Chapter 1391 - Be My Empress (1/2)
The entire arena fell silent the moment Jun Xiqing appeared. All eyes were fixed upon her as if completely mesmerized. When she saw the response of the crowd, Lady Mei was very satisfied. “Ladies and gentlemen, we are going to start the auction now. The highest bidder will attain this beauty.”
The moment she finished her words, someone shouted, “I am offering a hundred million dollars.”
Jun Xiqing’s starting bid was a hundred million dollars.
The whole venue erupted in commotion.
“I am offering two hundred million.”
“One billion.”
“1.5 billion.”
One by one, the people in the crowd shouted out their bids. Fan Men said in a low voice, “Your Highness, it looks like these people are really putting up their entire family fortunes.”
By his side, Lu Yeming stood tall and erect by the carved railing, his hands tucked into his pockets. He had not called out a single bid.
Instead, he raised his brows slightly and looked toward Mu Yanfeng, who was on the opposite side.
Mu Yanfeng was here and he was at the private lounge on the opposite side. The two of them exchanged glances and sparks ignited between them.
The butler standing behind Mu Yanfeng raised a placard. “My Young Master is offering USD 5 billion.”
Holy christ. USD 5 billion.
Everyone gasped.
This number immediately threw all the competition out the window,
Everyone looked up. So it was Young Master Mu.
The Mu Family used to deal in illegal businesses and was particularly active in money laundering. Over the years, they managed to revamp themselves and became a noble family, to the point that even the president had to show them respect. As a result, the Mu Family had no lack of money.
“Alright, Young Master Mu is offering USD 5 billion. Does anyone wish to top that bid?” Lady Mei asked with a smile.
Lu Yeming gave a backward glance at Fan Men.
Fan Men quickly raised a placard. “His Highness is offering USD 5.1 billion.”
The entire arena was instantly electrified.
So Lu Yeming and Mu Yanfeng were officially facing off each other.
Mu Yanfeng’s butler once again raised his placard. “Young Master Mu is bidding USD 6 billion.”
Fan Men smiled. “His Highness already said that no matter what Young Master Mu offered, we would add a hundred million to it.”
Mu Yanfeng stood up and looked at Lu Yeming. “President Lu, are you really going to pit your entire family fortune against mine?”
Lowering his eyes, Lu Yeming’s gaze was only on Jun Xiqing’s little face. The corners of his lips curled up nonchalantly. “Young Master Mu, don’t covet my woman. She belongs to me.”
The crowd gasped. President Lu and Jun Xiqing were together?
Just as the atmosphere reached a peak, a soft murmur sounded out.
Lu Yeming’s ear twitched. That soft murmur was like an electric shock through his body.
Jun Xiqing had woken up.
“Sister Qingqing, are you awake?”
Lady Mei immediately helped Jun Xiqing sit up.
Jun Xiqing had been plied with alcohol by Lady Mei last night. She scanned her surroundings and instantly knew she was being auctioned off.
After shooting Lady Mei a glare, she stood up. As she wasn’t wearing any shoes, her fair little feet stepped onto the soft red carpet. Her floaty white dress trailed on the floor, her long black hair flowing behind. She stepped forward, the very picture of grace and elegance.
“Ms. Jun, President Lu, and Young Master Mu are competing against each other to attain you. Who will you choose?”
“That’s right Lady Mei, let Ms. Jun choose herself. Is she willing to go with President Lu and be an Empress, or will she choose to follow Young Master Mu and become a Madam.”
Lady Mei nodded. “Alright, Sister Qingqing, make your own choice.”
Let her choose?
Could she choose neither?
“Xiqing, come with me.” Mu Yanfeng called out.
Jun Xiqing was wearing a veil. She glanced up at Mu Yanfeng. Her heart was filled with gratitude for this Young Master Mu, whom she had only known for a short time.
At this moment, a low, malevolent voice sounded out. “Turn your face around. If you dare to look at him again, just wait and see how I will deal with you both.”
