Chapter 22 Wishful Thinking
It was impossible for Yan Wuyue to accept his solicitousness, so she could only bid for it herself.
"10000!"
Yan Wuyue raised the price to 10000 in one go and raised her voice. It was obvious that she needs to have the item.
But who knew that Zhao Ruian would continue to raise his hand and say leisurely, "11000."
As a member of the Zhao family, he naturally didn't lack money. Women were also easily sent to his door, but Zhao Ruian didn't like them.
However, an outstanding beauty like Yan Wuyue, who wasn't fake, had aroused Zhao Ruian's heart.
The more difficult it was to pursue, the greater the satisfaction one would feel after conquering it. This was the kind of spiritual enjoyment that Zhao Ruian lacked.
Yan Wuyue raised the price with a frown, "15000!"
A medicine that was worth no less than 300,000 was definitely worth it, even if it was sold for 100,000!
"16000."
Zhao Ruian smiled after he bid the price. He did not look like he was burdened by it at all. He would not raise the price so quickly, as that would have a different meaning.
Yan Wuyue's face had completely darkened. Zhao Ruian's appearance had completely disrupted her plan.
Yan Wuyue raised her hand and said, "20000."
Although this would cause those old fogeys to target her, she wasn't worried at all with Zhou Mingrui around.
"21000."
Zhao Ruian raised his eyebrows after bidding. If he was not wrong, Yan Wuyue's clan had cut off her supply of resources recently, and this was all she had in her savings.
Yan Wuyue continued to raise her hand and said, "25000!"
The people present were stunned when they heard the price of 25000. They did not expect the first item with a starting bid of 5000 would be raised to this price.
Of course, based on what had just happened, everyone had guessed that Yan Wuyue and Zhao Ruian were fighting for their pride, so they did not want to get involved.
Zhao Ruian frowned for the first time when he heard 25000.
It wasn't that he couldn't afford the price of 25000, but he couldn't chase after a girl without thinking. Otherwise, his family would definitely have a bad opinion of him.
But since it was something that Yan Wuyue wanted so much, was it really something good?
"30000."
Zhao Ruian raised his hand again. He bet that the item that Yan Wuyue was interested in was definitely worth more than 100,000.
Seeing this, Yan Wuyue suddenly became short of breath. She quickly thought about what to do next.
"30000 going once!"
Even the auctioneer was a little excited. If the starting bid of each item could be increased by several times like this, then his commission would be worth a lot.
Yan Wuyue's eyes flickered as if she was struggling with something.
"30000 going twice!"
When the auctioneer called out twice, Yan Wuyue's eyes became determined.
Yan Wuyue raised her hand decisively and said, "40000!"
Since things had already come to this, she could only stake it all. She decided that if she could win the bid and let Zhou Mingrui show off his combat talent in front of the elders of the clan, the money would not be a problem for the clan.
Zhao Ruian raised his hand without hesitation and bid, "100,000!"
He was sure that Yan Wuyue must know the value of the item if she could offer such a price in her current situation.
Sitting back in her seat, Yan Wuyue had already closed her eyes helplessly. She knew that she had no chance.
100,000. Zhao Ruian was really ruthless. With the clan's current situation, it was impossible for them to fork out more than 10000 in cash to buy something that they did not know the details of.
"100,000 going twice."
"100,000 going thrice! Deal. The first mysterious appetizer belongs to Mr. Zhao!"
The auctioneer seemed to know that Yan Wuyue had lost her ability to compete, so he decisively increased the speed of the gavel.
Yan Wuyue was extremely depressed. She immediately stood up and turned to leave the auction house, but before she could continue, a figure blocked her way.
Yan Wuyue stopped and looked at the man in front of her. "Zhao Ruian, what are you doing?"
Zhao Ruian returned a gentle smile. He knew that Yan Wuyue was still angry.
Thus, he kept a distance and said softly, "Xiao Yue, I didn't mean to go against you. You know how I feel about you."
He raised his hand and placed the box that had just been auctioned for 100,000 dollars in front of Yan Wuyue.
Zhao Ruian continued, "As long as you say the word, Xiao Yue, I can give you this box for free!"
Yan Wuyue shook her head decisively. "Zhao Ruian, have you forgotten what I said before? it was impossible between us."
Zhao Ruian did not give up. Instead, he laughed. "Xiao Yue, I advise you to think again. With your talent and my resources, we are a perfect match."
"If you need money, I can transfer it to you directly. If you want resources, I can help you buy them, as long as you are willing to become my woman!"
"What I, Zhao Ruian, have, you can have too."
Yan Wuyue refused without thinking, "I'm sorry, Zhao Ruian, but you should give up on that idea."
"Also, please call me by my full name in the future. Otherwise, I won't talk to you."
Zhao Ruian put down the box and sighed. "Xiao Yue, why do you have to do this? I admit that I'm average-looking, but I'm sincere to you. Can't you at least give me a chance?"
"No!" Yan Wuyue said in a decisive tone.
With that, Yan Wuyue turned and left, leaving Zhao Ruian, who had an unsightly expression on his face.
"Yan Wuyue, since you're so heartless, don't blame me. I, Zhao Ruian, will get what I like by hook or by crook. Otherwise, I'd rather destroy it than give it to anyone else!" Zhao Ruian's face darkened as he watched Yan Wuyue leave.
"One day, you will kneel down in front of me and beg me."
With that, Zhao Ruian, who had a vicious look in his eyes, also got up and followed Yan Wuyue.
On the other side of the selling area, Zhou Mingrui was trying his best to find the item that gave him the feeling.
The entire selling area was thousands of square meters, and there were hundreds of stalls of all sizes. It was unrealistic to find them quickly.
He also couldn't use his Spirit Eye. After all, there were hundreds or even thousands of items on each stall. If he were to appraise them one by one, he would probably vomit blood. It was better to follow his feelings and narrow down the range of items as soon as possible.
Soon, Zhou Mingrui followed the path and searched. At the same time, he relied on his senses to constantly probe around.
Soon, he saw a stall that was surrounded by people, and the position of the stall gave him the strongest feeling.
Zhou Mingrui immediately walked up to the stall to take a look at the items on display. However, he was stopped by the crowd.
Without much thought, Zhou Mingrui forced his way in with his strong body and quickly arrived at the front row.
