An Ruyou might not have answered, but she seemed to be belittling Bai Keke instead. In such a situation, it was best not to anger her, otherwise, it would delay today's business. Luckily the auctioneer saved An Ruyou who was in a dilemma.

A man wearing a tuxedo walked out from behind the auction house, "Welcome, my guests. The ones who can sit here today are all dragons and phoenixes, I wish to convey my most sincere gratitude on behalf of all the members of the Auction. The Auction is a charity auction, our country's famous expert on cultural relics identification and collector of antiques, Mr. Zhang Taixing, is very concerned about the physical life of handicapped children. All of the items sold here are sponsored by the Mr. Zhang free of charge and friendship, and are about to be bought by the similarly caring people. The money that we earn will be distributed among the public hospitals in all the provinces and cities of the country, and the money that we get free of charge and without a threshold, will be used to subsidize the operation of poor families who give birth to handicapped children.

After the thunderous applause, the man continued, "Please allow me to introduce myself. I am the host of this charity auction, and every single exquisite collection will pass through my hands and arrive in front of everyone. Without further ado, Auction will officially begin."

"First of all, the first item is a large wine bottle with two ears from the coiling dragon show in the Qing Dynasty, its glaze color is clear and bright, bringing with it a vivid color from the times." First of all, the second item is a large wine bottle with two ears from the coiling dragon opera in the Qing Dynasty, the glaze color is clear and bright, bringing with it a vivid color,

Immediately, someone called out a bid, and the price rapidly rose until it was sold for seven million. The auctioneer was also a philanthropic capitalist, for him to bid such a high price, he probably wanted to support the Mr. Zhang in their good deeds!

An Ruyou flipped the album in her hands. The bean coloured lotus leaf that she wanted to take was the third from last, when suddenly her attention was attracted by a painting. On the scroll, there was a line of big words: The coral on the palm cannot be pitied, but the Sect transferred it to the Sun Blossom.

Each and every word here made An Ruyou think back to the story of corals that Mr. Zhang had told her. Looking at these words through the camera, An Ruyou's heart seemed to have become softer, becoming as tenacious as porcelain and coral. If she could see it with her own eyes, it would also serve as an inspiration.

Flipping through the items in the auction manual, Qiao Ruoan sold a lot of rare items. During this time, Qiao Ruoan, who didn't know his own capabilities, hoped that Xiao Ling would help him sell the four hundred grams of Diamond Ore Stone. In the end, he was shocked speechless by the starting price.

Bai Keke was also captivated by the diamond. "Oh my god, it's really beautiful."

Ye Yi turned to An Ruyou and asked, "Ru Lang, do you like it?"

"It's okay, I don't like to wear accessories." Just as An Ruyou finished speaking, she suddenly realised what she said wrong and hurriedly explained, "A few days ago, I forgot to take off my storage ring when I was bathing. The gem on top shaved off a piece of my hair and hurt me to death.

Ye Yi, who was puzzled a moment ago, suddenly realised, "You are most afraid of pain. From the time you went to the barber's shop, you would ask the barber to comb your hair lightly."

"Yeah, the scalp is quite sensitive." An Ruyou laughed and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Finally, the calligraphy piece that An Ruyou had been waiting for arrived.

"The next item in the collection is a masterpiece by famous calligrapher Zhou Zhaoliang. The flowing and large characters very well display the gentle nature of Lady Zhou. Her brush strokes are gentle, yet they carry a strong quality. It is a treasure that can only be found by luck and not found. The starting price starts at 300,000 yuan."

Qiao Ruoan immediately raised his board, "400,000." This was to pave the way for Xiao Ling, so of course they couldn't be vague about it. They could only count on giving this to the Mr. Zhang to build a relationship with.

Initially, An Ruyou was not determined to get this calligraphy piece, but if Qiao Ruoan wanted it, he had no choice but to fight for it. This caused An Ruyou to be filled with fighting spirit, she raised her sign and said, "Five hundred thousand."

"Ru Lu, do you like that calligrapher a lot?" Ye Yi was completely confused by An Ruyou's sudden action.

An Ruyou looked at the calligraphy scrolls on the stage that had a layer of gold lining coated with a layer of light and nodded, "Un, Big Brother Ye Yi, I really like the works of Lady Zhou Zhao Li."

"No wonder you used to argue that your writing wasn't good. So you were secretly worshipping a calligrapher at home. Go ahead and take pictures. Brother will support you if you don't have enough money."

Qiao Ruoan was panicking, they only had a million for the gift, but with the current bid already past half, it was probably a disaster, "550,000."

Seated in the shadows, He Chengyu had long since seen An Ruyou. He felt it was a little strange, for some reason, that the An Ruyou before and after the end of the marriage had emitted a different kind of temperament, he had previously thought that she was a naive and sticky little girl, but now, somehow, she carried a mature charm, and was extremely interested in this game. He raised his sign, wanting to investigate what it was, "Seven hundred thousand."

