The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

At 8 am on August 13, in a residential building in Lucheng.

Mu Xuan, who stayed up until 3 a.m. last night, stretched, yawned, and sat up from his bed.

Looking around the bedroom where she had slept for more than 30 years, she felt a little complicated.

She still hasn't let her mother know about the huge sum of 3 million that Afeng transferred to her some time ago. She only deposited 95% of the amount into a large-denomination certificate of deposit and then told her mother about her promotion and substantial salary increase.

The mother, who hadn't heard her daughter talk about work for a long time, looked a little surprised. She actually stopped her old topic of urging her daughter to get married and praised Mu Xuan a few times.

The two were having dinner at the time. When Mu Xuan thought about the 15 yuan he still had in his card, he felt inexplicably confident. His hands, which had been tightly holding the chopsticks, relaxed and he smiled and started chatting with his mother, with whom he hadn't talked for a long time.

Afeng really did what she had said to herself before - giving her the confidence to enjoy a better life.

Before leaving get off work on Friday afternoon, Mu Xuan went to the newly appointed vice president of Jinyu Mechanical and Electrical to ask for two days off, Monday and Tuesday.

The vice president with glasses just looked at Mu Xuan through the thin lenses for a few seconds, and did not ask the reason for Mu Xuan's leave, and readily approved the leave.

Mu Xuan walked back to his office with the signed note and silently put it into the backpack he had been carrying for a long time.

She actually didn't have any extra plans. She just wanted to use these two days to go to the furniture store to buy a new bed for herself and her mother's room, and then go to the Digital Plaza to pick out a new mobile phone for herself and her mother.

Mu Xuan's life has always been so dull and boring. Perhaps in the eyes of others, she is also dull and boring.

She only becomes another Mu Xuan in front of Afeng and that group of online friends she has never met.

Perhaps it's time for her to step out of her own little world and see new scenery.

Mu Xuan turned over, got out of bed, and walked out of the room. After seeing the lunch her mother had prepared in advance on the table in the living room, she went to the small bathroom and began to wash up carefully as she did every weekend.

She looked at herself in the mirror for a long time. The look in the mirror's extremely familiar face had become much more resolute than before.

Afeng has made her changes, and it’s time for me to make my own changes.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Xu Yiyu, who was in the imperial capital and had just woken up, seemed to have a feeling. He picked up his phone and sent a message on Yixin to Mu Xuan, whom he had not contacted for a long time.

She had a very subtle feeling, as if Mu Xuan might become a completely new Mu Xuan from today onwards.

【Xuanbao, good morning. 】

It was just a simple greeting, as if it was addressed to the previous Mu Xuan, but also as if it was greeting the new Mu Xuan.

In the afternoon, when Xu Yiyu and Lu Sanshi, dressed elegantly, appeared at the entrance of Longtengju, the female staff member in charge of reception at the check-in counter actually felt that she was dazzled again.

She was already familiar with Miss Xu, who had never arrived early except on the first day of the auction, but she was still frequently struck by her bright and elegant appearance.

There was no way. Although she herself was not a fan, she liked Xu Yiyu's looks so much that every time Miss Xu appeared, she would find ways to take a few more glances at her.

After sitting down in the box like the previous three days, Xu Yiyu and Lu Sanshi took off their masks and waited quietly for the auction process to officially begin.

Xu Yiyu knew yesterday that Zhou Fu had already arranged the auction of the important item that was originally scheduled to be auctioned on that day to be auctioned today, so he no longer looked careless as he had in the past two days, and his originally casual sitting posture was now much straighter today.

If she guessed correctly, for security reasons, the important object was not on display in any of the pavilions in Longtengju today, but was secretly and carefully stored in a warehouse somewhere, and was not taken out until today.

The value of this item was actually second only to the item she was required to bid for on the last day of the auction. Xu Yiyu had already made a plan. After successfully bidding for the item, she would donate it to the China Old Palace Museum free of charge, because that item would ultimately belong to the entire China.

When Yan Xuhan stepped onto the auction stage, a ripple appeared in her usually calm heart.

She had already learned in advance about all the items that needed to be auctioned today, including the item whose auction process had been moved from yesterday to today.

This item has been away from China for too long. The four major families must have put in a lot of effort to convince its owner to put it up for auction.

Yan Xuhan adjusted her expression and began to host today's auction.

Xu Yiyu had been very quiet until the object appeared.

Drink tea quietly, eat snacks quietly, and watch the guests downstairs bidding enthusiastically for their favorites quietly.

As the person who knew Xu Yiyu best, Lu Sanshi just stayed quietly beside Xu Yiyu. He did not act like a spoiled child in front of his baby. He just held Xu Yiyu's hand, whose palm was a little wet, and silently gave her strength.

Just as Xu Yiyu expected, when that item appeared, the auction site instantly fell into a brief chaos.

Yan Xuhan on the stage quietly looked at the object that was carefully carried onto the stage by the staff, and secretly clenched the auction hammer in her hand.

After more than a century, it finally saw the light of day again and returned to its homeland in China!

"Today's last lot is the dragon head of the twelve zodiac animal heads, which has been missing for more than a century. The starting price is 2000 million, and each bid must not be less than 100 million. Please start bidding!"

Xu Yiyu looked at the dragon head statue from afar. Its surface had shown signs of erosion by time, but its facial details were still lifelike. Unexpectedly, his eyes felt hot.

Letting it return safely to its homeland may be the wish of every Chinese who cares about its whereabouts.

I don’t know what the Dragon Head has experienced during these years of wandering.

I don’t know what price the four major families paid in order to make this dragon head reappear in China.

People from other countries definitely don't know the significance of this dragon head to the Chinese people, nor do they know its significance to Chinese history.

"VIP No. 22 bids 3000 million."

As the first bid appeared on the electronic screen, the guests in the audience seemed to be energized. They almost pressed the bidding devices in their hands to sparks, fearing that they would bid too slowly.

Xu Yiyu watched as the price of the dragon head was raised to 1 million by the guests in the audience in just one minute, and a smile finally appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Although other guests were competitors when bidding for other items, when bidding for this dragon head, all the Chinese guests present were his teammates!

It seemed as if all the Chinese guests present were holding their breath, as the bids were still rising rapidly.

——We must never let the Dragon Head fall into the hands of foreigners with ulterior motives again!

This is the voice of all Chinese people present.
