Transmigrated into a wealthy family's stepmother, I raised the villain into a sweet child.

Light up? !

As soon as those two words were uttered, all eyes in the room once again focused on the family.

Jin Xi also turned to look at Zhou Linxu, who was still calm and composed, seemingly unconcerned about how shocking his words had been.

The auctioneer asked, "Boss number five, please light the lamp. The auction will be paused for five minutes. Staff members, please come forward to verify your funds."

The owners who lit the lamps all needed to have their credentials verified, and soon staff members in suits came over to verify their credentials.

Zhou Linxu handed the card to him.

After giving it to him, he noticed it was a little quiet around him. He turned his head slightly and saw two people, one big and one small, staring at him with shocked expressions.

Zhou Linxu asked, "Why are you looking at me?"

Zhou Yanqian was genuinely surprised; he hadn't expected this man to light a sky lantern!

But upon closer reflection, it was entirely expected.

He could tell that Xiao Xi liked this aquamarine set. If Zhou Linxu still couldn't see it, he could really be sentenced to life without a wife.

Thinking about it that way, the idea of ​​lighting lamps isn't surprising anymore.

There isn't a single coward in the Zhou family; they wouldn't do anything to make their own people sad!

Zhou Yanqian's expression changed from surprise to approval.

Zhou Linxu has finally seen the light; he's a promising young man.

Zhou Linxu narrowed his eyes slightly. For some reason, seeing Zan Zan's "calm and collected" expression, his hands felt itchy, and he wanted to give him a couple of slaps on the butt.

But now that we're out in the world, we can't bully children.

Zhou Linxu went to see Jinxi, and the two exchanged a quiet glance.

Zhou Linxu said gently, "Don't feel too guilty. I think it suits you very well, and I want to give it to you."

Jinxi pursed her lips. Oh dear, what's wrong with Zhou Linxu today?

Pleasant words poured out of her like they were free, making her cheeks flush.

She said "oh," and at that moment she was a little unsure of what to say.

Zhou Linxu seemed to sense her hesitation and said, "You're welcome."

"Huh?" Jinxi blinked, and subconsciously replied, "I haven't said thank you yet."

What she saw was Zhou Linxu's upturned lips. Only then did Jinxi realize that Zhou Linxu was just teasing her.

Zhou Yanqian clicked his tongue and looked away. Zhou Linxu's peacock-like display was truly hard to look at!

Can't you go home and drive it later? There are so many people watching!

Xiao Xi may have a thick skin, but he's also easily embarrassed! Can't you be a little more considerate of your own child?

However, after Zhou Linxu's interruption, Jinxi's mood relaxed a lot, although her fingers still unconsciously kneaded Zanzan's soft dough.

Zhou Yanqian looked down at his two bound hands.

Garlic bird, garlic bird, don't be angry, don't be angry.

Even when she's angry, she can only become their plaything.

The verification of funds was completed quickly.

Jin Yun was sitting in the back row, her eyes fixed on Jin Xi, who was talking to Zhou Linxu.

Why? Why?!

She, Jin Xi, is nothing more than a dog kept by the Jin family. Why does marrying Zhou Linxu make her so important?!

Jin Yun tried to pick up the sign, but Jin Chen immediately stopped her, lowering his voice to say, "What are you doing? Do you want to light a lamp too?"

Zhou Linxu has already lit the lights. If anyone wants to bid on this set of aquamarine, they must also light the lights; otherwise, Zhou Linxu's bid will always be 500,000 higher than the bidder's.

The family is already in a mess, so where would they find the strength to light a lamp?

If you're just making a bid, that's maliciously inflating the price and provoking people.

Jin Yun said aggrievedly, "Brother, I finally found out that this set of gems is being auctioned today. They've already announced it. If I don't buy it, won't I be incredibly embarrassed?"

Jin Chen said, "It's better to be embarrassed than to go bankrupt. Jin Xi is just luckier than you. She married Zhou Linxu, whether you like it or not."

On Monday, he still had to go to the Zhou Group to discuss the project with Zhou Linxu. At this critical juncture, Jin Chen did not want to cause any more trouble.

Although Jin Chen is not very capable, he is not really acting on impulse.

He took the sign away and warned in a low voice, "Now is not the time for you to throw a tantrum. Behave yourself."

Jin Yun felt like her lungs were about to explode with anger, and her face was as ugly as a palette of colors.

Her brother has never spoken to her like that before. It's all Jinxi's fault!

If it weren't for her constantly opposing me, and if it weren't for her shamelessness in stealing my marriage, I wouldn't have the chance to act so arrogantly now!

Zhou Linxu lit a lamp, and he should light one for her too!

Jin Yun clenched her fists, and her gaze toward Jin Xi became much more vicious.

Jin Xi, who was in the front row, was completely unaware that after Zhou Linxu lit the sky lantern, not many people bid, and the aquamarine set was sold for 30 million.

After the jewelry auction concluded, there was a twenty-minute intermission, followed by the auction of land and real estate.

The staff member walked up to Zhou Linxu and whispered something to him. Zhou Linxu nodded slightly.

He then stood up, walked over to Jinxi, and whispered, "Go and look at your jewelry."

He extended his palm and placed it in a low position.

Zhou Yanqian had already shrunk off his chair, stomped his foot gracefully, and tugged at the hem of his clothes.

He has once again become the esteemed and precious Zan Zan Zong.

Jinxi placed her hand in Zhou Linxu's hand and stood up from the chair. Zhou Linxu held her hand tightly and naturally placed it in the crook of his arm.

Then he bent down and took Zan Zan's hand: "Kid, let's go."

Zhou Yanqian actually wanted to hold Jinxi's hand, but after hearing Zhou Linxu's voice, he thought about it and walked over to Zhou Linxu's other side.

Sigh, my father just showed off, let's give him some face.

The staff led them to the lounge, where Goldman Sachs had already brought in expert appraisers to appraise the three items for today's auction.

Jin Xi was somewhat surprised to see Goldman Sachs. She asked, "When did Assistant Goldman Sachs arrive? I didn't see him earlier."

Zhou Linxu explained softly, "He's always been here, just in the lounge. The others also brought their assistants and appraisal experts."

This is a necessary procedure before delivery. Both the organizer and the buyer need to find an expert appraiser to authenticate the item before payment is made and the item is taken away.

Jinxi let out an "oh," thinking to herself that today had truly been an eye-opening experience.

She looked closely at the aquamarine in the transparent case; even without lighting, it still shimmered with iridescent light.

She even saw the legendary Fire Color up close, and it was so beautiful that she could hardly breathe.

Jinxi couldn't help but rub Zanzan's little face again: "Baby, you're such a prophet..."

These beautiful gemstone necklaces, earrings, and tiaras are all hers.

Zhou Yanqian wanted to say something, but because his face was being rubbed, he could only make a "dururu" sound.

Zhou Linxu was sitting on the sofa, communicating with the auctioneer, when he happened to look up and saw the two of them, one big and one small, huddled together next to the aquamarine, talking about something.

But from another perspective, it's clear that they are both very happy now.

Zhou Linxu relaxed, as if he had thought of something. He took out his phone, opened the camera app which he hadn't used in a long time, and took a picture of Jinxi and Zanzan's backs.

After putting down my phone, I turned my head and met Goldman Sachs' gaze, which he hadn't had time to look away from yet.

Goldman Sachs: ...
