Robert Xiao originally wanted to take the opportunity to build a relationship with Bao Fugui, but he never dread that Bao Fugui would suddenly kick him flying.
He rolled on the ground several tis before barely stabilizing himself, sitting on the ground in a daze. "Master Bao, what's going on? Is there so kind of misunderstanding..."
Everyone present was stunned.
"Isn't this guy from the Xiao Family? How did he offend Master Bao?"
"The Xiao Family never had much ability, and now they've offended Master Bao. How are they going to survive in Jinling?"
For a mont, there was a lot of chatter.
Many people watched with a sense of schadenfreude as Bao Fugui beat up Robert Xiao.
At this mont, Bao Fugui glared at Robert Xiao and snorted coldly, "Misunderstanding? Misunderstand my ass!"
With that, he kicked him again, making Robert howl in pain.
Still not satisfied, Bao Fugui stepped on his chest and shouted, "You bastard, do you know who you've offended?"
Robert Xiao was completely bewildered. "I didn't offend anyone, Master Bao. This is a huge misunderstanding..."
Bao Fugui slapped him twice, cursing angrily, "You dog, the two people you offended are honored guests of our Miss Song. I wouldn't be satisfied even if I killed you!"
Then he imdiately ordered his n, "Drag this bastard out and give him a good beating! From now on, except for those two honored guests, Robert Xiao and anyone from the Xiao Family are banned from the Treasure Pavilion. Anyone who lets them in will have their legs broken!"
Imdiately, several security guards grabbed Robert Xiao and beat him up.
After the beating, they dragged him out and threw him out of the Treasure Pavilion!
He was bruised and swollen, trembling all over, too scared to speak.
He knew he had caused a huge disaster and implicated the entire Xiao Family!
But how could he have known that Jas Ye was a guest invited by Patricia Song?
How could that loser know the eldest daughter of the Song Family!
Why would Patricia Song favor such a worthless person!
...
After Jas Ye and his father-in-law ca out, they drove ho.
Christopher Xiao sighed repeatedly in the car. "Jas, it's not that I'm criticizing you, but if you really couldn't get an invitation, you should have just let it go. Why steal soone else's?"
"Dad, there was no problem with the invitation. It was just that they looked down on us..." Jas explained helplessly.
Christopher Xiao fud, "If you were more capable, would they dare treat us like this? In the end, it's because you're too useless and cowardly!"
Jas shook his head, too tired to explain.
At that mont, a Rolls-Royce sped up from behind, slowed down after passing their car, and stopped by the roadside.
Seeing that the other party was looking for him, Jas also stopped the car.
Patricia Song stepped out of the car with her elegant long legs and apologized to Jas, "Mr. Ye, I'm really sorry about what happened at the auction. It was my poor arrangent. Please don't take it to heart."
Jas shook his head and said, "It's not your fault. The Treasure Pavilion needs to manage its employees better."
Patricia hurriedly said, "Mr. Ye, the manager involved has already been fired. Let's go back and continue the auction. What do you think?"
Jas declined, "Sorry, Miss Song, my good mood has been ruined by a couple of flies. Let's talk about it next ti."
Patricia apologized again, "I'm really sorry, Mr. Ye."
Then she took out a wooden box from the car and handed it to Jas. "Mr. Ye, this is a small token of my apology..."
As soon as Jas received the wooden box, he felt a surge of spiritual energy from inside, so he didn't refuse.
Seeing Jas accept the gift, Patricia continued, "Let's do this. We'll pause today's auction. I'll have Bao Fugui properly reorganize the Treasure Pavilion's team. Once he's done, we'll hold another auction. I hope Mr. Ye and Uncle Xiao can honor us with your presence then."
Christopher Xiao was already stunned. This woman, wasn't she the eldest daughter of the Song Family who ca last ti when I accidentally broke the antique vase at Jiqingtang?
She was so polite to my son-in-law, even willing to pause the auction and hold it again for him. That's a lot of face!
Could it be because he repaired that vase last ti?
Wow, I really need to look at my son-in-law in a new light from now on.
Jas also saw Patricia's sincerity, so he nodded lightly and said, "We'll co to support when it's reopened."
His father-in-law quickly echoed, "Yes, yes, we'll definitely co."
Support us at .
"Alright, you two can go back for now. I'm really sorry about today!"
After apologizing again, Patricia bid them farewell and left.
After Patricia left, Christopher Xiao quickly pointed to the wooden box in Jas' hand and asked, "Jas, what treasure did Miss Song give you? Open it and let see!"
Jas nodded and opened the wooden box.
Imdiately, a rich surge of spiritual energy poured out, invigorating everyone.
"Hey, what's this?" Christopher Xiao peeked inside and was imdiately surprised.
Inside the box was a black, rough object, about the size of a fist, looking like a piece of coal but with a rough texture and so dirt on it.
Seeing this, Jas couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, secretly amazed at Patricia Song's generosity.
Christopher Xiao looked at the "black lump" repeatedly, unable to figure out what it was, and said puzzledly, "I thought it was so treasure, but it's just a piece of wood."
Jas smiled and said, "Dad, it is wood, but it's very rare."
Christopher Xiao was even more puzzled. "Son-in-law, what exactly is this?"
Jas said, "This is lightning-struck wood."
"The kind of wood struck by lightning, right?"
Christopher Xiao had heard of it and quickly said, "But this kind of wood is often seen in the mountains during thunderstorms. What's so valuable about it?"
Jas smiled and said, "Dad, ordinary trees struck by lightning are indeed common. But this piece of lightning-struck wood is already charred and jade-like, indicating it was instantly carbonized at extrely high temperatures, which ans the lightning strike was incredibly powerful, probably a once-in-a-century event."
"Moreover, this piece of wood is pitch black and shiny, with faint blood-like patterns, indicating it's the heartwood of the 'Blood Dragon Wood,' the king of woods, making it even rarer."
Hearing this, Christopher Xiao scoffed, "I don't believe it. A piece of lightning-struck wood can be worth so much money? It's all a scam. The real valuable things are antiques and relics. If this wood had been handled by Emperor Qianlong, maybe it would be worth sothing."
Jas smiled. This kind of thing was highly valuable to him, not only because it was filled with spiritual energy but also because, according to the Nine Mysterious Heavenly Scriptures, it could even be refined.
However, Christopher Xiao naturally couldn't understand this.
So Jas didn't explain further and put the box away.
