Chapter 625: 627, go by yourself (second update)
[Beca a fan of Boss Mo.]
[The reticent Boss Mo.]
[The shaless Boss Mo.]
[Sohow, I feel sorry for Wang Kai.]
The auction continued, and unlike the first item that reached a sky-high price, the bids for the items in between were quite normal.
Mo Zhixuan also spent 8 million to purchase two trinkets, and as the items were auctioned off one by one, the final auction piece of the evening swiftly approached.
The emcee cleared his throat and continued, "Coming up next is the last auction item of tonight’s charity gala, finished by 28 elderly embroidery artisans over a period of 8 years and 6 months. The embroidery technique used is Tang embroidery, which is extrely intricate. Its na is—’Splendid Mountains and Rivers’!"
After the emcee finished speaking, he unveiled the red silk behind him, revealing an embroidered piece displayed in a long glass container. Each stitch was exceptionally exquisite, similar to the feel of the ’Along the River During the Qingming Festival,’ encapsulating the country’s mountains and rivers, magnificent and spectacular!
"This item has significant collector’s value. The starting bid is 20 million, and the auction begins now."
As soon as the emcee’s voice fell, a deep and magnetic male voice sounded from the darkness, "30 million."
The cara panned to Mo Zhixuan, who was sitting there casually, yet with a formidable presence that could not be ignored.
The girl next to him seed to be resting her head lightly on his shoulder, making the entire scene very pleasing to the eye.
The live comnts imdiately beca lively again, [Is Boss Mo starting to set traps again?]
"31 million." Another corporation’s boss also started bidding.
"40 million." Mo Zhixuan said.
"50 million." Wang Kai, who had been quiet until now, suddenly spoke up. Just hearing the na ’Splendid Mountains and Rivers,’ he knew he had to have this embroidered piece.
So, no matter how much Mo Zhixuan bid, he would follow!
However, through the recent event, Wang Kai had figured out Mo Zhixuan’s pattern—this man was simply a coward who was reluctant to spend money on won!
Chu Jin was probably going to be disappointed in him again!
Wang Kai was determined to obtain this embroidered piece!
"70 million." Mo Zhixuan was calm and composed.
"80 million." Wang Kai was doggedly persistent.
A whiff of gunpowder spread rapidly through the air.
Seeing the conflict between the two n, the rest of the bidders wisely chose to remain silent. Both were tycoons—not to be trifled with!
Wang Kai really was foolish!
To actually compete with a tycoon like Mo Zhixuan! Doesn’t he know that gentlen do not covet what others esteem?
"100 million."
"150 million."
[It looks like Boss Mo is serious this ti.]
[That Wang Kai, is he stupid? He got tricked by Boss Mo once already, yet he still dares to challenge him.]
[Wang Kai is an idiot, case closed!]
[Boss Mo is so handso when he’s serious.]
Wang Kai actually couldn’t continue, but he still raised his paddle, "200 million."
Mo Zhixuan was unhesitant, "300 million."
Wang Kai, grinding his teeth and staring intently at Mo Zhixuan’s back, steeled himself and continued, "350 million."
When the bid reached 350 million, the entire venue fell silent, all eyes turning their way.
They thought, Wang Kai must be foolish, surely he’s about to be duped by Mo Zhixuan again!
The Wang family has surely produced a prodigal son.
Just when everyone thought Mo Zhixuan would not bid any further, Mo Zhixuan finally spoke, "400 million." It’s just money after all—he had plenty of it!
million?
The crowd gasped in unison.
The live comnts were stunned too.
Wang Kai took a deep breath and held up his paddle again, "410 million."
"1 billion." Mr. Mo’s tone was casual, as if discussing what to have for breakfast tomorrow morning, completely unaffected by the astronomical figure he had just called out.
billion?
Even Wang Kai was struggling to bear that number. In fact, he had already been at his limit at 350 million, but for Chu Jin, he kept on gritting his teeth and persevering. Now, he still persisted! He couldn’t let Chu Jin look down on him!
Just as Wang Kai was about to raise his paddle again, his phone in his pocket began to vibrate.
The caller ID read "Dad."
Wang Kai bent down, pressed the answer button, and whispered, "Dad..."
"Dad," had barely left my lips before an angry voice ca blaring through the other side.
"Wang Kai! You wastrel! 4.1 billion! You really dared to call that out! Are you planning to sell your father, or are you planning to sell your mother? Don’t you know our family’s situation? You don’t have the money, so what’s with acting like a tycoon! And that billion for the Dragon and Phoenix bracelet, you’d better figure out how to pay for it yourself. Your old man has no money to support your squandering!"
With that, Wang Liye hung up the phone with a snap.
