Chapter 277: 0277 A burst of anger for a beauty Chapter 277: 0277 A burst of anger for a beauty No one dared to bid for Su Ran anymore!
“Four million and five hundred thousand, ‘Autumn Whispers'”
As the price climbed higher, the intervals between bids grew longer, and the mockery and contempt for Su Ran became more and more apparent.
“Five million, ‘Autumn Whispers'”
The auction hall had already begun to stir.
At least the object being auctioned had its inherent value, which was visible and tangible.
A piano piece for five million.
Although art is priceless, and there are many pieces worth tens of millions, most of them were not extreme piano enthusiasts, so many people felt a bit of heartache for the five million price tag on a single piece.
Even though Su Xinyan was a Grade 8 pianist, her performance vanished without a trace.
After the five million mark, there was a moment when no one started bidding.
And just then, a deep voice resounded in the hall, exceptionally loud.
“Ten million, ‘Autumn Whispers'”
The bidder was Gu Heng!
Ten million for a single piece.
The venue erupted into exclamations!
Gu Heng had not made a bid all evening, and at the beginning, Su Xinyan was very anxious; but now, her heart finally settled down, and her tense expression gradually relaxed.
She looked at the man beside her, her eyes filled with admiration and love.
Gu Heng looked at her tenderly.
“It’s worth the price, Xinyan. You played very well.”
She looked up at him, her beautiful eyes misty with tears, and her lovely face overwhelmed with emotion.
Happily, she nodded her head and glanced unintentionally in Su Ran’s direction, a hint of triumph flashing deep in her eyes.
She not only overtook Yun Feng’s eight million but also crushed Su Ran in a triumphant stance.
Whether it was her or her artists, they were all defeated by Su Xinyan.
She felt an unprecedented sense of exhilaration in her heart.
“Oh my God, ten million for a single piece.”
“I’m truly envious, Xinyan. You’re so lucky.”
“Yes, all the men in the hall are crazy about you, and President Gu is so angrily protective of you. Xinyan, you’re a true winner in life!”
“And then look at the other one, completely embarrassing!”
Quite a few looks of sympathy mixed with mockery turned toward Su Ran.
The sarcastic comments were endless!
Without a doubt, Su Ran had become a laughingstock that night!
Upon hearing this, Gu Heng’s face darkened slightly, and his hand holding the bidding paddle moved slightly, but Su Xinyan pressed it down quietly.
She wanted Su Ran to be scorned and mocked by everyone; how could she allow someone else to rescue her?
Especially if that person was Gu Heng!
Su Xinyan hurriedly spoke.
“Brother Heng, don’t worry about the matter between our sister and us… rest assured, with my sister’s means, someone would intercede on her behalf.”
Gu Heng thought of their entanglement with Su Ran and knew that if he helped Su Ran now and others found out later, it would become a joke.
He temporarily suppressed his impulse, but upon hearing the sarcasm around Su Ran, he felt indescribably irritable.
“Is there anyone else willing to continue the bidding? If not, ‘Autumn Whispers’ for ten million, tonight we…”
A cold voice slowly rose from the front row, unhurried, accompanied by the thin air.
The entire banquet hall fell dead silent!
They all looked up toward the source of the voice in the front row, seeing only a tall figure.
“Fifty million, ‘Dream Wedding'”
The man’s voice, as refreshing as a spring breeze, seemed to carry a harsh edge, especially the words ‘Dream Wedding,’ which he uttered as if through clenched teeth.
Everyone gasped in shock.
