The Richest Billionaire is My Accidental Husband

Chapter 586: Chapter 586 The Youth is the Dark Horse_1

“One million!” Xia Yanyan raised her sign, breaking the pattern of auction increments of ten thousand. Ye Xingguang, who was about to bid five hundred and fifty thousand, swiftly put down her sign, surprised that Xia Yanyan also had her eyes on the Dragon and Phoenix Auspicious Grandmother’s Emerald Jade Pendant.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to compete with Xia Yanyan, but she understood Xia Yanyan’s temperament. If she entered in a bid war with her, Xia Yanyan would feel the need to compete, leading to escalated bids just to save her pride.

“One million and one hundred thousand.”

“One million and two hundred thousand!”

“One million and three hundred thousand!”

“One million and four hundred thousand!”

…

“Two million!” Xia Yanyan raised her sign again, breaking the pattern of hundred thousand increments.

Ye Xingguang handed the bidding sign to Xiao Mi Hu: “You start bidding, I want that Jade Pendant.”

Xiao Mi Hu said: “Why don’t you bid yourself?”

“I’m afraid I’ll trigger Xia Yanyan’s competitive spirit. If I step in, she won’t back down.”

Xiao Mi Hu asked quietly: “So what’s your limit?”

Ye Xingguang held up five fingers, saying, “No more than five million, I don’t want it if it’s over five million.”

“Oh, oh, oh. I too think that the Jade Pendant isn’t worth five million. I understand, wait for me to win it for you.” @@novelbin@@

Xiao Mi Hu held up the sign: “Two million and two hundred thousand!”

“Two million and five hundred thousand!”

“Three million!”

…

Unexpectedly, everyone participating in the auction was so affluent!

A few million might seem like a lot to Ye Xingguang, but for the luminaries of the entertainment and music industry, it was a paltry sum. They could afford it and were willing to pay, as long as they could curry favor with Madam Shen. The money was absolutely well spent!

“Ten million!” Xia Yanyan raised her sign for the third time, causing a ripple of surprise to run through the room.

A national treasure deserved to be treated as such; after all, it was both good looking and expensive. Xiao Mi Hu only managed to raise her sign once before losing hope.

She lowered her head, “Xingguang, should we keep bidding? I only bid once, yet Xia Yanyan has already hiked the price several times. Your limit was five million. Should we raise the bid?”

Before Ye Xingguang could respond, someone else had placed their bid.

“Twelve million!”

“Thirteen million!”

“Fifteen million!”

…

“Twenty million!” Xia Yanyan raised her sign for the fourth time.

Ye Xingguang, with her modest budget, replied, “Forget it. We’re not wealthy tycoons. Let’s just sit back and watch.”

Twenty million for a Grandmother’s Emerald Jade Pendant, has she gone mad? Grandma Shen would certainly mock her for being a fool if she were here. Forget it. Grandma Shen, you can buy your granddaughter’s engagement present yourself.

By comparison, if Grandma Shen were present, she wouldn’t have continued bidding either.

—”Thirty million!”

At that moment, bidder number thirty-five raised his sign.

Ye Xingguang instinctively turned to see who was so extravagant. She couldn’t understand the world of the wealthy; sure enough, her imagination was limited by poverty. Thirty million for a piece of Jade Pendant? She’d rather buy a mansion!

Xia Yanyan also turned to look at number thirty-five.

Number thirty-five was an unfamiliar face, not a celebrity from the entertainment or music industry or a famous businessman, but a normal high school-looking young man wearing school uniform. He had spent the previous time buried in his papers, solving math problems.

Now, he had finished his math problems and raised his sign.

Xia Yanyan raised an arrogant eyebrow: “Forty million!”

The young man: “Fifty million!”

Xia Yanyan: “Sixty million!”

The young man: “Seventy million!”

Suddenly, everyone else fell silent, with only Xia Yanyan frowning, about to raise her sign: “Eighty million!”
