Chapter 127 Human Greed_1
Su ChengYu confirmed what he suspected - this old man was raising the price right and left, and reaping the benefits as others competed. It seemed like he had become a bit too greedy.
"Boy, this ho shou wu root is mine! Remember not to compete with me, I am loaded!"
Hou Kexin arrogantly declared.
Su ChengYu was determined to get this purple wisteria, it was too important to him to give up.
"Three million and five hundred thousand!" Su ChengYu continued to bid.
"You! Are you purposefully trying to oppose me? I’m warning you, if you offend me, you won’t have a good ending! Do you know who I am?" Hou Kexin angerly stated.
Su ChengYu chose not to pay her any mind, as Hou Kexin bit her teeth and bid, "Three million and eight hundred thousand!"
The onlookers were utterly shocked. No one had expected that a ho shou wu root could sell for three million and eight hundred thousand. Now, no one doubted that Su ChengYu was shill bidding; everyone was excitedly waiting to see how the bidding war would unfold.
"This lady is certainly extravagant. In my opinion, this ho shou wu root is destined to belong to you."
The old man was extremely pleased. After praising Hou Kexin, he turned to Su ChengYu and asked, "Young man, can you raise the price any further? If you don’t bid, I’m going to sell it to this lady."
Su ChengYu had little patience left and directly addressed the old man: "Old sir, earlier you were planning on selling to me for ninety thousand. I saw that you were of old age and probably living a difficult life, so I didn’t want to deceive you. I offered you three million directly. But aren’t you being too greedy? Besides, we agreed on a price before. There needs to be some honesty in dealing with others!"
