"What? This Li Qianfan is Mo Hongti's beloved? Young Master Du actually invited him here to witness Mo Hongti's first night being taken by one of us? Holy crap. How deep is the hatred between Young Master Du and Li Qianfan to arrange such a scenario?
The bosses were all incredibly surprised after Du Tianci introduced them like this. Li Qianfan was filled with shame and anger, his right hand holding the fruit juice trembling noticeably. Even a blind person could see he was struggling to control his emotions. The more he acted like this, the more satisfied Du Tianci felt, believing he had finally vented his anger.
Du Tianci laughed heartily, "Li Qianfan, don't you feel immense pain and helplessness right now? Because you're a married man! Mo Hongti, at best, is just your mistress! If you dare to cause a serious conflict with me for your mistress, it will undoubtedly affect your marriage and family. The only thing you can do now is to watch your mistress being taken away by another man, while you can only grit your teeth like a beggar, filled with impotent rage!"
With a whoosh.
Li Qianfan could no longer control himself and flung the fruit juice he was holding violently at Du Tianci. Du Tianci instinctively dodged his head. The juice cup grazed Du Tianci's ear and flew past, hitting the wall with a bang. Seeing this, Bao Cheng and the others rushed forward, surrounding and protecting Du Tianci.
"Du Tianci!" Li Qianfan gritted his teeth, pointing at him, "You better wait. I will repay the humiliation you've given me tonight a hundredfold."
Ha, haha. Du Tianci burst into laughter. If his right hand wasn't injured, he would have surely clapped his hands and sung with joy to express his current delight.
"Idiot," Li Qianfan muttered under his breath, then looked at Mo Hongti on stage, conveying a message with his eyes: "I've performed my part, now it's up to you."
Du Tianci invited Li Qianfan to stimulate him through the auction of Mo Hongti. Mo Hongti invited him to cooperate in a play to please Young Master Du. Li Qianfan had accomplished his part of the task outstandingly, and now he just needed to sit back, munch on melon seeds, and enjoy the show.
Seeing Li Qianfan forcing himself to calm down and sit heavily on the sofa, the bosses secretly scorned him, thinking he was a coward. They all turned their attention to Mo Hongti. Bathed in the spotlight, Mo Hongti was on the verge of tears, her face a picture of despair, her whole body trembling as if an electric current passed through her. Her acting talent was far superior to Li Qianfan's. In fact, without uttering a single word, her gaze and expression alone could paint a vivid picture in one's mind: a peerless beauty who longed to be with her beloved for eternity, snatched away by a scoundrel, struggling desperately. Her mournful cries, like those of a cuckoo weeping blood, were powerless against the cruel reality, like a small flower in a downpour, subjected to the scoundrel's fervent ravages, forced to wear a smile.
In short, Du Tianci derived several times more sense of accomplishment from Mo Hongti than from Li Qianfan.
"Actually, I didn't want to break up this pair of lovers," Du Tianci said loudly. "But their actions are simply unacceptable to me."
Everyone looked at Du Tianci, their eyes full of excitement. These bosses weren't short of women, but they lacked a top-tier beauty like Mo Hongti. Especially a beauty who was someone else's beloved. The act of snatching away a lover always stirred a peculiar excitement. It made one wish they could do it eight times a day.
Seeing everyone's impatience, Du Tianci immediately got to the point, "The 'Queen of the Qingyun Night' is right here! As for who can take her away tonight, it depends on who among you offers the highest price." The so-called price specifically referred to the level of cooperation with the Yuanhang Group. If everyone bid enthusiastically, but there was only one Mo Hongti, what then? Mo Hongti had a first night, and then a second night, a third night, and so on. But who wouldn't want to bid for Mo Hongti's first night?
Before Du Tianci's words had even finished, the bosses immediately raised their hands enthusiastically. Du Tianci smiled.
Mo Hongti suddenly spoke, "Wait." Everyone looked at her. Du Tianci frowned, "Mo Hongti, you are just a gift now. You have no right to speak here." "I don't want to say anything," Mo Hongti said, wiping away a tear with her hand, her voice choked with emotion. "I just want to invite a few more people to the scene."
