Mr.CEO’s Ex-wife Escapes Again
Chapter 158 - 158 158 A Hundred Million Is she out of her

Chapter 158: Chapter 158: A Hundred Million!! Is she out of her mind? Chapter 158: Chapter 158: A Hundred Million!! Is she out of her mind? “What do you think? I was right, wasn’t I, Han Lina? Next up is the Colorful Glazed Glass Bottle, the grand finale piece of the entire auction, with a base price of no less than fifty million. I’d like to see how you can compete with me now!”

The woman watched Yin Hehe’s changing complexion and gradually revealed that smug look again.

Colorful Glazed Glass Bottle?

Hearing this, Yin Hehe suddenly remembered the gossip of those fine ladies she had overheard upon entering.

It seemed that this was indeed the highlight of the auction.

Should she still bid?

She watched the woman strut away, her pride soaring, as she clenched her fists tightly.

“Little sister, so you’re working for your company, huh? It’s better not to mess around then. You just bid on so many items, who knows if your boss would even agree? And with this Colorful Glazed Glass Bottle up next, he sure won’t want it, and you’ll be in big trouble.”

At this moment, a warm-hearted woman who had been observing their quarrel tried to mediate.

Yin Hehe’s brows furrowed even tighter upon hearing this.

Wasn’t she well aware of this?

She had only come today to bid for gifts to foster goodwill for that man. With the Colorful Glazed Glass Bottle priced at fifty million, he definitely wouldn’t choose such an expensive gift to give away.

Enough, let it end here today.

She finally decided to give up.

“Next, we are going to auction an imperial item from 1700 years ago—the Colorful Glazed Glass Vase—our finale showpiece. This is an extremely rare and precious artifact. Please have your bidding numbers ready.”

Just then, the legendary treasure was brought up for auction.

“Wow~~”

In an instant, when this rare treasure appeared under the lights, everyone was dazzled by the resplendent light it reflected.

Yin Hehe was no exception.

Truly worthy of being the finale piece.

“Mrs. Tang, look, do you like this antique? If you do, I’ll make sure to win it for you today at any cost.”

“This… wouldn’t be good, right?”

Mrs. Tang was practically drooling over the vase at this point.

However, after hearing He Wanqiu’s offer, she gave a token protest.

He Wanqiu smiled, “It’s just a little token of appreciation. Afterwards, as long as Mrs. Tang can arrange for our Xuexue to return to school, that’s all that matters.”

This woman was indeed shrewd to ensure the gift wouldn’t cause Mrs. Tang any awkwardness over the impropriety of accepting it.

She even prepared an excuse for her.

Mrs. Tang’s heart bloomed with joy.

“Ladies and gentlemen, we are now starting the bidding for the Colorful Glazed Glass Vase. Our opening price is twelve million.”

The auction house finally began bidding for this vase.

However, the opening bid took Yin Hehe’s breath away.

Such a high starting bid, and according to auction rules, each bid must increase by at least 10% from the opening price, so the next bidder would have to offer around fifteen million.

Yin Hehe’s face was taut with tension.

“Fifteen million.”

“Twenty million.”

“Thirty million!”

Suddenly, someone in the auction house escalated the bid by ten million, shooting the price up to that figure instantly.

In that instant, everyone turned in surprise, thinking it was Yin Hehe again.

Including He Wanqiu, who had just made a twenty million bid.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t her.

The bidder was another lavishly dressed lady.

“It’s the Shang Family; I remember now. She was the one who mentioned this vase when we were coming in,” reminded the older sister sitting next to Yin Hehe.

Yin Hehe couldn’t help laughing when she heard this.

Now someone else was taking up the fight for her.

“Forty million!”

As expected, once He Wanqiu saw who it was, she angrily tacked on another ten million.

“Fifty million.” However, Mrs. Shang didn’t back down at all.

With a bid of forty million, and considering what Yin Hehe knew about Yin Rong’s family’s financial limits, that should be their utmost capability.

After all, the loss they suffered from the incident at Baiqing Building last time was devastating.

Yin Hehe picked up the tea in front of her and began to drink it leisurely.

But to everyone’s surprise, the woman, seeing that she was about to miss out on this auction item again, bit her lip and stood up with her bidding paddle in hand.

“70 million!”

“…”

The entire auction hall was in shock.

Even Yin Hehe, who was sitting behind, had to stop with the tea that had just reached her lips.

Such a desperate gamble?

It seemed that this woman was staking her entire fortune to win over the rising elite of Jiangbei.

Yin Hehe’s eyes grew a bit colder.

Indeed, Shang Taitian, who was competing with her, upon seeing the price surge to this amount,

started to back down.

70 million, nearly a billion—it wasn’t an amount just any family could easily produce.

“Fine, I’ll let you have this thing today!”

She indeed gave up, her face ashen as she shot the woman a glare before sitting down and putting away her bid number plate.

He Wanqiu was instantly triumphant.

“Mrs. Tang, look, this item is ours now. I’ll bring some jade-faced silk flowers from home later, it will look even better with them inserted.”

“Hmm.”

Mrs. Tang was grinning from ear to ear.

“Don’t worry, from now on we’re family. I’ve heard that your Yin Family’s Baiqing Building has kicked your husband out, right?”

“Exactly.”

“Then you have nothing to fear. I’ll just mention it to Old Tang, the state banquets at Baiqing Building are all arranged by He Li. Now that Old Tang is taking over, which family hosts them is his call, isn’t it?”

Mrs. Tang, to express her gratitude, also presented the woman with a generous gift on the spot.

If Baiqing Building was to lose its signature state banquets,

the business would certainly plummet, and by then, her brother Yin Beixiao would unavoidably be punished by the family clan again.

And with Yin Rong now having this mountain to rely on, wouldn’t it be a piece of cake to get inside?

Yin Hehe’s eyes turned utterly frosty!

“Any further bids? 70 million for the first time.”

“…”

“70 million for the second time!”

“…”

“70 million…”

“100 million!”

It was like a thunderclap out of nowhere!

The whole auction room was taken aback, they turned around in astonishment, only to find that it was Yin Hehe herself.

At that moment, she was holding up her bidding paddle, like a monarch in her domain.

“Han Lina, you bitch, you actually bid 100 million to snatch my item? Do you even have the money to pay for it?”

He Wanqiu saw it too, and immediately, she snapped back to her senses, stood up from her chair, and started screaming at the top of her lungs in their direction.

Yin Hehe paid no attention to her.

Instead, she continued to hold up her paddle, reminding the auctioneer, “100 million, it’s time for you to bring down the hammer.”

“Sorry!”

The auctioneer then raised the gavel apologetically.

Once He Wanqiu saw this, she flew into a rage.

“She is a fraud, don’t be deceived by her, she doesn’t have the money to pay, she’s just a nanny!”

She actually rushed out and threw herself onto the auction stage, screaming her lungs out.

In an instant, with those words released, the auction room was again thrown into an uproar.
