Chapter 595
Lending him money to compete with Master Perry, isn’t that essentially announcing a dispute with Master Perry in public? Everyone here isn’t a fool, right?
Su Maochang chuckled bitterly, “Miss Night, as you see, it’s not that I’m unwilling to make an effort, but that I’m willing yet unable,”
Ye Xingguang shrugged, “Well, if you’ve done your best then that’s it.”
Su Maochang took a sigh of relief, “Thanks, Miss Night for understanding. How about this, after this auction, I will donate two hundred million directly to the disaster area to assist in rebuilding, proving that it’s not about the money.”
Ye Xingguang lifted her eyebrows, “Agreed.”
Harry Perry laughed, “Mr. Su not continuing?”
...
“If it’s for Master Perry’s sake, I admit defeat.” Su Maochang made a self-deprecating expression before continuing, “It looks like ‘Luck’s Light’ is destined to belong to the National Treasure Goddess. I won’t raise the price anymore.”
Hearing this, Xia Yanyan happily stared at ‘Luck’s Light’ on the stage, her face filled with the happiness of being adored by her boyfriend.
The auctioneer observed the attractive pair from the stage and felt envy. Raising his gavel he asked, “Next bid please? Anyone else want to raise? Two hundred ten million once, two hundred ten million twice!”
On the auction floor, everyone was complimenting Master Perry’s splurging for his beloved lady.
“Master Perry acquired ‘Luck’s Light’ for two hundred ten million and Miss Xia acquired ‘Dragon and Phoenix Auspiciousness’ for two hundred million. More than a handsome couple, they truly match each other in family background and capability. Their power couple status leaves one green with envy…”
“Congratulations Miss Xia, not only are you beautiful and rich, you’ve found a man as handsome and wealthy who adores you.”
“Not at all, we just truly wanted to do our bit for the disaster victims.”
“Miss Xia, don’t be modest. Make sure to invite me to your engagement party. I’d like to take in a little of your good fortune.”
…
Harry Perry and Xia Yanyan, both elegantly smiling, responded to everyone’s compliments. However, both were secretly devastated. They spent a total of four hundred million tonight just to save face. Thankfully, people’s compliments provided a little comfort.
At that moment, the auctioneer continued, “Two hundred ten million for the third…”
“Three hundred million!”
Just as the auctioneer was about to finalize the auction with a bang of his gavel, a young man seemingly finishing another math problem, laid his pen down and calmly threw out a bid: “Three hundred million!”
Wow!
Everyone turned toward the teenager, “” noveldrama
Someone blurted out, “Who is this kid? Didn’t he represent Old Lady Shen to bid for the ‘Dragon and Phoenix Auspiciousness’ emerald Jade Pendant? When Miss Xia started bidding two hundred million, he couldn’t match it. How in the world can he dare to call out three hundred million now?”
“This kid, could he be a plant from the auction house? If he can offer three hundred million, from now on he’s my daddy!”
Harry Perry’s face changed, seriously suspecting that this young man was a plant to inflate the price.
Xia Yanyan also changed her expression and turned back to say, “Weren’t you unable to afford two hundred million? Hey kid, this isn’t a place to randomly shout prices. If you on win the auction and can’t afford it, you can be held legally responsible, you know?”
The young man simply shrugged and after making his bid, he turned the page of his test paper and dove back into his math problem.
Everyone: “…”