Who? Mo Haishan and other members of the Mo family! Mo Hongti wanted to see the Mo family, who regarded her as a discarded pawn, personally witness how pathetic their former prominent figure was now, up for auction. What would be the reaction of the Mo family, represented by Mo Haishan? Would they feel particularly proud? Would they still be able to eat and sleep?
Du Tianci and the bosses understood, thinking Mo Hongti was using her tragic situation to get revenge on the Mo family. Du Tianci readily agreed to Mo Hongti's request without much deliberation. Mo Haishan's respect for Young Master Du had clearly diminished when he learned the Du family was in dire straits, and he wanted to take this opportunity to warn the Mo family forcefully!
"Go, call Mo Haishan to come to the scene," Du Tianci instructed Bao Cheng. Mo Hongti, however, said, "No need, I've already had him and a few other Mo family members waiting outside."
"Woman, your name is to take revenge on your family through your own tragic experience," Du Tianci said with a sigh, a remark that greatly surprised Li Qianfan. He thought this idiot actually had some potential as a philosopher.
Bao Cheng hurried out. Soon, he brought in a few people. Mo Haishan, Mo Bin, and two core members of the Mo family.
"Big Brother," Mo Hongti said with a somber expression and a bitter smile, "I wonder how you feel seeing Mo family's former prominent figure now reduced to being auctioned off. What are your thoughts?" Mo Haishan's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "Little sister, sacrificing you brings happiness to us all. We will always remember your contributions to the Mo family." The other Mo family members nodded solemnly.
"Alas, you bastards are truly all talents," Li Qianfan could not find any better adjective to describe Mo Haishan and the others. His peripheral vision, however, noticed that Mo Bin's gaze fixed on Mo Hongti was filled with barely concealed lecherousness. "Holy crap, could this little idiot from the Mo family be lusting after Mo Hongti's beauty?" Li Qianfan was quite surprised by his discovery. Talents. The Mo family produced only talents, no wonder they could dominate Qingyun.
"Alright," Du Tianci announced, "Mo Hongti, your invited relatives are present. Now, let the auction begin! Each time you raise your hand, the price is ten million. The starting bid is also ten million. The highest bidder for Mo Hongti's first night wins." The auction amount he mentioned was actually the business cooperation amount with Yuanhang Group.
Before he finished speaking, a boss impatiently raised his hand, "I bid eighty million!" Immediately, someone raised the price, "I bid one hundred and twenty million!" The third, "I bid one hundred and fifty million!" The fourth, "Heh heh, I bid two hundred million."
"Three hundred million!" The boss who had chatted with Li Qianfan raised his right hand high, "Three hundred million! Mo Hongti's first night is mine!"
"What's three hundred million?" someone shouted, "I bid three hundred and ten million."
Watching the fiercely competitive auction, Du Tianci was all smiles. After Mo Hongti's first night was auctioned, he would immediately proceed to auction the second night, the third night, and so on. In any case, Du Tianci would find ways to ensure that the bosses invited tonight would cooperate closely with Yuanhang Group to obtain Mo Hongti.
Mo Bin's lips moved ceaselessly. How he wished he could participate in the bidding! Meanwhile, Mo Haishan and the others remained solemn, not uttering a word.
"Five hundred million!" A boss jumped onto the sofa and roared, "Mo Hongti's first night is mine!" Five hundred million? Even as a cooperation amount, this figure was not something any boss could easily come up with. The other bosses immediately fell silent. Du Tianci was also satisfied with this price and nodded, "Wang Maoshun of Lu Bei Aluminum Industry, Boss Wang, bids five hundred million. Are there any others who are willing to bid higher?" The others exchanged glances and shook their heads.
"Good. I will now announce." Just as Du Tianci was about to announce Wang Maoshun as the winner, Mo Hongti on the small stage suddenly let out a cold laugh, "Wang Maoshun of Lu Bei Aluminum Industry, Boss Wang, right?" Du Tianci and the others instinctively looked at Mo Hongti. Li Qianfan took out his phone and began typing a message, thinking silently, "Mo Hongti is finally going to tear off her hypocritical mask of despair and helplessness."
