24: Chapter 24 Xi Yutang

"Thank you, Your Highness, but we aren't interested in these," Yin Ren replied, lounging in his chair.

"Fine, just let me know if you see something you like later." She wouldn't force them if they didn't want to bid.

As the auction list was nearing its end, Gao Ying was drawn to a pink diamond.

"Miss, this 'Heart of Eternity' pink diamond is 340 carats, the largest pink diamond in the world. Legend has it that it once belonged to a princess and is imbued with the romantic legend of 'Eternal True Love.' The transaction price is 10 billion," Xu Tian introduced, seeing her interest.

"I want this." Gao Ying truly liked this pink diamond, so she decided to take it.

(The carat count of the pink diamond is made up by the author, please don't take it too seriously.)

The Hidden Guards showed no expression at her extravagant spending, as if this were a very ordinary occurrence.

Xu Tian knew her identity, so he was also calm. But Shen Xuan and Lu Li were different.

Both of them felt shocked today.

10 billion!

This is 10 billion!

Why did it sound like 100 yuan when it came out of Miss Gao's mouth?

If it were a few hundred million, they might still be able to afford it, but 10 billion just for a pink diamond—they really couldn't afford that.

"Wait, I want this one too."

Xu Tian looked over; it was the lost imperial seal.

"Miss, this auction item was brought over by Sakura Country. They have prepared 50 billion specifically to take this item back."

"Guibao, are you sure the card given by the system can be used without a spending limit?" Gao Ying asked Fugui to be on the safe side.

[Sister, feel free to swipe it. If you're worried, just complete today's task.]

[Ding, daily task: The host needs to spend 10 billion today. Success rewards you with an unlimited spending limit on the dragon abyss black gold card for today. There is no penalty for failure.]

"Hmm, inquire about the pink diamond as usual. If there are no other bids, take it for 10 billion.

If someone bids, increase it by 100 million based on their bid.

I must take this imperial seal today." Gao Ying's eyes showed her determination to win the imperial seal.

"Very well, Miss. I will arrange for someone to inquire immediately."

Xu Tian went to handle the task, and the private room fell into silence for a moment.

"Miss, everyone has given up on bidding for the pink diamond." Not long after, Xu Tian came in to report.

"Fine, swipe the card. As for the imperial seal, we'll wait until the auction.

I want to make the people from Sakura Country so angry they vomit blood."

The pink diamond was brought over, and the money was swiped on the spot.

"A Lin, do you think such a large pink diamond should just be kept at home to admire?" Gao Ying picked up the pink diamond and held it under the light.

It was truly beautiful, but it was too big; even if it were set on a crown, it would appear too large.

"Your Highness can just keep it at home as a little trinket to enjoy." Yin Lin cut a piece of small cake for her.

"You keep it." Gao Ying tossed the pink diamond to him.

Her action scared Shen Xuan and Lu Li so much that their hearts nearly stopped beating.

Seeing Yin Lin catch it steadily, they let out a sigh of relief.

"Do you have to be so nervous?" Gao Ying looked at the two of them with amusement.

"Miss, that is a 10 billion item. How can we not be nervous?"

Seeing her so indifferent, Lu Li admitted that he was envious of the rich.

He never expected that the young master of the Lu family in Jiangcheng would one day be envious of the rich; it was truly surreal.

"By the way, Shen Xuan, are you prepared to change your surname to mine?" Gao Ying smiled harmlessly at him, then turned to ask Shen Xuan.

"If I can take Miss Gao's surname, it would be my honor." Shen Xuan did not refuse her proposal.

"Yin Feng, you go handle this when the time comes."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The auction began, and a woman dressed in a professional suit presided over the auction.

The initial auction items were all small things, and no one on the second floor participated.

Only the people on the first floor were competing fiercely.

Xi Yutang still couldn't resist her curiosity and snuck toward the third floor.

"Your Highness, the eldest daughter of the Xi Family is sneaking toward the third floor." Yin Zong brought over a computer.

"How cute. I'll go take a look." Watching the girl acting sneaky on the screen, Gao Ying was amused.

"Hehe, Sister Zhiwei said the third floor was dangerous, but didn't I still make it up here?

How could a daughter raised in the Xi Family be that incompetent?"

Arriving at the third floor, Xi Yutang didn't encounter any obstacles, so she felt she was quite impressive.

"Hmm, the children raised by the Xi Family are indeed quite impressive."

"Wow! Who? Who is speaking?" Xi Yutang was frightened by the voice, her own voice trembling.

"Although I'm not the most beautiful woman, I'm not scary, am I?" Gao Ying emerged from the corner with a beaming smile.

Seeing Gao Ying's face, Xi Yutang felt her little heart beating "thump-thump."

"Sister, you are so beautiful. I feel like I'm about to fall in love."

"That might disappoint you. I'm straight and only like men." Gao Ying really liked her little dimples and couldn't help but reach out and pinch them.

"What a pity. Sister, if you don't mind, how about I introduce my brother to you?

Although he always has an icy face, a weird temper, and doesn't have too much money..."

"Hehe." Gao Ying watched her voice get quieter and quieter, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Right, my brother has one advantage: he is handsome. I can show you a photo." Fearing that she wouldn't believe her, Xi Yutang took out her phone and flipped to a photo to show her.

"Beautiful sister, you don't know, my brother is very fierce. Every time he's unhappy, he docks my pocket money.

I secretly took this photo. That way, whenever he docks my money, I can use the photo to make money." Xi Yutang leaned close to her and whispered.

"Hmm, your brother is indeed handsome. Since you're up here, would you like to go to the Royal Court and sit for a while?" Gao Ying asked, looking at her with composure.

"Yes! I came up here just to see you, Sister. And I've long wanted to see the inside of the Royal Court, but unfortunately, I don't have the qualifications." Xi Yutang looked at her with sparkling eyes.

Gao Ying brought her back to the Royal Court.

"Eldest daughter of the Xi Family, next time you want to come up, just do it openly. Look at you, you don't look like a young lady at all."

After Gao Ying brought her to the private room and finished the introductions, Yin Ren brought up the video of Xi Yutang coming upstairs, hitting her with the evidence directly.

"Sister, is this subordinate of yours a single dog? He doesn't know how to coax a girl at all?" Xi Yutang shot him a glance, then turned to pull Gao Ying to complain.

"Hmm~ You're actually right. All ten of the men here are single from birth. As for these two, I'm not too sure." Gao Ying pointed to the Hidden Guards, Shen Xuan, and Lu Li.

"I am single now, and A Xuan is the same as them." Lu Li voluntarily confessed his romantic history.

"Is that so! Then this young lady will forgive you. After all, how would single people know the taste of love?"

Xi Yutang looked at Yin Ren with an arrogant and spoiled expression.

[Sister, this Xi Yutang is so fun. She's single from birth herself, but talks as if she's dated many people.] Fugui also chimed in.

Watching the two of them bicker like elementary school students, Gao Ying smiled helplessly. She beckoned Xu Tian over and told him to go down and inform the people who came with Xi Yutang that she was here.

In the number one private room on the second floor, Xi Yan discovered his sister was missing and sent people to look for her.

"No need to look. Yutang probably snuck off to the third floor by herself." Lou Zhiwei hadn't paid attention just now, but now that she realized she was missing and recalled what Yutang had said earlier, she stepped forward to say.
