Yang Sitong looked over at Shi Guang, who was looking all pale as though she was finding it difficult to get off riding a tiger’s back, and gloated out coldly, feeling cathartic in her heart.

‘Why doesn’t she take a look at who she is? A mere swimming coach and she dares to try snatch away something from me! Know your place!’

Her taunting, her disdain, her contempt… Shi Guang took everything in, and was looking even more terrible right now.

Lu Yanchen, who was beside her, sat there with his cold, handsome face and looked at Shi Guang with a deep gaze. She had not moved for a long time now as the auctioneer was making the final checks for any higher offer.

He reached out for his number card…

However, before he could reach it, Shi Guang held his hand down. His eyes narrowed as he turned around to look at Shi Guang.

There was no longer that terrible and restless expression on Shi Guang’s face. She bore a faint smile on her face as she looked at him and shook her head gently.

In the beginning, she had really wanted to get her hands on this painting so that she could give it to her sister as a gift after she woke up.

But, Yang Sitong’s offer was immediately 10 times more than any normal offer. At that point, Shi Guang knew that given her financial status, no matter what she did, she would not be able to get her hands on this painting.

Since that was the case, she could give her sister the gift in another way.

A normal oil painting and yet it managed to auction for a sky-high price of 10,000,000… This would certainly make for a piece of explosive news, and her sister would have once again let the world know of the girl genius–Southern Orange–in another spectacular manner.

Furthermore, if her sister were to know that the painting she had done for charity back then was being sold for a sky-high price of 10,000,000, she would definitely be ecstatic!

These two gifts added together would be even greater than her breaking her back just to buy this painting back for her sister.

On the stage, the auctioneer knocked down on his hammer heavily, declaring, “The final bid stands at 10,000,000 to Miss Yang of Table 3!”

Shi Guang looked over at Yang Sitong far in the distance with a bright, sparkling smile.

As for Yang Sitong, who was smirking at Shi Guang the entire time, her expression froze up slightly as she harrumphed out coldly, convinced that Shi Guang was just finding a way out to not embarrass herself.

But for some unknown reason, she did not know why she didn’t feel the slightest bit of happiness.

She looked over at Su Ya and Yang Chifeng beside her. The two of them had an overcast expression, and did not look too good either.

Suddenly, her heart skipped furiously as her hands trembled slightly. She had suddenly realized that this was just a nameless painting! And yet, she had thrown out 10,000,000 for it!

Su Ya whispered softly in her ears, “You’re too brash.”

Yang Sitong moved her lips, wanting to say something, but she stopped herself.

She felt nothing about it in her heart–this was but just 10,000,000. To her, it was nothing much. It wasn’t as though she didn’t have money. If she was able to give that swimming coach a tight slap on her face with a mere 10,000,000, it would all be worth it.

The applauses were roaring as lights flashed throughout the entire hall, bringing the mood to a new climax.

The next two items displayed were bought away by their original owners. Actually, there was a sort of mutual understanding everyone had for events as such.

An auction for a fundraiser was mostly just for show to liven the mood. Most people would usually bid back for items that they had donated. It was first and foremost, just a show of one’s sincerity. And secondly, they knew how to gauge the price of their own items.

What Yang Sitong had donated this time around was a pair of limited edition earrings, with only three such pairs in the entire world. It was worth 500,000, and she had intended to buy it back with 100,000 more at 600,000.

When the auctioneer was done introducing her earrings, Yang Sitong raised her number.

The starting bid was 200,000, and she called for 600,000 immediately.

For most owners of their own items, they would usually bid out for a value much higher than the actual price at the start. With that, no one would try to outbid them or have any expectations for it.

However, this time around, things were different. Many people looked over at Shi Guang…
