Blinking her eyes, Era smiled and walked slowly into the exhibition center with the flow of people.
The charity auctioneer was opening. They only needed to get the invitation and ticket. The price of the
admission ticket was high, but it was not a problem for Era who was trying to pay. Since it didn't have
any right to other participants, many of them wore casual clothes. Naturally, Era didn't cause any other
attention.
Era walked into the hall and studied the brochure of the auction items asked by the receptionist. She
stared at the price tag first. Since she came in, she would choose the highest one.
The jade Ruyi donated by the boss of a financial group was of good quality and exquisite workmanship.
They were at a low rate of six hundred thousand. Era nodded and made a decision. The final price was
not less than one million and eight hundred thousand.
She turned a few pages later and found that the value of everything else was really low. However,
when she turned to the last page, she was stunned, "Flower Love World!" She muttered as she looked
at the set of jewelry on the photo.
It was actually a bracelet and necklace. Rose carved with agate, each rose has different shapes and
exquisite workmanship. All of them were related by crystal, and looked pretty real.
This set of jewelry was a gift from her grandfather. When the Xu family had a crisis back then, her
mother had to sell it off in order to help the Xu family get through the difficulties. Later when her mother
had saved some money to redeem it, she only heard that the person who bought the jewelry had
already gone abroad and no one had ever heard from the person.
Since then, "Flower Love World" had become mother's sore spot. When she was seriously ill, she didn't
forget to remind Era to find it back, or she would be too ashamed to face her dead grandfather.
What a surprise! She had been looking for it for such a long time and it was a coincidence that she met
it here.
At this moment, a young man in sunglasses was talking on the phone not far from Era. "Mr. Qi, the
'Flower Love World' you mentioned is in the auction list. It's an item for second auction. Would you like
to have a look?"
Half an hour later, the charity auction began.
At the gate of the exhibition center, Brooks entered in a hurry.
When the necessary information and photos of "Flower Love World" appeared on the big screen, Era
was nervous with her little hands sweating. Today, she must help her mother to redeem it!
Looking at the beautiful jewelry on the screen, Brooks smiled. That's right! That's what Era said to him.
'Era must be thrilled to see it. I must buy it today!'
Because he was late, he didn't notice that Era was standing in the front row. As a result, the price of the
"Flower Love World" was raised to six hundred thousand at a time, which was far more expensive than
its own value.
"Six hundred and fifty thousand." Era raised her paddle again. Damn, who was bidding against her on
purpose? He couldn't help but turn around to search the crowd. Among the crowds, she saw a familiar
handsome face. He raised his number plate and said, "six hundred and eighty thousand."
Brooks!? What did he want? For Anna? Era stared at him unhappily. It seemed that Brooks also felt her
strong resentment and turned his head. When their eyes met, he was stunned.
Era rolled her eyes at him and raised her paddle. "Seven hundred thousand." She decided to give it a
try. Money was meaningless to her anyway.
Brooks froze and didn't move. It was not until the moment that the hammer was closed that Era
breathed a sigh of relief. She finally redeemed the "Flower Love World" for her mother.
"Era." In the corridor, Brooks called out to Era who was going through the formalities with a worker.
"Mr. Qi, what's wrong?" Era turned back, with a hint of alienation in her eyes.
"Era, don't get me wrong. I bid this jewelry for..."
"I don't want to know why." Not wanting to hear the reason that would make her heart ache, Era
suddenly interrupted him and said with a cold smile, "the point is that I am the one who bid for this set
of jewelry. Mr. Qi, shouldn't you congratulate me on my successful bidding at a 'high price'?"
"Era..."
"Excuse me, I have something to do." Then, Era turned around indifferently, beckoning the staff waiting
aside to continue leading the way. She doesn't care about Brooks behind her.
Since it's over, don't bother! She clenched her fist and her fingernails dug into her flesh...
"Flower Love World" was as beautiful and delicate as her mother said. She carefully put it away. Era
decided not to haggle over with Jacob anymore. Just give that valuable jade Ruyi to someone else.
When she walked out of the building, she was blinded by the burning sun.
It was bad weather, and she was not in the mood to go shopping. She raised her hand to cover her
forehead and found that there were very few taxis on the street at this time...
Suddenly, a silver sports car came along and stopped in front of Era.
The window was rolled down slowly. It was Brooks. "Era, get in the car."
"No, thanks, Mr. Qi." Era refused seriously with a straight face. 'Why the less I want to see him, the
more he shows up?'
Brooks raised his eyebrows, got out of the car, walked around Era and opened the door for her. "Get on
the carriage, Era. I have something to tell you,"
"I have told you everything I know? What else do we have to say? " After casting a cold glance at him,
Era turned around and wanted to leave.
"Era!" Brooks grabbed her by the wrist, with a hint of pleading in his black eyes. "I just need a few
minutes."
Era looked back and their eyes met. Her heart was still shaken by those familiar black eyes. The sun
was shining overhead, and sweat dripped from her cheeks...
Brooks quickly took out a pink umbrella from the car and gracefully held it for Era. His action was
tender and skillful, like every time before.
"Get in the car, Era. Let's find a place. I really have something important to tell you."
"All right." Era sighed as he was gentle as usual.
The air conditioner was turned on. The wall was surrounded by marine shadows. The two chandeliers
were still spinning. The old-fashioned love song rhythm filled every corner of the shop.
Blue Ocean Ice Shop. Era didn't expect that it was still here, not to mention that Brooks would take her
here.
"Hey, you haven't been here for a long time." The proprietress said with a smile, delivering two bowls of
ice.
"We'll come more often in the future." Brooks answered with a smile.
In the future? With Anna? Era looked at him coldly. "Tell me what happened. I'm in a hurry."
"Eat some ice cream first. The ice is going to melt soon." Brooks ignored her and pointed at the ice in
front of her. "Mango flavor, your favorite."
"Brooks!" Era pounded on the table and stood up, "if you took me here just to eat ice, then I have to
say I'm sorry..."
