Chang Ying immediately raised the bid. “8.5 million.”


  Ye Sui’s voice remained slow and leisurely. “9.5 million.”


  Chang Ying said her next bid with some heartache, “11 million.” She didn’t believe that Ye Sui would keep up with her.

  Ye Sui’s voice sounded from next to her. “12 million.”


  Chang Ying: “14.5 million.”


  Ye Sui looked at Chang Ying and said slowly, “15.5 million.”


  Everyone else had stopped bidding by now as they enjoyed the bidding war between Ye Sui and Chang Ying. On the other hand, the price of the jade bracelet was getting higher and higher.

  Ye Sui did not know that Chen Shu had also come to the auction. As soon as she arrived here, he had discovered her and kept an eye on her.

  At the VIP table, Wang Chuan told Chen Shu, “President Chen, Ye Sui is bidding with Chang Ying below.” And the competition was fierce.

  Chen Shu said faintly, “Hmm.”


  Wang Chuan tried to probe, “What are we going to do?” Since Huarui’s Madam was interested in something, President Chen would give her a hand.

  After thinking for a few seconds, Chen Shu calmly replied, “She has her own ideas. Let her do as she pleases. Unless necessary, I won’t interfere.”


  He knew exactly what Ye Sui was thinking: She wanted to seek revenge for him.

  The corner of Chen Shu’s mouth curled up into a smile. No matter what she did, he would indulge her.

  Wang Chuan observed the scene for a while and sniffed out something unusual. “President, Madam’s bidding is very interesting.”


  Chang Ying had increased the price once again, so Ye Sui followed her. But it was only 1 million higher than Chang Ying’s, no more, no less.

  Chen Shu also found it rather intriguing. It was like a cat playing with a mouse; no matter what the mouse tried, it could never escape the cat’s palm.

  Ye Sui was the shrewd cat, while Chang Ying was the mouse. Ye Sui gradually increased the price, leaving a glimmer of hope for Chang Ying.

  However, the one-million-increase also gave Chang Ying a slight illusion that she would never win over Ye Sui.

  In this way, Chang Ying would be full of hope at one moment, then frustrated in the other. Hopeful, frustrated, she was forever cycling between the two emotions.

  Ye Sui would exhaust all of Chang Ying’s patience and hope bit by bit until the very end.

  Chang Ying could not stand it any longer. She took a deep breath and said, “Ye Sui, are you crazy? Paying such a high price just to buy an emerald bracelet!”


  Ye Sui glanced at her and slowly spat out three words, “I don’t mind.”


  Ye Sui then looked askance at Chang Ying and said sarcastically, “The price is a bit high, but is it me who’s afraid now, or you?”


  Chang Ying was once again provoked. She didn’t expect the situation to come to this. She kind of wanted to give up, but……

  The auctioneer had also started feeling uneasy. He asked Chang Ying in a low voice, “Are you still bidding? This amount is too big……”


  Chang Ying thought angrily, ‘Continue, why not?’ At this point, everyone was watching them, so whoever lost would lose face.

  In for a penny, in for a pound.

  Chang Ying: “17 million.”


  Ye Sui: “18 million.”


  Chang Ying finally noticed something amiss: Ye Sui’s price was only 1 million more than hers each time. She always felt as if Ye Sui was playing her. If she dragged on like this, when would it come to an end?

  Chang Ying growled, “Are you really going to fight me to the end?”


  Ye Sui glanced at Chang Ying, and she suddenly smiled before asking in a cold tone, “You think I’m not serious?”


  Ye Sui said word by word, “If you can’t afford it, don’t waste my time.”


  Although Chang Ying was furious, the price was too high. No matter how good the emerald bracelet was, she never thought she would spend so much money on it.

  Chang Ying turned silent.

  Everyone knew that Ye Sui and Chang Ying were going to fight to the end. Anyway, the jade bracelet would either be obtained by Ye Sui or Chang Ying.

  Judging by the situation, it seemed that Ye Sui was more likely to get it.

  At this time, the VIP room door suddenly opened, causing everyone to look at it. They knew that President Chen was sitting in the VIP room. Did he also intend to bid?

  When Ye Sui saw Wang Chuan, she was delighted. Could it be that Chen Shu was also here?

  The auctioneer saw Wang Chuan and asked, “Is President Chen going to bid?”


  Wang Chuan nodded. He casually glanced at Ye Sui before withdrawing his sight, and then he said, “30 million.”


  Wang Chuan’s voice reached everyone’s ears. They hadn’t imagined that President Chen would go so far as to raise the price by more than 10 million! It seemed that he had taken a fancy to the item.

  However, everyone soon thought of another possibility: Chang Ying was now competing with Ye Sui, and Ye Sui was an artist of Huarui.

  Was President Chen doing this to protect Ye Sui?
