From Sidekick to Bigshot Novel - Chapter 1279

Chapter 1279: Auction (1)

A lot of big shots were gathered at the auction of the land west of Beijing.

Everyone wanted to buy this land. However, most of them knew that they were not likely to win the bid. After all, the Qin Group was also determined to win this piece of land. This meant that the probability of other families winning the bid was not large.

Qin Chuan arrived at the auction with his girlfriend Mo Shiyun.

The couple was very eye-catching.

Many people went to greet the two of them. They also flattered Qin Chuan and Mo Shiyun attentively.

Upon hearing the praise, Qin Chuan did not really react. On the other hand, Mo Shiyun’s face was slightly flushed. She felt very happy listening to these flattering words.

Suddenly, the crowd that surrounded Qin Chuan and Mo Shiyun looked in another direction.

Their attention was redirected to Zhai Yunsheng. Today, Zhai Yunsheng was wearing a dark suit that showed off his well-proportioned body. There was a deep gaze in his eyes.

Jian Yiling stood beside him. She was wearing simple clothing which highlighted her natural beauty.

Why was Zhai Yunsheng also here?

…

Wasn’t the Zhai family bankrupt?

Didn’t their own home get auctioned off?

Then why was he here to bid for the piece of land?

Everyone had doubts in their minds when they saw Zhai Yunsheng’s appearance.

But because of the presence of Jian Yiling, no one dared to directly ridicule Zhai Yunsheng.

After all, even if the Zhai family went bankrupt, Jian Yiling still had a lot of assets under her name.

Maybe she was intending to purchase this piece of land to open up another Lahaisen Hospital branch. That was also a possibility.

When Zhai Yunsheng and Qin Chuan’s eyes met, the crowd felt a hint of tension in the atmosphere.

“Young Master Zhai, are you here to bid on the plot of land today?” Qin Chuan opened his mouth and asked Zhai Yunsheng.

“What else would I be doing here? Would I come here to play?” Zhai Yunsheng replied with a smile. The smile on his lips was evil and charming.

“Where are you getting the money from?” Qin Chuan continued to ask. It was as though he was mocking Zhai Yunsheng’s overconfidence.

Upon being asked this, the person who stood next to Qin Chuan piped up: “He’s relying on his wife!”

When everyone else heard this, they had to cover their mouths to not laugh out loud.

Everyone here came from a formidable family or had a large business to back them up. Therefore, they all interacted with Zhai Yunsheng to some degree in the past.

The man they all feared in the past had to rely on his wife for support. Wasn’t this absolutely hilarious?

Despite hearing these words, the smile on Zhai Yunsheng’s face did not diminish. Instead, he replied: “Mr. Qin, are you jealous that I have a wife that I can rely on? On the other hand, you only have a girlfriend who holds you back with scandals and improper conduct.”

Upon hearing this, Mo Shiyun’s grasp on Qin Chuan’s hand tightened.

She knew that what happened to her was known to everyone. Secretly, there were many people cursing her and despising her behind her back.

But because of her relationship with Qin Chuan, no one dared to say anything in front of her.

At this time, Qin Chuan, who should have defended Mo Shiyun, instead turned his gaze towards Jian Yiling. He asked: “Is he worth it?”

In Qin Chuan’s memory of his previous life, Zhai Yunsheng was not a good person.

He was cynical and did not even take his own life seriously.

He was also the person who caused his own death.

Qin Chuan’s actions made Mo Shiyun even more nervous.

She hoped for Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling to leave quickly and not appear in front of Qin Chuan again.

Every time Jian Yiling appeared in front of Qin Chuan, Mo Shiyun would become incredibly nervous.

“Yep,” Jian Yiling replied without the slightest hesitation.

Then, Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling walked over to their seats.
