The Young Matriarch-Chapter 198: Love to Buy, Buy; If Not, Scram

Chapter 198 -198: Love to Buy, Buy; If Not, Scram

Before boarding the plane, Mr. Liu gave Li Sheng, the owner of the Hongmeng Auction House, a call, “Thank you, Mr. Li, for your concern. The search and rescue team has already saved my son.”

Even though Li Sheng had mentally prepared himself, he still inhaled sharply when he received the call.

Badass.

A real big shot’s badass.

If they don’t act, they don’t act, but when they do, they could scare someone to death.

Little Yellow Hair brought over a cup of Da Hong Pao tea and asked, “Boss, what do we do now? Will our auction house still sell Hengshan Hermit’s Spirit Talismans in the future?”

Li Sheng was sitting on a soft sofa, and when he saw the small piece of jade stone on the table, he strangely reached out a hand to pick it up and put it in his mouth.

“Crack–” Li Sheng’s teeth hurt from the bite, almost drawing blood.

This was definitely not tofu dregs, it was waste material carved with a leaf acting as a knife!

Slapping his thigh, Li Sheng declared, “From now on, Hongmeng Auction House will no longer sell Hengshan Hermit’s Spirit Talismans; instead, we will sell Miss Bai’s Spirit Talismans. Moreover, we will only auction off two each month, and the starting bid must go up! The entry ticket prices must go up as well!”

He was going for hunger marketing. Two a month, take it or leave it. If not, get lost. There are plenty of people fighting to buy them!

As he spoke, Li Sheng cautiously stood up and put the stack of Spirit Talismans into a small safe box, which was then locked in a larger safe about twenty inches in size.

He then had his bodyguards take down the hanging paintings in the third-floor living room, revealing a hidden compartment behind one of them, into which he then placed the safe.

Li Sheng was very pleased with his nesting-doll-like arrangement, “I’d like to see who has the skills to steal my Spirit Talismans now!”

Triple security, oh yeah!

The gentle sunshine of the early summer morning fell into the room, and Bai Chuwei made the last cut, stretching her arms, “Finally, it’s done!”

Xue Qiu crawled over groggily, opening its big eyes wide to look at the wooden sculpture that was about the same size as its figure.

The mystical creature had its head held high, looking like a tiger or a leopard with a dragon’s tail cocked arrogantly into the air, every detail carved to perfection.

‘Wooden lion.’

Bai Chuwei was very dissatisfied, “Wooden lion? What I carved is clearly a Pixiu!”

Content with her work, Bai Chuwei packed the wooden Pixiu into her backpack and nonchalantly went downstairs.

But upon reaching the dining table, she noticed it was different from usual. The breakfast hadn’t been served yet, and Aunt Chen was busy in the kitchen.

“I am sorry, Miss Chuwei. I felt a bit sick this morning, so I got up late. Breakfast will be another ten minutes,” Aunt Chen said.

Before Bai Chuwei could reply, Bai Hongguang across the table added, “Who doesn’t make mistakes occasionally? It’s alright to have breakfast a little later today!”

Aunt Chen’s face bloomed like spring, nodding, “Mr. is right, thank you for your understanding, Sir.”

Bai Chuwei suppressed her laughter with her chin on her hand.

In her years of practicing medicine, she had never seen a sick person with such a glowing face.

Bai Chuwei gently tugged at the leaves of the fresh flowers in the glass vase on the dining table, turning to Bai Yinyin, who was not in a good mood, “What do you think of these leaves?”

Bai Yinyin was confused, “What about them? Aren’t they just leaves?”

With a smile in her voice, Bai Chuwei said, “I think these leaves are greener than before.”

At those words, Aunt Chen and Bai Hongguang, who were secretly communicating with their eyes and enjoying their affair, felt a jolt of alarm. Surely, her words didn’t have a deeper meaning, did they?

Bai Chuwei took pleasure in observing the slight expressions of everyone, then got up, picked up her backpack, and said lazily, “You don’t need to take me to school today. I have other things to do this morning.”
