The highlight of the charity gala is the auction, which usually features expensive luxury items, and this time the main item is jewelry.
When everyone sat down, the first item was already on display on the stage. It was an emerald necklace decorated with diamonds. It looked of very good quality.
Qin Mingyuan was sitting in the middle of the first row, and could see the details of the items very clearly. However, he was not interested and looked away after just one glance.
The physical discomfort seemed to be even more intense at this moment, and his head felt like it was going to explode. He lowered his eyes slightly, without showing it on his face, and just placed his fingers on his temples and rubbed them slowly.
Sitting next to him was Gao Qing, and on her other side sat her son Liang Zichen. The Liang family's prince really did as he said and arranged Yun Yuexian to sit next to him.
Gao Qing occasionally looked over there with a hint of displeasure, but she ultimately did not say anything in such an occasion.
Liang Zichen sensed his mother's mood. Seeing her take a closer look at the jewelry on the stage, he raised his sign and smiled at her, saying, "I haven't given my mother a gift for a long time. I just bought it for you. This quality of jewelry is just right for you."
Gao Qing's expression softened a lot when she heard that. After all, he was her son and she couldn't bear to blame him. She let him play if he wanted, as long as he was careful about what was allowed.
Yun Yuexian noticed the occasional disdain in the gazes that fell on him, as if he was just a worthless thing. He kept smiling on his face, pretending not to notice, but gritted his teeth in hatred in his heart.
The first lot was finally bought by Liang Zichen for 15 million yuan. The staff on the stage wore gloves, put the necklace into a velvet box, and handed it to him on the spot, who then gave it to his mother.
Those who wanted to please the Liang family all applauded and praised Young Master Liang for being young, promising and filial, which made Gao Qing in a good mood.
Qin Mingyuan had no interest in appreciating their farce. The applause made his head hurt even more. He raised his eyelids and glanced at the loving mother and son next to him, frowning impatiently.
Yun Yuexian glanced at the velvet box that Gao Qing placed beside him, feeling envious and happy. His father had never been willing to buy such expensive jewelry for his mother, and the most precious necklace was only worth three million.
Liang Zichen spent 15 million without blinking an eye. This amount of money was just a drop in the bucket for them. If she was really with him, she would have everything she wanted.
And Yun Pei... He sneered. Now he could only sit in the back row where he couldn't be seen from here. It was obvious that Qin Mingyuan didn't care much about him. What he did just now was definitely for him to see and attract his attention.
Yun Yuexian raised her eyes to look at Qin Mingyuan who was sitting on the other side. The man raised his hand and slightly supported his forehead. He seemed a little lazy when sitting, and exuded the charm of a mature man.
In fact, compared to Liang Zichen, the other party made him more satisfied. The former's mother was too strong and looked down on him, which made him very unhappy.
Qin Mingyuan is different. He now holds the power of Qin Group, and his parents are abroad all year round, so they cannot see each other often. If I marry him, I will directly become the wife of the president of Qin Group, and no one can control me.
But Liang Zichen is more humorous and can make him happy, unlike Qin Mingyuan who has a cold face all day long and doesn't say any sweet words, which is really a bit boring.
Yun Yuexian had a smile on her lips. It was difficult to choose. There were so many outstanding men who liked her. It was really difficult to choose.
Qin Mingyuan had no interest in checking out the items on the stage one by one. Perhaps it was due to his health, he felt the air conditioning in the venue was very uncomfortable.
I was thinking about joining the auction when the next item came up, then leaving to sit outside in the open-air sky garden, and then coming back when the organizer gave a speech, and not attending the subsequent dance party.
A new item was brought up for auction. It was a pigeon-blood red gemstone ring with a very novel design. The ring face was very wide and had raised patterns. The details were magnified on the screen at the back, revealing a retro cloud pattern.
The ring is elegant in style and not feminine, and it looks like it can be worn by men as well.
Qin Mingyuan raised his eyelids and looked around. He didn't know what he remembered. He sat up slightly, obviously ready to participate in the auction.
"This ring is so beautiful." Yun Yuexian was a little moved when he saw the exquisite jewelry on the stage. He glanced at the people around him and sighed seemingly unintentionally.
Liang Zichen turned around when he heard what he said, smiled and patted his hand, "I'll buy it for you later."
He has had a lot of experience with jewelry and can tell that this ring is worth around seven or eight million. The organizer will leave room for bidding and the starting price will probably be five million.
Considering the status of the Liang family, no one would seriously compete with him for what he wants, so he should be able to get it for less than 15 million.
It’s not that he cares about the money, but the necklace he gave to his mother before was also of this price. She didn’t seem to like Xiaoxian very much. If he gave her something of higher value, she would be unhappy, and it would be even more difficult for her to accept him.
Yun Yuexian was very happy when she heard that he wanted to give it to her, but she still looked a little embarrassed, "Forget it, it's too expensive."
"It's okay, it's just a gift." Liang Zichen rubbed the back of his hand with his fingers to soothe him. Seeing his blushing face, he smiled with satisfaction.
The display phase is over and the auction has officially begun. It is similar to Liang Zichen's estimation. The starting price of the ring is five million, and the increase starts at five hundred thousand each time.
