The person who had raised his paddle this time was–
Lu Huaiyu.
After a short period of silence, a small commotion erupted in the venue.
"The person who raised the price just now was Second Master Lu?"
"It’s him! I’ve long heard that this person is a lavish spender and clearly, it’s true. The moment he raised the price, he immediately doubled it…"
"At most, that Jade Pi Xiu Sculpture is worth eight million. Zhong Haoqi’s ten million bid was already a high price. What is Second Master Lu thinking? He actually raised it to twenty million?"
The crowd discussed animatedly.
Zhong Haoqi, who was also in the private room on the third floor, was also shocked.
He frowned and turned his head to look to the right.
The auction hall was in a circular shape, and he and Lu Huaiyu were facing each other diagonally, so he could see him when he looked up.
Almost at the same time, Lu Huaiyu seemed to have sensed something and also looked over at him.
He smiled, but the gaze that he sent over was cold and intense.
Zhong Haoqi could not help but feel a chill in his heart, and he felt a bit uneasy.
This was not the first time he had seen Lu Huaiyu at the auction. According to his understanding, Lu Huaiyu was not interested in these jade pieces.
However, today–
Lu Huaiyu had deliberately raised his paddle before the hammer had fallen. Moreover, he had not made a move throughout. Yet, as soon as he had done so, he had directly doubled the bidding price.
Had he… done it on purpose?
Zhong Haoqi mulled this over repeatedly in his heart, but he could not remember when he had offended this person.
Many thoughts flitted through his mind. He pretended to laugh in a relaxed manner.
"I didn’t expect Second Master Lu to be interested in this."
Lu Huaiyu smiled faintly.
"If Young Master Zhong likes it, then just continue to raise the price."
Zhong Haoqi choked for a moment.
The Zhong family was not like the Lu family. Although he liked it, he would not spend 20 million on such an item. It would really be a loss.
He laughed.
"Second Master Lu, it’s rare for you to come to Hong Kong City. Since you want it, it would not be right for us to steal someone’s love. Second Master, please go ahead."
This meant that he was giving face and giving up on bidding.
In fact, everyone knew that he did not want to overspend this much money and he also did not want to offend Lu Huaiyu. He was just trying to find an excuse for himself.
Some people secretly exchanged glances with each other, with a hint of wanting to watch the show.
Lu Huaiyu raised his eyebrows slightly and withdrew his gaze.
Yan Fei’s gaze fixed on Lu Huaiyu.
"20 million going once."
"20 million going twice."
"20 million going three times."
Bang.
The small hammer in her hand was brought down.
"Sold."
…
The atmosphere in the auction venue quickly became heated because of Lu Huaiyu’s bid.
At first, everyone had thought that Lu Huaiyu had come this time to bid for the watch that would be the finale item. Thus, they had tacitly agreed that he would wait until the end to make a bid.
Who would have known that he would raise his paddle only by the third item?
