Chapter 299: The Highest Bidder
At this mont, Qiao Xi spoke out in reminder, “Isn’t 8 million enough?”
The auctioneer nodded hurriedly. “8, 8 million. Yes, yes! Miss Qiao is offering 8 million. Is there a higher bid?”
A few passers-by who were mocking Qiao Xi for not spending money just earlier imdiately lowered their heads with awkward expressions.
No way? Didn’t Miss Yao say that Qiao Xi had no money at all? Why would she fork out 8 million to buy a jade pendant?
Although this jade pendant was not cheap, it was at most 3 million. 8 million was a sky-high price.
Had Qiao Xi gone mad? Was she mistaken to spend so much money?
Yao ngqing’s face was livid. Her nails dug into her palms.
Looking at the current situation, Yao ngqi shouted angrily, “Qiao Xi! You did it on purpose, right?! My sister has already offered 5 million yuan! Why are you still fighting for it?”
“I’m also doing this for the sake of those sick children.” Qiao Xi smiled indifferently and continued, “Actually, it doesn’t matter how much money I spend. For the sake of treating the children, so what if I spend a little money? The highest bidder will obtain the item being auctioned. Could it be that I can’t bid for what your sister has taken a liking to?”
“You…” Yao ngqi’s face instantly turned red.
Qiao Xi’s words actually caused her to be unable to retort, but Qiao Xi was clearly pretending. She even said that she did it for the sake of the sick children.
Yao ngqing’s eyes were vicious. When she looked up again, she revealed a gentle smile. “It’s okay. If Xi Xi wants it, I’ll give it to her.”
The auctioneer slamd the gavel, and everyone could not help but look at Qiao Xi.
Most of them only brought 5 million yuan with them when they attended the auction. They only wanted to bid for a few small items, but Qiao Xi spent 8 million yuan on a jade pendant!
That was money!
It would seem that Qiao Xi was not as selfish as Young Master Lin had said?
“Miss Qiao is quite generous. Young Master Lin even said that she wouldn’t donate. He must have misunderstood her.”
“She just spent 8 million yuan. She’s definitely not a greedy and selfish woman. We were wrong this ti.”
“It’s all because of Yao ngqing. She slandered Qiao Xi’s reputation together with Lin Jie. Qiao Xi doesn’t lack money at all. Not just anyone can fork out 8 million!”
Yao ngqi heard the discussion around her and stomped her feet in anger.
“Sister, don’t be angry. Qiao Xi’s lilight is temporary. She’ll only be able to bid on this one item. Moreover, it’s uncertain if she can even fork out the 8 million!”
Yao ngqing smiled with difficulty. “Xi Xi is doing this for those poor children. Xi Xi, thank you. Your donation will be greatly appreciated.”
The next second, the auctioneer took out the next item.
Yao ngqi imdiately broke into a smile. “Sister, Qiao Xi will definitely not have any money left so you can bid for this.”
The auctioneer said, “This is a 10-carat diamond necklace from South Africa. Rumor has it that this is the work of the jewelry master, Ella. It represents unwavering love. I believe all the ladies here will like it very much.”
Everyone’s eyes lit up when they heard that. A few noblewon imdiately begged the man beside them to raise the placard.
Although 10-carat diamonds were not considered rare, this necklace was embedded with many precious gems. Under the illumination of the lights, it was dazzling and shot out five colors.
Soone had once estimated that this diamond necklace was worth about 10 million yuan.
Such things were worth collecting. It was worth it even if it was 15 million.
Yao ngqing was not in a rush to raise her placard. She only started raising the price in the end. The price soon soared to 15 million.
She could not help but glance at Qiao Xi. The other party had her head lowered as if she was not interested in this.
Yao ngqing’s expression softened. Fortunately, Qiao Xi was not bidding for this.
“Sister, I knew that she could only fork out 8 million yuan. She doesn’t have the money to buy anything else. She didn’t even raise her placard for this necklace. She must be broke!”
Yao ngqi’s voice was heard by everyone. Her tone was very arrogant.
Yao ngqing advised her gently, “Qi Qi, you can’t say that. Perhaps Xi Xi doesn’t like diamonds?”
Yao ngqi retorted, “Which woman doesn’t like diamonds? I think she just doesn’t have any money! Didn’t she say she wanted to donate? If she has the ability, she should continue raising the price!
“So people are just good at talking but in reality, they can only afford to spend 8 million yuan..”
