The Crazy Son-In-Law

In the following three rounds of the auction, Xiao Shun did not shout wildly, which relieved the bidders deeply. If this jerk continued, it was estimated that almost all the auction items tonight would sell for a sky-high price!

Because of his previous loss to Xiao Shun, Shen Mohan became somewhat low-key and did not raise his sign a few times, apparently waiting eagerly for his prey.

Another half hour passed, and the auction was already at the halfway stage. The enthusiasm of the crowd seemed to have diminished compared to the beginning. Cao Wanqing had anticipated this scene long ago and nodded slightly to the nearby staff.

Then, a piece of clothing displayed in a glass showcase was slowly placed in the center of the stage by four staff members, and four spotlights converged on it, making the pure white garment sparkle under the lights.

Seeing this, Xiao Shun smiled slightly, “Hehe, didn’t you wear this dress to receive an award last time? It really suits you!”

Mo Yibai’s eyes revealed a hint of nostalgia, and his thoughts involuntarily returned to the night that had once made her famous.

Retracting her wandering thoughts, Mo Yibai explained, “It’s my battle garb, and it has witnessed countless historic moments with me. I can see a lot of reluctance in your eyes.”

Looking at Mo Yibai, Xiao Shun could perceive a lot of deep emotions in his eyes. Helplessly nodding, Mo Yibai explained, “Northleap means a lot to me. Since there’s trouble here, I have to help. Besides, compared to those precious jewels, I think this item has more auction value!”

As Xiao Shun and Mo Yibai chatted, the atmosphere in the venue began to stir, with everyone’s attention focused on the evening gown on the stage.

“Hey, Miss Mo’s worn clothes, please give me some face for this…”

“To hell with that, compared to my idol’s clothes, you amount to nothing!”

“I think we’d better give up. The big shots in the front row haven’t spoken yet. We should just call it a night!”

“I don’t care about them. I’ll find a way to get this item no matter what!”

…

Watching the crowd below become increasingly lively, Cao Wanqing smiled faintly. Then, she cleared her throat and said, “Ahem, please be quiet, everyone!”

As soon as she spoke, the venue quickly regained order, and the previously incessant whispers disappeared without a trace. This was a clear indication of Cao Wanqing’s standing in the eyes of these wealthy businessmen and celebrities.

“I’m sure you can’t wait to bid for the auction item provided by Yibai, right? This is indeed a very special dress.”

Pausing for a moment, Cao Wanqing continued, “It’s been said that an item itself has no value, and it’s often only its owner who can give it value.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the venue erupted into thunderous applause.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

At this point, Xiao Shun couldn’t help but laugh, “Hehe, Miss Cao really has a way with words. It’s obvious that she’s trying to raise the price for your evening gown, and she’s doing it flawlessly!”

Mo Yibai gave him a disgruntled look, “What, do you really think this dress is worthless in your eyes?”

“Haha!” Xiao Shun laughed and continued, “Miss Mo’s battle garb, how could I dare to make a casual evaluation?”

“Hmph!” Mo Yibai snorted heavily and then shifted his gaze to the pristine evening gown on the stage, expressing his concern, “I wonder who will be able to win this evening gown tonight. I hope it won’t be disrespected!”

After hearing this, Xiao Shun’s heart stirred, feeling a bit unsettled, but he didn’t say much.

Meanwhile, Cao Wanqing’s melodious voice rang out from the stage.

“Starting bid at one million dollars. Please place your bids!”

“Five million!”

“Ten million!”

As soon as she finished speaking, two shocking bids came from the front row almost simultaneously. Five million came from Zhou Xiaobin, while Shen Mohan offered ten million!

“Damn, they’re leaving me with no way out!”

“What the hell, who bids like that? I don’t accept it!”

“Damn, the two big shots from Northleap have started bidding. It seems like this evening gown has nothing to do with us anymore!”

Inside the venue, some people were clearly not happy.

But there was nothing they could do. After all, with two major figures like Zhou and Shen involved, the other businessmen didn’t dare to compete. In Northleap City, the Zhou and Shen families held the top positions, and the conflict between them was hard to resolve. As for other families, they simply didn’t have the qualifications to participate in thisgrand commercial warfare.

However, tonight, someone was obviously not satisfied. Holding up the sign with a bold and powerful shout, they proclaimed, “Ten million and one dollar!”

Upon hearing this offer, everyone’s jaws dropped, and all eyes turned to the source of the bid.

“Hey, isn’t that the kid who raised the bid earlier?”

“Does anyone even bid like that?”

“It seems to be working, after all, the organizers didn’t specify how much the bid increments should be for each round!”

Suddenly, many people began to realize, and the venue became lively once again.

“Ten million and two dollars!”

“Ten million and three dollars!”

…

“Ten million and fifty dollars!”

Cao Wanqing’s expression on the stage became somewhat annoyed. She had never expected someone to be so shameless and exploit a loophole in the auction.

At this moment, as she felt irate, her sharp and furious gaze swept across Xiao Shun, the one who started all of this. It was all because of this jerk; otherwise, things wouldn’t have turned into such a mess.

Just as Cao Wanqing was lost in thought, the bidding had already been raised to “ten million and two hundred dollars” by an unknown bidder. This made Cao Wanqing so angry that she wished she could jump down from the stage and give Xiao Shun a good beating right now!

Coincidentally, she wasn’t the only one feeling infuriated. Shen Mohan and Zhou Xiaobin were also greatly annoyed by Xiao Shun’s actions.

One had raised the bid by four million, the other by five million, setting off such an extravagant beginning, all to deter those who coveted the evening gown. Yet this young man’s intervention had completely derailed the auction!

Damn it!

Unable to bear it any longer, Zhou Xiaobin angrily shouted, “Fifteen million!”
