The atmosphere between Gu Dai and Song Ling attracted murmurs from the surrounding crowd.
"The President of Song Corporation and the young miss of the Gu family seem to be at odds. Could this be a prelude to a major battle in the business world?"
"I don't know, but it's intriguing to see Su Ting, who's always been known for his aloof demeanor, being so tender with Miss Gu."
"Exactly! He doesn't exude that untouchable aura anymore."

The auction had a scheduled break between its segments, lasting for half an hour. A lounge had been provided for the attendees.
Song Ling's face was a mask of suppressed rage as he watched Gu Dai and Su Ting leave together.
Seeking to console her, Su Ting whispered, "Sister, I'll buy you an even more beautiful Suzhou embroidery. Don't be upset."
She smiled in response, "Alright. But don't worry about me. Go to the room and rest."
After guiding Su Ting back to his room, Gu Dai headed to her own.
