Chapter 2

"Su Qianxia, your temper is truly as foul and stubborn as a rock, unlike Mei'er's sweet compliance!"

"Not once have you even given me a pleasant look this whole time, nor asked if I agreed to your purchase!"

Lu Siting coldly stared at me, as if I were the one at fault.

I shook off his hand, looking at him as though he were an ant.

"Lu Siting, are you out of your mind? Even if we were legally married, never mind just engaged without any legal standing, you wouldn't have the right to dictate how I spend my own money, would you?"

"You love Ruan Mei'er, well then, I wish you both bind yourselves eternally, so you won't harm others for a lifetime."

"Now, please link hands and get out of my sight, would you?"

Lu Siting, who had been born with a silver spoon, had never endured such humiliation, and immediately his anger surged.

"Su Qianxia, just as Mei'er said, you truly are a vile woman, beautiful only on the outside but rotten on the inside!"

He glanced at the herb in my hand, then suddenly sneered and slapped his card on the table.

"Boss, I'll take all the herbs she's holding, offering five times the sale price!"

Among the gasps of the onlookers, the shop owner eagerly took the card and looked at me inquisitively: "What's Miss Su's offer, will you raise the price as well?"

I clutched my fist, "Raise! I'll offer ten times!"

It was as if Lu Siting was waiting for my response, increasing his volume immediately: "Then I'll offer fifteen times higher!"

Antique herbs over a century old are extremely scarce, and normally available only in this marketplace nationwide.

Each box is already expensive, but now Lu Siting's price hike made it several times dearer, totaling twelve billion.

Having previously spent ten billion buying ginseng, if it were before, Lu Siting, as the unworthy heir of the Lu Family, wouldn't possibly have had this much pocket money to squander.

The only possibility is that he took advantage of his father's serious illness to seize the CEO position, using the company's account to make a spectacle!

This unrighteous idiot turned out to be my fiancé, and I felt a wave of nausea.

Seeing my discomfort, Lu Siting assumed I was scared of him, smirking coldly.

"Su Qianxia, with me here today, unless you bow and apologize to Mei'er, don't think you can buy a single item!"

"No matter what you want, I'll offer multiple times your price, let's see whom the boss sells to!"

The merchant couldn't care less about making the least profit, the auction's boss immediately agreed: "Of course, it's fair competition, highest bid wins!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Siting's face grew even more smug, Ruan Mei'er also sneered at me.

"Sister, if you can't afford to pay a higher price, drop the herbs now, if you dirty them, my pet pup might get a stomach ache."

She made a kissing sound towards her teacup dog but kept her eyes fixed on me.

I knew she intended to humiliate me.

Unfortunately for her, with that level of intelligence and tactic, she's not qualified to provoke me.

"One is a mistress's illegitimate daughter, the other is a poser relying on daddy, daring to storm in high-end markets recklessly."

"Indeed, what has the world come to!"

I curled my lips.

Their faces instantly changed at those words.

"Su Qianxia, do you believe that I'll rip that mouth of yours?!"

Ruan Mei'er's expression turned somewhat feral.

I calmly looked at her, swirling the high-stem glass.

"Just speaking the truth, what's the rush?"

I raised my eyebrows at her.

Didn't she just feed ginseng to a dog, aiming to humiliate me?

I've barely countered and she already couldn't take it?

"Since you want to play, I'll accompany you, not knowing how to lose is inappropriate!"
