Chapter 195 - The Fools (3)
Chapter 195 – The Fools (3)
While the two princesses continued to say words that could make a spoiled rich young lady feel angry and insulted by their words, Lin Xiaofei was not offended by the least.
Instead of being offended, she was extremely pleased by their reaction and the smile on her lips became more apparent.
However, the two other guys inside the rom=om couldn't bring themselves to smile.
Shen Mo and Jimo were struck in the head silly as they couldn't believe that their young miss would bid twenty thousand gold for a flower!
"Young miss, are you sure you want to spend twenty thousand gold for that tiny flower?"
Jimo leaned slightly to her ears and whispered enough that the only people who could hear him were Lin Xiaofei and Shen Mo.
"Yes." Lin Xiaofei nodded her head.
"B-but young miss, where would you get the money? You only brought one thousand gold." Shen Mo gulped at her craziness to bid twenty times higher than the gold she carried in her person..
Upon hearing this, Jimo's eyes widened. Is this the reason why she brought him here? To use his master's money to buy useless things inside this auction house?
Jimo was already thinking that even before Lin Xaiofei got to marry his master, she was already making use of the benefits she would get from the marriage.
Twenty thousand gold indeed was not enough to put a crack on the wealth that Qu Xing Xu has. Even Qu Xing Xu's clothes and shoes were bought at twenty thousand gold and it was needless to say how much gold was spent on the other things that Qu Xing Xu decided to buy on a whim.
Jimo had his fair share of seeing his master buying worthless things at an insane amount of money. However, he didn't expect that the lady before him was cut from the same cloth as his master!
And not only that, she actually had the nerve to look confident and unbothered when she bidded twenty thousand gold while only having one thousand gold in her person!
This young lady was out of her mind!
Not hearing what was inside Jimo's head, Lin Xiaofei continued to sit relaxedly on her chair while her two bodyguards were starting to get antsy on their feet.
She waited patiently and didn't care about what others said or thought of her.
The only thing that mattered was her plan must succeed and the actors for this scheme must play their roles properly.
And as she expected, the actors were now becoming frustrated at her.
"That woman is irritating! She must be thinking that she can beat us so easily!" Princess Gao bit her lips in annoyance.
Princess Zhu was also not pleased after they were ignored.
"It doesn't matter. We still have a lot of gold in our persons. She can beat us." She then raised her hand and loudly said, "Thirty thousand gold!"
The auctioneer gasped loudly at the huge amount of gold he was about to get just for this tiny purple flower!
Thirty thousand? If he calculated it, he'll get twenty percent from the money. That means he won't worry about being starved for a couple of years!
"Thirty five thousand." Unfortunately, Lin Xiaofe wasn't done.
"Tsk. Why don't you just give up!" Princess Zhu loudly said enough for her to hear. Then, she raised her hand to bid once again, "Forty thousand!"
Everyone's faces froze at that amount of gold. They couldn't fork out that much gold in this lifetime and rival them. Hence, they decided to go silent and watch the show instead.
As everyone waited for the other lady to raise the bid again, the tension in the air also got thicker.
And as everyone was expecting her to bid again, Jimo and Shen Mo were also getting paler as the bid went higher.
However, contrary to what everyone was thinking, Lin Xiaofei decided to give up the item to the princesses.
"I concede."
The people who were holding their breaths finally got to breathe. They all clapped their hands at the show of wealth these ladies showed to them.
But that wasn't the end of it.
The third item was also bidded at thirty thousand gold after the two bidders fought for it once again. A bit lower than the second item but still, the amount of gold that was spent to buy them was enough for a person to get a heart attack after hearing them.
And these items were brought by the princesses who were inside the room next to Lin Xiaofei.
"Congratulations to the two young misses." This was the first time that Lin Xiaofei spoke to them ever since she entered that room.
"Hmph! We don't need you worthless words of praise!" Princess Zhu flicked her sleeves and left the room to fetch the items they bought.
Princess Gao didn't say a word and followed her sister out of the room. However, something was starting to bother her as she didn't feel any excitement nor happiness even though they won the items.
Inside the room, Lin Xiaofei didn't say a word for a while and didn't move. She only stared at the wall and that worried Shen ,Mo.
"Young miss, don't worry. I'll go and ask the auction house master if they still have some of those items and bring them to you." Shen Mo said with conviction.
"No need. There won't be any more of those." Lin Xiaofei replied.
"But…" Shen Mo paused then thought for a second. He then said after thinking, "Should we ambush the carriage those two ladies are riding and steal the items from them?"
Jimo: "…"
Lin Xiaofei: "…"
Lin Xiaofei ignored Shen Mo's plan and smiled instead. "You don't have to do anything. I don't need them."
"Then, why did the young miss decide to bid for these items?" Jimo asked.
Lin Xiaofei shrugged her shoulder before tilting her head to look at him.
"Because it's fun."
Messing with people she deemed worthless and disgusting than insects, Lin Xiaofei will have the most satisfying medicine for the foolish people who harmed her grandfather.
