Chapter 2664: Belongs to That Gentleman

But only when the money is completely paid off, is everything truly resolved.

Tomorrow, the Ruan Family’s assets will be auctioned off.

Jian Yufei didn’t expect this day to come so soon...

The Ruan Family is everything to the Ruan Family, and just like that, it’s gone. Jian Yufei feels really upset.

"Grandpa, don’t be too sad. Out with the old, in with the new."

After saying this, Jian Yufei wished she could sew her mouth shut. How could she say such words of comfort?

Ruan Anguo chuckled and said, "I’m planning to attend the auction tomorrow. Do you want to come?"

Jian Yufei happens to have a day off tomorrow: "Sure, I’ll go too."

It’s good to take one last look; otherwise, it won’t belong to the Ruan Family anymore.

The auction items include not only some of the Ruan Family’s fixed assets and intangible assets, but also their antique furniture or other valuable items.

Jian Yufei still has some money on hand.

Maybe she can spend to buy one or two things as keepsakes.

...

Ruan Anguo, Ruan’s father, Ruan’s mother, and Jian Yufei all attended the auction.

Logically, they would avoid coming to such an occasion, as no one wants to watch their family’s belongings being auctioned off.

But they all came because they couldn’t let go.

Many people came to attend the auction.

They were quite interested in the Ruan Family’s possessions. Jian Yufei noticed that many people came with a determined mindset to win.

They sat in the corner, and some people noticed them, but no one discussed them.

In such settings, everyone maintains their decorum.

The first auction item was a pair of Jade Bracelets owned by Ruan’s mother, starting at two hundred thousand.

Jian Yufei originally planned to buy a small item as a memento, but the first item was this expensive. She didn’t have enough money, so it seemed hopeless.

Ruan’s mother stared at the pair of Jade Bracelets and suddenly murmured, "That was something my mother gave me..."

Ruan’s father, moved, tightened his grip on her hand.

"Yulan, I’m sorry..."

Ruan’s mother laughed, "I just feel a bit emotional, don’t take it to heart. Things are just things, as long as people are around."

Jian Yufei felt a bit sad inside.

As long as people are around, is Ruan Tianling still around?

"Three hundred thousand."

"Three hundred and ten thousand."

The bidding at the site had begun, each paddle raised added ten thousand.

The host on stage kept announcing, "Three hundred and eighty thousand, is there anyone else offering?"

This auction was different from those where the state confiscates private property and then auctions it off.

This auction was not conducted by the public, but by the Ruan Family.

The more items auctioned, the more the Ruan Family gets.

Ruan’s mother felt some solace hearing the prices continuously rise.

At least, the items weren’t sold cheaply. The higher they offer, the more the Ruan Family gets.

"Four hundred and fifty thousand, is there anyone who wants to bid more?"

The Jade Bracelet, valued at over two hundred thousand, was sold for over four hundred thousand, which was a good profit.

No one else raised the bid, and the host finalized it with a gavel, "These Jade Bracelets belong to that gentleman."

Jian Yufei and the others looked towards the far corner.

There sat a handsome man.

Facing everyone’s gaze, he casually flashed a ’don’t worship me, I’m just rich’ smile, causing everyone to roll their eyes at him.

Idiot, spending that much money on a pair of Jade Bracelets, even wealth isn’t squandered like this.

Besides, it’s not enough to show off wealth, right?

Among those present, who wasn’t rich?
