123: Chapter 123 Charity Auction

"Don't cause trouble. We've come back this time just to see the situation," Hong Zhiyao reminded her.

"I know, I'll listen to you." Although Qiu Hui was unhappy, she still held back her temper and didn't go to provoke the three of them.

Gao Ying and the others were not people who liked to look for trouble either; as long as they didn't come to cause trouble, she wouldn't take the initiative to provoke them.

Although Qiu Hui didn't actively provoke trouble, she was secretly competing with them.

Whenever the three of them picked up a bag, she would find one of the same price and have the sales assistant wrap it up.

"Sister Ying, she's not coming at us openly, but she's secretly competing with us." Xi Yutang thought this Qiu Hui was too stupid.

She didn't even know how much money she had on her, yet she dared to act like this.

"If she likes to follow, then let her follow to her heart's content." The bags in this store really caught Gao Ying's eye.

She bought ten bags by herself, Lou Zhiwei picked out five, and Xi Yutang also picked out five.

A total of twenty bags, and the final bill wasn't much, only a little over forty million.

"What? Over forty million?" Qiu Hui had been following the three of them, so she had also picked up twenty bags.

But when she heard the final amount, she couldn't stay calm.

Her voice wasn't quiet, and quite a few people looked over.

Seeing the look of anticipation for a good show on Xi Yutang's face, Qiu Hui bit the bullet and borrowed some money from Hong Zhiyao.

Only then was she able to buy all the bags.

"Sister Ying, let's continue shopping. We've only spent four hundred million today; it's really too little." As she passed the three of them, Xi Yutang intentionally provoked them.

Gao Ying smiled and tapped her nose: "Alright, just say whatever you like. We still need to spend over ten billion today. When we get to the charity gala tonight, just tell Sister if you see anything you like."

Gao Ying also played along with her.

However, as they were leaving, Gao Ying glanced at the woman who had remained silent all along through the wall mirror.

This person was very low-key in front of Qiu and Hong; she had hardly been heard speaking at all.

Qiu Hui's attitude towards her wasn't very good either, just like how one would order around a servant at home.

That girl looked weak and delicate, as if a gust of wind could blow her away.

"Interesting. Fugui, same old rules." Gao Ying didn't know the woman's name.

Otherwise, she could just check when she got home, but she was quite busy today, so it would be faster to use Fugui to check.

【Sister, that woman's name is Yu Zhimian. This woman is quite something; she has ambiguous relationships with the men of the Qiu Family and the Hong Family.

However, they just maintain these ambiguous relationships; nothing substantial has happened.

This Yu Zhimian wants the relationship between the two families to break.】

"Hearing you say that, I can almost guess that it must be these two families who caused her family to be ruined." As for the revenge plot, she could guess it with her eyes closed.

Fugui: 【That's not right, Sister guessed wrong this time. Yu Zhimian never had parents since she was young; she grew up in an orphanage.

She has known since childhood what to do to maximize her own interests. The Hong Family and the Qiu Family are her stepping stones.】

"Quite ambitious. To think she only treats the two families as stepping stones. Her main target wouldn't be the royal family of the Sun Never Sets Country, would it?" Gao Ying really hadn't expected her to have such big ambitions.

【Bingo, Sister guessed right. She also knows her own conditions aren't great, so she relied on her abilities to go to the Sun Never Sets Country and scouted for stepping stones there.

At first, it was some small families, and slowly she hooked up with the Qiu and Hong families.】

"With Hong Zhiyao's capabilities, didn't she see through Yu Zhimian's ambition?" Gao Ying asked.

【Although Yu Zhimian disguises herself very well, she is indeed still a bit immature. Hong Zhiyao is also very scheming; she grew up in the Hong Family and learned all the scheming tactics.

However, she didn't refuse to let Yu Zhimian tag along. You humans' schemes are really quite terrifying.

Looking soft and harmless, but full of bad intentions inside. We systems are better.】 Fugui couldn't help but complain.

Gao Ying: "Yes, yes, yes, you're the best."

"Fugui, do I have an identity in the Sun Never Sets Country?" Gao Ying remembered promising to accompany Huo Yunci to the Sun Never Sets Country and asked Fugui.

【Yes, but it requires you to unlock it. Once you go to the Sun Never Sets Country to do tasks, you will have a corresponding identity.】 Fugui explained.

Hearing him say this, Gao Ying felt relieved.

No matter where you go, having an identity is the most practical thing.

After finally spending one billion at the mall, the three of them immediately went to get their styling done.

Heartless received the message and immediately went to pick them up.

The Bai Family charity gala was held at the Weil Hotel.

Come to think of it, she even had shares in the Weil Hotel; although not many, she was still a small shareholder, wasn't she?

Xi Yan and Lou Jingyao were waiting for the three of them outside the hotel.

"Baby, you've really made a name for yourself today. Now, the upper circles of the Imperial Capital all know of a lady surnamed Gao who spent one billion in one go at the Diyao Mall." Lou Jingyao teased her.

"Sigh, spending money is too tiring, and earning money is also too tiring. Why is it so hard to just lie flat?" Gao Ying said, looking very troubled.

"Ying'er, you can only say that in front of us. If you say that outside, I'm afraid you'll get beaten up." Xi Yan said solemnly.

"Never mind others, I saw Sister Ying like this today, and my fists are a bit itchy." Xi Yutang said, raising her small fist.

"Where's Huo Yunci?" Gao Ying only remembered that someone seemed to be missing after she entered the elevator.

"He went to communicate with Kong Liuzhu first, so that your people can smoothly rescue her when the time comes." Xi Yan explained.

Gao Ying nodded. Today, Kong Liuzhu would attend the banquet with Fake Huo Liang, and Huo Ling would come along too.

Arriving at the banquet hall, the celebrities from all walks of life had almost all arrived, and not long after, Huo Yunci also came over to find them.

"I've already spoken with her. When the time comes, she and Huo Ling will leave with your people." Huo Yunci sat down opposite her.

"That's Fake Huo Liang. I didn't expect you to be able to hold back when seeing him. Not bad." Gao Ying also saw that Huo Liang, who was chatting and laughing with others.

"It's not really about holding back. In any case, our father-son relationship has never been harmonious, so if I give him a cold face, no one will suspect anything." After a night, Huo Yunci had long since calmed down.

After tonight, we'll first get this person under control, and then go to deal with the Hong Family.

"Today we ran into the Qiu Family girl and the Hong Family girl. The Qiu Family girl is a spoiled young lady; you can see through her at a glance.

That Hong Family girl is a bit troublesome; she's better at disguising herself. You all should be careful." Gao Ying urged them.

"Is Baby afraid that she will use a honey trap?" Lou Jingyao asked.

Gao Ying: "Don't underestimate women; there is more than one kind of scheme. Also, that Yu Zhimian beside them is also scheming. It's not that I don't trust you, but some methods are impossible to guard against.

In any case, you must be careful."

"Understood, we will be careful." The few of them had never underestimated the methods of women in high society.

"Welcome, distinguished guests, to this charity gala hosted by our Bai Family. I am the heir of the Bai Family, Bai Jue."

After Bai Jue finished his introduction, enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience.

"All the auction items today have been donated by various individuals. We shall see who they go to in the end, and who will be the Charity Star tonight." After Bai Jue finished speaking, he yielded the position to the auctioneer.
