Chapter 243 The One with the Last Laugh


    Ye Fan had barely reached the door when Qiu Mu-Cheng dragged him back.


    "Well, uh, could you help? Qianqian really wants this chance but she doesn''t have enough money, so


    why don''t you help her?” said Qiu Mu-Cheng to Ye Fan.


    "What? You want me to lend her money?" Ye Fan''s eyes opened wide. "No way, I''ll lend to anyone but


    her."


    "Are you going to lend money to her or not?" Qiu Mu-Cheng red coldly at Ye Fan.


    "I..." Ye Fan wanted to refuse her, but he surrendered when he felt the piercing gaze of Qiu Mu-


    Cheng''s eyes. "Fine, fine, I''ll lend it to her, alright?"


    "I can''t believe you two. One is just running after her idol blindly and the other one is enabling her. You


    two are really best friends," muttered Ye Fan as he had no choice but to agree to Qiu Mu-Cheng''s


    request.


    The money was going to go from his left


    pocket to his right pocket anyway. Either way it was still going into his own pocket.


    This item was put up by Ye Fan, so Li Er would give Ye Fan all the proceeds from it.


    "Alright then, I''ll give you $50 million. No more than that," said Ye Fan casually.


    "You? $50 million?" Su Qian waspletely shocked and stared wide-eyed at Ye Fan. "You''re just a


    pauper and you have $50 million? You''re just joking with me, right?"


    "Qianqian, he really does have the money." Qiu Mu-Cheng exined to Su Qian how Ye Fan had


    discovered the rock with imperial jade.


    Su Qian was even more shocked after hearing her ount. "What? He gambled on rocks and actually


    won $100 million?"


    Têxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Su Qian waspletely dumbfounded.


    Ye Fan had seen through a $200 million painting at the antiques section and Su Qian was already


    blown away by that. She thought that this guy just got lucky, but Ye Fan actually managed to strike


    jackpot again at the jade auction.


    "You...you know how to do rock gambling?" Su Qian asked Ye Fan in disbelief as her entire body


    shook.


    Ye Fan shook his head and continued to insist that he knew nothing about rock gambling.


    "Enough, Qianqian, hurry up and put your bid. If you don''t seize the chance, it''ll go to someone else,"


    Qiu Mu-Cheng hurried her.


    Su Qian snapped back to reality and went back to the bidding war.


    "$170 million!"


    "$180 million!"


    Qiu Mu-Cheng and Su Qian continued to bid like crazy and their passionate voices filled the hall.


    Ye Fan watched as Su Qian and Qiu Mu-Cheng went crazy bidding away. He only had a bitter and


    helpless smile on his face.


    Ye Fan didn''t think that an item he had just casually given to Li Er to auction just to do Li Er a favor


    would make his own wife fight tooth and nail for it.


    The way things turned out were beyond Ye Fan''s expectations.


    "$190 million! Mr Sun here has offered $190 million! Is anyone else going to bid?" the excited and


    bright voice of the auctioneer continued to ring through the hall.


    Sun Yu-Hao beamed proudly and eyed the private room that Ye Fan was in. There was a terribly cold


    look on his handsome face.


    "This time, I''m going to fight it out with you!"


    Sun Yu-Hao had orders from his father toe to Yunzhou to bid for this chance to meet with Mr Chu.


    The Sun family had reached a bottleneck in its advancement, and they were counting on this meeting


    with Mr Chu to make a breakthrough.


    So Sun Yu-Hao''s father had instructed him to get this chance no matter how much it cost.


    Su Qian struggled for a long time before she finally made an offer of $200 million.


    This was really her limit. If it went any higher, there was nothing she could do.


    She could only hope that Mr Sun would give up.


    But Su Qian was disappointed in the end.


    "$210 million!" Sun Yu-Hao''s voice was like the grim reaper pronouncing judgment on Su Qian.


    Su Qian copsed limply onto the sofa and stopped bidding.


    Congrattions, Young Master Sun."


    Ye Fan suddenly spoke up to congratte Sun Yu-Hao.


    Everyone knew that nobody else was able to bid for this now.


    Sun Yu-Hao had gotten thestugh!


    "Congrattions, Young Master Sun, for getting this wonderful opportunity! At the same time, you have


    be the brightest star of tonight''s auction!" Li Er walked up the stage to congratte Sun Yu-Hao.


    Everyone started apuding, and this time, the apuse was for Sun Yu-Hao.


    After all, his magnanimity and financial capability had indeed wowed everyone present.


    Of course, it didn''t mean that the other people in the crowd couldn''t afford $200 million.


    But many of the people in the crowd were businessmen and calcted their profits very carefully. Many


    of them felt that spending $200 million on a chance to have dinner was a bit too much and wasn''t worth


    it.


    And so this opportunity to have dinner with Mr Chunded in Sun Yu-Hao''s hands.


    Sun Yu-Hao was now enjoying the thunderous apuse and the attention of everyone in the hall, and


    he was now in an excellent mood. He stood up and looked up at that private room with the face of a


    victor. His arrogant face looked like he was boasting of his victory.


    "Yu-Hao, you''re amazing! I knew it! The one with thestugh would definitely be you! No matter how


    rich anybody is in this tiny city, they can''t bepared to you!" Han Fei-Fei pped and looked at Sun


    Yu-Hao with adoring eyes.


    Han Hai also congratted Sun Yu-Hao sincerely.


    But Ye Fan felt likeughing when he looked at how Sun Yu-Hao was proudly showing off downstairs.


    He didn''t expect Sun Yu-Hao to be the one to win this bid.


    But while Ye Fan was chuckling sadly to himself, Su Qian was like a battered fruit and wilted miserably


    on the sofa. She looked like she had lost the whole world and her life was dark.


    Qiu Mu-Cheng consoled her, "Qianqian, there''s always next time.”


    Su Qian didn''t say anything. She just sat there by herself and her little face looked so worn out.


    The auction had really ended this time, so Qiu Mu-Cheng and the rest in the room got ready to leave.


    Li Er called Ye Fan at this time, "Mr Chu, the auction is over. The one who got the chance in the end is


    Young Master Sun from the Sun family in Jianghai. When would you be avable? I''ll make


    arrangements for dinner."


    Ye Fan nodded. "Got it. I''ll leave the time and ce to you. Just let me know and I''ll be there."


    Li Er replied happily, "Sure, Mr Chu. Then I''ll fix it at Haiyuan Restaurant in three days'' time. By the


    way, this dinner went for $210 million, I''ll transfer it to you once I get the money."


    Ye Fan hung up the phone shortly after that. Qiu Mu-Cheng was busy consoling Su Qian and didn''t


    notice what Ye Fan said over the phone.


    It was quitete already, so after Ye Fan and the twodies left the auction hall, they headed for the


    counter on the first floor to retrieve the jadeite before going home.


    However...
