A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 223 Fighting Clamorously

"Get lost!" Ye Fan's shout reverberated through the air. After he shouted, Ye Fan could feel everything

turn silent. Even the air before him seemed frozen still.

Shen Fei was stunned. When did Mr Ye become brave enough to shout at his wife?

But Shen Fei's admiration for Ye Fan died quickly. A look of horror appeared instantly on Ye Fan's face.

He quickly put down his phone and apologized to Qiu Mu-Cheng, "Mu-Cheng, I...I wasn't saying it to

you. I was saying to Shen Fei and Han Shao-Jie. Please understand..." NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was clearly upset. Her pretty face was expressionless as she turned to leave, "Fine. I'll

get lost."

"No, don't, Mu-Cheng," begged Ye Fan quickly. Shen Fei hurried over to help put in a good word for Ye

Fan and managed to stop Qiu Mu-Cheng from walking away.

Since Qiu Mu-Cheng asked Ye Fan to help Shen Fei, he agreed to it. It was only on account of his wife.

"$18 million for rock number 6. Young Master Sun placed an $18 million bid. Is there anyone else that

wants to go higher?" said the auctioneer's voice excitedly.

It looked like the auction had progressed up to rock number 6. Sun Yu-Hao made the highest bid and

stole the limelight again.

Sun Yu-Hao looked proud and energetic.

"Mr Ye, what should I do? Should I bid? I just can't stand that cocky look on his face!" Rock number 6

was one of the highlights of the auction. It was also one the rocks Shen Fei shortlisted. Now that it was

being auctioned, Shen Fei eager to try.

Ye Fan nodded, "Ignore me and just bid as you wish. I will advise you when necessary. But let me

remind you, I don't know anything about jade stones. Don't blame me if you lose money."

"Of course. As long as Mr Ye is willing to help me, there's nothing we can't overcome in the world with

our powers combined," laughed Shen Fei loudly. He regained his confidence.

After all, Shen Fei felt more at ease with Ye Fan here to help him.

Since Ye Fan didn't stop him from bidding for rock number 6, it meant this rock was good to him.

"$20 million!" Shen Fei went ahead and made a bid without a saying a word.

"Young Master Shen! I see that Young Master Shen has recovered from his failure and has come back

to the auction. You must be here to compete with Young Master Sun. I wonder how much money you

can fork out to beat Young Master Sun this time...”

The auctioneer deliberately provoked the two verbally and played things up. Now it became a battle of

their financial powers.

Since Shen Fei still dared to bid, Sun Yu-Hao frowned at this at first, then broke into a smile. "Young

Master Shen, why, haven't you lost enough? It happened just moments ago, but you've already

forgotten the pain? If you're not capable enough, you should go back and practice for a few more

years. Otherwise, Young Master Shen might go bankrupt," said Sun Yu-Hao coldly.

Shen Fei ignored him instead. After starting at $20 million, he increased his bid, "$21 million!"

What?

"Heavens! $21 million! Young Master Shen certainly has the airs that are befitting of the heir to the

Shen family. He's even bidding against himself! He has money to burn and looks determined to get the

stone!"

Sun Yu-Hao furrowed his brows coldly.

He liked rock number 6 a lot. Of course, he couldn't let Shen Fei have it.

So Sun Yu-Hao raised the bid, "$25 million!" "$27 million!" Shen Fei was fearless.

"$30 million! Does Young Master Shen have the guts to beat that? If you do, I will let you have this

rock,” smiled Sun Yu-Hao calmly.

"As you wish then!” yelled Shen Fei. Just as he was about to bid, Ye Fan pulled him back.

"That's enough. Don't increase the bid anymore."

What?

"Mr Ye, Sun Yu-Hao likes this rock a lot, so there must be jade inside. More importantly, how can I give

up? If I don't see this through, I'll stand to lose both the prize and my repute here. What will happen if

everyone in Yunzhou thinks I can't outdo him?" said Shen Fei anxiously.

There was a calm expression on Ye Fan's face. He said gently, "Trust me.”

"If you buy it for $30 million, you'll make a loss. Rock number 6 only has a little jade on the right and is

worth $10 million at best. If you pay $30 million for it, you will lose $20 million. Of course, if you only

want to look good and not care about money, then go ahead," laughed Ye Fan as he spoke while Shen

Fei got a shock.

"Lose $20 million? Mr Ye, are you for real? This is one of their main attractions. If I miss it, all that's left

are rocks number 8 and 9." Shen Fei was clearly reluctant to give up and remained suspicious.

"I told you what I know. It's up to you to believe it or not," said Ye Fan nonchalantly.

Shen Fei hesitated for a moment then gritted his teeth, "Okay, Mr Ye. I'll do as you say."

Shen Fei eventually decided to stop. "Sun Yu-Hao, I'll let you have the rock. I won't fight with you for

this cheap stone."

When Sun Yu-Hao heard this, he burst out laughing. "Young Master Shen, if you don't have enough

money, then say so. Why make excuses? Hahahal!”

Sun Yu-Hao's unbridled laughter made Shen Fei's face turned livid. He gritted his teeth and said in his

heart, "Sun Yu-Hao, just you wait. I will definitely get rocks numbers 8 and 9.”

But Shen Fei was surprised that Ye Fan told him to give up rock number 8 and not to bid for it.

"Mr Ye, is rock number 8 lousy? Why ask me to give up?" Shen Fei was perplexed.

Ye Fan said, "It was good, but there is something better. Don't be anxious."

When Shen Fei heard this, he nodded, "That's true. Sun Yu-Hao isn't bidding for rock number 8 either.

He's clearly saving his money for rock number 9. In that case, I will fight it out with you over rock

number 9." Shen Fei secretly clenched his fists tightly.

On the other end, Li was telling Sun Yu-Hao, "Young Master, you must do your best to get rock number

9. It's from Myanmar and originated from an old mine in Pagan. The mine is renowned for producing

the best jade stone. Also, this stone itself looks extremely good. It's densely covered with snake bands.

There are wrinkles on its exterior that resemble elephant skin. So it's likely to contain ice jade or maybe

even rare glass jade or jadeite."

Sun Yu-Hao nodded, "Okay, Li. Don't worry."

Rock number 8 finally got auctioned off for a high price of $40 million. Then the bidding for rock number

9 officially started.

It was massive in size and approximately 50 kilograms in weight. Even in the showroom, it was hard to

find another which matched its proportions.

"I'm sure everyone checked rock number 9 carefully. Without further ado, let the bidding begin! Bidding

starts at $40 million.”
