Chapter 65 Pei Jiuyan's Interesting Anecdotes
There are indeed a lot of people here today. After Yun Zhaozhao released the news, they had been watching and waiting. When the Wen family took over the matter, they knew there was a chance. So they all came today. On the one hand, they wanted to see if anyone really dared to buy Pei Jiuyan's things. On the other hand, they also wanted to see Pei Jiuyan's collection. You know, today it's not just real estate, but also a lot of Pei Jiuyan's collection.
One minute before the auction began, Chen Boxu arrived. His appearance immediately attracted the attention of many people, who all glanced at Pei Jiuyan, wondering if the two would start fighting.
"I almost missed such a big event."
Chen Boxu smiled, but the injuries on his face hadn't fully healed and were still somewhat bruised. His smile didn't make him look handsome at all; in fact, it made him look rather ugly. Yun Zhaozhao glanced at him and then looked away.
It's so offensive, it's an insult to her eyes.
Pei Jiuyan completely ignored Chen Boxu. When he saw Yun Zhaozhao turn her head away impatiently, a smile appeared on his lips.
Sure enough, he was right to punch Chen Boxu in the face; the little princess can't stand ugly things.
Thinking of this, he touched his face again, wishing he could be ten years younger, so that Yun Zhaozhao might have a better chance of forgiving him.
Chen Boxu came here today specifically to embarrass Pei Jiuyan, so when the first item was auctioned, he couldn't wait to raise his paddle.
The first cars auctioned were those registered under Pei Jiuyan's name. He wasn't particularly interested in cars and wasn't an enthusiast; he only owned a few for everyday use. The prices weren't especially high, just a million. For someone of his status, these cars were clearly not worth mentioning. However, no one dared to underestimate the license plates.
The bids for the cars were not high, and only Chen Boxu raised his paddle, so these cars naturally became Chen Boxu's property.
He glanced provocatively in Pei Jiuyan's direction, a look that made Xing Shangye's fists harden. He knew that Chen Boxu had always owed him something, but he hadn't expected him to owe him this much.
Noticing Chen Boxu's gaze, Pei Jiuyan glanced at him and slowly uttered two words: "Idiot!"
It's just a few cars. He can take them if he wants, thinking he's gotten a bargain. The little money he has is probably only enough to buy those few cars. In this situation, he still does such a stupid thing. What else can he be but a fool?
Yun Zhaozhao didn't bother with the banter between the two. As long as someone bought it, it didn't matter who bought it. She wouldn't turn down money.
With this successful start, the subsequent auctions went much more smoothly, especially for some antiques, which were hotly debated.
"We're not going to film?"
Xing Shangye asked.
Pei Jiuyan shrugged like a bachelor: "I don't have a penny right now, and I even need your help to eat."
Xing Shangye: "..."
How did he end up with such a friend?
He had thought Pei Jiuyan was reluctant to part with these antiques, but it seems that wasn't the case.
Soon, it was time to talk about the houses. The first one was a small apartment, only about 80 square meters. Everyone was curious that Pei Jiuyan actually owned such a small apartment.
Upon hearing about the house, Yun Zhaozhao's eyes flickered slightly; she hadn't expected Pei Jiuyan to still have this house.
This is the house where Pei Jiuyan lived during college; many of their wonderful first experiences took place here.
Pei Jiuyan cooked for her for the first time, kissed her for the first time, and even... slept with her for the first time.
At this point, the auctioneer began to announce the bids: "Starting price: six million."
Although the apartment wasn't large, it was in a good location near University A, and the property prices there had always been decent. This price was already lower than many others. However, the people who came here today were all prominent figures, and they weren't very interested in a small apartment.
Moreover, houses are private things, unlike antiques. Everyone was very discreet and did not raise their hands. However, Chen Boxu did not have this discrepancy and raised his sign.
"Okay, this gentleman has offered six million."
Pei Jiuyan's eyes turned cold, and she kicked Xing Shangye, who quickly raised his sign.
"This gentleman offered six million one hundred thousand."
Chen Boxu twitched the corner of his mouth. He knew it... and soon he raised the sign again.
Xing Shangye raised the sign without Pei Jiuyan's prompting.
Now everyone can see that these two are at odds. Xing Shangye definitely bought the house for Pei Jiuyan, but Chen Boxu insists on fighting for it. This is going to be a good show.
Soon, the house was speculated to be worth ten million, which was a serious premium, but neither side showed any sign of stopping.
"Should we continue?"
Xing Shangye asked.
Pei Jiuyan glanced at him unhappily: "Are you that poor?"
Xing Shangye: "..."
He didn't know if others were dogs or not, but Pei Jiuyan was definitely a dog. Who had ever seen someone ask for help with such a self-righteous attitude?
Seeing that Chen Boxu had not stopped after reaching 14 million, Xing Shangye couldn't help but get a little anxious.
That's all his money that was spent.
He realized that Chen Boxu, that bastard, was deliberately driving up the price.
Seeing that the other party had raised the price again, Pei Jiuyan directly raised her paddle and said, "Fifty million."
Everyone else gasped. Although fifty million was nothing to them, spending that money to buy their own house felt really frustrating. But when they thought that all that money would end up in Yun Zhaozhao's hands, they didn't know what to say. Perhaps this was Pei Jiuye's kind of fun.
Chen Boxu smiled and put down the sign, indicating that he would not follow any further, and in the end, the house would naturally belong to Xing Shangye.
Xing Shangye's eyes turned green: "Brother, that's my money, can you be a little more careful with it?"
"It's not like I'm not going to pay you back."
"Then you should pay it back."
Xing Shangye died speechless.
"I owe it."
Pei Jiuyan gave a casual reply, but he kept looking at Yun Zhaozhao. From his angle, he could see Yun Zhaozhao's profile. When he heard that he had won the bid for the house, Yun Zhaozhao didn't show any particular expression.
Has he forgotten everything that happened in that house? That house meant more to them than their wedding home.
Pei Jiuyan never believed that Yun Zhaozhao had let go, but her current behavior left him no choice but to believe it.
For a moment, bitterness spread in my mouth, an indescribable taste.
Yun Zhaozhao sensed Pei Jiuyan's gaze but did not look in his direction.
She could give up Pei Jiuyan, let alone a house.
Behind this house are several large villas, all worth hundreds of millions.
The auction house is preparing to auction his villa in Repulse Bay first, based on its value. He just announced a starting price: "200 million."
Before anyone could raise their paddle, the auction hall door was pushed open, and a voice said, "No one is allowed to sell."
