auction hall.
Ye Qingxin entered the arena holding the bidding number plate and holding onto Jing Boyuan's arm.
At this time, there were quite a few people sitting on the seats, because the auction was mainly for magnificent jewelry and jadeite jewelry, and most of the people present were rich and rich women, who had both eastern and western faces, and there were also rich people leading young and beautiful lovers.
Ye Qingxin looked around quietly, everyone was dressed relatively formally, no wonder Jing Boyuan reminded her to change into more formal clothes.
The two walked to their seats and were about to sit down...
"Mr. Jing, what a coincidence that you brought your little lover to buy jewelry?" A potbellied man in his forties stood up from the front seat on the left side of the aisle. He had a big face and a thick neck.
Beside him was a young and beautiful girl who looked to be in her twenties, about the same as Ye Qingxin.
Generally, rich people lead their lovers into and out of public places, more or less restrained, but he seems to regard this as something worth showing off.
He walked over directly from his seat, Jing Boyuan looked calm and serious, and shook hands with him leisurely, his tone was calm and steady: "President Zhu."
Compared with Mr. Zhu's flamboyance, Jing Boyuan's every move reveals restrained, steady and mature.
Mr. Zhu's eyes fell on Ye Qingxin's face and figure intentionally or unintentionally, and his words were somewhat ambiguous, "Mr. Jing, your little lover looks really good."
At this time, the girl who was originally by Mr. Zhu's side walked over gracefully, and took his fat arm as if swearing sovereignty.
Mr. Zhu touched the girl's face, and smiled at Jing Boyuan: "This is Shanshan. I just met two days ago. Although it's not as good as the one next to Mr. Jing, it's okay."
The girl named Shanshan heard what he said, pouted her mouth and beat Mr. Zhu's slack chest, and hummed unhappily. The two lumps of flesh on her chest trembled, which made Mr. Zhu laugh out loud, and said, "My Shanshan is also a great beauty!"
Jing Boyuan smiled, stretched his long arms around Ye Qingxin's shoulders, and solemnly introduced: "This is my fiancee."
The smile on Mr. Zhu's face froze for a moment, and he looked at Ye Qingxin with a little more respect, "I'm really sorry, my eyes are clumsy, please don't mind Mrs. Jing."
Ye Qingxin smiled gracefully and dignifiedly, "Mr. Zhu is very polite."
After a few more pleasantries, the two groups separated.
Ye Qingxin sat down with Jing Boyuan, and she asked casually, "Who was that person just now?"
Jing Boyuan said indifferently: "Zhu Zigang is in the real estate business and has cooperated several times before."
Thinking of what he just said 'this is my fiancee', Ye Qingxin bit her lips, "You just... why did you say that I am your fiancee, I haven't promised to marry you..."
Jing Boyuan sat on the soft chair, his broad body leaned back slightly, and the two long legs wrapped in the straight storage tube overlapped casually, dignified and elegant. He just looked at the little girl next to him calmly, and after a while, his thin lips parted slightly, and his tone was light: "Really?"
Ye Qingxin felt her scalp tightened by his indifferent appearance, she always felt that the calmer he was, the more dangerous he was.
Bite the bullet and nodded, she whispered unwillingly: "You, you didn't propose..."
The voice, after all, is still a bit lacking in confidence.
Jing Boyuan didn't make a sound, just looked at her calmly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Ye Qingxin felt uncomfortable being stared at by him, she turned her head to the other side, not looking at him.
Bidders arrived one after another.
suddenly.
"Xinxin." A familiar female voice sounded behind Ye Qingxin.
Ye Qingxin turned her head back, Gu Jiao held the bidding number plate in her right hand, smiled and waved at her, her eyebrows were curved and her eyes were clean, making people look very comfortable.
"Miss Gu." Ye Qingxin greeted politely.
Gu Jiao smiled, and looked straight into Ye Qingxin's eyes: "Why do you always look outside like this? Can't you call me Jiaojiao?"
There was a bit of resentment in her tone, and her words and deeds clearly showed that she wanted to make friends with Ye Qingxin, but it would not make people think that she was too enthusiastic or awkward.
Ye Qingxin remembered that last time in the hospital, Gu Jiao asked the nurse to buy brown sugar for her, she was a very considerate person, so she smiled and called out: "Sister Jiaojiao." Gu Jiao was five or six years older than her, so she deserved to be her elder sister.
Gu Jiao smiled.
Out of the corner of an eye, it seems to fall on Jing Boyuan's back next to Ye Qingxin.
The man was dressed very formally, as if he had just come out of some serious occasion. A small section of white shirt collar was exposed from the upper edge of the collar of the black suit. It was clean and white, and his short, black hair was combed back meticulously. His shoulders were broad and he looked very secure.
