I Got Together With the Fake Heiress - Chapter 32

With a pleasant voice and excellent looks, such an auctioneer could add value to the auction items, especially for the entrepreneurs who didn’t bring family members. They wouldn’t mind paying extra to earn a beautiful woman’s smile.

“This is a limited edition diamond necklace, worn only once since its purchase, and perfectly maintained…” After the customary flattery, the auctioneer announced the starting price. “Starting bid is 300,000 yuan. Gentlemen, you may begin bidding.”

“Number 5, 320,000 yuan.”

“Number 10, 350,000 yuan. 350,000 once…”

Most people gave up when the price soared to 500,000 yuan. It was then that Wen Yimeng raised her paddle.

“Number 16, 550,000 yuan. Is there any bid higher than 550,000 yuan?” the auctioneer asked, her gaze locking onto Wen Yimeng, her lips curving into a smile.

“This auctioneer is so beautiful…” Wen Yimeng looked at the person with a hint of admiration, her eyes involuntarily sliding down. After glancing at the woman’s bosom, she quickly withdrew her gaze.

According to domestic standards, that must be a D, right? Although it’s not the biggest I’ve ever seen, the shape is definitely the best, seriously!

Seeing Wen Yimeng’s slightly red cheeks, Wen Yunqing’s expression turned serious. Since this fox spirit already had a legitimate human identity, why wasn’t she behaving herself and instead boldly trying to seduce her Darling Yimeng?

The most annoying thing was that Darling Yimeng was actually moved! Was she really inferior to that fox spirit?!

Wen Yunqing squeezed Wen Yimeng’s palm, snatching the number paddle from her hand and raising it to bid.

“Number 16 bids again, 700,000 yuan. 700,000 once…” The auctioneer shifted her gaze to Wen Yunqing. The moment their eyes met, the hair on the back of her neck suddenly stood up.

Danger! This woman in the suit is very dangerous! She has clear hostility towards me!

“700,000 thrice! Congratulations to number 16 for acquiring this diamond necklace.” The sudden rush of danger made Fu Sanqiu unwilling to stall, and she quickly hammered the sale.

While introducing the next item, Wen Yimeng curiously asked, “Why did you suddenly become interested in that necklace?”

“Nothing. I just find the auctioneer quite interesting.” Wen Yunqing certainly wouldn’t admit that she was being ridiculously jealous, nor would she admit that her charm couldn’t compete with the fox spirit’s!

“You think so too?” Wen Yimeng sighed in her own world. “This auctioneer sister is one of the most beautiful people I’ve ever seen. I feel like she could enter the entertainment industry and become a star.”

“Very beautiful?” Such direct praise was like kicking over Wen Yunqing’s vinegar jar, making her extremely, extremely sour. “Is she more beautiful than me?”

“Huh?” Wen Yimeng paused, then said, “You two are different types. You have beautiful facial features and a neutral handsomeness. The auctioneer is alluringly beautiful—she’s a walking human chest!”

Alluringly beautiful? Does Yimeng like the alluring type? Wen Yunqing fell into thought, her gaze lingering on the auctioneer. If she wanted to be alluring, should she grow her hair long and wear that kind of dress?

No, no. That kind of revealing dress doesn’t suit my taste. If she actually wore it, many people’s eyes would probably be blinded.

If I can’t be alluring, why don’t I just take care of the alluring person? Anyway, the other party is a fox spirit. I’ll just consider it punishing evil and promoting good, right?

Fu Sanqiu quickly noticed a murderous aura fixed on her. After a quick assessment, she identified the source of the killing intent.

But Fu Sanqiu was confused. She had been strictly keeping to herself recently, earning money solely through her own abilities. Why was someone still targeting her even now?

This person looks only about twenty years old, right? Is this a newcomer to the Association? Another one trying to step on me to establish authority? Am I that unlucky?!

Fu Sanqiu, at this moment, had no idea that the origin of all this was the smile she showed a young girl, causing a certain someone to be overwhelmingly jealous and directly redirect the anger onto her.

“This is a work by Mr. Liu, the current Vice President of the China Artists Association…” Fu Sanqiu suppressed her pounding heart and continued the introduction. Until the end of the auction, she had to play the role of a qualified auctioneer.

“Number 16 bids 500,000 yuan directly. 500,000 once. Does anyone wish to bid higher?” Fu Sanqiu’s gaze met Wen Yunqing’s again. After less than a second of eye contact, she couldn’t handle it and immediately shifted her gaze to Wen Yimeng beside her.

Then, Fu Sanqiu realized the killing intent directed at her had intensified again.

What is wrong with this Association newcomer! She’s releasing murderous intent without even considering the occasion! Have they become this brazen? Won’t the authorities step in?!

The painting, with a starting price of only 100,000 yuan, usually sold for around 300,000 yuan. Hearing Wen Yunqing’s offer, no one raised their paddle again, and the deal was quickly closed with the hammer.

Ten minutes later, the remaining two auction items were also sold for around one million yuan, and the charity auction was officially concluded.

“Yunqing, do you want to attend the dinner party later?” Wen Yimeng asked. “If not, we can pick up the auction items and go home. If you want to go, we’ll wait until the dinner is over.”

“Did you and Mom go last year?” Wen Yunqing asked, keeping an eye on Fu Sanqiu’s location from the corner of her eye.

Wen Yimeng nodded. “But Mom and I didn’t stay long then. We just ate a little and came back.”

“I’m fine either way. Do you want to go, Yimeng?” Wen Yunqing asked.

