Chapter 303: Sky-high Price Of 300 Million

Gu Yao could not sit still anymore.

Earlier, didn’t Qiao Xi say that she was not interested? Now, the bid had increased to 200 million.

Yao Mengqing curled the corners of her lips. She was sure that Qiao Xi had gone mad. In her eyes, money was just a number. She wanted to get this violin no matter what the price was!

Since that was the case, then she would increase the price one last time and push Qiao Xi to the edge of the abyss before she stopped.

At that time, if Qiao Xi said no, it would mean that she was disrespecting the charity auction. She would also be mocked by the entire upper-class society. She would not be able to raise her head in Li City.

If Qiao Xi was smart, she could only grit her teeth and endure it. She would have to obediently take out this enormous sum of money.

Seeing that the gavel was about to fall, Yao Mengqing raised her placard. “300 million!”

At this moment, everyone held their breaths as their gazes moved between Qiao Xi and Yao Mengqing.

Yao Mengqing also looked at Qiao Xi. She did not raise her placard but smiled meaningfully.

The venue was silent. The exclamation of ‘300 million’ was still reverberating in the hall.

The competition between Yao Mengqing and Qiao Xi was truly astounding.

Although both families were not short of money, it was really scary for them to raise the price to 300 million just for a violin.

Everyone felt that 300 million was not the end. According to Qiao Xi’s performance earlier, she would continue to increase the bid. Yao Mengqing thought so too.

The auctioneer even forgot to hit the gavel as he stared at Qiao Xi, waiting for her to raise the bid.

She remained silent and sat there quietly, ignoring the burning gazes of the crowd.

Everyone was anxious. Why was Miss Qiao not raising her placard?

Yao Mengqing’s heart thumped as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

She looked at Qiao Xi’s nonchalant appearance and felt very uneasy.

After a while, Qiao Xi still did not speak.

Yao Mengqi immediately reacted and questioned loudly, “Qiao Xi! You’re not bidding anymore?”

Everyone’s gaze landed on the Yao family again. Yao Mengqing’s face was pale, and her heart was beating furiously.

Qiao Xi calmly took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly, “Of course, I want it…”

Yao Mengqing’s expression eased up for a moment. She knew that Qiao Xi would continue to increase the bid. So long as Qiao Xi increased the bid, she would immediately give up and show a regretful expression.

However, Qiao Xi’s next words caused her hair to stand on end!

“But the price is too high. I… don’t have that kind of money.”

Qiao Xi seemed to be very regretful and sighed. “I already spent a lot of money earlier, so I can’t spend more than 300 million this time. I originally thought that I would get it at 200 million, but who knew that Miss Yao would raise it to 300 million?

“You must really want this violin, Miss Yao. I’ll give it to you, then.”

Yao Mengqing felt her mind buzz and she instantly went blank.
