Lin Jie’s face was full of disdain. “Qiao Xi is really too unpresentable. She hid all her savings just like that. You’re busy donating money to charity, so why can’t she learn from you?”

Yao Mengqing smiled smugly.

A moment later, the auction officially began.

The first item was a calligraphy piece, but it was not a master’s work, so no one raised their placards.

Even if one wanted to donate, one had to buy something useful. They could not just casually spend money.

At this moment, a sweet female voice sounded. “200,000.”

No one liked this painting, so the 200,000 yuan was wasted.

“Miss Yao, you’re so sensible. Only a person like her would spend money to get this piece.”

“Although 200,000 yuan is just a drop in the ocean for the Yao family, spending 200,000 yuan for nothing is too much of a loss. Compared to Miss Yao, some people are simply unbearable to look at. Yet they still have the cheek to come?”

Everyone looked at Qiao Xi in unison and muttered in a low voice, “Young Master Lin is right. Even if she doesn’t have any money, she can still fork out 200,000 yuan, right? If she doesn’t even bid for such a cheap thing, then the rest of the items won’t even be auctioned off!”

Gu Zheng’s expression turned cold.

The auctioneer put down the mallet. The final winner of the first item was Yao Mengqing. No one wanted to compete with her.

The venue erupted in applause. Everyone was praising her for her beauty and kind heart.

The next item was a jade pendant. Mr. Song had carved it himself and the starting price was two million.

Qiao Xi was instantly interested.

Sister Xue Yi had recently taken a liking to these things and had been looking for a jade pendant. Qiao Xi knew with a glance that this jade pendant was of good quality and Sister Xue Yi would probably like it.

Everyone also had their eyes on this item and gradually raised their hands.

Before long, the price of the jade pendant increased to 3.5 million.

In the end, only Yao Mengqing and a madam were bidding for it. The price kept rising. In the end, Yao Mengqing bid 5 million before the madam gave up.

Everyone gasped.

Although this jade pendant was expensive, it was not worth 5 million yuan. If Eldest Miss Yao spent 5 million yuan on it, was she not planning to bid for the rest of the items?

Yao Mengqi said proudly, “My sister is kind-hearted. She doesn’t care about this small amount of money for a donation. Look at some other people. They’re really shameless!”

Everyone muttered in low voices. Even though Qiao Xi was not as rich as Yao Mengqing, since she was here, she should do her best to bid for something.

Yao Mengqi mocked, “This is a charity auction. It’s for the medical treatment of children from poor families. If some people don’t have the ability and compassion, they should just quickly get lost. Don’t just sit here and pretend to be rich! How disgusting!”

As soon as she finished speaking, the crowd fell silent.

Soon, everyone was discussing.

“Miss Yao spent five million without batting an eye. I heard that she has taken a liking to a few things. She’ll probably donate tens of millions tonight.”

“Also, I heard that President Gu’s female partner for such events previously was Miss Yao. After that, it suddenly became Qiao Xi. Who knows what’s fishy about this?”

“Miss Yao is beautiful and a daughter of a noble family. How can Qiao Xi compare to Miss Yao? Could it be that President Gu really likes Qiao Xi?”

Everyone nodded, and they felt that Qiao Xi would definitely lose all her reputation today.

If Yao Mengqing became the person who donated the most, the foundation would be named after her. This was another honor.

Qiao Xi was just a toy next to President Gu, while Yao Mengqing was the woman who was truly worthy of President Gu. The two of them were worlds apart.

The auctioneer knocked on the auction mallet. “5 million going once!”

“5 million going twice…”

Yao Mengqing was filled with confidence when she heard the praise from her surroundings. She would completely crush Qiao Xi and become the most suitable woman for Gu Zheng.

Right at the last moment, when the gavel was about to land, Qiao Xi slowly raised the bid. “8 million!”

8 million?

Yao Mengqing’s expression changed and her smile vanished.

Everyone stared at her in shock.

Normally, the auction process involved increases of 100,000 yuan or 1,000,000 yuan. They had never seen someone like her who directly raised the price to 8 million yuan. Even the auctioneer was stunned..
