A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 239 Fight Between Men

"If we manage to get Mr Chu's item, we'd be connected to Mr Chu somehow and we might be able to

see him next time, right?" Qiu Mu-Cheng continued to console Su Qian.

Qiu Mu-Cheng wanted to come to this auction very badly also because she really wanted to see that

Mr Chu too. She wanted to see if her crazy idea was true.

But Qiu Mu-Cheng was suddenly not so fixated on this idea anymore.

Regardless of who Mr Chu really was, she just knew that as long as Ye Fan was the Ye Fan she knew,

that was good enough.

She started to secretly look towards the man next to her.

Ye Fan had just remained quiet all this while.

He was just quietly listening to the two ladies talk and quietly watched the proceedings of the auction

downstairs.

"The following item is a 500 year old wild ginseng. As everyone knows, wild ginseng is a rare herb that

is not only effective for prolonging life, but it is also extremely beneficial to supplement the kidneys and

keep away related ailments. Ordinary wild ginseng already has such benefits, so what more a rare one

that is this old? This high grade supplement is great for both men and women, and people of all ages.

The bid will start at $4 million," announced the auctioneer loudly as his voice boomed through the hall.

"Oh?" Sun Yu-Hao had closed his eyes to rest earlier, but slowly opened his eyes when he heard this

item being announced. He smiled to himself and said, "I didn't expect this auction to carry something so

rare."

"I'm definitely getting my hands on this wild ginseng!"

Sun Yu-Hao beamed proudly and made an offer, "$4.5 million!" "$5 million!" An intense bidding war

started and this wild ginseng soon reached $6 million.

"$7 million!" Sun Yu-Hao shouted once more and his authoritative and domineering voice swept the

hall.

After Sun Yu-Hao made such an offer, all the others who were bidding against him earlier decided to

stop.

This ginseng was rare, but $7 million was a bit too much to pay for it. If the bids went any higher, it

wouldn't be worth it anymore.

Once he saw that nobody else was going to fight him for it, a victorious smile appeared on Sun Yu-

Hao's lips, as if that wild ginseng was already his.

"Yu-Hao, isn't this something for the elderly? Why did you bid for this?" Han Fei-Fei asked him.

Sun Yu-Hao's expression faltered a little and he replied her after a while, "Oh, I'm buying this for my

grandfather. He's getting on in age and it's good for him to take such supplements."

"Wow, Yu-Hao, you're such a filial grandson!" Han Fei-Fei started singing his praises again.

She wouldn't have imagined that Sun Yu-Hao had actually bought this for himself.

Very few people knew that Sun Yu-Hao suffered from sexual dysfunction. Back then, his first girlfriend

had broken up with him because he wasn't able to satisfy her in this aspect.

This was a thorn that was always in Sun Yu-Hao's heart. After so many years, Sun Yu-Hao had tried all

means and ways but he never seemed to get better.

After he heard that this wild ginseng was great for the kidneys, which also implied a boost in potency

for men in Chinese medicine, Sun Yu-Hao was definitely getting this wild ginseng regardless of how

much it cost in order to ensure he had a blissful marriage in the future.

As for why he lied to Han Fei-Fei...well, nobody would tell someone else about such a thing!

"Anymore bidders? If not, this wild ginseng..." The auctioneer looked around as his voice rang loudly in

everyone's ears.

But just when Sun Yu-Hao was sure that this wild ginseng was his, a voice suddenly called out. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

"$8 million!"

What?

Sun Yu-Hao's proud look immediately sank and the smile on his face froze.

"What the hell?"

"What are you doing?"

"Are you nuts?"

Qiu Mu-Cheng and Su Qian were frightened to death in their private room.

Su Qian in particular, never thought that Ye

Fan would dare to put up an $8 million bid.

"Do you have so much money? You're just a pauper and you dare to place an $8 million bid?! You're

just trying to make trouble, aren't you? Do you know where you are? Are you tired of living?" shouted

Su Qian both angrily and in shock at Ye Fan.

Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't understand either and she glared at Ye Fan. "Ye Fan, what are you trying to do?"

"You're doing fine, so why do you need wild ginseng? Is your body so weak that you need ginseng

now?”

Ye Fan just calmly replied, "I just want it. I've never eaten it before and I want to try it. Don't worry, since

I dared to put up a bid, it means I have my own means of payment. You don't have to worry and there's

nothing you can do about it either. This is a war between men."

"You..." Ye Fan was really going to drive Qiu Mu-Cheng to her grave right there and then.

Had he become complacent just because he managed to find a rock with imperial jade inside?

Even if he had money, this was no way to spend it!

But Qiu Mu-Cheng couldn't stop Ye Fan at all. After Sun Yu-Hao raised his bid, Ye Fan followed and

raised it to $9 million!

"Damn it! Which asshole is doing this! How dare he snatch what I want from me?” Sun Yu-Hao was

furious and he looked around to try finding the other bidder, but he was disappointed.

The voice was coming from one of the rooms upstairs and he couldn't see who it was either.

But Sun Yu-Hao wasn't someone who admitted defeat easily. He put up a bid for $10 million and yelled

towards the room upstairs, "Friend, do me a favor, will you?"

"My grandfather is in poor health and really needs this wild ginseng. If you could do me this favor, then

I, Sun Yu-Hao, the eldest grandson of the Sun family of Jianghai, will be eternally grateful to you!"

Sun Yu-Hao purposely emphasized on the word 'Jianghai'.

After all, Jianghai was the main city in Jiangdong province and he believed that his identity would make

the other party more wary now.

But Sun Yu-Hao had thought too highly of himself.

After Sun Yu-Hao said that, the other party called out, "12 million!"

"Why you...!"

Sun Yu-Hao's face was all red from anger and he was trembling. It was as if someone had just slapped

him in the face.

Ye Fan just laughed coldly in his heart.

The Sun family of Jianghai?

And he even said his name out loud!

Well, Ye Fan was purposely doing this precisely because it was Sun Yu-Hao who was bidding!

"Thir..." Sun Yu-Hao was clearly not backing down and wanted to bid further, but Li stopped him from

doing so.

"Young Master, we have more important business than this. We've already spent a lot of money at the

jade auction, so we can't afford to spend too much now."

In the end, Sun Yu-Hao gave up after Li persuaded him, and the wild ginseng landed in Ye Fan's

hands.

But even though Ye Fan had successfully bid for this wild ginseng, he was not having it easy either.

Qiu Mu-Cheng and Su Qian were both berating him.

"Good god! You actually called out for $12 million?! Who do you think you are? Some super powerful

guy? Some property magnate? You're just a pauper from the village! What are you going to use to pay

for this with? If you can't fork the money out, you're going to land my Mu-Cheng in hot soup! Seriously,

having an idiot for a husband is the worst thing to happen to Mu-Cheng!" Su Qian was so furious and

she couldn't stop scolding Ye Fan.

He was just a country bumpkin with neither money nor power, but he actually dared to go up against a

rich man's son in this sort of place.

What was he trying to do?

Did he think he was god or something?

But Ye Fan still replied Su Qian calmly, "I have my own means to settle the payment, you don't have to

worry. I can still afford $12 million."
