As the auctioneer regained his composure, he began to introduce the fourth item.
It was a blue-and-white porcelain vase from the Yuan Dynasty, exquisitely crafted and emitting a dazzling luster.
After a fierce bidding war, the porcelain vase was sold for eighty million, indicating that there were no shortage of wealthy patrons at today's auction.
However, Chen Fan had no interest in such items.
The next two auction items were also rare treasures, of considerable value.
However, they couldn't compare to the "Canglan Tu" and the blue-and-white porcelain vase.
Dai Yunsen could no longer restrain himself and sarcastically remarked, "Chen Fan, aren't you very good at putting on an act? Why aren't you bidding anymore?"
"Not interested!"
Chen Fan replied nonchalantly.
"I think you simply don't have the money, and can't afford it, right?" Dai Yunsen sneered. "To dare to spout such a sky-high price of five hundred million, you should be investigated to see if you have the capital."
Chen Fan glanced at him, too lazy to waste his breath.
"I'll wait for you to kneel and kowtow, calling me Grandpa!" Dai Yunsen continued to provoke Chen Fan.
His companions let out a burst of laughter.
"You want to take advantage of me?" Chen Fan raised an eyebrow.
Dai Yunsen sneered, "I'm going to take advantage of this!"
"I meant, it would be an advantage for you to be my grandson," Chen Fan shook his head and said. "You're so stupid and so poor, it would be too much of a loss for me to be your grandpa!"
"You..."
Dai Yunsen was stunned for a moment before he understood, and was infuriated to the point of death.
"Pfft!"
Tang Qingying couldn't help but laugh.
*It would be an advantage for you to be my grandson.*
Chen Fan's words were too infuriating!
Xiao Xuan also grinned at this, but she didn't dare to laugh as unrestrainedly as Tang Qingying. She could only suppress her laughter, her pretty face turning red.
The others looked at each other, completely bewildered by Chen Fan's words.
The atmosphere in the venue became somewhat awkward!
Fortunately, the auctioneer's voice sounded in time, breaking the awkward situation.
"The next item is a bit special and carries a particularly auspicious meaning!"
The auctioneer continued to introduce the item: "This is a set of auspicious Ruyi Hetian jade ware for the whole family, including three pairs of dragon and phoenix bracelets, five jade pendants, and three jade rings, and a pair of dragon and phoenix jade carvings!"
"All materials are top-quality Hetian jade, with a warm and flawless texture, suitable for three generations of grandparents, parents, and children to wear."
"Furthermore, this set of jade ware is from the hand of Kun Gang Shanren. Those who like to collect jade should know that he is a master jade carver, and any jade ware that passes through his hands will see its value skyrocket!"
"The starting bid is three million, and each bid must be no less than one hundred thousand!"
Chen Fan looked at the image displayed on the large screen, a hint of interest appearing on his face.
Compared to the previous auction items, the value of this set of jade ware was not high, but it was novel and interesting.
After all, a complete set of jade ware like this was not common.
"The auction now begins!"
As the auctioneer's voice rang out, bids immediately erupted from the crowd.
"Three point one million!"
"Three point two million!"
"..."
The guests in the hall were not short of money. Such a set of beautiful jade ware would be the perfect wedding gift for newlyweds!
However, what Chen Fan was interested in were the pendants that could be worn.
They would be very suitable to give to Su Yingxue.
Of course, with Su Yingxue's personality, she probably wouldn't accept them.
But this set could be given to many people, including little Nannan and Aunt Li.
This way, Su Yingxue should not refuse.
And the value was just right.
As he had an idea, he picked up his bidding paddle and raised it.
Others had already bid over five million. With a raise of his paddle, Chen Fan directly said, "Ten million!"
The various bidding voices abruptly stopped, and the venue fell silent. All eyes turned to Chen Fan again.
This set of jade ware was novel and interesting, and its value was not low, but its actual market price should not reach ten million.
Seeing Chen Fan personally bid, Xiao Xuan was a little surprised and suddenly felt a sense of inexplicable loss.
Earlier, when she bid for the "Canglan Tu" on Chen Fan's behalf, although she was extremely nervous, it was also an unprecedented experience in her life, thrilling and dangerous, bringing her immense excitement and satisfaction.
However, before she could dwell on it, the auctioneer's voice sounded again, interrupting her thoughts.
"This gentleman, number 188, has bid ten million!"
The auctioneer's heart skipped a beat when he saw Chen Fan's paddle number, instinctively feeling that something was about to happen again.
As expected, less than three seconds later, a voice rang out next to Chen Fan.
"Ten point one million!"
Looking in the direction of the voice, it was none other than Dai Yunsen.
"Chen Fan, you want to bid for an item?" Dai Yunsen lowered his voice and sneered, "Heh heh, beg me!"
Chen Fan ignored him and continued to bid, "Eleven million!"
"Eleven point one million!"
Dai Yunsen said triumphantly, "My bid will always be ten thousand more than yours. How about that? Aren't you angry?"
Chen Fan raised his paddle again, too lazy to speak.
"Paddle number 188 bids eleven point two million!"
"Eleven point two million!"
Dai Yunsen continued to bid. Of course, he wouldn't let go that easily.
Chen Fan raised his paddle again.
...
The two alternated bidding, and the price quickly reached twenty point one million.
The other bidders had withdrawn, watching the show.
Paddle number 188 had already been remembered by everyone, and whispers began to spread.
"Is that the son-in-law from the Su family at that table again?"
"Who is he clashing with this time? Is this person here to cause trouble?"
"This time, will he win? After all, the 'Canglan Tu' was bid up to a sky-high price of five hundred million!"
...
The competition between Chen Fan and Dai Yunsen brought excitement back to the auction, which had returned to its normal pace.
However, Dai Yunsen, despite being the young master of the Dai family, was not very well-known. As he was facing away from the back, not many people recognized him.
Dai Yunsen, having the upper hand over Chen Fan, said triumphantly, "Chen Fan, you are nothing in my eyes!"
After speaking, he still glanced at the table next to them.
Yuan Liangping and Xu Shengqing were also watching them.
Seeing Dai Yunsen look over, Yuan Liangping smiled and nodded in approval.
He naturally did not want to see Chen Fan being triumphant after causing trouble at his auction. Even if Dai Yunsen wasn't competing with Chen Fan, he would arrange for someone else to step in.
Anything Chen Fan wanted, he would never let him have it.
This was done to vent his anger and also to show his strength and confidence to those who were paying attention.
Dai Yunsen received Yuan Liangping's approval and was overjoyed, his gaze towards Chen Fan becoming even more provocative.
Chen Fan raised his paddle again, this time directly stating, "Twenty-one million!"
"Add ten thousand!"
Dai Yunsen responded without hesitation.
This time, because the numbers were too troublesome to say, he changed his method.
Anyway, as long as he was always ten thousand more than Chen Fan, it was fine.
Chen Fan finally turned his head to look at Dai Yunsen, appearing somewhat angered.
"Haha, I just love to see you get angry, but you can't do anything about it," Dai Yunsen said proudly, believing he was on the right path.
This time, as long as he pleased Yuan Liangping and Xu Shengqing, his Dai family would surely rise to prominence, and his status within the Dai family would also soar!
However, what he didn't know was that a hint of playful cold laughter flashed in Chen Fan's eyes.
