Chapter 147: Flames of Jealousy
Wei Yong wanted to continue bidding, but a fair hand suddenly stopped him. Shen Hanxing said calmly, "This price has already far exceeded the original price of the pair of earrings. CEO Wei, don’t waste any more money. You should look at other things instead."
Wei Yong’s heart shook. He smiled as he put away the paddle and said, "Alright then, I’ll listen to you, Ms. Shen."
The others did not raise their bidding paddles as well. This intense competition had finally come to an end. They allowed this pair of earrings that had agitated everyone here to be snatched away by an unknown boss of a small company.
"Phew," Ji Mei held her chest and let out a long breath. Her face was filled with a sense of relief. In just a few short minutes, she actually felt as if she had survived a disaster. However, after this matter had come to an end, she painfully realized how much money she had to fork out. But it didn’t matter. The money was still hers after they completed a couple of procedures.
"Id*ot!" Cheng Songyang looked at his stupid mother and sister with an ambiguous glint in his eyes. Then, he got up and left.
After Cheng Songyang left, Cheng Liu finally couldn’t hold back the dissatisfaction in her heart. She said angrily, "Mom, look at Brother. Does he still treat us as his family?"
"Xiao Liu, your brother has been under a lot of pressure recently." Ji Mei’s face did not look too good either. However, she still helped to find an excuse for Cheng Songyang. "You should be more sensible. Don’t disturb him too much." Today, it was because of her daughter’s words that there were so many twists and turns. She thought that she would be able to earn another 26 million dollars. However, with the words Cheng Liu uttered today, all the money was gone. Ji Mei also lost her usual patience with her daughter. Ji Mei simply gave a few words of advice and left to socialize, leaving a dissatisfied Cheng Liu sitting where she was.
The items that were to be auctioned next were all auctioned as per normal. There was nothing attractive about them. Ji Yan’s current status naturally did not need to be displayed by the price of the item he had offered for auction. After his watch went through the procedures and was auctioned off, the ordinary auction was also coming to an end.
Cheng Dong walked over to Shen Hanxing with the wrapped earrings. When his gaze fell on Ji Yan, he timidly crouched. Then, he obediently handed over the earrings with an apologetic smile. He said, "A gentleman does not snatch away what others love. I’ll return this pair of earrings to the original owner now."
"This is not appropriate, right?" Shen Hanxing’s eyes flashed. "After all, you spent a lot of money to buy these, CEO Cheng."
