care of her body, then Auntie would not allow her to appear beside Huangfu Ruiling either.

Looking at the stubborn Zhong Yuyiran, Li Yi didn't know what to say.

As time passed, the bidding between Ye Leng'an and Zhong Yuyiran became more and more intense.

Finally, Zhong Yuyiran also called out her bottom line, "430 million!"

After calling out the price, she closed her eyes, as if she was waiting for the verdict. This is already her bottom line, if the price is too high, she will not be able to bear it. If Ye Leng'an continues to increase the price, then she may really pass by the Seven Star Flower.

However, it is clear that God is not on her side.

Not long after Zhong Yuyiran's voice fell, Ye Leng'an raised the price again, "435 million!"

When Ye Leng'an's voice sounded again, Zhong Yuyiran closed her eyes in despair. Because the price was out of her range.

Following Zhong Yuyiran's silence, the auctioneer finally shouted, "435 million times!"

"435 million times twice!"

Following the auctioneer's voice, Zhong Yuyiran opened her eyes, a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes, and then she directly asked the price, "450 million!"

"Miss Yiran!" Li Yi exclaimed, "Your budget is not that high at all. This auction requires payment immediately, and if you fail to pay, you will be held accountable."

He came here with Zhong Yuyiran, so he naturally knew exactly where Zhong Yuyiran's bottom line was. Now that Zhong Yuyiran has called out such a high price, if she can't pay the money at that time, it's not a joke.

"I know." Zhong Yuyiran's eyes were full of gloom, and a cold smile appeared on his face, "Don't worry, haven't you seen it yet? This seven-star flower, Ye Leng Anzhi is sure to get it, so she will definitely increase the price."

Although she can't get the seven-star flower now. But she is not willing to let Ye Leng'an get the Seven Star Flower so easily, since Ye Leng'an is determined to get it, let her spend more money.

Hearing Zhong Yuyiran's words, Li Yi couldn't help frowning, "Miss Yiran, isn't it good to do this? Besides, if the master finds out, I'm afraid he will be angry."

What is important now is not Ye Leng'an, but the master. Although Ye Leng'an was the one calling for the price, the person behind this is the master! Ms. Yiran might be out of breath, otherwise she wouldn't even have thought of such a thing.

Sure enough, after hearing Li Yi's words, a trace of remorse flashed in Zhong Yuyiran's eyes. Obviously, she didn't think of this just now, the only thing she thought of was how to add trouble to Ye Leng'an.

Ye Leng'an on the other side didn't notice anything wrong, but continued to ask for an increase of 10 million.

I don't know if it was because I figured it out, or because of guilty conscience, Zhong Yuyiran didn't raise the price anymore.

Finally, the Seven Star Flower was sold at a price of 460 million US dollars. For such a transaction price, most of the guests present were shocked. Who would have thought that this spiritual plant could be auctioned for such a high price. This is the auction item with the highest auction price since the auction started tonight.

At this moment, Ye Xiyuan, who was in another box, was even more shocked. She naturally knew who the person who took the picture of the Seven Star Flower was, what shocked her was how Ye Leng'an would spend such a huge price to take a picture of a plant! However, thinking that the person behind Ye Leng'an is Huangfu Ruiling, I feel that all this seems to be taken for granted.

However, after thinking everything through, the jealousy in her heart couldn't help surging again. She didn't understand what was so good about Ye Leng'an that he could make the young master Huangfu spend a lot of money on her, and bought a flower at a price of 460 million U.S. dollars. Even if it is Lingzhi, it is not worth such a high price!

When the seven-star flower was delivered to the box, Ye Leng'an's eyes lit up immediately, and all eyes fell on the seven-star flower.

Huangfu Ruiling, who was watching from the side, was a little jealous of the flower, but he didn't let Ye Leng'an notice it, but said calmly, "Should I ask Li San to send the flower back to the castle first?"

After thinking for a while, Ye Leng'an said, "Otherwise, I'll go back together. Anyway, there are no more items I want in the next auction, and it's useless to stay here."

