At this moment, the auction finally began.

The wealthy merchants chose the plots of land they favored and started bidding along.

Qin Zhen remained silent, watching until the auction for the suburban land he liked officially commenced. Shen Qingyue was nowhere to be seen, and at the thought of this, he furrowed his brows. Could it be that Shen Qingyue made a lot of noise but had little intention of taking his land? Was she playing a game of cat and mouse, trying to attract his attention?

Thinking about this, Qin Zhen suddenly felt bored. This woman always acted this way. When would she come up with something new? He and her were no longer possible, so couldn’t she just live her own life?

Wei Jiu’er noticed Qin Zhen’s emotions and felt somewhat displeased. However, considering that from now on, Shen Qingyue would not threaten her anymore, she felt relieved. At this moment, her phone vibrated, and she slightly avoided Qin Zhen’s gaze, opening the message. Her expression changed upon reading it. Those idiots! They let Shen Qingyue escape? She spent so much money for nothing!

Shortly after, a message from Ling Bing’er arrived: [Sister-in-law, my people let Shen Qingyue escape. You must make my brother bid for the land quickly. I’m afraid that cunning woman Shen Qingyue will cause trouble.]

Wei Jiu’er wanted to rush to Ling Bing’er and curse her for being useless! They already caught the person, how could she escape? Damn it, do the people she hired have no brains? However, she could only curse in her heart; she still had to comfort Ling Bing’er on the surface. But before she could finish typing, a male voice sounded in her ear, “What did Binger do to Shen Qingyue?”

Wei Jiu’er trembled in fear and instinctively hid her phone, saying, “It’s nothing…”

Qin Zhen’s gaze turned serious. “Jiu’er, you promised me you wouldn’t lie to me again.”

Wei Jiu’er understood that Qin Zhen no longer trusted her as before. After hesitating for a moment, she could only tell him the truth, “Bing’er was worried that Shen Qingyue would snatch your land, so she hired people to tie her up, preventing her from attending the auction today! I really tried to dissuade her, but she didn’t listen to me because she was worried about you.

She even told me not to tell you…”

“Nonsense!” Qin Zhen stood up in anger. “1 do want this land, but there’s no need to resort to such despicable means! In your eyes, am I such a weakling?

Unable to even secure a piece of land?”

Wei Jiu’er’s eyes were teary. “Bing’er just wanted to help you a bit…”

“Do I need her help? Do you all look down on me like that? And you, knowing what she was going to do, didn’t even tell me. What were you thinking?” Qin Zhen was about to explode.

“I just didn’t want you to quarrel with Bing’er over Shen Qingyue, so I didn’t say anything. If I had, you…” Wei Jiu’er tried to reach out and grab him but was shaken off by Qin Zhen.

“Shen Qingyue isn’t an outsider; she’s my wife!” Qin Zhen realized what he said only after speaking. He had already divorced Shen Qingyue, so they had no relationship anymore.

Wei Jiu’er tightly clutched her clothes, almost tearing her skirt with her nails. So, in Qin Zhen’s eyes, his wife was still Shen Qingyue. Then, what was she? She had calculated everything over the years, securing the position of the Qin family’s lady, and she would never let it slip away. That cunning Shen Qingyue must die!

As the two were talking, the bidding for the suburban land had already started.

Yet, Qin Zhen hesitated and did not raise his paddle.

Wei Jiu’er noticed this and whispered, “This is still within our budget, and nobody else seems so eager for this land. If we bid with the starting price, we’ll definitely win it! No matter what, business matters can’t be delayed.”

Qin Zhen remained silent. By now, the bidding had reached four hundred million! His bottom line was five hundred million, and nobody would outbid him. As long as he shouted his price, and Shen Qingyue did not appear, the land would be his.

Seeing Oin Zhen still hesitating, Wei Jiu’er wanted to curse. He had told her before, in the business world, there was no room for feelings, and one must avoid being emotional. But what about now? He was concerned about Shen Qingyue! She also knew that in Zhen was not satisfied with her anymore, so saying anything now would only make him resent her more. Therefore, she kept quiet. However, she could not accept this; how could it be? Every step had gone as planned, and she had already held in Zhen in her hands. When did he slip away from her control?

As in Zhen continued to hesitate, the bidding reached 450 million. At this point, in Zhen knew he couldn’t hesitate any longer. If he kept waiting, this land would not be his or Shen Oingyue’s. Finally, he called out his price.. 500 million!
