"This is a masterpiece from Master Fuluo, a fine Buddhist figure jade pendant, exquisitely carved, and a proud work of Master Fuluo—"

Miss Qipao began to smile and explain about this jade pendant.

Ye Qingfeng’s eyes slightly brightened. He didn’t expect to find such a jade pendant here; he wasn’t interested in the craftsmanship but because he could refine it into a magic artifact.

"One million."

"One million one hundred thousand!"

"One million three hundred thousand!"

"..."

Soon, bids started coming in. The carving of this jade pendant was indeed impressive, and the material was crystal clear, attracting many wealthy bidders.

Shu Qin’er and Shu Daonan were still waiting for Ye Qingfeng’s answer. As long as Ye Qingfeng could say which club he saved Shu Qin’er at, they could confirm it was really Ye Qingfeng who saved her.

"Two million!"

Ye Qingfeng couldn’t be bothered to deal with this father and daughter pair and directly shouted out his bid.

Shu Qin’er and Shu Daonan were stunned, not expecting Ye Qingfeng to completely ignore them and start bidding on a jade item instead.

And he called out a price of two million!

Shu Daonan’s heart was stirred. He recalled he had promised Ye Qingfeng to gift him an auction item. Could it be that he wants this jade pendant as the gift?

"So, since I agreed to give it to him, that’s why he raised the bid so much?"

Shu Daonan thought with doubt in his heart. Though he could afford two million, being outbid so casually by this young man made him uncomfortable.

Moreover, Jingrun Pharmaceutical was currently under pressure, and it was a time when the company needed money.

"Forget it. I’ll have to postpone my daughter’s graduation gift. As long as this man really saved Qin’er, spending two million is justified."

Shu Daonan thought helplessly to himself.

At this moment, as Ye Qingfeng raised the price directly to two million, the other attendees at the auction were also stunned. The value of this jade pendant should be above one million.

Two million was slightly overpriced. And since Ye Qingfeng increased the bid so quickly, everyone lost interest.

"Two million once."

"Two million twice."

The auctioneer in the red qipao appeared a bit disappointed. If the price had been increased gradually, with her ability, the jade pendant might have gone for an even higher price.

Now this young man’s sudden jump to two million left everyone intimidated, and no one dared to bid higher.

"Two million one hundred thousand."

Then, a voice sounded, and Shu Qin’er and Shu Daonan looked over. It was that chubby Jia Pao from before.

He glanced provocatively, a trace of a cold smile on his plump face.

This price was a bit high to purchase it, but with his status, losing tens of thousands wasn’t a big deal.

"Yes, Brother Pao, we can’t let them go, a mere kid dares to compete with you," the heavily made-up woman clinging to Jia Pao’s body said coquettishly.

"Just a little brat, he’s definitely bidding for Shu Daonan. I want to see how Shu Daonan, whose company is in trouble, competes with me."

Jia Pao sneered.

"Little brother, this Jia Pao is deliberately targeting us. Why don’t you give up on this jade pendant now, and I’ll give you another jade pendant worth two million later."

Shu Daonan spoke.

Though two million wasn’t a small amount for Shu Daonan now, considering his company’s difficulties, as long as Ye Qingfeng was his daughter’s savior, he was willing to pay.

But he simply didn’t have the means to compete with Jia Pao anymore.

"Three million!"

Ye Qingfeng ignored Shu Daonan and shouted directly.

"Three million? Someone actually spent three million on this jade pendant, what a waste!"

"Exactly, the pendant’s value is at most two million; three million means a loss of at least a million!"

Suddenly, there was an uproar in the auction house, with people turning their heads to look at Ye Qingfeng, wanting to know who was so wealthy.

On stage, Miss Qipao was stunned, and then rejoiced. Three million meant the pendant was hugely overpriced.

Exceeding by at least one million, the auction house would earn enormous profits, and she herself would get a generous bonus.

"This young man is truly wealthy, directly increasing the bid by one million."

Miss Qipao thought to herself, somewhat surprised, given this jade pendant started at only one million.

"Brother Pao, should we still buy it?" the heavily made-up woman said, somewhat dumbfounded.

"Stop buying crap." Jia Pao’s expression changed immediately and snorted coldly. "If they’re willing to be the fool, let them. I’ll see how Shu Daonan’s company holds up!"

Here, Shu Daonan and Shu Qin’er exchanged a helpless glance, not expecting Ye Qingfeng to call out three million directly.

That was a huge loss.

Shu Qin’er was furious inside. Even though her father promised to gift it to him, he shouldn’t spend so recklessly!

"Forget it, if little brother Ye Qingfeng likes it, then three million it is. After all, he did save you, right?" Shu Daonan waved his hand, stopping Shu Qin’er from speaking.

For his daughter’s sake, even if it was three million, he accepted.

Though he implied, the precondition was that it was indeed Ye Qingfeng who saved Shu Qin’er.

No one raised the bid anymore, and soon, the hammer fell, and the jade pendant was secured by Ye Qingfeng for three million.

Ye Qingfeng couldn’t be bothered with Shu Daonan. A mere three million was nothing to him. His eyes were fixed on the stage below; what he valued most was that piece of stone.

Seeing Ye Qingfeng’s demeanor, Shu Qin’er suddenly felt a surge of anger. This guy’s expression was too nonchalant.

That was three million, not a small sum.

Even if it turned out Ye Qingfeng did save her, he shouldn’t act like this.

Her father gifted him a jade pendant worth three million, yet he remained indifferent.

Moreover, something valued at most two million, he directly bid three million just because her father gifted it to him; that was too much!

"Ye Qingfeng, you haven’t answered me, where exactly did you save me?" Shu Qin’er asked again.

This was key. If Ye Qingfeng really saved her, then even if he wanted three million, they would accept it.

But if he didn’t save her, then—

"Stop it!"

Ye Qingfeng furrowed his brows, speaking impatiently.

He wasn’t in the mood to argue slowly with Shu Qin’er; he wasn’t here for her gratitude, nor did he care to prove anything.

If not for Shu Qin’er having tickets to the auction, saving Ye Qingfeng some trouble, he wouldn’t have bothered with her at all.

Shu Qin’er was speechless. He had just bought something for three million and now told her to stop making a fuss.
