Chapter 8 Could You Be Any More Obvious with Your Jealousy?

The auction hall on the second floor was conducting the final opening ceremony, and many guests had not taken their seats, instead gathering at the bar tables at the back to chat.

Song Yan arrived just in time.

"Miss Song, Miss Song..." a male voice called after her from behind, and Song Yan paused in her steps.

The man calling her was none other than Young Director Yan, Yan Ao, mentioned by Jiang Jingnan. He had chased her all the way from the first floor and finally caught up with her.

Since he'd caught up to her, it wasn't right for her to just dismiss him rudely, especially since the auction was about to start soon. She just needed to deal with a few sentences and be done with it.

During this time, Song Yan suddenly heard a somewhat familiar female voice, dripping with sarcasm, "She really knows how to seduce men; wherever she goes, she ensnares them."

Song Yan looked towards the source of the voice and, as expected, saw a familiar face.

Having been in the industry for four years, she had offended countless people.

Chen Man, the woman who had just spoken, was one of them.

The woman next to Chen Man scoffed coldly and spoke without any mercy, "Could you be any more obvious with your jealousy?"

Then she turned to glance in Song Yan's direction, "Some women are just like that, no need to take off their clothes; they just stand in a crowd and there are plenty of men scrambling to submit to them."

Although the words were crass, there was no hint of sarcasm in her tone.

Chen Man's face couldn't quite maintain its composure; she had thought the woman would share her animosity, but instead, she had snapped back at her.

After greeting Yan Ao, Song Yan turned and walked over, the white light shining on her, dazzling and bright.

Dressed in a black spaghetti strap long dress, Song Yan was as majestic as a black swan, her presence overwhelming Chen Man, who froze on the spot.

Song Yan walked straight up to Chen Man. Chen Man came to her senses and looked at her warily, "What do you want?"

With her red lips parting slightly, Song Yan uttered two words indifferently, "Your seat."

Chen Man found this unbelievable, "Why should I give up my seat for you!"

Song Yan did not speak further, only looking down at her with a chilling gaze.

That demeanor gave off an intense, invisible pressure that was inexplicably frightening.

The atmosphere became tense for a moment.

In the end, Chen Man stood up and vacated the seat for her, though very reluctantly. But she noticed Yan Ao frequently glancing over from behind Song Yan.

It was common knowledge that Youfang's Young Director Yan was fervently pursuing Song Yan...

Having taken her seat, Song Yan didn't care about Chen Man's thoughts; she was only interested in the outcome. As for the rest, it was irrelevant to her.

This Miss Song was indeed as arrogant as the rumors made her out to be.

The woman beside her nodded in greeting as an introduction.

Song Yan acknowledged her in return.

Once the staff finished distributing the paddles, the auction officially began.

About seventy to eighty people had come tonight, mostly from the business world, all for a piece of land for development.

The bidding for the land was to be the grand finale of the evening, but before that, there was a charity auction. All the proceeds raised would be donated to charity organizations.

Everyone there tonight was focused on the land; they were hardly interested in anything else and wanted to get the other items out of the way quickly.

However, the collection piece that was revealed was quite unexpected.

It was a treasured Blood Jade, donated by a philanthropist who wished to remain unnamed.

Blood Jade, also known as Lovesick Jade, is entirely blood-red and extremely rare. Often used to make jade rings, after being carved and polished, it resembles a tiny red bean, which is why many people call it Lovesick Jade.

The nearly flawless, translucent jade the host was holding was almost extinct on the market, and when the cover was lifted, the female guests couldn't help but exclaim in high voices, urging the men beside them to bid for this Lovesick Jade for them.

Song Yan was there tonight for it as well.
