Chapter 584: Raising the Price 4
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Just stay calm, Ye Hongxuan advised, even though Ye Wanwan acknowledged the truth of his words. If the price turns out to be too high, well simply back off. Remember, while the Seven Star Flower is rare, we do have some within the family. If the bidding goes excessively high, the elders will surely have strong objections.
Father, dont worry. I know what to do, rea.s.sured Ye Wanwan.
Upon hearing Ye Wanwan increasing the bid by another billion, Ye Lengan raised an eyebrow but continued bidding, 805 million Spirit Coins.
Undeterred, Ye Wanwan matched her bid. 900 million Spirit Coins.
After exchanging bids, Ye Wanwan shot a provocative glance at Ye Lengan, a.s.serting her determination to secure the Seven Star Flower.
Finding amus.e.m.e.nt in her provocations, Ye Lengan calmly countered. 910 million Spirit Coins.
Following swiftly, Ye Wanwan boldly declared, One billion Spirit Coins.
The auction venue now had only Ye Wanwan and Ye Lengan in an intense bidding war.
Observers were astounded by Ye Wanwans aggressive bidding style, adding nearly a hundred million with each bid. It was clear that the Ye familys young lady was targeting the fiance of the Huangfu familys head. The question lingered did she genuinely desire the Seven Star Flower, or was this merely a rivalry?
Wanwan, youve gone mad, Ye Hongxuan expressed concern. Are you after the Seven Star Flower, or are you just trying to compete with Ye Anan? Ten billion Spirit Coins far exceed the flowers actual value.
Although Ye Hongxuan also wished to secure the Seven Star Flower, he wasnt willing to pay an exorbitant price.
Father, dont worry, Ye Wanwan smirked. l know the bid has surpa.s.sed the flowers value. But you can see that Ye Aryan is determined. Just like before, shell spare no expense to get it. In that case, Ill make her pay an even greater price.
Understanding his daughters strategy, Ye Hongxuan remarked, You want to drive up the price.
Exactly. Ye Wanwan nodded. I want Ye An t an to bleed. Father, just watch! Ye An an will definitely bid again.
True to Ye Wanwans expectations, shortly after her statement, Ye Lengans voice rang out, One billion ten million Spirit Coins.
The audience felt a sense of dj vu, having experienced a similar scenario just moments ago.
Undeterred, Ye Wanwan swiftly countered. 1.1 billion Spirit Coins. Furrowing his brows, Ye Hongxuan intervened, Wanwan, thats enough!
Father, dont worry. Ye Wanwan dismissed his concern. Just watch! Ye An t an will continue raising the price.
Seeing through Ye Wanwans tactics, Ye Lengan and Huangfu Ruiling remained unfazed.
Shes deliberately inflating the price, Huangfu Ruiling commented casually.
Anan, do you intend to continue?
Regarding the sum of money involved, he wasnt concerned. As long as Ye Lengan was satisfied, he had no objections. Therefore, whether or not to continue was entirely up to Anans pleasure.
Ye Wanwan wants me to be the sucker! Ye Lengans lips curled into a cold smile, an inscrutable glint in her eyes. However, who the real sucker will be in the end is still unknown!
Understanding Ye Lengans intentions, Huangfu Ruiling couldnt help but playfully flick Ye Lengans nose. He spoke in an indulgent tone,
Mischievous!
1.15 billion Spirit Coins.
Ye Lengan once again raised the bid, then turned to Huangfu Ruiling with a smile, saying, This is called giving a taste of their own medicine. Huangfu Ruiling chuckled. What if Ye Wanwan gives up now?
Then I can only admit defeat, Ye Lengan responded, looking directly at Huangfu Ruiling. l just dont know if youre willing to pay the bill. Huangfu Ruiling laughed and shook his head. What do you think?
Ye Lengan smiled but remained silent.
Meanwhile, Ye Wanwan intended to continue the bidding, but Ye Hongxuan intervened.
Wanwan, dont make a scene anymore. Ye Hongxuans tone now carried a hint of anger. If we do manage to win, youll have to explain it to the elders. Seeing her father genuinely upset, Ye Wanwan reluctantly halted her bids.
Although everyone had initially antic.i.p.ated Ye Wanwan continuing to bid, her decision to withdraw left a sense of disappointment.
Even though Ye Wanwan had ceased bidding, her discontent lingered. She looked toward Ye Lengan, hoping to witness regret in her expression, but all she saw was her composed demeanor.
Sensing Ye Wanwans gaze, Ye Lengan raised her head and offered a smile. Then, she mouthed four words without uttering a sound.
Upon seeing her smile, Ye Wanwan was momentarily taken aback. However, when she read the silent words, the thread of rationality in her mind snapped.
With red eyes, she raised her hand. 1..2 billion Spirit Coins!
