Chapter 22: After breaking off the engagement Mr. Si chased his wife to the crematorium!
Chapter 22: Grandfather's Mishap
"The starting bid is two hundred thousand."
Upon hearing the system's announcement, Nan Qiao sighed in amazement. Even leftover materials were worth two hundred thousand...
In front of the glass wall, there were three buttons marked with one hundred thousand, five hundred thousand, and one million respectively.
In other words, the minimum bid increment was one hundred thousand.
Standing in front of the glass wall, Li Yusha saw the blue amounts displayed on the walls of other boxes. After several rounds of bidding, the price had already risen to one million two hundred thousand.
"Yusha, this item is good. You can buy it and make soup for Grandpa. Not only will it be good for his health, but he'll also see you as a virtuous woman who knows how to cook soup. He'll definitely appreciate you..." Li Yusha also wanted this treasure, but other buyers were too aggressive. Despite pressing the button several times for a bid, she couldn't secure it. Eventually, she made a bold move and pressed the button for one million!
At this moment, the whole room fell silent.
"Two million five hundred thousand for the first time!"
"Two million five hundred thousand for the second time!"
"Two million five hundred thousand for the third time! Sold!"
"Congratulations to buyer number 19 for winning a bottle of Heart Comfort Powder!"
Nan Qiao never expected that even leftover materials could fetch such high prices. "Yanyan, can you send me some of your leftover materials in the future?"
Ou Yan looked at her with interest. "Send them to you? Can you use them?"
"Hehe, you can help me use them~" Li Yusha finally managed to secure the treasure, hugging her friend in excitement.
The next items were all ceramics, which didn't interest her, so she left early to go home and make soup.
It was two hours later when the final item appeared.
"Chen Ye, the Yixin Grass is here."
Six fresh green plants rose from the stage, nurtured by special potions and extremely delicate themselves.
"The starting bid is one million."
Qing Mu knew that Si Yechen was determined to get this item, so he directly added one million to the bid.
All the boxes were stunned by the large blue amount displayed in Box No. 1. One million! They were going straight in with one million! It was obvious they were determined to get it!
The other boxes also stepped up:
"Two million five hundred thousand."
"Three million."
"Three million five hundred thousand."
"Four million."
Nan Qiao looked at the situation. "Yanyan, how much should we bid?"
"Add one million."
Nan Qiao pressed the bid button, and the total amount immediately soared to five million!
The whole room was in an uproar.
After all, five million wasn't the price for all six Yixin Grass, but for one! Six of them would amount to a total of thirty million!
Others were no longer willing to compete. Just when Nan Qiao and Ouyan thought they had it...
A big blue amount appeared on the glass wall of Box No. 1: Six million.
Seeing this figure, the entire room was even more shocked! Ouyan and Nan Qiao didn't expect Box No. 1 to bid this high right away.
Box No. 3 wasn't backing down either: "Seven million."
Box No. 1 calmly followed up: "Eight million."
Box No. 3, full of fury: "Nine million."
Box No. 1, unfazed: "Ten million."
...
The whole room fell silent, watching these two heavyweights compete...
Box No. 2 felt inferior, wondering why they were sandwiched between these two giants. It was too embarrassing!
"Yanyan, we can't bid anymore. One Yixin Grass makes one Yixin Pill, and they're only sold for ten million!" Nan Qiao said, looking at Box No. 1, "It seems like someone big is here today, and we can't afford to offend them."
"The Yixin Grass can save Granny Bai's life." Ouyan pressed the bid button again for another million, "Today, I must get it."
"Yanyan..."
"Box No. 3, eleven million."
The whole room gasped, unable to believe that a small Yixin Grass could be auctioned off for eleven million! Who was in Box No. 3? How rich were they?
"Master Chen..." Qingmu didn't expect Box No. 3 to be so persistent, "Are we still bidding? The price has exceeded the value of the medicine itself."
"We're continuing." Chen Ye's voice was cold, his tone chilly, "Increase the gap."
"Yes!"
Qingmu pressed the bid button three times in a row...
"Box No. 1, fourteen million."
With the announcement from the system, Nan Qiao felt infuriated, "This is outrageous! Too much! Is it really necessary to compete with us like this for a few medicinal herbs? Who is in Box No. 1? So rich!"
Fourteen million for one Yixin Grass, and thirty-four million for all six... This wasn't something ordinary people could afford!
"Box No. 3, fifteen million."
Ou Yan pressed the bid button again.
Nan Qiao looked at her friend's slender and beautiful hand, stunned. "Yanyan, are you still bidding?"
The total price had reached ninety million...
Even if they made six Yixin Pills and sold them, they would only break even at sixty million, still losing thirty million!
At that moment, Si Yechen's phone rang.
It was from the steward, Wende Qiu, who took care of his grandfather.
"Young Master Chen, something's wrong! Grandfather had a high fever after drinking the stew that Miss Li Yusha brought. The doctor said his condition worsened, and they're still trying to save him... Would you please come over?"
Si Yechen narrowed his eyes, his tone displeased, "What did she give Grandfather to drink?"
"She said it was a kind of tonic beneficial to the heart..."
"And you just watched?"
"I had no choice. Grandfather was very happy to see her and insisted on finishing it all..."
Si Yechen stood up and left the box.
"Young Master, aren't we bidding anymore?" Qing Mu sensed his displeasure, "Has something happened to Grandfather?"
"He drank the soup Li Yusha made. He's currently in critical condition."
"What? When did Li Yusha start cooking soup? And she went to see Grandfather?" Qing Mu followed Chen Ye, "Why not ask Miss Ou Yan to come and see?"
Si Yechen suddenly stopped in his tracks, remembering the girl with the surgical knife, the one with clear and confident eyes...
"Didn't you have Ou Yan's phone number? Why not call her?"
Si Yechen glanced at him and then took out his phone.
"Fifteen million for the first time!"
Nan Qiao held her breath, clasping her hands together in prayer: "Don't bid, don't bid..."
"Fifteen million for the second time!"
Ou Yan's beautiful eyes fell on the large glass wall of Box No. 1. They seemed to have no intention of intercepting for the time being.
"Fifteen million for the third time!! Sold!!!"
"Yes!!" Nan Qiao hugged Ouyan in excitement, "We got it! We got it!!"
They didn't expect Box No. 1 to back down so easily, unable to keep up, and dared not continue!
"Congratulations to Box No. 3 for winning six Yixin Grass!"
"Yanyan, we finally got it!!" Nan Qiao was ecstatic.
At that moment, Ou Yan's phone vibrated a few times.
She looked down and saw an unfamiliar number calling.
"It's me, Yechen."
