Dressed Like a Cute Little Lucky Bag Chapter 851

Chapter 847: The Show Has Begun.

  Helian Jiao immediately raised her sign to bid, shouting with overwhelming confidence, "Two hundred thousand!"

  The moment her powerful voice blared, the guests present burst into laughter.

  Mainlanders are truly unworldly country bumpkins, even shouting out loud. Shame on them!

  Bai Jingjing, on the other hand, was both disdainful and delighted. The show had begun!

  Only the host seemed genuinely pleased, her voice rising sharply: "Two hundred thousand!"

  Immediately, a young woman elegantly raised her sign: "Two hundred and ten thousand."

  She didn't really want it; she just wanted to teach these mainland bumpkins a lesson in manners!

  Helian Jiao paid no mind, raising her sign once more with full confidence: "Two hundred and fifty thousand."

  "Two hundred and fifty thousand for the first time, two hundred and fifty thousand for the second time, two hundred and fifty thousand... for the third time!" The hammer fell.

  Bang!

  "Congratulations to guest number one for winning a painting by Xu Beihong for two hundred and fifty thousand!" the host led the applause.

  Sparse applause broke out.

  Other voices whispered, "Do people from the mainland understand calligraphy and painting? They're truly nouveau riche!"

  "Now, onto the second lot. I don't know how to describe the rarity of this diamond, but this sale is the most exciting I've ever seen in my career in the auction industry. The Graff Pink Diamond is one of the most desirable diamonds I've ever seen,"

  the host exclaimed, and then a staff member carried a massive diamond onto the stage.

  "What woman wouldn't be captivated by this diamond! The Graff Pink Diamond weighs 14.78 grams! Auction price: 800,000! Bids start at 50,000 yuan each. Please place your bids."

  Compared to calligraphy, paintings, diamonds, and other jewelry, the men showed little interest. A few sought to impress the beauties, and some were wealthy ladies.

  The little princess, however, showed little interest in the small diamonds; she wasn't as tempted by the snacks on the table.   

  The auction was about to end, and seeing that she hadn't shown any interest in bidding, Bai Jingjing smiled and suggested, "Ms. Chen, this diamond complements your skin tone perfectly. Why not buy it and make a necklace?"

  She tried to encourage her to bid.

  Helian Jiao initially ignored her, but then, remembering that Gu Siyu favored this delicate pink color, she followed suit.

  "Nine hundred and fifty thousand once, nine hundred and fifty thousand the second time... nine hundred..."

  The other Yin woman, currently the highest bidder, beamed with confidence as the diamond was about to fall into her hands.

  But then the little princess intervened. "One million!"

  The host paused, then beamed brightly, "Guest number one bids one million! One million, the first time!"

  "One million, one and a half million!" The Yin woman calmly continued bidding, but her heart wasn't as calm as she appeared.

  Her estimate was one million and two hundred thousand; anything above that wouldn't be worth it.

  "Two million!" Helian Jiao, no longer bothering to raise her paddle, simply doubled her bid.

  This price was already nearly exceeding the diamond's value. The Yin woman hesitated, then reluctantly gave up.

  The noblewoman sitting next to her fanned herself elegantly. Seeing this, she said coldly, "I didn't expect your Meghan Family to have fallen so far that they couldn't even compete with a Chinese bidder. But you gave up for a mere 1.5 million."

  The Yin Country woman dared not speak out because the noblewoman was a viscountess, richer and more powerful than her family.

  She couldn't afford to offend her!