He Chengyu increased the bid by more than half, so from now on, he could only increase the bid by fifty thousand.

An Ruyou looked at He Chengyu in confusion, "What is he doing, why is he here too?"

"What's a trick?" Bai Keke said, "Auction is a place where the highest bidders earn the most, what's wrong with them bidding?"

"Seven hundred and fifty thousand." An Ruyou did not bother with her and directly raised her board.

"Eight hundred thousand." Qiao Ruoan was not to be outdone.

"850,000." He Chengyu bid once again.

Just as Qiao Ruoan was about to raise his sign, he was pushed down by Xiao Ling, "The situation isn't right, don't shout out a price."

"Trash, if you can't speak in front of Mr. Zhang, how are you going to promote yourself?"

"Nine hundred thousand." An Ruyou raised her plate.

The auction house was silent as everyone watched the exciting game.

"Nine hundred and fifty thousand." 's bid caused an uproar in the auction house. Crafts would often sell for a sky-high price, but this kind of painting was something that everyone liked, even going to the extent of doubling it was unusual. Just like Da Vinci's canvas that day, he also bid one million and the final price was one million seven hundred and fifty thousand.

The auctioneer also lost his patience. He announced that the auction would be suspended. He wanted to further verify with the Foundation that such a sky-high price was legal.

"Sister, you don't have to care about that Number Eight. He called out a price of almost a million for a calligraphy and painting. Isn't it too easy on those who are supported?"

An Ruyou looked at the serious face of Bai Keke and felt so disgusted that he couldn't even speak. Maybe Bai Keke was really worried for his, but she actually felt that donating money to others was a way to make things easier for others.

"I am not only fighting with him, I was fighting with Qiao Ruoan previously, I just want to get it done."

"What's so good about a broken word?" Bai Keke was full of jealousy, she also wanted to make a name for himself in this place. Although Yue Yue Yue's pocket money could almost match the monthly income of middle class families, her daily life was extravagant and he did not have any plans to deposit anything into it. She was extremely jealous that An Ruyou could use the company's money to spend.

I have already talked it over with the Foundation, and the Foundation has already determined that this transaction is legal. Just now, Mr. Eight's final bid was 950,000, and there is no one else who wants to bid.

"One million." An Ruyou calmly raised her plate.

"Miss No.10 bids one million, currently the price is reversed, entering the stage of bidding as you please, do you have anyone else bidding?"

"One million and five hundred thousand."

He Chengyu's words caused an uproar, the people could not stay calm any longer, the word "famous" was actually auctioned at such a sky-high price, it was truly something they had never heard of, even for charity purposes.

"One million seven hundred thousand."

His heart was beating faster. He wondered if the original author was still alive. He wondered if he would be happy to see his work being sold at such a sky-high price.

"1.7 million going once, 1.7 million going twice, 1.7 million going thrice," the host said in a melodious voice as he tapped the small golden hammer on the pear tree, "Congratulations to Miss Number Ten for obtaining the collection."

An Ruyou sat up, the bean-colored lotus leaf plate at the Longquan Kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty was her true purpose in coming here.

The next item in the collection is a treasure of our country's famous culture, the bean-colored lotus leaf tray of Longquan Kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty. It has undergone many changes since the Southern Song Dynasty, yet it still shines in front of us. It has a noble shape and smooth lines along with simple and elegant colors.

Such a shocking price made many people speechless. An Ruyou raising her hand just in time to attract everyone's attention. After a few rounds of competition, An Ruyou won a total of four million.

The Auction was gradually coming to an end, "Thank you all for participating in this session of the Auction charity, for finding the owner of every item in the collection, not a single item in the auction, but because of the huge amount of items being auctioned, it is still being settled. At present, it is still not possible to announce the total amount of items that the Auction has made, and thank everyone who contributed to the Foundation for the Disabled Children, your kindness will turn into the children's eyes and ears of the world again, helping them to grow perfectly, thank you all, in the end, please stay behind and receive your items."

Everyone was walking out, but He Chengyu was walking with the crowd, he stopped bidding because the price he asked was not right, and now he wanted to go see the woman who bought the calligraphy.

"How boring." Bai Keke stood up and stretched his body, the fine clothes making a sound of the threads breaking apart. Bai Keke coughed to cover himself.

"Hello, we have met before. I am An Ruyou."

"Can you give me the calligraphy and painting? We can discuss the money and I will directly send the money to your personal account."

"Of course not, Mr. He. This is my calligraphy and painting. No matter which person I donate the money to or give it to, the law states that this painting belongs to me. I don't have any plans to sell it right now, so please go back!"
