Qiao Qing narrowed her eyes while others froze a little.
Jun Yexuan grabbed Qiao Qing’s hand.
The Qi brothers exchanged glances.
Wen Yuzhen was a little confused by everyone’s reaction. She was about to ask more questions when the MC announced the first auction item.
Wen Yuzhen stopped paying attention to the boys and patted Chu Tian’s hand, “Good girl. Let me know what you like and I will bid on it.”
Chu Tian’s eyes brightened but she remained calm, “I don’t need grandma to spend any more money on me. I don’t want anything.”
Wen Yuzhen grinned at her, “You deserve so much love. Why be so polite to me? The Qi family doesn’t lack money.”
Their exchange made the Qi brothers fume in anger.
Jun Yexuan squeezed Qiao Qing’s hand, “Whatever you like, let your husband buy it for you.”
Qiao Qing glared at him through her sunglasses, “I don’t lack money.”
Jun Yexuan, “…”
What should one do when one’s wife is far too direct? Awaiting an answer. This is a rush.
Though Chu Tian said she didn’t want anything, when she liked the auction item that came out, she expressed how much she adored it.
In the end, Wen Yuzhen successfully bid on everything Chu Tian liked.
The Qi brothers and Jun Yexuan, as influential figures in this society, also successfully acquired a few items.
Qiao Qing remained emotionless as the auction went on. She didn’t bid on anything.
Throughout the process, Jun Yexuan asked her about several jewelry items but she declined.
Near the end of the auction, the MC organized his speech draft and announced, “Alright, today’s auction has gone on very successfully. Every auction item has gotten a new master. Up next is the final item of today’s auction.”
“I’m sure some people have guessed it. That’s right. The last item of the day is sandalwood!”
“Sandalwood is a legendary medicinal ingredient. These days, it is more than rare due to the hostile environment it naturally grows in. Those who gather this ingredient find themselves in treacherous locations as a result. These days, sandalwood can only be gathered once every decade. It is known to be able to extend one’s lifespan and effectively strengthen one’s health.”
“There’s a saying that gold cannot buy health or life. Therefore, sandalwood is an extremely valuable item. I hereby announce that the starting bid for this sandalwood is $10M! The bids must go up in $1M intervals. The highest bid wins!”
The MC’s words made everyone gasp.
The items before were at highest $6M without minimum increases. People had the freedom to bid whatever they wanted.
Not only did this item start off high, but there was also a minimum increase implemented.
Most people weren’t interested in this item like they were interested in the other items. After all, they rather go to the hospital for health problems.
Wen Yuzhen was about to raise her number when a cold voice shouted out, “$20M”.
Wen Yuzhen froze for a moment and peeked at Qiao Qing, “You want this item too?”
Qiao Qing said “Yes.”
Wen Yuzhen fell into silence.
Chu Tian chose to cough at that moment.
Wen Yuzhen raised her number, “$30M.”
Qiao Qing, “$40M.”
Wen Yuzhen, “$50M.”
Jun Yexuan, “$100M.”
Wen Yuzehn was startled but then shouted, “$150M.”
Qi Yusen, “$200M.”
Wen Yuzhen once again paused, “Number 1, why do you want this?”
Qi Yusen glared at her and didn’t speak.
Wen Yuzhen slapped her own forehead, “You want this for your sister to make up for not getting her a gift earlier, right?”
