Chapter 371: Is it a kidney problem?

Shock. The entire venue was in shock!

Three million!

This had already set the highest bid of the evening, and judging by the trend, it was very likely to continue!

The crowd looked on with thoughtful expressions. It seemed Su Yuanshuang had a benefactor behind her, and it must be this young man.

They all felt he wasn't very familiar, so he was likely an outsider. Could he be a powerful dragon crossing the river, here to cause trouble for Xu Yehan? Did he not know that Young Master Xu was a famous wealthy gentleman in the local area?

Three million—it wasn't too much, but it wasn't exactly a small amount either.

Many people present could afford it, but being able to afford it didn't mean it wouldn't come at a cost.

"Number 153, three million once..."

"Number 153, three million twice..."

"Number 153... If no one continues to bid, I will bring down the gavel..."

The host's voice was crisp and pleasant, but everyone could feel that she was starting to get a bit nervous.

After all, everyone present could see that Xu Yehan was already angry.

"Hold on."

As expected, Xu Yehan waved his hand. He stared directly at Zheng Qian with a chilling gaze and sneered, "With a mere three million, you want to take away something that I, Xu Yehan, have set my sights on? That is absolutely ridiculous!"

"Five million! Let's see if you'll keep up!"

Xu Yehan held his bidding paddle high, his eyes full of provocation.

Everyone widened their eyes, unable to help but exclaim in surprise.

Crazy, it was simply too crazy!

Coming tonight was truly worth it; to be able to see such a good show, this trip was definitely worthwhile!

Many people even started to get excited. Xu Yehan was a famous young master in the local area; although he wasn't among the very top few, he was still someone many people could only look up to from afar.

Aside from those top wealthy gentlemen, no one dared to snatch anything he had his eyes on.

Yet this outsider, Zheng Qian, was so oblivious to the situation!

Five million!

This was already a very irrational number!

"Five million, and you want me to back out? You really underestimate me." Zheng Qian couldn't help but laugh, lazily extending his bidding paddle. "Ten million. I'll put it out there: no matter how much you bid, I will match it."

"Hmm... double."

Finally, Zheng Qian added this sentence.

At this moment, little stars were already starting to appear in the eyes of many women at the venue.

Many of them were here just to gain exposure, hoping to show their faces in front of the many wealthy tycoons. If they happened to be noticed by someone, wouldn't that be a step up to heaven, turning a pheasant into a phoenix?

In their eyes, Zheng Qian looked like the best candidate.

Not only was he good-looking, but most importantly, he was incredibly generous!

What? You say he already has a female companion?

Heh, what era is this? Who would mind having one more girlfriend? Besides, does his girlfriend have the skills I do? I guarantee I can make him unable to get out of bed in less than a minute!

Facing the predatory gazes of so many women, Zheng Qian couldn't help but feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

He cast a slightly reproachful glance at Su Yuanshuang.

If it weren't for her acting on her own and hesitating just now, would I have needed to step in personally?

The moment the number appeared, Xu Yehan's expression changed.

He clenched his fists nervously, his eyes flickering, his emotions extremely agitated.

Ten million—are you kidding me?

And you're going to double whatever I bid?

He subconsciously glanced at Pei Moyan, and his heart immediately sank to the bottom. He saw that her eyes were full of keen interest as she looked at Zheng Qian thoughtfully, and he didn't know what she was thinking.

More importantly, her eyes flickered slightly, as if she were very interested in him!

"Damn it..."

Xu Yehan swore that if this weren't a public place, he would have already sent people to throw Zheng Qian into the sea.

After a slight hesitation, he suddenly laughed.

That's right, didn't you say you would double whatever I bid?

I'll see if you can actually afford this money!

"Fifteen million!"

Before his voice had even faded, Zheng Qian's words rang out immediately:

"Thirty million!"

Xu Yehan: ???

You motherfucker, you actually followed through?

Should I say fifty million? Would that kid say one hundred million? That shouldn't be possible; one hundred million, that would be... it's simply too crazy! Anyone with a brain wouldn't follow that.

But if I said fifty million and he didn't follow, wouldn't I be the one stuck paying that amount?

Wouldn't my dad kill me?

No, I absolutely cannot fall for his trap! Anyway, he's an outsider. Even if he really stopped bidding, people here wouldn't know him, let alone say anything. But I'm different; I am Xu Yehan!

But...

If I back down like this, will people look down on me? Will they stab me in the back?

And how would Pei Moyan see me? Disappointed in me?

For a moment, Xu Yehan's emotions were caught in a dilemma. His eyes flickered wildly, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat. He looked utterly disheveled, just like someone who hadn't had water for days in the desert.

His face even started to turn a bit pale.

"This Young Master Xu... looks a bit weak... Is his kidney failing?"

"Exactly, I thought he was so impressive..."

"What's so impressive... He even sought out two of my sisters before... but in less than 2 minutes and 15 seconds he..."

Many girls below started whispering.

These sounds reached Xu Yehan's ears, almost making him vomit a mouthful of old blood.

He immediately stood up with a start.

You damned women, you dare to question this young master's ability??? I...

"Young Master Xu, are you planning to continue bidding?" Seeing Xu Yehan stand up, the female host subconsciously thought he was prepared to continue bidding, so she quickly spoke with deep emotion.

Xu Yehan was stunned for a moment.

He was, after all, someone who had seen the big world, so he wouldn't completely break down mentally because of this.

He took a deep breath, and his emotions gradually began to return to normal. Heh, brat, even if you really win this item, do you think you can win over Pei Moyan?

I've spent so many years, tried so hard, what haven't I given her?

Haven't I still not even held her hand?

What's more, you even brought a top-tier beauty here; if that's not being an idiot, what is?

Thinking of this, he suddenly laughed and clapped his hands very gentlemanly:

"A gentleman does not take what others love. Since this brother likes this ring so much, of course, I won't continue to block him! I just hope... you absolutely must not go back on your word; thirty million, not a cent less!"

"This is a charity auction; for the sake of those who need help, you must not default on your payment!"

"And you absolutely cannot pay in installments! I will be responsible for overseeing it!"

Zheng Qian shrugged indifferently.

"It's just a mere thirty million; of course, I won't default. According to the auction rules, payment is arranged by the organizers after everything is finished. But if you are questioning my integrity because you are the same way, I can absolutely pay right now."
