Chapter 68

It was finally time for the grand finale of the auction – The Han Dynasty’s Three-Legged Jade Phoenix Incense Burner .

Everyone was looking forward to it . Even if they couldn’t bid, witnessing the auction process of this treasure was still exciting and a feast for the eyes .

The auctioneer announced the starting bid of $2 million . Each bid would be in increments of $100,000 . A lot of expectant people sharply inhaled .

“$2 . 1 million!” Yang Jianming started bidding first . And he even looked meaningfully at everyone present to express that he was the son of the Municipal Committee Secretary who fancied the Jade Phoenix Incense Burner . They shouldn’t fight with him .

Most people who wanted to survive in A City understood and wouldn’t bid . But those out-of-towners ignored him . Not to mention, those who were at this auction hall had their own strong backgrounds .

“$2 . 2 million,” Murong Yuqing bid . He was in the jade business . This jade incense burner could be the treasure of his store, so he naturally didn’t want to miss out on it .

Yang Jianming was very unhappy seeing him fighting with him, but he was helpless . His father had once warned him that there was one person in A City whom he could not casually offend . And that person was Murong Yuqing . Although he seemed to have built his fortune on gambling stones, his background was not so simple . He had cards in his hands that Yang Jianming could not fathom .

“$2 . 3 million!” Yang Jianming continued bidding .

Murong Yuqing also bid . The bid was finally at $5 million . Other bidders had backed out, leaving only him and Yang Jianming .

Yang Jianming was starting to sweat, but he was very unwilling to give up . A fortune teller had once told him that if he placed the Jade Phoenix Incense Burner at home, it would make the women at home have the future of an Empress .

This was a great temptation for the Yang family . It represented that their officialdom would be on a higher level and they could be directly promoted to the central government . Even if that didn’t happen, a daughter from the Yang family could still become the first lady .

Therefore, he was determined to win . But unexpectedly, he encountered Murong Yuqing, who was so insensitive .

Yang Zimei saw that the price was soon about to surpass the price that Yang Jianming had in his mind . She began to worry that this thing would be won by Murong Yuqing rather than Yang Jianming .

“Mr . Song, tell Mr . Murong give it up . ” She whispered to Song Xuan . Her voice just happened to spread to Murong Yuqing’s ears .

Song Xuan looked puzzled at her . His relationship with Murong Yuqing wasn’t that good .

Murong Yuqing slightly turned over . He coincidentally met her clear and dark eyes . His mind slightly froze . He inexplicably put down the bidding card in his hands .

“$5 . 1 million going once . ” The auctioneer shouted .

“$5 . 1 million going twice . ”

“Sold at $5 . 1 million!” The auctioneer looked very happy . “Congratulations to this gentleman for successfully purchasing this Three-Legged Jade Phoenix Incense Burner for $5 . 1 million . ”

He finally obtained it . Yang Jianming was overjoyed . He stood up and waved his card to show off his victory .

He had heard Yang Zimei tell Song Xuan to dissuade Murong Yuqing from bidding earlier . He thought she was helping him .

When the auction ended, everyone dispersed with their own auctioned items .

Yang Zimei had to wait for Huo Wenhua and told Song Xuan to leave first, while she stayed behind .

Murong Yuqing came over . His long and narrow phoenix eyes looked at her . “Can you give me a reason?”

Yang Zimei lightly smiled . “The reason that it’s not good for you!”

“How so?” Murong Yuqing always felt that the faint smile on her face was very enigmatic . It seemed to hide some secret, which made people want to impulsively discover it .

Yang Zimei smiled and didn’t answer . At this time, Huo Wenhua, who was being greeted by other people, came over . His tone was very respectful . “I’m sorry, Little Master . I’ve made you wait . ”

“Excuse me . ” Yang Zimei nodded to Murong Yuqing and left with Huo Wenhua .

Little Master? Murong Yuqing thought puzzled about this address . Could it be that her identification of antiques was on such a high level that she obtained Song Xuan’s life teachings to be addressed as a “Master” by someone like Huo Wenhua?

Maybe she didn’t let him bid on that Jade Incense Burner because it was a fake?