Ye Qingxin had already turned her head and was talking to Jing Boyuan. When she was talking, Jing Boyuan leaned slightly towards her, as if he was listening to her carefully.
I don't know what Ye Qingxin whispered to him. Although his expression didn't fluctuate, he raised his hand and rubbed Ye Qingxin's hair in an intimate manner.
Jing Boyuan tilted his head slightly.
Gu Jiao could see half of his side face, and just this made her palpitations, her heart beating fast.
Gradually she became fascinated.
This is a handsome and charming man who can easily win people's hearts away.
Suddenly.
Jing Boyuan turned his head and looked over with a pair of deep and calm eyes.
Gu Jiao's whole body trembled, and her heart panicked for no reason.
Jing Boyuan's eyes glowed with insight and wisdom, with a somewhat menacing sternness and warning, as if the little secret that he had hidden deep in his heart had long been invisible in his sight.
Gu Jiao dodged her eyes a few times, then raised her eyes to say something, but saw that the man had turned his head back, as if the scene he turned his head to look at just now was just his own illusion.
She bit her lip and lowered her head, clutching the bidding number in her hand.
The auction will start step by step.
The first auction item is a pair of sapphire and diamond earrings with a reserve price of RMB 800,000.
Someone will increase the price one after another.
After photographing several pieces of jewelry in a row, the pink diamond necklace that Ye Qingxin was looking forward to finally appeared.
The necklace Mrs. Chang gave her will not be cheap. The highest price of those few pieces of jewelry just now was 10 million yuan, and this one can be sold for 2 million yuan no matter what.
It really is a world of rich people who spend money like water, spending 10 million to buy a piece of jewelry back home is really extravagant in Ye Qingxin's view, she can't understand the inner world of rich people.
The auctioneer quoted the lowest price for the pink diamond necklace: RMB 1.3 million.
Ye Qingxin was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly remembered that a few days ago, Jing Boyuan casually asked her what the expected price was. She said it would be at least 1.3 million.
Turning her head to look at Jing Boyuan's expressionless face, she was suddenly moved.
This man is always so considerate.
Sensing her gaze, Jing Boyuan raised his hand to hold her little hand, holding it silently.
One after another, some people raised signs to increase the price.
Sotheby's has a rule that once a bidder raises a placard, a minimum of 100,000 yuan will be added. That is, if the bidder only raises a placard without speaking, he will add 100,000 yuan. If he wants to add more, he can quote himself.
After someone raised the placard again, the auctioneer's correct voice spread throughout the auction hall through the microphone: "I have 1.6 million, is there any price increase?"
After a pause, another person raised a sign.
Auctioneer: "I have 1.7 million, is there any price increase?"
No one raised their cards again.
The auctioneer watched the audience, "1.7 million yuan, the first time of 1.7 million yuan..." Pause for a moment, "The second time of 1.7 million yuan—"
Before the words were finished, someone raised a placard, followed by a whining female voice: "Two million!" in a tone of spending a lot of money.
Ye Qingxin searched for the sound and looked over, it was the girl named Shanshan next to Mr. Zhu who had just greeted Jing Boyuan.
I don't know if it was driven by her, but someone started raising a sign again. It was a middle-aged man, "Two and a half million."
Shanshan refused to accept: "Three million!"
Middle-aged man: "Three and a half million."
Shanshan: "Four million!"
The two seemed to be on the bar.
Middle-aged man: "4.5 million." His tone was very calm, as if he had a certain chance of winning, but he didn't seem to care, just talking casually.
Shanshan: "Five million!"
Ye Qingxin's eyes were shining brightly, the string in her heart became more and more tense as the price continued to increase, her hands unconsciously grasped Jing Boyuan's forearm tightly, and pulled out two groups of folds from his straight suit sleeves.
Jing Boyuan glanced at the place she was holding, but didn't respond, then turned his gaze to the auction booth.
Suddenly remembered something, he turned his head to look at Ye Qingxin, his voice was not too loud, just enough that people in the front and rear seats could hear, "This pink diamond necklace is very unique, do you like it? If so, I will take a photo for you."
"Huh?" Ye Qingxin was taken aback by his words, a little confused.
Isn't this necklace what she wants to sell? Where does someone sell something and then buy it back at a high price
She stared at Jing Boyuan suspiciously, Jing Boyuan raised his hand and pinched her cheek, and Ye Qingxin couldn't understand what she said, "What are you doing looking at me like that? I just think this necklace is very suitable for girls, it must look good on you." After a pause, he asked again: "Do you like it?"
Although he couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in his gourd, Ye Qingxin shook her head firmly, "I don't want it."