Wen Yimeng’s expression was conflicted. “Last year, I heard many celebrities were also present. I kind of want to see them, but Mom said the situation there is complicated and not suitable for me…”

“The celebrities are likely there for their own benefit, probably involving some not-so-clean deals,” Wen Yunqing said, rubbing her chin. “If you want to go, then go. Those things have nothing to do with us. We just won’t interfere.”

“Okay, let’s go!” Curiosity momentarily overruled logic, and the sense of reliability Wen Yunqing gave her completely dispelled Wen Yimeng’s remaining worries.

The dinner party was as Wen Yunqing expected. Everyone who could attend was either rich or noble, and since Wen Yimeng also had some reputation in the circle, the two of them didn’t encounter anything unpleasant.

The only thing Wen Yunqing found dissatisfying was seeing Fu Sanqiu, who had changed into a different outfit. The woman was holding a wine glass, navigating skillfully and gracefully through the crowd, with an alluring smile constantly on her face.

“Miss Fu, why don’t you consider entering the industry?” a middle-aged man said to Fu Sanqiu with a grin. Although he wasn’t as pot-bellied as his peers, he wasn’t much better, looking quite sleazy.

“I just invested in a web drama, and I happen to be looking for a visually stunning female lead,” the man said with a smile, his unwanted hand already placed on Fu Sanqiu’s.

Fu Sanqiu smiled back at the man. She said something, and the man quickly withdrew his hand, then started drinking glass after glass of wine.

Ugly thing. You look like that and dare to approach me. A mere web drama female lead? I just need to crook my finger, and plenty of people would be willing to invest.

Just as Fu Sanqiu turned to leave with a look of disdain, her eyes met Wen Yunqing’s. Compared to the auction, Wen Yunqing’s killing intent towards Fu Sanqiu had lessened, mostly transforming into curiosity.

Not sensing immediate danger, Fu Sanqiu didn’t avoid Wen Yunqing’s gaze, but instead walked towards them with a smile.

“Two little sisters, do you remember me?” Fu Sanqiu stood between the two, greeting them in a friendly manner.

Fu Sanqiu was betting that with so many people present, even if this person was a newcomer to the Association, they wouldn’t dare make a move here.

“You’re the auctioneer sister from before,” Wen Yimeng said, her tone slightly excited. She couldn’t help but glance again at the woman’s ample chest.

Wuwu, I’m so jealous. I only have a modest B.

“That’s right. My name is Fu Sanqiu. And what is yours, little sister?” Fu Sanqiu asked with a smile. Although she didn’t deliberately do anything, her voice still sounded alluring.

“She is mine. I am Wen Yunqing,” Wen Yunqing interjected, fully drawing Fu Sanqiu’s attention to herself. “Miss Fu, are you here for something specific?”

“The two of you successfully bid on two items at the auction, totaling over a million yuan. I wanted to express my gratitude on behalf of those who will receive the donations,” Fu Sanqiu said with a smile, her words impeccable.

Wen Yunqing raised an eyebrow. “I accept your gratitude. If possible, I hope Miss Fu can diligently follow up on where those funds go, ensuring they are used as intended.”

“Of course. Our company will cooperate with relevant organizations to track the flow of this fund. That Wen sister can check our company’s official website later~”

After observing them up close, Fu Sanqiu grew bolder. Although Wen Yunqing’s attitude towards her wasn’t great, her aura was very clean, without the slightest hint of resentment. She didn’t seem like someone who had taken a life. She must not be some reckless person. The killing intent she showed earlier was probably because she recognized my true identity.

Fu Sanqiu’s line of thought was mostly correct, but she completely overlooked another, highly unlikely possibility.

Most people without resentment are good people, but they could also be extremely powerful individuals—so strong that the resentment of others wouldn’t dare approach them.

Take Wen Yunqing, for example. She had killed a human trafficking boss and a fierce ghost. If her power hadn’t exceeded theirs, she would inevitably have some lingering resentment on her person.

“This is my business card. If you need anything, the two of you can contact me.” Fu Sanqiu produced a business card from nowhere and placed it in Wen Yimeng’s hand with a smile.

“Thank you, I’ll keep it safe.” Wen Yimeng seriously looked at the content on the card, mentally linking the name Fu Sanqiu to the beautiful woman in the red dress standing before her.

“Then I won’t bother you two sisters any longer.” After handing over the card, Fu Sanqiu boldly winked at Wen Yimeng.

Just as Fu Sanqiu turned to leave, Wen Yunqing suddenly spoke, her expression subtle. “Miss Fu, you should really change your perfume next time.”

“Why?” Fu Sanqiu instinctively asked.

“Because this perfume is not very pleasant,” Wen Yunqing said, then lowered her voice. “And it doesn’t mask the fox smell on you.”

Fu Sanqiu’s pupils contracted. This person can smell me?

Impossible. She had been cultivating as a human for a century. Unless it was one of the Association’s Elders, no one should be able to see through her true form that quickly, let alone smell her.

“Did someone from the Association tell you?” Fu Sanqiu asked in a low voice. After ruling out all impossible options, the remainder should be the truth.

“Miss Fu, goodbye,” Wen Yunqing said with a smile. She had no intention of continuing the conversation with Fu Sanqiu.

Fu Sanqiu was hesitant. She couldn’t gauge the strength of the person in front of her. Such a person was either a newcomer to the Association, only half-skilled, or someone even more formidable than her, with profound hidden power.

“Then I look forward to our next meeting.” Fu Sanqiu decided to back down for now.

She needed to investigate this person’s background to see if the opponent was just bluffing with existing information, or genuinely capable.

If it was the former, she would certainly retaliate.

If it was the latter…

She should probably tuck her tail between her legs and run.
