Madam Is A Sensational Figure In The City Chapter 167 - 167: You're Stingier Than Huo Xishen

Chapter 167 - 167: You're Stingier Than Huo Xishen

Tang Qing knew that she was just trying to agitate him.

However...

He was really curious about the origins of the wooden bangle.

"Mr. Tang, you're very wealthy and you're not a petty miser like Huo Xishen. You definitely will buy the bangle at all costs."

Yan Jinyi continued to tempt him.

'Is Huo Xishen very petty and stingy?'

Tang Qing was a little surprised and he felt that he had touched a blind spot as he actually heard Huo Xishen's wife say that he was stingy.

'It seems that Huo Xishen doesn't really treat this woman very well.'

Tang Qing tugged his necktie and raised his chin a little before saying arrogantly, "Of course, I'm definitely more generous than Huo Xishen."

Yan Jinyi gave him a thumbs up and then pulled Shen Yan away without looking back.

The auction venue was already crowded with people of the upper cla.s.s society of the city.

As members of the Huo Family, Yan Jinyi and Shen Yan were seated in the first row, with Tang Qing seated only a meter away from them.

The first item that was put up for auction happened to be Yan Jinyi's bangle, and they wondered if Tang Qing had deliberately made that arrangement.

"This wooden bangle is made of wood from a 500-year-old-tree in Black Cloud Fortress and has a rejuvenating effect. It has been consecrated by a famous master to ward off evil and drive away bad luck..."

The auctioneer pompously introduced the bangle, leaving Yan Jinyi dumbfounded.

'Why don't I know that the wooden bangle that the crew bought for a few yuan for the filming has such an impressive historical background?'

She had merely taken it away casually.

"The starting bid is 200,000 yuan. The auction begins now."

The people in the audience looked at each other thinking to themselves that the bangle was definitely not worth 200,000 yuan, and that only a fool would buy them.

After a long time, no one raised the sign.

Yan Jinyi looked at Tang Qing with displeasure.

Tang Qing crossed his legs and placed his hands on the back of his head, as if the matter didn't concern him at all.

'How dare that rogue Tang Qing embarra.s.s me? Outrageous.'

"Jinyi, why don't I..."

"I must make Tang Qing spend a large sum of money today."

Yan Jinyi raised her sign and said, "210,000 yuan."

After she said that, everyone turned to look at her.

"Who is that? How come I haven't seen her before?"

"She's quite pretty and she seemed elegant too. She should be the daughter of a certain wealthy family, right?"

"The one sitting next to her looks a bit like the Huo Family's daughter-in-law."

"I never got the chance to meet Young Mistress Huo."

After placing her bid, Yan Jinyi slowly looked down at Tang Qing.

Tang Qing happened to look over and Yan Jinyi raised her eyebrows as she slowly gave him a thumbs-up. She mouthed the words, "You're stingier than Huo Xishen!"

Tang Qing's handsome face became sullen when he understood what was going on.

Huo Xishen was his number one rival and he hated being compared to Huo Xishen the most.

'Outrageous.'

He raised the sign without hesitation and said, "250,000 yuan."

'Oh?'

Satisfied with his action, Yan Jinyi continued to raise her sign. "250,000.50."

'There must be something wrong with Yan Jinyi's brains. Others obviously won't buy this bangle. I'm only offering 250,000 yuan for her sake.'

Slightly angered, Tang Qing glared at Yan Jinyi with displeasure.

Yan Jinyi continued to look at him alluringly and said in a clear and sweet voice, "I didn't expect Mr. Tang to like this bangle too."

'I'm forced to compete with you!'

'd.a.m.n it, I can't let her label me as a miser. Otherwise, I'd be thoroughly embarra.s.sed.'

Gritting his teeth, Tang Qing raised his sign again. "400,000."

"400,000.50."

"450,000..."

The crowd watched as Tang Qing and Yan Jinyi competed for the bangle.

'But what's wrong with that woman? Why does she only raise the price by fifty cents every time she places her bid? Is she that stingy?'
