Half an hour later, the auction began as scheduled.
Jiang Xueqi sat in a seat near the front.
As the daughter of the Jiang family, everyone present naturally recognized her.
"Miss Jiang, long time no see. You're as charming as ever," an elderly businessman approached with a smile and greeted her.
Jiang Xueqi smiled back, "Thank you for the compliment, Boss Li. You're looking quite sprightly yourself."
Another young entrepreneur also came forward, "Miss Jiang, I heard that Jiang Group has been making big moves recently. Something about developing a new beauty product, right? It's truly admirable!"
Jiang Xueqi humbly replied, "Oh, it's nothing. It's still in the development stage."
As she spoke, a wave of confidence gradually welled up from deep within her heart.
Hmph, in all of Jiang City, who else could achieve such great success at her age?
Now the company was developing a brand new product, and once it hit the market...
The entire pharmaceutical industry in Jiang City would have to bow at her feet!
Jiang Xueqi wanted everyone to know that even if she couldn't cultivate...
She could still reach the pinnacle in another field!
At this moment,
A young man walked over with a smile, "Little sister Xueqi, long time no see. I didn't expect to see you here."
With the young man's appearance,
Surprised looks appeared on the faces of everyone around.
The young master of the Situ family... Situ Rufeng?!
The Situ Clan was one of the top families in Jiang City.
Logically speaking, he wasn't interested in antiques, so why would he come here specifically?
Could it be...
Everyone's eyes darted back and forth between Situ Rufeng and Jiang Xueqi.
They all revealed knowing smiles.
Everyone knew that Situ Rufeng and Jiang Xueqi were childhood sweethearts. He must have come for Jiang Xueqi.
Upon seeing Situ Rufeng,
A look of pleasant surprise appeared on Jiang Xueqi's face, and she suddenly became a bit shy, "Brother Rufeng..."
Wang Yong, standing to the side, watched with intense jealousy. What pretty boy nonsense is this? Jiang Xueqi is the one I've set my sights on!
Situ Rufeng seemed to sense something and glanced at Wang Yong, asking puzzled, "And who might this be?"
Jiang Xueqi quickly said, "Just some stinky security guard."
Hearing this, Wang Yong's expression immediately turned as sour as if he'd eaten excrement.
Jiang Xueqi pretended not to see and smiled, "Brother Rufeng, are you interested in antiques too?"
Situ Rufeng smiled at her words, "I just heard that little sister Xueqi was here, so I came too."
Jiang Xueqi was touched, "Brother Rufeng..."
At this time,
Several of Situ Rufeng's lackeys also chimed in.
"We've long heard that Miss Jiang and that Su Muwan from the Su family both love antiques, but everyone knows that Su Muwan doesn't understand anything at all. She just buys the most expensive things. How can she compare to Miss Jiang's true passion?"
"That's right, that's right. When it comes to antiques, we must look to our Miss Jiang!"
Jiang Xueqi was quite pleased hearing this.
Heh, Su Muwan, although people often compare us,
Even if your martial arts talent is somewhat decent,
But... when it comes to people skills and character, you're far behind me.
Just as she was about to say a few modest words,
The next second,
Bang!!!!
The doors of the venue were rudely pushed open.
Everyone saw,
A man wearing sunglasses entered, surrounded by a group of black-clad followers.
Just as everyone was about to open their mouths to scold them,
Their expressions suddenly changed.
Because the sharp-eyed ones had already recognized Shen Fei and the others. This was clearly... Su Muwan's entourage!!
But where was Su Muwan?
Who was this man in the lead?
Jiang Xueqi's gaze sharpened. Su Muwan was here?!
No, that was... Su Muwan's entourage!!
Damn it!
Qin Luo walked in, sweeping his gaze across the venue. Especially when he saw Jiang Xueqi, the corner of his mouth curved into a disdainful smile.
Everyone was confused.
Who was this person??
Situ Rufeng seemed to notice Jiang Xueqi's unhappy expression and asked in a low voice, "Little sister Xueqi, do you know this person?"
Jiang Xueqi nodded, angrily muttering, "This person is Su Muwan's lackey. He's provoked me before."
Situ Rufeng nodded, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
So it was just a lackey after all.
Thinking this, Situ Rufeng glanced at his own lackey beside him.
The latter understood and swaggered towards Qin Luo and his group.
Qin Luo looked at the people in the venue.
When he saw that Jiang Xueqi and others were present, Qin Luo was quite satisfied.
Good, everyone's here.
At this moment,
A man walked aggressively towards Qin Luo: "Hey, kid! Don't you know the rules of our auction? Lackeys like you are not allowed to..."
Before he could finish,
Slap!
"Ugh!"
Qin Luo directly backhanded him, cutting off the rest of his speech.
Thud!
The man fell to the ground, clutching his face, immediately groaning in pain.
Everyone saw the man's face swelling rapidly, with a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth.
He stared with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief.
He had never imagined that someone would dare to be so bold as to directly hit someone in front of so many people.
Did he... not even hesitate for a moment to consider whether there might be consequences?
The entire venue fell silent.
Everyone looked at Qin Luo in disbelief.
Is this... Su Muwan's lackey?
How can he be so arrogant??
This was also Situ Rufeng's first time seeing Qin Luo. In his impression, Su Muwan's lackey had always been a woman.
This was indeed the first time he'd seen this man.
Then, everyone saw Qin Luo, who had just slapped the man, lift his nose haughtily. His calm yet arrogant voice reached everyone's ears, "Shen Fei."
"What was that dog barking just now?"
Shen Fei respectfully said, "Shen Fei doesn't know."
Hearing this, Qin Luo said indifferently, "Then let's take our seats."
Saying this, he stepped forward.
He stepped on the lackey who was still lying on the ground questioning his life choices and walked over him.
"Ugh!!"
The man on the ground screamed in pain, prostrating himself with a face full of disbelief.
He really... just stepped over him??
Everyone's expressions turned angry.
An elderly business owner stood up, pointing at Qin Luo as he passed by, and cursed, "Stop right there! This is the Antique City Auction! It's not a place for someone like you to..."
Slap!!
"Ugh!"
Before he could finish,
Shen Fei slapped him across the face, then pointed at the old boss who had sat back down with a terrified look on his face while covering his cheek, and scolded, "Shut up! Who are you to speak when my Brother Luo is here?"
"Oh, I made a mistake. We're all here for the Young Miss."
Qin Luo calmly explained.
"Understood, Brother Luo."
Shen Fei glared once more at the old boss who was covering his face and unable to speak, then continued to follow behind Qin Luo.
Wow, no wonder Brother Luo always likes to slap people. This feeling... it's strangely satisfying!
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms.

"Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
