Graff Pink Diamond?
Chi Mu Jiu leaned forward uncertainly, her body slightly inclined as her gaze fixated on the dazzling pink diamond on the stage. Under the illumination of the lights, the diamond radiated a dreamlike glow, as if it contained endless charm and mystery.
Although it was only five carats, witnessing such a noble pink diamond at a domestic auction was indeed an eye-opener. Chi Mu Jiu murmured to herself, her eyes filled with awe and admiration. The appearance of this diamond instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the noble ladies present, who began to whisper among themselves, unable to contain their excitement.
However, securing this diamond ring would require a significant amount of money. Chi Mu Jiu was well aware that this would be a fierce bidding war.
The Graff Pink Diamond, five carats, started at a price of ten million, with each subsequent bid not less than one million. Ladies and gentlemen, do not miss out!
The sweet voice of the host rang out, like the beating of drums signaling the start of battle. As soon as she finished speaking, someone immediately placed a bid.
Twelve million!
Fifteen million!
Another voice quickly followed, refusing to back down.
Eighteen million!
The prices continued to soar, and the atmosphere grew increasingly tense. Watching the bids climb higher and higher, a flicker of hesitation crossed Chi Mu Jiu's eyes. The price had far exceeded her expectations.
Do you like it?
Du Heng Yan's disdainful voice echoed in her ear, laced with a hint of inquiry.
I do like it, but at this price point for bidding, I can't afford it.
Chi Mu Jiu shook her head helplessly. She glanced at the card in her hand; it held just over one hundred million. If she bought this ring, she would likely be eating dirt for quite some time—especially since there were two mouths to feed now. A trace of regret and reluctance flickered in her eyes.
I thought your family was wealthy beyond measure.
Du Heng Yan teased with a smile, his lips curling up with a hint of mockery.
However, he raised the bidding paddle without hesitation.
"Upper-level VIP bids 100 million!"
The host's excited voice echoed throughout the auction hall, drawing everyone's attention to the large windows of the upper-level room.
Meanwhile, sitting in the middle section, Chi Qiyun was feeling increasingly frustrated. She tightly grasped the arm of Lei Ji beside her and pouted, "Ji Shao, look! I really like it!"
Beside her, Lei Ji swallowed hard, feeling hesitant about such a staggering amount. 100 million was simply not a price that ordinary people could afford. But at this moment, he couldn't afford to lose face in front of Chi Qiyun.
So, gritting his teeth and steeling his resolve, he placed another bid.
"Middle-level customer bids 120 million!"
The host's voice rose even higher, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
Chi Mu Jiu looked at the paddle raised from that position and indeed saw it was Chi Qiyun again. A wave of disgust surged within her; how could this woman, instead of accompanying her scheming mother in the hospital, have the heart to come here and spend money?
"Du Chengyan, do you have a lot of money?"
Chi Mu Jiu turned to look at Du Chengyan, her eyes filled with a mix of anticipation and concern.
"I don't know how much I have, but I do have some money. As long as you like it, I can buy it for you," Du Chengyan replied with a smile.
Then he placed another bid.
"Upper-level VIP raises the bid to 150 million!"
The host's voice nearly broke from excitement, causing an uproar in the entire auction hall. Not only were the attendees stunned, but even Chi Mu Jiu was taken aback.
"Is this what you call having a bit of money?" She looked at Du Chengyan in disbelief.
Du Chengyan raised an eyebrow at her, signaling her to relax.
"Don't worry, I can handle this amount of money."
"Who on earth are those people upstairs?"
Chi Qiyun was well aware that this price was far beyond what the Lei family and the Chi family could afford.
She could only reluctantly cast a probing glance at the woman in the floor-to-ceiling window, but all she could see was a blurred silhouette.
Unfortunately, the mask obscured her face.
Chi Qiyun mumbled to herself, feeling a mix of disappointment and jealousy.
"Don't be upset, Yun Yun. I heard there are other good things at the banquet. I’ll definitely get something for you."
Lei Ji quickly reassured Chi Qiyun, feeling relieved that the person upstairs was driving up the price; otherwise, he would have had to spend a fortune tonight.
Chi Qiyun had no choice but to suppress her feelings, silently vowing to find out who the person upstairs was.
"One hundred million!"
