Woke Up And Had A Baby With My Mortal Enemy - Chapter 46

Chapter 46 – Fierce Bidding

Hang Sizhou quickly looked away: “No.”

All his money had to go to the piano, and before that, none of it could be wasted.

Hang Sizhou checked the last auction price of the piano online. It was 5 million yuan.

After a gap of more than ten years, the amount must have doubled.

But it is the approximate price without Hang Hongsheng or anyone else bidding for it.

Back then, Hang Hongsheng was willing to bid 20 million US dollars for the Blue Star, so this time, it must be difficult to deal with him just as last time.

After lightly counting all the money in his small treasury, Hang Sizhou’s eyes were filled with a strong sense of restlessness.

Just then, a picture of the piano appeared on the screen.

The pure ivory keys had a soft lustre after a hundred years, and the classical piano body has attracted the attention of many collectors with just one photo. This is the private property of a duchess who was very favoured by the king of a certain European country. It was auctioned by her descendants more than ten years ago.

This is the second time the piano has been auctioned.

The host introduced the item saying that the antique piano is old and not suitable for moving around, so it will be sent directly to the bidder’s home.

The auction price starts from 5 million yuan with a price increase of 50,000 with each bid.

At the beginning, there were still quite a few people bidding.

But every time someone made a bid, Hang Hongsheng would follow up decisively.

Hang Sizhou looked coldly at Hang Hongsheng, raising the sign again and again.

When the price of the piano reached tens of millions, as expected, few people bid for it.

The price of the piano is about right in this price range.

The host looked over at them and said, “Ten million, do you still want sir?”

Hang Sizhou held the number plate tightly and raised it up.

The host’s eyes lit up and he said happily, “Mr. No. 17, add 500,000 yuan.”

Sure enough, the next moment, Hang Hongsheng raised the price again.

Hang Sizhou immediately raised his sign and followed up.

Hang Sizhou and Hang Hongsheng refused to give in to each other, and the price of the antique piano was quickly raised to 18 million.

If the price went up any further, Hang Sizhou would no longer be able to afford it.

But if it was just bought by Hang Hongsheng, Hang Sizhou would be extremely reluctant to give up.

As for the piano itself, and because he didn’t want to lose to Hang Hongsheng, Hang Sizhou didn’t want to give up.

He is unwilling to accept it!

After Hang Hongsheng made another bid, Hang Sizhou felt that the number plate in his hand weighed a thousand pounds and he couldn’t lift it at all.

The host on the stage turned his gaze towards them again and asked if anyone else wanted to bid.

Hang Sizhou clenched his fists: “Xiao Hang.”

Xiao Hang looked over immediately: “Yes.”

Hang Sizhou said in a deep voice: “Does what you said yesterday still count?”

He turned his head and looked into the man’s eyes, “You said, I can have anything I want.”

A faint smile appeared in Xiao Hang’s dark eyes: “It counts.”

Hang Sizhou gritted his teeth and said, “I want this piano.”

“Hang Sizhou.”

From a very early time, Hang Sizhou always liked to hear Xiao Hang calling his name.

The boy’s voice is rather cold, and when he calls his name, he always pronounces each syllable with emphasis, which gives out an inexplicable sense of comfort.

The man’s voice was low and went down into his ears, as if something was touching his heart.

Xiao Hang said seriously: “We are married.”

Hang Sizhou thought to himself: ‘I already know this. You don’t need to emphasise it again and again.’

The man reached out his hand and gently held his: “You can try to rely on me more.”

Hang Sizhou’s lips moved, and suddenly, the restlessness in his heart subsided instantly.

But Hang Sizhou didn’t want to keep owing Xiao Hang anything, and he had already accepted the ring.

After a moment of silence, he said softly, “Just lend the amount to me first, I will return it to you later.”

After saying that, he took his hand away from Xiao Hang’s and held up the number plate high again.

With someone supporting him, the number plate became extremely light.

The moment he raised the sign, the contact saved as an ‘old scumbag’ suddenly jumped to the top of the WeChat interface on his mobile phone.

Hang Hongsheng had sent him a message.

