The entire auction hall was nearing a fever pitch due to the fierce competition between Mu Yan and Zhao Jia Min.
Everyone held their breath watching the two bid against each other. Just when they thought this battle would be endless, one side suddenly withdrew.
They felt as if they were being lifted high into the air, then suddenly dropped.
Zhao Jia Min looked at Mu Yan, a bit taken aback. She had stopped bidding?
On stage, the host joyfully announced, "Ten million once, ten million twice, ten million thrice. Congratulations, Mrs. Gao. This limited edition album by Zhang Chu is now yours. On behalf of all children with heart conditions, I thank you for your generosity."
Instantly, there was a round of applause below.
"Congratulations, congratulations."
"Truly, Mrs. Gao is generous with her spending."
"Money well spent on a precious collectable. Mrs. Gao made a worthwhile investnt with that ten million."
...
People around Zhao Jia Min showered her with complints.
Zhao Jia Min smiled slightly, joining the applause, looking extrely smug.
She turned her head towards Mu Yan, only to see her speaking with Ning Shishen, without the slightest look of regret for losing sothing dear.
Her heart sank, realizing sothing was amiss.
Could she have deliberately set a trap for her?
Spending ten million on an album, people might openly say she’s wealthy, but who knows what they’re saying behind her back?
Her face instantly turned grim as she looked forward.
Ning Shishen looked at Mu Yan and smiled, "Did you do it on purpose?"
"Yes!" Mu Yan replied candidly. "But she seems really rich, probably doesn’t care."
Ning Shishen chuckled softly, "What if she had stopped bidding midway?"
Mu Yan smiled, "Then I’d buy it. My brother likes it, and I get to do so charity."
Her budget this ti happened to be exactly ten million, so she had no worries.
Ning Shishen smiled slightly; she truly was optimistic.
Soon, the next auction item arrived, a diamond necklace.
Mu Yan, with the intention of doing charity, bid on it.
She bid "two million," and Zhao Jia Min imdiately called out three million.
She bid four million, Zhao Jia Min followed with five million.
She bid six million, Zhao Jia Min went up to seven million.
She bid eight million, Zhao Jia Min bid nine million.
The entire auction room was abuzz with their intense rivalry, making them the center of attention.
Everyone noticed the tension between the two and enjoyed the spectacle.
The host looked towards Mu Yan with anticipation, hoping she’d bid ten million.
Zhao Jia Min had the sa thought. Just now, she lost ten million, so now she wanted Mu Yan to lose the sa amount.
Once she bid ten million, she’d do the sa and stop bidding.
However, Mu Yan had no intention of continuing to bid.
She looked at Zhao Jia Min and congratulated her again, "Mrs. Gao, congratulations on contributing to charity once more."
Zhao Jia Min’s eyes were almost bulging out with anger, glaring at Mu Yan. The little wretch, who dared to mock her.
Onstage, the host happily announced Zhao Jia Min’s acquisition of the necklace.
The people around seed oblivious to Zhao Jia Min’s unsightly expression and continued with their congratulations.
"Mrs. Gao, you’re certainly making big moves today."
"Indeed, Jia Min, your spending is truly lavish."
"That’s right, Jia Min is the Zhao family’s daughter and the wife of Yuanfeng Group’s chairman. Money is no issue for her."
...
Zhao Jia Min clearly felt the underlying mockery in their words, implying she was foolish.
Unfortunately, what’s done is done. She wished she could tear Mu Yan apart.
To maintain her composure as Mrs. Gao, she had to swallow her anger and stay there.
It’s just twenty million anyway; Zhao Jia Min was certainly capable of covering it.
By chance, Mu Yan’s gaze swept across Zhao Jia Min.
Their eyes t, and she nodded slightly at Zhao Jia Min, as if to say, "Go on," full of provocation!