The person on the other side of the phone call was so angry that his heart problems almost flared up, and the housekeeper hurriedly handed him his quick-acting heart pills.
In recent years, with the market outlook growing ever dimr, the Wang Clan’s turnover hadn’t hit a billion for several years!
And there went Wang Kai, squandering so much at a single charity gala!
Watching the disconnected call, a flicker of indignation passed through Wang Kai’s eyes, but all he could do was sit back down.
Even the usually composed host was startled by the astronomical figure, and sowhat dazedly she said, "1 billion once, 1 billion twice, 1 billion three tis, sold!"
With a hamr strike, it was decided.
"Congratulations to President Mo, Mr. Mo, for acquiring this auction item, ’Magnificent Landscapes’!"
The live comnts were virtually going insane.
billion!
A number so staggering that ordinary people wouldn’t even dare to think about it.
[Boss Mo truly is the world’s richest man! Incredible!]
[We don’t understand the world of the rich, spending 1 billion just for a piece of embroidery...]
[He’s not just buying stuff, he’s being charitable! You mortals wouldn’t understand.]
[Boss Mo is truly impressive!]
"Mr. Mo, could you say a few words about why you were willing to spend 1.5 billion to purchase this embroidery?" the host excitedly requested Mo Zhixuan to co up on stage.
Mo Zhixuan, tall and leggy with handso features, made the host seem suddenly lackluster in comparison as soon as he stepped up, despite her otherwise high attractiveness.
Indeed, it’s all about comparisons.
Mo Zhixuan casually adjusted the microphone before slowly beginning, "On one hand, it’s to support charitable causes, and on the other, it’s for my fiancée, because her na contains ’Jin’, which is the ’Jin’ in ’Magnificent Landscapes’. Additionally, I want to use this opportunity to warn a certain young man present here: if you want to compete with , Mo Zhixuan, for sothing, you’re still green. If it’s sothing I don’t fancy, you might have a chance to find a bargain! This ti, considering your youth, I’ll let you off. But if there’s a next ti, I won’t mind bankrupting you! Also, I have a ssage for him: Know thyself! Swan at will always be swan at, and toads will always be toads!"
The last words virtually pointed directly at Wang Kai’s nose.
Upon hearing this, a chorus of cheers erupted in the live comnts.
[Ah! Boss Mo is so domineering!]
[I’m moved to tears!]
[Boss Mo is truly V587]
[Boss Mo is so wickedly clever!]
[A real-life dark CEO.]
[Suddenly fell for Boss Mo!]
[Swan at will always be swan at, toads will always be toads! Well said, let’s root for Boss Mo.]
[The National Goddess is so lucky to have a Boss Mo who loves her so much.]
[True lovebirds! I admire this dose of PDA.]
[Handing over the National Goddess to you, I’m totally at ease.]
[Haha, Boss Mo is so shaless! He just swindled Wang Kai out of a billion and still claims he was rciful! If you weren’t rciful, how much would you have swindled?]
[Bankrupt him, didn’t Boss Mo just say it.]
With those words, everyone below stage also understood the true intention behind Mo Zhixuan’s deliberate bidding up of the Dragon and Phoenix bracelets.
Mo Zhixuan was using this event to warn Wang Kai not to covet the impossible!
No one could snatch sothing from Mo Zhixuan’s hands.
Bankrupting the Wang family was nothing more than a flick of the finger for Mo Zhixuan!
Realizing the truth, Wang Kai clenched his fists in utter humiliation!
Damn Mo Zhixuan!
He’d fallen right into his trap!
Chu Jin would surely look down on him even more now.
The Wang Group’s reputation had been thoroughly trashed by him.
After listening to Mo Zhixuan’s words, the host, filled with excitent as if she had thought of sothing, then asked, "Mr. Mo, may I ask you a personal question?"
"Go ahead," Mo Zhixuan, unusually, did not refuse.
The host cleared her throat and continued, "Mr. Mo, since your fiancée is Chu Jin, on behalf of the entire nation’s audience, I’d like to ask you about the event on New Year’s Eve that blew up social dia with a mysterious tycoon’s public confession. Were you and Miss Chu Jin the ones involved?"
That day, won all over the country ca to know the woman called "Jin."
This "Jin" had also beco universally acknowledged by all the won in the city as "the luckiest woman."
She had beco the person everyone imagined her to be.
Only, the protagonist of the story had yet to make an appearance, adding to the mystery.
Thus, even though several months had passed, the feverish interest remained unabated.
With these words, the barrage on the screen beca quite spectacular.
[Ah! The hostess is so clever!]
[It feels like Boss Mo’s handiwork.]
