Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

Expectedly, it went as Hong Dali predicted. After all, Hong Anbao wasn’t a fool, he quickly realized what was going on with Tai Yajing.

Being a proud and arrogant Young Master, Hong Anbao naturally would not reprimand Tai Yajing, that love-struck idiot, in public. His first instinct was to win over Liu Mingxin in the bidding for the auction later, so as to show who was the real winner in life.

If Hong Dali knew what he was thinking now, he would definitely sigh—this was plainly a suppression of his intelligence level over Hong Anbao’s.

In just a short moment, the people all gathered and moved to an inner hall. Without question, that was the venue for holding the auction. Since this was a charity auction, all the proceeds would be used to do charity. This would help boost one’s public image; therefore, no one present refused.

As Hong Dali and his group majestically entered the hall, Hong Dali brought Tang Muxin and Li Nianwei to the best seats and sat down. If anyone dared to oppose him, his lackeys would glare at them angrily. By then, everyone was aware that he was the renowned prodigal in Tianjing City. Thus, they could only swallow their anger and keep quiet. After all, they couldn’t afford to offend the Hong family.

The environment was slightly dusky. As the auction hall quickly became full, those who knew each other seated together and discussed the auction items.

Tang Muxin sat beside Hong Dali, looking around in boredom. Suddenly, she caught sight of someone in the corner of her eye. Giving out a sound of surprise, she said, “What is she doing here?”

Hong Dali curiously asked, “Who? Who is here?”

“Ah, it’s nothing.” Although she said that, Tang Muxin secretly thought in her heart: Is it truly her? The Blood Concubine? Is there some hidden meaning for her being here? Is she here to bid for the items too? She instantly shook her head. What can possibly catch her eye here? This is really strange. I must have seen wrongly.

Just at this moment, Hong Dali suddenly felt something and turned his head around.

Following his line of sight, Hong Anbao, who was seated to the right and in front of him, was secretly glancing at Liu Mingxin who was three meters away on the left, his mouth hanging with an evil smile. Hong Dali immediately pulled Tang Muxin’s elbow. “There’s a good show to be seen soon. From the looks of it, that brother of mine is seeking to show off his manly awe soon.”

Seeing this, Tang Muxin secretly laughed. This trick of using the wolf to eat the tiger by Hong Dali was really too evil. Both of them were proud and arrogant, there would definitely be a good show today.

At the same time, the people surround them was pointing and mentioning towards Hong Dali too.

There was no need to mention Li Nianwei. Now that her fame was over the sky limits, she naturally attracted others’ attention. Combined with Hong Dali, who was a superprodigal in everyone’s hearts, the effect was imaginable.

A lot of people were looking to enjoy a good show. Although it was a charity auction, a fantastic fight could definitely be expected today.

Moments later, the lighting softened. That was a sign that the auction was about to start.

The murmuring and discussion noise in the hall immediately quietened down. Very soon, the stage suddenly brightened up, and the auction started.

A man with a mustache walked up on stage and spoke gradually in a deep and seducing voice, “Hello, everyone. I’m Su Lei, the host for today’s auction. I believe that everyone has gone through the contents’ manual for the items today. Without further ado, let’s start with the first item!”

“Contents’ Manual? How come I didn’t see it?” Hong Dali’s face was full of surprise.

“Oh, we were asked here by Liu Mingxin in the last minute, so we don’t have one.” Tang Muxin pulled him and softly murmured, “But that’s ok, just prepare to bid later.”

“Oh, OK.” Hong Dali directly replied.

On stage, Su Lei continued to speak while looking around, then lightly clapped his hands. An attendant instantly brought forth the first auction item.

The item didn’t seem to be large in size and was covered by a red cloth. Just as Su Lei was about to introduce the item, a voice directly sounded off from below. “300,000 yuan!”

“Er…” Su Lei was almost choked to death by his own saliva. He gave a few violent coughs before carefully saying towards the source of the voice, “This Sir, I haven’t introduced the item yet…”

Hong Dali sniffled and said, “I know that. Is it not enough? Then I shall bid 400,000 yuan instead. If no one wants this item, then I shall take it.”

At times like this, Su Lei’s experience as a seasoned auctioneer came to use. He decisively said in a 200 words per minute speed, “This is a green sculpted jade which is excellent in both quality and design it was refined by the famous master of sculpting Mr. Jia Hongguang the starting price is 50,000 yuan this Sir has already bid 400,000 yuan is there anyone else who wants to bid too!?”

The rest of the people all shook their heads. Then, Su Lei resolutely dropped his hammer. “Deal!”

Speaking of which, he was indeed good at controlling the mood of the crowd. Every time he reported a price, he would make them feel that the item was not only worth the price, but he also caused the atmosphere to be maintained constantly at a climax.

Also, Su Lei was quite confident that the final price of this jade that had a 50,000 yuan starting price could be brought to above 200,000 yuan.

Even if he thought until his head broke, he could have never expected that before he even started the bidding process, Hong Dali would bid a price of 400,000 yuan to win the item. Luckily, his reaction was still fast enough…

Now, all those attending the charity auction broke-down.

It was not that they had never seen awesome people before, but someone as awesome as Hong Dali was someone they were seeing for the first time.

Then, they heard a sentence that made them even more broke-down.

They heard Hong Dali say, “The little Samoyed in my house finally has something to grind his teeth with, not bad.”

A high price of 400,000 yuan, with the aim of buying a tooth-grinding toy for his dog!? All those present felt their sense of logic being shattered to the floor and broken into pieces.

One person said, “I’m crazy, I’m really crazy! This… isn’t this simply too much squandering?”

Another person said, “I have really expanded my horizons today. One can really anger oneself to death if we compare ourselves with others.”

A third person said, “This superprodigal from the Hong Family really lives up to his reputation. I must say that I’m impressed!”

Tang Muxin almost laughed her heart out. This Hong Dali was really natural at being a prodigal. With his act today, no one would imagine that he did it on purpose.

Indeed, Hong Anbao, who was sitting at the front, laughed loudly and slapped his thigh. “This prodigal, hahaha!”

As for Liu Mingxin, he helplessly shook his head. “This Hong Dali, he’s really a prodigal just like the rumors say. Sigh, regarding this kind of person as a rival is really beneath my status. Forget it, I shouldn’t fight with this kind of joker. There isn’t any meaning in it. Instead, this Hong Anbao seems to harbor quite a sense hostility towards me. It should be quite interesting to play around with him.”
