Getting Bai Hanyun’s answer, the general manager of Gu Bao Auction House stood up and politely said, "Miss Bai, if you don’t mind, I can lead you to the banquet hall."
Bai Hanyun nodded at him, then turned to look at Yu Tianshuo and the others. "Master Yu, Master Li, Director, I will take my leave now."
Yu Tianshuo said, "I hope Miss Bai enjoys the banquet."
After saying their goodbyes, Bai Hanyun and Hua Yuyu followed the general manager and left the private room.
Once the door closed behind them, a group of n stepped out from a side room.
Yu Tianshuo looked at their leader and asked, "How is it, Captain Lei? Have you found anything wrong with Miss Bai?"
Lei Jingqian looked at the antiques on the low table for a mont, then at Yu Tianshuo, and replied, "I’m just doing my job. Since the source of these antiques is Miss Bai’s grandfather’s collection, we won’t pursue the matter any further."
After saying that, he motioned to his team and added, "Old Master Yu, we still have missions to complete, so we will take our leave."
Yu Tianshuo smiled and said, "Captain Lei, you are welco to visit us anyti."
Giving the antiques one last look, Lei Jingqian left with his team. After he was gone, the director of the national museum also took his leave.
Left alone with Li Qin, Yu Tianshuo sighed and said, "This Miss Bai is really sothing else. I doubt that these antiques were the late Chairman Bai’s private collection."
Li Qin glanced at him and comnted, "She does have a lot of secrets, but she is a good child."
Hearing this, Yu Tianshuo chuckled and said, "Don’t worry. Everyone has a secret. Since it’s her secret, then we should respect her and stop finding out about it."
"You are right." Li Qin nodded in agreent when he heard that.
While the two old n chatted and admired the antiques they had just purchased, Bai Hanyun and the others arrived at the banquet hall.
The general manager smiled and said, "Miss Bai, we have arrived at the banquet hall. Would you like to send a staff mber to guide you around?"
Bai Hanyun shook her head and politely declined his offer, "No need. I can look around myself."
Since the auction was starting in less than an hour, the general manager was very busy with the last-minute preparations.
Hearing this, he glanced at his watch briefly before saying, "Then I won’t disturb you any longer. I hope you enjoy your ti here."
He then took out a na card and handed it to Bai Hanyun. "If you need anything, feel free to let a staff mber know, or call directly."
"Alright." Bai Hanyun accepted the card and thanked him.
After the general manager left in a hurry, Bai Hanyun looked at Hua Yuyu and said, "It’s almost lunchti. Let’s get sothing to eat first."
Hua Yuyu nodded and followed her into the banquet hall. Just as Bai Hanyun took a step, a familiar voice called out from behind.
"Well, well, well. Look who is here."
Recognizing the annoying voice, Bai Hanyun smirked. She then turned around and faced Bai Li. Crossing her arms, she scanned Bai Li from head to toe, then shook her head.
"Bai Li, it’s only been a few days, but you look older than before. Did you use too much makeup these days?"
Angered by her words, Bai Li gritted her teeth and snapped, "Bai Hanyun! What did you just say?!"
Bai Hanyun raised her brows slightly. "What? Not only do you look old that you can be my aunt, but you also have hearing problems?"
Hearing this, Bai Li’s vision darkened from anger, and her body swayed.
"Miss Bai, be careful!" One of her followers quickly reached out to steady her.
Without her tily help, Bai Li might have fallen to the ground and embarrassed herself in public.
Seeing this, Bai Hanyun clicked her tongue and muttered, "What a pity. It would be fun to see her make a fool of herself."
While Bai Hanyun was enjoying the show, another follower saw Bai Li’s pale complexion and worriedly asked, "Miss Bai, are you alright?"
Raising her hand to signal that she was alright, Bai Li stared at Bai Hanyun with doubt flashing in her eyes.
’What is wrong with her today? Why does she seem so different from before? This bitch didn’t even dare to breathe loudly in front of before. Today, she even dared to mock . I will never let her go because of this humiliation!’
Straightening her posture, Bai Li arrogantly said, "Bai Hanyun, you are no longer the young lady of the Bai family. You better get out of here before I call the security to throw you out."
When she heard this, Bai Hanyun rolled her eyes. "Bai Li, no matter what happens, the Bai family’s blood runs through my veins. I’m still the rightful young lady of the Bai family."
After saying that, Bai Hanyun paused for a few seconds, then looked Bai Li up and down. Snorting at her, Bai Hanyun added, "While you are just an adopted daughter. No matter how hard you try, you are still just a fake product."
As soon as the words fell, Bai Li’s face darkened.
Seeing her reaction, Bai Hanyun thought, ’Looks like my deliberate provocation worked. Quick, get angry. As long as you are angry, I can get what I want.’
After all these years living together, Bai Hanyun knew Bai Li well. Whenever Bai Li got angry, her brain cells tended to go on vacation and leave her head.
Just as Bai Hanyun waited for Bai Li to explode, a group of people stepped out of one of the elevators outside the banquet hall.
The mont the tall man in black ca out, Hua Yuyu’s instincts kicked in. He imdiately pulled Bai Hanyun behind him and reached toward the dagger hidden inside his suit.
