"Don't say anything, just stand there and if anything goes wrong, remember what will happen." Wu Li Xing warned Chu Hua.
Chu Hua was surprised for a moment. Wasn't this party for her? Why would they want her to stand quietly?
"Why?" she asked meekly.
"If they are gonna buy you, they need to see your beauty not your low behavior." Her aunt replied full of venom.
"Buy?" she asked surprised.
"What do you think then?" her aunt asked her, "Why did you think I spend money on buying in this dress, no one will buy you if you are dressed in rags."
Chu Hua eyes widened. "No." she said in shock. Her aunt looked at her and pulled her hair. "Say that again."
"We raised you up, and won't you come in use today. We waited till you were 18, you know how hard it was not to sell you. Go up there and try to look preventable." she said with eyes full of venom.
Chu Hua fell on the floor as her aunt let go of her hair. For a moment she was in frozen. Her aunt walked from there pulling here.
In the middle of the main hall was a lifted stage and there were many rich people seated there. Most of them were men in their late 40s or early 50s. The Wu couple had send invitation to every rich men in China asking of they want a pretty girl.
Some men refused, but most of them accepted their offer.
Huan Chu Hua was frozen at the sight of the men present in the room.
"Auntir, no. Please don't. I will do everything you say. Please don't do this." Chu Hua begged her aunt. Tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Shut up'' her yelled, " How naive are you? If I were you, I would have run away but you stayed with us. We fed you, paid your school fees and it's your chance to pay us back."
Chu Hua was dumb stuck. Money? They had taken all her money and they still wanted money?
"No." she said softly. Her aunt turbed back. "Say that again and then you'll see."
Chu Hua gulped. She never thought that her aunt and uncle would do this to her.
"Now, we have the thing all of you were waiting for." Wu Yang Yang announced.
Wu Li Xing pushed her into the stage. There was spot light on her. She saw those men staring at her with eyes full of lust. She wanted to hide from all those eyes. She couldn't even look front. She tried her best not to cry but it was useless. Tears were flowing, like a river, down her cheeks.
The only question in her head was 'What did I do to deserve this?' She couldn't stop crying.
"Why is she crying?" one of the buyers asked.
"Ah!" Wu Yang Yang panicked, "She is really happy. These are happy tears." he lied.
Huan Chu Hua looked at her uncle. Why were they doing this to her? What had she ever done to them?
"So we will start the auction at $ 1 million."

"Sir, I have send you rhe photo." Wang Yi Xin said over the phone to his master.
There was a silence for a moment.
"Yi Xin." his master called out.
"Yes, Sir?"
"I want that girl, bring her to me."
"Yes, Sir!" with that he kept the phone.
Wang Yi Xin looked up at the stage where the girl was standing. She was probably the most beautiful woman anyone had seen and it was no doubt, but she was crying. Even with her eyes red she was still beautiful.
'Is she an angel dropped from heaven?'
"So we will Start the auction at $1 million." The man said.
"5 million!" Wang Yi Xin said holding up his number. It was number 16. The lucky number of his master.
Wang Yi Xin looked at Wu Yang Yang, his whole face glew up like a light bulb when he heard it.
"Any other bidding?"
