Chapter 588: Chapter 588: Auction Storm_1
Ye Xiandong was still betting, Cao Zhen couldn’t possibly abandon his only daughter.
Furthermore, Cao Shiyu was pregnant with his child, he was pleased with her physical state and that’s why he continued to indulge her.
He shouldn’t have brought Cao Shiyu out today, if someone had posted pictures of her crying to the internet, the storm that had just subsided might have started up again.
Before the auction officially started, Ye Xiandong, feeling uneasy, intentionally searched the internet, relieved to find that nobody had posted about the recent incident.
Next, he intended to have Ye Qilan suffer at the auction, reclaiming some lost ground.
Most importantly, this time it was Su Hongxing who had betrayed Ye Qilan. Only Su Hongxing could cause Ye Qilan such anguish, letting him taste the heart-wrenching feelings he experienced three years ago!
As the auction began, Little Pudding sat down quietly, not making a sound. Seeing the little one being so serious, Ye Qilan found it amusing.
How could this little girl be so likable?
Su Hongxing also watched Little Pudding without taking her eyes off her, she just couldn’t get enough.
Both of their attentions weren’t on the auction, but rather focused on Little Pudding.
The starting bid for the land in the east city was five hundred million, but the bidding war had driven it high.
In the beginning, Ye Qilan didn’t participate in the bidding, only joining in when the price had been driven up to one billion. He then raised his placard: “1.2 billion!”
Upon Ye Qilan’s bid, the others were secretly impressed. As expected of Ye Si, he didn’t make a move unless he meant business, and when he did, he made a big one at that.
Seeing Ye Qilan finally joining in, Ye Xiandong immediately perked up and bid too: “1.3 billion!”
Ye Qilan glanced in the direction of Ye Xiandong and raised his bid again: “1.5 billion!”
Ye Qilan’s bid caused a commotion throughout the auction.
After the frenzy over the eastern land plot, the starting price was impressive. Everyone said that Ye Qilan was determined to win the land. Taking it from him would be almost impossible.
Only Ye Xiandong would dare to go against Ye Qilan at this price.
With these numbers, the bidding was reaching astronomical proportions, surely Ye Xiandong would realize the difficulty and back down?
Many people had already given up on the bidding, watching the Ye sibling’s rivalry with great interest instead.
The room was buzzing, everyone was curious to see who would eventually win the land.
“1.5 billion for the first time, 1.5 billion for the second time…”
Just as everyone thought Ye Qilan would pocket the eastern land plot, Ye Xiandong raised his bid again: “1.6 billion!”
Ye Qilan didn’t hesitate to follow: “1.7 billion!”
The crowd looked at each other in shock, hardly believing what was happening.
Everyone in the room was wealthy and have seen their fair share of extravagant spending.
But money was not usually splurged in this manner. Over ten billion for a plot of land, breaking down to nearly twenty thousand per square meter, and that’s just the land price alone.
More investments would be needed later on. Even after winning the bid, more funds would need to be invested.
The Ye siblings were putting pride over reason, driving the price up this high just for the sake of face.
The others watched on with interest, wanting to see who would eventually come out on top between the two.
Regardless, the plot of land has become a hot commodity, tomorrow’s news headlines were set. Titles like “Drama at the Auction” would dominate the media.
Ye Xiandong looked at Ye Qilan and smiled faintly.
Su Hongxing had tipped him off about Ye Qilan’s psychological limit of two billion. This time, he didn’t hesitate and directly raised his bid: “2 billion!”
