Chapter 158 Auction
People had almost arrived, and there were whispers in the auditorium.
Everyone didn't know that Chu Tianze, Weng and his son-in-law had disembarked from the ship. They didn't see them at this time, so they all felt a little strange.
Moreover, Young Master Chu and Young Master Mu did not attend the auction.
"Isn't Mu Nanshu on the boat? Why didn't she come?"
"The two young masters have a lot to do, so they must wait for the final auction before appearing."
"I heard that these two have been fighting fiercely recently. Are they going to have a showdown at the auction?"
"It will only hurt both sides in the fight. What a pity!"
< br>"The two young masters of the Imperial Capital, I am very optimistic about this pair."
Du Ying has a good ear and heard Mrs. Yu gossiping about Chu Siyang and Mu Nanshu.
How the two of them fit together, bala bala said a lot.
A sharp look flashed in her eyes, and she made a note to Mrs. Yu.
*
Young Master Chu did not attend, and the representative of the Chu family auction was Chu Li.
He glanced at his watch and raised his hand to signal the host.
The host nodded and asked the waiter to take the full-color auction brochure and give one to each of the guests in the first five rows.
When the four Shen Jue entered the auditorium, the seats were almost full.
They searched for a long time and found no free seats, so they had to stand on the high platform in the last row.
It was far away from the auction booth, but at a glance, I saw Du Ying and three people sitting in the first row.
The three little heads gathered together to read the auction brochure. Tang Yichun twisted her body happily and kept waving her arms.
Su Mengqi saw it clearly and felt unhappy.
Du Ying and the others were in the VVIP seats in the first row, but she didn’t even have a seat.
You can only stand and watch.
And this auction has nothing to do with her.
While others were looking through the auction brochure, she came to join in the fun.
She had always looked down on Du Ying in the past, thinking that a bumpkin from the ravine was not worthy of being her classmate.
But she didn’t know when she started to find that the gap between the two was getting farther and farther.
The other party dumped her a lot!
She can no longer compete with Du Ying.
*
The bell rings and the auction officially begins.
Du Ying flipped through the auction manual and found a total of twenty auction items.
Most of them were porcelain calligraphy and paintings, which she was not very interested in.
There are several gorgeous and exquisite pieces of jewelry in the back, and the final lot is nanomaterials.
The first half of the auction was lackluster.
Although the scene was lively and the shouts of bids kept coming, Du Ying, who was sitting in the first row, was already drowsy.
I finally made it to the second half. At the beginning, I auctioned off a jade Buddha, which was snatched by Mrs. Yu.
Du Ying originally wanted to make a small stumbling block, but the jade Buddha was really distasteful.
The price is very low when you grab it.
So she decided to wait a little longer.
Next came the jade earrings and bracelet, which were quickly picked up by two ladies.
Behind is a blue gemstone necklace, as deep and charming as the ocean.
The host talked about the origin of the necklace.
A hundred years ago, a princess of a certain country was a famous designer. She personally designed and made this necklace for her mother, and it became the queen's favorite jewelry.
The necklace later became popular among the people and has always been a treasured collection by collectors.
As soon as this necklace was displayed, it immediately aroused the interest of the ladies and daughters present.
The base price was three million, and it jumped to ten million in five minutes.
Fewer and fewer people participated in the bidding, and finally only Mrs. Yu, Shen Qingrong and Chu Wanning were left.
They bite each other and refuse to let go.
When the price reached thirteen million, Du Ying suddenly raised his sign.
Fifteen million!
The whole place was in an uproar, and everyone took a breath.
Some people were shocked, and some shook their heads.
This price far exceeds the value of the necklace itself.
Most people present did not know Du Ying's identity, but when they saw Chu Li sitting next to her just now, they felt that this girl was not simple.
At this time, she made a generous bid, which attracted a lot of whispers.
Chu Li curled his lips, his peach blossom eyes shining brightly, "Sister Ying, do you like this necklace?"
He accepted the task, and as long as sister Ying likes it, he will take action. Take it.
Someone said that it doesn’t matter how much it costs.
"It's very beautiful. I want to buy it as a gift." Du Ying said casually. In addition to her really wanting to buy this necklace, she also wanted to cause trouble for the other three auctioneers.
Eat two fish for one, what a deal!
