Chapter 149 - 149 Yellow Rosewood
149 Yellow Rosewood
“Wait outside.”
Wang Hai ordered the staff outside coldly. He turned to look at the pitiful Ji Xue and an evil thought suddenly rose in his heart. “You want a bank card? Take it from my pocket.”
Ji Xue’s hand trembled. She tentatively reached into his pocket, but he grabbed her wrist with such strength that she couldn’t help but cry out in pain.
However, the pain on her face undoubtedly aroused the man’s desire to torture her. Wang Hai smiled evilly and raised his eyebrows as he ordered, “Kneel down and take the bank card out of my pocket with your mouth.”
“W-What did you say?” Ji Xue blinked as if she did not understand what he meant.
Wang Hai didn’t have much patience. He sneered and said, “I don’t want to repeat myself.”
This time, Ji Xue could not pretend to be confused. She bit her lower lip hard and held back her tears of humiliation. She slowly knelt on the ground and tentatively stuck her head out. Only when she touched the man’s pocket did she stick out her pink tongue and reach into the depths of the pocket. Just as he said, she took the bank card out using her mouth.
Wang Hai patted her head as if he was rewarding her. He mercifully sat on a chair at the side and took a sip of red wine. He couldn’t help but laugh. “Now you can go over and pay the bill, my baby.”
Ji Xue’s eyes flickered as if she could already imagine what kind of life awaited her.
In the private room next door, even Shi Mu, who knew nothing about wood gambling, could tell that the composition of that thing was extremely poor. Even if it was thrown by the roadside, not many people would pick it up.
A ridiculous thought suddenly arose in his heart. He inexplicably felt that his sister was probably fishing when she suddenly bid just now. His eyes darted around as he continued to peel pine nuts for her and asked casually, “The material of this thing is so poor. Fortunately, we didn’t buy it just now. But Sister, why did you take a fancy to this wood?”
Shi Man held back her laughter and saw through his thoughts, but she did not choose to expose him. Instead, she blinked innocently and said matter-of-factly, “The shape of that piece of wood looks good. I want to bring it home to decorate the flower pot in the room.”
“I see.” Shi Mu heaved a sigh of relief.
Meeting his sister’s probing gaze, he hurriedly coughed awkwardly and explained, “I was afraid that you would feel regretful that you didn’t buy what you liked. So you just wanted an accessory. What’s so difficult about that? When we go back, I’ll choose something a hundred times better for you!”
“Okay.” Shi Man nodded slightly and continued to look at the auction venue.
The wood gambling segment was not over yet, but there were only three pieces of wood left.
Soon, the next piece of wood was carried up by the staff. Shi Man glanced at it and smiled determinedly.
After the five million and six million bids had been wasted, everyone present became even more cautious when bidding again.
Shi Man couldn’t be bothered to argue with them. She picked up her pen and wrote 100,000 on the machine.
With the record of her bidding for a piece of trash just now, the VIPs in the other private rooms did not blindly follow suit this time. Instead, they chose to watch.
The people who had bid just now chose to forfeit when they saw the people in Private Room Three bidding again.
Just as Shi Man had expected, she only used 100,000 to buy this wood.
Initially, everyone thought that another unlucky person would be born. However, after the host cut open the wood and revealed the material inside, they were instantly shocked beyond words.
No one expected that the interior of this piece of wood that they did not think highly of was actually filled with yellow rosewood. Not to mention 100,000, even a billion was worth it!
Shi Mu also stared at the screen in disbelief. He couldn’t help but jump up excitedly and shout, “Sister! Sister! You’re too lucky! You’re rich now!”
Yuan Yi also congratulated her happily. “As expected of Manman. You have good taste. This is probably the best piece of wood in recent years. You actually bought it. What do you plan to do with it?”
“I haven’t thought about it yet.” Shi Man stared at the treasure in satisfaction, waiting for it to be delivered to her hand by the staff.
In private room four, after Ji Xue heard the cheers from next door, her expression became even darker and uglier. However, she could not speak now. Wang Hai, this pervert, seemed to have suddenly lost his mind and gone crazy, forcing her to kneel on the ground and lick his most disgusting part.
Ji Xue’s only hope now was that Yi Zheng could really see that photo and let him know what kind of fickle and shameless woman Shi Man was!
She was waiting to see the outcome of Shi Man being cruelly abandoned by Yi Zheng!
The staff held the piece of wood in his hand and knocked on the door of Private Room Three with a smile. He smiled politely and said, “Congratulations on buying the rosewood with such good ingredients. In addition, the distinguished guest in Private Room Ten said that he’s willing to pay 100 million to buy it from you. He wants me to ask you what you think.”
“No.” Shi Man refused decisively and asked him to put the wood on the table. After paying, she waved her hand to dismiss him.
