C97 A Good Play(3)
Because Yan Duoya's voice was raised by several degrees, the women sitting near her naturally heard her angry words. They turned their heads and saw Yan Duoya staring at Soong Shiyan with a ferocious expression. Due to the light shining from behind them, they weren't able to see Soong Shiyan's expression clearly. In a short moment, the women saw that Yan Duoya's expression did not seem friendly, and the banquet hall gradually became rowdy.
"Does this Soong Shiyan really think that she is some kind of princess? A mere young miss with Soong Family dares to be so rude to Miss Jing Sung! "
"Miaochen, wasn't this woman always so arrogant that she didn't want to attend these banquets? Why did you invite her to the auction this year? "Look, she actually dared to shout at Miss Jing Sung, making her unhappy!"
"Miss Jing Sung, are you alright? Don't lower yourself to the same level as this woman! "
The women rushed to be the first to point their fingers at Yan Duoya, at the same time expressing their concern to Soong Shiyan. Hearing this, Yan Duoya's expression darkened even more. These women were all high and mighty people. What did that Jing Sung count as? It was just that she had Huo Family behind her back. How infuriating!
Seeing Yan Duoya being isolated by these women, Soong Shiyan was satisfied. She smiled inwardly. Then, she coughed lightly, turned her head to look at these women, and said in a dignified and appropriate manner, "Sisters, don't target Miss Soong. People in this circle would always look up and see each other. Everyone shouldn't let such small matters hurt their relationship. Besides, there's no conflict between Miss Soong and me. "We're both women, and it's normal for us to have some little moods from time to time — Miss Soong, do you think I'm right?"
Although Yan Duoya was unhappy in her heart, she still agreed with Soong Shiyan with a smile. As for the other women, they were impressed by Soong Shiyan's bearing and a trace of admiration appeared in their eyes when they looked at her.
"Is there anyone willing to bid?" The auctioneer noticed that everyone was discussing something else enthusiastically, so he stood up and asked.
Hearing this, the women began to discuss in whispers again.
"Who donated this painting? It's not some famous painting, and he actually dares to donate it? " A woman said with a disdainful smile.
"Miaochen, do you know who donated this painting?" a woman asked.
"I don't know. The painting was donated anonymously and a courier delivered it to the staff a few minutes before the auction. " Su Miaochen was also at a loss.
"If one of you people didn't donate anything, then that person should be an anonymous donor." A woman said confidently.
Hearing this, the other women also felt that this method was not bad and nodded their heads in agreement.
"You all guessed wrong! Each of the ladies present donated at least one item. This painting is the only extra painting. It is really impossible to guess who this anonymous donor is. " Su Miaochen looked at the donation slip with a frown.
"Two hundred thousand." Soong Shiyan raised the bid in her hand and spoke indifferently.
Hearing this, the chattering women suddenly quietened down and looked at Soong Shiyan in confusion.
"Jing Sung, I didn't see you bidding just now. I thought you didn't like this auction! Why are you bidding for such an ordinary painting? " When Su Miaochen saw Soong Shiyan start to bid, she looked at her doubtfully. Could it be that Jing Sung was this anonymous donor?
Hearing this, a hint of suspicion appeared in Yan Duoya's eyes as she looked at Soong Shiyan.
Soong Shiyan laughed. Her voice rose as she said, "I saw how badly you guys fought over those items just now." But now, this painting was of no interest to anyone. It wasn't a famous painting, but at least it was a donor's gesture. "We're all here for charity. If no one bids, then the donor won't feel good about it, right?" Of course, she said this to Yan Duoya in order to prevent her from suspecting her identity.
Hearing Soong Shiyan's words, Su Miaochen smiled in embarrassment. She then raised the auction card in her hand and shouted, "Three hundred thousand!"
After she finished speaking, Su Miaochen cast a glance at the women around her. These women immediately understood what Su Miaochen meant and followed up the bid. Soon, the price of the painting had risen to five million.
Soong Shiyan smiled. She didn't know what to say to these women.
At this moment, Yan Duoya finally came back to her senses. She raised the auction board in her hand and shouted, "Ten million!"
Hearing this, the women beside Soong Shiyan looked at Yan Duoya with disgust, pondering if they should continue bidding.
Soong Shiyan smiled and whispered to the women, "Today is the first time Miss Soong came to this auction. She called out a high price of 10 million in one breath. It seems like she really likes this painting." As the saying goes, a gentleman has the beauty of an adult. Since Miss Soong likes this painting so much, how can we have the nerve to seize Miss Soong's heart for ourselves? "Why don't we give this painting to Miss Soong?"
These ladies were not interested in the painting to begin with. The reason why they were participating in the auction was only because of what Soong Shiyan had just said to Su Miaochen. Furthermore, it was not worth it to spend ten million on a nameless painting. Therefore, when Soong Shiyan finished her sentence, these women all stopped bidding.
"Ten million, for the first time--"
"Ten million, the second time —"
"10 million, the third time — Deal! Congratulations Miss # 50, for successfully making this Deep Sea Secrets . " The auctioneer spoke with determination.
"Miss Soong is truly a kind-hearted person. For charity, she was willing to spend ten million on such an unknown painting. Jing Sung is truly impressed!" Soong Shiyan leaned her head over, smiling as she spoke to Yan Duoya who was beside her. She had only painted this painting for a day and it was actually sold to Yan Duoya for 10 million gold coins. This really vented her anger. But when she thought about it, the money Yan Duoya had spent today, still belonged to her Soong Family, and also belonged to her fortune, Soong Shiyan felt a little sad.2
Yan Duoya forced a smile and said, "That's only natural. Everyone is here for the sake of charity."
Hearing this, Soong Shiyan smiled and said no more.
The auction ended without a hitch. Soong Shiyan only spent 500,000 yuan to buy a necklace that was donated in the name of Jing Sung. As for the others, Noble Miss had spent at least several million. Yan Duoya, on the other hand, spent a total of 50 million just to buy a few items in front of Noble Miss. Soong Shiyan only felt that it was funny. She felt even more disgusted with such a charity auction.
"Miss Su, please wait!" After the auction ended, Yan Duoya called out to Su Miaochen and walked over to her with a smile. She asked, "Miss Su, do you know which Noble Miss gave that Deep Sea Secrets to you?"
Su Miaochen didn't have a good impression of Yan Duoya at first, but her attitude was still a bit cold. Her voice also turned colder as she said, "I'm sorry, Miss Soong. This painting was donated anonymously. Although I'm the host, I really don't know who gave it to me. "
"Then, Noble Miss, is there anyone here who didn't donate anything?" Yan Duoya asked, unwilling to give up.
"No, everyone donated it." Su Miaochen said coldly.
"Oh, so it's like that! Sorry to disturb you, Miss Su. " Yan Duoya's smile was a little forced as she hurriedly left the banquet hall.
Soong Shiyan looked at Yan Duoya's back as she left in a hurry, smiling coldly. "Yan Duoya, from today onwards, I'm afraid your comfortable life will never be the same again!" I'll leave you in a state of panic before I do anything.
