Chapter 368: I'm not sure either

She was too beautiful, breathtakingly so.

Feng Yuanhong's heart was pounding wildly.

"She looked at me! She's looking at me! Good heavens, how did I have the courage to approach such a beauty? Should I just let our future children take her surname? What's her name? How come I've never seen her before?"

His inner thoughts were running wild.

Countless thoughts flooded his mind, causing his hands to tremble slightly, making him look like he was having a seizure.

Seeing someone speaking to her, Su Yuanshuang subconsciously turned her head.

She had initially thought Feng Yuanhong looked quite handsome, but... why wouldn't he stop trembling? Could it be the early signs of Parkinson's disease? Sigh, what a pity, to have Parkinson's at such a young age.

"Hello, I know some very good doctors. Hmm... looking at how young you are, there should still be hope for treatment."

Su Yuanshuang said very earnestly.

Feng Yuanhong: ????

"She... what does that mean? What's wrong with me? Could I have some incurable disease?"

"That's it! She must come from some major family in the medical field; perhaps she even learned some medicine and could tell what was wrong with me at a glance. It seems... now that she mentions it... my head really does hurt..."

He immediately lost all interest in hitting on her.

He hurriedly and anxiously said, "Goddess, did you see that I have some kind of illness? I've been to quite a few hospitals abroad, but my checkups were all normal. They just said I had too much time on my hands and shouldn't let my imagination run wild."

"If you're really sure, can you arrange treatment for me?"

He became more and more agitated as he spoke, to the point where he couldn't even hold his glass steady, and some of the wine spilled out.

Su Yuanshuang nodded with a sigh and said sympathetically, "You're shaking so violently all over, could it be the early signs of Parkinson's? Although I'm not a doctor, I've seen some patients like this; some uncles have this kind of trouble."

"If you need it, I can introduce you to the doctors they've seen."

"Sigh, although this disease cannot be cured, there are ways to alleviate it. We can't just leave it untreated."

Feng Yuanhong was stunned for a moment.

Only then did he understand what she meant by his illness.

His face immediately flushed red; it turned out it was all because he was too nervous, causing him to stutter. He quickly shook his head, preparing to explain, when he saw a pig's trotter extended toward him.

Zheng Qian wiped his mouth without any regard for his image and said excitedly, "Hurry and taste it, it really tastes great! Besides, pig skin is very good for beauty. Look at you, crow's feet are starting to appear at the corners of your eyes; shouldn't you hurry and get some nourishment?"

Hmm?

Su Yuanshuang was already starving.

Coupled with this pig's trotter, it almost made her completely lose her composure.

"Excuse me, please excuse me for a moment."

She nodded apologetically to Feng Yuanhong, then hurriedly pulled Zheng Qian to the side, clenching her small fist tightly. "Zheng Qian! You hateful scumbag! Don't you know I've been starving for a long time? Why do you have to tempt me with this kind of thing?"

"I saw you were hungry, so I wanted you to taste it!" Zheng Qian said with a serious expression as he handed it over. "It's really delicious."

"I... maybe... I'll just have one small bite?"

At this moment, Su Yuanshuang's heart began to struggle violently; she was already wavering.

Meanwhile, not far away, Feng Yuanhong was left in a state of utter confusion. Did she... did she already have a boyfriend?

Or was it that she loved pig's trotters more than handsome men?

"Please take your seats in an orderly fashion; the auction is about to begin."

As the host's voice rang out, Su Yuanshuang finally regained her composure.

She glared fiercely at Zheng Qian, told him to put the pig's trotter down immediately, and hurried him toward the venue at the front.

There were many people present today.

Most of them were socialites from Shenzhen, as well as some wealthy gentry from Shanghu. This charity gala was organized by a local capital association; perhaps they felt that the faces of capitalists were too detestable, so they thought of using this method to improve their image.

The auction items in the first few sessions were small-scale, purely formalistic affairs.

But as the cycle of hosting continued, it was inevitable that some sense of competition would arise.

Everyone hoped to gain a good reputation and have their own items be highly sought after.

"There are many auction items here, but I don't know which one Pei Moyan provided..."

Su Yuanshuang flipped through the auction catalog, deep in thought.

The setup here was actually very formal, following the format of a normal, traditional auction, with all the auction items compiled into a catalog. It had everything, from antiques to modern jewelry, a truly complete variety.

"The second to last one, that ring."

Zheng Qian said calmly.

Hearing this, Su Yuanshuang hurriedly flipped the auction catalog to the last page.

Sure enough, it was a jade ring that looked relatively ordinary. But while the design was plain, the quality of the jade was anything but ordinary. You could tell just from the starting bid: 200,000!

Of course, there was definitely an element of inflated value.

Anyway, the final transaction amount would be donated directly to welfare organizations, so no one cared about its true value.

"The person who provided this ring is named Liu Luxin, who should be a close friend of Pei Moyan or something similar. She is relatively low-key and knows that many people will try to curry favor with her, so she deliberately used someone else's identity."

"Then how do you know?"

"Money talks." Zheng Qian laughed and whispered, "This time, Pei Moyan is traveling completely low-key, so the Sun Family shouldn't have noticed yet. Moreover, they have contacted the Pei family many times in private without success, so they have probably given up. Even if they really knew she was here, they probably wouldn't come."

Su Yuanshuang heard this and was lost in thought.

She couldn't help but ask, "Then how can you be sure you can use this opportunity to reach a cooperation with Pei Moyan?"

"I don't have any certainty either."

Zheng Qian answered honestly.

"You don't have..."

Su Yuanshuang was stunned for a long time and couldn't help but roll her eyes violently. Good heavens, she really didn't know what possessed her to actually believe Zheng Qian and come here. It turned out he didn't have any certainty either, so what was the point of coming?

"But we have to try, don't we?"

"When the time comes, you'll be responsible for bidding, and I'll be responsible for paying. In short, we must win it at the highest price in the entire venue. That way, at least we'll have a chance to make contact with her, because according to custom, the items are to be handed over privately after the auction ends."

She sighed.

There was no help for it; since she was already here, she had to give it a try.

And since Zheng Qian was paying...

"Hmph, making a fool of me; I'll make sure you bleed money!"

Just then, the auction finally officially began.

Pei Moyan and her companions arrived late, wearing sunglasses, and sat very low-key in the middle-back rows. The people around them probably couldn't imagine that sitting next to them was the young heiress of a group with a market value of billions.
