As the auctioneer's gavel hit the wooden mat with a soft sound, the entire auction venue fell silent.
The auction will start soon.
The lights in the auditorium were dimmed, and a beam of light as bright as sunlight shone directly from the ceiling, illuminating the blank table where the auction items were about to be placed.
Lin Xiangwan glanced in the direction of Chu Di in the darkness. What a coincidence, he was also looking at her.
As soon as their eyes met, several lights crackled in the air.
Lin Xiangwan raised the corners of her lips and smiled slightly at Chu Di. Chu Di's eyes were a little blurry, as if he couldn't understand her expression, let alone her heart.
Lin Xiangwan withdrew his gaze and returned it to the auction house.
She didn't know what others would think after hearing what she just said. She only knew how she felt.
There is no empathy in this world. You feel that your heart and liver are torn to pieces and your intestines are broken. In fact, others can’t feel it at all. Seeing your expression of horror, you sympathize for a while, and then you should be happy, maybe you will be happy.
Before long, your suffering will be used as a talking point and will be widely publicized...
Her sorrow and sadness, and her longing for Ye Zhong, no one will understand how deep that feeling is. Don't place your hopes on others, let alone lower your worth, and beg others to understand your feelings.
No matter how loud you are, it's all in vain. Don't blame others for being cold-blooded, just blame yourself for not being prepared.
You choose your own path, your legs grow on you, and it’s up to you to decide how you want to go.
Heaven, hell, just a thought.
Presumably Chu Di understands this truth best.
Otherwise he wouldn't be where he is today.
Sometimes I think about it, he is actually more miserable than she is. At least when the Ye family is in decline, no matter what the reason is, she can still sell herself a good price so that the family can have enough food and clothing. But when the Chu family is in decline,
It was like a mountain falling, with good intentions and bad intentions, and no one had ever extended a helping hand to him.
Even if someone extends it, Chu's mother may not be willing to do so given her character.
Therefore, he could only achieve everything he has today by struggling hard, being invincible between the underworld and the white world, and making efforts that are unimaginable to ordinary people.
You cannot blame others for your family's disaster. When Ye's collapsed, Lin Xiangwan once complained about her father's old friends, why they didn't help them at the critical moment. Later, as she grew older, she realized that others did not
Reason, and have no responsibility to bear your heavy life. Businessmen are so smart. They have long seen that Chu Di will not give up until he pushes Ye to the end. How can he put his company in danger by helping others?
?
What's more, Chu Di's reputation has always been bad. He is famous in the circle for his unscrupulousness and cruelty.
Now that they have reached this point, Lin Xiangwan just feels sorry, not for herself, but for him.
If he had known what would happen today and in the future, shouldn't he have been more decisive towards her back then?
Being kind to your enemies means being cruel to yourself.
Chu Di, have you ever regretted it? Regret that you let me go?
The first lot was invited to the stage by a lady wearing a Chinese cheongsam. The cover was lifted and it turned out to be the blood jade bracelet.
When the light shines on the bright red velvet, the blood threads in the blood jade seem to be alive, flowing brightly under the light, which is shocking to watch.
Auctions are the same as performances. The more important the event is, the more important it is to be placed at the back. Those who appear in the front are all inconspicuous little things that are popular. The auctioneer must also have noticed the ominous nature of the blood jade bracelet. In addition, its mouth is too small.
Very few people can wear it, and it is not very practical, so no one thinks highly of it, so they just let it go out to lead the charge.
The starting price of the bracelet was 500,000 yuan. After the auctioneer started bidding, the following buyers were not enthusiastic. The bidding reached 1.2 million yuan, which was still a long way from the seller's psychological price of 2 million yuan. The auction was about to fail.
If the auction fails at the beginning of the auction, it may have a negative impact on the subsequent auctions, so the auctioneer holds up the gavel in his hand and constantly introduces the preciousness and rarity of blood jade to buyers, hoping that someone can raise the price, all the way to the audience.
Feeling a little impatient, he had no choice but to slowly lower his already sore arm - right here, from the back row of the auction house, a clear female voice suddenly came, "1.5 million."
Lin Xiangwan found a buyer's sign from somewhere, raised the sign high, and quoted the price at the same time.
The audience in front couldn't help but look back. Shen Shijun gently pulled the corner of Lin Xiangwan's clothes. Lin Xiangwan frowned at him, then leaned over and whispered something in his ear.
From Chu Di's perspective, the two of them seemed to be leaning closely together at this moment, and Lin Xiangwan was so close to Shen Shijun that as long as she moved forward a little further, her lips would kiss Shen Shijun's earlobe.
