Chapter 15
The video in Song Yunnian’s hand was a recording from an auction.
On the stage, the Medicine King Vine Bracelet was displayed inside a glass case. This was the footage from just before the bracelet was sold.
The auctioneer shouted out prices. Because of the Medicine King Vine’s reputation, everyone was scrambling to place their bids. Finally, a mysterious person bid fifty million, and the bracelet was sold.
Seeing this, the people in the crowd began to whisper among themselves.
“What is Song Yunnian trying to do? Is there something wrong with this video?”
“Yeah, when the paddle was raised just now, I saw that the person was a woman. It must have been Song Feier.”
“Haha, this is hilarious. Song Yunnian couldn’t possibly be trying to say she was the one who bought it, could she?”
“Exactly. Song Feier is Madam Fu. Is it even possible she couldn’t afford a fifty-million-dollar bracelet?”
…
Just as these mocking words fell, the scene on the screen shifted.
A woman stood up from the shadows and walked toward the payment counter to settle the bid.
As she moved, her entire face was revealed to the crowd. It was someone no one expected.
That person was Song Yunnian!
She even gave a slight smile toward the camera.
Song Feier felt her mind go blank with a roar, her entire body freezing in place.
How could this be? How could the person who bought the bracelet be Song Yunnian? She had clearly sent someone to bid on it for her!
Furthermore, her person had explicitly told her that the bid was successful.
The crowd was also beyond shocked, and a heated discussion broke out immediately.
“No way? Is this for real? The person who bought the Medicine King Vine Bracelet in the video is Song Yunnian?”
“Doesn’t that mean the bracelet Song Feier gave is a fake?”
“Heavens, this is shocking. The esteemed Madam Fu actually gave a fake.”
“Maybe she thought no one would ever suspect her?”
…
All sorts of disdainful voices and mocking glares were hurled at Song Feier. Her face grew paler by the second.
Li Yurong rushed over, grabbing her and asking, “Feier, what on earth is going on? Didn’t I tell you to prepare properly?”
Song Feier shook her head in a panic. “I… I don’t know.”
Suddenly, she seemed to remember something. “Right, Xiao Li! She was the one who bid for it. Something must have gone wrong on her end!”
Because the company had been busy lately and she couldn’t get away, she had left the task of purchasing the gift to her assistant.
Song Feier hurriedly pulled out her phone and dialed her assistant Xiao Li’s number. Soon, a cold, mechanical female voice came through the line.
“I’m sorry, the number you have dialed is powered off. Please try again later.”
Powered off! Xiao Li’s phone was off.
Song Feier’s face turned white as a terrible premonition rose in her heart. Her hands trembled as she dialed the assistant’s number over and over again.
The first time, the second time, the third time…
After a few minutes, Song Feier had no choice but to give up.
Xiao Li wasn’t answering; she must be the one behind this!
She had been set up by her assistant. The woman had taken her money but hadn’t bought the bracelet for her, leaving her to make a public fool of herself at the Song family birthday banquet.
That was fifty million!
How could that bitch Song Yunnian have that much money? Song Feier had invested almost all of the company’s funds into that purchase.
Song Yunnian had been kicked out of the country; how could she possibly have enough money to buy this bracelet?
But the video was right there, leaving no room for her to argue.
The way the crowd looked at her changed. Instead, they were astonished by Song Yunnian’s financial power. After all, being able to produce fifty million was no simple feat.
In an instant, their positions were swapped. Song Yunnian was radiant, while Song Feier was utterly humiliated!