Jing Boyuan moved and leaned back on the chair, regretting as if talking to himself: "It's a pity, this necklace is pretty good."
Ye Qingxin stared at Jing Boyuan's expression for a few seconds, always felt that his words had some deep meaning, but his expression was as calm and calm as always, his eyes were deep and calm, and there was really no clue.
But soon, her attention was attracted by two people who were competing to bid.
At this time, the price of the pink diamond necklace had exceeded ten million, and the atmosphere in the entire auction hall became solemn.
Shanshan: "Eleven million!"
The middle-aged man calmly raised his sign: "11.5 million."
Shanshan gritted her teeth and glared at the middle-aged man, raised her sign again, and raised the price in a coquettish voice: "Fifteen million!"
Sitting next to her, Mr. Zhu's face twitched, his face was a little ugly, he gritted his teeth, and said nothing.
Middle-aged man: "15.5 million."
Shanshan: "Two
Never! "
Mr. Zhu suddenly changed his face, turned his head and gave Shanshan a look, and said in a stern tone, "Shanshan!"
Shanshan was taken aback for a moment, then lowered her head aggrievedly, looking very pitiful.
Mr. Zhu gave Shanshan a displeased look, but said nothing.
Although he takes pleasure in raising a young lover and is generous to his lover, he has not yet reached the point where he can spend so much money for his lover.
20 million to buy a necklace is his limit.
It would be best if the middle-aged man who was chasing after him raised the price again, then it would be logical for him not to spend 20 million on a necklace.
Who knows.
The middle-aged man did not raise the price.
The auctioneer: "20 million yuan, 20 million yuan for the first time..." Pause, watching the audience, seeing that no one raised a placard, he was about to quote the second price, but someone raised a placard again.
"Twenty-one million." Gu Jiao's voice was crisp.
There was a slight uproar in the auction hall.
Even though the pink diamond necklace is beautiful and exquisite, even though the pink diamond weighs 10 carats and is exquisitely cut, the market valuation is only between one million and three million, twenty-one million, far exceeding its value.
Shanshan turned her head and stared at Gu Jiao in displeasure. She really liked that necklace. If the woman hadn't raised the price suddenly, the necklace would have been hers. She turned her head to look at Mr. Zhu's sharp eyes, pursed her lips, and immediately smiled.
Mr. Zhu's fat hand touched her bare thigh hard.
While the two were talking, the middle-aged man who was fighting with Shanshan before got into a fight with Gu Jiao again.
The price has been increased to 30 million.
The atmosphere of the audience was pushed to a climax.
Prices are still going up.
The middle-aged man raised his sign slowly: "Thirty-one million."
Gu Jiao held up a sign: "Thirty-five million."
Her eyes fell to the big screen on the right side of the auction booth, staring at the photo of the necklace, her eyes were full of determination.
Out of the corner of my eye, it was full of men's crisp black suits.
He said good things, she wants.
at all costs!
Middle-aged man: "Thirty-six million."
Gu Jiao: "Forty million."
Middle-aged man: "Forty-one million."
Gu Jiao gritted her teeth and directly increased it to 50 million.
As soon as the words came out, there was a gasp around them, and they all turned their heads to look at Gu Jiao. Is this woman crazy
The middle-aged man said slowly, "Fifty-one million."
Gu Jiao looked in the direction of the middle-aged man, wondering if it was an illusion, she had the feeling that this man was deliberately forcing her to increase the price, just like just now, forcing another girl to increase the price.
She pursed her lower lip and held up a sign: "Fifty-five million."
As soon as the words fell, the middle-aged man followed closely: "Fifty-six million."
Gu Jiao: "..."
At this moment, Ye Qingxin was filled with a sense of unreality of a poor man suddenly rich.
Fifty-six million... She never dared to dream that she had so much money...
Turning her head to look at Gu Jiao, she saw that Gu Jiao's face was a bit ugly. She opened her mouth to remind Gu Jiao that enough is enough, but suddenly there was a sharp pain in her hand.
When it reaches the mouth, it becomes a cry.
"Why are you pinching me?" Ye Qingxin held her right hand in her left hand, stared at Jing Boyuan and questioned, red marks appeared on the fair skin on the back of her right hand.
Jing Boyuan took her right hand and rubbed it gently, his voice was neither salty nor weak, it could even be said to be indifferent, "Don't talk if you don't bid, just watch quietly."
Ye Qingxin understood what he meant in seconds.
He told her not to intervene and let Gu Jiao bid with that middle-aged man.
Seeing Jing Boyuan's indifferent expression, Ye Qingxin couldn't help but slander, this man is really unreasonable.
How to put it, they knew Gu Jiao well, and I heard from Mrs. Hong that the relationship between the seven big families of Jinghe, Shengyan, Ji and Xiaocheng in Beijing was better than that of other big families.
