Chapter 184: Chapter 184 The Prodigal Son

Every sentence of Yang Hao’s remarks was brimming with irony, and he took the opportunity to provoke Xiao Yifeng. If Xiao didn’t bid on the Tears of the Goddess, he would be thoroughly humiliated and become the butt of a joke.

If he did enter the bidding, he couldn’t use the Ye Corporation’s money; otherwise, he would be despised and mocked by everyone. Only then would he have to use his own funds to purchase the invaluable Tears of the Goddess.

Although Yang Hao hadn’t uncovered Xiao Yifeng’s identity, he believed that the latter certainly didn’t have the means to buy the Tears of the Goddess on his own. All of this was clearly a trap he had set.

"Xiao Yifeng, let’s go," said Ye Yaxin to Xiao Yifeng, unable to refrain herself. Clearly, she knew that expecting Xiao Yifeng to come up with hundreds of millions to bid for the Tears of the Goddess was out of the question.

Moreover, Yang Hao would surely continue bidding, and by that time, the price might go beyond hundreds of millions to over a billion.

"What’s the matter, my dear wife? Don’t you believe in my ability?" Xiao Yifeng said, a teasing smile forming at the corner of his mouth, pondering whether he should call Lei Bao to borrow some money. Otherwise, he truly didn’t have enough on him.

All his money had been taken by the old man; Xiao couldn’t help but curse the old guy a few times in his heart for not leaving him any funds and for causing him such embarrassment.

"Mr. Xiao, a lady asked me to give this to you," a young man suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Yifeng, holding a purple bank card in his hand.

When Xiao Yifeng saw the purple bank card, his pupils contracted slightly, and a peculiar expression flashed across his face. Ye Yaxin, standing beside him, was initially startled upon seeing the purple bank card and then her expression changed.

"Thank you," said Xiao Yifeng, taking the card and revealing a mysterious smile on his lips.

"Aren’t you going to bid, Mr. Xiao?" Yang Hao sneered as he looked at Xiao Yifeng. "In that case, the Tears of the Goddess will be mine."

"Who said I wasn’t going to bid? I’m just wondering how much I should spend for the Tears of the Goddess. After all, I don’t have such a wealthy father as Young Master Yang, who can frivolously squander his wealth," Xiao Yifeng casually replied.

"You..." Yang Hao’s face contorted with anger, his eyes flashing with fury as he coldly said, "Well then, Mr. Xiao, please make your bid."

"Five billion!"

Xiao Yifeng suddenly remarked, prompting a twitch at the corners of the onlookers’ mouths.

This guy had just criticized others for wasteful spending, but now he had increased his bid by two billion in one go, which made him seem even more extravagant.

However, Yang Hao’s expression darkened, suspicion in his eyes as he glanced at Xiao Yifeng and said, "Mr. Xiao is being quite generous. You haven’t taken a considerable amount of money from your fiancée already, have you?"

"To bid for something by borrowing money from one’s own wife is pretty lame. Don’t worry, Young Master Yang, not a penny of my bid today will come from the Ye Corporation," Xiao Yifeng declared with confidence.

"Good to hear that!" Yang Hao’s eyes flickered with a sinister look, as he directly bid, "Seven billion!"

"Nine billion!"

Xiao Yifeng stated firmly, raising the bid by two billion with an unchanging expression, as though it was nothing to him.

"Ten billion!"

Yang Hao called out coldly.

"Twelve billion!"

Xiao Yifeng continued to outbid Yang Hao by one billion.

By now, no one else at the venue was calling out bids, as it had become a show of rivalry between the two men. Their casual addition of billions was beyond comprehension to the spectators, who couldn’t help but marvel at the way they seemed to treat money like it was nothing.

"15 billion!"

Yang Hao’s expression was grave as he called out, his face already looking somewhat unpleasant. He had not expected Xiao Yifeng to keep up with the bidding, wondering where this guy was getting all this money from.

"20 billion!"

This time, Xiao Yifeng directly added 5 billion, once again shocking those Tianhai elites present, even Ye Yaxin’s mouth hung open in astonishment.

Qin Wanting, watching Xiao Yifeng from a distance, had flashes of intrigue in her eyes, while Du Wenxing let out a dissatisfied snort.

"You..."

Yang Hao’s eyes fiercely stared at Xiao Yifeng, his fists clenched tight, his breathing hurried.

"What’s wrong, Young Master Yang? Run out of money? If you have, you should just go home and rest. This isn’t the place for you."

Xiao Yifeng’s lips curled into a teasing smile, his face showing no change in emotion.

"30 billion!"

Yang Hao gave Xiao Yifeng a cold glance and raised the bid by 10 billion. His move made everyone sigh at his craziness; spending 30 billion on jewelry for a woman who already had a fiancé, he was really going all out in pursuit.

Many of the women present looked at Yang Hao with adoring eyes, feeling a sense of being conquered, wishing they were the woman he loved. That would be pure happiness.

"50 billion!"

Xiao Yifeng stated the figure nonchalantly, causing Yang Hao to shudder and nearly spit blood in disbelief.

The entire auction room stared at Xiao Yifeng in a daze, overwhelmed with shock.

Each person present was worth tens of millions, if not billions. Many had net worths over a hundred billion.

For instance, both Yang Corporation and Ye Corporation had assets exceeding a hundred billion. But even for them, coming up with 50 billion in cash wouldn’t be easy.

Let alone spending it on a piece of jewelry; only a madman would do such a thing.

Yang Hao, calling out 30 billion himself, felt a pang in his heart, considering Yang Corporation’s liquid assets barely surpassed a hundred billion.

This 30 billion was an extremely high amount, yet to everyone’s surprise, Xiao Yifeng did not even blink as he raised the bid by 20 billion, instantly taking it to 50 billion.

What did 50 billion represent? It was enough to bury you in hundred-yuan bills, or crush you into pulp with one-yuan coins.

The crowd let out audible gasps of amazement, and even Ye Yaxin’s face was filled with shock as she quickly said, "Xiao Yifeng, have you lost your mind?"

"Wife, how could I be crazy? It’s just 50 billion, consider it a meeting gift from me to you."

Xiao Yifeng said with a smile, and his remark made many in the room feel an urge to vomit blood. Spending 50 billion on a meeting gift was not just being a spendthrift but a super-spendthrift.

For a moment, many wanted to say to Xiao Yifeng: Brother, your family must own a money-printing machine!

Even Ye Yaxin was stunned by Xiao Yifeng’s lavish talk, taking a long time to recover.

"So, Young Master Yang, will you keep raising the bid? If you want, I don’t mind letting the bidding price double."

Xiao Yifeng once again spoke with indomitable swagger, making everyone’s hearts skip a beat. Damn, that was impressive!
