"Sigh, Chaolu, don't be sad, it's just a painting..."
Li Xinyu looked at his sister, who was downhearted and her eyes were red, feeling a bit at a loss. He wanted to comfort her but was afraid getting too close might upset her even more.
Li Chaolu had been determined to win the bid, but in the end, she couldn't walk away with Luo Chuling's painting. Just as the host called out "five hundred Spirit Stones" for the second time, a "one thousand Spirit Stones" bid instantly blew everyone away.
The bid came from a 13-year-old girl, Qian Yue, the youngest daughter of the Qian Family Patriarch. This bid far exceeded Li Chaolu's budget.
Afterward, although Li Xinyu wanted to generously offer his help financially, he was outright refused by Li Chaolu, leaving her with no chance of acquiring the painting.
Failing to get the painting was a huge blow to Li Chaolu, making her feel as if she lost someone close. Li Xinyu called his sister over, and she stayed silent for a long time.
