Chapter 185: Chapter 185: The Golden Dragon in the White Jade
Yang Hao’s face contorted with frustration and anger as he glared at Xiao Yifeng, taking several deep breaths to suppress his rage or he felt he might actually explode.
"Mr. Xiao really is formidable," he conceded with forced grace. "The ’Tears of the Goddess’ should go to Mr. Xiao then."
With this statement, Yang Hao managed to save some face for himself.
"Why should you let it go, Young Master Yang? I really don’t like it when others do that," Xiao Yifeng said with a grin, looking at Yang Hao. "Why not continue the bidding? Let’s decide this with our abilities, shall we?"
Hearing Xiao Yifeng’s words, Yang Hao had the urge to kick him fiercely multiple times; that bastard was just unrelenting when he had the upper hand.
Yang Hao, the proud heir of Yang Corporation, Young Master of the Yang Family, had never found himself in such an embarrassing situation before, and he truly felt the impulse to keep raising the price.
But his better judgment told him not to act recklessly. He knew that if Xiao Yifeng dared to provoke him like this, the funds at his disposal were unimaginably immense, and he simply couldn’t compete. Otherwise, the entire Yang Corporation might be at stake.
Taking a deep breath, Yang Hao smiled and said, "No need, since Mr. Xiao intends to gift the ’Tears of the Goddess’ to his fiancée, I wouldn’t dream of taking what another desires."
After finishing his statement, Yang Hao sat down, shut his mouth, and didn’t give Xiao Yifeng another chance to speak.
Xiao Yifeng’s lips curled into a devilishly charming smile that radiated a special charisma, causing Ye Yaxin’s gaze to flicker continuously beside him.
At this moment, Mo Shumei on the stage gave Xiao Yifeng a deep look and said, "All right, the bid for the ’Tears of the Goddess,’ a jewel of unparalleled prestige, has reached fifty billion by Mr. Xiao. Is there anyone else who wishes to bid?"
"Fifty billion for the first time!"
"Fifty billion for the second time!"
"Fifty billion for the third time, sold!"
Mo Shumei swiftly brought down the gavel, confirming that the ’Tears of the Goddess’ had fallen into Xiao Yifeng’s hands.
At that point, Xiao Yifeng stood up and walked toward the stage. Looking at Mo Shumei, he handed over his Purple Card and said with a smile, "Miss Mo, please deduct the fifty billion directly from this card. I’ll take the ’Tears of the Goddess’ with me now."
Immediately after, Xiao Yifeng took the fifty-billion-valued ’Tears of the Goddess’ and walked back down, causing all the onlookers to fix their gaze on him.
"My dear fiancée, allow me to place the ’Tears of the Goddess’ around your neck now," he said.
Xiao Yifeng approached Ye Yaxin with a smile, uttering the words with impeccable politeness.
At this moment, Xiao Yifeng exuded an overwhelming gentlemanly charm that was quite captivating; even Ye Yaxin was momentarily stunned into silence.
Xiao Yifeng then carefully placed the jewel, the ’Tears of the Goddess’—worth fifty billion—around Ye Yaxin’s neck, adding an endless allure to her.
All the women present filled their eyes with immense envy, wishing they were Ye Yaxin and hoping their men would spend fifty billion on jewelry for them.
But that was merely wishful thinking, for there were not many men like Xiao Yifeng, who treated money as if it were nothing.
From a distance, Qin Wanting’s eyes also shimmered with envy as she watched Xiao Yifeng, her gaze carrying a touch of distinct admiration.
Only when the ’Tears of the Goddess’ had been placed on Ye Yaxin did she snap back to reality. Staring at the jewel on her neck, her expression unchanged, she looked at Xiao Yifeng, ready to speak.
"Don’t say anymore, this is a gift I, your fiancé, have personally given to you. Do you really intend to refuse it? If you don’t wish to accept, then go ahead and throw it away."
Xiao Yifeng smiled and took his seat again. Ye Yaxin looked at the Tears of the Goddess necklace that sparkled around her neck but ultimately said nothing. To throw away jewelry worth five billion was an extravagance she had yet to afford.
"Alright, ladies and gentlemen, we are now down to the last piece of jewelry in this auction. This piece is a jade, acquired unexpectedly by my father."
"However, this jade is quite special. We have consulted numerous antiquities experts, all of whom are unable to identify the type of jade it is. Moreover, its material is so unique that it seems unbreakable no matter what methods are used. It truly is an extraordinary piece of jade."
As Mo Shumei’s voice echoed through the room, a maid brought up a tray and lifted the red cloth to reveal a piece of white jade before everyone’s eyes. Its lustrous sheen made it indeed look like a fine piece of jade.
"Miss Mo, are you certain this jade can’t be shattered? How can there be jade that’s unbreakable in this world?"
A man couldn’t help but speak up, expressing his skepticism, and the rest nodded in agreement—it was absurd to suggest jade could be unbreakable.
"Since you all do not believe, I’ll prove it to you."
Mo Shumei said, gesturing with her hand as a burly man who weighed at least over 200 pounds came forward with a sledgehammer, looking very formidable.
"Now, you all may witness."
Mo Shumei placed the jade on the ground and stepped aside. The man swung the sledgehammer with both hands and, with a shout, smashed it down hard on the jade.
Boom!
The violent roar made everyone’s eardrums buzz and hearts tremble; however, when they turned their eyes back to the scene, their expressions changed.
To their astonishment, not a single crack appeared on the white jade under the heavy hammer’s strike. Instead, several cracks opened on the floor beneath the jade. When Mo Shumei picked up the white jade, it was still intact, shocking everyone present.
"What kind of jade is this? How can it be so hard!"
The crowd exclaimed in amazement, but at that moment, Xiao Yifeng’s eyes flickered with a blue light as he stared at the white jade, his expression changing dramatically. Under his perceptive gaze, he actually saw a Five-clawed Golden Dragon within the white jade.
Indeed, there was a golden Five-clawed Golden Dragon, the fabled Divine Dragon of China.
Although the Golden Dragon appeared to be in slumber, the sudden encounter with the legendary Divine Dragon from Chinese lore was still greatly shocking to Xiao Yifeng. It seemed this piece of white jade was truly extraordinary.
"Alright, the bidding starts now. The opening bid is 500,000, with each increment no less than 100,000."
Mo Shumei announced directly. Although the jade did not appear particularly precious, its unique material had piqued the interest of many collectors who eagerly vied for it.
"Wanting, I believe Elder Qin must be interested in this unusual piece of jade. Let me bid for it on your behalf."
Du Wenxing looked at Qin Wanting as he spoke, directly bidding five million, while Qin Wanting’s expression remained very calm.
"Ten million!"
Suddenly, Xiao Yifeng’s voice rang out again, startling everyone. This man had raised the bid once more, leaving Du Wenxing with an extremely unsightly expression.
