The Crazy Son-In-Law

At this moment there was another commotion in the hall.

Yao Cen stopped to look towards the entrance of the hall.

Song Linger wore a blue princess dress, and tied her hair into a top knot. She looked youthful and elegant when she walked in.

Next to her was an imposing young man. It looked like he was about twenty five and from the way he walked he should be from the military.

“The Song family is here too, and we’re sure to have a lively auction today.”

“That’s the youngest son of the Song family, Song Qingshan, right?”

“I guess so. He’s young, but it’s said he’s got a position in the military now. A promising young man.”

There was another series of murmurs from the crowd in the hall.

When Song Linger entered, she walked straight towards Xiao Shun, nodded gracefully towards the two and smiled, “Mr. Xiao, let me introduce to you my uncle, Song Qingshan.”

Xiao Shun nodded at him.

“I’ve heard about you from my father. If there is anything I can help you with, please do let me know.”

He spoke exactly the way a commander did, decisive and to the point.

“Yao Cen did make a name of herself for her beauty, and now even that prideful Song Qingshan would want to approach her. It seems they can never be better than that.”

“What a pity. she’s married. There’s nothing he can do now.”

First it was Sikong Xing, then it was Song Qingshan. The sons from those two families had both approached Yao Cen, and the other young women around them all felt a little jealous, though they only dared to lower their voices because of their backgrounds.

Despite his wealthy family, Song Qingshan did not look like someone from such a background. When he looked at that stonic face and thought about what Song Linger did. Xiao Shun secretly marveled at the education of the family and felt even more respect for Song Zhenhai.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Mr. Xiao, can I have a word with you?”

Quite the opposite of the way she usually was, Song Linger at this time elegantly folded her hands in front of her body and asked in a polite manner.

Xiao Shun nodded and followed her to the side.

Yao Cen watched the two just walk away with some mixed emotions.

How dare they do this kind of things in front of me now?

Although she was still confused about her own feelings for Xiao Shun, but at least, for now, she was still his wife!

But still she kept her calm appearance, she kept her smile and nodded her head to Song Qingshan, who also smiled at her.

“Grandpa heard that you will be going to the auction, so he wanted me to tell you. If you want anything, please don’t worry about the price, our family can pay for you for now.” Song Linger said with a smile.

“Grandpa said that you saved his life, and money is nothing compared to that!”

“Your grandfather said this?”

“I said it, but that’s what grandpa meant.”

“Understood, then please thank Mr. Song for me.”

Xiao Shun didn’t reject her offer. Although he had forty million now, bids for that company should start at ten million, so he might not have enough money for that should anyone want to bid against him.

Most people in this city knew Song Qingshan, and Song Linger, because she was always with Song Zhenhai, and spent most of her time elsewhere, so they did not know that she was also a member of the Song family, and only thought she was a companion with Song Qingshan.

So when they saw her talking to Xiao Shun, others wouldn’t think he would have anything to do with the Song family.

About half an hour later, the auction officially began. Due to the complicated categories of items in this auction, this auction will be divided into three rounds.

The first round was mostly some vehicles, unusual jewelry and jade, etc., and the starting prices were about one hundred thousand to one million. Although Xiao Shun did not want any of those, he still followed them in for some fun.

The auction hall was surrounded by a solemn silence. The auctioneer on the podium showed the items one by one and rounds of bidding followed along.

The Song family and the Sikong family naturally would not be interested in these things, so they were just coming in for the fun of it.

Xiao Shun also felt bored and sleepy.

But when a new item was put on the podium, he suddenly felt a hidden spiritual energy.

He slowly opened his eyes to look over, only to see a one-foot-tall jade sculpture placed on the podium.

When a sculpturist made a sculpture, he would presumably choose a symbol that represented good fortune such a Buddha, yet this sculpture was a human with the face of a beast. It looked more like a gruesome devil baring its teeth.

It was not surprising that jade contained some spiritual energy. Since ancient times, many people have used jade as an object to ward off evil spirits. However, in addition to the faint spiritual energy contained in the jade sculpture itself, Xiao Shun could also feel a strong spiritual energy inside it.

“Lot 24, a white jade sculpture, starting at two hundred thousand.”

Usually a jade sculpture this size would reasonably cost a fortune yet for this gruesome sculpture, they did not set a very high initial price.

“What is that thing?”

“What a waste. That should cost at least ten kilograms of raw jade to make something this big, yet they made such a weird thing.”

“I guess no one would want it. It looks so scary. Who would want to pay that much for something so scary?”

There was some chatter from the stage. The auctioneer on the stage looked at the jade sculpture and felt a little embarrassed too. He only hoped that maybe someone with some strange hobbies would want this sculpture.

The hall was silent for a few seconds, and no one raised his hand. Just as he was about to announce a bought-in, someone finally raised his hand and said, “Two hundred thousand.”

All the amazed eyes then followed the voice.

It was that punk from the Yao family, Xiao Shun.

Xiao Shun did not care what the jade sculpture was, but he was curious about the spiritual energy in it. If he could extract it properly, although this thing might not be of not much use for him, because he had reached Anterior Heaven, for ordinary people, it could be very useful.

For example, Song Zhenhai.

Although his disease was cured by Xiao Shun, but after all, he was old and his body could not be as healthy as before.

If he gave this jade sculpture to him, and he put it in his room, with the spiritual energy in the jade sculpture, he should not have any problems in the next twenty years.

After he bid, not only that crowd, even Yaozen also looked at him with a puzzled face.

“What are you doing? You can’t just shout! Do you know? You will have to pay for it!”

“I know.” Xiao Shun said indifferently.

Yao Cen said speechlessly, “You’re crazy, right? Nobody wants this thing, and you want it?
