Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 976: 975

While Lin Dong and Qiao Bing were whispering to each other, Huang Jie stepped onto the auction stage at that moment.

The Huang Family is a big clan in Demon City that conducts business in jewelry, and the current head of the family is Huang Jie’s father.

Therefore, Huang Jie is also the young master of the Huang Family.

The wealth of the Huang family is not weak, with assets worth several hundred billion.

This is also why, upon learning Huang Jie’s identity, Yang Meng would actively pursue him.

In her eyes, being the young master of the Huang Family, a clan with a hundred billion in wealth, Huang Jie is naturally far superior to Lin Dong, Qiao Bing’s boyfriend, and much better than Peng Wenhao.

So, as long as she could become Huang Jie’s girlfriend, she felt she could surpass Qiao Bing.

As the young master of the Huang Family, Huang Jie not only helped manage the family’s jewelry business but also operated this auction.

Every time the Huang Family released new jewelry items, they would put them up for auction.

Besides that, the main fame of the Huang Family’s auctions came from their rough jadeite auctions.

They would import rough jadeite from Myanmar and put it up for auction at their event, followed by on-the-spot cutting of the stone.

Many people became rich overnight because of this.

Therefore, more and more people came to attend their auctions, making them increasingly famous.

The format of this auction was evidently the same as before: jewelry first, followed by rough jadeite!

The difference, however, was that this time Huang Jie personally took charge of hosting.

The reason for this was mainly to show off in front of Qiao Bing, the woman he ”fancied”.

But what he didn’t know was that the more he showed off, the more disgusted Qiao Bing felt.

Especially during the jewelry auction segment, Huang Jie would personally handle and demonstrate each item that was up for bidding.

”This is a Gold and Jade Bracelet recently released by the Huang’s ’Dragon and Phoenix’. It fuses jade into the gold, exuding not only the weight of the gold but also the nobility of the jade. The opening bid is 199,999 yuan...”

”This is a diamond ring, a new release from the Huang’s ’Dragon and Phoenix’. This ring contains a 3.49-carat diamond. The precision to which the diamond’s weight is calculated is because there’s an additional meaning behind it. 3.49 g represents ’forever and always,’ making it the perfect gift for couples.”

As he said this, his gaze turned toward Lin Dong and Qiao Bing’s direction.

”Mister, you have such a beautiful companion with you, aren’t you going to buy her a gift?”

”I think this diamond ring would suit her well, and the price is only 880,000!”

He didn’t know whether Lin Dong had any money or not, but judging from Lin Dong’s attire, he assumed that Lin Dong didn’t have much.

By saying this, he was actually trying to embarrass Lin Dong.

If Lin Dong didn’t buy it, then Huang Jie’s purpose would be achieved.

He was praying Lin Dong was penniless! If Lin Dong couldn’t afford the 880,000, then Huang Jie’s chances of snatching that celestial beauty for himself would be much higher.

However, Lin Dong hadn’t even spoken yet.

Qiao Bing suddenly screamed from beside him.

”No, don’t buy it!”

”I don’t want it, I would rather be beaten to death than accept it!”

This scene took Huang Jie by surprise, he asked in confusion, ”Beautiful lady, why such a reaction? Could it be that you are worried your companion can’t afford it?”

”If that’s the case, I can give it to you on his behalf.”

”Consider it making a new friend.”

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Bing nearly tossed her cookies again.

”The reason I don’t want this diamond is not that my boyfriend can’t afford it. But because you touched it!”

”Anything you’ve touched, I absolutely won’t want!”

No sooner had she spoken than Huang Jie’s face became as ugly as it could be. He had never imagined that Yang Meng’s beautiful coworker, Qiao Bing, would fail to give him face like this.

To actually say such things in public!

Are you implying that I’m dirty?

”When I get you, I’ll make sure you understand how formidable I am!” Huang Jie swore in his heart.

And at this moment, Lin Dong also spoke up, ”Things that you’ve touched, we certainly don’t want either.”

Huang Jie laughed out of exasperation, ”Being poor is not something shameful to admit. If you can’t afford it, why look for such an excuse?”

”I initially had no intention of despising the poor, but someone like you, who is both poor and vain, I despise you!”

His words irritated Tang Han, who was sitting in the front row.

Tang Han stood up and shouted, ”Huang Jie, what are you saying? Who are you calling poor? Isn’t it just a lousy diamond ring? Just 880,000, who do you think you are looking down on?”

