Chapter 26: It Will Be Miserable

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

A steady stream of bids rang out. It had to be said that everyone present was rich, including Zheng Zeyi, who was beside Qiao Sisi.

Qiao Sisi retracted her neck. These people were indeed bidding high prices.

“Do you like it?” Zheng Zeyi said suddenly. Qiao Sisi turned around and met his handsome face, which was magnified countless times because of the proximity.

Wasn’t he sitting there just now? she thought.

Qiao Sisi smiled awkwardly and quietly shifted her seat as she replied, “No.”

“Then forget it.”

When she heard this, Qiao Sisi could not help but curse inwardly.?Why? If I like it, would you buy me one??she thought.

I must be indulging in fantasy…

The bidding continued without any intention of stopping.

“1.3 million yuan!”

“I’ll pay 1.5 million yuan!”

…

At this moment, a man sitting silently raised the card in his hand and said, “2 million yuan.”

......

Instantly, the bidding stopped.

2 million yuan was no longer a small sum. Although this glass-type jade bracelet was worth more than that, those who could continue to bid might still wait and see.

Rich,?Qiao Sisi thought.

She sat in the private room and watched with interest as these people shouted their bids.

Just by looking at them, one could get an eyeful. She wanted to see how rich people these days were killing time.

With a faint smile, Lianxin knocked the gavel and said, “This gentleman has bid 2 million yuan. Is there anyone else who wants to continue?”

There was a moment of silence before someone continued to bid.

“I bid 2.3 million yuan.” A woman raised the card in her hand.

“This madam has bid 2.3 million yuan!” Lianxin raised the microphone and her voice echoed through the entire auction hall.

The price continued to rise. Compared to the previous increase, it was even more aggressive now because those who were still bidding sincerely liked this bracelet.

It was hard to stop after a certain point.

The price kept increasing until it reached a high price: 5 million yuan!

The bidder was a man. He had raised the bid once before, but it was quickly superseded by others.

However, 5 million yuan was almost the limit for the bracelet, so the others stopped bidding.

“5 million yuan per session!” Lianxin’s eyes curved into crescents as she smiled and knocked the small gavel in her hand.

“5 million yuan twice!”

“5 million yuan thrice! Congratulations to this gentleman for obtaining the glass-type jade bracelet. Congratulations!” Lianxin waved her hand, and a few staff members closed the black-gold box on the auction table and took it away.

When the auction ended, the staff of the auction house would bring the items to the customers who bidded for them and settle payments.

Seeing this, Qiao Sisi asked curiously, “Zheng Zeyi, what do you think will happen if he can’t pay and cause trouble?”

She thought that the auction house should have a solution for such troublemaking behavior.

When he heard this, Zheng Zeyi’s eyes were smiling. He looked at her and opened his mouth to say three words. “It will be miserable.”

His tone was clearly normal, but for some reason, Qiao Sisi felt a chill down her spine, like a cold wind blowing across her back.

Qiao Sisi could not help but purse her lips. She more or less understood now. In any case, such a troublemaker would end up miserable.

The auction continued.

As a big item was auctioned from the start, the subsequent items did not seem as good as the first glass jade bracelet.

Qiao Sisi leaned against the sofa and observed the auction for a while. After a long time, she did not see any good items and began to lose interest.

She picked up a piece of cake and began digging in with a spoon.

Facing this forceful lady, Zheng Ze’s pupils constricted. His gaze was deep. After a moment, he looked away and turned his attention to the auction stage below.

By now, almost five items had been auctioned. Other than the first item that was too expensive, these were only considered above average.

There was even a piece that no one bid for, as none of the guests liked it.

Lianxin stood on the auction stage as the staff carried another red box up.

Opening the lock, Lianxin said, “Respected guests, this auction item is the same as the first one. They are all extraordinary items. Everyone, please take a look.”

The box was opened. Inside was a bracelet that emitted dazzling rays of light under the refraction of the stage lighting.

Instantly, all the women in the venue were attracted to it.

That included Qiao Sisi.

There were many small diamonds on the bracelet, but they did not look overly glamorous. There were even letters engraved on it, making it look extremely beautiful.

Lianxin had seen this bracelet before, so she was naturally not surprised.

“This bracelet is Master Yalin’s work. Master Yalin rarely designs new pieces now. Even her casual work can fetch a high price. And this bracelet was one of Master Yalin’s creations at her peak. This auction house is lucky to have it.”

Lianxin said unhurriedly. Not only did she introduce the amazing origin of the bracelet, but she also implicitly revealed some of the capabilities of the auction house.

She was very familiar with the workmanship.

In the private room, Qiao Sisi also heard her speech. She frowned and rubbed her chin thoughtfully.

She remembered that the last time she went to the department store with Chen Anna, there was a jewelry store called the Lanxing Pavilion. It had Master Yalin’s work, Tears of the Mermaid.

It seemed that the store was exaggerating. Qiao Sisi retracted her thoughts and stared at the bracelet.

Just like her, the other women in the auction house fell in love with it at a glance.

“This bracelet is called Light Smoke. The starting price is 900 thousand yuan!” Lianxin said.

The starting bid, which was even higher than the glass jade bracelet, did not dampen the women’s enthusiasm. In fact, it even brought out their enthusiasm.

“1 million yuan!”

“1.2 million yuan. Sisters, let me have it!”

“I want it too. 1.6 million yuan!”

…

The price increased rapidly. The corners of Qiao Sisi’s eyes twitched. These women’s combat power was a little too crazy…

“2 million yuan.”

Just as Qiao Sisi was watching these women compete, an indifferent voice sounded. This voice was too familiar. Qiao Sisi turned around almost instantly.

As expected, Zheng Zeyi raised the card in his hand. It said 2 million yuan.

Qiao Sisi was a little stunned. She did not understand why Zheng Zeyi wanted to bid, but she gave some thought to it.

A rich man’s son might have someone important.?Thinking along this line, Qiao Sisi was not surprised.

However, what she did not notice was that the moment she turned around, Zheng Zeyi’s gaze followed her closely.

To the people present, 2 million yuan was considered neither high nor low.
