I Was Seduced Into a Marriage After Failing to Charm the Tyrannical Bigshot Chapter 92 – 92 The Big Boss Takes Action

92 The Big Boss Takes Action
When Shen Hanyu found out about the conversation between Wen Hao and Ding Aojia, his eyes were as cold as ice.

It didn't matter what they said about him, but who gave them the guts to misunderstand and insult Sang Qianqian?

He gave some instructions with a sullen face. Guo Muyang and Rong Ce looked at each other and nodded tacitly. Downstairs, the auction had already started.

As the auction items were successfully bid off, the subsequent collections that appeared were increasingly more precious than the previous ones.

Wen Hao came prepared this time; he planned to get three things tonight.

One of them was a painting from the Song Dynasty, and he was going to bid for it as a birthday gift for his father, Wen Gong. One was an icy Violet Jade pendant for his mother. Additionally, there was also a rare pink diamond weighing about 14.83 carats, which was to please Ding Aojia and propose to her.

Wen Hao and Ding Aojia had only been together for half a year, so it was not to the extent that Wen Hao liked Ding Aojia very much.

However, the Ding family had strong assets, and marrying Ding Aojia would undoubtedly become the most powerful backing and support for him to control Zhongwen film and television in the future.

He was determined to get his hands on the three items, especially the pink diamond. Wen Hao had participated in many high-end auctions, so he was quite generous.

In the past, he had basically won every time he bid.

The guests at the event more or less knew his identity. As long as he raised his sign and wanted something, almost no one would go against him to the end. But today, it seemed to be different from any other time.

The starting price of the Violet Jade pendant was 800000. After a few rounds of bidding, Wen Hao's bid directly increased from 1.8 million to 3 million.

“3 million! Guest No. 6, 3 million!”

The auctioneer announced loudly, “Is there anyone else who wants to raise the bid?”

Wen Hao smugly held Ding Aojia in his arms, thinking that no one would bid after them.

However, a sign was slowly raised on the second floor, and the auctioneer immediately raised his voice. “4 million! Is there anyone else who wants to go higher than 4 million?”

Wen Hao frowned. Who was so insensible to challenge him?

“4.5 million!” He raised his sign. Shortly after, the same person raised their board again.

The auctioneer's voice was a little excited. “6 million! 6 million. Are there any other guests who want to follow?”

Ding Aojia couldn't believe it. “Six million for a pendant? Is that person crazy?”

Wen Hao was also shocked. He turned around and glanced at the people on the second floor. The light was dim, and there was a curtain between them, so he couldn't see who was sitting upstairs.

However, the participants who could appear on the second floor's VIP seats were definitely not ordinary. In such a high-end auction, there was no lack of bidders who hid their identities.

The auction company would arrange for them to attend the auction as a mystery guest. Their identities would be kept a secret.

It seemed that he was out of luck today. He had taken a fancy to the same collection as the mysterious guest. Alas, wasting six million on a pendant wasn't worth it, even if it was the rare Violet Jade.

“If that person is willing to be a spendthrift, then let him be.”

Wen Hao pretended to be relaxed. “I'll do him a favor and give him the pendant.”

Soon, Wen Hao's second favorite item, the ink painting “Beautiful Landscape” by a famous painter in the Song Dynasty, was put up for auction.

The starting price of the collection was 7.8 million. After two or three rounds of bidding, Wen Hao directly bid 12 million.

The surrounding bidders went silent. Wen Hao proudly looked around and thought, “You want to compete with me? Can you win?”

Seeing that this painting was about to be taken by Wen Hao, who would've expected the mysterious guest on the second floor to raise their signboard again?

The auctioneer announced excitedly, “20 million! Guest No. 3 has bid 20 million!”

The other party directly added eight million to Wen Hao's price!

A malicious glint flashed across Wen Hao's eyes. Was the person upstairs deliberately going against him?

“23 million!”

It was going to be Wen Gong's birthday soon, and he must have a presentable gift. He could give up the jade pendant, but he must get this painting!

Unexpectedly, the guest on the second floor raised his sign again. “30 million!”

Wen Hao's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. “35 million!”

“40 million,”

“45 million!”

“50 million.”

No matter how much Wen Hao increased the price, the other party always calmly stated another whole price. In the end, this painting actually quoted 80 million!

Everyone was stunned, and only the excited voice of the auctioneer could be heard.

Yun Li had never seen such a scene before and was dumbfounded. “Who on earth is this person? He's actually spending so much money!”

Sang Qianqian shook her head. “I don't know. However, there are many rich people in Ming City. I assume the other party must like this painting very much.”

Yun Li was puzzled. “Really? But why do I feel that they're just targeting Wen Hao?”

“I doubt that's really the case,”

Sang Qianqian guessed, “Maybe they like the same collection as Wen Hao.”

The people who came to the meeting today were all rich and powerful people in Ming City, and they probably see each other all the time. If the other party didn't like the painting, they probably wouldn't have fought with Wen Hao.

After all, Wen Hao had always been high-profile. Everyone in the meeting today knew that he was the Wen family's Second Young Master.

But in this case, the other party didn't mind offending the Wen family to bid for this painting. It was highly likely that they were a serious fan of this collection.

Yun Li laughed. “That Wen Hao is quite unlucky. Haha, I reckon he won't be able to bid for this painting.”

Even though Sang Qianqian didn't know this big shot, she felt inexplicably relieved. Who asked Wen Hao to bully and suppress Wen Xu? Tonight, it was his turn to be stepped on by a more powerful person. Well, it was only a matter of time for karma to hit him.

On the other hand, Wen Hao's face was extremely ugly. If he were to raise the bid again, the price of this painting would probably rise to 100 million.

To spend 100 million to buy a painting with a base price of 7.8 million, even if he dared to buy it, he didn't dare to send it home. If Wen Gong found out about this, he would definitely be scolded and labeled as a prodigal.

“This person is clearly going against you on purpose.”

Ding Aojia's face wasn't any better. “I don't care,” she said angrily. “You must get that pink diamond later! I've already told my friends that your proposal ring is ‘Pink Love'. Don't embarrass me!”

The English name of this rare pink diamond was ‘Pink Love'. When it first appeared in China, the media had been fighting to report about it, and everyone was guessing who would be the winner.

When she found out that Wen Hao was interested in bidding for this pink diamond, Ding Aojia vainly announced this news early. Just as she stepped into the hall, she even posted on her WeChat moments: “Pink Love, here I come!”

The attached picture was an invitation to tonight's high-end auction, as if she was already the owner of the pink diamond.

If Wen Hao couldn't get this pink diamond tonight, where would she put her face?

Wen Hao's face was gloomy. “Don't worry. It's enough to let him have his way twice. This time, I won't let him have his way again!”

That person had snatched what he wanted from him twice, so it was enough, right?

If they knew the rules, they wouldn't fight with him.
