Elizabeth Ma's eyes lit up the mont she heard about the bracelet worth five or six million!
"A bracelet? Where is it? Let see!"
Jas Ye was on guard but said, "Mom, the bracelet is in the bedroom, but I plan to return it."
"Return it?" Elizabeth frowned. "Are you out of your mind? Returning sothing worth five or six million?"
Jas replied, "I just did a small favor for soone, and they gave such an expensive gift. It doesn't feel right."
"What's not right about it!" Elizabeth blurted out. "If they dare to give it, we dare to take it! Where's the bracelet? If you don't want it, I do!"
Jas knew his mother-in-law had no good intentions. The bracelet was actually ant for Mary Xiao, but he hadn't found the right mont to give it to her, so he had put it aside for now.
Unexpectedly, his father-in-law had a loose tongue and spilled the beans.
It's not that Jas was reluctant to part with a bracelet worth a few million. After all, he had nearly ten billion in his account; he could buy any bracelet he wanted.
But the key issue was that he felt his mother-in-law didn't deserve such an expensive item. With her shrewish temper and petty mindset, a bracelet worth thirty or forty thousand would be more than enough for her.
However, Elizabeth Ma was not willing to miss this opportunity.
A bracelet worth five or six million would be a great status symbol!
So she kept urging, "Where's the bracelet? Bring it out and let see!"
Mary Xiao also knew that if the bracelet was brought out and ended up in her mother's hands, it would be impossible to get it back.
So she said, "Mom, since we plan to return it, let's not take it out. If it gets scratched or damaged, it would be hard to explain."
"You're really going to return it?" Elizabeth got anxious and stood up, scolding, "Are you out of your minds?"
Mary knew her mother was about to throw a fit, so she firmly said, "Mom, don't say anymore. I've already discussed it with Jas, and that's final."
Elizabeth knew her daughter's temper. If Mary insisted on returning it, she couldn't stop her.
Thinking about returning such a valuable item, Elizabeth's heart ached, and she started crying, "It's bad enough to have a useless son-in-law, but my daughter isn't even on my side. I might as well die!"
Mary put a piece of at on her mother's plate and said, "Alright, Mom, I'll buy you a bracelet in the future."
"You said it!"
...
On the day of the auction.
Jas Ye had just stepped out of his room and into the living room early in the morning when Christopher Xiao, who had been eagerly waiting, excitedly approached him.
"Jas, let's hurry up and go. We don't want to be late."
Knowing he could attend the auction, Christopher hadn't slept well all night and had been waiting for Jas. As soon as he saw Jas, he pulled him along.
The Treasure Pavilion was an association of antique enthusiasts in Jinling, organized by a group of like-minded individuals. Their base was a manor in the scenic outskirts of the city.
The association's president was a prominent figure, rumored to be a real estate tycoon from the province who loved antiques. He had invested a billion yuan and gathered a group of business people who also loved antiques to form the "Treasure Pavilion."
Jas and Christopher arrived at the entrance of the Treasure Pavilion manor, parked the car, and got out to look around.
The surroundings were indeed elegant and tranquil, exuding an air of wealth. All the cars parked outside were luxury vehicles, with the least expensive being a Porsche.
Jas's BMW 5 Series stood out like a sore thumb among the luxury cars.
Christopher got out of the car and eagerly walked towards the entrance.
He was extrely excited as it was his first ti in such a high-end setting. He looked around constantly but was still a bit nervous and restrained.
At the entrance, Christopher nervously presented the invitation.
He was sowhat worried that the two invitations Jas had obtained might be fake.
However, the security at the door imdiately verified them and respectfully said, "Gentlen, please co in!"
Christopher finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked in with Jas.
As soon as they entered the venue, Robert Xiao, dressed to the nines, swaggered in right behind them.
The mont he walked in, Robert frowned, his face showing a flash of shock.
Jas Ye and Christopher Xiao were here too!
What were these two losers doing here? The Xiao family only had one invitation, and it was in his hands. Could these two have sneaked in?
Rembering the losses he had suffered at Jas's hands before, Robert angrily strode forward and shouted, "Jas, how did you get in here? Do you know what this place is?"
Jas frowned upon hearing Robert's shrill voice.
Christopher saw Robert and smiled smugly, "Oh, Robert, you're here too."
Robert not only looked down on Jas but also on his second uncle, Christopher. He frowned and asked, "What are you two doing here? Do you have an invitation?"
"Of course!" Christopher blurted out.
Robert pressed aggressively, "How could you two get an invitation? Where did you get it?"
Jas glanced at him and said calmly, "Robert Xiao, where we got our invitation is none of your business."
Robert sneered, "You two losers couldn't possibly get an invitation from the Song family. I bet you stole soone else's invitation to sneak in!"
"You're crazy." Jas couldn't be bothered with him and turned his head away, saying nothing.
Jas's dismissive attitude made Robert even angrier.
In his eyes, Jas was a worthless coward with no status in the Xiao family, a lower-class person!
And now, Jas was here at the Treasure Pavilion, which Robert found humiliating!
A lower-class gigolo standing alongside him? Unacceptable.
Robert glared at Jas and pointed at his nose, "Tell , how did you two sneak in?"
Jas frowned and said to Christopher, "Dad, let's not waste ti with this idiot. Let's go."
"Stop right there!"
Robert stepped forward, deliberately blocking their way, and sneered provocatively, "Trying to run? Feeling guilty, huh? You must have used so underhanded ans to get in here! You don't belong in a place like this! Show your invitation!"
Jas was also angry now. Even though he had been patient, he couldn't let Robert provoke him repeatedly.
He coldly said, "You want to see my invitation? You're not worthy! Get lost!"
Robert's eyebrows furrowed, and a surge of anger rushed to his head.
In his eyes, Jas had always been a cowardly loser, yet now he dared to tell him to get lost!
Robert reached out to grab Jas's arm and sneered, "You're not leaving until you explain yourself."