”I’ll buy it to give to Divine Doctor Lin!”

Her intention was to back up Lin Dong, thinking that although Brother Dongzi had superb medical skills, he might indeed be lacking in the monetary department.

Otherwise, why would he drive an Old Hongqi, right?

So, she was stepping up for Lin Dong.

But as soon as she spoke, Lin Dong and Qiao Bing coordinated very well and said in unison:

”No! Don’t, beat us to death but we still won’t take it!”

The two of them appeared very dominant.

Even Lin Dong almost felt, if you bid for it and give it to me, I won’t even acknowledge you as a friend.

Seeing this, Tang Han had no choice but to give up.

After sitting back down, Tang Han whispered to Gu Lingfei:

”Sister Lingfei, Brother Dongzi’s pride is too intense, isn’t it?”

Hearing this, Gu Lingfei laughingly said, ”Do you also think that he can’t afford it because he’s broke?”

”What else could it be? Brother Dongzi must be very poor, right, otherwise why would he drive an old Hongqi?” Tang Han said, spreading her hands.

Gu Lingfei rolled her eyes, ”If he’s poor, then there are no rich people left in this world.”

”Although I don’t know exactly how much money he has, I’d stake my head on it. All the money of everyone at this auction combined, doesn’t amount to his wealth!”

Gu Lingfei’s words left Tang Han astounded.

”Sister Lingfei, really? Is Brother Dongzi that rich?”

”Would I risk my head just to brag about him?” Gu Lingfei said.

”Oh my God, Brother Dongzi is a real pillar to hold onto. Not only is he awesome at racing, he has medical skills, and he’s also so wealthy... From now on, I need to cling tightly to his leg,” Tang Han said, her eyes sparkling with stars.

Their conversation, of course, was unheard by others.

Certainly, even if others did hear, they probably wouldn’t believe Gu Lingfei.

Onstage.

Huang Jie’s face was ugly. He had wanted to use this method to embarrass Lin Dong, but he didn’t expect that he’d end up embarrassing himself instead.

And there was one person in the audience whose face was even uglier than his.

That was Yang Meng.

Her boyfriend, right in front of her, had offered a diamond ring to Qiao Bing.

For her, as the ’official girlfriend,’ it was nothing short of extreme humiliation.

Huang Jie obviously noticed Yang Meng’s expression as well.

He was tired of playing with Yang Meng and had thought about dumping her if it came down to it, but now he suddenly thought he could use her to win over Qiao Bing.

So at that moment, he stepped down from the stage to do damage control.

He stopped being the auctioneer.

Instead, he went over to Yang Meng and gave her an explanation.

He said that what he did was just to humiliate Lin Dong.

He also promised her a gift later on.

Hearing this, a smile returned to Yang Meng’s face.

”Jie Ge, I really like that item on the stage right now. Bid for it and give it to me!”

What was being auctioned onstage was a Dragon and Phoenix gold hairpin, adorned with diamonds and jade.

It was said to have been worn by the founding empress of the Ming Dynasty, Queen Ma.

Of course, the diamonds and jade were added later!

Its price was steep!

The starting bid was eight million eight hundred thousand!

Far more expensive than the diamond ring just now.

Huang Jie wasn’t foolish, he was only toying with Yang Meng.

Feeling that there was no need to buy the Dragon and Phoenix gold hairpin priced at eight million eight hundred thousand as a starting bid, he said with a smile:

”That Dragon and Phoenix hairpin is for auction. As the young owner, it’s unnecessary for me to join the bidding.”

”How about I give you this diamond ring?”

As he spoke, he took out the diamond ring that Qiao Bing and Lin Dong had beaten to death to reject and offered it to Yang Meng.

Although Yang Meng felt somewhat dissatisfied for not getting the eight million eight hundred thousand Dragon and Phoenix gold hairpin, she thought of the value of the ring, worth eighty-eight thousand, and how long she would have to work to earn that much money, so she accepted it with a smile.

”Thank you, Jie Ge!”

She took the eighty-eight thousand diamond ring and didn’t forget to show it off by waving her hand toward where Qiao Bing was, wanting to flaunt it.

Just when she thought she had made an impression, Lin Dong’s voice suddenly called out:

”I bid nine million!”

It turned out that it was Lin Dong who placed the bid for the Dragon and Phoenix gold hairpin!
