My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

It seems that Lin Shu felt the value of this advancement fruit far exceeded its intrinsic worth, and thus withdrew from the auction.

In this situation, lending Lin Shu two hundred million would save face for her, and she wouldn't have to worry about Lin Shu affecting her plans for tonight.

"Two hundred million?"

Lin Shu propped her face up with one hand and said, "Forget it, there are already tens of billions here, two hundred million is really just a drop in the bucket."

She knew one thing very well: she had to get her hands on this extraordinary fruit.

In this situation, if Liu Jun lends her money, it will definitely cause Liu Jun a lot of trouble.

So from the beginning, her asking Liu Yun for money was just a pretext. On the one hand, it was to divert Liu Yun's attention, and on the other hand, it was to test whether Qing Yaoxu had any other plans.

Judging from Liu Yun's reaction, Qing Yaoxu's side does not seem to have enough funds.

Otherwise, Liu Yun would not have made an excuse to refuse when she heard that she wanted to borrow money.

After all, a few hundred million is of no use in the competition for extraordinary fruits.

Some people might think that Qingyao Xu can bid on items in her own auction house without having to pay anything in the end.

In fact, that is not the case.

The reason why Qingyaoxu was able to rise to prominence and become the largest auction house in Xia Kingdom in just over a decade is because Qingyaoxu is fair enough, at least on the surface.

The auction held by Qingyaoxu involves three steps in the process of selling the auctioned items.

Bidding!

Pay up!

delivery!

Furthermore, these three steps must be performed in front of everyone.

To this end, Qingyaoxu also prepared masks for the VIPs in each private room in advance to protect their privacy.

It is precisely because of this that Qingyao Xu has no way to falsify anything.

Hearing Lin Shu's reply, Liu Yun breathed a sigh of relief. "Sister Lin, I'll keep an eye out for related rare and precious herbs and I'll definitely sell them to you at an insider price."

"Given our relationship, Lin Mo is like my own nephew. I will definitely save the good stuff for him."

Lin Shu had no doubt about the truthfulness of Liu Yun's words and nodded with a smile, "Thank you."

After saying that, she glanced at her son.

Lin Mo understood, stood up, bowed to Liu Yun, and thanked her, "Thank you, Sister Yun."

"Small things."

Liu Yun waved her hand, then focused her attention on the ongoing auction, commenting without batting an eye, "I didn't expect this advancement fruit to fetch such an astronomical price. Do these people's money grow on trees?"

"Yes."

Lin Mo nodded in agreement, and the next second, his expression was quite unsurprised: "I thought my mother was already very rich, but I didn't expect these people to be even richer. There really are people more powerful than you, and there's always something beyond your reach!"

The moment he spoke, he subtly gave his mother a look.

Upon hearing her son's encouragement, Lin Shu immediately feigned indignation, slamming her hand on the sofa armrest. "Xiao Mo, what do you mean by that? Are you implying that your mother is bragging?"

Lin Mo was not intimidated at all. "Isn't that right? You always brag to your son about how rich you are, but now you don't dare to participate in the auction. Isn't that just bragging?"

"you……"

Lin Shu angrily shook her hand, "Fine, I'll show you today whether I'm bragging or not!"

An Youyu sat upright, her jade lips pursed: "I am air, I am air..."

Chapter 280 Intensifying!

Liu Jun, oblivious to the situation, was successfully fooled by the mother and son's acting skills and tried to persuade them, "Lin Mo, how can you talk to your mother like that? Look how angry you've made her!"

After scolding Lin Mo, she comforted Lin Shu, saying, "Sister Lin, the child is just being childish, don't take it to heart."

Thinking this would stop him, Lin Shu glared at him and said, "Xiao Jun, don't worry about this. I'm a mother, after all. How can I let my own son look down on me? Today I'm going to show this kid whether I'm bragging or not!"

"It's just a fruit that's useful to martial artists. I'll buy it even if it means going bankrupt!"

