Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Young lady, a noble person will not snatch another’s beloved item. I really like this set of jewelry. I’ll offer 100,000 dollars for these. I’ll just take this necklace and ring and you can have the rest. What do you think?” Old Mr. Zhang looked at Qiao Mei and said mildly.
He did not want anything but the necklace and the ring. Could it be that this person knew about the secret behind this set of jewelry?
Qiao Mei sized up the person in front of her carefully. She suddenly spotted a navy blue gemstone cufflink on one of Old Nir. Zhangs sleeves and then looked at the ring on the tray again. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Old Mr. Zhangs cufflink and the things on the tray were also from the same set.
Qiao Mei still did not know what powers the family tree necklace and the plant shoot ring possessed, and whether their powers were different from the butterfly ability. Even though Qiao Mei was standing so close to them, she did not sense any energy coming from the necklace and the ring. However, Qiao Mei was more interested in Old Mr. Zhangs cufflink now. She was very drawn to the power hidden inside it.
Old Mr. Zhang definitely knew the secret behind this set of jewelry!
“Old Mr. Zhang, I also like this set of jewelry very much. Besides, 1 took a fancy to them first. Please forgive me for not being able to give it to you.” After saying that, Qiao Mei said to the auctioneer, “l offer 120,000 dollars.”
“130,000 dollars,” Old Mr. Zhang said.
“150,000 dollars,” Qiao Mei quickly shouted.
“180,000!” Old Mr. Zhang said as he looked at the auctioneer calmly.
“200,000!” Qiao Mei continued to up her bid.
The people below the stage discussed animatedly. They all felt that Qiao Niei must be crazy to want to fight with someone like Old Mr. Zhang, and for just some random jewelry at that.
“Wait! I’m not selling it anymore!” An old man suddenly rushed up from below the stage. This old man looked completely different from Old Mr. Zhang. People would easily believe that he was a beggar on the streets.
The auctioneer knew this old man and said nervously, “Uncle, are you really not selling it anymore? The current price is really good. If you don’t want to sell it, you’ll have to compensate us with 10% of the highest bid just now.
That’s 20,000 dollars! Uncle, have you really thought it through?”
As the old man was standing too far away just now, he could not see Qiao
Mei’s face clearly. When he got onto the stage, he looked at Qiao Mei in shock. Qiao Mei looked exactly like the woman in his memories. They looked too alike! How could there be two people who looked so alike in this world!
“I’m sure! I’m not selling it anymore!” Gao Lin said firmly as he looked at the auctioneer. After saying that, he took a glance at Qiao Mei.
Qiao Mei immediately understood what the old man, Gao Lin, meant and quickly said, “If you take back this set of jewelry, I’ll immediately transfer 230,000 dollars to you! I’ll also pay the compensation of 20,000 dollars!”
Gao Lin nodded in satisfaction. This little girl was quite smart and quite a talent.
“Gao Lin! Do you have to do this?” Old Mr. Zhang said.
“Even if 1 don’t sell it to this young lady, 1 won’t sell it to you!” Gao Lin looked at Old Nir. Zhang furiously and roared at him.
Although most of the people below the stage could not hear what they were saying, they could guess from the expressions on their face that Gao Lin and Old Mr. Zhang knew each other. However, the two men had fallen out for some reason.
“Gao Ming needs the money to treat his illness! Don’t be so stubborn at this time,” Old Mr. Zhang persuaded softly.
At the mention of “Gao Ming”, Gao Lin became even more agitated. He pointed at Old Mr. Zhang and berated him, “Even if our Xiao Ming dies! 1 won’t use a single cent from your Zhang family! You know better than me why Xiao Ming is in the hospital! Stop putting on an act here!”
“What happened to Gao Ming has nothing to do with me. What you heard are all lies. We’ve known each other for so many years. Don’t you believe in me?” Old Mr. Zhang explained.
“Pfft! You shameless thing! Don’t talk to me about our friendship! I find it disgusting! It’s best if nothing happens to Xiao Ming. If anything should happen to him! I’ll definitely come and settle the score with you! Even if I have to die! I’ll make you pay the price for it!” Gao Lin roared.
“Let me explain…” Before Old Mr. Zhang could finish speaking, Gao Lin looked at the auctioneer and said, “l want to take it back!”
After saying that, Gao Lin carried the tray containing the jewelry and walked towards the backstage area. Qiao Mei followed closely behind him. Old Mr.
Zhangs bodyguard wanted to rush to the backstage area to stop Gao Lin, but Old Mr. Zhang stopped him..
