The gigolo kept by the matriarch turned out to be the heir to a wealthy family.

Chapter 22 Auction

During the ten days they waited for the auction to begin, Yun Yao and Su Yuchen tacitly avoided contacting each other.

Yun Yao spent her days eating, drinking, having fun, and passing the time.

Su Yuchen, on the other hand, buried himself in documents every day, like a work machine devoid of emotion.

Before they knew it, the day of the auction had arrived.

Yun Yao chose a black tracksuit today, with her hair tied up high, making her look capable and refreshing.

Yun Zhengfeng had been waiting downstairs for a long time. When he saw Yun Yao come down, he hurriedly went to greet her.

"Yun Yao, I brought fifty million with me today. If there's anything you like, let's bid on it!"

Fifty million?

For an auction that can auction such a priceless treasure as a jade pendant, fifty million is simply not enough!

However, Yun Yao did not tell Yun Zhengfeng these things.

The fact that Yun Zhengfeng was willing to please her proves that he was sincere towards her.

Yun Yao would naturally not treat him unfairly.

"Let's go."

……

The auction was held at the Honghao Hotel.

The name is impressive, and it truly lives up to its name.

Its magnificent exterior resembles a golden palace built at great expense, and the interior is even more luxurious, filled with luxury items, with even a single floorboard worth hundreds of thousands.

Those who spend money here are either rich or powerful.

Many social celebrities also frequently hold their grand banquets here.

In the southern part of the city, there is an unspoken rule: if you can successfully host a banquet at Honghao, it means you have a pass to high society.

The scale of today's banquet shows that the organizers of MY not only intend to obtain tickets to the South City event, but also covet the wealthy and powerful families.

……

The red carpet in front of the hotel stretched for dozens of meters, with flashing lights dazzling the eye.

Tonight, the stars are shining brightly, and dignitaries from all walks of life have gathered. Even second- or third-rate families consider it an honor to attend this grand event.

The banquet had just begun, and the identities of the guests were already enough to attract attention, not to mention the key figures at the end.

"Look! Actor Bei Yao!" a female reporter exclaimed excitedly, her eyes sparkling with a rosy glow.

Bei Yao walked towards the camera wearing a royal blue suit, with chestnut short hair, delicate features, and a gentle and refined demeanor that moved all the women in the room.

Bei Yao shook his head slightly, a smile playing on his lips, and pressed his index finger to his lips, signaling everyone to be quiet.

Instantly, the once noisy venue fell silent.

This is the charm of a movie star. At only 27 years old, he has won numerous domestic awards, and this year he has also won several international awards.

With such outstanding and hardworking talent, coupled with a face that exudes an aura of peace and prosperity, it's hard not to become famous.

The families that followed were mostly unknown second- or third-rate families, which naturally had less appeal.

Reporters also judge people by their appearance. They only pause briefly when they encounter a woman with outstanding looks, quickly press the shutter, and get it over with.

Yun Jianghai was also on MY's invitation list today. Looking at the magnificent scene in front of the Honghao Hotel, his excitement was palpable.

He slowly stepped out of the car with Qiao Lan and Yun Xinru, and the moment they stepped onto the red carpet, it caused a series of gasps. "Yun Xinru! It's Yun Xinru from the Yun family!" someone shouted from the crowd.

Many eyes turned to Yun Jianghai's family, but after only a quick glance, they were immediately drawn to Yun Xinru in the center.

"Yun Xinru is truly a goddess descended to earth today!" the reporters couldn't help but exclaim, their camera shutters clicking incessantly.

In this grand event, only this woman from a second-rate family enjoyed such treatment, all because of Yun Xinru.

Yun Jianghai and Qiao Lan felt the focus of the camera and the envious gazes of the crowd, their hearts filled with satisfaction, and even their backs seemed to straighten up more.

Yun Xinru waved gracefully to the camera, displaying her poise and generosity to the fullest.

After a careful makeover, Yun Xinru was even more radiant.

However, before Yun Jianghai and his family could fully enjoy this honor, they noticed that the reporters in the audience suddenly began to stir and then rushed towards them.

The family of three looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion, but they quickly solved the mystery...

"Hiss—" With a soft but clear inhale, the atmosphere in the entire venue seemed to freeze instantly.

"I...I think I saw a fairy." A slightly trembling voice suddenly broke the silence.

The reporters at the scene stopped what they were doing and looked up at the source of the sound. Their eyes were filled with surprise and curiosity.

Then, they froze.

"I think I saw it too." A female reporter couldn't even believe her eyes. She rubbed her eyes and stared ahead again.

Wherever their eyes fell, they saw a woman wearing black stiletto heels and a black fitted sportswear outfit that perfectly accentuated her graceful figure.

Hello everyone! I'm Yun Yao!

Yun Yao waved at the camera and smiled gently.

Her temperament was as pure as a light cloud veiling the moon, and as ethereal as a swirling breeze and drifting snow.

"This is... Miss Yun from the Yun family, who's in a vegetative state!" An experienced reporter suddenly recognized Yun Yao.

Immediately afterwards, the reporters at the scene began frantically searching for their camera equipment and recorders.

Yun Yao's beauty is the kind that is rarely seen in the human world; only by seeing her in person can one feel the awe she evokes.

Every movement and every smile of hers is captivating, making it impossible to look away.

Yun Xinru was so jealous of Yun Yao, who was being fawned over by everyone, that her newly done manicure was embedded in her palm.

"Dad, didn't you say only we had invitations? Why is Yun Yao here too?"

Yun Jianghai's gaze fell on Yun Zhengfeng.

"Your grandfather has always favored Yun Yao. It must have been Yun Yao who insisted on coming, and he went to great lengths to get the invitation!"

Upon hearing Yun Jianghai's words, Qiao Lan, who was standing nearby, quickly echoed his sentiment.

"That must be it, otherwise why would an auction of this caliber invite someone so low-class!"

Yun Xinru felt a pang of unease as she watched Yun Yao move effortlessly under the flashing lights.

Qiao Lan was afraid that her precious daughter would be wronged, so she hurriedly said.

"Xinru, there are many great things at today's auction. If you see anything you like, be sure to tell Mom!"

"No matter how much it costs, Mom and Dad will take a picture of it for you!"

Yun Xinru nodded obediently.

Qiao Lan seemed to know what Yun Xinru was thinking and whispered, "Even if your grandfather brings that little bitch Yun Yao, it won't make a difference. He doesn't have much money at all!"

"They can only watch these treasures at the auction with longing eyes!"

"This good stuff can only be yours!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Xinru finally smiled.

"My mom is still the best to me."

Qiao Lan patted Yun Xinru's hand with satisfaction.

"Let's go, the auction is about to begin."
