Chapter 30: Your Father's Surname
When Fang Yuan stepped out of the car, Tang Nan's eyes were fixed on the distinctive white Silbe sports car. She was taken aback for a moment before asking, "Is this your car?" It was an SSC Tuatara, a limited edition worldwide, with a license plate displaying nine consecutive numbers.
Tang Nan couldn't help but feel a surge of astonishment. She knew that Fang Yuan resided in Jin'an Garden, but her parents were certainly not from an ordinary noble family if they could afford such a luxurious vehicle.
She placed a hand on her chest, as if she had been struck by a revelation. "What is your father's last name?"
"Fang Yuan." Fang Yuan replied.
"Cheng Ye?" Tang Nan's eyes widened in shock.
"Do you know my father?" Fang Yuan inquired, curious about the unexpected reaction.
"Of course! Everyone knows who the richest man in the country is. You truly have been reborn into a privileged life!" Tang Nan spoke with deep emotion. "Those fools from the Fang Family, it's too late for them to regret now!"
…
In the outskirts, there stood a private abbey that was illuminated with bright lights. The abbey boasted over 20 entrances, resembling the sun in a children's painting from an aerial view.
Each car had its own designated entrance, leading to separate garages. Upon parking, guests would take different elevators to reach their designated private rooms.
They encountered no other guests along the way, ensuring their privacy was maintained. Obtaining tickets to this exclusive venue was always a challenge.
As the most favored princess of the Tang Family, Tang Nan had secured a ticket to this prestigious location. She and Fang Yuan were regular attendees.
After parking the car, they entered the private abbey and proceeded to private room 2, where an assortment of drinks and snacks awaited them.
....
This was Cheng Yuqi's first visit to this place, and she marveled at the magnificent abbey that held a hidden world within its walls. If it hadn't been for her best friend's guidance, she would have never known about this hidden gem.
"Mu Sha, how did you find out about this place?" Cheng Yuqi asked her best friend. She had mentioned to Mu Sha that she was unsure about what to gift the ailing Old Master Bo, and Mu Sha suggested exploring this location.
"I've been here with my brother before, and I've learned so much from this place! You can find something unique and precious that Old Master might appreciate. It'll surely make him happy!" Mu Sha, also coming from a wealthy family, understood that Old Master had likely seen countless valuable items, and ordinary gifts wouldn't captivate his attention. The auction items, on the other hand, were not readily available on the market.
"Where are the other guests?" Cheng Yuqi inquired with curiosity.
"They're in the other rooms. There are 28 rooms in total, arranged in a circle around the central stage."
"But I don't see any auctioneer here. The items are auctioned off by smart devices," Cheng Yuqi observed.
"Do you know why each room has a large glass wall? It allows the guests to view the treasures easily. You can see what's inside the rooms from the outside, but you can't see inside from outside," Mu Sha explained.
Cheng Yuqi couldn't help but feel a tinge of envy upon hearing her best friend's words. If only her five older brothers had been willing to expose her to such experiences and show her the wider world.
In Room 1, Mu Qing stood beside Bo Yi and respectfully said, "Master Bo, the heart-strengthening grass will be the final item up for auction."
"Okay," the man sitting on the sofa replied in a low voice, exuding an air of nobility. He was interested in the heart-strengthening grass as it was reputed to be highly effective for heart ailments. He planned to obtain it and present it to renowned doctors for further study.
"Let the auction begin!"
A mechanical female voice resounded, and the central stage slowly opened, revealing the first item ascending into view. The automated system then provided an introduction, including the item's value and its source.
The auction item, displayed on the electronic screen in the private room, appeared enlarged and every detail was clearly visible. It was a bottle of Mind-enhancing Powder, renowned for its ability to provide a cool and soothing sensation in the heart when consumed by heart disease patients. It could be used in daily soup preparations or adjusted with water for quick relief during moments of pain. Additionally, it could be safely combined with other medications without any side effects.
As the system introduced the Mind-enhancing Powder, it followed a track on the ground and automatically moved to the glass wall of each private room, allowing the occupants to examine it closely.
"Yuanyuan, aren't these the remnants from your heart-strengthening pills?" Tang Nan inquired.
"Yes," Fang Yuan admitted honestly, "I'm making the most of them." While the powder didn't possess the same potency as the heart-strengthening pills, it still had medicinal value that shouldn't go to waste.
"The starting price is 210,000 yuan," the system announced.
Upon hearing the price, Tang Nan couldn't help but exclaim emotionally, "The leftovers are worth more than 200,000 yuan…"
Adjacent to the glass wall, three buttons were available, labeled with 100,000, 500,000, and 1,000,000 respectively. Each increase in bidding would be at least 100,000 yuan.
Standing before the glass wall, Cheng Yuqi observed the red numbers displayed on the walls of other private rooms. After several rounds of bidding, the price had already escalated to 1.2 million yuan!Read lat𝙚st chapters at nov(𝒆)lbin.com Only
