Several more auction items quickly passed by, with Mo Shu showing no interest at all.
This surprised everyone.
In the past, Mo Shu would bid regardless of whether she liked or understood the items.
Those with malicious intent enjoyed mocking her, and would deliberately drive up the price. Mo Shu, eager to show off her unique financial power, would always buy them, no matter how unreasonable the price was.
Every time she won an auction, people would come up to flatter her, leading Mo Shu to believe that she was some sort of keen and powerful figure.
In reality, she’d become the butt of everyone’s jokes.
However, this time, surprisingly, aside from the early drama with Mo Jiantao, she remained very quiet throughout.
Even Yu Jing, who always liked to trouble her, couldn’t find a reason to ridicule her and couldn’t help but feel a little bored.
Mo Shu was browsing through the auction catalog when she suddenly saw a place name: Shengyu Island.
Seeing this name, Mo Shu felt it was very familiar. After carefully searching through her memory, she suddenly remembered—this seemed to be a good place!
Yu Siqiao had bought this private island at the auction for 270 million.
The island, located on the edge of international waters, was expansive and had a nice climate. However, nearby conflicts and the high price meant there were few bidders.
After acquiring the island, Yu Siqiao had originally planned to invest a lot in its transformation into a resort, but for some reason, it wasn’t developed. Despite that, Yu Siqiao seemed very pleased with the island, as if he’d made quite a profit. Read complete version only at novel fire.net
This good mood lasted a while, and Yu Siqiao created many romantic moments for Gu Wenjuan.
And now, the island was no longer Yu Siqiao’s.
As Mo Shu felt her heart stir, the auctioneer began the bid: "Shengyu Island, starting at 50 million!"
Mo Shu looked up abruptly and shouted, "100 million!"
She’d doubled the price instantly!
Hearing Mo Shu’s voice, everyone laughed.
They knew she couldn’t hold back!
Yu Jing’s mouth twitched, "I thought she had become sensible, but I overestimated her."
"The island isn’t large and is unsafe; even 50 million is already too much," He Yan shook her head, "Mo Shu really hasn’t changed at all."
After shouting her bid, Mo Shu subconsciously looked towards Yu Siqiao.
Yi Lu found it odd as well and asked Yu Siqiao, "Brother Yu, weren’t you here for this small island, saying it was suitable for developing a resort? Why aren’t you bidding?"
Yu Siqiao said flatly, "If such a person is interested in it, it’s probably not that great. I don’t want it."
In the original story, didn’t Mo Shu also bid, and Yu Siqiao was unyielding, pushing the price up high? And now he’s saying this??
Mo Shu asked Sao Zha: Am I remembering the plot wrong? Why do I find that the male lead is deviating quite a bit from the original story?
Sao Zha: [There’s no deviation, the male lead has always looked down on you ~]
Subsequent bids came, but in the end, Mo Shu won the island for 180 million.
"The next item is a piece of jewelry that even Empress Dowager Cixi couldn’t obtain," the auctioneer exclaimed with awe, "A once-in-a-century ’Imperial Green’ glass necklace. This color, this translucency, this fluorescence—I’m seeing it for the first time in my life!"
The auctioneer’s exaggerated scream finally piqued the interest Yu Siqiao, who had been lackluster up to that point. Upon seeing the necklace, his pupils shrank sharply, followed by a torrent of rage.
