Chapter 533 — The Yu Family's Attitude
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Five million, not expensive!" Song Xiangwen nodded. The other houses present, with the exception of Xiao Ben, cared nothing for five million. What they cared about was face. As long as it was cheaper than the auction price, that was giving them face, let alone at nearly half the price!
"I have prepared twenty bottles in total. Removing the two sold at the auction, eighteen remain. With nine noble houses seated here, each house may receive two bottles!" Divine Doctor Kang smiled. "But if any house does not want its share, it may yield it to another!"
Who would refuse such a fine thing? Only a fool. Yet a fool did appear. But was the one who appeared truly a fool?
"Our Yu family will pass. If any of you want it, take it." This senseless remark from Yu Haitian chilled the atmosphere in an instant.
Even Divine Doctor Kang's expression froze. He had no idea what Yu Haitian meant by that.
Seeing their expressions, Yu Haitian smiled faintly. "As the host of the auction, the Yu family should not compete with everyone for goods. I was already scolded by my Second Uncle yesterday, heh heh..."
Yu Haitian would naturally not say that an identical product would appear tomorrow, priced at only one million. Out of consideration for its own interests, the Yu family naturally did not wish to see the number of noble houses increase, even by a bottom-tier house inferior to the five minor houses.
One who takes from others is beholden to them. In that case, the Yu family would naturally leave the Kang family no grounds for complaint.
Hearing Yu Haitian's words, everyone felt relieved. So that was it. The two remaining bottles of the pre-sale Beauty Skin-Nourishing Golden Wound Medicine were promptly snatched up by the people of the other houses.
Although Divine Doctor Kang had not mentioned the matter of elevation to noble-house status, he believed everyone seated here understood the Kang family's intentions perfectly. Now that these people had accepted the Kang family's favor, even if they did not support it, they would not trip the Kang family up. Thus, under the Yu family's direction, the Kang family's elevation should be a nail hammered into the board, barring any accident.
As he walked out of the auction hall, Divine Doctor Kang wore a look of excitement and relief.
"This time my grandson Zhaolong's performance has been a towering contribution!" Divine Doctor Kang looked at Kang Zhaolong with growing delight, convinced that under his leadership the Kang family would surely flourish.
Kang Guifeng was delighted as well. With his son performing so well, the position of house head was essentially settled. Even if the old master passed away one day, Kang Cuipu would have nothing with which to compete against him.
Since Kang Zhaolong had already been designated as the third-generation head, what was left for Kang Cuipu to contest?
"Grandfather praises me too highly. I have only fulfilled my proper duty. I am a member of the Kang family, and naturally I wish the Kang family well." Kang Zhaolong said modestly.
"Yes, we all act for the good of the Kang family!" Divine Doctor Kang nodded. "This time, our Kang family's elevation to a noble house should meet with no mishap."
"Grandfather, I keep feeling that Yu Haitian's attitude tonight was a little strange." Kang Zhaolong frowned. He vaguely sensed something wrong with Yu Haitian's manner, but exactly what it was, he could not say.
"Strange? The Yu family cannot openly declare support for us in front of others. They must put on an act for outsiders to see." Divine Doctor Kang was too elated to listen to any counsel.
Was that so? Kang Zhaolong shook his head. Since his grandfather said so, he could only push his doubts to the back of his mind.
