Chapter 25: Let Me Have It, Everyone

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

I want to see where Zheng Zeyi is taking me, Qiao Sisi thought.

Following Zheng Zeyi, she turned four or five left and right corners. The two of them finally arrived at their destination.

What greeted their eyes was a signboard with the words ‘Jinhang Auction House’ in front of a gorgeous building.

This was… an auction house.

Qiao Sisi reacted and thought of the small jewelry auction that the two people had mentioned previously.

“You’re taking me to the jewelry auction?” Qiao Sisi was almost certain she guessed right.

Zheng Zeyi smiled and looked at her devilishly. “Oh, so you know.”

Under his gaze, Qiao Sisi shivered as if she had been electrocuted.

Demon.

Qiao Sisi could only think of this in her heart. As Yang Yueyue’s cousin, Zheng Zeyi was also vicious.

She had struck a deal with a demon. Qiao Sisi secretly glanced at Zheng Zeyi. She had to admit that this person was indeed good-looking.

The two of them entered the auction house. As soon as they entered, an auction staff came to receive them and said respectfully, “Hello, guests.”

Zheng Zeyi took out a golden card from his suit pocket. On it was written ‘Jinhang Auction’s VIP’. When the staff saw the card, his expression changed and instantly became even more respectful.

“Guests, this way please…” The staff led Zheng Zeyi and Qiao Sisi to a passageway.

After passing through the passage, they arrived at an extremely luxurious private room. The number on the door was Room 01, the No. 1 private room of the auction house.

It was obvious that Zheng Zeyi was well respected in this auction house.

There were refreshments and fruits on a table inside, as well as a small speaker placed beside the sofa.

This is to facilitate bidding, Qiao Sisi thought.

“Guests, this is your private room,” the staff said. After the two of them entered the private room and sat on the leather sofa, he closed the door and left.

Only Qiao Sisi and Zheng Zeyi were left in the huge private room. The atmosphere became awkward.

“Why did you suddenly take me to the auction house?” Qiao Sisi was puzzled.

Zheng Zeyi picked up the exquisite porcelain cup with his slender fingers and sipped the warm tea. He said, “To broaden your horizons.”

Hearing these perfunctory words, the corners of Qiao Sisi’s lips twitched. She did not want to raise any more questions.

This guy would not speak the truth.

The auction had yet to begin. Through the glass window of the private room, one could see that the seats below were already packed. However, most of the guests were quiet.

Qiao Sisi pushed her thoughts away and took an apple from the table. She took a bite. She would know soon what Zheng Zeyi was scheming in his heart. “What’s the hurry?” she thought.

Soon after, the auction officially began.

Through the clear glass window, Qiao Sisi could see the focal point of the lighting on the auction stage. A woman in a white cheongsam walked up.

This was the awe-inspiring auctioneer of the auction house, Lianxin.

When the auctioneer went on stage, many people below widened their eyes. A few men were staring at Lianxin’s voluptuous chest and slender legs.

When Qiao Sisi saw this, she could not help but admire the beauty.

“Feeling inferior?” Zheng Zeyi asked, instantly ruining Qiao Sisi’s mood.

Qiao Sisi rolled her eyes with her back facing Zheng Zeyi. Without looking back, she said, “I’m very confident.”

Zheng Zeyi’s gaze gradually deepened as it landed on Qiao Sisi’s back. She was wearing a simple white shirt, but it looked beautiful on her.

Qiao Sisi, who was focused on the auction stage, had no idea what Zheng Zeyi was doing behind her. She was curious about the auction items.

After Lianxin got on the stage, she held a microphone and her gentle, mellow voice echoed within the auction house.

“Hello, everyone. I’m the auctioneer in charge of this auction, Lianxin.”

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a lot of commotion. It was not that Lianxin did not notice the blatant gazes of those men, but she could not be bothered with them.

Lianxin clapped her hands. A staff member walked up the stage with a black-gold suitcase and placed it on the stage.

“I’m very happy to host this auction for everyone. Now that the auction has officially begun, this is our first auction item,” Lianxin said as she raised the microphone and pointed at the black-golden box.

This action directed everyone’s attention to the box.

What is inside? they wondered.

Qiao Sisi was also puzzled. She knew that it was jewelry, but if it was just ordinary jewelry, the auction house would not go through the trouble of auctioning it. There must be something outstanding about it.

“Kacha.”

Lianxin unlocked the black box and opened it, exposing the contents to the public.

It was a glossy, green bracelet. Even from a distance, Qiao Sisi could sense that this bracelet was not ordinary.

There was a big screen in the private room. After all, the private room was too far from the auction stage, so many items could not be seen clearly.

Qiao Sisi diverted her gaze to the big screen. She could see the jade bracelet.

It lay quietly in the center of the box.

The bracelet was emerald green and even a little transparent. It was extremely eye-catching.

“This is an old crater glass jade bracelet.” Seeing that Qiao Sisi’s face was almost touching the screen, Zheng Zeyi explained kindly.

“Old crater glass?” Qiao Sisi exclaimed.

Although it was shallow, she had some knowledge of the jade stone varieties.

The old crater glass could be said to be the best in quality. Similarly, the price was so high that it made people envious.

With just this bracelet, Qiao Sisi felt that even if she worked her whole life, she might not be able to afford it.

She did not expect the auction house to start with such a precious item. But that was right. The more precious items there were, the more the atmosphere would liven up.

As long as the atmosphere became boisterous, the subsequent bids would be much smoother.

Qiao Sisi’s eyes flickered. She composed herself and looked at Lianxin on the auction stage again.

After Lianxin opened the box, her eyes were calm as she raised the microphone and said, “Everyone, you should be able to guess that this bracelet is not ordinary. That’s right. This is an old crater glass jade bracelet of excellent quality…”

Lianxin went on to describe and recommend the bracelet. At the end of her speech, she added, “This jade bracelet starts at 800 thousand yuan!”

The auction house fell silent for a while.

After a while, the lively biddings started!

Many of the customers could not help raising their tokens to bid for it. It was rare to see such a good quality glass jade bracelet.

“I’ll bid 900 thousand yuan!”

“920 thousand yuan! Let me have it, everyone.”

“I’ll pay a million yuan!”
