Chapter 183: Chapter 183: We Can Lend You Some Money
Auctions were not unfamiliar with situations where a guest would bid on an item without having the money to pay for it.
As soon as Bai Chuwei uttered the words “I don’t have the money,” the corridor outside the private room silently filled with burly bodyguards.
The lady collecting the payment tried to smile and said, “Is it because Miss, your funds are not rolling over well? Our auction house is dedicated to service, and we can assist with mortgage loans. May I ask if you have any property under Miss Bai’s name?”
Bai Chuwei chuckled lowly, “Property? I do have some, but I’m reluctant to mortgage it.”
In the past five thousand years, she had acquired such a plethora of properties that many of the primeval hilltops belonged to her.
The smile on the collecting lady’s face started to falter, money wasn’t being offered, and the property wasn’t to be mortgaged either.
The serious look on Bai Chuwei’s face made them involuntarily believe that this client really wasn’t going to pay!
“I want to see your boss.”
The collecting lady’s smile gradually disappeared, and with an embarrassed air, she made a phone call with a cold tone, “Alright, please come this way, Miss.”
Bai Chuwei picked up the stack of Spirit Talismans on the table and followed, her smile brimming.
The strong hand of a man abruptly grabbed her wrist, and in the instant Bai Chuwei turned her head, her ink-black hair lightly brushed Duan Feihan’s cheek, sending a tingling sensation.
“I’ll accompany you,” said Duan Feihan, his expression stern. He knew a bit about the owner of this auction house, clearly not someone to be trifled with.
Bai Chuwei gave a secretive smile, “No need. Just wait for me in the private room.”
When Duan Feihan was distracted, Bai Chuwei reached out and pinched his face. His cool and handsome countenance flashed a trace of astonishment for an instant before Bai Chuwei let go and ran out laughing.
Qi Mo watched Duan Feihan with a gentle smile, “Fourth Master Duan, please take a seat. No need to worry.”
The person Qi Mo was least worried about in the world was the family ancestor.
Wherever she went, others were the ones who faced misfortune.
Duan Feihan furrowed his brows, looking at the calm Qi Mo playing with his phone, and suddenly asked, “What is your relationship with her?”
With a light laugh, Qi Mo replied softly, “Fourth Master Duan, although I can’t tell you what our relationship is, at least it’s not the kind you might think.”
He may not know what kind of woman he would like in the future, but it definitely wouldn’t be Bai Chuwei. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novel✦fire.net
Oh, none of the heirs in the eight great families who knew the truth would dare to covet the family ancestor.
Bai Ze beside him was puzzled, “What is Fourth Master Duan thinking?”
The private room number 03 was silent, while the outside of the auction house erupted into chaos as the departing guests chattered:
“Just now, private room 03 was frantically ringing the bell; I thought it was some big shot, but it turned out to be a young girl? Bid on an item and didn’t pay? She’s done for.”
“Hongmeng Auction House has a significant backing; toying with the auction house , if she’s not dead, she’ll certainly be skinned, right?”
“Seeking public attention?”
Tong Yunrou and Tong Qingyan, aunt and niece, went to the front desk to pay and retrieve the Spirit Talisman, when they turned around and saw Bai Chuwei being tightly guarded by a group of bodyguards, heading towards the third floor of the auction house.
Tong Yunrou was startled and quickly realized, “The person from private room 03 who sent the message was Bai Chuwei?”
Tong Qingyan almost burst out laughing because of Bai Chuwei.
Bai Chuwei couldn’t even afford to pay for the auction item she had won, yet she still had the service staff send a message telling them to spend carefully, cursing that the Tong Family would go bankrupt in a few days?
What exactly was going through her head?
Tong Qingyan and Tong Yunrou exchanged a look, then quickly walked towards Bai Chuwei.
Tong Qingyan took the initiative to speak, “Classmate Bai, are you having trouble with your finances? We can lend you some money.”
