CHAPTER 1187: CHAPTER 236: MOTIVES OF FAME AND GAIN, HANDLE IN HAND

Blatant sarcasm, two years ago I could ruin your face, two years later, are you thinking of shedding a layer of skin, it’s better if you behave, but if you dare to have any ideas, we’ll see.

Ye Xiaoxiao clenched her fists in anger, she hated it when others mentioned her face, especially Ji Yunya, the instigator, she was intentionally rubbing salt into the wound, Ji Yunya, aren’t you very proud? Aren’t you shining bright? Soon, I will crush you into the mud, everything you pride yourself on, I will destroy completely, I want everyone to walk over you, I want everyone to know your filthy promiscuity, I want to take a knife and slice your face inch by inch.

Yun Ya saw the madness in Ye Xiaoxiao’s eyes, even though she was prepared, she couldn’t help but feel shocked for a moment, then she sneered inwardly, what kind of lunatic had she provoked, two years ago she wasn’t afraid, now she’s even less afraid, bring it on if you’ve got the guts.

See if I don’t kill you.

Dongfang Yi watched the undercurrents between the two, discreetly raised an eyebrow, she would wait on the mountain, watch the tigers fight, and add fuel to the fire at the critical moment.

Pei Bao’er sensed something was off about the atmosphere, especially Ye Xiaoxiao’s current appearance, her gaze fixated on Ji Yunya, her face pale and ghostly under the light.

She thought about it, but felt a secret delight.

Honestly, there were countless socialites jealous of Ji Yunya, family background wise, she was far behind Ji Yunya, but having a good appearance, can it be eaten? Yet she became Yan Song’s fiancée, feeling indignant inside, Pei Bao’er was no exception, she actually disliked her from the first glance, now with Ye Xiaoxiao in the picture, she’s looking forward to it.

What interesting things will happen tonight?

She forgot, the dinner party tonight was hosted by her mother, if something happened to Ji Yunya at the party, how would she explain it to Zhuang Xiyue, who isn’t someone to be trifled with.

But now she couldn’t think that far.

Lady Xiao walked onto the stage, stood before the microphone and said a few words, high-sounding diplomatic rhetoric, spoken beautifully, nowadays charitable work, to put it plainly, is just a tool for those with money and power to fish for fame, including Yun Ya, who doesn’t truly have the world’s interest at heart, like she just said, in life, one can’t escape fame and profit, living another lifetime, she couldn’t escape these entanglements either.

She needs money to maintain her luxurious lifestyle, she needs reputation to pave a golden road for herself, to marry into the Yan Family, she must ensure her businesses don’t make even a slightest mistake, a small difference can lead to great loss, she can’t gamble nor will she, so she uses the banner of charity, preferring diminished profits to grow and strengthen the charity industry, she had long patched up Yun Shen’s debts, now even if F.M.I.’s people came to audit the company, it would be clean and spotless, if any loopholes were found, she’d offer her head for a football, yet even so, intentional entrapment can’t be prevented, these she had long anticipated, she hasn’t truly been idle for these two years, the flawless commercial system Ji Group established allows no room for any vested interest’s meddling, thanks to Allen’s system invention...

Thinking of this, she heard Lady Xiao say on stage: "Next, please move to the auction hall, tonight’s charity auction officially begins."

Zhuang Xiyue found Yun Ya, pulled her towards the auction hall, noticing Ye Xiaoxiao, subconsciously frowned, pulling Yun Ya away.

"Stay away from that girl in the future." Zhuang Xiyue had always known Ye Xiaoxiao chased after Yan Song, she never thought highly of this woman, she knew women’s thoughts well, if this woman dared to cause trouble for Yun Ya, she wouldn’t care whose daughter she was.

"Don’t worry Aunt Zhuang, I know what I’m doing." As long as Ye Xiaoxiao doesn’t make a move.

Zhuang Xiyue knew Yun Ya was smart, nodded in satisfaction: "Don’t be afraid, no matter what happens, I’ve got your back."

The auction began, ladies took turns presenting their jewelry collections, then auctioned off, the money raised would be donated as charity, after all, it was Lady Xiao’s event, bringing out shoddy items wouldn’t do, the treasures were acceptable enough.

Zhuang Xiyue and Yun Ya sat in the front row, Zhuang Xiyue holding Yun Ya’s hand, gently asked: "If you see something you like, just let me know."

Yun Ya smiled and nodded, "Okay."

After auctioning three items, the host smiled and said: "Next, this auction piece has quite a background, it is ’Spring Light’, the last work of Elder Master Qi Junxin, this painting had once sold for a sky-high price of twenty million at Christie’s Auction House in the United Kingdom, let’s see which gentleman or lady is so kind-hearted, back to the point, this ’Spring Light’ as Elder Master Qi Junxin’s final work, is invaluable, now, starting bid at twenty-one million."
