Three Apologies from Heaven

When someone behind him offered 54 million again, Shen Mingzhu raised the number plate in her hand.

"Sixty million!"

When the people who had bid before saw Shen Mingzhu holding up the sign, they all became a little hesitant. Neither in terms of strength nor financial resources could they compete with the Shen family. If they continued to bid, not only would they fail to buy the ginseng, but they might also offend the Shen family, which would be a loss.

Some people thought this way and gave up bidding, but of course, some people were unwilling to give up.

"Sixty-two million!"

The person who spoke was Yan Songzhe, who was sitting on the left of Shen Mingzhu.

Shen Mingzhu didn't look at him but continued to hold up the number plate in her hand.

"Seventy million!"

Yan Songzhe smiled slightly. "Seventy-two million!"

Shen Mingzhu had no expression on her face. "Eighty million!"

After the two of them had bid for two rounds, the people sitting in the back turned their attention over. They didn't dare to ask questions behind their backs, but their expressions were full of gossip.

There is an old man above the Yan family. Presumably, Yan Songzhe wanted to buy this ginseng to leave it for the old man in the future.

But Shen Mingzhu also wanted to bid for this ginseng. There was no one else in her family. Was she going to keep it for her retirement?

It's funny just thinking about it. Shen Mingzhu is only 23 years old now and still very young. If she wants to use this ginseng, she will probably have to wait for decades.

"Eighty-two million!"

No matter what everyone thought, Yan Songzhe did not stop bidding. Since he did not stop, Shen Mingzhu naturally would not give up.

"Ninety million!"

Until then, Yan Songzhe finally couldn't help but turn his head to look at Shen Mingzhu, and said softly: "My old man has not slept well in recent years, and his body is often unwell. He is also your elder. I wonder if you can give up your love for the sake of the old man. Later, I will definitely give Miss Shen a generous gift as compensation."

Old man of the Yan family?

Shen Mingzhu searched in her memory. When the Shen family held the funeral a year ago, only Yan Songzhe came from the Yan family. The old man of the Yan family did not show up.

In the original body's memory, there are very few memories of the old man of the Yan family. He almost never saw him for several years.

In this case, what face is worth giving up?

Of course, she couldn't show it so directly on her face. After all, there were other people present. If her words got out, it would mean that she was disrespectful to the old man of the Yan family.

Shen Mingzhu glanced at the steady golden thigh next to her, and said to Yan Songzhe, "I'm afraid Master Yan doesn't know that I had some minor conflicts at the Huo family's banquet last time, which made me feel guilty towards Mr. Huo, so I thought of buying this ginseng and giving it to Mr. Huo as an apology."

Huo Yancheng: "······" Three apologies were sent from heaven.

The smile on Yan Songzhe's face finally couldn't be maintained. He slowly restrained the smile on his face and turned to look at Shen Mingzhu, waiting for her to finish her words.

Shen Mingzhu glanced at Yan Songzhe's unhappy expression, not afraid at all, she said calmly: "Master Yan doesn't want me to offend Mr. Huo, right? Everyone knows that I am the only one left in the Shen family now. Our three families are the three major families in Beijing. Although we only have some face, we are still old friends. I can't offend both sides, right?"

Since we can't offend both sides, we'll just offend one side.

Shen Mingzhu continued, "I saw that Master Yan has just bought two kinds of medicinal herbs. Both are relatively rare and precious. I think these will be enough for your old man."

? ? ?

! ! !

What do you mean it's enough?!

These words make people feel confused.

To put it bluntly, isn't this cursing the old man of the Yan family?

Hearing the meaning of these words, people who didn't know would think that the old man was seriously ill and was waiting for life-saving medicine.

What we know is that Shen Mingzhu wanted to buy the ginseng and give it to Huo Yancheng in order not to offend the Huo family, but the key is that she didn't need to say it so openly, right?

What if Yan Songzhe finds that he can't convince Shen Mingzhu and goes to find Huo Yancheng?

After all, Shen Mingzhu said that she wanted to bid for this ginseng to give it to Huo Yancheng as an apology, but if Huo Yancheng himself didn't want it, then Shen Mingzhu should not continue to bid, right?

Sure enough, Yan Songzhe turned his gaze to look at Huo Yancheng, who was looking at this side indifferently.

Yan Songzhe paused for a moment, then finally said, "I wonder if Master Huo can give up his love for her. The Yan family will give him a generous gift later."

Huo Yancheng's face showed no emotion. He only said in a deep voice, "I am not the one bidding for the ginseng, and I don't have the power to stop others from bidding. Miss Shen has already said that the highest bidder wins. Whoever offers the highest price will get the item. I didn't set the rules, so you don't need to ask for my opinion."

As soon as Huo Yancheng said this, there was a sigh from behind. Although Huo Yancheng's words sounded as if he did not want to interfere between the two of them, his words were clearly in favor of Shen Mingzhu.

Others could understand the underlying meaning, and Yan Songzhe certainly understood it as well. His face darkened completely, but he didn't have much time left. The host on the podium was already asking if anyone else wanted to bid. If no one else made a bid, the ginseng would belong to Shen Mingzhu.

Yan Songzhe's fingers holding the number plate turned white. He wanted to continue bidding, but when he thought about the land on the outskirts of the city that had not been auctioned yet, he didn't know how much money Shen Mingzhu had prepared, but seeing that she still had the leisure to bid for ginseng and looked fearless, she might have a backup plan.

Thinking of this, Yan Songzhe couldn't help but hesitate, and as he hesitated, the host on the podium struck the auction hammer in his hand.

"Congratulations, Miss Shen, for bidding for this 500-year-old ginseng at 90 million. Let us congratulate Miss Shen!"

"Pah!"

There was applause behind me.

Shen Mingzhu tilted her head towards Yan Songzhe and nodded slightly, saying like a villain: "Thank you, Master Yan, for giving up your love."

After saying this, Shen Mingzhu ignored Yan Songzhe's pale face and looked towards Huo Yancheng, saying sincerely, "How about we each take half of this ginseng?"

Huo Yancheng: "…"

Just now, she said in public that the ginseng was used to make amends to Huo Yancheng, and now she said that she would share it with him in half, which stunned everyone who heard it.

Huo Yancheng had no idea what Shen Mingzhu was thinking. She had already given him two gifts as an apology, and now she wanted to give him ginseng. Although only two minutes had passed and one ginseng became half a ginseng, he glanced at Yan Songzhe, who had an unpleasant expression, and nodded slightly: "Okay."

Shen Mingzhu was delighted. A big boss is a big boss. He is very broad-minded. He knew that she had used him to shut Yan Songzhe up, but he still spoke up for Shen Mingzhu.

What a good person!

Although she bought this ginseng at a high price of 90 million, it was not small. Even if she gave half of it to Huo Yancheng, it would be enough!
