Madam Yun felt that money was more important than jade, so she subconsciously thought Xia Ningxing was the same.
"But two billion is too little, everyone bid higher!" Madam Yun added.
The reason she said this was not really because she wanted Xia Ningxing to earn more money, but because she felt if she could make the jade sell for a higher price, Sir Lu would be sure not to skimp on her, and Ningxing would give her some more as a token of gratitude.
It has to be said, this was a well-laid plan, truly ingenious.
However...
Her scheme was doomed to fail.
"Step-grandmother, I don't plan to sell this purple jade," Xia Ningxing declared.
Madam Yun was taken aback at first, then incredulously pointed at her, "Have you gone mad! Why wouldn't you sell it!"
All that money, and she wasn't even tempted?
If it were her, she would sell it, not for two billion, but even for one billion!
