Chapter 849 is completely different.
The price kept rising, eventually breaking into the eight-figure range, and Bai Weiying withdrew with a regretful expression.
"Eleven million!" the Viscountess declared, holding up her sign.
Another wealthy woman followed suit, raising her sign: "11.2 million!"
“This is He Junlin’s mother, Mrs. He,” Bai Weiying said softly.
At this point, only two people remained to compete in the auction, and the price continued to rise.
"Thirteen million eight hundred thousand!" the Viscountess shouted again, raising her sign.
Madam He pondered for a moment, hesitated repeatedly, raised her paddle and then lowered it again, but ultimately did not make a move and withdrew from the auction.
Upon seeing this, the host began to shout, "13.8 million, the first time!"
The Viscountess looked confident of her victory, her eyes filled with smugness.
"Thirteen million eight hundred thousand for the second time!" the host shouted again.
How could these Chinese people possibly compare to her?!
"Thirteen million eight hundred thousand..." The host glanced around, raised the gavel, and was about to bring it down when someone raised a paddle!
Helian Jiao suddenly raised her sign: "Fifteen million!"
Everyone was astonished, wondering if she had gone mad.
Don't they know their place? How dare they ask for such a price!
Bai Jingjing was even more smug: He jumped in without her encouragement, he's really stupid!
She glanced at Gu Tingyun, whose expression remained unchanged, and figured he was probably just holding back, after all, it was 15 million!
"Sixteen million!" Seeing that someone was still bidding against her, the Viscountess stopped adding two hundred thousand at a time and directly raised the price by one million!
Helian Jiao was not to be outdone: "Seventeen million!"
“Eighteen million!” the Viscountess continued to shout.
The little princess raised the price almost without pause: "Nineteen million!"
"Twenty million!" The Viscountess was so angry her face turned pale!
He couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath: "Damn it! Damn Chinese women!"
The two continued bidding up to a total of 20 million, and the scene was completely silent.
This time, it was the woman from the Yin Kingdom who had been mocked who secretly laughed.
And you're talking about her!
I wasn't forced into this state by a Chinese woman.
The little princess, who was never short of money, said without any pressure: "Twenty-one million."
"Twenty-two million!" The Viscountess hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and raised the sign to shout.
Seeing that the amount being shouted up was getting bigger and bigger, and that Little Rabbit still didn't seem to be stopping, Bai Weiying started to worry about her.
When she saw that Jiaojiao was about to raise her placard again, Bai Weiying said, "Jiaojiao, this jewelry is not suitable for you. It's too luxurious and elegant. It's more suitable for someone who is older."
"You can take pictures for your elders at home," Gu Tingyun explained, knowing that Bai Weiying was concerned about her child.
When Bai Weiying heard him say that, she knew he really didn't care, and she felt relieved.
Bai Jingjing clenched her fists tightly. How could this development be so different from what she had imagined?!
She thought Gu Tingyun would definitely be furious, after all, that adds up to 20 million, not 200,000 or 2 million!
To everyone's surprise, he remained calm and composed, showing no intention of stopping her.
She was somewhat incredulous.
How is that possible??
On what grounds?
Why should a poor girl receive such indulgence and care from Gu Tingyun?
She's just a bit better looking; in every other way, she's nowhere near as good-looking as me!
Bai Jingjing remained outwardly calm, but her heart was burning with jealousy, and she longed for Gu Tingyun even more!
Only a man like this is worthy of her!
