190 Creating A Scandal
So far, everything was going according to her plan. As long as Jing Yan walked into her trap step by step, she would not have to worry about not being able to get through this difficult time. As long as she unfroze the koi system, there would be a lot more things she could do.
“20 million.” Jing Yan was the first person to bid, but he directly doubled the price, which made the people who were looking forward to it dumbfounded.
This was the first time they had seen someone bid like this. It was really simple and brutal.
However, the people who could come here to spend were either rich or noble. A mere twenty million was not their limit. Soon, someone continued to bid, “Twenty-one million.”
“25 million.” A slightly proud male voice interrupted. The bid was higher than the previous one, and he was determined to get the treasure.
His hopes were destined to be dashed, because as soon as he finished speaking, Jing Yan raised his board again and said in an extremely cold voice, “30 million.”
No matter how wealthy the people around them were, they could not help but gasp.
Although this diamond was valuable, it was far from worth 30 million. People who could bid at this price almost never thought of giving others room to bid.
The atmosphere in the auction hall froze for a moment. The host knocked the hammer once, and someone raised his sign with a weak voice. “31 million.”
It was the man who had a smug look on his face just now. So many people present had seen his imposing manner just now. If he gave up just like that, he would really lose face. He could only brace himself and raise the price, secretly hoping that the person would stop here.
Jing Yan did not even frown. He raised his board, and under everyone’s gaze, he did not let them down. He spat out another shocking number, “40 million.”
‘I’ve reached my limit.’ The man lowered his head with a red face. His fingers holding the sign were slightly purple, but he no longer had the strength to continue bidding.
After the host bid three times, he gave the final word. Soon, a staff member brought the wrapped diamonds over respectfully.
Jing Yan put the box into his pocket and walked out with disinterest.
He Wei was secretly delighted. This was a great opportunity for her.
She reacted quickly and smiled at Jing Yan before he passed by her. Then, she got up and followed him gracefully, as if Jing Yan had asked her to go out on purpose.
The reporters could not help but grab their cameras and snap wildly, all wanting to be the first to announce this shocking news to the public.
He Wei, the new flower, who had just lost her public image, had a close relationship with Jing Yan, the current leader of the Jing family. Jing Yan even spent 40 million to buy the diamond for her. Good news was coming!
The news on the internet spread like wildfire. Coupled with the pictures of the two people leaving one after another, it immediately caused a heated discussion among netizens.
He Wei followed Jing Yan out of the auction venue. Before the reporters could catch up, she quickened her pace and blocked his way. “Jing Yan, didn’t we agree to go to the lounge?”
“Who told you that?” Jing Yan’s lips curled into a sarcastic smile. He walked around her in disgust and wanted to leave.
He Wei, who was behind him, said, “What happened last time was really a misunderstanding. I just accidentally said that He Miao wasn’t my biological sister. I didn’t expect that someone would use it to create rumors. I really want to say sorry to Miaomiao.”
Jing Yan stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at her coldly. “He Wei, don’t treat people like idiots. Stay away from He Miao.”
By the time the media caught up with them, Jing Yan and He Wei had already left the hotel floor where the auction was held. She got into a car that was waiting for her nearby. When Chong Wei saw her, he immediately shouted excitedly, “Wei Wei, you’re amazing! Now, your fans are back!”
The Jing family was very influential. He Wei was able to get close to him and the netizens were guessing that she would come back. Many fans had regained their hope and started to pay attention to her again.
Although He Wei’s character was exposed, beauty could sometimes make people temporarily forget their values. Besides, things in the entertainment industry were too complicated. It was hard to tell who was right and who was wrong. As long as these fans were slightly influenced by others, they would immediately lean back to He Wei.
In the laboratory, He Miao was busy with work when his phone suddenly rang. She frowned slightly when she saw the unfamiliar number and decided to ignore it.
This was a critical stage of the experiment, and she did not want to be distracted.
Her attention was only diverted for a moment, and she quickly focused back. Just as she was about to take the last step, someone suddenly knocked on the classroom door.
He Miao frowned as she looked at the time. She felt that this person did not look like Jing Yan, so she said indifferently, “Come in.”
The door of the laboratory was pushed open from the outside, and a gust of cold wind blew in. He Miao could not help but curl up and shiver.
The fragrance in her nose had dissipated a little, and it was almost unrecognizable with the cold wind.
During the process of making spices, she hated to be disturbed. She needed to pay attention to the amount of each ingredient at all times, and her nose had to carefully distinguish the smell changes.
Now that she was disturbed, she could only helplessly stop what she was doing and look up. She was shocked by the man’s gloomy face.
