The Outcast Heiress's Secret Identities-Chapter 517 - 0507 Contend for supremacy

"If I had a fiancée as beautiful and talented as Miss Xinyan, let alone a few small items, I would spare no expense, even if it meant spending my whole fortune!"

"I heard the two of you are getting married, congratulations!"

Su Xinyan smiled bashfully, while Lin Siya, standing behind her, glanced at Su Ran not far away and said smugly:

"Xinyan, having a great man like President Gu by your side, you’re truly fortunate. What does a successful career matter? The most important thing is to have a man who loves and cherishes you. President Gu is not only handsome but also comes from a good family. Marrying him makes you the young madam of the Gu Family, living a life of luxury and without worry. So many people envy you."

"Exactly, no matter how successful your career is, it can’t compare to the ease of being a wealthy young madam, everything is ready without any struggle!"

"Some people just don’t have that fate, so they can only seek a sense of presence in their careers."

"That’s right, not everyone is destined to be a young madam of a wealthy family, only our Xinyan has that fate!"

Su Xinyan also glanced at Su Ran, smiling with a face full of coy pride, and said petulantly:

"You guys really, stop talking nonsense..."

Everyone laughed, "We’re telling the truth, how is this talking nonsense?"

"Xinyan is getting shy!"

The teasing from Lin Siya and the others made them chuckle softly, their laughter charming and attractive.

Their gazes occasionally drifted towards Su Ran, but to their annoyance, she didn’t even spare them an extra glance.

Calm and nonchalant, it was really infuriating!

Many people were unaware of the previous engagement between Gu Heng and Su Ran, but quite a few knew about it.

As one of those in the know, Mo Shangjie, was at that moment biting on a handkerchief he had no idea where he pulled from, looking ferocious as if he wanted to bite someone to death. freёweɓnovel_com

"Damn it, so shameless, utterly shameless! Su Xiaoran, what do you like? I’ll bid for it and give it to you, then you go and shut them up, don’t be a coward!"

Upon hearing this, Su Ran helplessly touched her forehead.

"Stop it."

Mo Shangjie looked frustrated, his patience tested, and hmphed twice.

"Why can’t you learn to use what you’ve got... ahem ahem, I mean, to use your connections? With such a strong backing as me, you’re actually wasting it, you’re being unreasonable."

Su Ran couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth. Who was being unreasonable?

She smiled faintly, looking meaningfully at the indignant person.

"Are you sure you want to compete with your boss for this opportunity?"

Mo Shangjie felt a shiver down his spine as a chilling wind whistled past him.

He turned to look at Fu Qiyuan, whose expression was icy, unperturbed for a thousand years!

He couldn’t help tensing up as if he were in an ice cellar.

"Hahaha... I didn’t say anything, after you, please, after you!"

Chu Ling nearly burst into laughter at Mo Shangjie’s frustrated and aggrieved look.

Mo Shangjie ground his teeth, "If you dare laugh out loud, believe it or not, I’ll throw you out of here."

Chu Ling gave a light cough twice, but the laughter in her eyes was unmistakable.

Next up was an antique porcelain.

The Sky-blue Glazed Jade Screen Pot, with faint hints of red and many claw-like crackles at the base, purportedly had a history of more than three hundred years.

As soon as this item appeared, it instantly caused quite a stir.

Such antique items held high collector’s value, and the starting prices were never low.

Even those who weren’t interested in collecting understood their value.

The starting price was five million, and it seemed Su Ran was also interested, raising her paddle for the first time.

"5.5 million."

Su Xinyan almost subconsciously raised her paddle too.

"5.8 million."

She was belatedly aware, as if this behavior had already become a habit, completely unpremeditated.

Gu Heng glanced sideways, and when Su Xinyan caught his gaze, she felt a sudden jolt in her heart but quickly steadied her emotions and said with a smile:

"Brother Heng, this Jade Screen Pot is so beautiful, how about I bid for it and put it in our room? It can be my wedding gift to you..."

At her words, Gu Heng’s face softened slightly, his eyes filled with a tender smile.

"Like it? I’ll bid for it and give it to you as a gift."

Su Xinyan shook her head, "I’d rather do it myself since it was always meant to be a gift for you."

"Silly, what’s mine is yours."

Su Xinyan smiled sweetly, but she insisted on bidding herself, leaving Gu Heng feeling somewhat helpless yet also warmed inside.

"Six million."

"Six million two hundred thousand."

"Six million four hundred thousand."

Others were also bidding, but it seemed that Su Xinyan always called out her bid after Su Ran, clearly just to irk Su Ran.

Su Ran: "Six million six hundred thousand."

Su Xinyan: "Six million seven hundred thousand."

Su Ran: "Seven million."

Su Xinyan: "Seven million two hundred thousand."

Fu Qiyuan’s face darkened slightly, he was about to raise his paddle but was stopped by Su Ran.

"This is between her and me; please don’t interfere."

Fu Qiyuan frowned, his displeasure evident.

Su Ran raised her eyebrows, a cunning look on her face.

"She likes to fight for things; let her have her fill!"

Fu Qiyuan watched her sly little expression and hooked his lips into a smile.

Su Ran blinked and continued to raise her paddle and bid.

"Seven million five hundred thousand."

"Seven million six hundred thousand," Su Xinyan continued to follow.

Su Ran: "Eight million."

The gap was getting wider.

Su Xinyan frowned and continued to raise her paddle, "Eight million two hundred thousand."

The price climbed higher and higher, and fewer people called out bids until eventually, many simply gave up and silently watched the two women compete.

The head-to-head contest between the two beauties, neither willing to concede, was quite a spectacle.

It was only when Su Ran bid ten million that Su Xinyan began to hesitate, considering whether the Sky-blue Glazed Jade Screen Pot was worth the price.

She took a deep breath, looked up, and met Su Ran’s mocking smile.

Rage surged to her head, and without thinking, she raised her paddle.

"Fifteen million."

Su Xinyan put down her paddle, her face showing a challenging look at Su Ran.

However, Su Ran didn’t raise her paddle again, she arched an eyebrow and a faint smile played at the corners of her lips.

She clearly had no intention of continuing the bidding war!

The triumphant expression on Su Xinyan’s face stiffened and then sank entirely.

Damn it, she was outmaneuvered by that bitch Su Ran again.

She had won the item, but what was left was a heart full of anger. Looking at Su Ran’s smiling face, she felt the urge to slap her twice.

"Oh my God, Xinyan, you’re lavish for love, now I don’t even know who to envy!"

"President Gu, our Xinyan is wholeheartedly devoted to you, you must treat her well!"

"A wedding gift? Although I’m almost dead from jealousy, I’m really into this drama!"

Fu Qiyuan’s eyes shifted slightly.

Hearing everyone’s comments, the expression on Su Xinyan’s face finally improved a bit, and she looked at Gu Heng with delight.

At that moment, a familiar and cool voice suddenly rang out.

"Twenty million."

Just when victory seemed assured, her brightening expression collapsed instantly at the interruption.
