Tao Yue and Zhuang Che were hurting each other for a while. Tan Rou and Tao Zhi were also forced to listen to their nonsense. If the auction wasnât about to start, they would have changed seats right now. Zhuang Che and Tao Yue finally stopped being annoying when the auction started.
However, Tan Rou was still uninterested. Every time the auction item came out, she would only take a look. After looking at it, she would turn her attention to her phone. Her fingers were quickly tapping on the screen with a smile on her face.
Tao Yue had been paying attention to Tan Rouâs movements. She noticed that Tan Rou had been looking at her phone with a sweet smile on her face. She guessed that Tan Rou must have some secrets. As far as Tao Yue knew, this kind of smile would only appear when they were in love and sending messages to their partners.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Was Tan Rou in love?
âEldest cousin, why arenât you looking at the auction items?â Tao Yue craned her neck to look at Tan Rouâs phone. âWho are you texting? Why are you so happy?â
Tan Rou frowned slightly. She turned off her phone screen and replied, âYou should keep your eyes on the auction. Why are you paying attention to me? Besides, this is my privacy. 1 donât have to tell you.â
âIs there anything that Rourou likes?â Tao Zhi asked when he heard Tan Rou and Tao Yue talking. â1 think this bracelet is pretty good. Should I bid for it?â
The item being auctioned now was a jade bracelet. The color and quality of the bracelet were good, and both young girls and women could wear it.
Tan Rou was not interested in this. Instead of spending so much money on this jade bracelet, she might as well use the money elsewhere.
âThis bracelet will definitely look good on fair-skinned people.â Tao Yue also took a fancy to this. âI really want to bid for it.â
Tan Rou observed Tao Yueâs expression and found that she really liked the bracelet. She said, âThis bracelet looks really good. 1 canât go back empty-handed after coming here today. Why donât we bid for this bracelet?â
Tao Yue didnât want to give the bracelet to Tan Rou. She was still considering it, but after hearing that Tan Rou liked the bracelet, Tao Yue had to buy it back.
Jade bracelets were very expensive. The starting price of this bracelet was 800,000.
Tan Rou casually raised her number tag. â1 bid 850,000.â
Tao Yue was stunned for a moment, but she still raised her number tag and added 20,000 yuan. â870,000 yuan.â
A lady bid 900,000, and Tan Rou followed with 950,000. After bidding, she didnât forget to provoke Tao Yue.
âThis jade bracelet looks good. Iâll buy it for my mother. Sheâll definitely like it.â Tan Rou said.
Since Tan Rou said so, Tao Yue couldnât back down. She continued to raise the bid.
Tan Rou decided to raise the bid one last time. If she won the bid, she would give it to her mother. If she couldnât win it, then forget it. She didnât really want it anyway.
â1.1 million!â Tan Rou made her final bid.
The lady who was competing also knew Tan Rou. Seeing that Tan Rou kept bidding, she thought that Tan Rou really wanted to bid for the bracelet. In order to leave a good impression on the eldest daughter of the Tao family, the noblewoman gave up on this auction.
Tao Yue raised the bid. Tan Rou bid 1.1 million, but she didnât even raise it to 50,000. She directly raised it to 1.25 million.
To be honest, the price of the jade bracelet had reached a maximum of one million. There was no need to raise it any higher. Tao Yue knew the value of the bracelet, but she didnât want to give it to Tan Rou.
Tan Rou put down her number tag.
Tao Yue saw her put down the number tag and her mind suddenly cleared up.
Tan Rou smiled. âSince Second Cousin likes this bracelet so much, then I wonât fight with her.â
âWait⦠Wait a minute!â Tao Yue wanted to stop the host from bidding.
However, the host had already started. â1.25 million going once, 1.25 million going twice, 1.25 million going thrice! Congratulations, Lady Seventeen, for winning this auction item!â he said loudly.
Tao Yueâs palms were sweaty. How could she have so much money to pay?
Tao Yue suddenly remembered what Grandma Tao said about reimbursement. Grandma Tao said that Tan Rou could get reimbursement from Grandpa Tao. Could she get reimbursement too?
Tan Rou never did business that would be a loss. This bracelet was worth at most one million yuan. She would not buy it for more than one million. The reason why she was bidding today was because she wanted Tao Yue to be the sucker..
