Chapter 276: 0276 Bid Chapter 276: 0276 Bid The man’s fingers threaded through hers, locking tightly with her own.
Su Ran couldn’t move at all, so she simply stopped struggling and smiled slightly at him, about to speak, when the host and the auctioneer walked onto the stage.
“The performances of the two pieces are over, and now the bidding starts.”
As the host’s words fell, the entire venue remained silent.
Not a single person in the room made a sound, nor did anyone place a bid.
“I think both pieces were lovely, especially ‘Dream Wedding.’ The artistic conception was profound; it felt like one was truly immersed in it.”
“Yeah, yeah, when I closed my eyes just now, I really felt like I went through a wedding in my dreams.”
“Ah, ah, ah… a marriage based on love, I’m truly envious!”
Lin Siya looked at Su Xinyan, whose face was pale, and spoke with sarcastic undertones:
“What’s the use of a high conception? Piano is a matter of piano skills. Xinyan is a Grade 8 pianist; surely she doesn’t lose to someone who plays at random.”
Hearing this, the other women around her also voiced their support.
“Exactly, anyone not blind or heart-blinded knows who has better piano skills.”
“That’s not necessarily true; it is an era of judging by appearances now. Who knows, maybe someone will be infatuated and willing to go against their conscience, right?”
“Sigh… Our Xinyan is really too pitiful, a Grade 8 pianist, and yet she’s losing to someone not fit to be on stage.”
“I can’t go against my conscience. Since no one is bidding, I’ll start then, 1 million for ‘Autumn Whispers’.”
Lin Siya was the first to raise her bidder’s card, and following her words, others in the venue started to bid as well.
“1.5 million for ‘Autumn Whispers’.”
“2 million for ‘Autumn Whispers’.”
“2.5 million for ‘Autumn Whispers’.”
“3 million for ‘Autumn Whispers’.”
The number of people raising their cards increased, everyone bidding on behalf of Su Xinyan.
Lin Siya and the others had blocked all of Su Ran’s retreats; naturally, no one wanted to be the heart-blind, infatuated person they described.
The terror of public opinion is just .
Of course, there were many who genuinely bid for Su Xinyan, as her piano skills were indeed exceptional.
Not a single person bid for Su Ran.
Ye Zhichen’s expression was somewhat ugly as she felt indignant.
Blind and heart-blind, it’s unclear who truly is blind and heart-blind.
Just as she was about to raise her card, Su Ran was quick and almost instinctively pressed down on her hand.
Ye Zhichen furrowed her brows, looking at her somewhat disapprovingly.
Su Ran felt somewhat helpless and sighed gently.
She couldn’t guarantee that if Ye Zhichen bid tonight, Fu Qiyuan’s hostility towards her wouldn’t deepen.
Caught between her best friend and boyfriend, she had it too hard!
“4 million for ‘Autumn Whispers’.”
The price tag for Su Xinyan’s piece climbed higher, and any frustration from the evening finally dissipated.
She looked proudly in Su Ran’s direction, with a vicious glint in her eyes.
Let you be proud, let you show off!
The higher the price was called out, the better Xinyan felt.
“4.2 million for ‘Autumn Whispers’.”
“To think not a single person bid for her, it’s utterly embarrassing.”
“Heh, she deserves it! If I were her, I’d wish I could just burrow into the ground.”
“How disliked does one have to be to be shunned to this extent?”
“Does she think others are unaware of her true colors? Fool.”
Laughter and jeers from the women around Su Xinyan followed, one after another.