Actually, if possible, she would like to put the Seven Star Flower into her portable cave space right now. However, Huangfu Ruiling and Li San are both here, so it's not easy for her to do this. Although she felt that she was special to Huangfu Ruiling, she still didn't understand her feelings. Therefore, in front of Huangfu Ruiling, she still had some reservations.

If Li San was asked to bring Qixinghua back alone, she would not be at ease. Therefore, the best way is for her to go back with her. Anyway, the auction was coming to an end, and she was not interested in the so-called finale auction items, so it was okay to go back at this time.

After hearing Ye Leng'an's words, Huangfu Ruiling's eyes darkened, then he nodded and said, "In this case, let's go back together!"

"Are you going back too?" Ye Leng'an was a little surprised, "Did you stop looking at the next auction items?"

"I'm not interested." Huangfu Ruiling said lightly, "So let's go back together!"

Huangfu Ruiling has already said this, Ye Leng'an naturally won't refuse. After all, she is just a car ride.

So, the two left quickly. Just like when they came, the departure of the two did not alarm others. Now everyone's attention is still on the auction.

"Miss Yiran, the master and Miss Ye have already left, and they probably have gone back."

Li Yi was originally instructed by Zhong Yuyiran to see if the Seven Star Flower had been delivered to Ye Leng'an. Unexpectedly, he could actually see the backs of Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng'an leaving. Therefore, he immediately returned to the box and reported to Zhong Yuyiran.

After hearing Li Yi's words, Zhong Yuyiran immediately made a decision, "Then let's go back now."

At this moment, in a hotel in Paris—

Ye Li and Chen Wanqin are enjoying their dinner. Although they are already old couples, they are still willing to enjoy the world of two together at this rare time.

Ye Li seemed to be in a good mood, not for anything else but because of Ye Xiyuan who was participating in the auction right now.

That auction, in fact, if possible, he also wants to go in and see it. It's a pity that he used a lot of contacts, but he still couldn't get the invitation letter. Of course, he also wanted to ask the young master Nangong. However, due to the subsequent impact of the birthday party, the company's performance has deteriorated a lot. Fortunately, the young master of Nangong made a move to recover the loss, and also made a fortune. Therefore, he was too embarrassed to speak.

It's just, I didn't expect that Young Master Nangong would invite Xiyuan to the auction. Therefore, he decided on the spur of the moment that the whole family will travel to Paris for the New Year.

Besides, compared to going to the auction himself, Xiyuan was able to attend the auction with Young Master Nangong, which made him even more happy. Because, this means that the relationship between Xiyuan and Young Master Nangong has taken a step further.

The haze caused by the birthday party before has all disappeared at this moment. At this moment, he finally has a good mood and is going to celebrate the New Year abroad with his family.

After dinner, Ye Li and Chen Wanqin did not leave immediately, but continued to chat there.

"I don't know how Xiyuan is doing now?" Chen Wanqin was a little worried, "This is the first time she has participated in such an auction, so I don't know if Xiyuan is used to it."

"You just have to put your mind at it." Ye Li picked up the red wine, took a sip, and said in a comfortable mood, "Young Master Nangong is taking care of her! There won't be any problems. However, this is a top-level auction. It is said that every auction item in it can fetch sky-high prices in the end. If there is a chance, I really want to see it!"

"There will be a chance." Chen Wanqin said with a smile, "This time, let Xiyuan help you to see it first! Speaking of which, Xiyuan, the daughter, should not worry! That child, An Yun, doesn't know what's going on, but he didn't want to fly over to join us until tomorrow. How nice it was to come here together in the first place!"

"Okay, isn't he temporarily busy at school?" Ye Li didn't care too much, "He is already so old, and he has already participated in the operation of the company. He is not a child anymore, so you still worry about him!"

He is still very proud of this son. Although he is only a college student, he is already studying the company's affairs with him. Moreover, he probably inherited his talent for doing business. In this regard, the son is still quite good.

