Guo Meiying was also full of anger, but the corners of her mouth were stained with an elegant and decent smile. “Your grandmother dotes on her! Hehe… Back then, she gave her a 150 million yuan dowry. Let’s see how much the old lady can give you for your wedding with Qiao Sheng!”

“Mom, we can’t let an outsider like her split the shares in Grandma’s hands!” Bai Xue said excitedly, her voice very low.

“When that day comes, you’ll cooperate with me and act according to the circumstances!” Guo Meiying said in a low voice.

She would not let Ye Qiao get any more shares of the Qiao family. Otherwise, how could she control Huayuan?!

At that moment, Guo Meiying saw Shen Xichuan walking into the banquet hall with a woman on his arm. Her expression was very ugly. She thought to herself, ‘Who is the peasant beside Shen Xichuan?’ Shen Xichuan seemed to have seen her too. He quickly turned his head away and pretended not to see her. Li Yun pulled him toward Ye Qiao and her mother-in-law.

Three years ago, Li Yun begged Ye Qiao to let her back into J City. However, at that moment, she was like a proud peacock standing in front of Ye Qiao with a smug look on her face. She held Shen Xichuan’s arm tightly.

Ye Qiao was wearing a dark blue gauze dress and had wavy curly hair. She stood confidently in front of Shen Xichuan and Li Yun.

“Ye Qiao, aren’t you very capable? Now, you want me to leave? Humph! You never thought that I, Li Yun, would have a day to turn things around! I didn’t even think about it!” Li Yun looked at Ye Qiao and said arrogantly.

“Right! I really never thought about it! I thought that your lives would be over, but unexpectedly, you two have made a comeback. I, Ye Qiao, will have something to play with again!” Ye Qiao walked to Li Yun’s side and whispered into her ear. His tone was full of ridicule.

“Humph! Ye Qiao, just you wait!” Li Yun clenched her teeth and said.

The charity auction was the most important part of the charity banquet. The ten items that would be auctioned this time ranged from an inconspicuous painting drawn by a rural primary school student to a car signed by the Four Heavenly Kings. The starting prices would vary, but the money that would be auctioned would all be used as charity money for the construction of basic education in rural areas.

Coincidentally, Shen Xichuan, Li Yun, and Ye Qiao were sitting at the same table.

At this time, the tenth item was being auctioned. It was an ordinary colored brush painting drawn by an elementary school student, and the starting price was only 200 yuan.

Li Yun held Shen Xichuan’s number plate in her hand. When she saw Ye Qiao raise her number plate, she hurriedly raised it.

“Number 09, Mr. Shen Xichuan quoted a price of 5,000 at one go! Is there anyone going higher?!”

Ye Qiao also raised her number plate!

“Number 06, Ms. Ye Qiao, quoted a price of 5,200!”

“Number 011, Mr. Jiang, quoted a price of 5,400!”

“10,000!” Li Yun raised her number plate again and said very proudly. At this time, the audience applauded enthusiastically! Shen Xichuan and Li Yun were both very proud. The camera zoomed in on them.

“Will the fifth exhibit also fall into the hands of our generous and kind Mr. Shen Xichuan? Is there anyone going higher than 10,000?!”

Ye Qiao raised her paddle again. “11,000!”

“Ye Qiao, you’re really stingy!” Li Yun looked at Ye Qiao who was sitting diagonally across from her and said mockingly. She raised her paddle again!

“50,000!” Li Yun raised her sign and shouted at the end.

The crowd was in an uproar again. They actually quoted 50,000 for an inconspicuous painting drawn by a primary school student!

Was it because they had too much money, or were they stupid?

At this moment, Ye Qiao’s subordinate, who they had deliberately arranged, raised his sign again. “80,000!”

The crowd was in an uproar again, but Li Yun and Shen Xichuan would not let others take the lead. Li Yun raised her sign and shouted, “100,000!”

“My God! Are they crazy?!”

“They’re really rich! Do they burn the money like paper?!”

The crowd was in a heated discussion. The winner had already been decided! In the end, the painting was also sold for 100,000 yuan!

“We just have a lot of money!” Li Yun said proudly. She then looked at Ye Qiao mockingly and said, “Ye Qiao, you can’t beat us every time. How embarrassing!”

Ye Qiao, who was sitting across from her, laughed instead of getting angry. “Shen Xichuan, Li Yun, my two old classmates, I really have to thank you tonight for donating 15 million to our charity dinner!”

“What, what do you mean?” What did she mean by ‘their charity dinner?’

Li Yun was confused.
