1684 The Highest Price at an Auction in the Independent Continent in the Last Month His eyelids twitched. Even though he was experienced, his expression still changed slightly. “I know you want to stand up for your teacher and the others, but this price is too high. Why don’t we forget about it?” Before Qiao Nian could speak… Jiang Zongjin, who had been silent all this while, had a solemn expression on his face. He was the first to speak. “It’s fine. Let Nian Nian compete if she wants to! “The Jiang family doesn’t have much money, but we can still fork out 400 to 500 million. If she wants to compete, I’ll support her even if I have to sell my house.” Liang Conglin was speechless. The Jiang family’s assets were brought up. If it was really as Jiang Zongjin had said, it wasn’t impossible for Qiao Nian to spend all her money here. It was just an auction. Was there a need to put in so much effort? Was he going to burn down the entire Jiang family’s wealth? Liang Conglin’s worried gaze landed on the girl. Qiao Nian had always been quite calm, her half-closed eyes hiding an insufferably arrogant look. At this moment, her gaze softened a little. She said to her father, “Don’t worry, you won’t have to sell the house.” Jiang Zongjin was stunned for a moment before he smiled. He was very open-minded. He touched the girl’s shoulder, silently giving her strength. “I’m not afraid of selling the house. Anyway, Dad doesn’t value these things. As long as you’re happy. “Just be at ease and follow through boldly. Your grandfather has the same attitude. If our Jiang family wants to do something, we have to do it to the end!” Qiao Nian lowered her eyes slightly and tightened her grip. She hummed softly. She wasn’t short of money. So what if she took out a billion to play with Torre today? She didn’t take the money seriously at first, but at this moment, her heart was warm, as if someone was standing behind her. It didn’t matter even if her back was not guarded. … “500 million.” “500 million and one.” “700 million.” “700 million and one.” … As the price soared, everyone at the scene was about to fall into a state of madness. Their way of bidding made everyone feel that money was not money. Compared to the girl’s arrogance, the more Torre added, the slower the bidding speed became. Every time the hammer was about to fall, he would reluctantly increase the price. “800 million.” It was close to a billion. Torre’s heart was pounding so hard that it stopped when he spoke. It was an indescribable, complicated feeling. He was worried that the other party would not compete. He was also afraid that the other party would continue to compete. He was almost out of breath waiting for Qiao Nian. “800 million?” “800 million already?” “F*ck, this is the highest bidding price in the past month, right?” “Today is a low-level cocktail party? Hurry up and pinch me. I feel like I’m attending the Ji family’s banquet. This price is too terrifying.” 800 million was the highest price Torre could afford. Even he had to think twice before exceeding this number. He stared at the auction stage expressionlessly. His heart was beating very fast. Time was stretched infinitely for him. He watched as the auctioneer raised the mallet. The final decision was about to be made! “Tsk.” A frivolous laugh broke through his tension. Torre instinctively looked in the girl’s direction. The girl was still dressed in black with her cap low on her head. She seemed to be a little tired of playing. At this moment, she stood up leisurely and leaned against the wall beside her then looked in his direction. “One billion.” One billion! As soon as this price was quoted. The auctioneer’s mallet, which was about to fall, stopped again. The crowd erupted after three seconds of silence! ...
