I rode a Kawasaki H2 to school, only to find out the school beauty was my ex-girlfriend.

auction.

Officially begin!

The auctioneer was dressed in a sharp black tuxedo.

In his hand, he held a small, gilded hammer.

"Today's auction is quite special!"

"This time, we specially invited a master stone sculptor!"

"Those who win the auction can have their own custom-made jewelry made on the spot!"

I just finished speaking.

An elderly man appeared slowly.

Take a seat at the worktable on the right.

Many people in the jewelry business present gasped in surprise.

"It's actually Master Long Guoshan! If we film this and then commission him to produce the artwork, the price will definitely go up even further!"

I heard all sorts of exclamations of surprise.

The auctioneer smiled and raised his small gavel.

Then a woman was asked to bring over the first item covered by a red cloth.

"The first item to be auctioned today."

"A strange rock resembling a dragon was discovered on a volcano."

"Starting bid: six million!"

The red cloth on the table was slowly lifted.

A white stone shaped like a soaring dragon was revealed.

Many people raised their bids, clearly showing great interest in this unusual stone.

Wan Jiang, who was sitting in the second-to-last row, secretly took out his phone to take pictures.

He stared at the strange rock with a look of amazement.

"Wow, this rock is almost as expensive as my car!"

After expressing his feelings, he turned to look at his older brother, Lin Yun, who was petting a dog.

"Big brother, are you going to make a move today?"

In his view.

My older brother is mysterious and unpredictable.

That villa, that helicopter—buying a rock worth millions is just a piece of cake for them.

A fat middle-aged man sitting next to him curled his lip in disdain.

"Tch, make a move? What are you bragging about?"

"Those of us in the last three rows are just here to make up the number of people!"

"Only those at the top have the financial means to buy these things!"

Hearing what the man said.

Wan Jiang crossed his arms unhappily.

"What do you mean? You don't have the ability yourself, but you think others can't afford it?"

"This little brat doesn't even know his own limitations and dares to come to the auction? What if he grits his teeth and buys something, only to get kicked out of the house by his elders when he gets home!"

The man retorted without flinching, believing that everyone here was roughly equal in strength and there was no need to back down!

Wan Jiang clenched his pitifully small fist.

"If this weren't an auction, I would have punched you right in the gut!"

"Heh..." The man glanced at her and sneered disdainfully, "With your small frame, you should go back and train first."

"Fine, fine, you just wait!"

Wan Jiang was furious, but he was also mindful that it was an auction, so he dared not make any big moves.

Lin Yun sat between the two female senior students.

He didn't say a word the whole time, just quietly petted the dog.

auctions.

Four items were sold quickly.

In the blink of an eye, we arrived at the fifth item.

"Bosses, please!"

The auctioneer smiled.

"Our next item is an exceptional piece!"

"It's an imperial red jadeite that an elderly man from the neighboring city found at a rough stone market!"

As they were talking.

Lift the red cloth on the table.

A piece of red jade the size of a finger appears, translucent like the glow of the sunset under the light, showcasing the ultimate beauty of jade.

"This is top-grade imperial red jadeite, without any impurities or cracks. It can be said to be one of the best jadeite treasures in recent years."

With the emergence of Imperial Red Jade.

The murmurs in the auction hall grew louder.

The auctioneer smiled and held up two fingers.

"This item has a starting price of 2000 million, with each bid increasing by at least 100 million!"

"Furthermore, the elderly man from Hongfei said that no matter how much he wins at auction, all the money will be donated to welfare organizations!"

Starting price of 2000 million.

Those sitting at the back of the room shook their heads in regret.

The woman sitting in the third row from the top, next to Shen Shuang and exuding an air of nobility, was the first to raise her placard.

soon……

The price then climbed to 30 million.

Xia Xueying stared at the bright red on the stage.

I both longed for it and admired it.

"This is truly top-grade red jade; I wonder who it will ultimately end up with."

"That goes without saying, it's definitely the He family. They're the most powerful jewelry company in this auction!"

The man, who had previously clashed with Wanjiang, answered the beautiful woman's question with a light laugh.

Wan Jiang glared fiercely at the man.

He looked at Xia Xueying.

"Sister-in-law, this guy is right, it should belong to the He family!"

Sister-in-law?

This word came out.

The three women and one man were all stunned.

The young foreigner nervously grabbed his older cousin, saying, "What are you saying? My cousin is your sister-in-law!"

Xia Xueying also quickly waved her hands and began to clarify.

"My relationship with the boss isn't that kind of relationship!"

"I understand, I understand!"

Wan Jiang gave him a knowing look.

Lin Yun and Shangguan Qian, watching this, wished they could kick each other in the face.

The auction of red jadeite is gradually entering a heated phase.

The price has reached 3800 million!

After the young master of the He family raised the sign.

He stood up and looked at the Shen family sitting in the back row.

"Mrs. Shen, 3800 million, that's already exceeded your expectations, hasn't it?"

"I'll say it again: as long as your Shen family considers a marriage alliance with our He family and marries Shen Shuang to me, we'll be a powerful alliance. In that case, I'll give this piece of red jade to your Shen family after I win the bid!"

Young Master He stood smugly with his hands behind his back.

He looked like he had the other party completely under his control.

To this, Shen Shuang simply responded with a cold word: "Get lost!"

back row.

Wan Jiang couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"Holy crap, this guy from the He family is amazing! He even takes on women as cold as ice!"

"However, if these two companies really join forces, I doubt any jewelry company in Jiangcheng would dare to compete with them!"

Hearing my younger brother's sigh.

Lin Yun looked over curiously.

"Since this school beauty's family is so rich, why does her life at school seem so ordinary?"

As the vice president of the animal protection club.

With such a wealthy family, why do they frequently cancel events due to sponsorship issues? Surely they shouldn't be that stingy?

Wanjiang slapped his thigh excitedly upon hearing the question.

"Brother, you've come to the right person! The girl I contacted earlier happened to be in Shen's dorm!"

"I learned a lot about School Beauty Shen from her!"

"I've heard that Grandpa Shen firmly believes that spoiling children without proper upbringing easily breeds arrogance and domineering behavior!"

"So they raise their children frugally, and their living expenses seem to be hundreds of thousands a month!"

Hundreds of thousands...

Raising a child in poverty?

Shangguan Qian and Xia Xueying both twitched at the corners of their mouths.

If you call it "raising children in poverty" if they have hundreds of thousands of dollars in living expenses, then what do you call them if they have tens of thousands or thousands of dollars in living expenses per month?

The young master of the He family in the front row was not annoyed.

He just smiled and sat back down.

"Very well, in that case, the He family will gladly accept this piece of red jade!"

Seeing that no one else was bidding, the auctioneer picked up the gavel.

"3800 million per bid, is there anyone offering higher?"

"3800 million twice..."

Just as the final decision was about to be made.

Lin Yun, who was holding the puppy the whole time.

He picked up the sign next to the chair and silently held it up.

Just as the auctioneer was about to bring down the hammer for the third time, he was slightly taken aback when he saw someone in the back row raise their paddle.

Having worked as an auctioneer in this place for so many years, this is the first time I've ever seen someone in the back row dare to challenge those in the front.

Stop what you're doing immediately.

He shouted loudly, "Thirty-nine million!!!"
