Mu Yan rembered that the woman referred to as Mrs. Gao had once appeared at Lu Hao’s birthday party.
It seed that Lan Xi didn’t get along with her.
The two of them locked eyes, and Mu Yan collected herself, only to see Zhao Xiyue looking at her with a provocative expression, filled with disdain.
Mu Yan was sowhat baffled. Had she ever offended her?
The host on stage shouted, "One million once, one million twice..."
Mu Yan snapped back to reality and imdiately raised her paddle.
The host looked over and said with a smile, "Miss Mu Yan bids one and a half million, any higher bids?"
No sooner had the words fallen than she glanced at Zhao Jia Min’s side and imdiately laughed, "Mrs. Gao bids two million."
Mu Yan glanced at Zhao Jia Min; she was also looking at her, as if her eyes were saying, go on, keep bidding!
She nodded slightly in her direction and raised her paddle again.
The host imdiately said, "Miss Mu Yan bids two and a half million, any higher bids?"
Zhao Jia Min curled her lips and raised her paddle.
"Three million, my goodness, Mrs. Gao bids three million!" the host exclaid in surprise, "Mr. Zhang Chu will surely be gratified to know one of his albums can fetch such a high price."
Mu Yan frowned slightly. Three million for an album? Is she out of her mind? Charity doesn’t work like this!
Suddenly, Ning Shishen’s voice ca to her ear, "Looks like she’s targeting you. If you want this album, I can help you get it. She should give this courtesy."
Mu Yan looked at Ning Shishen, "Brother Ning, do you know her?"
"Yes, we were elentary school classmates, and our families have interacted from ti to ti."
"Oh." Mu Yan nodded, muttering, "I don’t rember ever offending her."
Ning Shishen looked at her in surprise, "You don’t know who she is?"
Mu Yan looked at him and shook her head.
Ning Shishen didn’t know what to say. Had Jiang Jingheng been protecting her too well, or was he simply indifferent, not even telling her about potential enemies?
"She’s Zhao Xiyue’s sister, Zhao Jia Min, also the wife of the chairman of Yuanfeng Group."
Mu Yan was enlightened; so she was Zhao Xiyue’s sister, no wonder she was being targeted.
Zhao Jia Min, Jia Min...
Mu Yan’s eyelid twitched; the na sounded sowhat familiar.
She looked at Zhao Jia Min in the distance, wearing a stunning red gown. Since she was called Mrs. Gao, she must be married.
An inkling of a guess took root in her mind.
The host on stage said, "Three million once, three million twice, three million..."
"I bid five million!" Mu Yan suddenly shouted, holding up her paddle.
The attention of everyone in the hall instantly turned to Mu Yan.
Five million might not be much for these people, but an album was definitely not worth that price.
So was this rising star of the film industry deliberately challenging Mrs. Gao of Yuanfeng Group?
This was certainly audacious of her, akin to a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
Of course, when they noticed Ning Shishen standing beside her, more than a few people understood; soone was backing her.
Ning Shishen saw that Mu Yan continued to bid and showed no reaction. With him around, he wouldn’t let her be embarrassed.
Zhao Jia Min saw Mu Yan raise the bid and was filled with sarcasm.
Just a little star, daring to act invincible just because she’s favored by n?
She followed up with her bid, "Six million!"
Mu Yan finally heard her voice, confirming that she was the woman ssing around with Lu Hao that night.
She shouted, "Seven million!"
Zhao Jia Min was relentless, "Eight million!"
"Nine million!"
"Ten million!" Zhao Jia Min looked triumphantly at Mu Yan, no matter how she bid, she would always outbid her!
Mu Yan t Zhao Jia Min’s gaze and smiled slightly, "Since Mrs. Gao likes this album so much, I will step back then. Congratulations to Mrs. Gao!"
