Chapter 872: Chapter 870: Money-wasting Gimmick (Seventh Update)Xiao Yifeng wasnât concerned about these trivialities; he just kept on eating at the table, appearing somewhat out of place. Ye Yaxin symbolically put forth one million for an item.
"Now we will auction Miss Situ Qianâs donation, owner of BeautĂ© company, which is a bottle of perfume starting at three hundred thousand."
The auctioneer announced.
"Holy crap, a bottle of perfume for three hundred thousand, theyâve got to be kidding!"
Xiao Yifeng nearly choked on his food in astonishment, glancing over at Situ Qian who was tilting her head up, resembling a proud swan.
"Five hundred thousand!"
"Eight hundred thousand!"
"One million!"
"One million five hundred thousand!"
"Three million!"
In the blink of an eye, the price of Situ Qianâs perfume skyrocketed to three million, becoming the highest bid of the evening, leaving many in attendance in shock.
"Damn, whatâs with the world, a bottle of womenâs perfume going for so much moneyâthese people must be out of their minds."
Xiao Yifeng remarked.
"They are not out of their minds; theyâre doing this because of Situ Qianâs status and position, so they want to take this opportunity to cozy up to Miss Situ."
Ye Yaxin said softly.
"My wife is smart, but when the time comes, your item will surely fetch a higher price than that womanâs."
Xiao Yifeng said.
"My calligraphy isnât that great; getting one million for it would be decent enough."
Ye Yaxin replied with a gentle smile.
"Five million!"
In the end, that bottle of perfume from Situ Qian concluded at a staggering five million, making one ponder.
However, everyone present knew that this perfume, worth a mere few tens of thousands, fetched such a price solely because of the backing of the Situ Family and Situ Qianâs title and abilities as the Black Rose. If not for these, the perfume would never be worth so much.
"Qian, youâre quite something. So many people were after just one bottle of your perfume, driving the price this high. I reckon your item might be the highest priced today."
Situ Yuntian said with a faint smile.
"Theyâre just trying to seize this opportunity to connect with meâa bunch of ignorant people!"
Situ Qian scoffed.
"Next, we will be auctioning a Ming Dynasty painting donated by Miss Ye Yaxin of Tianhai Ye Corporation, starting at one hundred thousand."
No sooner had Situ Qianâs lot finished than Ye Yaxinâs calligraphy came up.
However, the painting itself wasnât of great value, and with the Ye Corporation not being well-known in Yanjing, there werenât many biddersâonly a few wealthy young men who found Ye Yaxin attractive had placed a few bids.
The result was less than seven hundred thousand, a very low price compared to other auctioned items present, significantly less than what Situ Qianâs perfume fetched, leaving Ye Yaxin somewhat embarrassed.
"Hmph!"
"Delusional clown!"
Witnessing Ye Yaxinâs embarrassment, Situ Qian from afar snorted contemptuously, tilting her neck even higher with a tinge of scorn.
Princess Zi Luo and Sun Ziyun both glanced over at Ye Yaxin and Xiao Yifeng.
Sun Ziyun was about to bid when a calm voice suddenly erupted, surprising everyone present.
"One billion!"
This statement silenced the entire charity gala. All eyes rapidly turned to the bidderâit was Xiao Yifeng.
"You..."
Even Ye Yaxin was taken aback, her gaze sharply turning to Xiao Yifeng.
"Itâs alright, consider it a charity!"
Xiao Yifeng smiled wickedly.
Situ Qian heard Xiao Yifeng bid that price from a distance and her expression soured, her eyes flickering before she spat out:
"Mr. Xiao, you are Miss Ye Yaxinâs fiancĂ©. Itâs your fiancĂ©eâs item up for auction. As the fiancĂ© bidding, do you feel that no one else will buy your fiancĂ©eâs items, and think itâs somewhat embarrassing?"
Situ Qianâs words were somewhat harsh to the ear, and they carried a hint of mockery, making Ye Yaxinâs already embarrassed face turn even uglier.
Xiao Yifeng let out a cold laugh and said, "Bro, I have money and nowhere to spend it, so why canât I spend a billion to buy something from my own fiancĂ©e? If youâve got the means, why donât you spend a billion to buy your bottle of perfume, and make a contribution to charity as well?"
"You..."
Situ Qianâs face was dark with anger, clearly infuriated.
"Alright, Qian, donât get angry, stay calm, stay calm!"
Situ Yuntian said soothingly.
"Honey, give me a kiss!"
Xiao Yifeng wrapped his arms around Ye Yaxin and pecked her on the lips, leaving her face flushed with embarrassment.
Sun Ziyun, Princess Zi Luo, and Liusheng Yiyi, the three women, all had a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes as they watched the scene.
In the end, Ye Yaxinâs painting was bought by Xiao Yifeng for a billion.
"Next up for auction is a Golden Armor Feather Robe specially provided by Japanâs Princess Zi Luo. Itâs said that the robe is exceptionally light and thin but tougher than steel, resistant to blades and guns, making it incredibly precious. The opening bid is one million!"
The auctioneer brought out a gold-colored robe, which was crafted with golden threads woven into feathers to form the entire garment.
"Golden Silkworm Thread, I didnât expect to find such a thing here."
Long Qian suddenly spoke up.
"What is Golden Silkworm Thread?"
Xiao Yifeng looked surprised.
"Golden Silkworm Thread is produced by a type of silkworm known as the Golden Silkworm. This silk is incredibly strong and resilient with exceptional defensive power. This garment is made entirely of Golden Silkworm Thread. Although itâs not a Spiritual Artifact, its defensive ability is even more powerful than that of defensive Spiritual Artifacts."
Long Qian explained calmly.
"That powerful!"
Xiao Yifengâs eyes sparkled as he stared at the Golden Silkworm Feather Robe.
"Two million!"
Situ Yuntian raised the bid directly.
"One billion!"
This familiar voice rang out again, instantly drawing the attention of the entire crowd once more to Xiao Yifeng, silently noting that it was that guy again.
Situ Yuntian also looked somewhat frustrated at Xiao Yifeng.
"Why are you bidding such a high price again?"
Ye Yaxin couldnât help but say, as she looked at Xiao Yifeng.
At this moment, everyone in attendance wanted to say just four words to Xiao Yifeng: A profligate spender!
For a mere charity auction, to suddenly pull out two billion, that was truly wasteful.
"This item is not bad, and besides, your husband can still afford two billion!"
Xiao Yifeng said nonchalantly.
In the end, the Golden Silkworm Feather Robe was once again acquired by Xiao Yifeng for a high price of a billion.
"Now, please welcome our next auction item, also provided by the hostess of tonightâs charity gala, Miss Sun Ziyunâan exquisite pair of Dragon and Phoenix Bracelets! The starting bid is five hundred thousand!"
The auctioneer called out again, bringing out a pair of bracelets.
The bidding quickly escalated, and the price soared all the way to three million, bringing a subtle smile to Sun Ziyunâs face.
"One billion!"
For the third time, that familiar voice sounded, and this time, no one in the audience showed a shocked expression. Their gaze went straight to Xiao Yifeng, as it was clear that this third bid was also from him.