He was able to watch Gu Jiao suffer such a big loss.
So indifferent.
After thinking about it, a smile appeared on Ye Qingxin's face.
It feels good to be indifferent to others and treat her tenderly alone.
This is also another manifestation of the charm of mature and stable old men in their thirties. They have gone through a lot and know what attitude to use and what distance to keep when dealing with different people.
Unlike those young people, they want to act as flower protectors when facing any woman, hugging and asking for warmth, thinking that they are gentle and considerate, thinking that their words and deeds are gentlemanly, and thinking that they are warm men, but they don't know how much harm and disappointment such behavior will cause to the closest woman by their side.
Imagine a picture: Gu Jiao suffers a loss, Jing Boyuan advises softly beside her, then Gu Jiao gratefully offers her body, Jing Boyuan gently rubs her hair, and does not refuse.
Ye Qingxin shivered for no reason.
Looking at Jing Boyuan's serious and unkind face again, I suddenly felt that I fell in love with his expression.
In the ear, Gu Jiao was still bidding with the middle-aged man.
Ye Qingxin's attention had already shifted from the soaring price of pink diamond necklaces to Jing Boyuan, she tilted her head to stare at Jing Boyuan's face, her big grape eyes were sparkling, and she pursed her lips and smiled.
Jing Boyuan noticed her sudden intense gaze, and looked down slightly, "What's wrong?"
Ye Qingxin smiled and looked into his eyes for a moment, and suddenly, her pink lips moved close to his ear, breathed like blue, and whispered word by word: "Bo Yuan, I seem to... like you a little more."
While speaking, the girl's warm and fragrant breath sprayed into the man's ears, and the words she spit out, like pieces of light feathers, fell into the man's calm heart.
The man turned his eyes, and his deep eyes met the girl's watery eyes, which gradually darkened.
His expression and eyes didn't fluctuate at all, but the big hand holding Ye Qingxin's right hand was a little harder, and his thumb rubbed the back of her hand.
Ye Qingxin knew that he was not untouched by her words.
She held Jing Boyuan's hand backhand.
At this time, the pink diamond necklace has been added to 70 million, and Gu Jiao's price increase has decreased each time, and only 1 million is added for each card.
When the price rose to 80 million, her complexion was extremely ugly, and she faintly wanted to retreat, but when she thought of Jing Boyuan's previous praise for the necklace, she felt unwilling and supported her to grit her teeth and increase the price again and again.
The middle-aged man remained as calm as before, "Eighty-four million."
Everyone in the audience turned into a gesture of watching the show, waiting to see which idiot bought the necklace in the end.
Auctioneer: "84 million yuan, is there any price increase?" The audience was silent, "84 million yuan, 84 million yuan for the first time... 84 million yuan for the second time... 84 million yuan for the last time."
"Eighty-five million." The sudden voice interrupted the auctioneer's action of dropping the hammer, and Gu Jiao raised the placard again to increase the price.
For the last time, Gu Jiao told herself in her heart that if the middle-aged man increased the price, she would give up.
Although she really wanted the necklace praised by Jing Boyuan, her financial resources were limited, and the real economic conditions did not allow her to be extravagant.
The auctioneer seemed a little excited, "85 million, is there any price increase?"
Jing Boyuan glanced slowly in the direction of the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man's eyes and Jing Boyuan's eyes moved away, and something flickered in his eyes, and he didn't raise his sign to increase the price.
In the end, Ye Qingxin's pink diamond necklace was photographed by Gu Jiao with the highest price of 85 million yuan.
However, Ye Qingxin no longer had the initial excitement and excitement at this time, she suddenly felt that there was nothing in this world more worthy of her liking than this man beside her.
Immediately at the scene, a staff member sent a 'deal confirmation letter' for Gu Jiao to sign. The moment she signed her name, a tinge of heartache slid across her face.
But soon he was relieved, it was the necklace that Jing Boyuan praised, it was worth it.
The auction this time pushed the atmosphere of the auction site to a climax. The following jewelry items did not have this treatment, and most of them were sold by the bidders at a price of four to five million.
The one with the highest bidding price was a set of emerald jewelry, an emerald and diamond necklace, and a pair of emerald and diamond earrings that Jing Boyuan bought for 14 million.
Regarding this, Ye Qingxin had some criticisms.
"Why are you spending so much money on this? It's so old-fashioned, it doesn't look good at all." She thought that he must have bought it as a gift for her.
Who knows.
Jing Boyuan smoothly signed his name on the 'Deal Confirmation Letter', without raising his head, he said: "It's not for you, don't worry."
Ye Qingxin: "..."
