Ye Fan had barely reached the door when Qiu Mu-Cheng dragged him back.
"Well, uh, could you help? Qianqian really wants this chance but she doesn't have enough money, so why don't you help her?” said Qiu Mu-Cheng to Ye Fan.
"What? You want me to lend her money?" Ye Fan's eyes opened wide. "No way, I'll lend to anyone but her."
"Are you going to lend money to her or not?" Qiu Mu-Cheng glared coldly at Ye Fan.
"I..." Ye Fan wanted to refuse her, but he surrendered when he felt the piercing gaze of Qiu Mu-Cheng's eyes. "Fine, fine, I'll lend it to her, alright?"
"I can't believe you two. One is just running after her idol blindly and the other one is enabling her. You two are really best friends," muttered Ye Fan as he had no choice but to agree to Qiu Mu-Cheng's request.
The money was going to go from his left
pocket to his right pocket anyway. Either way it was still going into his own pocket.
This item was put up by Ye Fan, so Li Er would give Ye Fan all the proceeds from it.
"Alright then, I'll give you $50 million. No more than that," said Ye Fan casually.
"You? $50 million?" Su Qian was completely shocked and stared wide-eyed at Ye Fan. "You're just a pauper and you have $50 million? You're just joking with me, right?"
"Qianqian, he really does have the money." Qiu Mu-Cheng explained to Su Qian how Ye Fan had discovered the rock with imperial jade.
Su Qian was even more shocked after hearing her account. "What? He gambled on rocks and actually won $100 million?"
Su Qian was completely dumbfounded.
Ye Fan had seen through a $200 million painting at the antiques section and Su Qian was already blown away by that. She thought that this guy just got lucky, but Ye Fan actually managed to strike jackpot again at the jade auction.
"You...you know how to do rock gambling?" Su Qian asked Ye Fan in disbelief as her entire body shook.
Ye Fan shook his head and continued to insist that he knew nothing about rock gambling.
"Enough, Qianqian, hurry up and put your bid. If you don't seize the chance, it'll go to someone else," Qiu Mu-Cheng hurried her.
Su Qian snapped back to reality and went back to the bidding war.
"$170 million!"
"$180 million!"
Qiu Mu-Cheng and Su Qian continued to bid like crazy and their passionate voices filled the hall.
Ye Fan watched as Su Qian and Qiu Mu-Cheng went crazy bidding away. He only had a bitter and helpless smile on his face.
Ye Fan didn't think that an item he had just casually given to Li Er to auction just to do Li Er a favor would make his own wife fight tooth and nail for it.
The way things turned out were beyond Ye Fan's expectations.
"$190 million! Mr Sun here has offered $190 million! Is anyone else going to bid?" the excited and bright voice of the auctioneer continued to ring through the hall.
Sun Yu-Hao beamed proudly and eyed the private room that Ye Fan was in. There was a terribly cold look on his handsome face.
"This time, I'm going to fight it out with you!"
Sun Yu-Hao had orders from his father to come to Yunzhou to bid for this chance to meet with Mr Chu.
The Sun family had reached a bottleneck in its advancement, and they were counting on this meeting with Mr Chu to make a breakthrough.
So Sun Yu-Hao's father had instructed him to get this chance no matter how much it cost.
