The Beautiful Teaching Assistant Gave Me Three Children, Shocking the Entire School-Chapter 387: Auction Battle

The auction proceeded in an orderly manner.

The entire venue was very quiet, with only the sound of the auctioneer’s voice, and none of the attendees foolishly raising a hand and shouting "I bid xxxx."

Those who wished to bid only needed to lightly press a custom remote in their hand, and the auctioneer would immediately know which participant was bidding.

Whenever someone successfully won an item, the attendees would politely applaud to express their congratulations.

Tang Yuxin sat quietly beside Xiao Fei, full of curiosity.

It was her first time attending such an auction, and it was completely different from those she had seen on television.

The people were very quiet.

Even when there was conversation, it was in soft whispers, trying not to disturb others.

Nobody foolishly stood up to spout nonsense only to be put in their place.

Everyone was respectable, conducting business in a business setting, and many had deep exchanges with each other in their businesses, giving each other face and getting along amicably wasn’t impossible, was it?

However, gradually, as the auction progressed, the value of the items being auctioned grew higher, and Tang Yuxin gradually showed a surprised expression.

"... Eight million, third call, sold!"

"Congratulations to guest number 35, for acquiring..."

Eight million!

Tang Yuxin looked at the painting displayed on the platform.

Just like that, someone spent eight million to buy a painting!?

Could she ever earn that much money in her lifetime?

Tang Yuxin opened her mouth slightly, somewhat speechless.

She knew her family was quite wealthy.

Her husband’s assets in this venue could only be compared to those of the two Mr. Mas.

However, knowing is one thing, seeing these truly wealthy people spend money like water is another.

If it was spending millions or even tens of millions on buying houses or cars, Tang Yuxin wouldn’t be too surprised; after all, these things were inherently expensive in her mind.

But...

A painting?

And not something too ancient, just a painting from the late Qing period, worth eight million?

These people really don’t treat money as money, do they?

"What’s wrong?"

Noticing Tang Yuxin’s unusual behavior, Xiao Fei gently patted her hand and asked in a low voice, tiling his head over.

Feeling Xiao Fei’s breath lightly brushing past her earlobe and the faint gardenia fragrance on him,

Tang Yuxin instinctively rubbed her head against Xiao Fei’s, then realized this was a public setting!

With a bit of embarrassment, she said, "Nothing, just thinking... thinking... these people are really amazing at spending money."

This is amazing?

Xiao Fei chuckled.

Silly girl, the real amazement is yet to come.

So far, neither of the Mr. Mas has made a move yet.

At their level, if an auction doesn’t have something they want, they generally wouldn’t participate.

Now that they’re here, it means there’s something they want.

After a while.

As the auction advanced, a highly anticipated item was carefully placed on the platform.

In an instant.

Tang Yuxin’s eyes suddenly lit up, gleaming with surprise and excitement.

Yes, it was the Xuanjin Hollowed-out Embroidery Tea Fragrance Pendant she had instantly fallen in love with earlier.

Under the lights, this exquisite piece radiated a unique charm, the hollowed-out embroidery craftsmanship was exquisite and superb, as if telling an ancient story.

Xiao Fei noticed Tang Yuxin’s reaction, smiled faintly, and did not rush to bid.

He crossed his arms, his gaze calm and composed, seemingly waiting for the right moment.

"The starting price is thirty million, each bid increment should not be less than one million, please begin the bidding."

The auctioneer’s loud and compelling voice echoed through the venue, instantly breaking the brief silence.

As soon as the words fell, someone immediately raised their bidding paddle without hesitation.

The bidding price soared like a rocket, almost instantly breaking through the forty million mark.

It swiftly crossed the fifty million mark next.

The atmosphere in the venue was tense yet fervent.

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the ever-changing price tag, secretly calculating their limits in their hearts.

A few minutes later, seeing the price reaching eighty million for the pendant, Tang Yuxin’s expression turned incredibly odd.

She slightly opened her mouth, her gaze containing both amazement and a hint of self-mockery.

The thing she picked at first sight was actually so expensive?

She couldn’t help but find it amusing, yet felt a bit proud of her unique taste.

Though she had originally thought if it only cost a few million, she would grit her teeth and buy it.

After all, the pocket money her husband gave her daily, she hadn’t really spent much of it, accumulating quite a lot.

However, now seeing the bidding price reach eighty million, Tang Yuxin decisively made a grand retreat.

Eighty million, though she could afford it, she thought it wasn’t worth spending such an enormous amount on a piece of jewelry.

Finally, Mr. Ma made a bid.

"Guest number 1 is bidding one hundred and ten million."

The auctioneer announced loudly.

With just that sequence number, everyone present immediately knew who the bidder was.

Who else but the illustrious Mr. Ma could be?

Many people gave him face, but even more were because they couldn’t afford such a high price, having to reluctantly withdraw from the bidding.

Ma Yun smiled modestly, with an air of confidence suggesting that the Xuanjin Hollowed-out Embroidery Tea Fragrance Pendant was already in his pocket.

However, just when everyone thought the deal was sealed...

"Guest number 3 bids one hundred and twenty million."

The auctioneer’s words, like a massive stone dropped into a calm lake, plunged the venue into a momentary commotion.

Ma Yun turned his head, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Xiao Fei responded with a polite smile, speaking in a calm tone, "Sorry, Mr. Ma, I might have to cut in."

"Hahaha, no problem, it’s all a fair competition."

Ma Yun laughed heartily, yet his gaze turned more serious.

"Mr. Xiao, is it for your wife?"

While saying this, Ma Yun placed yet another higher bid.

Xiao Fei promptly followed, with a doting tone, said, "My wife indeed likes it."

"One can say Mrs. Xiao is truly fortunate."

Ma Yun nodded slightly, continuing to bid.

Xiao Fei was equally unyielding, responding immediately each time Ma Yun raised the bid.

The two went back and forth, neither willing to give up.

Before long, the price of the pendant was pushed to one hundred and sixty million!

The atmosphere in the venue reached its peak.

Everyone’s gaze alternated between Xiao Fei and Ma Yun, nervously watching this intense bidding war, unsure of who this precious piece of jewelry would ultimately belong to. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
