92 Scam You To Death! (1/2)
Tang Yuan shook his head and said arrogantly, ”It is indeed despicable! In fact, I truly brought money with me. If I did not have sufficient money, how would I dare to bid such a high price? This is not an ordinary auction but the Magnificent Jewel Hall itself! It is embarrassing that you can’t even distinguish such simple truth. If I were you I would have hanged myself. It is really disdainful knowing that your family actually entrusted you with so much money.”
As the whole farce played out, it seemed Meng Hai Zhou had won the bid by paying ten times the original amount to obtain the Jade Sea Coral. However, in the eyes of all those present, there was nothing but contempt for Meng Hai Zhou.
Buying an item worth 5 hundred thousand at a price of 5 million was simply too insane! Some even considered it fundamentally unethical.
Meng Hai Zhou did not receive the faintest sense of sympathy from the crowd. In the eyes of the third parties, the Jade Sea Coral was something that Tang Yuan was determined to acquire, therefore leading to the high starting bid of 1 million. This price far exceeded the value of the Jade Sea Coral and already hinted Tang Yuan’s strong desire for the ornament. However, the Li and Meng duo were obviously trying to make things difficult for the Tang Family by raising the price unnecessarily.
Unfortunately, Li Zhen and Meng Hai Zhou did not expect the other party to give in so easily. In the end, they bidded too aggressively, forcing Tang Yuan to withdraw from the bidding war and causing them to pay a hefty price for a mere decorative item. Meng Hai Zhou was simply shooting himself in his the leg! At least this was what the truth appeared to be in the eyes of the observers.
These malicious people deserve to get their retribution!
The crowd was instead sympathizing with Tang Yuan, ”Poor kid, you are too young and naive. If you had bid on this item slowly and carefully, you might just be able to obtain it! There is no rush in bidding so aggressively and revealing your intentions so early.”
The expressions on Li Zhen and Meng Hai Zhou were unexpectedly similar to Tang Yuan’s, one which relished in others’ predicament! ”Don’t ever try your dirty tricks again! How does it feel to slap yourself in the face? Serve you right!”
Tang Yuan seemed to portray a victimised look on the exterior but internally, he was extremely delighted. Seeing the look of defeat and despair on Li Zhen and Meng Hai Zhou, Tang Yuan felt extremely relieved! Not only did he vent his frustration, he also managed to deliver an all-out revenge on his rivals! Nothing felt better, more exciting, and more fulfilling than this!
At this point in time, a servant of the Magnificent Jewel Hall walked over to the Meng Family’s box, carrying the Jade Sea Coral in a tray. The red silk cloth was cupped delicately over it. Li Zhen and Meng Hai Zhou bit their lips. Their hearts were so hurt that they seemed to be bleeding. Nevertheless, they forced a smile to conceal their emotions.
It would have been normal if these two had remained dejected. What caught Jun Mo Xie’s attention was the fact that Li Zhen and Meng Hai Zhou appeared relieved despite the terrible loss they suffered. Jun Mo Xie, who originally had no knowledge of the origins and mysteries behind the Jade Sea Coral, suddenly grew curious and suspicious towards it.
”This item seems to be exceptionally useful to them and it appears that they wanted it all costs. Hmmm...Whatever benefits the enemy must certainly be disadvantageous to us! This is bad, I must destroy this piece of jade!” No matter what its uses were, Jun Mo Xie would only feel at ease only if the Jade Sea Coral was rendered useless.
”Wow! So this is the Jade Sea Coral that is worthed 5 million? True enough, it is as rare as an immortal’s fart!” Jun Mo Xie mocked as he watched Li Zhen carefully receiving the Jade Sea Coral. At the same time, Jun Mo Xie whistled softly and nudged Tang Yuan gently.
Tang Yuan took the cue and instantly put on a pitiful look. Looking at the Jade Sea Coral, he whimpered sadly, ”Jun Mo Xie, what now? Grandfather had ordered me to bring back the Jade Sea Coral at all costs. But now…Oh, brother, I am doomed!”
These words were deliberately meant for Li Zhen and Meng Hai Zhou. Upon hearing this, their spirits lifted slightly. ”So this was indeed something Grandfather Tang needed. No wonder Tang Yuan was bidding so desperately for it!” With this in mind, both felt somewhat pleased with themselves.
They did not expect their bidding to bring such great repercussions to Grandfather Tang! They felt really good!
Jun Mo Xie curled his lips and asked arrogantly, ”Isn’t that just a piece of Jade Sea Coral? Why do you all have to get so flustered over it? I have a couple of such jade ornaments at home myself, it is nothing rare to me!”