Up. Chu Di couldn't hear what they were saying, but somehow he felt that the eyes of the two people were drifting towards him invariably, with contempt and contempt in their eyes.
He was so upset that he felt his anger rising. What could they say? They were just laughing at him, a local leopard who only had money but no knowledge of goods. She just wanted this bracelet, but he wouldn't let her.
As one wishes!
"Two million." Chu Di raised the number plate in his hand slightly and spit out the number clearly.
The audience was in an uproar. Lin Xiangwan had just added 300,000 yuan, which was already a big deal. But Chu Di was even more arrogant than her. She asked for 500,000 yuan. For these rich people, 500,000 yuan was nothing.
But for this lot, it’s already a considerable price increase.
"2.2 million."
"2.5 million."
"2.7 million."
"5000000!"
As if he had had enough of this digital superposition game, Chu Di suddenly threw out a sky-high price. The audience had lost their voices at this time and only watched the performance of these two people. The whole place was silent, and everyone's eyes were blank.
Gathering around Lin Xiangwan, everyone was speculating on who this woman who was sitting next to the old lady of the Shen family, protected by Shen Shijun, and confronting Chu Di was, and where she came from.
Hearing this high price, Lin Xiangwan seemed to be a little surprised, but besides the surprise, she was angry. She tilted her head slightly and said to Shen Shijun with some grievances, "Brother, he is so annoying. He wants to compete with others for this treasure. He is the only one."
Big man, if you want a bracelet for anything, you can't put it on! He's obviously deliberately causing trouble for others, but they don't care. Senior brother, you stand up for them."
The woman's coquettish tone seemed to announce to everyone that she and Shen Shijun had an unusual relationship. When the audience in the front row heard this conversation, they all nodded in understanding.
It turns out that the son of a prostitute and the son of a dandy are fighting fiercely for wealth over a woman... Beauty is indeed a disaster...
Shen Shijun was helplessly dragged into the battle by Lin Xiangwan. He originally didn't want to get involved with her and Chu Di, but now after Lin Xiangwan's description, he couldn't clean it up even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
That's all, if you can't clean it up, you can't clean it up. Isn't it a common thing to stab yourself twice for your junior sister?
"6 million." Shen Shijun calmly raised the sign, and then he saw Lin Xiangwan smiling like a well-fed cat.
Chu Di's anger had reached an unprecedented level. Lin Xiangwan's actions were like slaps slapped directly on his face one after another, without leaving him any face, and his eyes were burning red.
, his whole body seemed to be bursting with flames, he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a voice from between his teeth, "7 million."
"7.5 million." After he quoted the price, Lin Xiangwan quickly increased the price. Then she leaned beside Shen Shijun proudly, crossed her legs, and looked at Chu Di sideways.
However, under the rage, although Chu Di's sanity did not recover, the true nature of the businessman began to recover. His mind was spinning rapidly. Lin Xiangwan was so confident that he increased the price without reason. I'm afraid it was just a tactic to provoke the general. In fact,
She didn't like the bracelet, and she didn't have to take a picture of it. She just deliberately raised the price, and then asked him to pay a high price to buy a useless thing, and her scheme succeeded.
But what if he doesn't accept her move?
7.5 million is not a small sum for either her or Shen Shijun. Although the Shen family is well-informed in politics, it may not be easy to come up with such a large sum of money at once, and Shen Shijun himself
Just like Lin Xiangwan, he is just a doctor in a hospital. Even if he has some gray income, how much can he earn?
If they can't come up with the money, what will the Shen family think of her, a woman who has caused them so much trouble? What will Shen Shijun think of her?
When Chu Di thought about this section, he suddenly felt cheerful. He put the auction sign aside, raised his champagne and tasted it leisurely, making a gesture of giving up. He no longer competed with Lin Xiangwan for this jade bracelet.
Sure enough, as the auctioneer repeatedly called for bids and the gavel in his hand was raised higher and higher, Lin Xiangwan's expression became more serious. How about it? You got into trouble and don't know how it will end? Chu Di's
His mood became happy with the change in her face. It seemed that he could already guess how this stubborn woman would lower her head high and come to him for help. A comfortable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Bang." There was a sound, the gavel fell, and the auction was a good start. The auctioneer said in a very excited tone, "7.5 million, the blood jade bracelet of the Western Han Dynasty was auctioned to the lady at the VIP table. Please do it for her charity.
Applaud for your contribution to the cause."
The drums were thundering, and the audience watched eagerly as the hostess dragged the sign indicating the blood jade bracelet to Lin Xiangwan with a red velvet cloth. The closer she got, the paler Lin Xiangwan's face became. She lightly
Biting his mouth, he looked at Chu Di as if asking for help...
