Chapter 237: Calling him a beast is both a compliment and an insult to the beast
"There is a much-anticipated mask auction at the Longcheng Hotel tonight. Are you interested?" Di Yan asked with anticipation.
Lin Yaoyao looked puzzled. "Mask auction? Auctioning masks?"
Su Ci muttered quietly, "What level of mask must that be to be auctioned..."
Seeing that they had misunderstood, Di Yan quickly explained, "It's not about auctioning masks, it's about everyone wearing masks to participate in the auction, which gives them a sense of anonymity."
"Based on the items sold at previous mask auctions, the items at this kind of auction are all kinds of strange and bizarre. Anything in the world can be auctioned."
Su Ci's eyes widened. "Can humans do that?"
"Of course." Di Yan transformed into a little science expert. "Someone auctioned off their daughter before in exchange for a large sum of money."
Su Ci frowned, "What's the difference between this and a beast?"
Di Yan said expressionlessly, "Calling him a beast is flattering him and insulting beasts. His behavior is worse than that of a beast."
Lin Yaoyao's interest grew from the conversation between Su Ci and Di Yan. She curled her lips wickedly and said, "It's quite interesting. I must go and see it."
Di Yan: "Then I will send an invitation to Longcheng Hotel to wait for us."
After half an hour.
Lin Yaoyao, Su Ci and Di Yan wore half-faced masks and girlfriend-style dresses and walked to the entrance of the mask auction on the second floor of Longcheng Hotel.
The auction is by invitation only.
No entry without an invitation.
The person who was supposed to deliver the invitation to Lin Yaoyao and the others had not arrived yet, so the three of them stood aside and waited.
Five minutes passed and he still didn't come.
Seeing that there were only ten minutes left before admission was stopped, Lin Yaoyao whispered to Di Yan, "Qiqi, hurry up."
Di Yan nodded, said "OK" and went to make a phone call.
Lin Yaoyao and Su Ci chatted intermittently, and the content of their conversation was not excessive. They just said that the young lady's skirt was really beautiful and the necklace on the aunt's neck was very valuable.
This kind of cricket quarrel between best friends is normal.
But there are some people who are self-righteous, looking for trouble and always trying to make others unhappy.
"You're here to join in the fun without an invitation, aren't you trying to hook up a man and take you in?"
"Look at you two, you look so poor, standing here, you're lowering the standard of a normal auction."
"Where are the security guards? Why don't you kick them out quickly?"
The staff in charge of verifying the invitations at the auction were afraid of accidentally offending the boss, so they were very humble in front of the three women who were looking for trouble.
"Three distinguished guests, we have just checked and they do have invitations, but they have not been delivered yet."
The staff's explanation did not satisfy them. The three of them became even more arrogant and conceited.
"It wasn't delivered, so it's not there. How did you verify it without an invitation?"
"Oh, you guys didn't take the money, did you?"
"You dare to embezzle money from an auction of this magnitude? If this gets out..."
The staff knew they didn't do anything, but they were afraid of what people said.
If rumors like this get out, their careers will be over.
After looking at the three people, then at Lin Yaoyao and Su Ci, the staff member said quietly, "How about you two show us your invitations?"
Lin Yaoyao didn't say anything, and Su Ci was unhappy.
She stepped forward, protecting Lin Yaoyao behind her, and asked the staff in a bad tone, "I told you from the beginning that our invitations haven't been delivered yet, so we're waiting here. Are you deliberately making things difficult for us now?"
The staff said nothing.
They cannot afford the charge of corruption, nor can they afford the charge of deliberately making things difficult for the guests of the auction.
Ugh.
This world is so unfair.
When gods fight, the common people suffer.
The three men spoke again.
"Oh, you have quite a temper. Whether you have an invitation or not is another matter..."
"Even if you really have it, then you should take it out. If you can't take it out, then you don't have it. Do you understand the rules?"
"The auction will begin in three or four minutes. I think you'll never be able to enter an auction of this level in your lifetime."
"Hahaha~ If I were you, I would immediately leave with my tail between my legs to avoid embarrassment."
"That's right, get out of here."
"Poor bastard, even if you get in, you can't afford it~"
"..."
"........."
The reason why Lin Yaoyao didn't say anything was that she was checking the information of the three people through Baofu99.
After reading it, she just found it funny.
I thought they were so ostentatious because they were rich enough to rival a country, but after all, it turns out they are just an ordinary wealthy family in Longcheng.
With tens of billions of assets, you dare to bark in front of her?
Who gave them the courage?
Lei family, Lei Danni.
Hua family, Hua Linyue.
Tang family, Tang Miaochun.
Very good, I will remember you.
Tonight's auction will definitely make you bleed heavily.
"You guys..." Su Ci was very angry, her face flushed with anger. She was about to continue arguing with the three of them, but Lin Yaoyao reached out and grabbed her arm. "They're just clowns, Ah Ci. You're giving them face by paying attention to them."
"They don't deserve it!"
