An Mingji’s hand was held down by his eldest brother, and he knew that this ti the Mu Family would brush past Night Paradise.
On stage, the host announced, "Fifty-seven million once! Fifty-seven million twice, fifty-seven million three tis! Sold!"
"Congratulations to number six, Night Paradise is yours!"
"Clap clap clap——"
"Clap clap clap clap——"
The surrounding people applauded one after another.
Qiu Qianghai stood up unhurriedly, first nodding lightly to the Mu brothers, then waving to those cheering for him.
Soone asked, "Who is this person? How co I’ve never seen him before?"
"Who knows, stealing from the Mu Family’s mouth, no idea where he hails from."
"Who cares where he’s from, daring to snatch food from the Mu Family, life won’t be easy——"
"That’s not necessarily true, look who is sitting next to him, and the man and woman who were previously invited upstairs are with him."
At this remark, the people nearby fell silent.
Indeed, those invited upstairs by the Darwin Family cannot be ordinary people.
Mu Zifan and Mu Ziyu, the brothers, stood up and approached Qiu Qianghai.
The eldest Mu’s tone was polite yet distant, "Congratulations."
"It’s thanks to Mu’s generosity."
Qiu Qianghai smiled appropriately and calmly, showing no servility despite Mu’s status.
Mu Zifan nodded at Wanqi Jingyi, who stood up, "The auction is over, Ziyu and I will head back first. If anything cos up, contact by phone."
Wanqi Jingyi: "Okay, see you later."
The rest of the people also started to leave.
Upstairs.
Gu Jin saw Qiu Qianghai acquire Night Paradise for fifty-seven million, and a smile ford at her lip corners, saving three million.
An Mingji caught sight of the smile on her face, and his thin lips also slightly curled up.
An Feng, sitting on the sofa, got up and slowly walked over to the two.
"I’m returning ho tomorrow, Mingji, can I et your parents?"
An Feng wanted to take An Mingji with her, but it was too abrupt right now.
Her sister had long passed away, yet left An Mingji for her, whose resemblance to her sister provided so consolation.
She had no children of her own, so her sister’s grandson was her flesh and blood, and she was willing to give everything to this child.
An Mingji turned around to face the approaching An Feng, saying gently, "They’re all gone."
"Are they——"
From the child’s eyes, An Feng saw reminiscence, resentnt, and a myriad of emotions.
She felt things might not be as well as she had imagined.
Despite An Mingji’s decently dressed appearance, one could not deceive with their eyes, which bore the marks of endured hardships.
She reached out to grasp An Mingji’s hand, tenderly saying, "Child, tell about yourself."
Before An Mingji could speak, Gu Jin disengaged his hand.
She smiled, "Xiao An, you talk to Auntie, I’ll go downstairs to handle so matters."
An Mingji’s eyes were filled with resistance, he opened his mouth to say sothing but was silenced by Gu Jin’s subsequent words.
"Be good, I’ll be back soon, you can call anyti."
"Got it——"
An Mingji reluctantly agreed.
Seeing the boy agree, Gu Jin politely said to An Feng, "I’ll head down if there’s nothing else."
"Go on, child."
Kasi personally escorted Gu Jin outside.
An Mingji watched her departing figure, the warmth in his eyes slowly fading, replaced by coldness and depth.
All of this was observed by An Feng.
"You like that girl."
The old lady asserted with certainty.
