Chapter 304
“Jianfei, is an old sword better looking than I am?”
Murong Yuan looked at the man sitting beside her sadly.
There was only the engaged couple in the luxury box. All of the chamber of commerce staff had been driven away.
Beside Murong Yuan, there was a thin cloak. She was in a long, tight, red dress, her fair neck exposed. When she bent over, she showed attractive curves.
The way she looked at her lover was coquettish and tempting, but Mo Jianfei couldn’t take his eyes off the practice sword.
Not until he had heard his fiancée speak did he turn to her. He pulled the curtains together and sat down next to Murong Yuan.
“The sword isn’t comparable to even one ten thousandth of you,” Mo Jianfei said seriously.
“Ninety-two million,” Lin Rong’s voice broke the silence in the auction hall.
People looked towards him, wondering who was in deity-grade box number one.
However, since the curtains were closed and their holy awareness couldn’t pierce through the walls of the box, they had no way of knowing who it was.
The only thing they knew was that this box hadn’t been part of the bidding until then.
Was he extremely confident he would get it or just making a fool of Murong Yuan by bidding at the last minute?
Murong Yuan wouldn’t care. She carried on bidding.
However, so did the person in deity-grade box number one. It was like a war between the two.
The price had soared to ninety-five billion in an instant.
Murong Yuan wasn’t so pleased. She stopped pressing the button, but shouted directly, “One hundred million!”
She had intended to frighten her rival off by adding five million in one fellow swoop, but the person in deity-grade box number one wasn’t affected. He added another million again.
“One hundred and five million,” said Murong Yuan coldly.
“One hundred and six million.”
“Are you purposely antagonizing me?”
Murong Yuan wasn’t happy. She looked towards deity-grade box number one coldly.
The curtains were pulled back. A handsome young man was standing behind the window. He said loudly, “It’s fair bidding. How am I antagonizing you?”
“Well, if you’re wealthy enough,” Murong Yuan smiled coldly.
Soon, Jiang Chen heard knocking on the door of his box.
Lin Rong wasn’t surprised. He opened the door and talked with the men outside. Then he came back to Jiang Chen and said, “They wanted to verify your fortune. I backed you, so they left.”
They only needed to verify whether Jiang Chen had money to know if he was fooling around.
If he didn’t have the money, the price would go back to the ninety-one million that Murong Yuan had offered.
“One hundred and ten million.”
Jiang Chen nodded and bid immediately. He said, “Just give up if you don’t want to spend so much money.”
This price had been beyond many people’s expectation, including Murong Yuan.
“One hundred eleven million.”
But Murong Yuan wouldn’t allow him to succeed so easily. She started to add a million each time.
“One hundred fifteen million.”
“One hundred sixteen million,” Murong Yuan said proudly.
“Alas, if you like it so much, Miss, all right.”
Then Jiang Chen walked away from the window and sat down.
The atmosphere in the auction hall was quite strange. The spectators were looking at each other in surprise.
The man in the box had been so aggressive. They had expected it to be an intense competition, but he had given up so quickly.
Although his excuse was good enough, Murong Yuan had to pay more than ten million dollars extra for no reason. People couldn’t help but indulge in conspiracy theories.
“Yuan, do you know that guy?” asked Mo Jianfei.
“No. Whatever.”
That being said, she didn’t look happy at all.
It was one thing to spend money like water and be bold and generous.
It was another thing to be fooled by others, which was exactly what she felt like at the moment.
Mo Jianfei curled his lips. Murong Yuan had bought the practice sword for him. Now that she was out of sorts, he didn’t feel good, either.