After saying that, Lin Shu picked up the bidding device on the table and started rapidly clicking with her thumb, clicking dozens of times in one go before stopping.

"One hundred and sixty-eight billion!"

"Box number one has offered 16.8 billion!"

When the auctioneer announced the price, apart from the few private rooms where the bidding was taking place, all the VIPs in the remaining private rooms were completely stunned.

They added 6.8 billion in one go?

Good heavens!

Having money is one thing, but spending it like this is another!

Lin Shu's eyelids twitched, clearly looking for praise, "Do you still dare to say that your mother is bragging?"

Lin Mo shook his head frantically and jumped up from the sofa, shouting, "Mom is awesome!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Shu became incredibly excited and quickly started pressing the buttons on the bidding machine again.

"Two hundred and thirty-nine billion!"

"Box number one...bid 23.9 billion!"

This time, even the auctioneer was somewhat bewildered.

what's going on?

Didn't we just place an offer for this VIP room number one?

Why are you raising the price when no one else has made a bid?

If the auctioneer was so shocked, what about the others? Even the few people who participated in the bidding were stunned by Lin Shu's move of raising the price on his own.

What is this doing?

Too much money to burn?

Inside VIP Box Number One.

Liu Yun stared blankly at Lin Shu opposite her, her brain seemingly frozen.

After a brief silence, Lin Mo made the exact same gesture as before.

He stood up and vigorously swung his right hand.

"Mom is so cool!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Shu became excited again, "Add more! I'll add more!"

Before she could finish speaking, she had already started frantically pressing the bidding button in her hand.

"Two hundred and ninety-nine billion!"

"Box number one...bid 29.9 billion!"

The auctioneer was almost in tears when he saw the latest bids from Box 1.

Is this person crazy?

Why have they become so addicted to raising prices for themselves?

In just two or three minutes, one person single-handedly increased the price by nearly 20 billion.

Such behavior is utterly absurd!

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, no one would believe it was real.

"Thirty billion!"

"Box number 27 has offered 30 billion!"

The auctioneer's tense expression briefly relaxed as the bid was placed in box number 27.

Liu Yun stared blankly at Lin Shu without saying a word.

By now, she had figured out a lot of things.

As the branch manager of Qingyaoxu branch, she was no fool. Her initial shock and confusion had completely disappeared after Lin Shu raised the price twice on his own.

In a short moment, she understood everything.

"Sister Lin, you and Lin Mo really put on a good show for my sister!"

"Isn't this to make things easier for you?"

Lin Shu did not deny it, after all, there was no way to deny such a thing.

Liu Yun's expression was complicated. "The Lin family has already entered the competition in the capital, are they not letting this place off the hook either?"

"You think too much."

Lin Shu shook her head. "This is just my personal behavior and has nothing to do with the Lin family."

Liu Yun sighed, "Sister Lin, do you think I would believe such a thing? As the eldest daughter of the Lin family, your actions represent the Lin family. Moreover, how could you participate in this auction for the advanced... extraordinary fruit without the Lin family's help?"

Lin Shu smiled but didn't explain further. "Xiao Jun, if others can participate in the auction, why can't I?"

Liu Yun remained silent.

After a full half minute, she slowly raised her head. "Sister Lin, I advise you... it's best not to get involved. The Qingyaoxu headquarters is determined to get this extraordinary fruit. They have already made all the necessary preparations. Even if you manage to get it, you probably won't be able to take it with you."

"Xiaojun, thank you."

Lin Shu knew perfectly well that Liu Yun would never have said such things to anyone else.

However, she never gives up on things she has set her mind on.

Even though she knew that Qingyao had prepared everything, it was still the same.

After saying that, she raised the price to 35 billion!

This action has already shown her attitude.

Seeing this, Liu Yun frowned deeply, her expression filled with bitterness.

As the branch manager, she knew all too well how many people the headquarters had sent to Yancheng. It was no exaggeration to say that no one except Qingyaoxu's people could take this extraordinary fruit out of Yancheng!
