Just as Fu Yuheng raised his bidding paddle again, the door of the box creaked open from the outside.
The next second, Fu Zici tiptoed inside.
"Zici, did you go and give that rebellious son a talking-to?"
Fu Yuheng didn't even look up and spoke directly.
And the rebellious son he was referring to was none other than Fu Zicong.
"It can't be considered a talking-to. I just told him that Dad and Mom are sitting in Box Number One. As long as he's not stupid, he should know what to do."
Hearing this, Fu Zici didn't hide it either. A look of composure was on her cold and beautiful face. She gave a light "hmm" and spoke softly.
Fu Yuheng snorted coldly upon hearing this, and then stopped pursuing the matter.
He tilted his head slightly, glancing towards Box Number Eight with displeasure in his eyes.
How could he, Fu Yuheng, have produced such a son?
Forget it!
He hadn't expected anything from this son from the start anyway.
His eldest daughter, Fu Zici, was the heir he favored.
Fortunately, aside from this troublesome son, his daughters were all outstanding, each one a credit to him.
In the future, he could rest assured handing the Fu Family over to his seven daughters!
"Dad, I heard that the people in Box Number Two are a couple in love. According to the staff, they seem to be very affectionate. The man even said privately beforehand that he came to this auction to bid on Emperor Xiaozong of Ming's Dragon and Phoenix Jade Pendant to propose to his girlfriend."
Fu Zici thought for a moment, then spoke softly.
Fu Zici had just been out, not only to the number eight box, where she warned her foolish younger brother, but also to inquire about the situation of the person next door who was participating in the auction with her father.
The above was what she had found out.
She then reported it truthfully to Father Fu.
"Oh? Is that so? This young man is quite thoughtful!"
Fu Yuheng, Father Fu, raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.
He developed a hint of goodwill towards this young man he had never met.
Fu Yuheng was a man who valued relationships, and his feelings for his wife, Luo Huiying, were unwavering.
Therefore, he also admired men who were equally devoted in their affections.
What he hated most was someone like Fu Zicong, a playboy who flitted from one woman to another, a heartless playboy.
This was also the reason why Fu's father disliked Fu Zicong, even feeling that he was nothing like his own son.
His old father, with his black hair, was so faithful in his feelings, yet his son was so promiscuous. How could this be acceptable?
However, the young man from next door, whose name he didn't know, really suited Fu Yuheng's taste.
And just as Fu Yuheng was secretly pondering this, the person in the second private room next door once again raised their bidding card:
"Two hundred million!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue erupted in an uproar again—
"Jeez, two hundred million! That's two hundred million!"
"Wow, who exactly is the big shot in box number two? They actually spent two hundred million to bid on this jade pendant? I'm impressed!"
"It's absolutely inhumane! Didn't you notice that Young Master Fu has already dropped out of the bidding? Now it seems like it's a showdown between the mysterious person in box number one and the wealthy big shot in box number two. Both of them have plenty of money. Who will end up with this Dragon and Phoenix Jade Pendant is really hard to say!"
Hearing everyone's whispers, Fu Yuheng raised an eyebrow. He was about to raise his bid again when his wife, Luo Huiying, who was sitting next to him, stopped him.
"Honey, forget it! I don't want this Dragon and Phoenix Jade Pendant anymore," Luo Huiying said, pulling on Fu Yuheng's arm and shaking her head.
Seeing this, Fu Yuheng was taken aback, then raised an eyebrow.
"Why not? Honey, didn't you really like this Dragon and Phoenix Jade Pendant? Don't worry about saving money for me. Two hundred million is nothing to me, Fu Yuheng!"
Luo Huiying was amused by her own, so proud husband.
This man! How old is he, and he's still like this.
That damn strong desire to win.
Tsk tsk.
"Honey, I'm not trying to save you money. It's just that I want to help the young man next door fulfill his wish."
Luo Huiying chuckled, then couldn't help but cough lightly, and said softly.
"Since the young man next door intends to buy this Dragon and Phoenix Jade Pendant to propose to his girlfriend, let's not steal someone's love."
At this point, Luo Huiying paused. Seeing that her husband was about to speak, she raised her well-maintained hand and covered Fu Yuheng's thin lips:
"Yes! I do quite like this Dragon and Phoenix Jade Pendant. But, more than the pendant itself, I love the story behind it—the story of Emperor Xiaozong of Ming and Empress Zhang, who were devoted to each other for their entire lives. But, honey, I think we're even happier than Emperor Xiaozong and Empress Zhang."
"Look, this year, we've already walked through thirty years of a happy marriage together. Emperor Xiaozong, however, died young. No matter how good his relationship with Empress Zhang was, they weren't as happy as we are. So, why should we be so fixated on buying their token of love as our wedding anniversary gift? Don't you think?"
"I think it's better to help others. Fulfilling the wishes of those young people is even better!"
Luo Huiying said softly.
She slowly expressed her thoughts.
"Well, dear, you're right! Then… let's do as you said!"
Hearing this, Fu Yuheng, who had originally intended to raise his paddle again, pondered for a moment and nodded.
After saying this, the couple looked at each other and smiled.
Just like that, Fu Yuheng gave up on vying for the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Pendant.
At this point, no one else raised their paddles.
"Two hundred million, once! Is there anyone who will bid higher than two hundred million?"
Seeing that no one had raised their paddles to bid for a long time, the host on the stage hurriedly spoke loudly.
Seeing this situation, the crowd whispered again:
"Eh, the person in the number one box hasn't continued to raise their paddle."
"Is the number one box planning to give up on bidding?"
"Yeah, I think so! After all, it's two hundred million. That's a sky-high price. Continuing to add to it wouldn't be worth it. Do you really think they're stupid and have too much money?"
"I think, even if they wanted to, they wouldn't be able to. Two hundred million, do you think it's two yuan? Is it something they can just pull out?"
...
"Two hundred million, second time! Anyone else want to bid?"
Seeing that no one else was bidding, the host shouted again.
However, all he got was indifference.
After Fu Zicong and the mysterious rich person in the first box had successively given up bidding, who would dare to jump out and continue bidding?
No way.
In fact, the host on the stage knew this too.
So, after briefly scanning the hall and confirming that no one was going to bid again, he directly made the final decision:
"Two hundred million, third time! Sold! This auction's final item has been won by the VIP in box number two. Congratulations to the VIP in box number two!"
