Chapter 262 - Bidding
On the auction platform, the appearance of the emerald necklace had caused a commotion among the people below.
Lin Sitong's face became a little blank for a moment: "This is … "What's wrong?"
"Gu Zhirou? Is it that Gu Zhirou? "
"Who else but her?"
"Didn't she say before that … Why are you participating in these activities again? "
"I heard that she had an adopted daughter who had returned home? This time, it was also her adopted daughter who came. "
While talking, the topic somehow changed to Lin Sitong. Everyone's gaze turned towards Lin Sitong.
"Is that the adopted daughter of Gu Zhirou?"
"The person beside her …" the young master of the Pei Family?! "
"Does the Gu family and the Pei Family have plans on marriage?"
Lin Sitong, "..."
Lin Sitong's elegant little face was stiff as she stared straight ahead, just that, only she herself knew what she was looking at.
"Marriage …" Pei Qingheng chuckled beside Lin Sitong's ear, "It seems to be a pretty good idea as well."
Heh, heh! She didn't feel it at all!
Lin Sitong deeply felt that the man beside him could not be provoked. No matter if it was inside or outside the hospital, as long as he was with the man, he would be the one unavoidably talked about and gifted a few sharp eyes with small knives.
"A wild chicken that ascended to a branch actually thinks of itself as a phoenix?"
Amongst the many discussions, a sharp female voice was particularly conspicuous.
Lin Sitong raised her eyebrows slightly, her gaze following the direction of the female voice and saw a woman whose eyes were filled with provocation. The pair of European eyes that didn't seem to have been cut successfully seemed as if they were about to pop out of their sockets. Suddenly, the lady's expression changed, she acted gentle and bashful as she pulled up her hair, and glanced at Lin Sitong behind her, seemingly unintentionally raising her proud bosom.
Pei Qingheng's eyes revealed a trace of impatience and annoyance.
Lin Sitong silently shivered as she muttered: "These eyes … Is this a medical accident? "
"What?" Pei Qingheng seemed to not have clearly heard what Lin Sitong had just said, as he slightly raised his eyebrows and moved closer to Lin Sitong.
Lin Sitong saw the jealous expression on the woman's face.
The corner of Lin Sitong's mouth raised upwards, and intentionally leaned towards Pei Qingheng. Looking at the woman's stiff look of jealousy and hatred on her face, she whispered into his ear: "I'm thinking … Is it not a medical accident that her eyelids have been cut so far? "
Pei Qingheng raised his eyelashes in interest, and looked towards the lady again, his extremely handsome face revealing a faint smile.
The woman's expression changed from jealousy to obsession.
Lin Sitong retracted her gaze, and shrugged her shoulders: "This absolute art, I probably learned how to change my appearance before right?"
Pei Qingheng chuckled, but before he could say anything, the host's voice sounded: "The auction begins!"
"3 million!"
"3.5 million!"
"Madam Lu from Spence Entertainment Limited has offered 3.5 million!" The host excitedly asked, "Who else wants to bid?"
"The price is that high?" Lin Sitong was speechless.
She was originally going to sell the necklace back to Aunt Gu, but she didn't know if he would like it …
"You like it?" Pei Qingheng lowered his head and asked Lin Sitong.
Lin Sitong shook her head and said softly: "I'm just looking at how Aunt Gu usually seems to like this necklace. I was wondering if I could bid for it and give it to her after I've bought it. "However …"
Lin Sitong's words paused for a while, and her face revealed a heartbroken expression: "Why would a necklace be auctioned for such a high price!"
When he came here earlier, Aunt Gu did give him a card and told him to take a look at it. But... Firstly, she didn't really want to use the money from this card, and secondly … This necklace was something he wanted to give to Aunt Gu anyway, so he took out the Aunt Gu's money to buy it before giving it to him … Isn't there something wrong with that!?
"Tsk, petty!" The sharp female voice from before sounded again.
Lin Sitong was too lazy to bother with her, she didn't even want to look at her this time.
"4 million!" The shrill female voice called out a price.
Lin Sitong was startled, she raised her head and looked at the lady, exactly seeing the woman's complacent expression, her eyes full of provocation, she was slowly putting down the plate in her hand.
Lin Sitong could not help but frown.
"Miss Wang of Zirun Co. Ltd called out a price of 4 million! Is there anyone else who would like to make a bid? "
Lin Sitong's eyes turned slightly as her mouth revealed a sly smile. She raised the plate in her hand: "5 million!"
Just as Lin Sitong finished speaking, before she could even put down the plate in her hands, the masked woman called Miss Wang suddenly raised her hand with lightning speed: "5.5 million!"
Lin Sitong's face revealed a struggling and hesitating expression. With a resentful expression in her eyes, she looked angrily at the masked woman.
The masked woman looked at Lin Sitong proudly, her face filled with provocation.
Lin Sitong could not help but clench her teeth, the struggle on her face becoming more and more obvious.
"Without that diamond, don't take on that porcelain!" The woman said in a weird tone.
Lin Sitong's face immediately flushed red. Without thinking, she raised the plate in her hand and shouted, "6 million!"
"6.5 million!" The masked woman raised her hand again, following Lin Sitong's lead.
"6.8 million!" Lin Sitong clenched her teeth and called out the price.
"7 million!"
With the new round of bids, the crowd below was getting more and more rowdy.
This piece of jade was indeed quite good, but it was not to the extent of calling out such a price!
Everyone's attention was on the two bidders.
"11 million!"
The woman proudly put down the plate in her hands.
Everyone was still waiting for the next round of bids, but there was a moment of silence.
"11 million going once!" "11 million times …"
Lin Sitong's face revealed a struggling expression, but her heart was already laughing until it was about to twitch.
Just then, a clear voice sounded beside Lin Sitong's ears: "2 million!"
The little person who was laughing maniacally in Lin Sitong's heart immediately acted like someone had pressed a button that had been stopped. The expression on her face froze, and he looked towards Pei Qingheng, who was beside her, with a look of disbelief.
Sensing Lin Sitong's gaze, Pei Qingheng drooped her head, her deep amber eyes looked at Lin Sitong, filled with deep emotion.
