Qiao Wanwan steeled herself and quickly kissed his thin lips. "Is this alright now?"
Zhan Jingting nodded in satisfaction. "That's good. Since Miss Qiao puts it that way, let's try another approach."
Before Qiao Wanwan could understand what he meant, Zhan Jingting grabbed her hand, picked up the remote control, and raised the price to 500 million.
"How could you go back on your word!" Qiao Wanwan exclaimed angrily.
"Don't rush."
Gu Xulin stood up abruptly, his chest heaving violently. His mind was consumed by rage, making it impossible for him to think calmly. He continued to raise the price: 600 million!
Zhan Jingting immediately increased it to 700 million!
Before anyone could react, Gu Xulin raised the price to 800 million!
Zhan Jingting curled his lips and tossed the remote control aside. "It's his now."
Qiao Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly threw the remote control far away, afraid that he might do something rash and raise the price again.
The auctioneer brought down the gavel, and the deal was sold for 800 million!
Gu Xulin finally felt a little better and slowly sat down. He turned to look at Qiao Yuqi, his face full of smugness. "Yuqi, are you happy?"
Qiao Yuqi hugged him and kissed him again and again, "Brother Xulin, you're so good!"
As the auction drew to a close, Qiao Wanwan said, "Let's go."
"No rush." Zhan Jingting calmly sipped his tea. "The show isn't over yet."
"What good show is it?"
"You just wait and see."
Qiao Wanwan sat quietly for a while, and then she saw Gu Xulin bring Qiao Yuqi downstairs to pay the bill.
The people sitting downstairs were all celebrities, and they all knew Gu Xulin. They all stood up to greet him.
"Young Master Gu, you've got some nerve! You've spent a fortune to buy the sapphire necklace."
"Miss Qiao is truly blessed."
Qiao Yuqi's face was filled with a happy smile. "Thank you everyone. My engagement banquet with Xulin will be held at Platinum Palace at the beginning of next month. Everyone is welcome to come and witness our love."
"Definitely, definitely."
The sycophant turned around and couldn't help but sneer, "Has Gu Xulin been bewitched today? He spent 800 million on a necklace that's worth at most 200 million. That's ridiculous."
"I used to think he was quite outstanding, but today he's acting like a rich man's foolish son. I wonder what his father, Gu Yanfeng, would think if he knew."
"I heard someone reported Gu Yanfeng to the authorities, and apparently Chairman Gu is very angry."
"He was clearly set up and manipulated, but he doesn't even realize it. His IQ is practically nonexistent..."
Gu Xulin and Qiao Yuqi both heard their discussion, and their expressions changed drastically.
Gu Xulin had never suffered such humiliation. He shook off Qiao Yuqi's hand, turned around, and strode away.
Qiao Wanwan suddenly realized, "Zhan Jingting, you're brilliant! You actually made him spend an extra 600 million to become a sucker and a laughing stock!"
Zhan Jingting smiled slightly, "Are you feeling comfortable?"
"It's comfortable, but you spent so much money to steal what he wanted as a prelude, I still don't think it was worth it."
Zhan Jingting was quite surprised, "You noticed?"
“That’s natural. Without your groundwork, he wouldn’t have lost control. Gu Xulin isn’t someone who would easily lose his temper.”
Looking back now, Zhan Jingting had been setting a trap for Gu Xulin from the very beginning.
This man is unfathomable.
Zhan Jingting sneered, "It seems you think highly of your ex-fiancé."
Qiao Wanwan: "..." Why does that sound so sarcastic!
"Ahem." Qiao Wanwan coughed lightly twice and said seriously, "Zhan Jingting, thank you for helping me get revenge."
Zhan Jingting patted her head and said, "As long as you're happy."
Qiao Wanwan was stunned. She wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Zhan Jingting's eyes were filled with a hint of doting.
A loud commotion suddenly came from outside the door, followed by Gu Xulin's voice, "Get out of my way, or tell the people inside to get out!"
Qiao Wanwan panicked.
"Don't be afraid." Zhan Jingting held her hand. "There are bodyguards outside."
Outside the door, two bodyguards blocked Gu Xulin's way: "Stop! You can't go in, and our master won't come out either. We advise you to get out of here!"
Gu Xulin's face turned ashen. "You dare stop me? Do you know who you are?"
"Even if you were the King of Heaven, you couldn't get in."
Gu Xulin laughed outright, "What a joke! In the capital, there's no place I, Gu Xulin, can't get into. Get out of my way!"
Two bodyguards grabbed Gu Xulin, dragged him to private room number six, and threw him inside.
"What are you doing!" Qiao Yuqi, who had finally caught up, stepped forward and pushed the bodyguard. "Don't touch my Xulin brother!"
The bodyguard pushed her inside as well and closed the door.
Zhan Jingting then spoke, "Let's go."
"Um."
Qiao Wanwan put on her mask, and the two of them went directly into the elevator and arrived at the parking lot.
Just as the driver was about to help Zhan Jingting into the car, the man glanced at him indifferently.
The driver understood immediately and said, "Miss Qiao, could you please help Mr. Zhan? I'll take the wheelchair."
Qiao Wanwan did not refuse, "Okay."
Zhan Jingting was in a good mood and put his hands on her shoulders for support, but the next second, he lost his balance and almost fell.
Qiao Wanwan instinctively hugged him, her lips brushing directly across the man's forehead.
A man's pleasant, deep voice sounded in her ear, "Miss Qiao is very proactive."
Qiao Wanwan: "......"!!
"I didn't mean to!"
"That's not important."
"No, this is very important!"
The man's smile deepened.
Qiao Wanwan was momentarily stunned. She had to admit, this man's smile was truly captivating, like a bewitching demon!
