BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1365 Her Prank
At this moment, Qiao Xi also elegantly raised her placard, and the atmosphere instantly became subtle.
Everyone present knew that Guan Hui and Mrs. Gu had a conflict just now. Miss Guan had just bid for it, and Mrs. followed. She was clearly doing it on purpose!
It was just a violin. If it was auctioned outside, it would at most cost 500,000 yuan. The price Huo Yuzhou offered just now was probably because he thought that once this price was raised, no one would compete anymore. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Gu appeared out of nowhere.
Who would win this violin in the end? Everyone\'s gazes shifted between the two parties.
When Guan Hui saw Qiao Xi raise the placard, her entire face darkened. She wheedled unwillingly. "Yuzhou…"
"Continue," Huo Yuzhou said, and Guan Hui gained the confidence to immediately raise her placard. Qiao Xi followed closely behind and increased the price.
Huo Yuzhou frowned. Even if Qiao Xi wanted this violin, he had to be the one giving it to her. What right did the man beside her have to pay for it?
At the thought of this, he instructed Guan Hui to raise the price without hesitation. Soon, the price soared to five million.
Qiao Xi could not help but sneer. "Five million? Heh! Mr. Huo, you\'re really willing to spend money!"
Actually, she did not want this violin. She had just heard from Guan Hui that she had once played this violin, so Qiao Xi deliberately raised the price to tease Guan Hui.
Guan Hui should know very well who this violin originally belonged to. Guan Hui just wanted to show her status in Huo Yuzhou\'s heart, so she said in public that she had once played this violin.
At that time, Huo Yuzhou\'s fire caused her grandfather to lose a few priceless medical books. This time, she only made Huo Yuzhou lose a few million yuan. She had done her best.
Qiao Xi did not intend to continue competing for this violin and had no intention of raising the price. Huo Yuzhou\'s gaze landed on her, and the feeling in his heart was slightly complicated.
Could it be that Xi Xi did not like this violin? If she did not like it, it would be meaningless for him to bid for it.
Just as the auctioneer was about to hit the gavel, a cold voice spread throughout the entire hall. "Six million!"
"Ah Zheng!" Qiao Xi frowned.
Gu Zheng\'s eyes were clear as he smiled gently. "What\'s wrong?"
Qiao Xi deliberately raised the price for the sake of pulling a prank. She did not really want this violin. She originally thought that the matter would end here, but she did not expect Gu Zheng to continue raising the price. She said helplessly, "I already said that I don\'t want this violin. Moreover, this violin is worth 500,000 yuan at most. Why waste money on it?"
"I didn\'t say I wanted to buy it."
Qiao Xi: "…"
Gu Zheng raised his glass and took a sip of red wine. His thin lips were dyed red as he chuckled. "I did raise the price, but that doesn\'t mean I have to buy it."
Not long after, the price of this violin soared to ten million. Everyone was shocked. Even if these two big shots did not lack money, they could not squander it like this!
After Gu Zheng offered ten million, Huo Yuzhou\'s assistant looked troubled. "Sir, the auction price for this violin is only 500,000 yuan. It\'s already increased to ten million. Why don\'t we forget about it?"
Huo Yuzhou ignored him and looked at Guan Hui. The smile in his eyes was cold. "Do you think we should increase the price?"
Guan Hui suddenly became nervous. "Y-Yuzhou, I think that… although this violin isn\'t worth this price, we haven\'t bid for anything in this auction. If others realize this, they\'ll inevitably gossip. Moreover, ten million is nothing to you. Let\'s continue raising the price.
"W-What do you think?" Guan Hui asked uneasily, but her eyes were filled with anticipation. She hoped that Huo Yuzhou could continue bidding. She did not care if the violin was worth the price or not. As long as Huo Yuzhou bid for it and gave it to her, everyone would know that she was the woman Huo Yuzhou cared about. No one would laugh at her anymore.
The assistant had been with Huo Yuzhou for many years. Of course, he could tell what Guan Hui was thinking. In the end, she was still too stupid to think about what she could not get.
The smile on Huo Yuzhou\'s face grew wider and wider, but the smile did not reach his eyes. It looked hypocritical and scary.
"Since Lil Hui said to continue, then continue to increase the bid!" Huo Yuzhou gave the order, and the assistant could only raise his placard as instructed.
When Guan Hui saw this scene, she was so excited that her breathing almost stopped. She knew that Yuzhou had her in his heart. He knew that she liked this violin, so he would bid for it and give it to her no matter what.
Many years ago, she had seen Qiao Xi play this violin. The sound was beautiful. At that time, Qiao Xi was so dazzling as she stood under the sunlight. From then on, she fell in love with this violin. Now that this violin was finally going to be hers, the man beside her would also belong to her.
