435 Taking Back Some Dignity (1/2)

”Mo Wen, you poor lad, what right do you have to quote a price so frivolously? Be careful, as if you can't afford it, the security team will expel you from the ship.” Jiang Siyin laughed coldly and warned him.

His words were meant to remind Yang Ting that the poor lad, Mo Wen, would not possibly be able to fork out so much money. Hence, he was clearly just causing trouble.

Similar things had happened in previous auctions, where people had quoted prices too frivolously and were unable to pay the price. This really messed up the flow of the auction.

Because such things had happened before, those upper-tiered auctions would normally require participants to be of a certain status. This usually kept the riffraff out, thus allowing things to run smoothly.

If Mo Wen were to stir up trouble in these higher-tiered auctions, the consequence would be a cash penalty. However, Yang Ting would also lose the chance to bid for the ancient artwork by Da Vinci. Such an act on Mo Wen's part would cause her chance to bid to be forfeited, thus allowing the ancient artwork to naturally go to someone else.

”You are such a scheming lad!” After Jiang Siyin's warning, Yang Ting had now noticed how unusual Mo Wen was.

His expression had turned awry all of a sudden. If Mo Wen insisted on causing trouble, it would be impossible for her to successfully bid for the ancient artwork that she so desired. When faced with such an unreasonable person, she did not how to respond.

”Mo Wen, don't you know how to behave?” Yang Ting looked at Mo Wen coldly.

”Miss Yang, please do not think so highly of yourself. Please watch your words and actions. In this auction, everyone is on equal ground. So, are you going to place your bid or not?” A mocking smile formed on Mo Wen's face as he looked at Yang Ting.

”You're such a rascal.” Yang Ting was so angry, her entire face turned red.

She knew that even if she continued bidding, Mo Wen would also continue to up his bid. As he had already set his mind on beating her bid, it would be impossible for her to ever succeed in winning the bid.

”Mo Wen, man up. If you use such low-handed methods, do you think that you are worthy of Shen Jing? If I were you, I would not even have the audacity to continue dating her. I don't believe that Shen Jing would like such a petty person!” Jiang Siyin smiled and said. He did miss any opportunity to sow discord between the couple.

”He's a real rascal,” Yang Ting said coldly.

”The two of you, shut your mouths! Yang Ting, Mo Wen has already offered 60 million USD. Are your still going to continue bidding?” Shen Jing looked coldly at Yang Ting. Her normally calm character now had a trace of fierceness within it.

Jiang Siyin and Yang Ting were both a little stunned by her change in demeanor. They knew Shen Jing's character to be very gentle, and she rarely quarreled about things. This was the first time they had observed her being at odds with others.

Jiang Siyin's expression immediately became very dark. There was jealousy in his eyes, as he saw that Shen Jing had become this way in defense of Mo Wen.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

”Shen Jing, think about it clearly. It's 60 million USD. If you actually manage to bid on that piece of art and win it at that price, I'm afraid you'd probably be on the brink of bankruptcy.” Mo Wen inhaled deeply and looked at Shen Jing.

Shen Jing's previous words meant that she would also be in the competition. With Shen Jing's personality, she would not go back on whatever she promised. With Yang Ting's understanding of Shen Jing, forking out so much at once would place her at risk of bankruptcy!

”So, are you bidding or not? If you drag this out, I'm afraid you will lose the opportunity,” Shen Jing said calmly, repeating Mo Wen's previous words to Yang Ting once again.

Yang Ting's face had turned exceptionally dark by now. Her hand was even trembling slightly. If Shen Jing went all out, Yang Ting would have to pay too high a price in order to win.

Jiang Siyin's face was also dark. He knew that there was no use in saying anything else at this point. After all, there was absolutely no need for him to attempt to sow discord between Mo Wen and Shen Jing at this point, as it would clearly be of no use.

He did not understand why Shen Jing would be so attracted to a guy as powerless as Mo Wen. Meanwhile, he had wealth and power! After all, he had carved out a lot for himself at such a young age. Yet, she remained uncaring about him, only having eyes for Mo Wen.

Yang Ting's expression was indecipherable as she struggled internally for a moment. Finally, she was still unable to resign herself to her defeat. Shen Jing was clearly prepared to go all out in battling her.

However, she did not dare to continue fighting it out. After all, if she was careless, it was very possible that she would have to pay a very high price!

Although she had resources and wealth at her disposal, as well as a strong support behind her, all of that wealth did not actually belong to her. She could move the cash around and invest in assets, but she could not spend lavishly without limits. If she spent too much on meaningless things, she would have to answer to her family.

The moment she exceeded their agreed-upon limit, it would be very possible for her family to strip her of her status and power. On the other hand, Shen Jing was different, as all of her money belonged to her. As such, nobody would criticize her for how she spent it.

Finally, realizing that it was really not worth risking over a mere spat, Yang Ting kept quiet for the time being. She focused all of her attentions on continuously consoling herself internally.

”Shen Jing, don't be too cocky. After all, it is 60 million USD! Once you have bought that art, you will be a pauper! I'm afraid you then have no other choice but to sell off your shares of Pu Yuan Pharmaceuticals just to clear your debt. By then, the gap between you and I would only have grown even bigger! Just for a mere spat, you will have forked out such a high price. You are really childish!” Yang Ting laughed coldly.

She was clearly trying to make herself feel better by launching verbal attacks at Shen Jing. Perhaps only then could she alleviate the pressure she felt, or even assuage her sense of inferiority.

Finley, who was sitting behind them, was looking at Yang Ting in disdain. She clearly saw Yang Ting as a troublemaker, as she was obviously mocking Miss Shen Jing just now.

Finley also did not appreciate the arrogance that Yang Ting displayed, especially when she was implying that she was more well off than everyone else. It was as though she was out to shame her so-called friend!

Now that she had lost the auction, she did not even seem to feel a bit of shame. Instead, she was still finding excuses for herself. Plus, her remarks were disparaging and derogatory! Finley quickly decided that she had never seen such an evil woman before in her life!

”Shen Jing, I'll say the same thing once more. If you agree to marry me, I will immediately fork over the money to buy that piece of art,” Jiang Siyin said, still unable to take no for an answer.
