The light was not dazzling, but very bright, shining on Li Jiye, making his complexion appear somewhat pale.
Ye Xuan'er whispered, "Shen Yue, do you think he will abstain?"
Shen Yue frowned, "Why would he abstain?"
Realizing what Ye Xuan'er meant, Shen Yue said. "Even if Li Jiye doesn't want to compete, he could at least place a bid to show his interest. Abstaining... isn't that too obvious? It would make him lose face too much."
Ye Xuan'er scoffed. "Do you really think their face is worth that much?"
Her eyes twinkling at Shen Yue, Ye Xuan'er continued: "This is the difference between you and them. Even without money, you're handsome, capable, and confident. But they, apart from money, have nothing. I heard it privately that both the Lin and He Families don't intend to bid this time round. Only the Zhen and Li Families have shown interest."
