Kapitel 21: The Battlefield
Redakteur: EndlessFantasy Translation
The auction soon began.
Su Qian lazily looked down at the auction items, not in the least bit interested.
Seeing that she wasn't interested, Sikong Jin also didn't pay much attention and focused on peeling the fruit for her.
At this moment, the auction host said, "The next item up for auction is a bracelet. It's the legendary genius jewelry designer, Huanghun's 8844 bracelet. The starting price is five million."
Hearing this, Su Qian raised her eyes before looking back down.
Sikong Jin saw that Su Qian finally reacted and thought that she was interested in the bracelet. "Qian Qian, you have a good eye. This bracelet was designed by Huanghun. I heard that it caused quite a stir back then. It's a pity that Huanghun has too few works. If we're talking about talent, Huanghun is even better than me."
The entire necklace was made up of the numbers 8844, which was the altitude of the Himalayas. Huanghun had used these numbers and named the bracelet 8844, which was really domineering and ambitious.
Occasionally, Sikong Jin would feel regretful that he had not seen Huanghun in his life. It could even be said that Huanghun was his first teacher.
When he first saw the bracelet, he had the urge to become a designer.
He wanted this bracelet.
"Six million."
Hearing his voice, Su Qian tucked her hair behind her ears. She spoke casually but with an implied meaning, "You like this bracelet?"
Sikong Jin nodded.
He also seemed a little embarrassed. He had never told anyone about this, but he didn't want to hide it from Su Qian.
"Actually, I'm also a fan of Huanghun."
Su Qian was speechless.
"Then, I suggest that you don't like Huanghun," she said after a pause.
"Why?" he was puzzled.
She pinched her index finger lightly and said in a clear voice, "The name 'Huanghun' has a tragic tone to it. If she takes one step forward, it will be dark, and she will never be able to get close to the light. The only thing she can do is pray that she will fall slower. Her entire life was unfortunate. If you like such an unfortunate person, be careful that you don't fall into hell yourself. "
"Why do you sound like you know Huanghun so well?" Sikong frowned. You know Huanghun?"
Su Qian suddenly felt that she had said too much, and her fingers that were resting on the armrest of her chair clenched together unconsciously. After a long while, she finally said, "I don't."
A lazy voice suddenly came from the room on the top floor, "Ten million."
Feng Xuanmo looked at Lu Mingxiu with interest, "Mingxiu, you're interested in this bracelet?"
"I'm not interested, but I don't want Sikong Jin to have it," Lu Mingxiu replied indifferently.
He chuckled softly. This was...jealousy...
He suddenly felt that things were getting more and more interesting.
This was the first time he had seen Lu Mingxiu being jealous.
"Fifteen million," Sikong Jin added, unwilling to give up.
"Twenty million," the lazy voice said again.
Sikong Jin hesitated for a moment. Even though he really liked this bracelet, he still had to buy the Star of the Sea for Qian Qian. He was worried that he would spend too much money on this bracelet and that the Star of the Sea would be snatched away by someone else. That would be a huge loss, so he could only give up on it.
The final price was twenty million.
The bracelet was worth five million, and the host didn't expect the price to rise to twenty million. It was a joy to earn a fortune.
After that, a few more items were auctioned off, but the final price was not too high.
Finally, it was the Star of the Sea's turn, and the starting price was five million.
Sikong Jin said, "Twenty million."
The others were a little shocked. The price had suddenly increased by four times. They had not been interested in the Star of the Sea at first, but now they could not help but be curious.
Before he could calm down, the lazy voice from the private room on the top floor rang out again.
"Fifty million."
Everyone was speechless.
Sikong Jin didn't expect the other party to pick a fight with him again, but this time, he was determined to win.
"Seventy million."
"One hundred million."
Sikong Jin was speechless.
Did the other party have a grudge against him? Why did the other party want to snatch everything he liked?
However, this time, he would definitely not let the other party snatch it away.
"150 million."
" 200 million," the other party lazily continued.
Sikong Jin was speechless.
This time, he really couldn't take it anymore.
He had only prepared 200 million yuan and thought that he would be able to get the Star of the Sea. Who would have thought that someone would actually go against him?
However, the auction required both the money and the goods to be settled. Otherwise, he would be willing to write an IOU.
Su Qian didn't seem to mind at all. She played with the teacup beside her and said expressionlessly, "If he wants it, then give it to him. The second young master of the Lu family is naturally rich and generous. We can't compete with him."
"Are you saying that the person in the private room on the top floor is Lu Mingxiu?" Sikong Jin asked.
She nodded her head.
Sikong Jin mulled over Su Qian's words and didn't continue.
The final bid for the Star of the Sea was two hundred million, and even the host was a little shocked.
This was the first time he had seen an item that was worth five million being sold for 200 million.
"Isn't it a bit too much of a loss to spend two hundred million on the Star of the Sea?" Huo Jingyang sneered.
Feng Xuanmo patted Huo Jingyang on the shoulder. "You don't understand. This is called spending money to buy happiness."
Didn't he see how Sikong Jin looked at Su Qian apologetically and how Mingxiu's lips unconsciously curved up?
...
After the auction ended, Su Qian wasn't in the mood to stay any longer and was prepared to leave with Sikong Jin.
When Lu Mingxiu saw that Su Qian and the others were about to leave, he immediately got up. He did not expect to meet Qin Yunshuang.
Even though she had seen Lu Mingxiu's face on television countless times, it still easily stirred up ripples in her heart when she saw him again.
"Mingxiu... I didn't expect to see you here," she called out softly.
She looked at him up and down and continued, "How are your injuries?"
Lu Mingxiu glanced at Qin Yunshuang indifferently. He did not seem to want to talk to her and only replied with, "They're fine."
She could feel that Lu Mingxiu was keeping a distance from her, but he concealed it well. She added, "Mingxiu, it's rare to see you. Let's meet up." Perhaps she was worried that Lu Mingxiu would reject her, so she glanced at Feng Xuanmo, Huo Jingyang, and Feng Tanjiu, "Sirs, would you grant me this favor?"
At this moment, Su Qian and Sikong Jin walked over. The moment she raised her head, her eyes met Lu Mingxiu's.
It made her feel like she had been caught in the act.
Soon, she felt that she was overthinking.
Feng Xuanmo followed Lu Mingxiu's line of sight and saw Su Qian standing not too far away. He couldn't help but slurp gently. This was a scene of carnage, but he was more optimistic about Su Qian.
