Mr.CEO’s Ex-wife Escapes Again
Chapter 157 - 157 157 Spending His Money Like Water

Chapter 157: Chapter 157 Spending His Money Like Water Chapter 157: Chapter 157 Spending His Money Like Water Yin Hehe had no choice but to enter alone in the end.

Once she was led inside by the staff, she saw that the spacious and bright cultural building was already filled with many people waiting for the auction to start.

They were all dressed to the nines, and there were quite a few who looked like the wealthy ladies of Jiangbei.

“I heard that among the items up for auction this time, there’s a Colorful Glazed Vase that’s over a thousand years old.”

“Yeah, I heard about that too. There’s also a pair of Blood Jade Bracelets, supposedly from the imperial palace.”

“…”

A Colorful Glazed Vase?

And Blood Jade Bracelets?

When Yin Hehe heard these two names, she remembered she hadn’t seen these items listed in the auction catalog she browsed through on the way here, so she took it out and flipped through it again.

“Don’t bother flipping, those items won’t be listed there. You see this list, where there are no pictures or descriptions, only item numbers? Those are the valuable items.”

At that moment, someone beside her noticed her and kindly explained.

Yin Hehe immediately looked at the person, “I see, thank you.”

“Don’t mention it. Is this your first time here? Which family are you representing?”

The person gave Yin Hehe a quick once-over and, noting her plain clothes, blurted out the question.

Yin Hehe smiled, “Yes, the lady of our house didn’t have the time, so she sent me here at the last minute.”

“I see, no problem. Little sister, just stick with me. If there’s anything you’re unfamiliar with, just ask me.”

The kind person did not inquire any further after hearing her refer to her employer as the lady of the house and eagerly led her inside.

But just as Yin Hehe settled down next to this person, another group of people burst into the auction hall.

“Mrs. Tang, look, this is the place. I’ve heard that today’s items are quite exceptional.”

As luck would have it, among this group of newcomers was her stepmother, He Wanqiu!

At that moment, she was accompanying a lavishly dressed lady, her face full of flattery as she walked forward.

Yin Hehe quickly ducked out of sight.

“Sister, who are those people?”

“You’re asking about them?” Upon hearing this, the woman sitting beside her immediately displayed a hint of disdain.

“That one who’s fawning over everyone, that’s the second wife of the Yin Family. She’s the most disgusting woman ever. Whoever has power in Jiangbei, she flatters. Before it was Mrs. He, now it’s Mrs. Tang’s turn.”

“Mrs. He?” Yin Hehe was momentarily taken aback.

“You mean Mr. He Li’s wife?”

“Exactly, that’s him. Unfortunately for him, he’s recently fallen out of favor due to issues with the Lan Family from the Provincial City. Then the husband of Mrs. Tang took his place. Just look at how revoltingly this second wife of the Yin Family is buttering up to the new power.”

When the woman spoke about He Wanqiu, she had used four different terms to describe her sucking up and flattery.

It was clear how much she despised such women.

Indeed, Yin Hehe also felt revulsion.

The He Family has fallen from power?

Yin Hehe hadn’t paid attention to external affairs recently and was shocked to hear that this person had been ousted.

It seemed that the Lan Family had a significant influence.

However, for Yin Rong’s family, this might not necessarily be bad news considering they had previously had a falling out with the He Family.

Now that a new Tang Family member had taken charge, it was like a new opportunity had arisen for her.

Yin Hehe watched the woman who had taken her seat and was still actively ingratiating herself with Mrs. Tang.

Her eyes darkened with thought.

Thinking of making a comeback?

Heh, keep dreaming!

“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our ‘Dreams of a Thousand Years’ themed auction. I am the organizer of this event,”

As she sat there deep in thought, the auction officially began.

Seeing this, Yin Hehe immediately straightened up and clutched the bidder number in her hand tightly.

She was truly a bit nervous.

Indeed, she had been to auctions before, but as that man said, those were just legal seizure auctions. After being sent there by lawyers, they would always bid according to the directions of their clients.

Unlike now, she didn’t even know what items to bid on.

Right, why not ask?

She suddenly thought of this, abruptly took out her phone, and composed a text message to send.

[Mr. Sheng, what do you want to bid on?]

[…]

The man at the other end of the phone, currently in a meeting, suddenly noticed his phone screen light up beside him.

[Whatever.]

He picked it up and replied to the message right in front of all the company executives.

The sight of it made everyone’s eyes widen in shock.

Could it be? The president is actually replying to messages in a meeting? But he had explicitly forbidden touching phones for any reason during meetings before.

“What are you all staring at me for? Keep the meeting going!”

After sending the message, the man raised his head; finally noticing the silence around the conference table, his handsome face flashed a hint of discomfort before he sternly chided them.

The rest could only obediently continue the meeting.

But soon, the phone on the table lit up again.

[Dear Longteng member, hello. You have just won the golden hairpin with cloud patterns for 1.2 million. Congratulations!]

[…]

[Dear Longteng member, hello. You have just won a pair of Gold Inlaid Agate Cups for 3.8 million. Congratulations!]

[Dear Longteng member…]

[…]

A dozen messages in a row, all winning bid notifications from the auction, made the man’s temples throb violently, leaving him with no time to pay attention to the meeting anymore.

“President, if you have something important, perhaps we can adjourn the meeting…”

“No need!”

He ground out the words through clenched teeth; the next second, he turned off his phone and stuffed it into his pocket.

This damn woman, was she really so ignorant? Buying all kinds of junk, couldn’t she buy something more tasteful?

He didn’t bother with it anymore.

And he wasn’t aware that at the auction, Yin Hehe wasn’t just buying recklessly.

The reason she bid on so many items was entirely that He Wanqiu had set her sights on them, intending to gift them to Mrs. Tang.

“Mrs. Tang, I’m truly sorry; I don’t know how a troublemaker suddenly appeared here. Just wait, I’ll go and confront her right away.”

He Wanqiu failed to win the bids she wanted several times.

After placating Mrs. Tang next to her with angry indignation, she marched off furiously towards the back.

Yin Hehe, seeing this, didn’t hide; she just waited openly for her in the back.

“So it’s you!”

Upon finally seeing the person, the woman felt as if she was pinned to the spot, her aggressiveness melting away.

After all, the Baiqing Building incident last time had left her with no small amount of trauma.

“Yes, Mrs. Yin, we meet again.” Yin Hehe also greeted her with a smile.

Seeing this, the woman’s eyes filled with even deeper resentment and anger.

“Did you come here today just to ruin my day on purpose?”

“Yo, Mrs. Yin, what are you talking about? I’m just here on Mr. Sheng’s behalf today, and it’s a mere coincidence that I ran into you. There’s nothing I can do about it.”

She shrugged her shoulders.

Mr. Sheng? Sheng Siyuan?

As soon as she said this, the woman’s face changed.

“You mean to say, Sheng Siyuan asked you to buy stuff at the auction? What a joke, would a man like him want those trinkets you’ve just bid on? I think it’s your own idea, to spoil my event, spending over ten million from your own pocket!”

Unexpectedly, the woman quickly regained her composure and seized on Yin Hehe’s slip, attacking her immediately.

Yin Hehe’s expression shifted.

It was over; in her eagerness to suppress that wretch, she hadn’t thought about the consequences, and now she really had to pay up.

That bastard, why would he foot the bill for her?
