Chapter 302: Crazy Increase In Price
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Zheng was calm. He hated Huang Lilan very much, but at this moment, he was glad that Huang Lilan was around because she had given birth to Gu Yao.
Gu Zheng asked, “You don’t want the violin?”
Qiao Xi had an indifferent expression. “I do want to bid for it, but I won’t pay for it. In the end, this violin will still belong to me.”
Gu Zheng’s expression was amused. Qiao Xi had said that she would not pay, so the person paying would probably not be Xue Liang. In that case, it could only be Yao Mengqing.
Yao Mengqing would pay for it, but the violin would be given to Qiao Xi in the end?
Gu Zheng was sure that Yao Mengqing was not that kind-hearted. He had already understood the situation.
The starting bid for the violin was 5 million. Everyone was uninterested, but they still successfully increased the bid to 10 million.
At this moment, Yao Mengqing started raising her placard.
Qiao Xi specially raised her eyes to stare at Yao Mengqing. Everyone knew that Miss Qiao and Miss Yao were in conflict.
In next to no time, Qiao Xi started bidding as well. “20 million!”
The entire venue was silent.
As expected, the bid went up to 20 million!
Did Qiao Xi think that saying a few more numbers would tire everyone else out? Did she really have to increase the number by that much?
Violin was indeed a priceless treasure for musicians, but for ordinary people, it was just a decoration.
Although the violin was worth collecting, be it the materials or the meaning, it was at most worth 15 million yuan. 20 million was already beyond expectations.
Furthermore… if the two of them were to compete, the price would be even higher.
Everyone put down their placards and stared fixedly at Yao Mengqing and Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi had an indifferent expression but the corners of her mouth were curled up into a smile. She seemed as if she was determined to succeed.
Everyone thought that Yao Mengqing had given up because she thought that the price was too high, just like before.
The next second…
Yao Mengqing said, “30 million!”
Everyone was dumbfounded!
Unexpectedly, Yao Mengqing was willing to spend so much money for a violin?
Qiao Xi was stunned for a moment as well, and her face was filled with disbelief.
Immediately after, Yao Mengqi said loudly, “My sister is bidding for this violin because she wants to give it to Xue Liang! Hence, she definitely won’t give it up!”
Yao Mengqing said gently, “Qi Qi, don’t be like this. If Xi Xi likes it, we’ll continue bidding. The highest bidder will get it. It’s just that there’s a misunderstanding between Xue Liang and me. I heard that he likes this violin, so I want to bid for it to give it to him.”
Yao Mengqi snorted. “It’s all because of Qiao Xi that we offended Xue Liang. It was she and that man who harmed our Yao family!”
Qiao Xi raised her eyes to glance at them and paid no attention to them at all as she continued bidding. “40 million!”
50 million?
Yao Mengqing revealed a sinister smile.
As expected, Qiao Xi continued to raise the price. She wanted to get this violin at all costs.
Anyway, she was spending Gu Zheng’s money, so she would not care about the gains or losses.
Yao Mengqing narrowed her eyes. She was not in a rush to raise the bid. She was thinking about how to increase the price.
It was because everything Qiao Xi bid for was originally hers. She was deliberately targeting her!
Yao Mengqing smiled. Even if she directly called out a price of 300 million, Qiao Xi would continue to raise the price. Then, she would withdraw safely. As a result, Qiao Xi would have to get the violin at an astronomical price.
Seeing how stupid she was, Ah Zheng would definitely loathe her. He might not even pay for her anymore.
Yao Mengqing pretended to be troubled. “50 million.”
She looked apologetic. “Xi Xi, I’m sorry. I really need this violin.”
Qiao Xi’s brows raised. “Then it depends on who’s more capable. 60 million.”
Everyone widened their eyes at this scene. Following that, Yao Mengqing increased the bid to 70 million.
Qiao Xi frowned. “100 million.”
Damn! This woman had gone mad!
Qiao Xi must be crazy to directly increase the bid by 30 million!
Yao Mengqing looked at the situation before her and was extremely proud in her heart. She wanted Qiao Xi to faint.
Her tone was gentle. “Xi Xi, in that case, I can only risk my life to play this game with you. 120 million!”
Utter shock!
So much money? Just for a violin?
Immediately after, Qiao Xi raised her bid again. “200 million..”
