Chapter 688: Chapter 688: Seemingly Determined to Win Chapter 688: Chapter 688: Seemingly Determined to Win Yun Long nearly stumbled!
His sister is so terrifying, to actually dare to make the boss kneel on a washboard and a durian… It must be said, she’s doing a splendid job!
“I think, it seems like they are all not bad…” Yun Long answered unconfidently, as if he was afraid that Hao Yansen would overhear him.
But he was resolutely on his own sister’s side!
So boss, since you’ve made a mistake, go and take your punishment, hahaha…
“Three million five hundred thousand.” Hao Yansen, who had no idea that the ten cruel punishments of the Qing Dynasty were waiting for him, raised his hand again.
“Four million!” Shao Wei also raised his hand without blinking an eye.
Heh, he was not afraid of raising the stakes. Luo Baichuan had made it clear he wanted to compete, so no matter the price, Luo Baichuan would surely buy it.
And Shao Wei was not afraid of footing the bill in the end, because he and the Lan Family were insiders, and in private he wouldn’t need to pay at all.
Besides, taking this opportunity to demonstrate his financial power to Luoyun was also a good choice.
“Four million five hundred thousand.” As expected, Hao Yansen raised his hand again.
Yun Long timidly added, “Sister, I actually think the durian seems better, let’s go with the durian.”
“Okay!” Mo Jun also thought so, and would buy two durians when she got back…
“Five million!” Shao Wei continued to compete with him and added another fifty thousand without blinking an eye.
The crowd began to exclaim in surprise.
“Lan Yue is so lucky, they all want to buy it for her. One is her brother, and the other is the man she likes, how can she be so fortunate?”
“I’ve always thought that Luo Baichuan was indifferent to women, but he would also spend a fortune for a beautiful lady.”
“Could the rumors be true? Do they really have some kind of private relationship?”
“Anyway, she’s the biggest winner tonight…”
“I wonder if Luo Baichuan will continue to bid; from the look of it, he seems set on winning.”
“Of course, he will, he’s not short on money! Spending this bit to please a beauty, it’s nothing to him, right?”
Listening to the surrounding discussions, Lan Yue’s expression grew more proud and pleased. She knew that this time Luo Baichuan would take the bait, that he would take the initiative to move closer to her.
To make him take the initiative, she had specifically organized this auction, using the Medicine Queen’s reputation to attract him; unexpectedly, he really took the bait…
Although he might have wanted to secure a chance to meet the Medicine King alone, as long as he bought the necklace, he would certainly give it to her, right? After all, she was the birthday girl tonight, and she was going to introduce him to the Medicine Queen.
No matter his feelings towards her, tonight he was bound to show her favor.
As long as he took this first step, she had many ways to make him take the second and third… until he was completely attracted to her.
Lan Yue was smug about her strategy but then realized that Luo Baichuan seemed to have stopped bidding.
The auctioneer deliberately slowed down his voice, “Mr. Luo, Mr. Shao has bid five million, will you continue to bid?”
Hao Yansen didn’t answer, only slightly dropped his gaze, wearing a thoughtful look.
Lan Yue knew that it was probably close to his limit.
She hurriedly sent a text message to Shao Wei, [Don’t bid next time.]
Shao Wei curled his lips in understanding, [Got it.]
If he continued to bid, Luo Baichuan might truly give up. This wasn’t the outcome Lan Yue wanted.
But Hao Yansen still did not make any reaction.
The auctioneer, left with no alternative, resorted to a provocative tactic: “Five million going once, is there any further bid?!”
