Chapter 478 – Marriage Proposal (Part 1)
"No, I'll be waiting for you then!" Captain Feng was a little puzzled. What was wrong with his daughter today? Why was she acting so weird? But since Xiaoxiao wanted to come, there was no need for him to say anything else.
The reason why Xiaoxiao agreed so quickly was because Lin Yi wasn't at school, and she had to leave as well. One could only imagine how depressed Tang Yun would be!
Hmph, going against her? That would be a tragic ending! Xiaoxiao waved her fist and went downstairs. She saw the Audi A6L parked outside the school gates, and didn't say anything as she got in the car.
"Xiaoxiao, the doctor this time is your dad's colleague, an expert in genetic diseases!" Captain Feng waited for Xiaoxiao to get in the car before looking at her kindly.
His name was Feng Tianlong, a special agent. He couldn't be by Xiaoxiao's side every day due to his work. It was a little regretful, but he didn't regret it! Since he'd chosen this path, he had to walk it down.
"Oh, another specialist," Xiaoxiao replied faintly. Xiaoxiao nodded faintly. She'd seen too many experts since she was young, but they'd always come back disappointed. Xiaoxiao was pretty much numb to it already.
Rather than wasting time with doctors, she'd rather spend her youth and life. At least she wouldn't regret it even if she died.
Tianlong shook his head. His daughter's attitude was within his expectations, and he didn't say anything else. In fact, he didn't have much confidence, but as long as there was a sliver of hope, he wanted his daughter to live, to live healthily …
The plane slowly landed in Yanjing, and Lin Yi, Fatty Lai, and Fatty Lai got off the plane and checked into the hotel Fatty Lai had booked.
"Boss, we're auctioning three Pills of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing this time. Isn't that a little too little?" Fatty Lai asked carefully.
"Rare things are precious. Plus, it's not all for the money. It's mainly for the fame." Lin Yi smiled.
"I see …" Fatty Lai knew that Lin Yi was speaking the truth, but he had his own selfish motives. If there were only three Pills of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing, then his chances of getting one would be a little low. If there were more, then wouldn't he still have a chance?
Of course, he couldn't say this to Lin Yi, so Fatty Lai could only swallow it.
With Fatty Lai's help, the procedures for the auction were easily taken care of. All they had to do was provide the auction items, the base price, and so on, and the auction would be completed.
Even the organizer of the auction did not force the seller to go through the appraisal. The appraisal was voluntary, and one could apply for it or not. Obviously, the organizer also knew that some rare treasures couldn't be identified on the spot, and those who could participate in this auction were all celebrities. No one was willing to come up with something fake to tarnish their reputation.
It was true that there were cases of shoddy goods being passed off as quality goods, but this kind of transaction would also damage the seller's reputation. As the organizer, House Yu, was not a force to be trifled with. Rumor had it that a few years ago, there was a seller who passed off shoddy goods as quality goods, and House Yu ended up bankrupting him …
But for Fatty Lai's unknown pill that had never been on the market before, no matter how miraculous his description was, the organizer still set a relatively low price for him: one million.
Fatty Lai didn't want to explain further. One million it was. The pill wouldn't be sold for a cheap price anyway. Forget one million, even if it was a hundred million, he'd take it without hesitation.
Yanjing City, Xiao family.
Doctor Kang brought Kang Guifeng and Kang Zhaolong to visit the two brothers of the Xiao family, Xiao Ji and Xiao Ben.
The old man of the Xiao family had passed away, and Xiao Ji and Xiao Ben had become poor kids. Although the Xiao family was still a low-class noble house, the two brothers were pleasantly surprised by Doctor Kang's personal visit.
"Doctor Kang, you could've just asked Brother Guifeng to come, why did you come yourself? You're giving our Xiao family too much face!" Xiao Ji was very excited about Doctor Kang's visit. As long as the marriage with House Kang was successful, the Xiao family would be able to get a loan from the bank, as well as the support of their business partners. By then, the situation of the Xiao family would be reversed.
"Isn't it just in time for House Yu's auction, so I came along." Doctor Kang smiled.
"House Yu's auction …" Xiao Ji paused. "Isn't the auction held in August every year?"
"It's earlier this year, don't you know?" Doctor Kang was taken aback as well. The Xiao family may be a low-class noble house, but they should still be invited to the auction. Why did they look like they didn't know?
He knew even when he was out of town, but the local Xiao family didn't know?
"I know … Ha, Big Brother, the invitation is with me. I was dealing with the funeral of the old man, so I put this matter aside. I forgot to mention it." Xiao Ben was a smart man. After a trace of haze flashed across his face, he said with a smile.
Xiao Ben was just lying. In fact, the Xiao family didn't receive the invitation, and that was what pissed him off the most! With the old man's death, they didn't send an invitation. What was House Yu thinking?
"I see, so it's with you. I thought they forgot about us." Xiao Ji smiled and nodded. "It's brought forward! I wonder if Elder Kang has anything that you're determined to get in this auction? "
"Well, the auction list is only released on the day of the auction. I don't know about that!" Doctor Kang smiled and shook his head.
Xiao Ben felt sad again. Once upon a time, when the Xiao family was at its peak, they could get most of the auction listings a few days before the auction. How awesome were he and his brother back then? When the time comes, I'll definitely get it … '
But now, they didn't even bother to send out an invitation! The Xiao family may be poor, but they were still a low-class noble house. How could they look down on them like this?
"Of course!" Xiao Ben saw that his brother was about to brag about his past achievements and quickly stopped him. "We probably won't be able to bid for anything when the time comes. We might not even be able to attend the auction. There's too much to do at home!"
Xiao Ben made up an excuse for not being able to attend.
"Right, Guifeng, where's our gift?" Doctor Kang looked at Kang Guifeng.
"Here!" Kang Guifeng waved at Zhaolong, who was at the door. Zhaolong quickly walked over.
"Uncle Xiao, Second Uncle Xiao, this is a box of Golden Creation Ointment. It's just a small gift!" Zhaolong said respectfully as he presented the box politely.
