“7.6 million!

Yang Luo raised his card again.

“Eight million!”

Qiao Yongjie also raised his sign.

At this moment, everyone present finally reacted.

Looks like Young Master Qiao is competing with this kid!”

Therefore, everyone did not get involved and planned to watch the show.

Yang Luo frowned and raised his card again. “Nine million!”

“Ten million!

Qiao Yongjie also raised his sign.

“Fifteen million!

Just as Yang Luo was about to raise his sign, Su Wanqiu raised her sign first.

She was very grateful that Yang Luo had cured her myocarditis.

Now that Yang Luo had finally taken a fancy to something, to think that out came a Qiao Yongjie to cause trouble. This made her very unhappy.

Seeing that Su Wanqiu was actually helping Yang Luo bid, Qiao Yongjie was so angry that his chest heaved.

He gritted his teeth and raised the sign. He shouted angrily, “20 million!”

The event location was instantly sent into an uproar!

Although this Dragon-Patterned Jade Annulus was not bad, 20 million yuan had already exceeded its original value!

Just as Su Wanqiu was about to continue bidding, Yang Luo pressed down on the sign in her hand and said, “Forget it. This jade piece is not worth so much money.”

Su Wanqiu turned to him with a quizzical look, “But don’t you like it?”

Yang Luo shrugged and said, “I like it, but I didn’t say that I have to get it no matter what.

Let’s take a look at the others. There should be something I like.”

“Fine.”

Su Wanqiu nodded and did not continue bidding.

The female auctioneer glanced at everyone. Seeing that no one was raising the price, she shouted, “20 million going once! 20 million going twice! 20 million going thrice!” Get your favorite novels at novelhall.com

Peng!

The hammer fell!

“Congratulations, Young Master Qiao, for winning the West Han Dragon-Patterned Jade Annulus for 20 million!”

A female attendant walked up to Qiao Yongjie with a card reader.

Qiao Yongjie took out a bank card and swiped it coolly.

After that, the second item was brought up.

The female auctioneer lifted the red cloth and revealed a painting on the tray.

The two auctioneers opened the scroll and presented it to everyone.

This was an ink painting. With a few strokes, it perfectly outlined the drizzling rain, the green bamboo, the birds, and the rocks.

Yang Luo smiled evilly and said, “Who said we have to swallow our anger? Since this Young Master Qiao wants to play, let’s play with him slowly.”

“What do you mean?”

Su Wanqiu looked puzzled. She did not know what Yang Luo was up to.

Yang Luo chuckled and said, “Just wait and see.”

“Are there any more bids?”

At this moment, the female auctioneer asked loudly.

Everyone present had stopped bidding.

After all, many people present knew antique calligraphy and paintings. They knew that this painting was not worth 50 million.

Seeing that no one else was bidding, the female auctioneer began to hammer. “50 million going once! 50 million going twice! 50 million going thrice!”

Peng!

The hammer fell!

“Congratulations to Young Master Qiao for obtaining another treasure and getting the ‘Rain Bamboo Painting’!”

The female attendant with the PCS machine walked towards Qiao Yongjie again.

After Qiao Yongjie swiped his card, he looked at Yang Luo and said loudly, “I advise some people to get lost quickly!

Since you don’t have money, don’t participate in the auction!

Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can participate in such a high-end place!”

Hearing Qiao Yongjie’s words, everyone present naturally knew who he was talking about.

However, they did not say anything and just watched the show.

Yang Luo didn’t have any reaction. He really didn’t want to bother with such a brainless young master.

Soon, the auction continued.

In the following period of time...

Yang Luo would bid from time to time.

Every time Yang Luo called out a price, Qiao Yongjie would jump out and bid for the item at a higher price.

Gradually, Su Wanqiu also realized that Yang Luo had done this on purpose. His goal was to make Qiao Yongjie a sucker and bid for those items at a price several times higher than the auction items.

Wasn’t this just teasing a fool?

After an unknown period of time...

The attendant brought over another item.

When the female auctioneer lifted the red cloth, there was a mahogany box on the tray.

The moment the mahogany box was opened, everyone present immediately booed.

Inside the box was a purple branch that was half the length of an arm. It looked crooked and withered.

Therefore, in everyone’s eyes, it was just a broken tree branch. Other than the color being purple, there was no other difference.

“What is this? It can actually be auctioned?”

“I say, is your Yunshang clubhouse crazy about money? You want to sell a broken tree branch?”

“Hurry up and change the item. Don’t let this lousy thing ruin the reputation of your Yunshang clubhouse!”

Everyone expressed their dissatisfaction.

However, when Yang Luo saw this “broken tree branch”, his pupils constricted slightly and he immediately became excited!
