Chapter 54
Gu Old Lady remained silent, while Gu Changlin immediately turned to Pei Chiyao, bowing and expressing gratitude, "Thank you, Pei Young Master."
Pei Chiyao ignored them, merely poking the fox in his arms, "Have you caused enough trouble?"
Zhi Yao shook her head, glaring at Pei Chiyao.
How could this be considered trouble? She was saving a life! Saving a life was more significant than building a seven-story pagoda!
Xiao Nuan lay weakly in Gu Changlin's arms, her hand still reaching towards Zhi Yao, "Huxi... Huxi touch... touch..."
Persistently, Gu Changlin, with a hesitant expression, asked Pei Chiyao, "Young Master Pei, may Xiao Nuan touch the little fox just once?"
Perhaps this fox carried some spiritual energy capable of dispelling impurities.
Reluctant as he was, Pei Chiyao couldn't resist Zhi Yao's sympathy for the little girl. He reluctantly agreed, "Just a touch."
He placed Zhi Yao on the ground.
The little one immediately ran towards Xiao Nuan.
Extending her hand, Xiao Nuan gently touched Zhi Yao's head, soft and fluffy – she loved it.
"Hug... Hug..."
Xiao Nuan reached out with both hands, wanting to embrace Zhi Yao.
In the next moment, Pei Chiyao lifted Zhi Yao.
"Okay, she has touched it."
Everyone: "..."
This stingy man!
Zhi Yao couldn't help but laugh and cry; she never expected Pei Chiyao to argue with a little girl like Xiao Nuan.
The little one turned around, seeing Xiao Nuan's slightly dull and watery eyes fixed on her.
Sighing, Zhi Yao couldn't help but feel sorry for the girl. Despite her fair and delicate appearance, she had somehow ended up with such a troublesome spirit.
After being scratched by Zhi Yao, the troublesome spirit became much more docile.
Whether it was Zhi Yao's illusion or not, she felt like the girl's gaze wasn't on her face but on Pei Chiyao's.
Perhaps... Xiao Nuan was more wary of Pei Chiyao?
The little girl suspiciously looked at Pei Chiyao.
But he just patted her head, "Don't meddle in unnecessary matters."
The Gu family's mess couldn't be handled so easily.
Soon, the auction began.
The initial items auctioned were antiques and paintings, which didn't interest Pei Chiyao at all. He kept himself busy playing with the little one in his arms.
Occasionally pinching Zhi Yao's paw, occasionally scratching her chin.
Of course, Pei Chiyao's favorite was Zhi Yao's tail.
The moment he touched the fox's tail, the little one in his arms went limp, allowing him to tease freely.
Zhi Yao stared at Pei Chiyao in astonishment. Two hundred million?!
If a cup of milk tea costs twenty bucks, then two hundred million... How many cups of milk tea could you buy?!
The little fox was shocked to the extreme.
Gu Changlin was also stunned. Everyone from the Gu family was in a panic. They had thought Pei Chiyao was just here to spectate, who would have thought he was also here to bid?!
Whenever Pei Chiyao set his sights on something, there was nothing he couldn't obtain.
Gu Changlin's heart was breaking.
"Two hundred and ten million..."
"Five hundred million."
Pei Chiyao didn't hesitate to raise the bid. It was almost ten o'clock, Zhi Yao's bedtime. He had to make a quick decision.
Five hundred million?!
Everyone went crazy.
You could buy a hundred pieces of jade of this quality with five hundred million!
Was Pei Chiyao out of his mind?!
Gu Changlin was completely dumbfounded.
During this gap, the host announced, "Five hundred million for the first time! Five hundred million for the second time!"
"Five hundred million for the third time!"
"Sold!"
Pei Chiyao promptly got up and headed backstage to collect the item and leave.
But as he took just a few steps, Gu Changlin caught up, "Mr. Pei, please wait!"
Pei Chiyao glanced back indifferently, looking at Gu Changlin, "Mr. Gu, what can I do for you?"
Gu Changlin looked uneasy, "Mr. Pei... I'm truly sorry. I was determined to get this jade. You've seen the situation with our Xiao Nuan. I won't hide it from you, this jade is for her. I hope it can dispel some of the evil spirits around her. So I sincerely ask Mr. Pei to let me have this jade, I'm willing to pay five hundred million for it."
Pei Chiyao arched an eyebrow, "Sorry, but I must have this jade pendant."
As he spoke, he was about to turn around when Gu Changlin couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Young Master Pei! This jade pendant may just be an ornament or a bauble to you, but to my daughter, it's a lifesaver!"
Ignoring him completely, Pei Chiyao headed straight for the backstage.
Zhi Yao, nestled in Pei Chiyao's arms, glanced at Xiao Nuan from afar. Xiao Nuan sat blankly in the arms of Lady Gu, her face pale.
Zhi Yao couldn't bear it any longer.
"Put away your pity."
Pei Chiyao could see through Zhi Yao's thoughts with just one glance. "If you truly want to become human, you can't give away this jade pendant."
Become human?!
Zhi Yao was instantly startled.
So, was this jade pendant meant for her?!
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
