Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 655 - 656: Xiao Tianyu Has No Money?

The chairmen of the four major groups watched their sons lavishly spending for a woman, feeling a pang of distress, even though their companies were worth over billions. If they continued squandering like this, bankruptcy might not be far away.

However, so what?

They couldn't stop it; otherwise, they'd become a laughingstock.

After all, these people were well-known figures in Fengzhou City, and they didn't want to be ridiculed. At most, they'd teach these wastrels a lesson when they got home.

"Two and a half billion!" At this moment, Murong Bai directly raised the price to two and a half billion, causing many affluent young heirs around to shut their mouths. This was already a sky-high price, making Murong Bai the brightest presence here.

"Is there any offer higher than two and a half billion?" The host asked loudly.

"Higher? Higher my ass! It's already two and a half billion, how can it go higher?" someone sneered, as such an amount could bankrupt many enterprises, and no one dared to raise the bid.

Even He Yun and others fell silent, understanding that Murong Bai was determined to win, making further competition unnecessary, as being too aggressive could harm relationships.

However, their girlfriends were not pleased, resorting to pinching or squeezing.

They said they'd personally adorn me with the Blue Sea Star, turns out it's all bullshit.

Hmph~

Blue Sea Star, just like that, was auctioned off by Murong Bai? Unwilling, if I were Murong Bai's girlfriend, wouldn't it be amazing? I'd probably be the most dazzling woman now.

Soon, many people's eyes turned to Gu Yunxi, saying, "Really don't understand what this woman is thinking, breaking off an engagement to like a poor loser. Even if that poor loser has some looks, there's no need to ditch Murong Bai."

Yet Gu Yunxi wore an indifferent expression, showing no regret.

The more Gu Yunxi acted thus, the more dissatisfied Murong Bai felt. Was she pretending? Was she intentionally acting this way for him?

Thus, Murong Bai spoke, "Today, my purchase of this Blue Sea Star was originally to gift a woman, only it's a pity this woman doesn't know how to cherish and insists on..."

"Three billion!" However, before Murong Bai could finish, a calm voice resounded in the hall, reaching everyone's ears.

Swish, swish, swish~

Instantly, everyone's gaze turned to Xiao Tianyu. It was clear that the voice originated from Xiao Tianyu.

What, three billion?

He offered three billion?

What's going on?

We just want to ask if you have that kind of money?

Sure you're not joking?

The people present were shocked by Xiao Tianyu's statement. Just now, during the auction for cosmetics, this guy was humiliated by Murong Pengfei without a word, and now he wants to buy the Star of the Sea for three billion?

Is it necessary to fake wealth like that?

At this moment, sitting at the top, Gu Yunxi's beautiful eyes looked at Xiao Tianyu. This guy finally couldn't hold back and wanted to make a move? Who is he buying the Star of the Sea for? For me?

Gu Yunxi was well aware that if Xiao Tianyu made a move, he was determined to win the Star of the Sea.

Then, Xiao Tianyu lightly said, "Before it ends, do you think this Star of the Sea is yours?"

It was clear to everyone whom Xiao Tianyu's words were directed at, as just moments ago Murong Bai had arrogantly claimed, "Today, my purchase of this Blue Sea Star was originally to gift a woman, only it's a pity this woman doesn't know how to cherish..."

"Interesting!" Murong Pengfei sneered, since Xiao Tianyu was offering his face for a slap, he didn't mind adding a couple more. So, he stood up and said, "This person doesn't have three billion; the most he owns is a villa, worth at most a few billion. I request an investigation into his account!"

As these words echoed, many judges exchanged glances, clearly not believing Xiao Tianyu had three billion, as Xiao Tianyu was an obscure figure in the financial world they'd never seen.

"I agree!" Murong Bai sneered, "I've already researched his background earlier; apart from being an Ancient Martial Artist, he owns no assets. How could he produce three billion? I personally feel he's trying to save face in front of Gu Yunxi and faking wealth!"

"Idiot!" Xiao Tianyu murmured.

What else could these people be but idiots? If Xiao Tianyu didn't have money, he could simply choose not to participate in the auction. Those words, even if shameful, wouldn't compare to the disgrace of participating in an auction only to be found out as penniless.

Thus, Xiao Tianyu labeled Murong Bai and Murong Pengfei as idiots.

"Since both young masters have spoken so, the auction is temporarily halted!" A judge called loudly, then glanced at the host.

The host immediately understood, turning to Xiao Tianyu, "Sir, to prevent any disturbances, please present your proof. Whether it's fixed assets or cash, as long as you can prove your qualification to bid, the auction will proceed, so, apologies!"

"Exposed, going to be embarrassed!" Murong Pengfei mocked, "Without enough assets and still faking wealth, truly interesting!"

Xiao Tianyu ignored it, taking a gold card from his pocket and handing it to a staff member, who then gave it to the host. The host was slightly stunned, observing the card's back depicted a networked Earth, and the front showed a vivid Golden Dragon, yet it wasn't a bank card from any known institution.

A moment later, the host said, "Sir, apologies, your card isn't from any major bank, hence it can't confirm any cash within!"

"Acting pretentious suffers divine retribution, right?"

"Embarrassing to watch!"

"Alas, if you love acting like this, choose the right occasion. But coming to a financial conference to act pretentious, isn't it clearly asking for trouble?"

"..."

Mocking voices arose around, suggesting that relying on a seemingly unknown gold card granted bidding eligibility. Did he think the card was made of golden diamonds, and even if so, it wasn't worth that much?

Alas, how could Gu Yunxi like such a man? I'm way better than him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now you see, this guy is indeed a lunatic. I suggest immediately expelling him from Olympic Hall, and let Murong Bai have the Star of the Sea!" Cui Yongyuan declared loudly.

Obviously a poor loser, and still pretending to be wealthy; what else could it be but madness?

"This..." The host hesitated, realizing even if Xiao Tianyu was far from competent, he was brought by Gu Yunxi, who held an invitation card.

"Announce the result first!" a judge commented calmly.

"Okay!" The host nodded, "To everyone present, if there are no further bids, the final sale will be at the price of two and a half billion!"
