At that moment, only Zhao Siqing and Gu Anhui were left in the bidding arena.
The price of the jade Buddha also soared to 280 million.
Gu Anhui's mother looked at her and gently advised, "Huihui, didn't you originally want to bid for that embroidery? Don't try to win something you don't need in a moment of anger. "
Gu Anhui looked at her mother and slowly said, "mother, I know what I'm doing. "although that embroidery is a good choice, old Madam Huo has always liked to honor the Buddha. Giving her the jade buddha is also a good choice. Moreover, I've already fought with her to this point. If I show my cowardice now, wouldn't it be a disgrace to our Gu family? "
Hearing this, mother Gu nodded and said, "It's good that you know what to do. "
"Number 38 bids 280 million! Do you have any more friends? Do you have any? " The auctioneer looked at Zhao Siqing and kept asking.
"280 MILLION GOING ONCE! "
"280 MILLION GOING TWICE! "
The auctioneer picked up the small hammer and looked around. Gu Anhui also turned to look at Zhao Siqing with a cold look in her eyes.
Just as the auctioneer was about to speak for the third time, Zhao Siqing raised her paddle again. Gu Anhui's face instantly darkened.
"Okay, number 16,281 million! "
Zhao Siqing was a little embarrassed. She forgot to raise the bid, so the auctioneer automatically raised the bid by one million.
Gu Anhui raised her bid again. "290 million! "
She was determined to win this jade Buddha. As the daughter of the Gu Corporation, how could she lose to Zhao Siqing?
She knew that Huo Jingchen would definitely pay for it.
But even if he did, she didn't want to give her the chance to present this jade Buddha to old Madam Huo.
The auctioneer shouted again, "290 million going once! 290 MILLION GOING TWICE! "
Zhao Siqing calculated that it should be about time. If she continued, Gu Anhui would follow, but her family was still there, so she might not be allowed to follow.
Seeing that Zhao Siqing had no intention to continue fighting, Gu Anhui turned to look at her with a cold smile. The mockery in her eyes was obvious.
"290 million... "
Just as the auctioneer was about to drop the Hammer, Huo Jingchen took Zhao Siqing's number plate and said in a deep voice, "350 million! "
In an instant, the entire venue was in an uproar.
350 million was too much of a premium. Even though it was not a large sum of money for a noble family, it was still not a small sum to be used for squandering and fighting for a moment's worth.
Huo Jingchen's dark eyes stared straight at Gu Anhui, his long and narrow phoenix-like eyes especially sharp.
Seeing Huo Jingchen stand up for Zhao Siqing, Gu Anhui's face turned green with anger.
Did he think that he was bullying Zhao Siqing, so he wanted to support her?
She just did not go according to his wishes!
"400 million! " Gu Anhui's eyes were red as she raised the number plate in her hand again.
Mother Gu and father Gu both frowned, but no one said anything to stop her.
Mother Gu could not help but say, "this Huo Jingchen is too arrogant. The outside world now knows that Hui Hui is grandfather Huo's designated granddaughter-in-law, but this Huo Jingchen is openly challenging Hui Hui for another woman. This is simply a slap to the HUO FAMILY'S FACE! "
"Four hundred and fifty million. " Huo Jingchen raised the number plate again, his voice low and steady.
Zhao Siqing looked at Gu Anhui, who had lost her mind, and could not help but sigh that Huo Jingchen was really good at psychological warfare.
First, she had to raise her paddle and bid to attract Gu Anhui to enter the competition.
Then, when she showed that she was no match for Huo Jingchen, Huo Jingchen would step in and support her. This caused father and mother Gu to be furious, and in the end, he used a jade Buddha to extort money from the Gu family.
