"One million. Does anyone want to place a higher bid?" The auctioneer was holding a gavel as he looked at the people inside the venue.
Since the auction was not a high-profile event, most of the people who attended it were not very wealthy.
"Son..." Xiang Wenyin felt anxious as she looked at Lu Ziyin.
Lu Ziyin looked up at Shi Jue's private room. It was quiet. If Lu Ziyin placed a bid, Shi Jue would definitely try to outbid him. He then took a deep breath as he stared at the jade pendant. "1.2 million!" he shouted.
That was the moment Shi Jue had been waiting for.
He had a faint smile on his face as he looked at Dian Dian. The child immediately understood the meaning behind Shi Jue's gaze. "Father, bid 2 million," he said.
Shi Jue placed his bid.
Lu Ziyin took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
The other people inside the venue were stunned after hearing Shi Jue's bid.
Ever since the auction started, the man inside the private room had been outbidding Lu Ziyin on every single item. No matter how high the price of the item was, the man in the private room would still place a higher bid.
As a result, each item Shi Jue placed a bid on had exceeded its original value by at least ten times.
It seemed the man inside the private room was deliberately trying to outbid Lu Ziyin.
It was obvious that there was something in between Lu Ziyin and the man in the room.
Xiang Wenyin also sensed that something was wrong. She stared at the private room with a confused look on her face. "Son, who is the person in that room? Why is he constantly outbidding us?"
She was really furious.
The Lu family had already gone bankrupt. It was hard to watch each of the family's personal belongings get auctioned off.
Fortunately, Lu Ziyin was starting to become successful again.
Xiang Wenyin believed that he would make their family wealthy and powerful again.
"2.1 million." Lu Ziyin ignored Xiang Wenyin's questions and placed a higher bid.
"3 million," Dian Dian suddenly said.
Lu Ziyin clenched his fists as a cold light flashed across his eyes.
Shi Jue's heart was really dark. He was now letting Dian Dian bid on his behalf. It served as a reminder that Dian Dian was really Shi Jue's son with Xia Weiyang.
"3.1 million." Lu Ziyin gnashed his teeth. He had spent almost all the money he brought with him.
He did not expect that he would spend all of his money that day.
"5 million."
"5.1 million."
Suddenly, the private room became quiet. Just when everyone thought that it was over and the people in the private room had stopped bidding, Dian Dian's voice sounded again.
"80 million."
"What?"
In an instant, everyone inside the venue shouted in surprise. They gazed at the private room before looking at Lu Ziyin.
They did not expect that a wealthy person would attend their auction.
They would need multiple lifetimes just to earn that amount of money.
Based on the tone of the child, it seemed he didn't care about the money he was bidding.
No one at the auction would be able to match Dian Dian's bid.
Lu Ziyin kept thinking about the current price of the jade pendant.
Before his family went bankrupt, outbidding Shi Jue and Dian Dian would be easy.
Now, however, it was impossible.
The hatred in his heart for Shi Jue and his son grew.
At that moment, Xiang Wenyin's face turned pale. She knew that there was no way her family could outbid the man inside the private room.
She then grabbed the corner of Lu Ziyin's shirt. "Son, do we have that much money?" she said with a trembling voice.
Despite their current situation, Xiang Wenyin was not willing to give up. She was determined to get the jade pendant.
Lu Ziyin pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.