Lin Yaoyao had just finished speaking when Di Yan came over with three invitations. She was so smart that she saw through the situation at a glance. She glanced coldly at the faces of Lei Danni, Hua Linyue, and Tang Miaochun, and then handed the invitations to the auction staff.
"Can we go in?"
The auctioneer checked the invitation and confirmed it was all right, then said politely with a smile, "Of course, three distinguished guests, please come in!"
Di Yan walked forward, bumping into Lei Danni and the other two as she passed them. When she reached Lin Yaoyao and Su Ci, she lowered her voice and gritted her teeth, "I'll make them pay back double for what they did to you."
Lin Yaoyao: "Qiqi, you don't need to take action against this kind of clown."
Di Yan was shocked. He asked, "Ayao already has an idea?"
Lin Yaoyao nodded, "I plan to..."
She lowered her voice deliberately so that only Di Yan and Su Ci could hear her.
After listening to this, the two nodded and gave Lin Yaoyao a thumbs up.
...
The auction began in full swing.
As Di Yan said, the items auctioned at this auction are too diverse and too challenging to human nature.
For example, the first item to be auctioned was actually a person, a man.
His appearance is about 90 points, but he has a good figure and is full of hormones, so many women present are attracted to him.
In such occasions, the people who take photos back are almost like servants in feudal society.
In high society, this is an open secret.
It was quite a coincidence that Lei Danni and the other two were sitting behind Lin Yaoyao and the others. The moment she saw the man on the stage, Hua Linyue excitedly said, "Danni, isn't that Wei Yanchen? He offended you, and his father said he'd give him to you. It seems to be true."
Lei Danni raised her head proudly, like a proud peacock. "He is from a humble family, and it is a blessing for me to be interested in him. How dare he refuse and make me lose face at school..."
"This is what happened to him for offending me."
"Hmph~ Wait until I take a picture of him. From now on, he won't have a good life."
Hua Linyue pointed at the middle-aged man on the stage and asked, "Is that Wei Yanchen's dad? He's quite handsome, hahaha. Like father, like son, indeed."
Tang Miaochun was not interested. "I think Wei Yanchen is just average. You guys are obsessed with appearances. He Ruifeng is better. He is the real-life version of the unparalleled Young Master."
Lei Danni laughed and teased Tang Miaochun, "You're just a lustful... hungry... ghost, coveting He Ruifeng's beauty. You better stop talking."
Tang Miaochun: "Aren't you attracted by Wei Yanchen's beauty?"
When Lei Danni heard this, she thought so too.
She laughed. "We're all women, so who doesn't know who? Give me the sign. I want to start bidding."
Lei Danni, Hua Linyue and Tang Miaochun are only twenty years old and are all sophomores in school, but their words and actions are very explosive.
At least that's what Lin Yaoyao and Su Ci heard and saw.
Su Ci typed on the phone screen: Yaoyao, we must not let them succeed.
Lin Yaoyao nodded and replied to Su Ci: Even if you don’t say it, I also plan to do one good deed every day.
Su Ci looked at the line of words written by Lin Yaoyao and secretly breathed a sigh of relief...
There is a saying: I have been caught in the rain, so I always want to hold an umbrella for others.
Seeing Wei Yanchen at this moment, Su Ci thought of her past self.
At that time, because she had no status, no background, and was beautiful, she was often the subject of conversation among wealthy men. They had publicly put her on the line, promising tens of millions for free by sleeping with her, a fact that cast a deep, deep shadow on her heart.
...
Wei Yanchen's biological father stood on the stage and introduced his son.
"He is strong and healthy, full of youthful vigor."
"I'm 21 and I've never had a girlfriend."
"Good personality, sensible and obedient, a must-have at home."
"Dear guests, if you buy this, you won't suffer any loss or be cheated!"
After the introduction, he smiled happily and gave the starting price.
"Starting price: 1!"
The starting price made the whole audience excited.
"Ten thousand yuan? A living person is worth ten thousand yuan? Are you kidding me?"
"Is this really my biological father? Is he crazy?"
"This price simply lowers the quality of the entire auction..."
"Keep your voice down. Their family offended a certain young lady, and they're sending someone here to make amends. The starting price is 1, just a formality to make things reasonable. Otherwise, there's no need to come here."
"I see."
"They say beautiful women bring disaster. I think men are no less dangerous."
"Hahaha~ Who said it wasn't~"
"..."
"........."
Amidst the endless discussions, Su Ci also spoke.
"1 yuan? A human life is only worth 1 yuan?"
"Who on earth organized this crazy auction?"
"Longcheng is the capital of the Dragon Kingdom. How dare they step on your Excellency's feet?"
"Yaoyao, I..."
Su Ci's voice was very low at the beginning, but later on, it gradually lost control and became louder.
Lin Yaoyao and Di Yan looked at each other, and tacitly held Su Ci's hands on the left and right.
Di Yan: "Aci, they won't succeed."
Lin Yaoyao: "Aci, don't worry, justice will always come, even if it's late!"
