Chapter 503: Chapter 499 Auction (Second Update, Please Subscribe)

Xia Jinsheng had already made up his mind; he must let Su Wanyi know his true strength.

He also wanted Su Wanyi to know that he was the most capable man, while Ye Chen was nothing but a pauper.

Elder Lu smiled and took out a delicately packaged small box.

”This is called the Ten Thousand Treasures Glazed Jade, said to be a bracelet worn by the Empress of the Qing Dynasty. I acquired it from the Brown Auction House in Rui Country.”

As the box opened, a bracelet appeared before everyone.

Oh my, it’s actually a bracelet worn by the Empress—this is a peerless authentic piece.

Seeing the bracelet in Elder Lu’s hand, the eyes of these bigwigs all shone brightly.

Not to mention the clarity of the jade bracelet, just the fact that the Empress had worn it gives it an unparalleled nobility.

”Wow, such a rare treasure up for auction—the museum owner really went all out for charity.”

”Right, this is awesome. This bracelet is far more precious than those luxury goods.”

Elder Lu continued, ”This bracelet is said to have been a tribute from the Western Regions, known as the clearest jade in the world. The entire bracelet is like clear water; it’s a once-in-a-lifetime treasure.”

”Back then, the Empress Dowager Xiao was very fond of this bracelet, later gifting it to Su Ma, and thereafter it was lost to the public...”

After listening to Elder Lu’s introduction, these tycoons were all raring to go.

Royal family treasures have always been a favorite collectible among auction-goers.

What’s more, it was something beloved by the famous Empress Dowager Xiao—in their eyes, this bracelet represents royal nobility.

Su Wanyi also liked the bracelet very much, her gaze fixated on it.

Yet, although she liked it, she didn’t speak.

However, Bi Tingting, beside Xia Jinsheng, was different.

She clung to Xia Jinsheng’s arm, saying coyly, ”Dear, you must get me this bracelet, I really like it.”

At this moment, Xia Jinsheng was not thinking about Bi Tingting at all, but about Su Wanyi.

He thought if he won this bracelet and gifted it to Su Wanyi, she would surely see him in a new light.

Definitely, such a valuable treasure—once I win it and give it to Su Wanyi, she’ll surely leave that broke DiDi Brother and come to me.

The more Xia Jinsheng thought about it, the more excited he became, eager and restless.

Su Wanyi truly did like this bracelet.

Especially since she had treasured jade ever since she was young and had seen this bracelet in ancient books.

At that time, she had thought how wonderful it would be if she had such a bracelet.

She never expected that this bracelet would appear right before her eyes—it was impossible not to be moved.

However, although Su Wanyi liked it, after just a few glances, she ceased to pay attention.

”Why aren’t you interested in this beautiful jade bracelet that you usually love so much?”

Su Wanyi nodded, ”Indeed, I’m not interested.”

Ye Chen certainly knew Su Wanyi said so to stop him from spending money.

Must admit, Su Wanyi is truly an exceptionally good girl.

Smart, capable, and considerate.

Elder Lu looked at the crowd and said, ”The starting bid for this bracelet is 10 million.”

As the auction just began, the bracelet’s price surged rapidly.

”11 million.”

”15 million.”

”20 million.”

The price halted at 20 million.

But Elder Lu was not very satisfied with this price.

Originally, he had spent 18 million to acquire this bracelet from abroad.

million—if sold, it would truly pain him.

After all, this treasure holds significant historical value.

”20 million once.” Elder Lu began the countdown.

”20 million twice.”

At this time, a rich man watched Elder Lu eagerly, waiting for the final decision.

”Wait, I’ll bid 30 million.” Xia Jinsheng stood up proudly.

Hearing the 30 million price caused an uproar at the scene.

Truly astonishing, offering 30 million in one go.

Seeing Xia Jinsheng’s determined expression, the elites at the scene also gasped in awe.

It seems this young man is quite the tycoon himself.

Xia Jinsheng, full of pride: ”I must have this bracelet, so please do me a favor, everyone.”

million has already exceeded the actual value of this bracelet.

The item is good, but those present are all businessmen; they naturally won’t make a loss-making deal.

Xia Jinsheng’s gaze turned to Ye Chen, arrogantly saying, ”Kid, see this? Now you know what a rich man’s world is like. If you have what it takes, bid against me.”

Ye Chen smiled faintly, ”Usually minor characters appear first, while the protagonist only shows his true aura at the end.”

Xia Jinsheng, intending to show off, was instead ridiculed by Ye Chen.

”You poor bastard—30 million? You won’t earn that in several lifetimes. If you have guts, bid against me. You only run your mouth, what abilities do you have? I despise guys like you who have no money yet pretend.” Next to him, Bi Tingting also taunted.

Ye Chen heard this, smiled lightly, ”50 million.”

A hush fell over the scene; no one expected Ye Chen to be so bold, directly raising the bracelet’s price by 20 million.

Xia Jinsheng was momentarily stunned.

But then a spiteful expression appeared on his face.

”Wait a minute, I don’t think he has this much money to buy the bracelet; this kid is obviously here to stir trouble.”

million—a DiDi Brother would earn at most a few thousand a month, running day and night.

How could he possibly buy a 50-million bracelet?

Ye Chen heard this, smiled lightly, and casually tossed a black-gold bank card to the staff.

”If you don’t believe, you can verify.”

After checking the balance, the staff said, ”Mr. Ye’s card has sufficient funds; he can fully afford this bracelet.”

The crowd was astonished again.

Oh my, this DiDi Brother is actually this wealthy?

Xia Jinsheng’s expression was very unsightly, glaring fiercely at Bi Tingting beside him.

If it weren’t for this dumb woman mocking Ye Chen, the bracelet would have been his with 30 million.

Ye Chen looked at Xia Jinsheng and smirked, ”What, giving up so soon? Just now, you seemed so impressive; I thought you were wealthy, but turns out it’s nothing special.”

Being mocked by Ye Chen, Xia Jinsheng’s face turned livid.

He gritted his teeth, taking a deep breath.

No, he absolutely couldn’t lose to this guy.

”60 million.”

Xia Jinsheng directly raised the price by 10 million.

Ye Chen remained very calm, ”70 million.”

Xia Jinsheng, infuriated, gritted his teeth, ”80 million.”

”90 million,” Ye Chen continued to raise the bid.

Although Xia Jinsheng wanted to continue, 90 million for a bracelet was truly not worth it.

”90 million for a lousy bracelet—there’s something wrong with you; I’ll let you have it.”

The elites at the scene sneered.

Losing yet still pretending to be cool.

However, his pretentiousness lacked effect, making Xia Jinsheng appear even more pathetic.

Elder Lu, smiling broadly: ”Congratulations to Mr. Ye for winning the bracelet. Mr. Ye, would you like to say a few words?”

Ye Chen took the bracelet and stood on the stage, but his gaze was fixed on Su Wanyi.
