Chapter 477 Jealousy
"That's great, Granham, don't be a coward, keep adding more. Do you still want to win Miss Patricia's favor?"
A group of people in the box gathered around a handsome man with makeup on his face and a frail body and started to make a fuss.
Another group of people gathered around another arrogant young master, grinning and fanning the flames. "Dusido, hurry up and add to the list! Your Lopez family is the richest family in the aristocratic world. How can you be inferior to Granham?"
"Yes, yes, don't you like Miss Patricia too? Hurry up, whoever takes the picture of the durian will definitely win Miss Patricia's heart."
Du Xiduo immediately raised his head and laughed arrogantly, "Humph, I am the eldest son of the Lopez family, the first heir to the Lopez family. How can Granham compare to me? Just wait and see, I will definitely buy the durian to please Miss Patricia."
When Granham heard this, his face twisted with anger.
What he hated most was the identity of Du Xiduo's eldest son and the legitimate first heir.
Compared with Dusido, although he is a favored junior in the Garcia family, his apparent status is still much lower. Although his father is the second son of Duke Garcia and is also highly valued, his grandfather the Duke still values his uncle's family more.
He was not his father's legitimate son. His mother was originally his father's lover and only married his father as his second wife after his father's wife died.
He also has an older sister, Lorraine Garcia, who was born to his father's former wife.
Granham felt unhappy when he saw his half-sister. He pretended to be weak all day long, causing others to think that he was bullying her. For this, he was often punished by his father.
But his mother often told him that Lorena was willing to be trained as a marriage candidate for her father, and asked him that no matter how much she hated her or how much she troubled him behind his back, he must behave properly in public.
So Granham saw that although Lorena's eyes were not eyes and her nose was not a nose, she still observed basic courtesy in public and did not make a fool of herself in front of outsiders.
Especially since his sister actually became Patricia's little follower, Granham's little schemes came to the fore again, such as threatening her to help her speak well of her in front of Patricia and help him pass on information.
If he could win the favor of the Empire's No. 1 Rose, hehe, then we'll see how Du Xiduo can still be so arrogant in front of him.
Thinking of this, Granham's mouth corners kept rising, and he raised the price more and more frantically.
Lorena just sent him a message, saying that if he could take a picture of giving the durian to Patricia, he would get a date with Patricia tomorrow.
Raise the price, raise it as much as you can, add up all the pocket money you’ve earned over the years.
In his eyes, this durian auction is not just about a durian, but also a competition for face and beauty, and it is worth it no matter how much it costs.
Du Xiduo also frowned, and with the look of a proud rooster, he challenged Granham and was unwilling to fall behind.
In this jealous battle, it was Lan Xuyan, the unrelated third party, who was the first to withdraw from the "battlefield", leaving the two elementary school kids to fight each other.
But this was enough to make Yun Qimu, Pei Yu and others smile, because the price had now soared to 8.8 million.
Good heavens, it seems they still underestimated the nobles of the empire.
Pei Yu seemed to have noticed the conflict between the two men, and Jin Mingjun, the "undercover" who was watching the scene in the box, tipped him off and reported it in real time. When one of them hesitated, he decisively used an encouraging tone, saying something like "whoever buys the durian will win the beauty", and the stagnant price was stimulated to soar again.
In the end, Granham even took out the money to buy underwear. He was really exhausted and stopped bidding unwillingly. In the end, Du Xiduo successfully won the bid at a price of 12 million and bought a big durian.
"Hmph, as the direct heir of the Lopez family, I can get dividends from hundreds of Lopez family companies. How can you, a mistress with nothing, compare with me?" Du Xido proudly raised his chin to Granhan and said provocatively.
What he said was right. Compared to the Garcia family which controlled the army, the Lopez family controlled half of the business circles in the empire. The family's wealth accumulated over several generations was quite huge.
Although Du Xiduo, as the first heir of the direct line, is a playboy and has not made any contribution, he still has what he deserves. Not to mention 10 million energy coins, he can even take out 50 million, 100 million or 200 million energy coins.
Of course, the prerequisite is that his grandfather and father will find out, and then he will be scolded. However, he is not afraid of this. Recently, their family is in trouble with the Garcia family. If he can suppress Granham, he believes that his grandfather and others will be happy.
A smug smile appeared on Du Xiduo's delicate and arrogant face.
"You" Granham gasped angrily, staring at Du Siduo with his eyes, wishing he could pounce on him and bite him to death.
Du Xiduo hummed a little tune, not taking him seriously at all, and walked happily to Patricia to please the beauty.
Lorena stood in the corner and watched the whole process, especially when she saw Granham's furious but helpless look, her heart was filled with pleasure.
If she had to say who she hated the most, it was not Patricia, Luo Xian, or Jin Mingjun, but Granham and his mother. They had occupied the position that belonged to her mother and her, forcing her to fall from a pampered young lady to a poor little thing that did not live up to its name.
If it wasn't for the need to survive in the hands of this mother and son, why would she have allowed herself to degenerate and allow her family to train her like a puppet to be a candidate for marriage? If it weren't for this mother and son, she could also be as proud and unbridled as Salina, and pursue the person she likes instead of trying to please another man for the sake of marriage.
She hated it so much, so much!
"Lorraine, you're here, come here quickly." Patricia called out, and then her soft hand took her arm, and with a smile, she pulled her out of the dark corner. "The durian from the Duxiduo auction will be delivered soon, you can try it too."
"Okay." Lorena nodded obediently, then expressed her gratitude sweetly to Du Xiduo with shining eyes.
In the blink of an eye, which no one could see, a dark light flashed in Lorena's eyes.
This Ducido is the second marriage candidate that the Garcia family has set their sights on. If the eldest prince and the third prince are unreliable, then the Garcia family can unite with Lopez, so that the Garcia family can still survive for a thousand years.
Not to mention that the Garcia family controls the military, but Duke Garcia, as the head of the family, is well aware that eggs should not be put in one or two baskets.
