Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife – o

"Alright, the starting price for this raw stone is eight million! The bidding starts!"

The scene fell into a strange silence; no one wanted to spend eight million to buy a stone. Just as Jane Ech thought the stone was going to be passed over, two voices suddenly rang out simultaneously.

"Twenty million!"

"Forty million!"

Jane Ech was stunned, looking puzzlingly at Gu Yelin and An Yiqing, who both bid together. What are these two up to?

Gu Yelin was also stunned. He planned to bid for this raw stone as a gift for An Yiqing, but who would have thought the young lady herself would speak up?

Smiling, she glanced at Gu Yelin and said softly, "Let me do it."

Gu Yelin understood her intention and handed over the bidding rights to An Yiqing. An Yiqing, with a mischievous smile, said to Jane Ech, "My husband’s withdrawing, I bid forty million."

Jane Ech was amused by this interesting couple and smiled as he said, "Chairman An from Xuanjin Yulong bids forty million, does anyone else want to bid?"

Everyone remained silent, some even looked at An Yiqing with strange eyes. Spending forty million to buy a piece of stone—is she out of her mind?

Edith had been observing the interaction between An Yiqing and Gu Yelin in secret. She could see that An Yiqing liked this stone, so she made up her mind.

Raising her numbered paddle, Edith shouted loudly, "Fifty million!"

An Yiqing glanced at her lightly, "Eighty million."

"Ninety million!" Edith raised an eyebrow, her smile mocking.

"One hundred and thirty million."

Edith’s eyes widened. One hundred and thirty million for a piece of broken stone—does this woman have a screw loose? She turned to look at An Yiqing, who was looking at her with a playful gaze. In an instant, she was furious.

"Two hundred million!"

There was a gasp—everyone was shocked.

Two hundred million? Is this stone made of gold?!

But everyone could see clearly that Edith had decided to oppose An Yiqing. However, even though she was a princess, her funds were probably limited, right?

An Yiqing squinted at her and said leisurely, "Three hundred million."

Everyone was going crazy—three hundred million for a broken stone. How much money does Xuanjin Yulong have for her to spend?

That’s what Edith thought too. She chuckled coldly, lifting her chin high, "Miss An, three hundred million, can your Xuanjin Yulong afford it?"

Unexpectedly, An Yiqing smiled faintly, her demeanor calm, "Princess Edith, don’t worry. For things I like, I never rely on the company’s power. This stone, I’ll pay for it myself."

The whole venue was in an uproar; everyone thought An Yiqing must be crazy. Three hundred million—does her family own a bank?

Edith gave An Yiqing a strange look, feeling that she was a madwoman. However, no matter what, she couldn’t let her have her way.

"Three hundred and fifty million!" Edith bid.

An Yiqing glanced at her, "Four hundred million."

Edith’s face turned unpleasant. The liquid funds at her disposal were only five hundred million. If An Yiqing tricked her into a massive financial loss, wouldn’t she end up broke?!

Edith wasn’t foolish, she knew it was time to stop.

"Miss An bids four hundred million, is there anyone else who wants to bid?" Jane Ech was a bit excited, "Four hundred million going once!"

"Four hundred million going twice!"

"Four hundred million going three times! This Jade Raw Stone now officially belongs to Chairman An of Xuanjin Yulong!"

An Yiqing smiled, not feeling a bit of regret. The blue Jade Spirit was worth billions; spending four hundred million to buy it was truly value for money.

However, she squinted her eyes. For making her spend this much more, Edith would have to be properly thanked.

The auction continued, but everyone was somewhat absent-minded. All thoughts were focused on An Yiqing’s four hundred million, speculating on just how wealthy Xuanjin Yulong and An Yiqing were. Having four hundred million as personal savings—did she rob a bank?

As the auction went on, Gu Yelin, for a rare occasion, participated as well. He bid for many small items, some were gems, others were antique paintings and calligraphy. The prices weren’t cheap either, and everyone was astonished by Gu Yelin’s financial strength. Edith also bid for many items, those that Gu Yelin seemed to fancy, thinking he wasn’t buying them for An Yiqing, she personally bid and won them, wanting Gu Yelin to remember her goodwill.

Throughout the auction, Edith spent at least over a hundred million.

As the auction neared its end, Jane Ech and the staff made arrangements backstage, then transactions were completed in public. The auction items were handed over to their respective owners.

Gu Yelin handed over a gold card, receiving the checklist from Jane Ech, signed his name with a flourish. Edith also swiped her card, then, after receiving the checklist, she handed it over to Gu Yelin.
