Madam's Awakening Shocks The Whole World-Chapter 96 - 94: Does Miss Qin Have Anything to Auction?2
Chapter 96: Chapter 94: Does Miss Qin Have Anything to Auction?2
The Buddha Beads have been in my collection for over ten years. Elder Master Lin had kept them in his treasure vault all this time, never really doing much with them, not particularly fond of them either. Auctioning them off now would be timely and could also earn him a good reputation.
As for the so-called incredible powers touted by the auctioneer, that was all made up, intended solely to fetch a good auction price for the bead.
Everyone below the stage stared at such a tiny Buddha Bead. But what did it matter if the bead was an item of some high monk? They would rather spend three million on a necklace or jade than on some alleged incredible powers—who would believe that!
Qin Qin was pleased to see that basically no one was raising their paddle to bid for the bead. They were unaware of the bead’s true power—if they knew that the bead indeed possessed incredible abilities, that even one such bead could prolong life and rejuvenate the aged until its energy was depleted—they would have a different attitude toward it.
If they knew, who knows what would happen, but of course, she couldn’t say it out loud. This was something she had to get.
That Elder Master Lin would actually auction off such a treasure, if he knew its true worth, he would surely regret it immensely.
"Three hundred and fifty thousand," Qin Qin raised her bid paddle.
Jiang Qingtian, sitting beside her, looked at Qin Qin, "You like this item? It’s just a Buddha Bead, do you not want to bid on something else?"
To him, the bead looked ordinary, and he wondered why Qin Qin would be interested in something like that.
Mo Qianhui watched Qin Qin raise her paddle and couldn’t help but sneer. Even if that woman had money, wasn’t it still the ten million she had extorted from them?
Others of course didn’t know and thought that Qin Qin must be using the money of Jiang Qingtian who was sitting beside her.
Lao Wan dismissed her with a purse of her lips, "What’s there to be so proud of?"
A mischievous glint passed through Lao Wan’s eyes as she raised her paddle, "Four hundred thousand!"
After placing down the paddle, Lao Wan’s provocative gaze turned towards Qin Qin.
Qin Qin glanced at Lao Wan and a faint smile appeared on her lips, she seemed to not take it to heart.
"Four hundred and fifty thousand," Qin Qin raised her paddle again.
Lao Wan also provocatively raised her paddle, "Five hundred thousand."
Director Lao beside her gave his daughter a fierce glare, "You’re causing trouble. What’s this bead worth five hundred thousand for? Do you know what you’re doing?"
Lao Wan pursed her lips in grievance, "Dad, I just don’t like that woman!"
Director Lao, frustrated, grabbed his daughter to stop her from acting rashly.
Qin Qin didn’t look toward Lao Wan’s commotion but raised her paddle again, "Six hundred thousand."
Jiang Qingtian smiled at Qin Qin, "Okay, stop bidding. If you really like it, I’ll pay for it later."
Qin Qin glanced at Jiang Qingtian, and was about to speak, when a deep, sexy voice coolly interjected.
"Ten Million!"
The eyes of Qin Qin, Jiang Qingtian, and everyone else turned toward the source of the voice.
Mo Yunchen lifted the corners of his lips, his gaze fixed tightly on Qin Qin, a shadow passing through his eyes.
"Yunchen, why do you like that Buddha Bead?" Elder Master Lin asked with a smile, curious about Mo Yunchen who had been mostly inactive throughout the evening.
Mo Yunchen looked at Elder Master Lin, "I am not particularly fond of it, just looking to do a good deed, that’s all!"
How could he possibly allow someone else to bid for what she wanted, not even his own nephew.
"Uncle Mo! Could you please let me have the bead?" Jiang Qingtian approached Mo Yunchen and whispered, wishing he didn’t have to confront Mo Yunchen. Over the years, no matter how hard he tried, he could never amount to him. Whenever Mo Yunchen’s gaze fixed on him, he felt unbearable discomfort.
Mo Yunchen stood up, towering a good half a head over the tall Jiang Qingtian, making the latter take a small, suffocating step back.
Mo Qianhui’s expression darkened upon seeing this scene, as did Jiang Feng’s.
"Oh, let you have it?" Mo Yunchen looked past Jiang Qingtian at Qin Qin, who was sitting behind him, "You want to offer it to the beauty by your side!"
Jiang Qingtian cast a glance at Qin Qin behind him, his eyes softening, then resolutely said to Mo Yunchen, "Qin Qin likes those Buddha Beads. I hope Uncle Mo can let me have them." He knew that if Mo Yunchen wanted something, he would definitely get it, and Qin Qin would surely not be able to bid successfully, so he could only ask Mo Yunchen.
"Qingtian, what nonsense is this? Come back here!" Mo Qianhui called out to Jiang Qingtian with an angry face, growing increasingly resentful towards Qin Qin in her heart. If it were not for her, why would her son need to lower his voice to that man? What does he have that her son does not? Could her father be blind?
Jiang Qingtian ignored Mo Qianhui’s voice and once again asked Mo Yunchen, "Please, Uncle Mo, let me have it."
Mo Yunchen looked at Jiang Qingtian, who was hanging his head in front of him, and raised a mischievous, captivating smile, "I’m sorry, but I really like this bead and plan to take it back to my collection. Don’t blame your Uncle Mo for being unsympathetic."
Jiang Qingtian’s face turned ugly when he heard what Mo Yunchen said.
"Since Master Mo likes it, then I won’t compete for your affection," said Qin Qin, knowing that with her current financial ability, she could not compete with Mo Yunchen and thus had to give up.
Qin Qin said with a smile, but her eyes were filled with ice-cold contempt. This damn man was actually challenging her. Despite the fact she had saved him, he was ungratefully repaying her kindness with spite. Maybe she should just let him be poisoned to death.
And to add insult to injury, he nonsensically claimed to be her future man! It was infuriating.
As if sensing Qin Qin cursing him in her heart, Mo Yunchen stepped over Jiang Qingtian and walked towards Qin Qin.
Jiang Qingtian’s expression changed and he immediately stood in front of Qin Qin, tilting his head up and looking at Mo Yunchen with a somber gaze, "Uncle Mo, Qin Qin didn’t mean to offend you, please don’t hold it against her."
"Oh, you defend her like this? Are you boyfriend and girlfriend?" There was a hint of danger in Mo Yunchen’s voice, yet Jiang Qingtian, standing by, seemed oblivious.
Jiang Qingtian looked at Qin Qin tenderly, then said, "She is a very good friend of mine!"
"Just friends? You seem to be overly concerned about her matters!" Mo Yunchen’s eyes narrowed dangerously.
Jiang Qingtian felt a flicker of confusion. Why did he sense something off in Uncle Mo’s tone? He must be mistaken, Uncle Mo and Qin Qin hardly knew each other, how could it possibly be...
"Qin Qin has helped me a lot since she came to Jingdu City. Naturally, I will do my best to help her get what she wants."
Mo Yunchen’s lips curled into a smile, "Fine, if you bid ten million, I will let you have it."
Jiang Qingtian was elated and was about to nod in agreement.
Mo Qianhui’s face turned extremely ugly as she rose from her seat and walked up to pull Jiang Qingtian’s hand, "Stop being silly. That’s belonging to your Uncle Mo. Don’t get involved anymore."
How could she let her son spend ten million for Qin Qin to bid on a Buddha Bead? Impossible.
Mo Yunchen watched this scene and then turned to Qin Qin with a smirk.
With Mo Qianhui present, how could she possibly allow Jiang Qingtian to spend so much money.
