Wei Yong glanced at the diamond earrings on stage and then at Shen Hanxing. “Does this pair of earrings belong to the same set of jewelry you’re wearing right now, Ms. Shen?”

“I got the news a little late, so I didn’t have time to prepare anything,” Shen Hanxing smiled and said, “It’s for charity. At most, I can buy it back later.” She didn’t lower her voice, the people around her could hear that she was determined to get the earrings.

Ji Mei and the others in the back row had different expressions. Their gazes fell on the pair of earrings. The venue was silent for a moment and no one bid for it.

This was when a woman’s voice with a hint of arrogance voiced out, “11,000.”

Instantly, the entire venue was in an uproar!

Ji Mei’s expression changed drastically. She pulled Cheng Liu who was beside her fiercely and reprimanded her in a low voice, “What are you doing?!” In an auction like this, it was not only for charity purposes, it was also a display of one’s worth. 11,000 dollars. The first bid was not even worth the original price of the pair of earrings. This was not a bid, but a humiliation.

“I did that because I didn’t see anyone bidding,” Cheng Liu’s eyes flashed with malice. However, she put on an innocent smile and said, “I was afraid that cousin-in-law would be embarrassed. Was it wrong for me to take the initiative to bid? It’s just that I don’t have much money and can’t bid too high a price. Cousin-in-law wouldn’t mind, right?”

Shen Hanxing didn’t even turn her head. She only faintly replied, “Of course, I don’t mind.”

A smug look flashed across Cheng Liu’s eyes.

“Children’s attitudes mostly come from how their parents educate them,” Shen Hanxing raised her eyes and looked at the stage. She slowly said, “As the older one, of course, I won’t be calculative with the younger generation. But Auntie, there’s no free lunch in this world. If you want my trust, you should show some sincerity, right?”

After saying that, she tilted her head. Her perfect side profile looked especially expressive under the dim light. “I just really like these diamond earrings. I shan’t say anything else.” Picking a fight with Cheng Liu would be too demeaning. It was only right for one to seek compensation from the kid’s parents because of the trouble their kid was causing, wasn’t it?

Ji Mei’s expression changed drastically, and she clenched her teeth.

Cheng Songyang’s eyes were deep and dark. He coldly glanced at his silly sister who was still feeling smug. His expression revealed a hint of viciousness.

At this moment, another female voice suddenly rang out. “Twelve thousand!” Bai Youyou did not hide her hostility at all, and she looked over provocatively.

If the bidding was going to continue increasing incrementally like this, no matter how much the final price of the pair of earrings was, Shen Hanxing was destined to be ridiculed for sending in such a cheap item.

“One million!” Ji Yan’s face darkened, and there was a hint of danger in his unfathomable eyes. He did not hesitate to raise his hand to bid, and his bidding price was a hundred times higher.

Bai Youyou, who was still feeling proud earlier, suddenly turned pale. She was jealous and sad. She looked at Ji Yan’s back with tears in her eyes. The beauty’s love was as deep as the ocean, and her beautiful appearance as she cried was captivating. Unfortunately, Ji Yan was as cold as a stone. He didn’t even spare her a glance.

“1.5 million,” Wei Yong raised his hand and made a bid. He raised a polite smile and said to Ji Yan, “CEO Ji, I’m sorry. Since this pair of earrings is Ms. Shen’s favorite, then I would like to borrow this pair of earrings to win Ms. Shen’s favor. So I’ll be buying this for Ms. Shen.”

Zhuang Li watched the scene coldly from the side. He suddenly said, “Two million.”

His action surprised Shen Hanxing, who had always been calm. She could not help but look at him. She remembered that she did not hit him too hard earlier… There should not be anything wrong with him, right?

The intense discomfort that Zhuang Li had been ignoring finally eased after sensing Shen Hanxing’s gaze. He snorted coldly. Didn’t this woman want this pair of earrings? He was going to make sure she didn’t get them!

“What are you messing around for?” Zhuang Hengyu frowned.

“I just feel like it!” Zhuang Li frowned impatiently. “I felt like bidding for it, so I did. Is there anything wrong with bidding in an auction?”

Shen Hanxing retracted her gaze. She didn’t know what Zhuang Li was thinking, so she simply stopped wondering about it.

“Three million.” Cheng Songyang raised the sign.

Cheng Liu could not help but exclaim, “Brother, are you crazy?! Three million to buy the jewelry that this woman wore?”

Her brother was crazy. But more importantly, Cheng Songyang’s action was tantamount to slapping Cheng Liu’s face in public!

“Shut up!” Cheng Songyang gritted his teeth. There was a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold. “From now on, I don’t want to hear your voice anymore.”

Cheng Liu’s body trembled a little. She pursed her lips and did not dare to speak again.

Ji Mei felt a little sorry for her daughter. Ji Mei then complained, “Songyang, let’s forget about this bid. Don’t raise the price any further.”
