"That's not necessary. She's probably being protected by Shi Jue's people. It's better not to alert the enemy. Also, I prefer ruining her reputation first."
A wide smile appeared on Xia Ningyan's lips as she thought about her plan.
"I really don't understand women. Wouldn't it be faster and more efficient to deal with an eyesore directly?"
"Are you going to help or not?" Xia Ningyan felt impatient.
"I'll help you, of course! Don't worry. I'll deal with her soon." Suddenly, the man changed the topic of their conversation, "We haven't seen each other in a long time. I've missed you so much. When are you free? Let's meet at the same place."
Xia Ningyan's eyes were filled with disgust after hearing the man's words. "I'm afraid I won't be able to meet you anytime soon. You know that Shi Jue isn't easy to deal with."
"Xia Ningyan, did you really put on a fake act with Shi Jue? Let me tell you, Xia Ningyan, you're mine! Don't ever think about running away from me!" Suddenly, the man's tone became vicious.
A sinister look flashed across Xia Ningyan's eyes. "Darling, don't worry. When this matter is over, I'll be with you."
"Okay." The man was satisfied with Xia Ningyan's answer. "Xia Ningyan, you have to remember that you will only have a good life once you're with me."
Xia Ningyan felt angry immediately after hanging up the phone.
Her beautiful and exquisite face was filled with malevolence. "I'll make you regret those words soon," she said through gritted teeth.
After a moment, Xia Ningyan started to calm down. She sat down and searched for videos of Xia Weiyang that were taken earlier.
Xia Weiyang had no idea that people were talking about her again online.
At that moment, she brought Shi Jue and her children into a private room.
The auction had already begun.
Xia Weiyang was busy playing with Du Du as Shi Jue participated in the auction.
She had no idea how many items Shi Jue and Dian Dian had already bought through the auction.
"The next item being auctioned is a piece of jade. It is a pure suet jade." The auctioneer on the stage was carrying an exquisite-looking box. He opened the box to show off the piece of jade inside it.
The products featured in the auction were all authentic.
There were very few genuine suet jades nowadays. Such a large piece of jade was rare for families to own. Instantly, the eyes of everyone in the auction lit up with excitement after seeing it.
Only one person inside the venue was not happy to see the item. That person was Lu Ziyin.
His gentle facial expression disappeared. His face was very gloomy as he stared at the jade pendant.
"Son, that pendant is our family's dowry. Your grandmother passed it to me. You were supposed to pass it to your daughter. It's our family's heirloom. So, son, you must bid for it at all costs," Xiang Wenyin, Lu Ziyin's mother, said.
Lu Ziyin's gaze fell on Shi Jue's private room. Since the auction began, Shi Jue had been outbidding him on his family's precious items.
Suddenly, bidding on the jade pendant started.
"I'll bid 100,000!"
"You have the nerve to bid 100,000? I'll bid 200,000!"
"500,000!"
...
Lu Ziyin's face darkened as he heard the bids of other people. Although his company was quite profitable, he could not afford to bid on expensive items. He would definitely go bankrupt of he tried to acquire all of his family's items.
Lu Ziyin's hatred towards Shi Jue grew.
