Chapter 848 - 845: A Symbol of Status and Identity

Chapter 848: Chapter 845: A Symbol of Status and Identity

Bai Jingjing was becoming increasingly pleased. The more foolish acts he performed, the quicker Gu Tingyun would tire of him.

"The third auction item is Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain, an artifact from the most mature period of domestic manufacturing techniques. Since the Yuan Dynasty was relatively short-lived, the production was extremely limited, making this porcelain even more precious. The bidding starts at 800,000! Each bid increment is 50,000, please place your bids."

"Congratulations to client number 1 for obtaining the Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain!"

"..."

Wherever Helian Qiao saw something she liked at the auction, she just bought it—it could always be given to family members. Jewelry for the female relatives, antiques and paintings for the old man!

Everyone was shocked!

Just a rough estimate, and she had already spent several million!

And Gu Tingyun did nothing to stop her?

The auction continued.

The staff member stood on the platform, holding a box and lifting the red cloth to reveal a massive blue diamond necklace that stunned everyone present.

Most of them recognized this diamond!

They hadn’t expected that today’s auction would feature this as the final item.

This diamond was exceptionally rare, virtually priceless. It had last appeared over a hundred years ago!

The atmosphere had reached its climax.

"The tenth auction item, known as ’The Hope Diamond,’ also called the ’King of Diamonds,’ weighs 45.52 carats, has an extremely rare deep blue color, and was first seen in 1909. Some even call it the ’Diamond of Misfortune.’ Its beauty, like that of a mermaid from the depths of the sea, tempts everyone who sees it to possess it, to own it!" said the host with an enticing voice.

"Comparable to the Heart of the Deep Sea, bidding starts at 5 million! Each bid increment is 200,000, please place your bids!"

The King of Diamonds!

This diamond could drive every woman crazy with desire to participate in the bidding, including the previous Viscountess, "5.6 million!"

Even Bai Jingjing shifted her focus from Helian Qiao and raised her board for the first time, saying "5.8 million!"

"6 million!" followed Bai Weiyin raising her board.

This type of diamond represented not just wealth but also status and prestige; everyone was willing to stretch their budgets.

But that did not include the Little Princess, who already owned countless gems and diamonds and didn’t care for one that was ordinary.

"6.6 million!"

As the bidding price climbed, people gradually began to drop out.

Yet the speed of the bids remained high!

"8 million!"

When the price reached 8 million, Bai Jingjing could only sullenly stop; even the combined private funds of her and her mother were just under 10 million.

She glanced at Helian Qiao, who was eating fruit, and cunningly incited, "Miss Chen, this is the King of Diamonds, only the most prestigious women can own it. Don’t you desire it even a little? But then again, the price is indeed too high, having reached 8 million."

With her words, she deliberately provoked Helian Qiao.

But the Little Princess was utterly unmoved, not even glancing at her, continuing to eat her watermelon.

"10 million!"

"11 million!" declared the Viscountess raising her board.

Another person followed with, "11.2 million!"

"That’s He Junlin’s mother, Madam He," whispered Bai Weiyin.

By then, only two were left in the competition for the bidding.

"13.8 million!" the Viscountess again raised her board and shouted.

Madam He pondered for a moment, hesitating repeatedly. Her hand rose but then fell again, and ultimately, she did not place a bid and exited the bidding.
