Chapter 199 It's Yours

Ye Wanxi calmed down slightly because of Feng Tianyu's generous words, but her gaze never left the old ginseng.

"Wait a minute."

Feng Tianyu's heart skipped a beat: "Wait for what?"

"Bai Haoqi is in VIP room number 15, right across from us. He doesn't know I'm here, and he'll definitely participate in the auction for this ginseng later. Let's see how things go. If he can afford it, I'll buy it from him at the original price when we get back. But if he doesn't have enough money this time and can't win the bid, we can bid against him ourselves."

Bai Haoqi had promised Ye Wanxi that he would bring her into this auction house.

When Feng Tianyu found out about this, the jealous man immediately had someone get him an auction house membership card and personally brought Ye Wanxi over.

Ye Wanxi had been struggling with this for several days, not knowing what reason to give for declining Bai Haoqi's invitation.

As a result, before she could figure out a solution, the variety show incident happened.

Now that's good, Ye Wanxi doesn't need to think of a reason anymore. But Bai Haoqi doesn't know that she's alright, let alone that she's already here.

Considering Ye Wanxi's absence, Bai Haoqi will definitely do everything in his power to acquire this ginseng.

If Ye Wanxi were to bid against him at this point, wouldn't she be just throwing money away to the auction house? She wasn't going to do something so foolish.

"..." This was the first time in his life that he had realized how difficult it was to spend money.

At this point, the host below began to introduce the old ginseng.

"As you can see, this is our sixth item for auction today: a 500-year-old ginseng. As you all know, ginseng has the effects of replenishing vital energy, restoring pulse and preventing collapse, calming the mind and enhancing intelligence. The older the wild ginseng, the stronger its medicinal properties. Nowadays, 100-year-old ginseng is already a rare treasure on the market, and it is hard to come by. Ginseng that is over 500 years old is even rarer, let alone one that is so well preserved."

The host stepped aside to allow everyone to clearly see the appearance of the ginseng.

"Alright, enough of that. Now, let's begin the auction for this ginseng. The starting bid is ten million. Guests who are interested in this ginseng should not miss this opportunity."

Ye Wanxi's heart skipped a beat when she heard the host's words.

Thinking back to that fishing painting, the starting bid was only five million, but it eventually sold for eighty million.

The starting bid for this ginseng is ten million, and I only have a little over eighty million in my spare cash.

If she were the only one who came today, she might not be able to beat the other person.

In the short time she was distracted, the sounds of bidding came from all directions.

However, the price quickly jumped to 50 million, with the main bidders coming from Box 6 and Box 15, where Bai Haoqi was located.

"Fifty-five million. The guest in VIP room number 15 has bid fifty-five million. Are there any other guests bidding against this price?"

Before he could finish speaking, a bid was called out from VIP room number 6.

"Sixty million."

Bai Haoqi frowned, realizing that the other party was also determined to get this ginseng, and his expression also became serious.

"Sixty-six million."

"Sixty-six million. The guest in box number 15 has bid sixty-six million."

"Seventy million."

"Seventy million. The guest in box number 6 has bid seventy million."

"Seventy-five million."

"Eighty million."

"Eighty-five million."

"Ninety million."

"Ninety-one million."

"Ninety-two million."

The people in the two private rooms were shouting so loudly and quickly that even the host couldn't get a word in edgewise.

However, after the price exceeded 90 million, the bidding arc between the two sides was noticeably less intense than before.

The guest in booth number 6 was a young woman in her early twenties. Seeing that booth number 15 was relentlessly pursuing her, she got so angry that she smashed a glass on the table.

"Damn it, who's in VIP room number 15? How dare they try to steal my stuff!"

"Miss, the information of our auction house's guests is kept strictly confidential."

"Useless!" Fan Shudie's face was contorted with rage, but her eyes remained fixed on the ginseng below, as if they were poisoned.

A hint of humiliation flashed across the man's face as he was called trash. He whispered a reminder, "Miss, the old master only gave us a budget of 120 million. If it exceeds that..."

When the man said this, the bill for 100 million had already been raised in VIP room number 15.

A hint of madness flashed in Fan Shudie's eyes as she directly called out, "One hundred and twenty million."

"Miss!" The man was taken aback, looking at Fan Shudie as if she were a madwoman.

At that moment, Bai Haoqi, who was in VIP room number 15, also changed his expression when he heard the price.

The old butler standing behind him sighed softly, knowing that they would not be able to acquire this ginseng.

Although they had done their best to ask for that price, the young master probably still felt sorry for Miss Ye.

After Fan Shudie called out her name and waited a few seconds without hearing another bid from VIP room number 15, the ferocious expression on her face finally relaxed a little.

The host waited a moment, then announced loudly, "One hundred and twenty million. The guest in VIP room number 6 has bid one hundred and twenty million. Are there any other guests who want to bid?"

"One hundred and twenty million once, one hundred and twenty million twice..."

Hearing the host's announcement, Fan Shudie thought the matter was finally settled. She lay back on the sofa and revealed an arrogant smile.

However, before her smile could fully bloom, a deep voice suddenly rang out.

"Two hundred million."

"What?" Fan Shudie's smile froze, her face contorted with surprise.

The host was also taken aback for a moment before announcing, "The guest in VIP room number 7 has bid 200 million. Is there anyone else who wants to bid?"

It's obvious that it's impossible; the gap between 120 million and 200 million is not something that can be easily bridged.

"Two hundred million once, two hundred million twice, two hundred million three times, sold! This five-hundred-year-old ginseng belongs to the guests in VIP room number 7."

The moment the hammer fell, Fan Shudie overturned the table in the private room.

Inside VIP box number 7, Feng Tianyu turned to Ye Wanxi with a faint smile: "It's yours now."

While happy, Ye Wanxi also felt a little heartache: "Actually, you didn't have to pay such a high price. The guests in room number 6 are clearly not confident anymore."

“It’s okay, I spend more than that in a year at the hospital.”

"..."

Ye Wanxi's expression immediately became indescribable. Was the senior brother's treatment really this expensive?

No, she had to help him get better quickly; she couldn't let him continue to squander money like this!

Once she got her hands on the ginseng, Ye Wanxi's enthusiasm waned. She ate the fruit that had been brought to her while watching the remaining items for auction with little interest.

By the end, Ye Wanxi was almost asleep when something was suddenly pushed up to her.

"Next, let's take a look at today's final auction item."

The moment the red cloth was lifted, Ye Wanxi jumped to her feet.

Thank you to Wei Liang Tu Mou Yi Qian Zhi Ban and Mo Yang Gong for the two 100-point donations; thank you to Zui Feng Ran Mo, Luo, Feng, and Chi Bao Le Shui for the 100-point donations; thank you to backlighting for the two 200-point and 588-point donations; thank you to Jiang Bian Xian Ren for the 588-point donation. Thank you everyone for your support! A big kiss to the group! (づ￣3￣)づ╭～
