100 years before Divorce
When the emcee starts to announce the auction will starts in ten minutes, Xia Sha and Zheng Shuang intertwined their arm and walked together back to the ballroom.
They walk past series of doors in the long hallway, only to hear shouting voices from one of the doors. Xia Sha lifted her eyebrow a glance at Zheng Shuang.
Zheng Shuang tilted her head. "The Tang priest said that I should keep myself far from other people's business for these three weeks." She calmly chimed in with a smile.
Xia Sha rolls her eyes point at the door with her thumb. "I think that is Ling bastard's voice and his mistress."
Zheng Shuang gasped and picked up her long dress. "Why don't you say from the start? let's go!" She shouted lowly and dragged Xia Sha's wrist.
Xia Sha is stunned when she sees Zheng Shuang starts running with her heels 16 cm heels. She broke into a grin before running with her. The two women pressed their ears against the door at the same time as the two of them carefully trying to steal information from the conversation inside.
"Meng Ran, what did you do again this time?" Ling Guang sounds enraged as he shouted at her frustratedly.
"I did not do anything!"
"Did not do anything? What did you give to young master Guan? Do you think I'm so stupid? That is the file about Xia's Corporation's new product, right?"
Xia Sha's heart stops beating for a moment. Her face fell when she heard Ling Guang's words. What is this? Ling Guang has the file about her new product, and Meng Ran gives it to Guan Xian?
Is this the flash disk Guan Xian forced her to hand out before?
"It's not-"
"Scr*w you! Do you think I don't know what you had done behind my back? You had been flirting with Guan Xian below my nose."
"I don't!"
"You don't? I have every copy of the text you send him. Are you blindly stupid or what? Can't you see he only use you to get Xia Sha?"
"Xia Sha again, Xia Sha again! It's always been Xia Sha in your mind.
If you love her that much, why did you cheat with me? Do you think every man is like you, so bewitched by Xia Sha?"
"Oh, so you don't think Guan Xian like Xia Sha? Then you must be blind. I don't care what you want to do, but you better stop Guan Xian from giving the flash disk from Xia Sha. If she knew we are sabotaging her product, everyone in this country would see your sex tapes!"
Loud gaps come from Meng Ran. Followed by low gasps from Zheng Shuang. Xia Sha is so speechless that she could not utter any words. Her fist clenched that her knuckles turn white.
***
Xia Sha did not remember how she manages to walk into the ballroom without killing Meng Ran or Guan Xian inside the room. Zheng Shuang must have worked hard to help her gain back her composure and not shredding Ling Guang's face right now.
He is lucky that he sits behind Xia Sha. So Xia Sha could not see his jerk face and eventually vent out all of her anger at him.
How dare they collude to trick her again. The last time that b*stard bought Meng Ran at her Xpods product launch, she hasn't yet made them pay for it!
Just how long this man planned to mess with her. He has cheated on her, hurting her psychically, Humiliating her at Grandfather Wang's party, Threatening her, almost make her rapped, and now he wanted to sabotage her hard work?
She had enough of Ling Guang and Meng Ran! She thought when everything end, they could live well separately. Whether she wants to forget it or not, he had given her a beautiful time at one point.
A grateful dog has more worth than an ungrateful man.
She couldn't stand the sight of Ling Guang and Meng Ran anymore. This time, she will make sure Ling Guang, Meng Ran, and Bright Electronic Company disappear from this city forever!
The first step. Xia Sha needs to get the flash disk from Guan Xian's hand. She is not sure about asking for his help after turning him down. Feeling a little bit nervous, she steals a quick glance at Guan Xian, who sits at the front table.
"What do you want to get tonight?" Xiao Zhan catch Xia Sha's little movement tried to show a warm smile while diverting her mind. Xia Sha turned at him and shook her head decisively.
"Oh, come one. This is Jian's family auction. Everything on the list is priceless. We are lucky they arrange a public auction and not a private one this time," Xiao Zhan murmured while handling Xia Sha the little booklet.
"That's is why I am here. There is no way the Jian family suddenly wants to hold a public auction for no reason. There must be something important they want to announce today."
The big four-family especially likes being lowkey and exclusive. Elites members like them held a tradition and selective of their social circle. They choose to throw a party at their own gigantic house rather than a hotel ballroom like this.
While the older generation is stricter, the younger generation is not too loose either. It's rare for Wang Kai, Guan Xian, Ji Cun Xi, Jian Jun, and even Xiao Ni to attend a party. So today's event must be important.