[Right, I almost forgot, the na of the heroine displayed on the big screen back then seed to be Jin!]
[So, Jin equals Chu Jin?]
[It doesn’t seem like sothing a cold person like Boss Mo would do.]
[Jin, Jin! Jin must definitely be the goddess! Didn’t you guys see that Boss Mo just called her Jin?]
Not only were the netizens curious, but even the audience below the stage was very interested, all turning their gazes towards Mo Zhixuan.
Unlikely, right?
Such a cold person, doing sothing so romantic.
Mo Zhixuan did not hesitate and nodded slightly, "It’s us."
The host was soone who knew how to seize the mont and imdiately followed up, "Then may I ask, Mr. Mo, have you and Miss Chu set a date for your wedding?"
Mo Zhixuan was also willing to play along; after all, he was taking advantage of this charity gala to make a high-profile announcent of his wedding plans. Naturally, he wouldn’t let this opportunity slip away, "Once Jin finishes her studies, we will hold the wedding. At that ti, I welco everyone present to co and drink to my joy."
"Great." The audience below the stage was very excited, clapping and cheering, and the atmosphere was extrely lively.
Reputable public figures never speak idly, especially soone like Mo Zhixuan. His words are like decrees, and once spoken, they must be fulfilled. Now that he’d made such a declaration, co the day of his grand wedding, he would surely send invitations to everyone seated there.
Of course, to be able to attend the wedding of the Mo family’s head was a great honor, hence the audience’s enthusiasm!
Having said that, Mo Zhixuan started to walk down from the stage.
He had said all he wanted to, and now the whole world knew that Jin was his wife. He could finally stop worrying about anyone daring to covet her!
The charity auction ended perfectly.
Mo Zhixuan took Chu Jin and the winning bid item and went ho. On the way back, Mr. Mo’s lips carried a faint smile.
Wang Kai, on the other hand, had just arrived ho when he was fiercely scolded by Wang Liye!
"Are you an idiot? A prodigal son! A billion, that’s a billion, not ten or twenty million! Our Wang family is going to be ruined by a prodigal like you!" Although Wang Liye had toughly stated earlier that Wang Kai should deal with that one billion himself, after all, this was his own son, and moreover, he represented the Wang family, so right after the auction ended, Wang Liye imdiately had the money delivered!
If it weren’t sent, it would be the face of the entire Wang family that was lost.
Wang Kai did not speak, just looked at Wang Liye with not even a hint of regret in his eyes.
He was spoiled from a young age, with no real concept of money; to him, one billion was no different from one hundred million.
What he did not know was that one billion was one fifth of the entire Wang family’s total assets.
Seeing his son silent, Wang Liye cooled his anger a bit and continued.
"And another thing! How exactly did you manage to offend the head of the Mo family? Tomorrow, you’ll accompany
to personally apologize at Mo Group!"
Originally, Wang Liye had intended to train Wang Kai’s independence and social skills and expose him to big event experiences. However, he didn’t expect Wang Kai to be so disappointing, not only throwing away a billion for nothing.
But he also managed, with no tact at all, to offend Mo Zhixuan!
Was Mo Zhixuan soone their sort of family could easily provoke? A single flick of his little finger could destroy the Wang family!
Wang Kai raised his head coldly and roared, "If you want to go, you go yourself! Anyway, I won’t bow down to that kind of person!" With that, he picked up a blue-and-white porcelain vase, threw it harshly to the ground, then darted into the bedroom, banging the door shut with a "bang."
"Rebellion! Complete rebellion!" Wang Liye, clutching his heart, staggered backwards several steps, gasping for air.
"Old Wang, don’t be angry, don’t be angry, you’ll hurt your body with anger. Kai is still a child, why are you quarreling with a child..." Mrs. Wang hurriedly rushed over to smooth things over.
"Such a loving mother leads to a ruined son!" Wang Liye coldly kicked Mrs. Wang away, "If you hadn’t protected him from behind, would he have turned out like this today? Rebellious son! A rebellious son!"
"Can you bla it all on ? Didn’t you spoil him usually? Besides, Kai is our family’s only son, if we don’t spoil him, then who should we...?" Mrs. Wang said, then began to cry, covering her face with her hands.
Wang Liye sighed heavily in frustration!
Chaos engulfed the Wang household.
Chu Jin and Mo Zhixuan, however, were at ease; after the charity gala, they picked a night market, and at the mont, they were seated in front of a barbecue stall enjoying skewers.
The two consciously subdued their presence, so not many people noticed them.
The forr Mo Zhixuan, who suffered from severe mysophobia, was aloof, abstinent, and a loner, seed to have truly disappeared. At this mont, he, like every ordinary man, had the sa dream.
