CHAPTER 160: CHAPTER 160: A TOAD LUSTING AFTER SWAN MEAT

Girls, never say "I’m not worthy"!

Qin Xin’s bold declaration sent ripples through Song Anjing’s mind.

Indeed, why did she feel she wasn’t worthy of having beautiful things?

Was it because beautiful things were priced so expensively?

But even if she didn’t have the means now, does she have to resign to mediocrity all her life, unworthy of those beautiful things?

Song Anjing felt stirred and couldn’t calm down for a long time.

On stage, the auction was still in full swing.

Shen Bixue and Bai Chi were already butting heads, the price surging from 10 million to 50 million.

Just when the two were about to continue raising their bids, suddenly, the host Chen Shi announced: "Sorry, I have a recent update for everyone. My master has decided that today’s two dresses won’t be auctioned."

"Huh???"

The audience was filled with waves of surprise and confusion.

Qin Wenrou, who was about to have the dresses in hand, was stunned.

Bai Chi was anxious: "It’s not like I can’t afford it, why can’t they be auctioned?"

Shen Bixue gritted her teeth: "Hmph, this dress was designed for me by Q Emperor!"

Chen Shi apologized, "Everything follows my master’s decision. He says to thank everyone for attending today, all ticket proceeds will be donated to charity. Additionally, to thank everyone for their support, these two dresses will be given away for free via a raffle, without him taking a dime. So..."

He glanced at Bai Chi: "Money isn’t the issue."

Then he looked at Shen Bixue: "Which guest lady luck favors, that’s the key."

Chen Shi’s words fell.

The whole venue erupted.

"Raffle, raffle!"

"Everyone has a chance, Q Emperor is so understanding!"

"Art is no longer a game of money, I support Q Emperor!"

Shen Bixue propped her chin satisfactorily and nodded: "Alright, I’m willing to bet on luck!"

Qin Wenrou, though surprised, had eyes shining with hope, maybe lady luck would favor her!

Only Bai Chi felt lost: "My luck has been a bit bad lately... Why can’t we rely on money, sigh."

The host announced: "Now please take a look at your seat number and remember it. For example, Shen, your seat number is 09, Emperor Huo is 10. When the raffle app starts, whichever number appears on the screen, that guest wins. Got it?"

"Got it, got it, start quickly!"

The guests couldn’t wait any longer.

Qin Wenrou glanced at her seat number, 88.

What a lucky, great number!

She felt the "Ice Princess" dress was getting closer to her.

From afar, she saw Qin Xin and Song Anjing’s group in the front row, Song Anjing with both hands clasped together seemed to be silently praying.

Qin Wenrou couldn’t help but secretly sneer: "Truly a country bumpkin, thinking a last-minute prayer will bring koi luck? Couldn’t afford to bid and snuck in with two tickets dreaming of Q Emperor’s dress, like a toad wanting to eat swan meat!"

If Qin Wenrou initially worried that Qin Xin and Song Anjing might have some background, she was now completely unworried.

That ugly creature just had a slightly good relationship with Ao Xinghao, yet Ao Xinghao didn’t even show up.

Today they managed to sneak in either by trickery or dumb luck, or maybe Q Emperor is just too kind-hearted, letting them slip through.

Otherwise, during the auction, why did these few dare not utter a peep?

Haha, at the critical moment, these country poor wretches finally show their true colors, right?

How can they compare to her, even without Lan Yingjun and Hu Yi, she still has Mr. Bai to support her!
