As her voice fell, another voice continued to ring out. "Four hundred ten thousand."
Ruan Fuxi glanced at the auction stage on the first floor, curious to see who this person was that had been bidding against her. Her gaze landed on a middle-aged man, the very one who had been raising the bids.
Next to him stood a familiar face—Yu Qi, her former plastic friend and the adopted daughter of the Yu family. Since her twentieth birthday banquet, Ruan Fuxi had not paid any attention to her. She hadn’t expected to run into her here.
Ruan Fuxi observed Yu Qi’s flushed complexion and smiling face as she flirted with the middle-aged man, their interactions suggesting a close relationship. However, what surprised Ruan Fuxi was the sinister aura surrounding Yu Qi. This aura was different from the kind found in a bustling market; it belonged to someone who practiced dark arts.
Furrowing her brow, Ruan Fuxi wondered how Yu Qi could be associated with such dark practitioners. More importantly, who was this dark practitioner?
As a righteous individual, Ruan Fuxi felt compelled to eliminate evil and uphold justice. The methods employed by dark practitioners were cruel and bloody; they spared no effort in harming innocent lives, and righteous people sought to eradicate them.
While contemplating this, she continued to bid: "Four hundred thousand." Her gaze remained fixed on Yu Qi.
She watched as Yu Qi playfully smiled at the middle-aged man, seemingly encouraging him to continue bidding. Initially, the man's expression was indifferent; after all, four hundred ten thousand for a piece of worthless stone was already quite a stretch. Yet, swayed by Yu Qi's charm, he raised his bid again: "Four hundred sixty thousand."
Yu Qi responded eagerly, showering him with affection. Internally, however, she felt disgusted by the greasy look on his face.
But now she had no choice but to rely on this man.
Yu Qi reflected on the past month, realizing that it had been anything but pleasant. Ever since the Yu family found their biological daughter, her importance had diminished significantly. Although they no longer valued her as before, her living expenses remained about the same as they had always been.
Who would have thought that the biological daughter of the Yu family claimed that when she was adopted, she and Yu Qi were in the same orphanage? Yu Qi, seeing how beautiful she was, had worried that if a wealthy family adopted her, she would lose her chance. So, she had deliberately deceived her, leading to a misunderstanding that caused the Yu family to miss out on their true daughter for over a decade.
When the Yu family learned of this news, they were furious. They had raised someone so deceitful for all these years. It was Yu Qi's actions that prevented them from finding their biological daughter sooner. If it hadn't been for Master Ruan, they might never have had the chance to meet their true daughter in this lifetime.
In a fit of anger upon discovering the truth, the Yu family decided to remove Yu Qi's household registration, stripping her of her status as their adopted daughter. After being kicked out of the house, she left with nothing but the few hundred thousand she had secretly saved. However, that amount was hardly sufficient to survive in a city like Beijing.
Moreover, having grown accustomed to a life of luxury and desire, she was reluctant to leave Beijing. Yu Qi lacked the skills to establish herself elsewhere; her only assets were her striking looks and decent figure.
