Thinking of this, Su Qingning became more confident, and her eyes looking at the fiery red fox fur on the auction table downstairs became more determined.

At this time, the auction price of the fox fur had reached 60 million silver coins, and fewer and fewer people were participating in the auction; the people on the first floor had basically given up on the auction, and only the people in the private room on the second floor were still in a stalemate.

"Six and a half million!"

This voice...

Su Qingning looked towards Room No. 5 opposite, her eyes full of disgust. It was Su Jingya again.

She raised her hand and was about to press the red crystal to participate in the auction, but unexpectedly, a familiar voice came from Room No. 3.

"Six million five hundred and ten thousand!"

It was Qi Ling'er. She started to deliberately disgust Su Jingya again.

Su Qingning raised her eyebrows slightly. It seemed that she didn't need to rush to make a bid. These two people would probably fight for a while.

Things turned out just as Su Qingning had expected. When Su Jingya heard Qi Ling'er's voice, the anger that she had suppressed before suddenly erupted. The hands hidden under her sleeves clenched into fists, and her nails dug into her palms, leaving fingerprints, but she seemed not to feel any pain.

Bitch!

Su Jingya cursed in her heart, gnashing her teeth. She raised her hand and pressed the button on the red crystal, shouting, "Seven million!"

As soon as the words fell, Qi Ling'er's voice rang out, "Seven million and ten thousand!"

"Seven and a half million!"

"Seven million five hundred and ten thousand!"

……

Listening to the two people's bidding back and forth, everyone could tell that Qi Ling'er was deliberately targeting Su Jingya.

"Tsk tsk, the Second Miss Su must be furious." Tang Jinan looked completely like a melon-eating spectator. He tilted his head to look at Qi Runyu and asked curiously, "Ayu, how did the Second Miss Su offend your sister? Why is she targeting her so blatantly without even trying to hide it?"

"I don't know about that either, but..." Qi Runyu glanced at Mo Lintian from the corner of his eye and said meaningfully, "Because of someone, Ling'er has always disliked Miss Su Er, so it's not surprising that Ling'er would target her."

Upon hearing this, the others in the room also looked at Mo Lintian. Tang Jinan smiled and teased, "Ah, it's still His Royal Highness Prince Lin who is so charming. He has made the young ladies of the two major families vying for your affection."

The fact that Su Jingya likes Mo Lintian is no longer a secret in the imperial capital, and basically everyone knows it.

A year ago, at a palace banquet, Su Jingya, who had just turned twelve, publicly expressed her feelings to Mo Lintian.

"Your Highness, I love you." Su Jingya looked at Mo Lintian shyly and whispered, "Can you like me?"

As soon as the words fell, the lively palace banquet instantly became quiet, and everyone looked at Mo Lintian, waiting for his answer.

Many people believed that Mo Lintian would definitely agree. After all, Su Jingya had a very good reputation in the imperial capital. She was beautiful and gentle. Whether in terms of family background or talent, she was a good match for Mo Lintian.

However, things turned out very differently from what they had imagined. Mo Lintian slowly raised his wine glass, his eyes not even on Su Jingya, not even glancing at her.

"No."

When these three cold words reached everyone's ears, many people showed surprised expressions, as if they couldn't believe what they heard.

Su Jingya also looked up in astonishment. She looked at Mo Lintian with hurt eyes, as if unwilling to believe what she heard. She asked again: "Your Highness Prince Lin, what...what did you say?"

Listening to Su Jingya's pitiful voice, Mo Lintian felt no sympathy. He frowned, clearly impatient with Su Jingya's nagging. He raised his eyes coldly, glanced at her with disgust, and sneered, "Second Miss Su, do you have an ear problem? If you didn't hear clearly, I don't mind repeating it again. I say no!"

The three words "no" were spoken with extraordinary emphasis and loudness, as if they were specially emphasized to Su Jingya, fearing that she would have the slightest misunderstanding or omission.

Su Jingya's face instantly turned pale as paper, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably. She stared at Mo Lintian with wide eyes in disbelief, tears welling up in her eyes, but she forced herself not to let them fall.

However, the next moment, Mo Lintian's ruthless words made her finally unable to control her tears.

"Did Miss Su hear clearly this time? If you did, could you please move aside? You are blocking my light." Mo Lintian drove her away mercilessly, with no intention of saving Su Jingya's face.

"Plop..." A tear slid down the corner of her eye. Su Jingya could no longer bear such humiliation and ran away crying. This confession ended with her departure.

I thought the matter was over, but who would have thought that in just one night, the news that Miss Su Er confessed her love to His Royal Highness Prince Lin and was ruthlessly rejected spread throughout the entire imperial capital.

For a while, Mo Lintian and Su Jingya became the focus of conversation among people in the imperial capital after dinner.

When Qi Ling'er heard this news, it was like stirring up a hornet's nest, and she was completely furious.

Mo Lintian's mother is the daughter of the head of the Qi family, and also Qi Ling'er's aunt, so they are cousins.

In Qi Linger's heart, her cousin is the bright moon in the sky, the person she admires most; in her opinion, no woman in the imperial capital can be worthy of Mo Lintian.

Originally, Qi Ling'er had no good feelings towards Su Jingya, the hypocritical white lotus. Now that she heard that she was actually thinking about her cousin who was as pure as the bright moon, she felt even more disgusted with Su Jingya.

So, from then on, Qi Ling'er added Su Jingya to her blacklist, and whenever she found an opportunity, she would make things difficult for her, like now.

"Eight million!"

"Eight million and ten thousand!"

"Eight and a half million!"

"Eight million five hundred and ten thousand!"

……

Every time Su Jingya called out a price, Qi Ling'er would add ten thousand, not a penny more or less, with the main purpose of disgusting the other party.

"Bitch!"

Su Jingya was trembling with anger, her beautiful face twisted in fury. She turned back to her seat, reached for an exquisite teacup, and prepared to smash it to vent her anger.

However, just as she raised her hand, a slender, white jade hand reached out like lightning and firmly grasped her wrist.

"Ya'er, have you forgotten what your mother taught you? Why are you so impatient?" Liu Ruyan's voice came, a hint of blame and dissatisfaction in her tone. "I told you, you are the eldest daughter of the Su family, of noble status. No matter when or where, you must be mindful of your words and actions, and maintain a dignified and elegant demeanor."

Su Jingya knew she had lost her composure. Fortunately, she and her mother were the only ones in the room. Otherwise, if anyone else had seen her, the gentle and beautiful image she had worked so hard to maintain for so many years would have been ruined.
