As the hammer dropped, everyone picked up their tablets and marked their price. 

“The countdown for the first round of bidding begins! Ten, nine, eight…” 

As Manager Lin counted down, the screen behind him started to flash. Everyone’s bids were displayed on the screen one after another. 

“Those who didn’t bid in the first round will be considered to have forfeited the first round, however, it doesn’t matter. It won’t affect your bids for the next two rounds. Next, the prices will be announced. Mrs. Xu, 150 million yuan… Ms. Qiu, 148 million yuan… Ms. Qiao, 139,999 million yuan… Ms. Qiao Mo, 1.5 yuan… What? 1.5 yuan?” 

Manager Lin was confused by this strange bid of only 1.5 yuan! Had somebody made a mistake? 

“It was me who made the offer!” Qiao Mo stood up and said proudly, “Mommy said that money is not easy to come by. You can’t spend money just for the sake of spending money. Didn’t the host say that you can make any offer higher than 1 yuan? I want to buy a house for mommy!” 

Qiao Mo’s words caused everyone to laugh. 

Seeing that everyone was laughing at Qiao Mo, Qin Geng couldn’t sit still. “Don’t you dare laugh at my sister!” He stood up and shouted angrily. 

“Hey, isn’t that Geng?” Shen Lin, who had just entered the house, turned around and said to Anna. 

“It is Geng. Why is he with Qiao Nian?” Qin Geng normally did not go out. Very few people knew him, but Anna had seen him before. 

“Anna, you still don’t know, right? When I went to the Purple Jade Villa yesterday, Geng called Qiao Nian ‘Mommy’!” 

Shen Lin’s friendship with Anna was very superficial. Not only did she want to provoke Anna, but she also wanted to show Anna that she was privy to more sensitive information than she was. 

“Geng called Qiao Nian ‘Mommy’?” Anna was so angry that her eyes flashed red. 

Qin Yang was watching everything that was going on. 

“Alright, thank you everyone. In the first round of bidding, Mrs. Xu is temporarily in the lead. Thank you for your support for the Thirty-Two Prefectures and the Qin family. It is hard to say who will win in the end. Please watch a promotional video of the Thirty-Two Prefectures. We will start the second round of bidding soon.” 

Qiao Nian did not make any bids in the second round. She had already made a rough estimate and was now waiting for the third round of bidding. Moreover, she had also bet that Qin Yang would not go back on his word and would probably still use his privilege to make the final decision of selling the house to her. 

There were many buyers who shared the same thoughts as Qiao Nian. There were very few people who made bids for the second round, and the highest bid this time was actually lower than the first round. It seemed that everyone was waiting for the third round. 

After the second round, there was a tea party. Such an occasion was an excellent networking opportunity for socialites. 

“Why didn’t you make a bid in the second round? Stop pretending to be rich. If you beg, I don’t mind letting you go. You just need to kneel down and bow to me three times, and I will spare you from the punishment of barking like a dog in public!” 

“Is that so? Are certain that I’m poor? If that’s the case, then I’ll give you a piece of advice, don’t bite off more than you can chew!” 

Qiao Nian was too lazy to waste time with Qiao Shi. She rolled her eyes at her and let her be. Then, she brought Mo Mo and Geng to eat cake at the tea party. 

“What’s Qiao Nian’s background? I heard that she’s the one who made the bet with Qiao Shi Today?” 

“I’ve never seen her before. She’s really good-looking, but it’s a pity that she offended Qiao Shi.” 

“The two children she brought along are both very cute.” 

… 

Everyone kept talking about Qiao Nian. 

“Qiao Nian.” Anna held a glass of red wine and said casually, “She’s a jilted woman who got pregnant out of wedlock.” 

“Anna, you know about Qiao Nian?” 

“Tell us about her!” 

The gossipy socialites and wealthy ladies immediately surrounded Anna. 

“What’s there to talk about Qiao Nian? She’s an idiot. However, I am determined to get the Eleventh Building today. Please place your bids carefully!” 

Seeing that Anna had expressed her intention to get the Eleventh Building, the few socialites and wealthy ladies who were ready to make a move on the it immediately shut up. 

What a joke! Everyone knew that Anna was basically Mrs. Qin’s daughter-in-law at this point. Everyone could not help but secretly resent Anna for being unsightly. If she really wanted the house, wouldn’t the Qin family simply give it to her? 

However, no one wanted to speak up against Anna. What if she took revenge on them at St. Mary’s Hospital in the future?
