Chapter 142: The Blue-and-White Porcelain Lantern Vase with Plum Blossoms, Dragon Patterns and Peonies

After learning the truth, Ji Xiaoli became even more interested.

Whoever you pick a fight with, why pick a fight with me?

"What are you going to do?"

Noticing Ji Xiaoli's thoughts, Zheng Nanfeng asked with a hint of interest.

"It's simple. Let's see what else he wants."

After paying for the previous item, there was much less money left in Tom's card. He even began to feel a bit strapped for cash.

He was quite heart - broken now, but also became more cautious.

The money in his card now didn't allow him to bid for anything too expensive.

He had already noticed that Ji Xiaoli was also driving up the price against him. He mustn't fall for it.

He mustn't be deceived by this little girl.

Next, Ji Xiaoli deliberately started to bid on some small items with extremely low starting prices, and she even stopped doubling the price.

Ji Xiaoli's performance seemed to suggest that she was running out of money.

Moreover, every time she bid, there would be a pained look on her face.

After a few bids, Tom seemed to notice something.

Could it be that this little con - artist had run out of money? That would be great!

If he also drove up the price, he could make this woman taste the pain he had just endured.

"Next up is a porcelain item..."

The auctioneer then brought out a very important item on the field today, a porcelain vase.

This porcelain was called the Blue - and - White Porcelain Lantern Vase with Plum Blossoms, Dragon Patterns and Peonies. From the outside, it seemed plain and ordinary, just an ordinary blue - and - white porcelain. However, Ji Xiaoli could tell that it was actually quite a good item.

"The starting price is ten million!"

The auctioneer shouted and announced the start of the bidding.

The starting price was so high that many people backed off, but Ji Xiaoli immediately raised her bid card.

"Twenty million!"

Some people had also wanted to bid for this lantern vase, but they hesitated after seeing Ji Xiaoli's bid.

What if this was another trap?

No, what if this was really the item this woman wanted?

Tom thought for a while. He just couldn't swallow his pride and made another bid.

"Thirty million!"

Hearing Tom's bid, Ji Xiaoli turned to look at him in surprise.

"You finally have money to buy again? I thought you were out of money when you stopped bidding just now."

These words made Tom grit his teeth in anger, but Ji Xiaoli turned back and continued to raise her bid.

"Sixty million!"

This price seemed much cheaper than the oil painting just now.

Of course, it was also within Ji Xiaoli's expectation.

But at this price, Tom hesitated. The scene in front of him seemed a bit familiar.

Could it be that this person was trying to deceive him into buying this porcelain at a high price again?

After thinking about it, Tom always felt that there was something fishy. After all, he was a foreigner and didn't understand the local market.

"Are you going to bid or not? If not, the auctioneer will start counting down."

Ji Xiaoli looked at Tom provocatively. At this moment, Tom became more and more convinced that this was Ji Xiaoli's trick to deceive him.

Although other people also wanted to buy the Blue - and - White Porcelain Lantern Vase with Plum Blossoms, Dragon Patterns and Peonies, seeing Ji Xiaoli's eagerness to buy everything, they all began to back off.

They didn't have as much money as Ji Xiaoli, and besides, what if Ji Xiaoli tricked them like she did just now?

"Forget it. This thing looks so shabby. I don't want it. You can buy it if you want."

Finally, Tom made his decision.

Anyway, it didn't matter if Ji Xiaoli bought this item.

Just like that, Ji Xiaoli easily bought the Blue - and - White Porcelain Lantern Vase with Plum Blossoms, Dragon Patterns and Peonies at a very low price.

Now Ji Xiaoli's consumption in the auction house far exceeded that of others.

The whole auction house regarded Ji Xiaoli as a money - making god and served her tea and water during the following time.

From time to time, fair - skinned and beautiful waitresses would come to offer their services, but unfortunately, Ji Xiaoli didn't fall for it.

Of course, neither did Zheng Nanfeng.

Just like that, the whole auction ended smoothly. The turnover today was much higher than the auction house's initial estimate.

All of this was, of course, related to Ji Xiaoli.

"Miss, this way please."

The department manager of the auction house personally led Ji Xiaoli towards the door. After swiping her card, Ji Xiaoli felt relieved.

The most important thing was that she had bought an item that she originally thought could only be bought at the highest price with the lowest price.

Wasn't this just like picking up something for free?

Just as she was about to leave, a person suddenly appeared in front of her.

Looking up, it was the person who had been driving up the price against her just now.

"I wondered who it was. It's just two green kids. What gives you the right to go against me?"

Tom said contemptuously while taking out his phone from his pocket.

Ji Xiaoli looked at the person in front of her warily.

What was he up to?

"I've already told others about you. Someone will come to cause you trouble later."

Tom said, seemingly waiting for Ji Xiaoli and Zheng Nanfeng to plead for mercy.

The people he had contacted on his phone just now were his subordinates.

Tom was not a kind - hearted person, so there were always a few fierce - looking people in his contacts.

Just now, he had wanted to contact them to give Ji Xiaoli and Zheng Nanfeng a hard time.

"Do you think we're easy to bully just because we're rich? Or do you think I have no background?"

Zheng Nanfeng stood in front of Ji Xiaoli, his eyes filled with coldness.

When Tom looked at Zheng Nanfeng, he was startled.

He was just a seemingly young man. Why did he have such a strong aura?

Tom didn't know that Zheng Nanfeng just looked young.

When protecting Ji Xiaoli, he would naturally look very imposing.

At this moment, the people in the auction house immediately informed Jace of this incident.

After learning the news, Jace rushed over immediately and saw the three of them in a stand - off.

There were also many people watching on the side, seemingly looking forward to a good show.

Without waiting for others to react, Jace directly said, "Tom, I think you're losing your mind!"

Tom turned around and saw Jace. Enemies meeting each other made his blood boil. "Oh, isn't this our Jace? Why, haven't you sold all your shares yet?"

Jace ignored his sarcasm and walked up to Ji Xiaoli. "Are you okay?"

Ji Xiaoli shook her head, indicating that she was fine.

Seeing that Ji Xiaoli was okay, Jace then faced Tom. "How old are you and still arguing with a little girl?"

Hearing this, everyone nodded. That's right. What was there to argue about with a little girl?

But Tom stared at Jace fiercely. "I'm arguing? I really am arguing. What can you do about it?"

Jace frowned. Tom was really shameless to say such things.

"Tom, if this incident gets out, do you think you can still go far in the future?"

Tom understood the meaning behind Jace's words and stared at Jace like a venomous snake. "You're threatening me?"

Jace shook his head. "How could I threaten you? I'm just advising you to let these two kids go."

Although Jace denied it, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this was a threat.

If Tom let it go, this incident would be over. If Tom insisted on arguing, Jace wouldn't let Tom off either.

Tom was so angry that the veins on his forehead popped out, but he didn't take further action.

Because he believed that Jace wasn't bluffing. Jace definitely could do it!

Jace was quite satisfied with Tom's reaction. Without waiting for Tom's answer, he led the two kids away proudly.