He was determined to get the ring and directly raised his hand to offer a price of eight million.
There were two people who took up the bid later, and the price was pushed up to nearly 10 million. The bidding ended here just for show, and I don’t think anyone will raise the price anymore.
The purpose of the charity gala is charity. Liang Zichen did not just increase the price by 500,000 to get it. He quoted a price of 13 million. After the auction was completed at this price, everything was perfect.
The pricing hammer had already fallen twice. He curled the corners of his lips and waited for the third time with peace of mind.
"Twenty million."
A bland voice sounded at this time. His expression changed and he turned to look over.
"Boom."
"Twenty million at a time!"
Liang Zichen had a very ugly expression. His reason told him that he should stop there, but this person really made him very unhappy. The praise he had heard from his mother for many years made him not want to lose.
"Boom."
"Twenty million..."
"Twenty-two million!" He held up the sign, a smile on his face, and looked at the man with slightly narrowed eyes.
Gao Qing frowned, very much disapproving of his behavior. It was really unnecessary to go against the Qin family in this way. She was even more dissatisfied with Yun Yuexian.
Seeing that the two of them were obviously preparing to confront each other, everyone present was more or less excited to watch the show.
Is it because of Yun Yuexian that they are so confrontational
Many people saw the previous scene, but if Qin Mingyuan really didn't care, why would he target Young Master Liang now? It couldn't be that he just liked the ring, right
Moreover, although Young Master Yun did have a good-looking face, he was a cripple after all. He was very withdrawn and taciturn, and his facial expression was always dull. He was not as likable as Young Master Yun.
The onlookers are really curious about this. Is this low-key President Qin really in love with someone else or is he playing hard to get
Qin Mingyuan lazily raised the sign, without even looking at the provocative Liang Zichen, and spoke directly with a slightly hoarse voice, "Thirty million."
Hiss, the wealthy people present all gasped unconsciously, not because of the money, but because they felt that the gap was so big and he didn't care at all about rubbing Young Master Liang's face on the ground, leaving no room for him at all.
Liang Zichen felt that he was deliberately going against him. He was in a bad mood. He clenched his hands on the chair, lowered his eyes slightly, and opened his mouth...
"That's enough!" Gao Qing glanced at him with a bad look on her face, "Let's stop here and stop messing around."
If we continue to fight like this, it will be really embarrassing if we can't end it.
Although the status of the Qin and Liang families are almost equal, there is no family strife in the Qin family. Qin Mingyuan is already in full power. Their Liang family is different. The internal situation is too chaotic. They have to guard against both external enemies and internal troubles. There is no benefit in making unpleasant things happen with each other.
After hearing what his mother said, Liang Zichen finally came to his senses. Although he was still a little unwilling, he finally stopped talking.
The ring was finally bought by Qin Mingyuan for 30 million yuan.
After their previous confrontation, Yun Yuexian felt a little expectant. Was he doing this for her? Was the ring for her
The competing product was taken down, and the staff handed it to him with a velvet box in both hands. The red gem sparkled under the light, very beautiful.
Qin Mingyuan took it and took a look, then stood up. Everyone in the venue looked at him, and then he looked at Yun Yuexian, whose face was slightly flushed.
But Qin Mingyuan was not heading in that direction. He turned around and went to the back row.
Everyone seemed to have guessed something, and their eyes instantly shifted back to where the Yun family was.
As Qin Mingyuan walked backwards step by step, the upper-class people who maintained their dignified appearance could not help but watch the show. The reactions of several main characters were so worth looking forward to that they didn't know who to look at for a moment.
Their eagerness did not affect Qin Mingyuan. He took slow steps and walked back, getting closer and closer to where the Yun family was.
Everyone's expectations were raised to the extreme. They stared at President Qin as if they were watching a model at a fashion show, although his looks and height were indeed not inferior to those of a model.
In everyone's sight, Qin Mingyuan walked firmly and without hesitation all the way to where the Yun family was.
The onlookers held their breath as they watched him walk to the side of the Yun family, and then... without stopping, he walked all the way out of the door leading to the open-air garden.
Why
Where is the ring
What about confession
Where is the Shura Field
Where is the good show they are looking forward to? !
That's it
The venue was as quiet as a chicken, and you could almost hear a pin drop. No one knew what was going on in their hearts. The host's voice introducing the new exhibits broke the silence, and everyone finally reluctantly put away their desire to watch the show.
Yun Yuexian, whose expression became uglier as the man walked forward, relaxed his expression. Humph, he said, why would he give it to that cripple? He turned around and sat down, maintaining his posture.
Yun Pei was in a different mood. He breathed a sigh of relief that Qin Mingyuan didn't come over. The previous scene was already enough to make him overwhelmed. If something more exaggerated happened again, he would not know how to end it.
He glanced at Yun Haowei who was full of regret and Huo Lijuan who was feeling proud again, then turned his eyes away nonchalantly, suppressing the slightest bit of loss in his heart.
"Ding".
The cell phone in the side pocket of the wheelchair rang. It was not noticeable in the conference room. Yun Pei saw that no one cared about him, so he took it out and took a look, his expression paused.
[Boss Qin: Find an opportunity to come out.]
