Chapter 144 - Chapter 144 A Fool
The more Xiao Tianyi thought about it, the angrier he got. He realized that his actions had been very erratic and, in all honesty, out of character for him.
For him, this was not a good sign.
Xiao Tianyi couldn’t do anything more. ‘Since I have started the fight, should I stop now? If someone finds out that I gave Lun Waner the order then I would not only lose a strategic advantage but also lose face.’
Ultimately, Xiao Tianyi waved his hand and said, “Since things are already the way they are, I’ll just wait and see.”
Yan Jinghong and Yan Qingfeng no longer said anything. Displeased, Yan Qingfeng glared at Yun Qianxue and thought that she really was a troublemaker.
Yun Qianyu and Lu Waner’s bidding war had reached an all-time high price of eighty thousand Liang silver.
When Xiao Tianyi heard this, his face darkened. He had now spent eighty thousand Liang silver to bid for a Skin Regeneration pill. He would probably become a laughing stock for spending so much money on beautifying elixir pills.
In a dilemma and feeling very upset, Xiao Tianyi thought that maybe he should pull out now so that he wouldn’t lose more money and avoid losing face.
However, before he could pass the order to Lu Waner, Yun Qianyu already yelled out, “Miss Lu, you’re once again the better of us two. I give up, the Skin Regeneration pill is yours too.”
Even though Lu Waner didn’t have to actually pay for the elixir pills, she still had an ugly expression on her face, “Thank you for your kind words, Miss Yun.”
However, immediately after Lu Waner said that, Yun Qianyu continued, “Actually, I didn’t want the Face-lift pill or the Skin Regenerative pill. I just wanted to test if someone would try and stop me. After all, I have offended someone earlier.”
After saying that clearly, Yun Qianyu immediately went back into the private room and didn’t say anything more.
However, a heated discussion started to break out on the ground floor. Yun Qianyu’s words perfectly reminded them of one thing, that Lu Waner and Yun Qianyu were not rivals. If that was the case, then Lu Waner must have been instructed to do so.
‘So this person would need to have control over Lu Waner and also have a hatred for Yun Qianyu?’ When people thought about it like that, a clear answer came to their mind: Xiao Tianyi, the Xuan Prince.
Although this seemed more like something Yun Qianxue would do, there was no way Yun Qianxue could instruct Lu Waner. Thus the only possible explanation would be Xiao Tianyi.
On the ground floor, many people had figured out what was going on. They all looked up toward the second floor at Xiao Tianyi’s room.
Although Xiao Tianyi was sitting in the room, he could still feel the stares of the crowd.
Thinking of what Yun Qianyu had just said, Xiao Tianyi realized that he had been played a fool and that Yun Qianyu had known that he would try to bid against her.
The reason she bid for the item was so that she could drive up the bidding price. Not only did she cause him to lose money, but she also deliberately left a clue for others to figure out what was going on.
‘Since the person she offended is me, everyone will figure out that it was me who ordered Lu Waner to bid against her.’
The relationship between him and the Lu family was now clearly displayed in the eyes of the public.
Xiao Tianyi didn’t expect Yun Qianyu to be so insidious. From the beginning of the auction, she had set a trap for him to fall into.
Unable to control his anger anymore, Xiao Tianyi smacked the table in front of him and yelled out, “Yun Qianyu, you dare to plot against this Prince?”
Finally understanding what had happened, Yun Qianxue lowered her head and did not dare to say anything more.
