Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Meng Ying’s thoughts stirred rapidly after hearing what Ah Da had said about the buildings.

The reason why the nearly-completed buildings that were built five years ago were abandoned was that it was deemed to be haunted?

‘Ha, who are you kidding?’

But if it was not true, why were the buildings abandoned?

“I want it.”

Ah Da thought he had heard wrongly. “What did you say?”

Meng Ying said, “I want the buildings.”

Ah Da was surprised. “Are you kidding?”

“Do you think I am?” Meng Ying smiled at him. “No matter what you do, get it for me.”

Ah Da could not understand what was going on in that woman’s head.

Now, he felt that she might really be a fool.

“We can get the property rights, but Madam, there’s something I have to tell you…”

“Back then, a few developers wanted to take over this property, but in the end, they either fell sick or got into a car accident…”

“The people in the real estate industry all say that this place is haunted. If you want this place, not only will you not be able to earn money, you might even lose your life.”

The Ninth Master had said that she was allowed to do whatever she wanted as long as it wasn’t dangerous.

But the buildings didn’t sound safe.

Meng Ying raised her eyebrows and walked to him. “I don’t care if it’s haunted or not. I want it.”

“Then you need to ask Sir.”

“I am rich and I don’t need him to pay. Why do I have to ask him?” Meng Ying was unhappy. “If you don’t want to help, I can ask someone else.”

Ah Da frowned.

Why was this woman so difficult to deal with?

“There’s an auction tomorrow night. The property rights are also in the auction items.”

…

Meng Ying held Mu Yuansheng’s arm and walked into the auction venue. She looked around as if she was green and inexperienced.

“Hubby, I’ll buy you anything you want.” Meng Ying smiled at Mu Yuansheng.

There was a hint of love in that smile.

She must dote on such a good-looking man.

Mu Yuansheng was like a kept gigolo who had found a rich foolish woman who only knew how to spend money.

He didn’t want to come with her at first, but there was something he wanted at the auction today.

“We’ll see later.”

“Alright.”

After entering the venue, Meng Ying and Mu Yuansheng sat at the back to avoid standing out in the crowd.

The auction started soon after. Every item that was brought up for auction was rare.

Meng Ying rested against Mu Yuansheng as the items being auctioned weren’t what she wanted.

Afraid that she would fall asleep again, Mu Yuansheng reminded her from time to time, “The item you want is coming up next.”

Meng Ying perked up and waited patiently.

She stared at the emcee on the stage, afraid that she would miss the item that she longed for.

If not for the formalities, she would have rushed up the stage to snatch it.

Mu Yuansheng knew a little about the abandoned building that had been reported as a “haunted villa” two years ago. Most of the media used the words “inauspicious”, “haunted house”, and “haunted by evil spirits” to describe that place. It had been the talk of the town back then.

At that time, there were still some who didn’t believe in the supernatural. In the end, they all left the place in a trance.

Eventually, no one dared to enter it anymore.

Even the homeless would not rest inside.

“The next item is a little special. It’s the property rights of the ‘Leaping Dragon Bay’ villa. The starting price is 50 million dollars.”

Although everyone already knew that the land rights of “Leaping Dragon Bay” were in this auction, when they really saw it being auctioned, it still caused quite a bit of discussion.

The property rights were originally supposed to be auctioned by the State Administration of Land. It really must be a hot potato seeing that it was placed in such an auction.

50 million dollars was nothing to the people present.

Unfortunately, no one would dare to take over even if it was just five million dollars.

Anyone who took over it would be ruined.

No one’s money came easily. They could buy a good sports car for 50 million dollars.

No one answered.

The emcee seemed to have expected this outcome and carried on with the usual procedure. “The property rights of the ‘Leaping Dragon Bay’ villa will be auctioned for 50 million. Going twice…”

He wanted to speed up the process as he was afraid that if he dragged on for too long, he would be stained with the bad luck of the words “Leaping Dragon Bay”.

