Chapter 299 Rebellious Stage (1/2)

”Good. Then I'll be leaving now.” Meifeng said to Meixiu before cutting the phone call.

”Haaa…” Meifeng released a long and deep breath afterward, rubbing her eyes in a tired manner.

A few moments later, Meifeng turned around and entered the room that was right behind her with a serious-looking expression on her face.

Inside the room, there were two individuals sitting across from each other on a small but fancy table filled with luxurious food and a couple of servants standing at the end of the room.

”What did Meixiu say? Did you manage to convince her to stay?” Yu Yong asked her the moment she returned.

Meifeng shook her head and said, ”Unfortunately, she wouldn't listen to me no matter how much I tried to convince her, even cutting the line on me forcibly when I tried. I will take full responsibility for my daughter's sudden departure, Masters.”

Yu Yong placed his utensils down before sighing, ”Don't worry about it, Meifeng. It's not your fault. Meixiu is probably in her rebellious stage since she's around that age. Once she gets over it, she will definitely return to us so let's just give her more time.”

”Thank you, Master Yu.” Meifeng bowed to him.

Obviously, it was only an excuse that Meifeng had created for Meixiu, as she'd told the Yu Family that Meixiu was tired of working and decided to leave.

”Anyway, how is the auction looking for the Divine-grade treasure?” Tang Lee suddenly asked.

”Allow me a moment to check,” Meifeng said as she pulled out her phone.

After checking the auction, Meifeng said, ”The highest bid right now is 411 million dollars; it'd increased by 21 million since we last checked half an hour ago.”

”I see… Do you have any predictions on how much it might cost by the end?” Tang Lee then asked.

”It's hard to tell since this is the first time a Divine-grade treasure has been sold. Furthermore, it is highly likely that this treasure belongs to Player Yuan. With that being said, the price most likely won't see any more significant increases since this treasure is only an instrument, and its high requirements restrict most if not all of the players at this moment, so most of the other families have already stepped back.” Meifeng said.

Yu Yong nodded and said, ”While it's true that the treasure has a high requirement, this is an investment for the future! Once we have someone who can use that zither, everything will change and we will overtake the other families!”

”Continue monitoring the auction. We'll stop bidding for now until the last day.”

”Yes, Master Yu.”

Meanwhile, after dinner was prepared, Meixiu went to feed Yuan four bowls of soup as instructed by Doctor Wang.

A few minutes after dinner, almost as though she knew, Yu Rou called Meixiu— or more specifically, Yuan.

”How was your day, brother? I saw the auction! It's a massive success! Over 400 million dollars in a single day— you'll definitely get at least 500 million from the auction!” Yu Rou's excited voice resounded in his ears, making it feel as though Yu Rou was really in the room.

”At this rate, you won't have to worry about not having enough money for the rest of your life!”

”Indeed,” Yuan said.

”By the way, do you see other players at the Mystic Realm?” Yu Rou suddenly asked.
