51 -051: Love at First Sight!
Julie Stewart said, “You go wait for me in the courtyard first, I’ll change clothes.”
“Alright.”
Lionel Yeager nodded and left the room, arriving at the small courtyard.
After a short wait, Julie Stewart, now dressed in a cheongsam, walked out with a bag in hand.
“Mullen, let’s go.”
Then, Lionel Yeager and Julie Stewart left the courtyard and arrived at the coffee house entrance.
A blue Bentley Mulsanne was parked at the entrance.
A female driver dressed in a suit was waiting at the entrance.
After getting into the car, the driver started it and drove away from the coffee house.
On the road.
Lionel Yeager asked curiously, “Sister Betty, where are we going for the auction?”
Julie Stewart replied, “Cloud Above Club.”
“Oh.”
Lionel Yeager nodded and asked again, “What will be auctioned off at the auction?”
“There will usually be jade and jewelry, antiques and calligraphy, and precious medicinal materials auctioned.
I have the auction catalog here, take a look and see if there’s anything you like.”
Julie Stewart spoke and then took out an auction catalog from her bag and handed it to Lionel Yeager.
Lionel Yeager took the catalog and flipped through it.
As expected, just as Julie Stewart said, the items up for auction were mostly jade and jewelry, antiques and calligraphy, and some valuable medicinal materials.
The other items didn’t interest Lionel Yeager much.
But, two types of medicinal materials caught Lionel’s attention.
One was 200-year-old ginseng, and the other was a purplish-colored material shaped like ginseng.
This purplish material was labeled “Purple Ginseng.”
However, Lionel felt that this Purple Ginseng looked familiar, as if it was the last medicinal material needed for refining the Gathering Spirit Pill, the “Purple Dragon Root.”
Of course, since he hadn’t seen the real thing, Lionel wasn’t sure and decided to take a look at the auction first.
If it was indeed the Purple Dragon Root, he would definitely bid for it.
“Mullen, did you find anything you like?”
Julie Stewart asked.
“Yes.”
Lionel Yeager nodded.
“That’s great!”
Julie Stewart gave a soft smile and said, “When you find something you want later, just let me know and I’ll help you bid for it!”
Lionel Yeager said, “Sister Betty, let’s agree on this beforehand, you’ll help me bid for one item only.
I can bid for the other items myself.”
Julie Stewart said, “How could that be?
Whatever you like, I’ll help you bid for all of it.”
Lionel Yeager said helplessly, “Sister Betty, if you do that, I won’t dare to attend this auction.”
Julie Stewart playfully rolled her eyes, “Fine, fine, I’ll only help you bid for one item.”
Over half an hour later, the car arrived at Cloud Above Club.
At the entrance, there were already quite a few luxury cars parked, so those attending the auction must be wealthy and distinguished.
After getting out of the car, Lionel followed Julie Stewart into the clubhouse.
As the auction had not yet begun, everyone was resting in the clubhouse’s rest area.
Lionel Yeager and Julie Stewart also found a place to sit down.
Julie Stewart asked, “Mullen, how’s it going with Betty recently?”
Lionel Yeager replied, “Pretty good.”
Julie Stewart sounded helpless, “I don’t know what father was thinking, insisting on you and Betty getting engaged.
Although Betty is grateful to you for saving her grandfather, it may still take some time for her to accept you.
After all, Betty has never been in a relationship before and doesn’t understand feelings.”
“Love cannot be forced.