【Hang Sizhou, what do you want to do?】

【I know you hate me, but there’s no need to be so picky about money. You don’t need this piano at all.】

Tsk.

It seems that the old scumbag didn’t love that woman as much as he showed off.

He even started to bargain with him over the phone.

Sure enough, the love of a scumbag is worthless.

Hang Sizhou even began to suspect that Hang Hongsheng had bid more than 100 million for the Blue Star not for Tian Jiarou, but for other purposes.

Hang Sizhou didn’t respond, so Hang Hongsheng sent another message.

【Old scumbag: As long as you give me the piano, we can talk about everything you told me before.】

Seeing the message, Hang Sizhou raised his number plate without hesitation.

He had no idea what requests he had made to the old scumbag before he lost his memory.

He wasn’t interested in knowing either.

The host said loudly: “No. 17, add 500,000 yuan.”

As soon as the host finished speaking, Hang Hongsheng quickly raised the price.

A new message from the other party popped up on the screen again.

【Old scumbag: Hang Sizhou, you don’t have to go against me. You haven’t even played the piano for many years!】

Hang Sizhou raised the number plate again with an expressionless face.

When the host saw him holding up the sign, he immediately said, “Mr. No. 17, add another 500,000 yuan.”

Even though he was far away, Hang Sizhou seemed to hear the sound of Hang Hongsheng grinding his teeth.

Well, if he really heard it, he would be sure that it must have been a very ‘pleasant’ sound.

–

The current auction price had already exceeded the appraisal price.

But the auctioneer was not happy at all.

When the piano was brought over, the manager had already said that it had been selected by Mr. Xiao.

But from the beginning until now, Mr. Xiao had never raised a sign. Instead, the young man wearing a mask next to him was frequently raising his sign.

On the other hand, Mr. Hang Hongsheng seemed to be competing with him and kept bidding against him.

The host looked at the manager several times and saw that he was looking in Xiao Hang’s direction without any reaction.

He was extremely anxious.

Seeing that the bidding of the two people below also paused, he waited for a while, then simply knocked on the table and said, “I received a notice that there are some problems in the backend, and we need to pause for a while. Everyone, please be patient. The problem will be solved soon.”

After leaving these words, the host decisively went backstage and ran up to the second floor to find the manager.

“What are you pausing for?” The manager looked at him unhappily.

The host also felt aggrieved: “Mr. Xiao has not made any bids, and the price is getting more and more outrageous. What should we do?”

Manager: “Mr. Xiao is bidding.”

Host: “Ah?”

The manager looked into the crowd and said, “Can’t you see? The one who made the bid is from his family!”

The host frowned, looking puzzled.

The manager was speechless: “Have you not seen Mr. Xiao turn sideways to talk to the person next to him? And didn’t you notice that Mr. Xiao’s eyes have been on him since they arrived?”

The host was stunned for a moment, thought about it for a moment, nodded and said, “It seems so.”

The manager said calmly, “Don’t worry, there will be no problem.”

The host happily turned back to the stage.

On the other side, Hang Hongsheng drank several sips of water and his face looked extremely gloomy.

Tian Jiarou didn’t seem anxious at all: “Actually, you just need to go and talk to Mr. Xiao.”

“Xiao Hang?”

Tian Jiarou: “Yes, Sizhou has been working very hard these past few years, so he definitely doesn’t have much money. Even if he wins the bid, it will still be Mr. Xiao who will pay for the piano in the end.”

Hang Hongsheng frowned.

Indeed, he set up a studio for Hang Sizhou and hired an agent at a high salary, but in the past few years, Hang Sizhou had only released one album and a few singles.

He always had a sullen face when he appeared on variety shows, which made the producers afraid to look for him anymore.

When filming that parent-child variety show, he guessed that people paid more attention to Xiao Hang’s identity.

By this calculation, it didn’t seem like Hang Sizhou had much money.

Tian Jiarou saw that Hang Hongsheng’s face had relaxed, so she gently held Hang Hongsheng’s hand and added the last bit of firewood: “Boss Xiao has always respected you over the years. I think as long as you ask, he will agree.”