Marry a wife, have children.
Every night, have a wife to warm the bed.
Or, warm the bed for his wife.
"I have sothing to tell you," Chu Jin said while eating skewers, "Duanmu ca to see
today."
"What did he co to see you for?" Mo Zhixuan picked out the flesh from the fish head on the grill and placed it into Chu Jin’s bowl.
The most exquisite part of a fish is the flesh on its face, which is tender, delicious, and highly nutritious. However, this type of at is usually quite scarce, amounting to no more than the size of a chopstick tip.
"That idiot! To only realize now that Qingyi is missing!" Chu Jin continued, "But from his deanor, it’s obvious he’s really fond of Qingyi. With such a huge misunderstanding this ti, I don’t know if they can still end up together."
By the end, Chu Jin’s gaze turned lancholic.
When it ca to the marital affairs of Mo Qingyi, her future sister-in-law, Chu Jin was truly attentive. After all, she was Mo Zhixuan’s only sister.
Most importantly, Mo Qingyi was also her dear comrade!
"They will," Mo Zhixuan bit into a piece of lamb, "as long as they truly love each other, they’ll definitely end up together, unless Duan Mu’s love isn’t steadfast enough."
In the past, Mo Zhixuan had no idea what love really was, but now he understood!
Love above all else.
No hardship can stop the power of true love.
For instance, him and her.
Despite so many trials and tribulations in their future, they still managed to walk through it all together!
"Mhm," Chu Jin’s eyes curled into crescents, a beaming smile on her face as she looked at Mo Zhixuan, "You’re right."
The gleam in those peach blossom eyes sparkled brilliantly, shining resplendently in the night.
Mo Zhixuan was montarily lost in a trance, then reached out to ruffle her hair.
The two of them comfortably continued skewering their food, unaware that Weibo was blowing up over the charity event!
The phrases "dog-abuse couple," "Head of the Mo family," and "National Goddess" were pushed to the top searches by fervent netizens.
And soone recognized that the National Goddess was the sa female doctor who had treated the wounded in South Mountain Town during the earthquake.
Mo Zhixuan was the male doctor who had always been by her side.
The two of them had even previously trended on Weibo for their joint earthquake relief efforts.
*The world’s most beautiful love*
However, back in South Mountain Town at that ti, both were clad in white coats and masked, moving amidst the earthquake ruins, and no one saw their true faces. So, even though they trended, no one knew who they really were.
They were recognized this ti because of the villagers from South Mountain Town.
To those villagers, Chu Jin and Mo Zhixuan were lifesavers, so no matter how much ti had passed, they still rembered them.
So even uploaded photos from the ti of the earthquake.
There were two photos in total. One showed them both fully covered, operating on patients.
The other was obviously taken on the sly.
The background was a ruin. Perhaps from exhaustion, the man nonchalantly sat on a rock, and the woman next to him gently rested her head on his shoulder with her eyes shut, seemingly taking a rest.
Since they were resting, both were wearing only white coats and no masks, allowing people to clearly see that they were Mo Zhixuan and their National Goddess.
[I really never thought my goddess had already been so famous a long ti ago!]
[To be honest, my goddess is just too low-key! She clearly has the potential to be popular. She doesn’t start a Weibo account, doesn’t endorse advertisents, and even wears a mask when she trends! If my goddess decided to join a certain circle, I bet she would carry it all by herself!]
[So thrilled, so moved by my goddess!]
[Boss Mo, you must truly cherish my goddess!]
[Boss Mo must have saved the galaxy in his last life, to et my goddess in this one!]
[Ahhh! I adored this couple during the earthquake relief! I never expected the female lead to be my goddess!]
[A perfect match, a perfect match!]
[So ’the most beautiful love’ is about Boss Mo and my goddess!]
[Indeed the most beautiful love.]
[So excited! I didn’t choose the wrong person to like!]
[The more I learn about them, the more I like them! They’re low-profile when they need to be, and high-profile when it’s called for.]
[Wishing you a long and happy journey together.]
[9999999]
[Love you guys! But why haven’t my goddess and Boss Mo started a Weibo account yet?]
[I beg the goddess and Boss Mo to open Weibo accounts, I want to see your love on Weibo.]
So, the National Goddess and the Head of the Mo family were on fire once again.
Blazingly on fire.
That evening, Weibo crashed several tis.
And with Mo Zhixuan’s rise to fa, even his personal Weibo account was dug up.
Eating Grapes without Spitting Out the Skins V: "Co and see, this is your Boss Mo’s Weibo. Take a look for yourselves, what kind of person your Boss Mo is. @初相识V."
