Looking at Chi Xiaoyu's slightly unpleasant expression, Madam Xue was full of smugness.
She thought to herself, "Competing with me? You're still too young!"
Chi Xiaoyu smiled faintly, stood up, and said calmly, "First of all, I might have disappointed everyone a little. My husband is a very frugal man, and he often teaches me to live modestly and avoid extravagance. Across our country, so many people are still struggling—without food to eat, clothes to wear, or homes to live in. As his wife, I deeply understand him and wholeheartedly support him. That's why I always keep things simple. Don't laugh, but everything I'm wearing combined is probably worth less than ten thousand dollars. So, I don't have any precious jewelry to auction here. However, I'm willing to humbly contribute by drawing a painting instead!"
The moment Chi Xiaoyu said this, she immediately earned rounds of applause from the audience.
