Chapter 798 - Frozen
Chapter 798: Frozen
The crowd broke into another wave of frantic discussion.
Picked up some scraps!
She picked up 13 pieces of scrap from the same place. This… sounded rather unrealistic, did it not?
Those who knew Ling Pinyuan looked at her with sparkling eyes. Some of them even said that they would try their luck at Soaring Clouds Pavilion after the auction ended.
Ling Pinyuan’s tears dried up that she could not cry even if she wanted to.
So, did it mean that after losing 13 pieces of jade, she earned a fresh batch of customers?
As the auction came to an end, other than the waxy jade, ice waxy jade, ice jade, and premium icy hade, there was also an old deposit transparent type jade. The guests were all in an uproar.
The auction became more and more intense. As the quality of the jade increased, the competition became more intense.
Ling Pinyuan, on the other hand, became colder the longer the auction went on. Coldness went from her scalp to her internal organs and to her heart.
She felt like she was about to be frozen.
She was glad that her grandfather was sick and did not attend the auction.
At the same time, she knew what end she would meet after the auction.
She had brought dishonor to the Ling family name!
She was afraid that the Ling family would not tolerate her anymore.
At this moment, Ling Pinyuan finally felt true regret.
In the face of Zhong Nuannuan, who was such a strong opponent, Ling Pinyuan had accepted utter defeat.
It was only now that she realized how horrible her previous thoughts were.
Previously, she thought that Zhong Nuannuan did not come from a good family and was a weak woman. These made her a terrible match for Chi Yang. Therefore, she did not care if the two of them were in love with each other and wanted to destroy their relationship.
However, if she had known Zhong Nuannuan’s identity from the start, even if Zhong Nuannuan was still a weak woman, Ling Pinyuan would not have dared to get between them.
To put it bluntly, even if she hated to admit it before, she could not deny that she was a bully.
Who knew that the weak personality she thought she could provoke was actually just the tip of the iceberg?
Zhong Nuannuan’s strength was not on the same channel as hers.
That was why Ling Pinyuan was left with no complaints even though she offered in Zhong Nuannuan’s hands.
Not to mention that she was the one who forced Zhong Nuannuan to sign the contract. Even if there was no contract and the items ended up being in Zhong Nuannuan’s possession, the Ling family would not dare to let her spit out what she took just because of her status.
Therefore, the Ling family could only admit that they were unlucky.
Come to think of it, the Ling family had gotten lucky this time to come across a batch of excellent raw stones. Even if Zhong Nuannuan had not bought these raw stones that contained jade, there would be other buyers who would buy them.
Therefore, every time she thought about it, Ling Pinyuan felt relieved.
So be it.
At most, she would be chased out of the Ling family.
Thankfully, she still had the military base.
The military base could be considered her second home.
After the 13 items were sold, the last item was Moonlight, which was worth 106 million.
As this item had been bought off an auction by Aiden to give it to Zhong Nuannuan, and since Zhong Nuannuan had auctioned it off again, it definitely could not be auctioned off at the original price. However, the price could not be too low either. Thus, the starting price was at 80 million.
To be honest, this was not considered cheap even for second-tier wealthy families.
However, because it was made with supreme-grade emerald jade, most of the wealthy families in Gang District participated in the auction back then. Moreover, there were very few foreigners who wore necklaces like this. Therefore, Aiden set the auction price of 106 million for the necklace which was not disproportionately expensive after all.
Soon, the price of 80 million increased to 100 million through bids. After 100 million, the bidding speed slowed down significantly, and it slowly passed 110 million.
“130 million.” Finally, Elder Wu from the Wu family of Sea District spoke.
