Chapter 589: Chapter 589: Fourth Brother, it’s Miss Su who stabs you in the back!_1
Ye Qilan turned to look at Ye Xiandong when he heard him bid 2 billion.
Ye Xiandong grinned at Ye Qilan, confident of his victory. He didn’t believe Ye Qilan would dare to raise the price.
“2 billion for the first time…”
“2 billion for the second time…”
Finally, the auctioneer banged the gavel, “2 billion, sold!”
Ye Xiandong shot a triumphant glance at Ye Qilan, who was expressionless, his thoughts unknowable.
Cao Shiyu witnessed the stand-off between the Ye brothers. Ye Xiandong had won, which excited her. She planted a kiss on Ye Xiandong’s cheek, “Third Brother, you finally beat Fourth Brother. Let’s go tell Fourth Brother that Su Hongxing betrayed him!”
She was thrilled at the prospect of seeing the look on Ye Qilan’s face when he learned the truth.
“Sisi’s biggest mistake is keeping Su Hongxing around. He brought this upon himself!” Ye Xiandong sneered.
Since Su Hongxing was the only weapon that could hurt Ye Qilan, he would use her to his advantage.
By controlling Su Hongxing, he in essence controlled Ye Qilan. No matter how capable Ye Qilan was, with Su Hongxing as his weakness, he wouldn’t be difficult to deal with.
After the auction, Ye Xiandong intended to flaunt his victory to Ye Qilan, but to his surprise, Ye Qilan walked towards him, “Third Brother, congratulations on winning the land in the Eastern City.”
“Thank you!” Ye Xiandong replied with courtesy, but his arrogance shone through, “It’s all thanks to my superior intel that I won this piece of land.”
As he spoke, he cast a pointed glance at Su Hongxing.
Noticing this, Cao Shiyu chimed in, “Third Brother, didn’t you say Miss Su gave you the inside information?”
As soon as she finished her sentence, she covered her mouth, “Oops! I spoke out of turn again.”
Ye Xiandong and Cao Shiyu coordinated in their attempt to provoke Ye Qilan.
But instead, Ye Qilan turned to Su Hongxing, brushing her windblown hair to the side, before addressing Ye Xiandong, “I think the land in the Eastern City is decent, but paying 2 billion for it seems a bit high. Third Brother, I’m a bit worried that you overpaid for a worthless plot. Of course, if you spent a fortune to get this land, you must have your reasons, right?”
Ye Xiandong assumed Ye Qilan was just putting on a brave face. His motive behind winning the bid was to thwart Ye Qilan’s plans. With real estate prices skyrocketing in major cities and Taicheng’s development on the rise, this land wouldn’t cause him a loss.
More importantly, it would disrupt Ye Qilan’s business plans, preventing him from moving forward with his bar project. That was the key point.
“Since I bought this land, I will definitely put it to good use. Fourth Brother, there’s no need for you to worry about that.” Ye Xiandong looked back and forth between Ye Qilan and Su Hongxing, feeling their calm demeanor was odd.
Even after he and Cao Shiyu told Ye Qilan that Su Hongxing betrayed him, why did Ye Qilan show no reaction?
While Ye Xiandong was anxious, Cao Shiyu was even more impatient.
She hadn’t expected Ye Qilan to stay composed despite losing the bid. Didn’t everyone say Ye Qilan was determined to acquire this piece of land? Now that it had been snatched away, shouldn’t he be furious?
What’s more, Su Hongxing had stabbed him in the back.
“Fourth Brother, it was Miss Su who backstabbed you! If it weren’t for Su Hongxing, you would have secured this land,” Cao Shiyu decided not to beat around the bush, and revealed the harsh truth, hoping to reveal Su Hongxing’s true colors to Ye Qilan.
