Chu Xiubai was shocked. He had heard of all sorts of horrifying things in Qingyu House. Previously, a gambler lost five million yuan in the underground casino of Qingyu House and was unable to repay his debt. One of his kidneys and two corneas were removed, and he was left crippled by the roadside.
Before Chu Xiubai could react, two burly bodyguards arrived. They put a black hood over Chu Xiubai's head and dragged him away.
Chu Xiubai struggled with all his might, but he could not fight off the two burly men.
In the end, Chu Xiubai began to beg for forgiveness.
He definitely must not have his kidney removed, nor his corneas.
The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became. His legs began to tremble. In the end, he could barely walk and allowed the two of them to drag him and stuff him into a place.
When the hood was taken off, a strong light shone down from above. Chu Xiubai's eyes could not get used to it for a moment and he covered them.
But soon, he found himself standing in a one-meter wide iron cage.
It was noisy outside. He was on a stage, and below the stage was a group of people holding bid cards.
Before he could react, the auctioneer beside him said, "Welcome to our Auction Carnival Night. Today's final item is an innocent and cute boy toy. His three measurements are…"
Only then did Chu Xiubai react. A huge sense of humiliation surged through him—he was locked in a cage and auctioned off like a pet.
Although his status was not as noble as Fu Jingmo's, he was still Fu Huaiju's most favored illegitimate son. Although the Fu family refused to admit it, he was the eldest grandson of the Fu family. This was a fact. After the old man dies and the Fu family divides the assets, he could legitimately change his surname to Fu.
Or… According to his plan, if he could score Li Beibei and become the Li family's son-in-law… Then, he would almost be on equal footing with that person.
However, he did not expect that his first date with Li Beibei would end up like this.
The auctioneer said excitedly, "The starting bid is 1.09 million yuan. Please start raising your card…"
Chu Xiubai finally understood—the exploitative Qingyu House wanted to get back the money he owed in another way. Although it was humiliating, he was relieved deep down. At least they did not remove a certain organ from his body to repay the debt.
Chu Xiubai initially thought that with his looks, there would definitely be a bidding war by those rich women.
After all, he had heard that Qingyu House once auctioned a night with a beauty for the sky-high price of 80 million yuan.
He should fetch about the same.
However, after the auctioneer started the bid, the audience suddenly fell silent for a few seconds. Everyone whispered to each other, but no one raised their card for a long time.
Meanwhile, in the executive office of Qingyu House…
Li Beibei sat in the huge executive chair. The computer on the desk in front of her was streaming the live feed of the surveillance camera at the auction.
A middle-aged man in a dark blue Chinese tunic suit placed a glass of juice by her hand.
This man was the big boss behind Qingyu House—Guan Yulou.
"You didn't even have time to tell Godfather how this pretty boy offended you. Why must my usually kind and soft-hearted little sweetheart sell him?"
Li Beibei thought of her miserable experience in her previous life. She stared at the person on the computer screen and gritted her teeth as she said, "Such a vendetta is incalculable."
Guan Yulou could not help but laugh. "That's not how it's used."
What vendetta could an 18-year-old girl have? It was nothing more than adolescent love and heartaches.
Guan Yulou recalled the heartache he suffered when he was courting her mother back then. He could not help but sigh. "If you really like this young man, I have a way."
