"So, are we continuing the auction?" Ming Lingyi asked.
"But of course." Hu Yuwan gave her a deep look and said, "Since Boss Ming has already offered ten taels of gold, we'll add another two. Twelve taels of gold."
Ming Lingyi's expression didn't change. "Fifteen taels."
In just one exchange, the two of them had driven the price of the Dongzhu Jewelry, originally worth three taels of gold, up by five times.
After the previous scene with Qin Lingzhi, the spectating crowd was once again captivated by the bidding war between Ming Lingyi and Hu Yuwan.
"Isn't that Boss Ming from Ming's Restaurant? Boss Ming is so generous!"
"This isn't fifteen copper coins, or fifteen taels of silver—this is fifteen taels of gold!!!"
"Looks like Boss Ming is really a cut above the General Mansion's wife!"
The shouts of the onlookers reached the ears of the four people involved in the bidding.
