After being enlightened by Chu Jiamiao, Gu Tingyan came to his senses almost instantly.

——Yes, the current offer is still far from 3 billion! No wonder Mo Li couldn't wait to raise the bid just now!

Whether he makes 500 million or 1.5 billion, he can still make a clear decision! Now that we know the other party's trump card, it would be a pity to give up now!

So he gritted his teeth and started to speak harshly: "Who said I'm giving up? I must get this villa today - isn't it just a matter of adding a deposit? I'll do it!"

Chi Cunxu, who had been sitting quietly, didn't seem surprised at all. He just sneered and said, "You don't know your own limitations."

The sound was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for Gu Tingyan to hear.

Sure enough, Gu Tingyan was immediately furious.

He knew that Chi Cunxu looked down on him because he was richer than him, which was why he mocked him for overestimating his own abilities and even trying to compete with them in terms of financial strength.

He is just a second-generation rich man who relies on his family. What's so arrogant about him? He is now a first-generation entrepreneur!

Besides, Chi Cunxu would never have dreamed that he was not here to spend money today, but to make money!

……

Chi Cunxu's cold snort successfully aroused Gu Tingyan's fighting spirit as a man.

Without saying a word, he immediately arranged for someone to withdraw the remaining 10 million from the land sale from his account and quickly deposit it into the auction company's account.

The auctioneer watched him do this smoothly and smiled so much that his face suddenly broke. He immediately announced that the auction would continue: "Okay, thank you all for waiting for so long. The current auction price of our villa has reached 2 billion. Is there any price higher than 2 billion?"

This time, not only Gu Tingyan, but everyone in the audience's eyes fell on Mo Li again.

Mo Li seemed to be unaware of the gazes of the people around her. She did not raise her sign to bid in a hurry. Instead, she moved closer to Chi Cunxu and seemed to be discussing something with him in a low voice.

Mo Li asked him quietly, "How is it going? Has Yan Kang found out? Where did he get the money for the deposit?"

Chi Cunxu tilted his head slightly and replied to her in a gentle voice: "I found out that he sold the plots of land he had acquired in the east of the city for 20 million."

Mo Li suddenly realized.

No wonder the Gu family has gone bankrupt. How come Gu Tingyan, who has always been short of money, has suddenly become so generous? It turns out that he has started selling off the land and sold off the last few pieces of land he had been holding on to at a low price.

Twenty million - doesn't that mean he has no more bargaining chips?

Mo Li suddenly showed a bored expression.

……

The people around them had no idea what the two of them were whispering about, and were all wondering whether Mo Li would continue to bid.

"It's already 2 billion, it's a huge loss. Miss Mo won't follow anymore, right?"

"I don't think so. These two are obviously competing with each other. Besides, she doesn't look like someone who needs this little money."

"Those who show off their affection die quickly. I can't stand that family's arrogance. I still hope Miss Mo can get this house."

"..."

Chu Jiamiao, who was sitting in the back row, could not see the expressions on Mo Li's faces when they were talking to Chi Cunxu. She naively imagined that Mo Li was out of money and was asking her fiancé for help in a humble manner.

She rolled her eyes in disdain.

Sure enough, this kind of dodder who can only rely on men to survive is different from her, the chosen heroine.

When she spends money on herself, she never needs to ask any man's opinion.

……

The auctioneer asked Mo Li again at the right time: "Ms. Mo, the price of 2 billion, do you want to continue to increase the price?"

Mo Li hadn't expressed her opinion yet, but the Chu family of three were already worried.

Chu Shengfeng and his wife were of course worried that she would give up and end up with nothing. As for Chu Jiamiao, she wasn't worried that she wouldn't follow suit. She was just fed up with Mo Li's way of raising the price by only a little bit each time - this was too inefficient.

So, she started to sneer in a sarcastic tone: "Sister, your bidding method is a bit too petty. Don't forget that Brother Tingyan is here to support me. It will be difficult for you to get back the villa left by your father... Or you should give the bidding card to your brother-in-law? Anyway, you are a woman, no matter how much you bid, it is his money, isn't it?"

She was clearly hinting to everyone that no matter how generous Mo Li acted, she was just a gold digger who spent men's money.

Gu Tingyan looked at Chi Cunxu with hatred and continued to add fuel to the fire: "Yes, little Miss Mo, wasn't your fiancé very arrogant before? Why didn't he increase the price tenfold this time? Could it be that he doesn't cherish you so much now that he has you? If you have the guts, ask him to directly bid 20 billion, and I promise I will never compete with you again."

He instinctively wanted to call her "Xiao Li" as affectionately as before, but his intuition told him that if he really called her that in front of Chi Cunxu, the consequences would be unbearable for him, so he changed his words in disappointment.

After Gu Tingyan said this, the bidders around him always felt that something was strange.

……

"Ah."

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Mo Li couldn't help but sneer, then casually put the bidding card on the table.

Chu Shengfeng and his wife saw her actions clearly, and their hearts suddenly rose to their throats.

As expected, Mo Li sneered: "It's hard for you to worry about these useless things for me... But I have decided to give up. Congratulations, Mr. Gu, you can buy this villa for only 2 billion, which is really a great deal."

Gu Tingyan’s face turned pale instantly.

Chu Jiamiao in his arms jumped up with a scream: "How can you give up like this! - This is the villa left by your father!"

There was a chill in Mo Li's eyes, which were like cold ponds.

She came here today with the intention of taking back the villa, but if the Chu family thought they could control her in this way, they were very wrong.

Although this villa was once her father's property and was where she grew up, it did not leave her with any good memories.

In her previous life, this villa became the place where she was imprisoned for the rest of her life. She even almost died in that small, dark attic.

Thinking about it this way, she didn't really need this villa.

Chu Shengfeng and his wife also stood up anxiously:

"No! It has come to this, why don't you bid? Aren't you worth hundreds of billions? You don't need this little money!"

"That's right! Two billion is not a lot for you! If you add a little more, the villa will be yours, right?!"

When the bidders around saw this scene, their expressions became even weirder.

——Shouldn't Mr. and Mrs. Chu Shengfeng be on the side of the prospective son-in-law who was hugging their daughter? Miss Mo let him go so easily and stopped bidding. Their family got to keep the villa, so they should be happy.

Those who come to the auction are not fools. Who doesn’t understand after seeing this?

Today's auction is nothing more than a setup.
