"If we manage to get Mr Chu's item, we'd be connected to Mr Chu somehow and we might be able to see him next time, right?" Qiu Mu-Cheng continued to console Su Qian.
Qiu Mu-Cheng wanted to come to this auction very badly also because she really wanted to see that Mr Chu too. She wanted to see if her crazy idea was true.
But Qiu Mu-Cheng was suddenly not so fixated on this idea anymore.
Regardless of who Mr Chu really was, she just knew that as long as Ye Fan was the Ye Fan she knew, that was good enough.
She started to secretly look towards the man next to her.
Ye Fan had just remained quiet all this while.
He was just quietly listening to the two ladies talk and quietly watched the proceedings of the auction downstairs.
"The following item is a 500 year old wild ginseng. As everyone knows, wild ginseng is a rare herb that is not only effective for prolonging life, but it is also extremely beneficial to supplement the kidneys and keep away related ailments. Ordinary wild ginseng already has such benefits, so what more a rare one that is this old? This high grade supplement is great for both men and women, and people of all ages. The bid will start at $4 million," announced the auctioneer loudly as his voice boomed through the hall.
"Oh?" Sun Yu-Hao had closed his eyes to rest earlier, but slowly opened his eyes when he heard this item being announced. He smiled to himself and said, "I didn't expect this auction to carry something so rare."
"I'm definitely getting my hands on this wild ginseng!"
Sun Yu-Hao beamed proudly and made an offer, "$4.5 million!" "$5 million!" An intense bidding war started and this wild ginseng soon reached $6 million.
"$7 million!" Sun Yu-Hao shouted once more and his authoritative and domineering voice swept the hall.
After Sun Yu-Hao made such an offer, all the others who were bidding against him earlier decided to stop.
This ginseng was rare, but $7 million was a bit too much to pay for it. If the bids went any higher, it wouldn't be worth it anymore.
Once he saw that nobody else was going to fight him for it, a victorious smile appeared on Sun Yu-Hao's lips, as if that wild ginseng was already his.
"Yu-Hao, isn't this something for the elderly? Why did you bid for this?" Han Fei-Fei asked him.
Sun Yu-Hao's expression faltered a little and he replied her after a while, "Oh, I'm buying this for my grandfather. He's getting on in age and it's good for him to take such supplements."
"Wow, Yu-Hao, you're such a filial grandson!" Han Fei-Fei started singing his praises again.
She wouldn't have imagined that Sun Yu-Hao had actually bought this for himself.
Very few people knew that Sun Yu-Hao suffered from sexual dysfunction. Back then, his first girlfriend had broken up with him because he wasn't able to satisfy her in this aspect.
This was a thorn that was always in Sun Yu-Hao's heart. After so many years, Sun Yu-Hao had tried all means and ways but he never seemed to get better.
After he heard that this wild ginseng was great for the kidneys, which also implied a boost in potency for men in Chinese medicine, Sun Yu-Hao was definitely getting this wild ginseng regardless of how much it cost in order to ensure he had a blissful marriage in the future.
As for why he lied to Han Fei-Fei...well, nobody would tell someone else about such a thing!
"Anymore bidders? If not, this wild ginseng..." The auctioneer looked around as his voice rang loudly in everyone's ears.
But just when Sun Yu-Hao was sure that this wild ginseng was his, a voice suddenly called out.
"$8 million!"
What?
Sun Yu-Hao's proud look immediately sank and the smile on his face froze.
"What the hell?"
"What are you doing?"
"Are you nuts?"
Qiu Mu-Cheng and Su Qian were frightened to death in their private room.
Su Qian in particular, never thought that Ye
