Chapter 347
The Profligate Madam of the Family
Translator: 549690339
the host was really confused and didnât know how to introduce it, even though the calligraphy looked really well-written and seemed to be written by a famous author.
however, the problem was that no matter how good the word was, it was not written by a famous person. the person who wrote it was a little girl, a little girl with no reputation or status.
she was just a big star or a big missy. that was better than nothing.
who would be willing to buy such a painting?
although the necklace had shocked everyone, it had been worn by the eldest daughter of the xu family. she was the niece of the nether abyss empireâs second-in-command.
of course, the auctioneer was still the auctioneer. although the words and the person who wrote them seemed to be worthless, he still praised them.
the person who wrote the words had no status, so it didnât matter if the words werenât written by a famous master.
the main point was that this piece of calligraphy was good.
it was so well-written that it could naturally be praised.
the auctioneer used all the nice words he knew to praise the calligraphy.
of course, no matter how much the auctioneer praised it, it was useless to say that this calligraphy would be very valuable in the future. many people in the audience did not believe it.
no one had expected leng rongrong to be even more perfunctory than xu rourou.
she had so many valuable things on her, and she couldnât bear to take out a single one to auction, but she just took out a piece of calligraphy to auction?
and it was written at the last minute.
did she really think that she was a master-level character, that a piece of calligraphy could be sold for a sky-high price?
xu rule seized the opportunity. of course, she would not let leng rongrong off so easily. she turned around and said sarcastically, â miss leng, didnât you say that we canât even compare to a single strand of your hair? why did you take out such a piece of calligraphy to auction? are you perfunctory with the family? since you canât bear to, then donât even write. the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone were all prepared for you, what did you pay?â
âwhat did i pay? i wrote, i did.â leng rongrong looked at xu rule. â second miss, youâre going overboard with your words. to be honest, i think my words are quite valuable. youâve already said that a single strand of my hair is more precious than your entire being. then, the words i write must be even more precious!â
xu ru le was speechless.
âmoreover, miss xu, even if you donât like my writing, you canât be so sure that you donât like other peopleâs!â
âiâm not asking you to buy it, why are you so excited?â
âsecond miss xu, you didnât organize this charity auction, did you? the charity funds werenât used on you, so why are you so angry? if second miss xu feels that other peopleâs donations are too little, you should contribute more. after all, you are the most favored second miss of the xu family, arenât you? are you so poor that you can only donate one necklace?â
leng rongrong looked xu rule up and down a few times with a disdainful look, then said, â forget it. if youâre really that poor, just pretend i didnât say anything. â
âyouâre so silly!â
the people around them started to make a fuss. â thatâs right, second miss xu, canât you put in more effort? â
xu rule glared at leng rongrong.
âthe bracelet on second miss xuâs wrist is not bad. arenât you going to donate it? i see that second miss xu is so kind and even blames us for not putting in enough money and effort. in that case, you should put in more effort!â
leng rongrong said with a half-smile.
many people around were looking at xu rule. xu ruleâs heart ached for her, but she thought that if her little uncle could help xu rourou bid for the necklace, he would definitely help her bid for her bracelet too.
to save face and to show her generosity, xu ru le smiled and said, â okay, iâll donate my bracelet then. â although itâs one that i really like, itâs only right to do charity. iâm not like some people who donât want to donate anything they have and just write a piece of calligraphy to brush it off.â
xu ru le really took out her bracelet.
the corners of leng rongrongâs lips curved up slightly, her face black-bellied, not caring at all about what xu rule said.
the calligraphy and painting were still being auctioned.
leng rongrong was the one who said the starting price. â 30 million. â
therefore, when the auctioneer announced the price, everyone present was shocked.
â damn, itâs not even a work of a famous artist, and the starting price is already 30 million. although such a piece of calligraphy is pretty, i think the starting price is at most 300 yuan! â
â three hundred is a little too much. i think iâll consider it if itâs three thousand. â
âthat miss leng seems to be very good at accumulating wealth. she wouldnât want to bid for her own calligraphy, right? if thereâs no one else, sheâll have to buy it herself to ease the awkwardness.â
there were whispers around.
every time she heard these whispers that were unfavorable to leng rongrong, xu rule would be particularly happy.
she was looking forward to leng rongrong making a fool of herself.
but who would have thought that after the starting bid of 30 million was announced, many people would actually start to fight for it.
â50 million!â
âeighty million!â
âi bid 90 million!â
â100 million, no room for discussion. this is mine!â
âiâve seen this kind of writing at old master li jinshuâs place before. it seems to be in old master li jinshuâs collection! i bid 110 million!â
âli jinshu? that chinese art master? that great artist?â
âold master li jinshuâs collection? then iâll bid 200 million!â
âspeaking of which, these words are indeed powerful. itâs even better than some of the calligraphy mastersâ. itâs worth collecting!â
just like that, as they talked, everyone seemed to realize that leng rongrongâs handwriting was very good, and it was very classic. then, they began to bid for it.
in just a few minutes, the price was raised again and again, and it was countless times more exaggerated than xu rourouâs necklace.
in the end, it reached a price of more than one billion.
it was as if money wasnât even money, but just a number.
everyone was very crazy. there were a few people who were good at calligraphy and painting, and they were almost about to fight. each of them looked determined to win.
leng rongrong was calm and composed.
xu ru le was in disbelief, and many people who didnât know much about calligraphy and painting were also dumbfounded.
what was going on?
wasnât this calligraphy written by that miss leng?
she was just a little girl who wasnât very famous, so why was everyone fighting over her so fanatically?
isnât this too exaggerated?
âdonât tell me you hired all these people?â xu rule turned around and glanced at leng rongrong. she could not believe that so many people were bidding crazily just because of the charm of this calligraphy.
âhire? you can think this way too. you canât afford to hire them anyway.â leng rongrong shrugged her shoulders, showing an indifferent attitude.
â f * ck you! â xu rule felt that every time she spoke to leng rongrong, she would be so angry that she would feel like she was suffocating, unable to let it out nor swallow it down. it was too infuriating.
at this moment, the climax came.
mo linyuan and tang luo had just finished discussing the business worth hundreds of billions of yuan when they heard everyone bidding for calligraphy and paintings.
