Chapter 268
Chapter 268: 0268 Thank you Chapter 268: 0268 Thank you Su Xinyan glanced at Su Ran with a sense of triumph.
Su Ran raised her eyebrows, calculating that eight million should be Su Xinyan’s limit.
She put down her paddle and decided not to continue bidding. Seeing this, Xinyan’s expression slightly retracted.
“Row six has bid eight million, is there anyone else looking to bid? Is there anyone p>
The Auctioneer excitedly called out to the audience.
Su Ran curled her lips, but saw the man beside her about to raise his paddle again. She shivered and quickly grabbed his hand.
A fragrant scent suddenly enveloped her, and Fu Qiyuan turned to look at Su Ran. He saw her winking at him persistently, and within her clear, starry eyes shone a brilliant light, twinkling and carrying an undertone of slyness.
Fu Qiyuan’s dark gaze flickered, watching her signal with her eyes, and he curled his lips, letting out a low chuckle.
Seeing he understood her, Su Ran also breathed a sigh of relief and casually drew back her hand.
“Sorry, my hand slipped. Did I bump into you p>
Fu Qiyuan’s gaze fell on Su Ran’s face, observing her earnest expression, and he raised an eyebrow.
“I did bump into something p>
Su Ran with an expressionless face, full of disbelief.
Fu Qiyuan leaned in close to her, his warm breath against her neck.
“It bumped into my heart p>
His low, mellow voice was filled with a seductive tease, causing the tips of Su Ran’s ears to quietly redden.
“Cough p>
She glared at the man, sat up straight, then looked toward the stage, seemingly composed, but her face was overly stiff, and her heart kept pounding relentlessly.
Fu Qiyuan laughed softly again, withdrawing his gaze from her face, the upward curve of his lips indicating his good mood.
Aside from Ye Zhichen and Mr. Yun Feng, nobody else noticed this little interlude; everyone’s attention was focused on the stage.
Mr. Yun Feng’s deep gaze rested on the two of them, becoming increasingly profound.
Onstage, the Auctioneer continued.
“Eight million for the first time p>
“Eight million for the second time p>
“Eight million for the third time p>
Seeing no further bids, the Auctioneer called, “Sold p>
“Bang p>
The gavel hit, sealing the deal!
“Thank you Miss Xinyan from row six for your selfless charitable donation, and congratulations to the donor of the cufflinks, Mr. Yun Feng, for raising seven million five hundred thousand for charity p>
The Auctioneer led the applause, and as people snapped back to reality, they joined in.
In an instant, thunderous applause filled every corner of the venue.
Su Ran turned around, giving Su Xinyan a grateful look, and mouthed two words silently.
“Thank you p>
Su Xinyan’s face darkened drastically, clouds of anger gathering over her beautiful features.
Bitch!
Su Ran, that bitch, had been scheming against her from the very beginning.
She spent eight million on cufflinks worth only fifty thousand, and yet the seven hundred and fifty thousand in charitable funds was as if preparing a wedding dress for someone else.
Now, the applause from the entire venue was like slaps to her face, humiliating and resounding, reminding her how foolish she’d been.
Su Xinyan was so angry she could explode, especially seeing the smile on Su Ran’s face. For a moment, she really wanted to rush over and tear her apart.
“Brother Heng, sister… she did it on purpose p>
Looking up at Gu Heng, her face displayed restrained hurt and vulnerability.
That look on her was yet another guise of someone bullied and targeted by Su Ran.
Gu Heng pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling weary.
“Xinyan, you were just too impulsive p>
Su Xinyan’s face stiffened, disbelief etched across her features as she looked at Gu Heng, tears brimming in her eyes.
