The charity banquet began. After an exciting show, it was time for the charity auction.

This time, Mr. Lin did not prepare anything for auction. He planned to bid for one or two suitable items on the spot and use the auction proceeds as funds to do his part for charity.

The auctioneer was introducing a blue and white porcelain piece when Mr. Lin asked Lin Gantang, “How much do you think that is worth?”

“How would I know?” Lin Gantang said lazily.

“Aren’t you studying cultural relics appraisal?” Mr. Lin retorted.

“Yes, but I’m not a professional.”

Mr. Lin looked at her in disdain. “You’ve wasted for four years studying this. How dare you say that you don’t know anything?”

“Of course it’s my father’s love that has given me courage,” Lin Gantang said confidently.

“My fault?”

“Accept your daughter’s ordinariness.” Lin Gantang sighed and comforted him. “Anyway, you have an outstanding son. If I kidnap the CEO of the Wen Corporation, who is one of the most capable people in the world, you won’t lose out.”

Mr. Lin’s heart ached.

Seeing that her father did not refute and ‘deeply agreed’ with her, Lin Gantang was extremely gratified. She liked a reasonable father.

She glanced at the blue and white porcelain vase on the stage before slowly answering Mr. Lin’s initial question, “A fine blue and white porcelain collector would definitely not be willing to auction it here. The price given there is not high. It should be a folk kiln work from the late Qing Dynasty. This thing can’t withstand falling, and we still have cats at home. Dad, don’t bid for it.”

Mr. Lin raised his bid number.

Lin Gantang was speechless. To think that there was a rebellious period in the later years.

Mr. Lin won the bid for the blue and white porcelain piece. After that, there were a few items that he didn’t like. The two of them watched others bid until the ruby necklace appeared.

The gemstone was as red as fire, evenly transparent, gorgeous and eye-catching.

“I’ll make a bid for you. You’ll look good wearing it.” Mr. Lin raised his bid number and said, “There will be many banquets to attend in the future. You can’t lack jewelry. When you’re tired of wearing it, you can keep it.”

However, there were many people who took a fancy to this gemstone necklace. After Mr. Lin raised it a few times, there were still people who followed closely behind.

When the price was raised to a million, Lin Gantang felt that it was not worth it. She pressed down on Mr. Lin’s sign and said, “Is its quality as good as the sapphire that Yanqing gave me? Keep? Er..”

Mr. Lin was so angry that he immediately stopped bidding; he was utterly disgusted. She kept bringing up Wen Yanqing. Your boyfriend is the best, alright!

Mr. Lin didn’t want to bother with his annoying daughter, so he bought a piece of jade for Jiang Tongtong.

Heh, daughter? Scram.

After the banquet ended, Mr. Lin was stopped by Gu Liangdong. Lin Gantang waited for him at the entrance of the hotel.

Wang Yingying and Gan Minglu walked out side by side. Lin Gantang and the two of them could only be considered as acquaintances. They smiled politely at each other and waved goodbye.

Mr. Lin hadn’t come out when Yin He exited.

Yin He stopped in front of her with a smile and said, “Miss Lin hasn’t been to the Yin residence for a long time. Auntie Jiang misses you a little, so I’m taking the liberty to ask if you’re free to visit the Yin residence?”

“I’ll contact Auntie Jiang,” Lin Gantang replied lightly. “Thank you for reminding me.”

“You’re welcome. 1 saw Mr. Lin bidding for this gemstone necklace just now. Although I don’t know why you didn’t carry on bidding, but…” Yi He handed over something. “Since you like it, why don’t 1 give it to you?”

Lin Gantang glanced at him and saw that he was holding the ruby necklace from earlier.

“This accessory is not worth mentioning when compared to the profits from the collaboration between the Yin and Lin families. Miss Lin, you really don’t have to decline it.” Yi He smiled and held it up, patiently waiting for her to accept it.

“I’m not familiar with Mr. Yin, so 1 don’t dare to take such an expensive item from you,” Lin Gantang refused..
