Chapter 86 How can your Xiao family stop us?
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the window of the private room on the second floor was slowly opened.
Behind the person who opened the window, a dignified middle-aged man came into view.
"Who are you? Don't you know the name of the Xiao family?" Xiao Hongyuan glared at the man and said unhappily.
The middle-aged man chuckled softly upon hearing this and looked down at him disdainfully.
"Is the Xiao family of Nancheng so great?" he said indifferently.
Upon hearing this, the Xiao family members immediately showed anger.
"How dare you be so arrogant! No one in this southern city has ever dared to look down on the Xiao family. Who are you? How dare you be so presumptuous!" someone shouted angrily, pointing at the middle-aged man.
"Haha..." The middle-aged man laughed, his expression becoming increasingly mocking.
"What a fine family of the Xiao family in the south! My Lu family is located in the northwest, only concerned with a small shipping business. We are truly ignorant and ill-informed," he said with a sneer.
"It's good that you know you're wrong..." The Xiao family members sneered smugly.
“The Lu family of the Northwest…” Xiao Hongyuan’s expression suddenly changed, and his face began to turn pale.
"Dad, you know them?" Xiao Yiyi frowned.
"Could it be... the Lu family, the shipping giant in Northwest China?" Xiao Hongyuan asked haltingly.
"What? It's the Lu family!" The Xiao family members were shocked upon hearing this.
The people in the auction hall also showed expressions of surprise.
"The Lu family of the Northwest controls shipping and is a large family with a century-old heritage. They have produced many talented people, and their wealth and power are among the top in the entire Xia Kingdom!"
"The Lu family is actually here bidding..."
Upon hearing these words, the faces of the other members of the Xiao family turned a deep shade of liver.
The Lu family is a super-powerful family that even the major powers in the provincial capital cannot compare to.
How could the Xiao family be compared to them? They can shake the entire Northwest with a stomp of their feet, let alone the Xiao family.
The Xiao family remained silent.
They intended to threaten Xiao Chen so that his pills wouldn't fetch a good price, but they didn't expect to run into a brick wall.
"Such an extraordinary family has emerged from such a small place as Nancheng. I must inform my family members when I get back to bring gifts and pay their respects," a member of the Lu family said sarcastically.
The Xiao family members looked terrified.
"Mr. Lu, we were blind to your greatness and apologize to you." Xiao Hongyuan made a quick decision and apologized.
At this moment, they couldn't care less about saving face; they couldn't afford to offend the Lu family.
"Hmph! This Youth Pill, you're not even allowing bidding?" the middle-aged man said coldly.
"Yes, of course, please feel free to call me whatever you want." Xiao Hongyuan could only lower his head.
"However, others should still consider whether they have the ability." He didn't forget to threaten others.
"Hmph! Is my Jiangnan Seven Alliance qualified to compete?" Suddenly, a voice rang out from another private room on the second floor.
The window opened, revealing several people with distinguished bearing standing inside.
"The Seven Alliances of Jiangnan!" Xiao Hongyuan was dumbfounded, somewhat stunned.
That was an alliance of seven major corporations, and its influence was no less than that of the Lu family from before...
Xiao Hongyuan was humiliated again, unable to utter a single word, his face turning red with embarrassment.
"I wonder if our leader is qualified?" Another private room opened, revealing three people.
Upon seeing the important figure they had only seen on television, everyone was speechless for a moment.
Even people of this caliber have been attracted.
"Whoosh!"
Next, all the windows in the private rooms on the second floor were opened, revealing a group of extraordinary individuals.
Every time someone uttered their name, it caused a stir and made the Xiao family's hearts tremble.
Which one of them can they afford to offend?
Shouldn't women be the ones who pursue this kind of thing more? How come it has attracted so many powerful people?
In such a short time, they couldn't even make a public statement about Nancheng. How did they get the information?
"It's just a youth pill, is it really that big of a deal?" The Xiao family members were very puzzled.
"This young master intends to acquire this Youth Pill and present it to the most beautiful woman in the capital. What? Is your Xiao family going to stop me?" Apart from Xiao Chen, the last private room opened, and a handsome young man appeared, looking displeased.
"Li Tianqi, one of the Four Young Masters of Beijing!"
The young man's appearance immediately caused an even greater sensation.
Because this is a very prominent figure in the aristocratic circles of the capital!
Behind them is the powerful Li family, whose ancestors were royalty, and whose family strength stands at the very top of the Xia Kingdom's pyramid...
The so-called "Four Young Masters of Beijing" are four of the most famous playboys in the capital, renowned for their powerful backgrounds and the fact that no one dares to mess with them.
Li Tianqi is a ruthless man; those who offend him almost never have a good ending.
Upon seeing him appear, his icy gaze swept over them, and the Xiao family members couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines, their hearts pounding with fear.
Xiao Yichen looked up at Li Tianqi, his expression grim.
Compared to such a top-tier playboy, he realized that he was still far behind.
Some people are born with an air of nobility; the difference is enormous.
"We all want to bid, can your Xiao family stop us?"
"Dare you stop me!"
The questions, like thunderclaps, boomed down, leaving the Xiao family members in a daze.
At this moment, they were as submissive as grandsons, not daring to offend a single person.
They've already lost all face.
"No, no, my Xiao family is as insignificant as ants in front of you all. What I said just now was all nonsense. I hope you will not hold it against us lowly people..." Xiao Hongyuan and his family all lowered their heads and said humbly.
Inside the luxurious private room, Xiao Chen chuckled softly.
This scene was alright to watch.
Chen Jun knew that the arrival of those important figures must be related to Xiao Chen.
"The auction for the Youth Pills will now resume!" The host resumed the proceedings.
The Xiao family members stood sheepishly in a corner of the auction hall, trying to minimize their presence.
"Fifteen million!"
"two thousand!"
"Three thousand!"
"four thousand!"
……
The ensuing auction was particularly lively, with various factions vying for the Youth Pill.
The most enthusiastic bidder was the playboy Li Tianqi, who raised his bid by tens of millions, leaving the people of Nancheng speechless.
The Xiao family members were furious; they hadn't expected a single "youth pill" to cost such an exorbitant price.
In just a short while, Li Tianqi raised the price to a high of 80 million.
"Eighty million already, is there anyone else bidding? Anyone else? If not, this Youth Pill will belong to Young Master Li!" The host was still trying to persuade him.
Seeing this, Li Tianqi didn't let anyone speak and directly raised his sign.
"One hundred million!"
In an instant, the auction hall fell silent, and no one bid anymore.
The host called out the name three times before making the final decision.
"One hundred million! It actually sold for one hundred million!" The Xiao family members were filled with disbelief.
They never imagined that Xiao Chen, who had been kicked out of the Xiao family, was about to possess a huge sum of money.
Even for the Xiao family, one hundred million is an extremely large sum.
"I don't know what kind of incredible luck he had!" Xiao Yiyi said indignantly, finding it hard to accept.
"If we get rid of him later, will this 100 million yuan belong to our Xiao family?" someone suddenly said.
The Xiao family members froze for a moment.
Perhaps, for a fleeting moment, they felt a pang of regret.
