Upon entering the auction hall, Yan Xia found her seat and sat down. To her surprise, Lu Qianzhou's seat was right next to hers. Both of their seats were in the front row.
After they were seated, Yan Xia deliberately turned her head to confirm Fang Jiangyi's seat. His seat was in the third row.
Soon, the auction dinner officially began. As a special guest, Lu Qianzhou took the stage to give a speech.
On the stage, he was shining brightly. The white shirt inside was hazy under the lights. Such a handsome and outstanding man attracted everyone's attention. Yan Xia even faintly heard the sound of women's soft screams of admiration.
When he was speaking, his eyes would occasionally sweep over the position where Yan Xia was sitting. Every time their eyes met briefly, Yan Xia would feel a little short of breath.
Lu Qianzhou was really outstanding.
After he stepped down and returned to his seat, Yan Xia no longer looked at him.
The auction officially started. The item Lu Qianzhou donated was a diamond necklace, while the item Yan Xia donated on behalf of Lord Lu was a Qing Dynasty blue - and - white porcelain.
No matter what Yan Xia took a fancy to and wanted to bid for tonight, both Lu Qianzhou and Lord Lu would pay for her.
Soon, a delicate diamond bracelet appeared on the big screen.
Yan Xia's face changed slightly. She recognized it at a glance. It was her elder sister's bracelet! It was actually put up for auction here.
The host introduced, "This diamond bracelet was donated by Mr. Fang Jiangyi of Shengshi Group. The starting bid is 200,000 yuan, and each increase must be no less than 50,000 yuan."
Soon someone raised their bid card.
"200,000 yuan."
"250,000 yuan."
It was her elder sister's thing. What right did Fang Jiangyi have to donate it for auction?
Yan Xia raised her bid card. "500,000 yuan."
She wanted to bid it back.
"Okay, this young lady bids 500,000 yuan. Is there anyone who bids higher? 500,000 yuan for the first time..."
"600,000 yuan." It was Fang Jiangyi's voice.
Yan Xia stiffened but didn't turn back to look.
It was really ridiculous that he donated the thing himself and then wanted to bid it back with money.
The host reached out his hand. "Mr. Fang bids 600,000 yuan. 600,000 yuan for the first time..."
Yan Xia seemed to be in a competition with Fang Jiangyi. She was about to raise her bid card again, but was stopped by Lu Qianzhou.
The smile on his lips was extremely charming, as if it carried a fragrance. He leaned over slightly and whispered in her ear, "Do you like it? I'll buy it for you as a gift."
Yan Xia said, "It's my elder sister's bracelet."
"I see." Lu Qianzhou straightened up and raised his bid card. "One million yuan."
Fang Jiangyi in the distance had been watching Lu Qianzhou's every move. It seemed that he had a very good relationship with that Lu Sheng. Moreover, he had always had a good relationship with Lord Lu.
He stared at the two backs in front of him and was lost in thought unconsciously.
"Brother Jiangyi." Peng Shiyi's voice pulled his thoughts back. "I like that bracelet."
Fang Jiangyi lowered his eyes. "1.2 million yuan."
Peng Shiyi looked at him happily.
"Two million yuan."
Lu Qianzhou in front raised his bid card again. His tone was as calm as if he was spending two yuan to buy a pack of spicy strips.
Yan Xia was flattered. "Third brother, forget it. It's just a bracelet."
"You like it, and so does he. How can we let him have his way?"
Yan Xia sensitively caught the sneer that flashed across Lu Qianzhou's eyes. Her intuition told her that Fang Jiangyi's stubbornness was probably not just because of her. There must be his own reasons.
She withdrew her hand and looked back at the position where Fang Jiangyi was sitting. Coincidentally, he was also looking at them intently.
"Two million yuan for the third time!" With a thud, the gavel fell, and the host said excitedly, "Congratulations to Mr. Lu from Changling Group for winning this diamond bracelet with a bid of two million yuan. Let's take a look at the next auction item."
Yan Xia didn't really care about what was auctioned later. Many people were already very interested in her. Sitting with Lu Qianzhou, she attracted even more attention.
Before the auction was over, Lu Qianzhou left first.
Yan Xia waited until the dinner was over. Under Wen Liang's protection, she was leaving the inner hall. Before she reached the door, there was suddenly a commotion in front. Yan Xia was puzzled. People were scurrying around in a panic. Amid the screams, she only heard an old voice roar,
"Fang Jiangyi! You heartless bastard! I'm going to get justice for the master and the young lady today..."
