“Brother, this candy is for you~ Don’t be sad~

“I’ll give you my toys too~”

The four or five-year-old girl had a bright smile. Whenever she smiled, she revealed her white teeth. She stood in front of him, looking a little timid. Her eyes were big and bright as she stared at him.

When she had first come to the orphanage, she had nothing. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying. It was the dean of the orphanage who gave her a candy bar and a small toy to appease her.

She squeezed the candy bar, reluctant to eat it. However, when she saw that he was injured, she didn’t hesitate to reach out and place the candy bar in his palm.

This was an image that Feng Ze could not forget for the rest of his life. It was like seeing his parents die. The scene was deeply engraved in his mind and left an incomparable mark.

He cocked his head at the woman.

Su Bei raised the sign again. “1.2 million!”

The bespectacled man immediately raised his placard. “Two million!”

Su Bei frowned and looked up. Her slender and beautiful eyes were filled with confusion. Who was it that wanted to compete with her for this?

“Five million!” Su Bei directly called out a price. She couldn’t be bothered to continue the price war with that person and tried to use a high price to make that person give up.

There was indeed some hesitation on the other end.

However, the people at the scene had other opinions about Su Bei. She called such a high price to flatter herself.

The bespectacled man hesitated for a long time before lowering his head to discuss it with his companion. He felt that it would be profitable even if he increased the price to get the painting. He said, “10 million!”

This time, the voices of those who tried to make fun of Su Bei became much softer. They all thought that the bespectacled man was hired by Lu Heting to give Su Bei face.

Su Bei’s eyes flickered as she looked over. She knew that this man wasn’t sent by Lu Heting. There were indeed many rich people at this kind of charity auction who would come to pick up the leftovers and buy some items auctioned by Best Actors and Best Actresses for collection purposes.

Generally speaking, when celebrities encountered such a situation, they would just smile and forget about it. It did not matter if the items were not returned to them. After all, it was a matter of fame and fortune.

She had encountered such a situation tonight, but she was unwilling to part with the item. This was a little difficult.

Thinking of this, Su Bei raised her placard again. “20 million!”

20 million? Someone thought to themselves, “Su Bei is good at acting. She’s deliberately forcing Lu Heting to bid higher than Lu Tianqing to become the most dazzling star tonight.”

“She has to do all this personally. Su Bei is really amazing at getting attention! As expected of a woman who can get to the top of the entertainment industry. She really has some skills!”

On the other side, the bespectacled man hesitated. The price was too high. Even if he got the painting, it would be a high risk if the price was too high. The chances of the painting’s value falling in his hands were too high.

‘Forget it, forget it.’ The bespectacled man kept shaking his head and reluctantly looked away from the painting. He had to put down his bidding placard and stop.

Seeing this, the auctioneer said, “It’s 20 million going once, 20 million going twice. Is there anyone else who wants to bid for Su Bei’s item? Anyone? Anyone?”

The auctioneer’s beguiling voice echoed around the room, but no one called out a new price.

Seeing that Su Bei had no choice but to spend 20 million yuan on herself, Lu Tianqing and Sheng Xiaotang both laughed.

The others joined in the soft laughter.

Most people did not have any grudges against Su Bei. They were just jealous and happy to see others fail.

The auctioneer raised his auction hammer and said, “So, 20 million thrice...”

“20 million and one thousand.” Feng Ze, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly raised his bidding placard.

This saved Su Bei’s life. However, this price... was still shocking.

Wasn’t Feng Ze insulting her by raising the price like this?

Everyone finally understood that not only did Feng Ze hate Su Bei on the surface, but he also wouldn’t give her any face at all.

When Su Bei heard Feng Ze’s price, she shot him a resentful look. What was going on?

Feng Ze’s bright eyes couldn’t reveal his true emotions, but his aura was much gentler than before... Could it be her imagination?

Su Bei didn’t dare to think too much about it. With how much Feng Ze hated her now, she definitely wouldn’t let Feng Ze take this painting away.

Once it was in his hands, she certainly couldn’t get it back.

“21 million.” Su Bei raised the placard weakly.

‘What kind of people did I meet tonight?’

First, it was the man with the glasses, now it was Feng Ze. This really gave her a headache.

If it were her own painting, it would have been fine if it was casually auctioned away, but Xiao Bai had taken out the wrong thing.

“21 million and one thousand yuan,” Feng Ze continued.

Everyone looked at him as if there was a good show to watch. Was Feng Ze going to fight Su Bei to the end tonight?

Su Bei raised her placard. “22 million.”

Feng Ze said, “22 million and one thousand.”

Su Bei continued, and so did Feng Ze. In a moment, the number reached 30,100. No matter what Su Bei said, Feng Ze would calmly and quietly add 1,000.

Su Bei: “...”

She really couldn’t take it anymore. She lowered her head and asked, “Feng Ze, what are you doing? This painting is very important to me. Can you not snatch it from me?”

“I’m buying it for you,” Feng Ze whispered back, his tone gentle.

Su Bei: “...”

Her bright eyes fluttered, but her teeth were clenched. “I appreciate the offer.”

She refused to believe a word he said. This personality was cold and heartless even toward Da Bao. How could he give her anything?

She should just get it on her own.

In the blink of an eye, the price had already reached 40 million, which was already higher than the price of Lu Tianqing’s item.

Sheng Xiaotang chuckled. “Su Bei is really good. She raised her price to a sky-high price. But no matter what, everyone knows that this is just her self-hype tactic. So what if the price is high?”

Lu Tianqing smiled and said, “Let’s see how she ends up.”

Everyone craned their necks to see how Su Bei would clean up the mess today.

“41 million.” Feng Ze didn’t hesitate to give a steady figure.

Su Bei didn’t know why he hated her so much... Helpless, she raised her placard again.

Then, a strange man’s voice came from the back row. “80 million!”

The crowd erupted and looked toward the back row.