"I don't know what's going on at school," Chen Wanqin still couldn't help complaining, "It's almost Chinese New Year, and I still have to call people back."

"You can just talk about these things here." Ye Li warned, "When An Yun comes tomorrow, don't complain about him. Don't make him unhappy when it's Chinese New Year."

"Understood." Chen Wanqin nodded.

At this time, Ye Li's phone rang suddenly, and when he picked up the phone, after hearing the report from the person over there, his face that was still smiling was now full of gloom.

Chen Wanqin on the opposite side saw it, and couldn't help feeling nervous. Although she didn't know what happened, it was obviously not a good thing. Moreover, she vaguely heard An Yun's name. What she is most worried about now is whether something happened to An Yun in China.

Not long after, Ye Li hung up the phone, his face was gloomy, and the storm in his eyes showed that he was not in a good mood at the moment.

"Husband, what happened?" After Ye Li hung up the phone, Chen Wanqin immediately asked anxiously, "Did something happen to An Yun? Is he okay now?"

"Hmph, what can he do?" Ye Li no longer looked like he was defending Ye Anyun just now. He said in a cold voice, "He is very good! He has learned to lie now, and actually lied to us that there is something wrong with the school, so he came late. Now there is something wrong, and they are all in the police station!"

If it wasn't because he entered the Public Security Bureau and needed to contact a lawyer from the company's legal department, he would have been kept in the dark until now! Sure enough, the wings were so hard that they dared to lie to him like this.

"What? Into the Public Security Bureau?" Upon hearing Ye Li's words, Chen Wanqin almost jumped up. She managed to suppress her uneasiness and continued to ask, "What happened to him? Why did he suddenly enter the Public Security Bureau? Also, how is he doing now? Is he still in the Public Security Bureau?"

"He's fine, the Ministry of Justice has sent a lawyer to bail him out." The expression on Ye Li's face was still not very good, "He should be home now."

After hearing Ye Li's answer, Chen Wanqin breathed a sigh of relief, "It's fine."

Since he was able to go home, he should not be injured, and it shouldn't be a big deal. I just don't know what happened to him, and they all went to the Public Security Bureau.

"He's fine, but he won't be able to come to Paris tomorrow." Ye Li said angrily, "He's breaking into a private house now, and he can't leave the imperial capital until the matter is over."

Although it is not a big deal, it is also restricted from leaving the country.

"Well, it seems that we are going back." Chen Wanqin couldn't help but sighed, "That's how I feel sorry for Xiyuan. Originally, I was so happy that I wanted to take her to travel abroad for the New Year, but now that the New Year is not good, I have to go back soon."

"Isn't there no way to do this?" Ye Li was also a little helpless, "Xiyuan will understand, she has always been a considerate girl. Besides, An Yun, we must go back and deal with it as soon as possible."

Chen Wanqin nodded, "Okay, I'll go back and pack my luggage now. I just don't know if I can book a ticket for tomorrow at this late hour."

"I'll ask the secretary to book the ticket later." Ye Li said, "As for Xiyuan, let's talk to her when she comes back!"

Ye Leng'an and Huangfu Ruiling also returned to the castle. When Ye Leng'an was in the car, he kept hugging the Seven Star Flower for fear of being damaged.

After returning to the old castle, she gave the Seven Star Flower to Butler Ford, and asked Ford Butler to take the Seven Star Flower back to her room first. Because it was a bit early to go to the auction, she just ate some snacks to pad her stomach. Now she is also a little hungry, and the chef just prepared a supper.

However, when the two of them were having supper, Zhong Yuyiran suddenly barged in. That's right, it broke in. Because just now, Huangfu Ruiling had issued an order not to let Zhong Yuyiran come to the main building again.

After returning to the ancient castle, Zhong Yuyiran came to the main building immediately. She wanted to find Ye Leng'an.

