Kang Ying looked up at Lin Yuan with tears in her eyes and shouted aggrievedly, “Mom.”
Lin Yuan walked behind her daughter and held Kang Ying’s hand comfortingly. She said lightly, “Good child, with Mom here, this necklace would definitely belong to you today.”
The moment Lin Yuan’s face appeared in the corridor on the second floor, she caused a huge uproar in the auction venue. All the influential families in Beijing recognized her face, which they had seen in many major events.!!
“Isn’t this the eldest daughter-in-law of the Kang family? I didn’t expect her to come to the auction either. There’s going to be a good show this time. Everyone knows that this daughter of the Lin family is very protective of her loved ones. I think this necklace on the stage will definitely be Ms. Kang’s today.”
Upon hearing this, another young lady from an influential family couldn’t help but retort, “That might not be the case. Young Master Huo and his fiancée don’t look like they’re easy to deal with. It’s really hard to say who will win this necklace!”
“Forget it, forget it. The competition between the two families is all about the word ‘face’. It has nothing to do with us small fries. Let’s just watch the show calmly.”
Lin Yuan was a business expert no matter what. She didn’t listen to any of these irrelevant discussions and understood that her opponent this time was actually Huo Xuan’s little fiancée. The moment Lin Yuan walked out of the private room, she quietly observed Mo Zhu.
Seeing this, Mo Zhu was very calm. She raised a finger and knocked on the railing of the corridor rhythmically. She looked at the host on the stage and said loudly, “Three billion.”
“Five billion.” Lin Yuan did not back down and continued to increase the price.
“Eight billion.” Mo Zhu raised her eyebrows and looked at Lin Yuan teasingly.
After Mo Zhu shouted this price, the crowd who was watching the show held their breaths and did not dare to say another word. After all, no one expected that Young Master Huo’s unknown little fiancée would spend eight billion on a small diamond necklace.
Not only were the people in the living room frightened by Mo Zhu’s bid, even the children of the other families who were quietly watching the show in the private rooms were also shocked. The people who enjoyed watching such dramas had already walked out of the private rooms to the corridor and sized Mo Zhu up quietly.
Lu Zheng also pushed open the door of the private room with some interest and came to the corridor. Just now, when he visited Huo Xuan before the auction started, he had already seen that this fiancée of Huo Xuan was not someone easy to deal with. Now, he had indeed guessed correctly. To be able to catch Huo Xuan’s eye, this woman called Mo Zhu must be extraordinary.
It had been a long time since he had encountered such a thing. As if he had a premonition that a storm was about to break out in Beijing, Lu Zheng curled his lips into a sinister smile. He gently rubbed his palms and said softly, “How interesting. It seems like this calm lake is finally going to be stirred.”
After Mo Zhu shouted the price, Lin Yuan’s expression darkened. She was being suppressed by a junior. No matter how magnanimous she was, it was expected that she would already be angry at this moment. She raised her hand and tidied up her sleeves. She glanced at Mo Zhu and turned to the host, who was standing on the stage with a microphone in his hand in a dignified manner. “10 billion!”
Seeing that the other party had called the price she wanted, Mo Zhu suddenly loosened her grip on the corridor railing. She turned her head and curled her lips in amusement. “Ten billion? That’s too high. I don’t have that much money. It’s fine if I don’t get this necklace. Forget it, I’ll give it to you.”
After saying this, Mo Zhu spread her hands and smiled at Kang Ying, gesturing nonchalantly.
When the host heard Mo Zhu’s words, the breath that had been hanging in his throat since just now finally came out. He was afraid that the girl would speak again and regret her decision, he quickly picked up the small hammer in his hand and shouted, “Ten billion going once, ten billion going twice, ten billion going thrice, deal!”
Wiping the cold sweat off his forehead, the host raised a smile and looked at Kang Ying, who was on the second floor. “Congratulations, Ms.. Kang, for obtaining this rare treasure.”