“Hubby, that villa’s name doesn’t sound nice. Leaping Dragon means that the dragon is already mid-leap. That’s inauspicious.” Meng Ying shook her head seriously. “It would have prospered if it had a different name.”

Noticing that she was holding up the bidder’s card, Mu Yuansheng asked again, “Do you really want to buy it?”

“Yeah,” Meng Ying said. “It’s only 50 million dollars. It will still be pleasing to the eye as a garden if I demolished the houses.”

“The property rights of the ‘Leaping Dragon Bay’ villa will be auctioned for 50 million. Going thrice…”

“I want it.” A pleasant female voice came from behind, just as the host was about to announce that the auction was off.

The emcee caught sight of the woman who held up the number 18. Although she was sitting down on a low profile, one look at her and one would be captivated by her beauty.

Meng Ying winked at the emcee and her red lips curled up. “I want the property rights.”

She repeated her words.

Everyone turned to look at her.

They all wanted to know who this woman was.

“It’s Meng Ying!” Zou Jiao’s eyes turned red when she saw Meng Ying.

The man sitting beside Zou Jiao also saw Meng Ying. When he heard what Zou Jiao said, he frowned. “Who did you say she was?”

“That fool, Meng Ying,” Zou Jiao said hatefully. “She insulted me twice. I will pay her back double the price one day!”

Lu Jingyang narrowed his eyes. “Are you sure you didn’t recognize the wrong person?”

Zou Jiao was surprised. “You didn’t know? She’s Meng Ying, really.”

Lu Jingyang had seen a beauty standing beside the Meng family from afar that time during Meng Yuan’s birthday. He had wondered who that beautiful female guest was.

Unexpectedly, it was actually Meng Ying!

How could that ugly woman look so beautiful without makeup?

He looked at the man beside Meng Ying and frowned.

Sometimes, men were just like women. They were very sensitive to the same gender and would subconsciously place the other party as their target of caution.

As a man, Lu Jingyang felt that the man sitting beside Meng Ying was not kind.

“Who is that man?”

“I heard from Meng Xin that she’s married. He should be her husband.”

“She’s married?” Lu Jingyang was extremely shocked.

Zou Jiao sneered. “Even if she looks good without makeup, she’s still a fool. I bet the Meng family had married her off to someone random because they were afraid that nobody else would marry her. Hmph, that man looks so tender and thin. He must be a freeloader.”

“If he marries Meng Ying, the Meng family will definitely treat him well,” Zou Jiao said disdainfully.

Although the man didn’t look as bad as she said, he who married Meng Ying must not be a good person.

Lu Jingyang saw Meng Ying leaning on the man’s shoulder with a smile, looking very charming.

No wonder she had watched him jump into the water so nonchalantly that day. She had changed her mind and chased after another man after that day.

As a man, he had to admit that the man had good looks.

“Sold!” The emcee slammed the gavel down.

Meng Ying hugged Mu Yuansheng’s arm and happily swayed it from side to side.

The smile on her face was as bright and dazzling as the sun outside.

Mu Yuansheng was speechless, but there was nothing he could do with her.

He gently patted her hand. “Many people are watching.”

“So be it. You and I are both so good-looking, we must be pleasing to their eyes.” Meng Ying leaned against Mu Yuansheng in satisfaction. Her eyes curved into crescents as she smiled playfully at those people.

Everyone was speechless.

Lu Jingyang’s heart skipped a beat.

It was as if her eyes gave out electricity and flowed through him.

If she didn’t have that flowery face before, he would never have treated her like that.

She was so good-looking that she was even more attractive than those female celebrities. He would never let her go.

‘Wait for it, I would definitely make that little vixen come back to me after this auction ends.’

As Lu Jingyang made up his mind, he smirked at Meng Ying. He formed a heart with his index finger and thumb and placed it by his mouth.

Meng Ying saw him.

Her smile froze and she threw herself into Mu Yuansheng’s arms.

“Hubby, I feel like my eyes are covered with lard.”
