Chapter 33 - Youth Party:

Xiao Yang with his sister both arrived at the located party location, originally they were going to go to the party in a decent quality suit and dress, however they stopped by at an luxury clothing store on their way here.

Xiao Yang bought a expensive black suit and Xiao Mei bought a long light blue princess dress, Xiao Mei held her brother's arm as they walked through the red carpet that led to the main hall scattered with circular tables covered in white clothes.

"Brother Xiao Yang are you sure this dress isn't expensive? It doesn't look cheap to me"

"Remember, dad gave us the money for the charity donation not for the dress."

"Don't worry I didn't use dad's money"

Xiao Mei looked at him in disbelief even though he was telling the truth.

Everyone invited to this party were young masters and young ladies either from a rich or renowned family, all wearing expensive brands and luxury items on their body.

"Aiyowee, isn't this my little cousin Chen Xiao Yang?"

"tit tit tit... expensive brand? Xiao Yang are you sure they are real?"

It was Xiao Yang's cousin Chen Yu Yeng, his parent owned a multi-million yuan business and they spoiled him ever since he was young.

"Xiao Mei let's ignore him"

As they were about to walk off the lady holding Yu Yeng next to him walked forward blocking their path.

"Chen Xiao Yang stop right there"

"You are Mo Lin Xing?"

"I am, and the engagement between you and me is broken"

"Sorry? Engagement?"

Xiao Yang is left dumbfounded along with his siste, but Ling Xing was getting furious as if Xiao Yang had mistaken something.

"Yes engagment! Remember you told me that you were going to marry me?"

At this point everyone nearby started to gossip with each others and prepared for something to happen.

"Do you mean the words we said when we were 3 years old?"

"Words?! That was you proposing to me!"

At that time Xiao Yang didn't know a single thing about relationship, according to Xiao Yang's memory she was the one who proposed to him.

"You realised that we were 3 years old back then, why are you taking this so serious"

Everyone around quickly dissipated, disappointed after knowing that it was just an childhood fantasy. Xiao Yang along with his sister quickly walked away without looking back.

After the everyone settled on a table and had their foods, the host of the party who is the young master of Bai family, Bai Chong Leng got up on stage and announced the start of the auction.

"First item is a Diamond Amulet made out of 100% diamond and is hand crafted from Italy. Starting price ¥500k"

"Yu Yeng I want that amulet!"

"Don't worry baby, I will buy the necklace for you unlike somebody who can't even afford to buy real brands."

It was the two of them again that Xiao Yang had met earlier, they already bid ¥5 million for the the amulet. Xiao Yang turned around to see his sister's eyes sparkling and fixed at the amulet.

"Xiao Mei do you want it?"

"It's certainly beautiful, but we only have ¥500k given by dad and the bid is already at ¥5 million"

"¥6 Million!"

Xiao Yang raised his plastic sign with his bidder number on it into the air.

"Xiao Yang! We only have ¥500k"

Xiao Mei was desperately shaking his arm and kept whispering to Xiao Yang to remind him of the amount of money given by their dad.

"Don't worry about it I have enough money, trust me"

Xiao Yang looked at her eyes without flinching however she is still left in disbelief of his words.

-"¥7 Million!"

Yu Yeng increased his bid, he Chen Yu Yeng wasn't going to lose to this loser, however Xiao Yang is determined to get the amulet for her sister.

"¥8 Million!"

"¥8 Million for a necklace that is worth ¥4 million at most? Do you have the money to pay for it?!"

"Host I believe you should check whether this person has enough money or not!"

Chong Leng started to get nervous, it was his first time hosting such event and it was also a task given but his dad. He can't fail this task otherwise he fear that his dad will be more favourable to his younger brother, but now a person is suspected of not having enough money to pay?

"Ladies and Gentlemen could I please kindly remind you that you must have enough money before bidding on the item"

Though the everyone know the message was for Xiao Yang, but he try to say it without offending him.

"You don't have to worry about that I have enough money, please continue the auction"

"Yu Yeng I want that amulet!"

"Baby don't worry, I bet he is just boasting. Just sit back and watch the show"

The bidding ended with Xiao Yang's bid as the highest, a waiter holding a mini handheld swipe machine on circular tray came up to Xiao Yang and asked for his credit card. Xiao Yang proceed to swipe the card and entered the pin.

*Payment Success*

The waiter turned around at the host and gentle shake his head.

"Congratulation to Mr Chen for winning the diamond amulet! The profit will be donated to the charity"

The diamond amulet was quickly transported to him, Xiao Yang then proceed to gently tie it around Xiao Mei's neck.

"Xiao Yang this...?"

"This Diamond Amulet is my gift to you, don't worry about the money I will explain it to you later"

The two lovers who was accusing Xiao Yang just a few minutes ago was now left confused, shouldn't they get kick out of the auction instead?

"Host are you sure the payment went through?"

At this point the host was getting furious by the lovers who kept spouting nonsense towards this his genuine buyer.

"This gentleman here could you please stop you wrongful accusation, I can assure you that Mr Chen is a honourable bidder."

Yu Yeng sat back down onto his seat with his head low, fearing that he might get kicked out if he continue to annoy the host.

"The Next item is a Tang Dynasty Flower Pot, starting price ¥5 million and minimum increased by ¥1 million."

"¥5 million"

-"¥10 million"

After seeing Xiao Yang bidding, Yu Yeng also started bidding and is doubling the value each time he bid.

"¥15 million!"

-"¥30 million!"

...

"¥2 billion!"

-"¥4 billion!"

Yu Yeng was kept smirking during all this time, but Xiao Yang remained emotionless and continued to bid, both seemed to kept bidding none stop while the crowd is entertained by the question of how high the price will get?

"¥5 billion!"

-"10 billion!"

Then Xiao Yang remained silent and so did everyone, while Yu Yeng heart started to pound harder and harder after realising what just happened.

'This can't be why did he stopped?!'

"Sigh, I have hit my limit it seems cousin Yu Yeng really wanted the flower pot then and you are my senior so I will let you have it this time."

"How unfortunate Xiao Mei, we didn't manage to win it this time"

"Uh...? um... yeah"

The waiter came delivering the swipe machine again but this time towards Yu Yeng, but Yu Yeng was clearly sweating heavily while sitting on his seat.

"Um... can I write an I.O.U instead? I didn't bring enough money with me"

The waiter then proceed to hand him a contract that he had to signed which gave him a 7 days time period to pay up the debt.

"Next up we will play a game called gambling stone, remember the money you spent on the stones will be donated to charity"
