After the auction pearl and the box were sent to Shen Chun, she took them and sized up them aloofly. When her gaze landed on Fu Qing, she saw a hint of smugness in her eyes.
Idiot. Shen Chun sneered. She didn’t even know how to pretend.
The auctioneer’s eyes became clear again. Then, she smiled and began the conclusion of the auction. “Congratulations, Miss Shen, for successfully winning the Thunder God Bead. Our auction for today…”
“Wait.” Shen Chun suddenly interrupted the auctioneer. Then, she raised the bead in her hand and asked loudly, “Are you sure 1 won the Thunder God Bead?”
The auctioneer was stunned. Before she could speak, Fu Qing, who was beside her, took the initiative to speak. Because of her guilty conscience, her voice was higher than usual. “Shen Chun, are you looking for trouble because you don’t have the money to pay? You’re so poor that I feel embarrassed sitting here with you.”
“If you feel embarrassed, get out!” Shen Chun’s gaze was fierce as she repeated her question. “I’m only asking you if the bead 1 won is the Thunder God Bead. Can your auction give me an accurate answer to this?”
The auctioneer glanced upstairs and said affirmatively, “Miss Shen, we’re very sure that you won the Thunder God Bead today.”
“Alright.” Shen Chun took out the pearl from the box. “Since I won the Thunder God Bead, why did your auction give me a fake pearl?”
As soon as she finished speaking, intense discussions erupted around her.
“What’s going on? This auction is organized by Sr. He. How could he give someone a fake?”
“Maybe Shen Chun doesn’t have enough money, so she’s looking for trouble. Although this bead isn’t expensive, it costs 100 million yuan. How can a bankrupt young lady like her afford it?”
“Then she’s doomed. Sr. He can’t tolerate trouble. Even Song Han and Xu Yan might not be able to protect her.”
Fu Qing didn’t expect Shen Chun to discover that the Thunder God Bead in her hand was fake. She held the real Thunder God Bead tightly and shouted, “Sr. He’s auction never scams people. What right do you have to say that the Thunder God Bead in your hand is fake?!”
Shen Chun didn’t answer her but looked upstairs.
“Sir, you know best if the Thunder God Bead in my hand is real or fake. I’m afraid that if you don’t come out to testify, the reputation of the auction house will be ruined by someone.”
No one expected Shen Chun to dare to speak to Sr. He directly. They all fell silent. Even Song Han secretly gave her a look and said in a low voice, “Cousin-in-law, you have to be polite to Sr. He. Otherwise, even I won’t be able to save you.”
Shen Chun nodded. When she looked upstairs, the door had already been opened. An old man with white hair walked out in a tunic suit.
“You’re quite discerning. You can tell the authenticity of the Thunder God Bead at a glance.” After Sr. He walked down the stairs, he passed Fu Qing and stood in front of Shen Chun.
“You did buy the real Thunder God Bead, but the one in your hand is just an ordinary bead. Our auction is very sorry for what happened, so I’ll give you this Thunder God Bead for free.”
Shen Chun raised her eyebrows slightly. “Is Sr. He talking about the real Thunder God Bead or the worthless bead in my hand?”
“Of course it’s the real Thunder God Bead.” Sr. He asked with a smile, “But you have to find that Thunder God Bead yourself.”
“That’s very easy.” Shen Chun looked at Fu Qing. “Miss Fu, you’ve seen enough. You should return my Thunder God Bead to me now.”
Everyone looked at Fu Qing, and even Sr. He looked over.
Fu Qing avoided everyone’s gaze guiltily. Then, she put on a fierce expression, but she didn’t have much confidence.
“I bid for these two pearls. If you say they’re yours, they’re yours?! Moreover, these two pearls were personally handed to me by the auctioneer. Everyone present can testify for me!”
Lin Huai echoed, “That’s right. We were the ones who bought this pearl. Now that you say that your Thunder God Bead is inside, we have to give it to you?”
Shen Chun couldn’t be bothered to argue with the two of them. She looked at Sr. He and said, “Sir, you know best where the Thunder God Bead is.”
“You’re right. I painstakingly found this Thunder God Bead from a lightning pool.” Then, Sr. He reached out and chanted an incantation in a low voice.
In the next second, the Thunder God Bead flew away from Fu Qing..
