Chapter 303: Sky-high Price Of 300 Million

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Yao could not sit still anymore.

Earlier, didn’t Qiao Xi say that she was not interested? Now, the bid had increased to 200 million.

Yao Mengqing curled the corners of her lips. She was sure that Qiao Xi had gone mad. In her eyes, money was just a number. She wanted to get this violin no matter what the price was!

Since that was the case, then she would increase the price one last time and push Qiao Xi to the edge of the abyss before she stopped.

At that time, if Qiao Xi said no, it would mean that she was disrespecting the charity auction. She would also be mocked by the entire upper-class society. She would not be able to raise her head in Li City.

If Qiao Xi was smart, she could only grit her teeth and endure it. She would have to obediently take out this enormous sum of money.

Seeing that the gavel was about to fall, Yao Mengqing raised her placard. “300 million!”

At this moment, everyone held their breaths as their gazes moved between Qiao Xi and Yao Mengqing.

Yao Mengqing also looked at Qiao Xi. She did not raise her placard but smiled meaningfully.

The venue was silent. The exclamation of ‘300 million’ was still reverberating in the hall.

The competition between Yao Mengqing and Qiao Xi was truly astounding.

Although both families were not short of money, it was really scary for them to raise the price to 300 million just for a violin.

Everyone felt that 300 million was not the end. According to Qiao Xi’s performance earlier, she would continue to increase the bid. Yao Mengqing thought so too.

The auctioneer even forgot to hit the gavel as he stared at Qiao Xi, waiting for her to raise the bid.

She remained silent and sat there quietly, ignoring the burning gazes of the crowd.

Everyone was anxious. Why was Miss Qiao not raising her placard?

Yao Mengqing’s heart thumped as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

She looked at Qiao Xi’s nonchalant appearance and felt very uneasy.

After a while, Qiao Xi still did not speak.

Yao Mengqi immediately reacted and questioned loudly, “Qiao Xi! You’re not bidding anymore?”

Everyone’s gaze landed on the Yao family again. Yao Mengqing’s face was pale, and her heart was beating furiously.

Qiao Xi calmly took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly, “Of course, I want it…”

Yao Mengqing’s expression eased up for a moment. She knew that Qiao Xi would continue to increase the bid. So long as Qiao Xi increased the bid, she would immediately give up and show a regretful expression.

However, Qiao Xi’s next words caused her hair to stand on end!

“But the price is too high. I… don’t have that kind of money.”

Qiao Xi seemed to be very regretful and sighed. “I already spent a lot of money earlier, so I can’t spend more than 300 million this time. I originally thought that I would get it at 200 million, but who knew that Miss Yao would raise it to 300 million?

“You must really want this violin, Miss Yao. I’ll give it to you, then.”

Yao Mengqing felt her mind buzz and she instantly went blank.

Her mind was filled with the words, ‘She’s not bidding for it anymore?’

If Qiao Xi really did not want to continue, then she had to fork out 300 million to buy this violin!

That was 300 million!

The Yao family was already in a precarious situation now. They could not fork out 300 million yuan at all. Even if they could, the Yao family would definitely suffer.

Yao Mengqing’s body trembled uncontrollably. Her eyes were empty.

Qiao Xi smiled indifferently. Yao Mengqing was still too inexperienced to play tricks with her.

Did she really think she was stupid and could not tell what Yao Mengqing was thinking?

This 300 million yuan blow on the Yao family would be enough to make Yao Mengqing stop bothering her for a period of time.

Everyone’s eyes were on the Yao family. Madam Yao also realized the seriousness of the matter.

No! They could not take this 300 million!

Madam Yao suddenly stood up. “No! I don’t—”

Before she could finish, Qiao Xi stood up and applauded loudly. “Miss Yao, you’re really a beautiful and kind person. In order to donate to the children, you didn’t hesitate to spend 300 million on a violin. It’s really touching! I’m really unable to compare to you in terms of magnanimity. Miss Yao, you’re the model among the daughters of rich families! I hope everyone can be as selfless as you, Miss Yao!”

She even kicked Gu Yao. “Hurry up and clap!”

Gu Yao quickly stood up and shouted, “You’re right! The Yao family is really a role model for the rich!”

With the Gu family taking the lead, the others also stood up and applauded as well.
