Teacher Gu clenched her fists in anxiety, and after a long while, she finally managed to utter a number: "Three and a half million!"
He clearly lacked confidence.
He looked at Ye Weiwei sitting in the second row, wishing he could rush to her side and make her pay for the bid.
Finally, Ye Weiwei made her bid.
And his opening bid was an overwhelming four million, surpassing the Yu family's initial offer: "Eight million!"
Upon hearing this price, which was twice as high as the Yu family's bid, the auction hall erupted in uproar, with many people watching Ye Weiwei and Uncle Yu with amusement.
Uncle Yu suppressed his anger and said in a sarcastic tone, "Truly, the younger generation is formidable. Alas, my old bones are no longer up to par. I have a connection with this little green dragon, but I wonder if this young friend could do me the favor and part with it?"
Ye Weiwei's lips curled into a hint of arrogance: "President Yu, auctions are all about who bids the highest. If you really like it, then raise your paddle and say so. You can't rely on your seniority and break the rules of the auction."
Uncle Yu's face flushed red with anger, and after a long while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Nine million!"
Seeing the Yu family suffer a setback, the few people who had been secretly plotting against them all revealed a hint of schadenfreude.
Although Wei Meng is a rising star that has only recently emerged in Hong Kong, she is very powerful. She acquired several plots of land in Hong Kong with her first move and has been spending money everywhere in Hong Kong lately, building hotels and developing real estate, saying that she wants to create some kind of high-end business district. She is very arrogant.
It's not that no one wants to crush this small company, but they don't know the background of the other party. They have countless experts around them, both literary and martial. Those who want to cause trouble not only didn't gain any advantage, but also suffered serious losses.
This finally made the upper-class circles in the port city take it seriously.
This auction served two purposes: first, to set a trap for the Yu family; and second, to uncover the true identity of the person behind Wei Meng.
I never expected it to be such a young, blonde girl.
At first, they thought it was some young person from a family who had come to broaden their horizons and didn't take it seriously. After several tests, they realized that the other party was not as harmless and innocent as they seemed.
Now that she has publicly humiliated the Yu family, they think this woman is a fool who is young and fearless.
Perfect, let's use this idiot as a knife to cut off the Yu family's flesh and blood, saving them the trouble of lifting a finger.
So, those who originally wanted to stir up trouble watched as Ye Weiwei and Uncle Yu went back and forth on the field, and the price of the little green dragon rose again and again, even becoming an astronomical figure far exceeding their expectations!
"Twenty-three million!"
Uncle Yu squeezed out these words through gritted teeth, his eyes filled with a hatred that seemed to want to tear Ye Weiwei apart.
"Mr. Ye, I advise you to know when to stop and leave yourself an out so you can meet again in the future."
Ye Weiwei rested her chin on her finger, lazily raised her eyes to look at Uncle Yu, and chuckled: "Alright! Since President Yu has gone to such lengths to beg me, I won't raise the price. I don't want to upset him and cause him any more trouble, or people will say I'm unforgiving."
"You...you...this..."
Enraged by Ye Weiwei's words, Uncle Yu slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly. Then, his vision went black, and he collapsed limply to the ground.
"Father!"
Yu Chengwu cried out in alarm and quickly caught his second uncle, then glared angrily at Ye Weiwei: "The Yu family will remember this humiliation!"
Ye Weiwei patted her chest in feigned fear and said in an affected manner, "Oh dear, is Young Master Yu threatening me? I'm so scared!"
"You..." Yu Chengwu was so angry that he couldn't speak to Ye Weiwei.
Ye Weiwei sneered and said disdainfully, "Young Master Yu, if I were you, I would hurry up and find a reliable doctor for your father. Why bother with such a trivial matter! Tsk tsk!"
Yu Chengwu glared at Ye Weiwei, then helped his second uncle up and prepared to leave.
Upon receiving the prompting, the person presiding over the auction quickly asked, "Second Young Master Yu, this item..."
Yu Chengwu took a check out of his father's pocket, quickly signed a string of numbers, and then said to the Yu family bodyguards behind him, "Safely escort the things home."
"yes!"
Thus, the auction for the first item ended with the head of the Yu family fainting from anger.
The subsequent auction items were all ordinary goods, a wide variety of strange and wonderful items, including antiques, jewelry, autographed posters of celebrities, clothing and watches from luxury brands, and so on.
In short, compared to the first Azure Dragon artifact, this was very perfunctory and not even in the same league as the other auction items.
Even the grand finale was a diamond necklace, which, coincidentally, was one that Chen Mengyi had randomly picked out and submitted for auction.
Ye Weiwei glanced at the items and found nothing of interest. She simply held up the sign a few times and snapped a few small trinkets.
As expected, after the auction, many people tried to befriend Ye Weiwei, but she skillfully deflected them all and left with them.
After getting on the bus, Teacher Gu remained sullen. He was so excited when he first saw the Azure Dragon artifact that he didn't have time to think it through. Later, seeing Ye Weiwei bidding against Uncle Yu, he gradually came to his senses and realized that he had been too impulsive at first.
But he didn't understand why Ye Weiwei, who was clearly a member of the Yu family, would... would maliciously raise prices with Uncle Yu, even making Uncle Yu faint from anger. Why was that?
Even though he was in turmoil, Teacher Gu didn't say anything in the car. But once they got back to the hotel and everyone was dismissed and sent back to their rooms, he couldn't help but go to find Ye Weiwei. He wanted to ask her why she did what she did.
However, after knocking on the door for a long time, Ye Weiwei did not come to open it, and she even disturbed Teacher Bai and the others. In the end, he had no choice but to go back to his room in a bad mood.
He thought Ye Weiwei was deliberately avoiding him, but little did he know that Ye Weiwei was currently focused on taking revenge and didn't even have time to see her children.
Based on the information she gathered at today's banquet, along with some clues she discovered, Ye Weiwei deduced and pieced together the truth, and now she knows which families want to bring down the Yu family.
She's flying to the US tomorrow, so she can only strike tonight while they're off guard.
The first family we need to deal with is the Chen family!
Since Chen Mengyi was framed, the Chen family has lost its only legitimate eldest daughter, and now the factions are in chaos, with constant open and covert struggles, making it a complete mess.
However, even a broken ship has three thousand nails. After all, the Chen family is a top family in Hong Kong, and its foundation is still intact. It won't fall so quickly, unless Ye Weiwei takes action.
Previously, out of consideration for Chen Mengyi, Ye Weiwei was happy to hand over all the affairs of the Chen family to Chen Mengyi, letting Chen Mengyi personally settle the grudges between them. However, according to common sense, this would obviously take a long time. Moreover, those people who were testing the person in charge behind Weimeng might not be without the Chen family's backing. Clearly, the Chen family had begun to have doubts.