"I see that. But you really fancy nothing?" Xiao Zhan slides closer to Xia Sha. His little action is caught by the dark brown eyes from the front row. Scowling, he averted his gaze angrily.
Xia Sha is not aware of this as her gaze falls on the last picture at the little booklet. The painting from an earlier performance. She actually planned to bid on it and give it to Shen Ao Tian. She felt the painting really suit his temper.
"Let just see first," She decides and closes the little booklet.
At first, the auction went peacefully. However, when the legendary rose pin comes out, Meng Ran excitedly raised her bid on it. Xia Sha almost picks up her stick to fight her, but Xiao Ni has raised her first.
"I won't let her win," She even said with a loud enough voice for everyone to hear. It's clear she wanted to mess up with Meng Ran.
Xia Sha is glad she shares the same nausea feelings on the same person with Xiao Ni this time. It just makes things easier since Xiao Ni always get everything she wanted. It's like she herself is the fortune goddess.
Of course, Meng Ran couldn't bid out Xiao Ni, who walk to the podium with a victorious grin on her beautiful face. Xia Sha caught Wang Kai silently messaging his temple but chuckling. Guan Xian is shaking his head but clapping his hand. Ji Cun Xi smiles proudly while Jian Jun is smiling.
Their table is just too eyecatching.
When a golden phoenix hairpin appears on the stages, Meng Ran tried to bid it once again. This time she cleverly asks Ling Guang helps to bid for her. Ling Guang looks reluctant, but for the loving images he wanted to show, he helped her bid anyway.
"two million." Ling Guang bids. Xia Sha glanced sharply at him and picked up her board.
"So lame, ten million." She said smugly, provoking Ling Guang and Meng Ran on the back seat.
"Eleven million," Ling Guang call while gritting his teeth. It's a bid amount for him, but he did not want to lose from Xia Sha.
"Twenty." Xia Sha raised two times from her bids once again.
"Twenty-five." Ling Guang said painfully. Xia Sha smirked and raised her board again.
"Forty." She said without looking at Ling Guang. But her arrogant and soothing voices are enough to trample on his pride.
"Forty going one, Going two. Going three..." The moderator counted and Ling Guang did not raise his board again. Even Meng Ran did not dare to ask for more since forty million is way over her budget.
"The Red Ruby golden phoenix hairpin, donated by the beautiful Mrs.Guan Qian Si from Guan family is sold to Ms. Xia Sha from the Xia family for forty million. Please welcome Ms. Xia Sha on the stages." Round applause rang throughout the big ballroom as the moderator announce Xia Sha as the winner.
Xia Sha is stupified, she did not know it was donated by Guan Xian's mother. No wonder Meng Ran desperately wants to win the golden hairpin. She tried to calm herself and walk to the stages while chanting 'grace under pressure' along the way.
Upon the stage, she could see every one eye on her clearly. Xiao Zhan's complicated looks, Xiao Ni, Zheng Shuang, and Kai Zin's teasing smiles, and those dark brown eyes' meaningful gaze fall on her.
She tried to ignore all the piling up feelings that bursting our inside and calmly take the golden hairpin from the moderator's hand. Despite everything, she really does like the exquisite and luxurious design of the hairpin.
She doesn't regret spending forty million for the hairpin and Ling Guang's humiliation at all. What she regrets is hearing the short thank you speech from Guan Xian.
"Thank you for your generous donation, Ms. Xia. I'm glad you like something from our Guan family. I'm glad The Red Ruby Golden Phoniex Hairpin is now your hand, please take a good care of our family legacy." He smirked while staring at her from his seat, a mic on his mouth.
"..."
Your family legacy you said? If it's a legacy, why did you auction it?! The hairpin on her hand suddenly felt heavier than before. Xia Sha look at the hairpin on her hand with horror.
No matter who hears Guan Xian, they felt like there is a deeper meaning under his short speech. For the one who is clever, they could catch his hidden confession for Xia Sha!
Young Master Guan is indeed crafty!
Chapter 67: Please Take A Good Care Of Our Family Legacy
They walk past series of doors in the long hallway, only to hear shouting voices from one of the doors. Xia Sha lifted her eyebrow a glance at Zheng Shuang.

The little booklet consists of the things they were auction today, along with a description and starting price. The design was very thoughtful and beautiful. Xia Sha could see Jian Jun's taking care of the details carefully."That's is why I am here. There is no way the Jian family suddenly wants to hold a public auction for no reason. There must be something important they want to announce today."
The big four-family especially likes being lowkey and exclusive. Elites members like them held a tradition and selective of their social circle. They choose to throw a party at their own gigantic house rather than a hotel ballroom like this.
