Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Soon there was a gong sound and the auction officially began.
The host on stage was also wearing a mask. He held a microphone and spoke in a clear voice, “Everyone, the auction has officially begun. Today’s first collection is a fine piece of porcelain ware from the Song Dynasty. It is the most expensive sky blue round jug ru ware. The starting price is 80 million yuan. Let the auction begin!”
“81 million!”
“90 million!”
“1 Billion!”
There was a lot of excitement from the audience. Such a good item was rare and having it was a symbol of wealth.
“Master Rong, are we bidding?”
Mo San frowned.
“Have you forgotten our purpose today?” Mo Jinrong replied without raising his head.
“I know, it’s for the fennel, but we should at least bid for one item. I heard that there is a sapphire being auctioned today. If we give it to Old Mrs. Lan, she would be very happy. It would also be a good gift for Miss Lan,” Mo San said excitedly.
“Do I need you to mind my business?” Mo Jinrong looked up at him coldly and said slowly.
Mo San waved his hand in silence.
“1 billion, once! 1 billion, twice!” the host shouted.
“1.2 billion!”
“1.5 billion!”
“2 billion!”
There were two people in the audience competing, constantly increasing the price, and the others were watching the show.
“Young Master Lin, stop adding to the price! There are many good items, why must you compete with him?”
The little assistant was a little distressed.
“Why do you care? This is my dad’s money, I’ll spend it as I want!” the masked Lin Cheng replied disdainfully.
Lin Guodong was always busy with his business and would often give Lin Cheng bank cards which had a lot of money. He wanted to use money to make up for his love for Lin Cheng and with time, Lin Cheng started to feel dissatisfied and could only use money to pass time.
The audience was amazed that such a bottle could go for this price!
“2.1 billion!”
The other party raised his sign again. Lin Cheng was anxious, he didn’t have that much money on hand.
Damn it!
“2.1 billion, once! 2.1 billion, twice! 2.1billion, thrice! Congratulations to the gentleman for acquiring this treasure!”
The host rang the gong as he spoke and the item was taken off the shelf.
The next item was a sapphire and a beam of light was shone on it, making it crystal clear.
“Master Rong, Master Rong, look, it’s so beautiful, Miss Lan will love it!”
Mo San was extremely excited; such a big sapphire was rare.
Mo Jinrong didn’t even glance up, he wasn’t interested in it at all. Instead, his gaze fell on Lan Anran under the stage. She didn’t move at all in the intense scene just now, giving the sense that she must be here with a purpose. f(r)eewebnovel.com
There was another stir amongst the audience and Lan Anran cringed from the noise. She hadn’t been in such a noisy environment in a long time and only felt frustrated.
There were many items being auctioned today, hence, it was moving quickly. Soon, it was the last item.
Lan Anran had been dormant long enough and she finally straightened and perked up, prepared for a fight.
“Everyone, the next item will be the last treasure in our auction. It is extremely precious: a live bunch of fennel! You may not have seen it before as it is said to take ten years to grow. Fennel can cure all illnesses and fennel that blossoms is even more precious. Everyone, please take a look at this treasure.”
Several security guards pushed up a cart covered with a red cloth. The host uncovered the red cloth and under the glass cover was a piece of grass of about five centimetres, which was full of vitality.
“Everyone, this is fennel. The bidding will start at 10 million!”
As soon as the host finished speaking, Lan Anran finally raised her sign and said in a low voice, “20 million!”
The audience sighed. This person actually raised the price so much at once? Is this herb really so good?
“21 million!”
There was a voice from the private room above.
“22 million!”
Lin Cheng became excited and joined in the fight.
“Young Master Lin, why do you want the herb? It’ll be a pity if it dies,” the little assistant said with regret.
He wasn’t exactly speaking nonsense as Lin Cheng was jinxed with this kind of thing. Anything he grew never lived passed a day, even his tortoise couldn’t live more than an hour. Wasn’t it a waste if such an expensive herb died?
“Shut up! What has my money got to do with you? Can’t I bring it back to cook with it?”
Lin Cheng was most annoyed about people making irresponsible remarks on the sidelines, it was disrupting his peace.
After being scolded, the little assistant remained silent and lowered his head.
“25 million!”
Lan Anran added to the price!
“26 million!”
There was another voice from the private room above.
“27 million!”
Lin Cheng followed closely behind, not showing any weakness. During this period, several people who raised the price were suppressed by Lin Cheng. This was a battle between the three of them.
“Master Rong, it seems like these two are determined to fight to the end,” Mo San said as he watched the tense situation.
“Watch Zhao Lei!” Mo Jinrong said with piercing eyes.
“30 million!”
Lan Anran continued to add to the price. She had to get it regardless of the price. This was her mom’s life she was fighting for!
“35 million!”
Mo Jinrong raised the sign again and this time Lin Cheng seemed to be really interested.. He was willing to play with the two of them.
