Almighty Sweet Queen is Really Rich!

Chapter 687: Tough Surface

"Interesting, this Miss Ling doesn’t have much money left, so she’s starting to make threats in despair."Mu Qingmei smiled, her long legs lightly crossed, reaching out to grab the peeled nuts on the table.

But her fingers touched a pile of... shells?

Mu Qingmei immediately looked over, Su Li took the plate of peeled nuts from Feng Huaijin and was eating happily.

Mu Qingmei clicked her tongue twice, resigned to peeling them herself, and asked with a smile, "Brother Qi, these threats have reached your head."

Su Li slowly chewed the crispy nuts, her cheeks flushed with a rosy hue, like a hamster searching for food.

"Bidding is bidding, naturally, the highest bidder wins," Su Li said matter-of-factly.

Box 01 was silent, and the crowd was even more astonished.

"Are they still afraid of the Ling Family?"

Another female celebrity agreed in a low voice, "Offending the Ling Family over something unknown is not worth it. If it were me, I’d also choose to let Miss Ling have it."

Yes, who would be so brainless to offend Miss Ling of the Ling Family?

Ling Chenyu’s lips curled into a faint smile, her gaze at Box 01 on the second floor was filled with obvious self-satisfaction.

She looked at the mysterious auction item covered in red cloth, already considering it her property.

She knew no one would dare to offend the Ling Family of Jiangzhou Prefecture over a mysterious item!

"Wait, wait a minute?" The service staff standing at the window of Box 01, specialized in quoting, suddenly changed his expression, exclaiming incredulously.

The audience was bewildered, staring at the service staff with extreme surprise.

What happened?

Ling Chenyu’s heart tightened, wondering if something unexpected had occurred?

The service staff’s expression was somewhat solemn, he adjusted the microphone on his ear, and said seriously, "Please hold on, I’ll confirm first."

A few seconds later, the service staff walked out, his face full of shock, placing his hands on the railing of the second floor, letting the thin, translucent drapes brush across his face, he took a long breath and announced to Ling Chenyu, "The owner of Box 01 claims she will no longer bid."

The restless heart of Ling Chenyu instantly settled upon hearing this.

Next to her, Liu Ying smiled and said, "Chen Yu, I knew there really aren’t many people in Hua Country who dare to offend the Ling Family."

"Haha, what’s the use of sitting in Box 01? They were scared off by you bringing up the entire Ling Family and didn’t dare to bid again."

Ling Chenyu’s worried heart was long gone, as she showed a smug smile.

Who knew the next second, the service staff loudly and excitedly announced, "After this, I will bid directly on behalf of the owner of Box 01. Whatever Miss Ling bids, we will double it!"

What?!

The entire audience was shocked, looking incredulously at the box on the second floor, almost thinking their ears were malfunctioning.

This... is this a direct showdown?

A female celebrity gasped, covering her mouth in shock, "How much financial power does it take to say something like that?"

Miss Ling can raise the bid at will, but the owner of Box 01 has the power to double it over her bid!

The domineering implication of this statement sent shivers down spines, making hair stand on end!

The speculation that the owner of Box 01 submitted to the pressure of the Ling Family was instantly dispelled!

The owner couldn’t care less about bidding personally, just sending a service staff was enough.

He (or she) didn’t regard Miss Ling of the Ling Family at all!

Just that formidable.

In an instant, many people looked at Ling Chenyu with eyes filled with sympathy and pity...
