A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) -
Chapter 1851
"The next item is Dalbergia Rosewood Antique Chair. Starting at six million!"
After the host's introduction, Ye Fan made another bid.
However, Meng Chuan, who had been watching from the sideline, finally made a daring move this time and challenged Ye Fan in a fierce bidding war.
"Ten million!"
"Fifteen million!"
"Twenty million!" Ye Fan shouted again.
Meng Chuan clenched his fist tightly and raised another ten million. "Thirty million!"
The old man who sat beside Meng Chuan immediately became anxious.
"Mr. Meng, don't forget the purpose of our trip.
"Patriarch Chu's life depends on you." "Be careful not to win the battle and lose the war." The old man kept persuading Meng Chuan to bid carefully to reserve some funds for the final bidding.
In the end, Meng Chuan didn't follow up after his thirty million bid, and Ye Fan won at a cosmic price of thirty-one million.
"Ye Fan, you are good for nothing!"
Ye Fan spent more than thirty million to win an item that cost six million. Junie, who had always been diligent and frugal, couldn't help but glare at him.
He's splurging as if it wasn't his money.
Then, another item was presented on the stage.
The starting bid was also around five million.
A few bidders raced and competed for the item at the beginning. However, it turned into another bidding war between Ye Fan and Meng Chuan in the end. "Forty-five million!" Meng Chuan shouted.
Ye Fan calmly raised his paddle. "Fifty million!"
Ye Fan looked calm whenever he bid. He would even look in Meng Chuan's direction with a provocative
look.
"Five..."
"Calm down, Mr. Meng!" Before Meng Chuan could increase the bid again, the old man next to him grabbed his hand and persuaded him.
A few minutes later, a similar scene played out again.
"Mr. Meng, focus on our priority!" The old man threw himself onto Meng Chuan to stop him from clearing the funds.
After clashing several times, all the items were won by Ye Fan. Meng Chuan was utterly defeated.
"Who the hell is this guy?"
"Even the wealth of the Meng family couldn't stop him."
"Could he be the wealthy man from Zhonghai?"
The venue was filled with discussion and chatter. Ye Fan's name in the auction house undoubtedly peaked.
"You are really good for nothing!"
"What are we going to live on after this?"
Junie got so angry that she couldn't stop scolding Ye Fan.
However, Ye Fan wasn't bothered. Everything was still under his control.
Although he won a series of items, the items auctioned at the beginning were not very valuable. The highest starting bid was only a few million. When tens of millions he bid against Meng Chuan only amounted to about one hundred million.
It was still within the scope of Ye Fan's spending power.
"Everyone, the next item is a pair of jade bangles, made with the most precious imperial jade by a famous jade craftsman in Western Epea." "The starting bid is fifty million!"
As the host announced the starting bid, several people in the venue who were hopeful at first suddenly shook their heads. The price was simply too high!
However, Ye Fan suddenly stood up. "Darling, I will buy thejade bangles foryou today, and I will put them on you at our wedding!"
Ye Fan looked at Junie passionately and said with a loud voice. His valiant words touched the hearts of countless people in the venue. "My god!"
"This must be the romance of the tycoons!"
"He's so cool!"
"I want to marry him too!"
The crowd went crazy, and many women looked at Ye Fan with eyes of admiration.
However, Junie was stunned.
What is he talking about?! am not your wife!
"Don't say a word. Just play along." Ye Fan winked at Junie.
Although Junie was puzzled, she played along with Ye Fan and continued with the charade. "Thank you, hubby. I'm so touched!" That was the first time she addressed someone as her husband. Although it was just an act, Junie's pretty face was flushed red. Fortunately, she had her mask on, so no one could recognize her.
"What an idiot!"
"He must be a gullible nouveau riche!"
When Meng Chuan witnessed the scene from the other corner, he didn't get angry. Instead, he laughed at Ye Fan.
In an auction, disclosure of one's intention was taboo.
One would often be taken advantage of and lose a significant amount of money in the process.
"Let's just wait and see."
"Isn't he rich? Let's see him buy these bangles for two hundred million." Meng Chuan gave out a cunning grin.
"Mr. Meng, you must be cautious. What if he's deliberately pretending?" the old man reminded.
"Don't worry. I will know if they're pretending." "Based on his previous bids, it's obvious that he's a nouveau riche. This must be his first auction and he's ignorant about the rules." "I will teach him a lesson today!"
Meng Chuan smirked.
Then, Meng Chuan immediately shouted, "One hundred million!"
What?
"A hundred million?"
"Mr. Meng is so generous!"
"One hundred million right off the bat?"
"It seems like the mysterious gentleman has met his match. It's not just him who wanted to win this pair of jade bangles. Even Mr. Meng wants them.
"I heard that Mr. Meng has been pursuing a beautiful lady recently. He must be planning to give this pair of imperial jade bangles to her.
"A fight between kings. I wonder who will have the last laugh?" The host livened up the crowd once again.
Da*n!
Ye Fan retaliated by bidding one hundred and fifty million.
"One hundred and fifty million!"
"One hundred and eighty million!"
The two sides clashed, and the price rose rapidly. The host was simply overjoyed.
Finally, Meng Chuan shouted, "Two hundred million!"
"What now, my friend? Do you still want to challenge me?
"It's nothing personal but I really wanted these imperial jade bangles."
Meng Chuan looked at Ye Fan and said in a proud manner.
"I'm not afraid. I am bloody loaded!" Ye Fan pretended to be angry. "What is two hundred million?
Even if it's three hundred million, I will still outbid you!"
Then, Ye Fan immediately raised his bid by fifty million.
"My god! Two hundred and fifty million! Is anyone going higher?"
"It seems that the winner tonight will be the mysterious man in the dragon mask."
"Quickly! Lighting crew! Shine the spotlight on the gentleman and get a close-up!"
The host's excited screams echoed throughout the audience.
Meng Chuan smiled proudly. "As expected. He's an idiot. He has been fooled so easily."
"That's enough, Mr. Meng. Two hundred and fifty million should be enough for him to learn his lesson. Let's focus and wait for our target auction item to appear."
The old man next to him smiled, secretly admiring his ingenuity.
"Don't worry. He seems to have a lot of money left. Let me provoke him again!"
Before this, Meng Chuan planned to raise the price to two hundred million. However, he's not satisfied yet.
Hence, he raised his paddle again and made a bid of three hundred million!
"You're indeed wealthy, my friend. However, compared to the jade bangles, love is priceless. I'm willing to splurge three hundred million to pursue the woman I love. I hope you can do me a favor and let me have these imperial jade bangles that symbolize love!"
Meng Chuan was very cunning.
He deliberately said that love is priceless just to provoke Ye Fan to bid against him to win the jade bangles for his wife.
Ha ha! Bid as much as you like, idiot. Although the bangles are precious, they are worth about one hundred million atbest. This time, I will make you lose more than two hundred million!
Meng Chuan sneered in his mind.
He was complacent, but it didn't last long. Ye Fan, who was extravagantly generous before, suddenly grinned at him. "Well said, Mr. Meng. I'll do you a favor and let you have the jade bangles for three hundred million!"
Boom!
Ye Fan's response hit Meng Chuan like a thunder bolt.
Meng Chuan was dumbfounded.
His proud demeanorthat he had disappeared in an instant.
He was stunned with his eyes wide open, with veins all over his eyeballs.
"What that hell did you say?"