Shen Qingrong, who was sitting behind her, couldn't hold it in any longer. There was anger in her deep voice, "Du Ying, I want to buy this necklace for my mother. Don't be ignorant!"
Thirteen million was her price, and Du Ying deliberately argued with her.
She didn’t want to spend another two million dollars.
Du Ying turned to glance at her, her smile not reaching her eyes, "Sister, the one with the highest price will get it. If you don't have money, just shut up."
Shen Qingrong: "... "I want to tear the stinky girl's mouth apart!"
Chu Wanning frowned and stared at Du Ying fiercely, wanting to bite her to death.
She wanted to take a picture of the necklace and give it to Ning Xi, but she didn’t expect it to be so popular.
And Du Ying took the opportunity to cause trouble.
She only had fifteen million in hand, so it would be a bit difficult to continue to increase the price.
Yun Weixi next to her hates Du Ying and doesn't want the necklace to fall into her hands.
She whispered in Chu Wanning's ear: "I'll lend you two million, if you continue to increase the price, you can't let that little bitch succeed!"
Chu Wanning gritted his teeth. Raise your hand and hold the sign.
Seventeen million!
Mrs. Yu on the other side looked unhappy.
She has already taken several pictures before, and now the price is far beyond her budget.
"Husband, what a pity." Mrs. Yu hugged her husband's arm coquettishly.
Yu Dongshan is a businessman and feels that the necklace is too expensive and not cost-effective.
Seventeen million, the necklace can only be worn a few times when you take it home. It is better to buy a top-notch luxury car.
"They are all things that others have worn. Don't you feel bad? I will buy you new ones when I go back." Yu Dongshan coaxed his wife in a low voice.
"Okay, husband, you have to keep your word." Mrs. Yu looked at the man, with a hint of resentment in her eyes, which had a different kind of touching charm.
Yu Dongshan felt hot and agreed immediately.
Mrs. Yu glanced at the sapphire necklace, sighed, and gave up pretending to be regretful.
She didn’t insist on taking pictures of the necklace, she just wanted to make Yu Dongshan pay more attention to her.
At this time, the host held the auction hammer, "For the first time in 17 million..."
Chu Wanning's eyes shone brightly, and he stared excitedly at the small hammer in the host's hand. , his eyes were full of pride.
“Ban Ning, it’s almost done!” Yun Weixi was also very excited.
Du Ying wanted to raise the sign in her hand, but was held down by Chu Li.
The man's peach blossom eyes narrowed, and he raised the sign in his hand high, "Twenty million!"
There was a "boom" and the whole audience screamed.
Chu Wanning's smile froze and his face turned pale.
No one raised the price at this time, and the host made the final decision.
The lot ultimately belongs to Chu Li.
Soon the waiter came down the stage with a tray, and Chu Li swiped his card to pay the bill on the spot.
Then in full view of everyone, he put the necklace into the jewelry box and handed it to Du Ying with a smile on his face, "Sister Ying, this is for you."
The whole audience was stunned again. There was exclamation and jubilation.
Du Ying: "..." This conspicuousness is really exciting!
She raised her eyebrows and looked at the necklace in front of her, wanting to refuse.
She had money to buy it herself, but Chu Li stepped in.
A little upset.
Chu Li knew what she was thinking. He smiled, leaned into her ear and said, "The young master gave it to you."
Then he winked at her.
Brother is just a tool man!
"That's it." Du Ying felt relieved, took the necklace happily, and said "thank you" with a smile.
Shen Qingrong and Chu Wanning behind them were cold and their expressions were distorted.
Du Ying played with the necklace happily, and Tang Yichun next to her exclaimed from time to time, "Oh, it looks good, it looks good, it looks so good!"
Shen Qingrong could no longer sit still and left the auction with a cold face. meeting.
Tang Yuewei originally wanted to see the final lot, but when he saw Shen Qingrong leaving, he felt uneasy, so he had to get up and catch up.
When Tang Yichun saw this scene, her face suddenly wrinkled like a bitter gourd.
"Why do I have a love-minded brother who is a licking dog? It's so embarrassing to the Tang family!"
Small Theater:
Tang Yichun: "Brother, your love-minded brother is an embarrassment to me!" "
Tang Yuewei: "First love is the most beautiful and pure, right?"
Tang Yichun: "Speechless licker! I wish you nothing until the end!" br>
Tang Yuewei: "..."
Thank you to those who voted for rewards!
