'He Xinyan scratched her head and realized why the auctioneer had said Gu Yechen was a very generous donor. By the end of this auction

the orphanage would be even richer than her!'

'After the number had reached 50000

a few people lowered their paddles and stopped calling. By 80000

it was only four people fighting amongst themselves.'

'When the elderly woman called 80000

the three other ladies hesitated. They were the daughters of wealthy families and their fathers had given them a budget for the auction. For most

it was under 50000

and the number has way surpassed it already.'

'The woman smiled triumphantly as she looked around the room

almost as if she was saying

'Gu Yechen's item is mine now.''

'”Number 37 has bid 80000 dollars! Anyone else?”'

'When everyone thought that the bidding was closed

a lady sitting at the very back of the room raised her paddle

”100 thousand dollars!”'

'Everyone

including He Xinyan

whipped their heads around simultaneously

and a few of the people gasped.'

'”It's Shen Xiner! The daughter of the Shen family. Isn't she and Gu Yechen. . .”'

'He Xinyan also recognized the woman. She showed up on television often with her parents as she was the only daughter of the prestigious Shen family.'

'The Shen family was also one of the largest and most powerful families in Country Z

and they worked together with the Gu family often.'

'After calling the number

Shen Xiner sat back down proudly with a cold expression. As the only child in the Shen family

of course

she was treated like a princess

and she was like a proud peacock outside.'

'”Miss Shen has just raised the bid to 100000! Anyone else?”'

'The elderly woman cleared her throat and looked down. Although she really wanted Gu Yechen's item

100 thousand dollars for some cookies was a little too much. Plus

fighting with the treasure of the Shen family wasn't a very smart decision.'

'The Shen family was less powerful than the almighty Gu family

but they were probably in the top 3. Therefore

few people dared to offend them.'

'Offending the daughter of the Shen family was even worse than offending her parents

as the Shen family practically revolved around Shen Xiner and the Shen Corporation would also be going to her.'

'Everyone fell silent and they were sure that the cookies would be going to Shen Xiner.'

'”Going once! Going twice! S-”'

'”1 million.”'
