âWhatâs wrong? You guys donât trust us? Fatty Lai wondered after seeing their expressions.
âItâs not that we donât trust youâ¦.â Haitian smiled wryly. âWeâre just blown away, thatâs all!â
âOhh, is that so.â Fatty Lai truly thought they were blown away by the effect of their special edition injury medicine, not because of the coincidence. âThereâs twenty bottles. Make the base bid price 500,000, please. Mr. Yu, you can handle the rest right?â
âTwenty bottles? Do you have the stock on hand?â Haitianâs eyes widened. Shock crossed his face.
ââ¦Yesâ¦â Fatty Lai almost threw a tantrum and unleashed his fury on Haitian. But he refrained from doing so because House Yu was powerful, and he didnât do anything improper. Just the way he doubted them frustrated him.
âUncle, what do you think?â Haitian was troubled and faced Shuixing for help.
âHehe, letâs put it in the auction for tomorrow!â Shuixing smiled. âI think this medicine will cause a craze. 500,000 is too low, make it 1 million.â
âOK!â Haitian listened to his uncleâs decision and didnât say more.
Fatty Lai did not see that coming. 1 million as the base bid price was good as long as it could be sold at a higher price. He placed the suitcase he was carrying on the table and said, âHereâs the special edition injury medicine. Please have a look and examine it, Mr. Yu. The description is written inside.â
Haitian was perplexed as he opened the suitcase. Were these supposed to be the special edition injury medicine? These lousy white plastic bottles⦠why did they look the same as the small bottles that contained spices?
âTh-This is the special edition?â Haitian couldnât hold back the question in.
âHehe, it was prepared last minute, so there was no time for packaging.â Fatty Lai smiled.
Haitian went speechless, but he still trusted Fatty Lai. The medicine should be effective. After giving it some thought, he nodded. âOK, Iâll go register this item.â
After chatting a little more with Fatty Lai, Xuemin, Fatty Lai and Lin Yi left the auction hall. Shuixing knew that he should get closer with people like Xuemin.
Besides, Miracle Doctor Guanâs medical company only produced extraordinary items!
After sending off Xuemin, Shuixing wanted to burst into laughter as he recalled that Miracle Doctor Kang wanted to use his Skin Beautifying Golden Creation to become a noble house! Normally, it would be more than enough! But, since Miracle Doctor Guan himself took out the same items, which were available at present, it made Miracle Doctor Kangâs 100 presale items seem like no big deal!
If Miracle Doctor Kang found out, he would surely break down into tears. He wanted to use the Skin Beautifying Golden Creation to connect with the other houses, but little did he know that Miracle Doctor Guan had the medicines available and ready to sell already. Who would want to buy his presale medicine?
âUncle, today was a complicated day!â Haitian gave a sigh of relief.
âHehe, it wasnât that complicated. Itâs just that House Kang isnât qualified to become a noble house now,â Shuixing said. âHouse Kangâs last resort was nothing in the face of Miracle Doctor Guan!â
âI know, right? Then should we still put the Skin Beautifying Golden Creation in the auction tonight?â Haitian asked.
âOf course, why not?â Shuixing smiled. âIt doesnât affect anything. Weâll just let others buy it, whoever wants it.â
âTrue, weâre just helping them sell things in the auction; itâs not our fault if no one wants to buy.â Haitian nodded.
The second auction started that night.
Xiaoxiao called Lin Yi early in the morning, but Lin Yi didnât have time to talk long, so he just asked about the whereabouts of Tianlong. After learning that Tianlong hadnât returned home yet, he rejected Xiaoxiaoâs invitation.
However, in the auction hall, it was impossible to avoid Xiaoxiao.
âLin Yi!â Xiaoxiao was holding two drinks in her hand and ran over to Lin Yi, blushing as she remembered what happened yesterday.
âNothingâs gone wrong, has it?â Lin Yi took the drink from Xiaoxiaoâs hand. He had a weird relationship with Xiaoxiao, and Tianlong was involved too, which gave him a headache.
âOh, Iâm fine.â Xiaoxiao shook her head shyly, in huge contrast to her previous behavior.
Lin Yi was helpless against Xiaoxiaoâs behavior. It could not be denied that he was a little moved by Xiaoxiao, but it was lust, not love.
Lin Yi thought that Xiaoxiaoâs condition was bizarre. This was his first time witnessing such a mysterious disease.
âXiaoxiao, we used to have some bad blood, but since I saved you yesterdayâ¦â Lin Yi went silent for a while and added, âI think weâre even, right?â
âAh?â Xiaoxiao was taken aback. But she soon understood what he meant. Lin Yi hoped that she would stop seeking revenge. But did she⦠still want the revenge?
If Lin Yi didnât mention it, Xiaoxiao wouldnât have felt it. But since he had mentioned it, Xiaoxiao felt she didnât hate Lin Yi that much anymore. The anger was disappearing; she didnât want revenge anymore. It was complicated and she felt a mix of emotions.
Lin Yi had seen her naked, but he didnât show any signs. Was he leaving it at that?
âWeâd already resolved the problems between us, hadnât we? Xiaoxiao decided and looked at Lin Yi strangely.
âXiaoxiao, be honest with me, what do you want?â Lin Yi was unaffected by Xiaoxiaoâs innocence.
âI⦠I like you, I-I want to be with you, nothing elseâ¦.â Xiaoxiao looked at Lin Yi, hurt. âYou wouldnât not take responsibility, rightâ¦.â
Lin Yi was speechless. He knew the best way to resolve it was to ignore her, since continuing the conversation wouldnât lead to a conclusion.
Xiaoxiao wasnât angry at Lin Yi ignoring her. She just flipped through the auctionâs catalog.
The lights dimmed and two spotlights shined on the auction stage as Haitian walked out from the back and bowed gracefully. âLadies and gentlemen, welcome to the second day of the second auction!â
Lin Yi showed no interest in most of the auction items. The items were antiques, celebrity dating vouchers, and some treasures.
Finally, the box that Lin Yi was interested came up. The drowsy Fatty Lai sat bolt upright with a thud.
Lin Yi thought it was funny. Fatty Lai really was an outstanding man. This worked too?
âHey, Boss, watch this. It shouldnât be a problem if no oneâs fighting for it!â Fatty Lai guaranteed as he puffed out his chest.
