Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Shen Family was also doing business. Although they were not as famous as the Wen Family, they held an important position in the Capital city.
Madam Shen was famous for being fierce and tough. But surprisingly, nobody hated her.
Wen Xinya’s lip curled up. Being insulted like this, there was no way Ning Shuqian would stay quiet. Wen Xinya knew her very well. Ning Shuqian was good at suppressing her feelings, but she was also sensitive about her reputation just like Wen Haowen.
Ning Shuqian felt a hard slap on her face. She gritted her teeth and shouted, “5 million!”
Stop bidding. She must stop raising the price. However, this battle would not stop until one of them won. Ning Shuqian was determined to fight with Madam Shen till the end.
The maximum amount which Haowen allowed her to spend was five million. Although she could talk Haowen into giving her more, this would annoy him.
“5.4 million!” Madam Shen continued to bid. “Hey, that dirty mistress over there. Are you sure you wanna fight with me? Ok then, I’ll fight with you till the end!”
At this moment, people would think that she was afraid of Madam Shen if she didn’t respond. Many people in the social circle knew about the ugly incidence between Yuya and Madam Shen. Thus, she couldn’t give up now. “6 million!”
Xia Ruya pulled her clothes slightly and said, “Aunt Ning, six million already. Don’t fight with Madam Shen anymore. She’s a tough woman who has dominance over her husband. She controls all her husband’s assets and is famous for being rich. There’s no way we can win her. It’s obvious that she wants to humiliate you.”
“Exactly. If I tolerate this, she would think that I’m afraid of her. How am I going to stay in the social circle in the future?” Ning Shuqian had a poor background. Even though she married into the Wen Family 15 years ago, she was not recognized by Old Mr. Wen. Also, she didn’t have many close friends in the social circle. Subconsciously, she felt inferior to others. The condescending attitude displayed by Madam Shen provoked the sense of inferiority inside her. She couldn’t be looked down by others on such occasion.
Xia Ruya whispered to Ning Shuqian anxiously, “But Uncle Wen will be angry if he knows about this.”
She intervened because she knew about the five-million limit which Uncle Wen granted Aunt Ning.
Ning Shuqian’s heart shrank at this, scared. However, she couldn’t stand being humiliated by Madam Shen. “This auction is a live broadcast. Uncle Wen will be embarrassed if I give up now.”
Xia Ruya agreed but still felt a bit worried. She asked softly, “How about I text Uncle Wen and inform him about the situation here?”
Ning Shuqian waved her hand and said, “No.”
“That dirty mistress, are you scared? That’s only 6 million. You tried so hard to marry into an aristocratic family for so many years, 6 million is all you have? I feel bad for you.”
Some people in the crowd couldn’t hold their laughter.
Wen Xinya sighed. This Madam Shen really was something. She insulted Ning Shuqian’s poor background and accused her of breaking up other people’s family.
Ning Shuqian couldn’t stand such an insult. The best was yet to come.
“6.4 million, 6.4 million! Pink diamond from Cartier! A diamond lasts forever, what are you waiting for? Is anyone going to bid higher? 6.4 million going once, 6.4 million going twice, 6.4 million going…” The auctioneer shouted passionately.
“7 million!” Ning Shuqian called the price as the auctioneer was about to hit the gavel.
“7.4 million!” Madam Shen followed right away.
Ning Shuqian was a bit scared and wanted to quit. However, all eyes were on her. This was the kind of attention she wanted. She had no choice but to bid higher. “7.5 million!”
“8 million!” Madam Shen looked at Ning Shuqian and sneered. “Don’t bite off more than you can chew. It’s just shameful.” She said that as if the pair of diamond earrings were already hers.
Madam Shen was insinuating that Ning Shuqian didn’t have the money to bid for the earrings yet still wanted to fight with her. The condescending look in her eyes provoked Ning Shuqian. “8.1 million!” Ning Shuqian raised her hand out of impulse.
Madam Shen laughed and said, “How generous of Madam Ning! You bid 8.1 million for a pair of pink diamond earrings which are worth 2 million. Your kind heart is as broad as a river. Physically impaired children and schools in rural mountains will have a brighter future because of you! You deserve an award as the top 10 goodwill ambassador of the Capital city. I really admire you. See? This is what a kind soul is like. We should all learn from Madam Ning in the future.”
The crowd went silent.
After a while, people couldn’t help but laugh softly.
Wen Xinya couldn’t help but laugh as well. This Madam Shen was really interesting. Her sarcasm and insinuation made people laugh. No wonder she had a good reputation in the social circle.
She called Ning Shuqian Madam Ning to make her look bad. She wanted to tell everyone that Ning Shuqian was not recognized by the Wen Family and didn’t deserve the title of “Madam Wen.”
Even a cunning woman like Ning Shuqian would have to admit defeat in front of Madam Shen.
Ning Shuqian’s eyes darkened. She felt that the laughter around her was like a million awls piercing her head, causing a severe headache which made her pupils dilate.
She was tricked!
Her image which she tried so hard to build for years suddenly became a joke.
Someone in the crowd led a big round of applause for Madam Shen’s speech.
Ning Shuqian was so embarrassed that she wanted to hide. The rapturous applause was like a gigantic meat grinder, grinding her heart constantly. The sounds of applause were driving her crazy.
Xia Ruya was frightened by Ning Shuqian’s pale expression. “Aunt Ning, Aunt Ning! What’s wrong? Don’t scare me, please!”
“I—am—fine!” These three words came out of her trembling lips with anger.
