Chapter 34 Auction

Liu Shuang understood, and Lu Yuzhou stopped making things difficult for her.

The charity auction was about to begin and the scene gradually became quiet.

"We've been chatting for such a long time. I've taken a seat in the front row. Why don't we all go over there together?" Lu Yuzhou changed for a glass of red wine and looked at Liu Shuang.

"I won't go. Haha, our Mr. Shen is waiting for me." Liu Shuang didn't want to sit with this god.

Qi Ziyan was more excited. The front row, that was the front row, where one could see the auction items up close.

He had always wanted to get a front-row seat in the past, but never managed to do so. He didn't expect that this time, with Lu Yuzhou, he would be able to easily get a front-row seat.

"Can we really go? Brother Lu, then my sister and I will go together."

Ji Xueqing grew up in the Ji family. She was playmates with Lu Yuzhou for a while, but they haven't been in touch since high school. Their relationship can be said to be both familiar and unfamiliar.

"Sure." Lu Yuzhou replied.

The auction began, and the first item to be auctioned was the pair of black pearl earrings that Ji Xueqing mentioned.

This pair of pearl earrings is made of wild natural black pearls, and the starting price is 10. Compared with the expensive jewelry behind, this pair of earrings is like an appetizer that everyone can afford.

The moment the earrings were displayed, Ji Xueqing grabbed Qi Ziyan's arm.

"Brother Ziyan, look at this pair of pearl earrings. Aren't they beautiful?"

Ji Xueqing's eyes sparkled, and she obviously liked the pair of black pearl earrings very much.

"It's just normal. This color looks abnormal no matter how you look at it."

Qi Ziyan seriously denied it, "You don't want to buy this pair of black pearls, do you?"

Ji Xueqing had really wanted to buy it, and she felt it was worth it since all the profits from the charity auction would be used for charity.

But under Qi Ziyan's denial, Ji Xueqing didn't dare to say that she wanted to buy it. She just nodded slightly and answered very uncertainly: "A little bit."

Qi Ziyan's face suddenly turned ugly. Does he have to buy it for Ji Xueqing just because Ji Xueqing likes it?
Haha, forget it.

He is not a fool. How can he spend one hundred thousand dollars just because of three words from a woman?

"Xueqing, it's not right for you to do this. A woman should learn to be frugal and manage the household. You don't need jewelry, so don't always buy unnecessary things like this.

"Besides, if you keep buying things like this in the future, how can I trust you to take care of all our family property?

"Be obedient, we won't buy this."

Qi Ziyan's sudden lecture made Ji Xueqing lower her head and blush, as if she had done something terribly wrong.

Ji Chenxing didn't pay attention to Ji Xueqing at first until he saw comments about Qi Ziyan floating on the barrage.

[How can this man be so stingy that he can't even afford to buy something for his wife]

[A few days ago, I saw him giving gifts to his family in a live broadcast, and the comments said it was worth hundreds of thousands.]

[It seems that he is not short of money, but he just doesn’t have enough money to spend on his wife]

[This little girl is also pampered. If she really gets married, it will probably be like the saying goes, "A wife at the age of three has no housework, wakes up early and goes to bed late, and has no mornings."]

Ji Chenxing held Ji Xueqing's hand, "Xueqing, I think that pair of earrings is really beautiful. I like them very much. You have a good taste. What do you think?" Before Ji Xueqing could speak, Qi Ziyan answered for her, "Xueqing doesn't like them. We didn't plan to take a photo."

After saying that, Qi Ziyan looked into Ji Xueqing's eyes very sincerely, "Am I right, Xueqing?"

Ji Xueqing lowered her head and said nothing.

Qi Ziyan raised his head and met Ji Chenxing's gaze, "You see, she agreed."

"Sister, I'm sorry." Ji Xueqing lowered her head in shame.

After controlling Ji Xueqing, Qi Ziyan became even more arrogant, and even started to teach Ji Chenxing a lesson.

"You just came back from the countryside and may not have seen much of the world. You may be easily dazzled by these dazzling things. However, Xueqing's growth experience is completely different from yours. Don't lead her astray."

Ji Chenxing originally wanted to buy the earrings and give them to Ji Xueqing, and then forget about it. But when she heard Qi Ziyan start to lecture her, her eyes suddenly became sharp.

No one has ever dared to teach her how to do things this way since she was a child. Who the hell is Qi Ziyan?

The expression on Ji Chenxing's face disappeared, and his beautiful eyes were as cold and bright as stars.

"Mr. Lu, the starting price of this pair of black pearl earrings is 100,000. They should be the lowest-priced item in this auction, right?"

"Of course." Lu Yuzhou's expression was calm. "These two black pearls are of extremely high quality, about one centimeter in diameter, and each one is almost a perfect sphere. They are also pure and natural. I think the starting price of 100,000 is a bit low."

Ji Chenxing smiled, "That's right. But after all, this is a charity auction, so we have to give everyone a sense of participation.

"This is a charity auction. All the proceeds from the auction items are donated. In the end, it's not a waste. It can only be said that some people with extra money in life are helping others."

After she finished speaking, she turned her gaze to Qi Ziyan.

"I wonder which collection Mr. Qi is going to buy for Xueqing when he comes to do charity this time?"

Qi Ziyan's face suddenly turned green.

The reason he came to the charity gala was just to see Ji Xueqing. As for what was being auctioned at the charity gala, Qi Ziyan had no idea.

Ji Chenxing smiled, "It seems that Mr. Qi has no intention of taking pictures of anything. I thought he was not interested in the small dishes in front and was going to spend millions on our Xueqing."

Ji Chenxing’s words were like thunder to her head, and Ji Xueqing’s eyes soon turned red.

Among the more than 20 pieces of collection tonight, more than 10 are gems or jewelry. She is also a rich girl, so it is impossible for her to have no expectations at all.

But Qi Ziyan came this time without any gift for her.

Since he wasn't going to give anything as a gift, why did he take the initiative to attend this auction with her?
In an instant, Ji Xueqing thought of many people in her mind, her father who always doted on her, her gentle and considerate mother, her brother who was hard on the outside but soft on the inside, and her sister who protected her behind her back.

Although these people had no blood relationship with her, they always considered her in everything and never treated her unfairly.

Just think about it, if she were to act coquettishly to any of these men and say that she liked a pair of pearl earrings worth one hundred thousand dollars, they would definitely buy them on the spot without hesitation.

Does Qi Ziyan really love himself?
Perhaps he noticed that there was something wrong with Ji Xueqing's gaze, Qi Ziyan's eyes were as sharp as knives, and he wished he could cut off all of Ji Chenxing's flesh.

"Xueqing, don't get me wrong. Since I said I like you, how could I not give you anything?"

You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb. Qi Ziyan gritted his teeth, raised the cards in his hand reluctantly, and bought the pair of black pearl earrings for 150,000 yuan.
