Chapter 264: Tianxia Shopping Mall

Ye Bufan said, "How could that be? I am a pure and good doctor."

"Alright, I'll believe you this once," Qin Chuchu said, "Tell me in detail how you rescued Mo Mo."

Ye Bufan recounted the rescue process in detail again. After listening, she said indignantly, "I'm truly speechless. How can they favor males over females to such an extent? Compared to Mo Mo, I was much happier.

Although my grandparents favored Qin Guowei, they never used me to exchange for money."

Ye Bufan said, "Favoring males over females exists everywhere. Whether it's a Young Miss from a large Family or a daughter from an ordinary household, it's actually not much different.

Although a Young Miss from a large Family appears to have boundless glory, in the end, she cannot control her own marriage. Many become tools for Family alliances.

This is not much different from girls from ordinary families; in the end, it's all for the sake of gaining benefits for their own Family."

Qin Chuchu said somewhat dejectedly, "Forget it, let's not talk about this.

Mo Mo, that stubborn girl, is really something. I've known her for so long, and she never told me how hard she was living."

Ye Bufan said, "She is a woman with very strong self-esteem. She won't let people see her vulnerable side unless absolutely necessary."

Qin Chuchu looked at him and said, "Then how did you see it?"

Ye Bufan said, "Why are you asking me this? Didn't you lend me out?"

Qin Chuchu pouted and said playfully, "I feel like once you're lent out, you can't be taken back. Do you like Mo Mo?"

Ye Bufan said, "No."

"Really no? Mo Mo is so beautiful, didn't you feel anything at all?"

"I…"

Ye Bufan wanted to deny it again, but suddenly he remembered that the moment he discovered An Yimo was missing, it felt as if something important had been lost in his heart, driving him crazy.

"Sh-should be, no… no, right!"

He suddenly became a little unsure, speaking with a guilty conscience.

"What do you mean 'should be'? You clearly have no confidence." Qin Chuchu reached out and pinched his waist, "If you like her, just say it. What's there to be afraid of?"

Ye Bufan pulled her into his arms and said, "You're not jealous?"

Qin Chuchu thought for a moment and said, "Of course, there's a little bit of jealousy, but you're such a playboy. It's better if my best friend gets the benefit than an outsider."

Ye Bufan laughed, "Then do you have any more best friends? Introduce a few more to me."

"Dream on!" Qin Chuchu's expression suddenly darkened as she said this, "I originally only had two best friends: one is Mo Mo, and the other is Cao Xiaowan.

But after what happened that day, Xiaowan stopped talking to us. I heard she went to Africa with that Kanu a few days ago to become his princess."

Ye Bufan shook his head and said, "Being a princess isn't that easy. He's clearly a swindler; the hard times are definitely ahead."

Qin Chuchu said, "I hope she can truly become a princess. I hope she can be happy."

"Alright, let's go back and get some sleep."

Ye Bufan pulled her and said, "Or should we go back and continue?"

Qin Chuchu said, "The opportunity is gone. Who told you to go be a hero and save the beauty just now?"

"Can you be reasonable? You told me to go."

"Just because I tell you to go, you go?" Qin Chuchu stood up and said, "You go sleep alone. I'm going to hug the beautiful An Yimo and sleep."

After speaking, she entered An Yimo's room and slammed the door shut, locking it.

The next morning, the three of them sat together at the dining table. An Yimo said softly, "Xiaofan, thank you for yesterday."

"It's nothing. Let bygones be bygones. Don't think about it too much."

An Yimo smiled slightly: "Don't worry, the old An Yimo is dead. Starting today, it will be a brand new me."

Ye Bufan nodded: "That's good!"

No matter what, it was a good thing that An Yimo was able to emerge from yesterday's shadow.

Qin Chuchu said, "I've been free these past few days, so I'll go with Mo Mo to Longteng Pharmaceutical to work for you."

Ye Bufan laughed, "You can work, but I won't pay you."

Qin Chuchu glared at him: "Stingy."

Afterward, the two women went to Longteng Pharmaceutical together, and he went to Xinglin Garden for consultations as usual.

After a busy day, everything returned to peace, passing smoothly without any further disturbances.

When he got off work in the evening, just as Ye Bufan had changed his clothes, his phone rang. It was He Shuangshuang calling.

When the call connected, she said, "Xiaofan, there's an auction tonight. Can you accompany me?"

She had been busy with work recently and hadn't spent much time with Ye Bufan. Today, she finally had some free time. Going to the auction was an excuse; wanting Ye Bufan to accompany her was the real reason.

Ye Bufan asked, "What kind of auction is it? Are there any good items?"

He Shuangshuang

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

said, "It's an auction organized by Tianxia Shopping Mall. I don't know what you mean by 'good items,' but Tianxia Shopping Mall is the largest in Jiangnan City and often features sky-high auction items."

Ye Bufan thought for a moment. It wouldn't hurt to try his luck. The last Demon Refining Bottle was acquired at an auction.

He said, "Alright, I'll come pick you up now."

He drove to pick up He Shuangshuang, and then the two of them had dinner together. At nine o'clock in the evening, they arrived at Tianxia Shopping Mall.

The shopping mall's location was in the northern suburbs of Jiangnan City, built within a club. The entire building looked ancient and grand.

Ye Bufan said, "This place looks very good. How does it compare to the auction house at Paradise Club?"

He was just an ordinary student before, so he didn't know much about the upper-class society.

"There's no comparison at all," He Shuangshuang said. "Paradise Club is a property of the Luo Family, while Tianxia Shopping Mall belongs to the Dong family from the provincial capital.

The Dong family is also a large Family in the provincial capital, and their status is no less than that of the Gu Family. So, in terms of background, Paradise Club is several streets behind.

Furthermore, the auction at Paradise Club is just an add-on, while Tianxia Shopping Mall specializes in auctions.

The auctions here are very formal, and everything proceeds according to the rules. No one can violate them, and with the Dong family as the background, no one dares to cause trouble here."

The two entered the venue. He Shuangshuang was a member here. After registering, they received their auction paddles and a poster of the auction items.

They took their seats according to the paddle numbers. Ye Bufan looked at the poster, and the result disappointed him.

Most of the auction items listed on the poster were antiques, calligraphy, and paintings. Occasionally, there were some strange and rare items. Although these items were extremely valuable, unfortunately, none of them were what he wanted.

However, he quickly felt relieved. A Divine Artifact like the Demon Refining Bottle was a once-in-a-lifetime stroke of luck; it was impossible to encounter one every time he attended an auction.

He Shuangshuang said, "How is it? Are there any items you're interested in?"

Ye Bufan shook his head: "No."

He Shuangshuang said, "Auctions are always a matter of luck, but don't be too disappointed. Sometimes, guests attending the auction also bring some items to be auctioned, and perhaps there will be something you want among them."

Ye Bufan said, "Can guests also bring items to be auctioned here?"

He Shuangshuang said, "Yes. But they must be appraised by the Auctioneer here, and only items that reach a certain level are eligible to participate."
