Chapter 279 What if they kick me out?
Of all the items auctioned today, the handwritten medical book was actually the least sought-after.
After all, most bosses wouldn't use this, but it has some value because it's an ancient book.
Song Nanxi and Yu Jing sat in the third-to-last row.
As luck would have it, Chu Anhui and Tai Qihang were sitting right next to them.
Chu Anhui was standing next to Yu Jing.
The dazzling array of items were snapped up like water, from porcelain to jewelry, making Song Nanxi almost yawn.
"Don't see anything you like? I'll take a picture and you can play with it?"
Yu Jing casually draped his long arm over the back of Song Nanxi's chair, and from the front, it looked as if he was encircling Song Nanxi without any regard for others.
He also leaned towards Song Nanxi, and anyone who didn't know better would think he disliked Chu Anhui sitting next to him.
—And that is indeed the case.
“If you’re interested, you can move all the auction items to my treasure vault. I wouldn’t mind.” Song Nanxi glanced at him sideways.
"OK--"
Yu Jing chuckled softly. After another item was brought up and the auctioneer finished his introduction, he casually raised his paddle.
"How about I light a sky lantern for you today?"
"Buyer number 7 has offered 500 million. Are there any bids higher?"
"Seller number 11 offered 800 million..."
Yu Jing was about to raise his sign again when Song Nanxi grabbed his wrist.
"What?" Yu Jing tilted his head. The gilded chandelier on the dome of the auction hall shone brightly, outlining his handsome features. "Don't you like this? You can take it back and display it for fun."
"I suggest you transfer the money directly to my account."
Song Nanxi looked at the stage, where a glass lamp reflected mesmerizing colors under the light.
Unfortunately, it was repaired after it cracked.
Yu Jing smiled gently, his affectionate peach blossom eyes blinking lightly, openly seducing her, "I understand, Nanxi is worried about my money, but don't worry, as your man, I still have the means."
His face drew closer and closer, and Song Nanxi silently pressed his handsome face against hers and pushed him away without any politeness.
"Being delusional is a disease. Come see me tonight, and I'll cure you."
Therefore, please stop the peacock display now.
Yu Jing revealed a triumphant smile, "Then it's a deal."
As Chu Anhui listened to Yu Jing's sweet words, which seemed to come out of nowhere, one after another, her lips pressed into a straight line, and she couldn't even keep up her usual gentle and tender mask.
Was Yu Jing really this humble when he was with Song Nanxi?
He, the heir to the prestigious Yu family, a powerful tycoon with a strong national background and a legitimate business empire, seemed utterly worthless in front of Song Nanxi.
Even when they meet, Song Nanxi has to nod.
This is so different from the humble and ingratiating image that Chu An Hui had imagined Song Nan Xi to have!
Tai Qihang flipped through the auction catalog and said to Chu Anhui, "Anhui, this copy of 'Tai Su Mai Jue' will be arriving soon..."
He turned his head with great interest, but perhaps because the light was too bright, Chu An Hui's expressionless, even somewhat gloomy, appearance startled him.
Tai Qihang blinked.
Chu Anhui smiled gently at him, "I know, thank you for reminding me. By the way, didn't you also want to photograph a painting?"
"Yes! My grandma's birthday is coming soon. The painting of pine and crane symbolizing longevity is the grand finale this time. It has a good meaning, and my grandma likes the painter. My mom specifically told me to make sure to take a picture of it."
"Okay, I'll keep an eye out for you."
Tai Qihang breathed a sigh of relief, watching Chu Anhui speak softly to him, thinking that he must have been mistaken! How could Sister Anhui possibly have such a terrifying expression?
"Lot No. 13, a handwritten copy of the Tai Su Mai Jue, starting price: 10."
So this is the book—
Song Nanxi immediately lost interest, as she had already read the contents.
The name sounds impressive, but there's very little actual content that can be learned from it, and because it's incomplete, the content is completely disjointed.
Chu Anhui then turned to her and smiled gently, "Miss Song, let's compete fairly."
She was determined to get her hands on this medical book!
A voice in my mind said, "Although this medical book is incomplete, you can spend points to complete it once you obtain it."
Chu Anhui smiled and said, "I understand, thank you."
"system."
Song Nanxi raised an eyebrow, toying with the bidding paddle in her hand.
Yu Jing narrowed his eyes, a cold smile playing on his lips. Did the person who dared to provoke him to his face think he was dead?
He immediately raised his paddle, "100 million."
Tai Qihang frowned. "Brother Yu, you won't have any use for this book if you take it back. Do you really want to take it from me?"
Yu Jing said lazily, "I'll buy it and tear it up for fun, do you have a problem with that?" His eyes flashed, and his sharp gaze made Tai Qihang tremble. "Or is it that the Tai family has declined and can't even afford this little bit of money?"
“You—” Tai Qihang gritted his teeth, “Fine! Brother Yu, let’s see who has the best skills! Anyway, I’m definitely going to bid on this handwritten copy!”
He directly raised the price.
"150 million!"
"Tch... Why did the Tai family send a child?"
Yu Jing crossed his legs and raised the sign again.
"Okay! Buyer number 7 has offered 500 million!"
There was a slight commotion at the scene, and everyone couldn't help but look curiously towards their corner.
A handwritten copy that most people wouldn't be interested in, yet its price rivals that of rare collectors.
Is a fight about to break out?
Tai Qihang's face turned red with anger, especially Yu Jing's contemptuous attitude, which made him feel that he had lost face in front of Chu Anhui.
Is Yu Jing the only one who would raise the price? He can too!
"800 million! Okay, is there anyone offering higher? 800 million once... 800 million twice..."
"Wow! Buyer number 7 has offered 1000 million!"
Tai Qihang gritted his teeth; Yu Jing had truly gone mad!
Chu Anhui frowned and softly advised Tai Qihang, "Xiao Hang, how about we forget it... it's too expensive..."
"no!"
Tai Qihang bid again.
“I know Sister An Hui needs this book, and I want to give it to you.”
"1200 million!"
"1500 million!"
Tai Qihang was sweating profusely by the end; his budget was running out...
"1600 million!"
Yu Jing raised an eyebrow, his smile remaining calm and composed, as if he were sitting on a fishing platform.
"1650."
what? !
Tai Qihang was pleasantly surprised and couldn't help but turn his head to take a look.
With such a small price increase, did Yu Jing give up?
Perhaps if he were to pay an additional 50, he could obtain the handwritten copy?
"1700 million!" he announced.
"1900."
However, Yu Jing's value suddenly surged by two million.
He raised an eyebrow, his smile wicked. "Kid, I was just teasing you. This isn't just about proving your wealth; it's also about whether you'll lose face in front of your girlfriend—I can't afford to lose face if I lose."
As he spoke, he lowered his long eyelashes, looking pitiful: "What if my darling thinks I'm useless and kicks me to the curb?"