Now Ye Leng'an has photographed the Seven Star Flower, so she can only beg Ye Leng'an. Of course, she also knew very well that it was impossible for Ye Leng'an to give her the Seven Star Flower. So, the way she thinks of now is to hope that Ye Leng'an can give her a branch of the seven-star flower, and then she finds a way to find someone to transplant it to see if it can survive.

If it is really possible, then she has a way to exchange with Ye Miner. Of course, she wouldn't ask for it in vain. At that auction, she failed to bid for the Seven Star Flower, so the money was naturally not spent. She can give Ye Leng'an money, and Ye Leng'an also spent a lot of money to photograph the Seven Star Flower. What she did was beneficial to both parties.

It's just that, unexpectedly, after returning to the castle, she couldn't even enter the main building. She knew very well that if she didn't find Ye Leng'an as soon as possible, maybe Ye Leng'an would leave with Qixinghua at some point, and it would not be so easy for her to find someone. Moreover, after returning to China, there is still Auntie watching Ye Leng'an!

So, even though she knew it was Huangfu Ruiling's order, she didn't care about it and just broke in.

Seeing Zhong Yuyiran who suddenly barged in, Huangfu Ruiling's face darkened, looked at Ford at the side, and said coldly, "Your salary has been deducted this month."

It was not Ford's fault that he couldn't stop Zhong Yuyiran, but the servants knew about Zhong Yuyiran's relationship with his wife, so they didn't dare to take too strong measures. However, Ford is the steward of the castle, so he is also responsible for the mismanagement. As for what to do with the servants, Ford had already made up his mind.

"Brother Huangfu, this is not Ford's butler's fault." Zhong Yuyiran quickly explained, "I insisted on breaking in, and it has nothing to do with him."

She didn't expect that Huangfu Ruiling punished Butler Ford without saying anything. Such behavior was like an invisible slap slapped **** her face. Because, such a performance is already disdain to talk to her.

Besides, she didn't want to offend Steward Ford. Now that she is still living in the castle, offending Butler Ford, it is of no benefit to her.

Huangfu Ruiling didn't even glance at Zhong Yuyiran, as if he didn't have this person in his eyes at all, he just glanced at Ford lightly, "Are you dissatisfied?"

Ford quickly bent down, and said respectfully, "This is all the fault of the subordinates, and the young master's punishment is right."

Such behavior made Zhong Yuyiran's situation even more embarrassing.

However, even so, she did not leave, but looked at Ye Leng'an, forced a smile on her face, and said, "Miss Ye, I have something I want to talk to you about. Is it convenient for you?"

Ye Leng'an was a little surprised when her name was called suddenly, but she didn't immediately agree, "Sorry, it's not very convenient now."

Although she didn't know what Zhong Yuyiran was doing for, but she was not Zhong Yuyiran's mother, so there was no need to spoil her. She is still eating now! Therefore, she would not go hungry for Zhong Yuyiran.

Obviously, she didn't expect Ye Leng'an to refuse so cleanly. The smile on Zhong Yuyiran's face could hardly be maintained any longer. She continued, "Miss Ye, what I want to talk to you about is very important. I know, you don't have time now, but I can wait for you."

"Actually, what's your matter, why don't you just tell me!" Ye Leng'an also said bluntly, "It's getting late now, and I want to rest earlier. So, if your matter is really that important, then say it now!"

Although she said so, she felt that there should be nothing interesting between her and Zhong Yuyiran! Moreover, it is estimated that Zhong Yuyiran should hate her to death now! After all, Zhong Yuyiran tried her best to get this Seven Star Flower. Now it fell into her hands.

After hearing Ye Leng'an's words, Zhong Yuyiran's complexion was not very good. Obviously, she felt that for such an important matter, the two should sit down and discuss it. Instead of Ye Leng'an sitting there eating, she was standing here like a servant.

However, from Ye Leng'an's tone, she also heard that the other party seemed a little impatient. She understood that if she didn't speak now, Ye Leng'an might not give her another chance to speak out.
