"Eleven million." Li Yichen smiled with feigned indifference. "That's everything I have. If you bid any higher, take it and make egg drop soup."
"You..." Jiang Tianhao's expression shifted uncertainly. Looking at Li Yichen's infuriating face, he wanted nothing more than to punch it.
He was wavering now. He had a nagging feeling that if Li Yichen wanted this egg, there might really be something special about it. But what if he bet wrong?
"Eleven million, going once... eleven million, going twice..." Su Shengnan ignored their little games and faithfully followed the auction procedure.
In truth, she had her doubts too. The egg had been provided by the Su Family. Apparently, it had been sitting in their storeroom for over a century, and she had only recently discovered it.
Although she had no idea why Li Yichen would spend over ten million on it, her instincts told her he was certainly not a reckless man. At the very least, the egg was worth that much in his eyes.
In the end, Jiang Tianhao gritted his teeth and gave up. Then he said with affected nonchalance, "Since you like it so much, I'll let you have it."
"Tch..." Li Yichen curled his lip in disdain. "I thought you could keep it up to the end. Who knew you'd go limp the moment it mattered?"
"You..." Jiang Tianhao shot to his feet, his clenched fists cracking.
"What? Can't win an argument, so you want to fight?" Li Yichen sneered. "Come on, then. You think I'm scared of you?"
Su Shengnan felt a headache coming on. This fellow really knew how to stir up trouble.
She said sternly, "Gentlemen, this is Su Family property. Please respect our rules."
Jiang Tianhao snorted again and sat down.
Li Yichen also shut his mouth, looking disgruntled.
