Chapter 1958: Jewelry Belonging to an Old Friend

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Qiao Mei was already on the way out with everyone else, but then she spotted two to three very exquisite pieces of jewelry on the tray. The design and style made them look like jewelry from her home country and those pieces seemed to look quite similar to her brooch. Could it be that they were from the same set of jewelry?

Qiao Mei was not the only one who became interested in the jewelry on the tray. Two other people in the crowd were also attracted by the jewelry on the tray.

“Can I go forward and take a closer look?” Qiao Mei quickly raised her sign and asked.

“Yes! Of course!” the auctioneer said excitedly.

All the businessmen and rich ladies below the stage looked at Qiao Mei in disdain. They thought of her as a nouveau riche who did not know anything. The items on the tray were not even half as valuable as those small items put up at the warmup session of the auction!

Qiao Mei pretended not to hear the conversations in the surroundings and only focused on the jewelry in front of her. On the tray, she spotted a family tree necklace as well as a ring shaped like a young plant shoot and inlaid with emeralds. These two pieces bore the same workmanship as the brooch in her house! There was a high chance that they were from the same jewelry set!

“Miss A03, these items really suit you a lot! Your skin is even fairer than snow. You’ll look so beautiful if you wear these jewelry!” The auctioneer kept praising her with all his might.

Before the auction began, the owner of these jewelry had begged the auctioneer to sing praises of his treasures. These were items which could save lives! The higher the selling price, the better! His family needed money urgently!

Qiao Mei pointed at the family tree necklace and said to the auctioneer, “Can you flip it for me? I want to see the design at the back.”

The auctioneer was stunned for a moment before he flipped the family tree necklace with a smile. Ever since Qiao Mei entered the venue, the other people had not stopped talking about her. The auctioneer had memorized the name and seat of every VIP and he was filled with curiosity about Qiao Mei, who was at the auction house for the first time. He did not expect Qiao Mei to be so knowledgeable, unlike what they said.

Occasionally, there would be VIPs who wanted to view the auction items up close before bidding for them. Some VIPs would simply pick up the items to inspect them and subsequently caused damage. Under such circumstances, they would have to compensate the auction house.

Qiao Mei could see that there was a small word engraved on the back of the necklace. It was clearly the word “Gao”, but in cursive form. People who did not know calligraphy would not be able to decipher this word. Qiao Mei then asked the auctioneer to turn the ring around for her to take a look. Just like the necklace, the word “Gao” was engraved on the inside.

These two pieces of jewelry had exactly the same word as the one on the back of Qiao Mei’s brooch. These three pieces must be a set!

“l offer 30,000 dollars,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.

“Wait a minute!” An old man with a head full of white hair raised his hand and said, “Can I come forward and take a look?”

“Oh my, I didn’t expect Old Mr. Zhang to be here today! Of course you can!” the auctioneer said excitedly.

Old Mr. Zhang was a wealthy businessman in Sky City and was known as “the most talented businessman”. There was no one richer than him in Sky City.

Usually, Old Mr. Zhangs secretary would attend the auctions on his behalf. The auctioneer did not expect Old Mr. Zhang to personally come to the auction house this time round. It was really an honor for them!

Old Mr. Zhang walked slowly to the front of the stage and Qiao Mei made way for him. Old Mr. Zhang was old and his eyesight was a little blurry. After he put on his glasses and looked at the jewelry in front of him, he picked up the family tree necklace excitedly.

“That’s strange… Why did Old Mr. Zhang break the rules?”

“That’s right. What’s so charming about this thing? It can actually make Old Mr. Zhang go forward to take a look at it.”

“l want to go and take a look too! Do you think I should bid for it later?” “How dare you snatch it from Old Mr. Zhang. Do you still want to stay in Sky City!”

Everyone was curious about the kind of treasure which had attracted Old Mr. Zhang so much. The auctioneer immediately said, “Old Mr. Zhang, based on the rules, you can’t touch the necklace.”

“Oh, oh! I’m so sorry… I lose my composure the moment I see my old friend’s belongings. I’m sorry, I want these jewelry! I offer 50,000 dollars!” Old Mr. Zhang said excitedly.

An old friend’s belongings? Could it be that this person was also related to Grandmother?

“I offer 70,000!” Qiao Mei said quickly.

Old Mr. Zhang glanced sideways at Qiao Mei. He was familiar with all the members of the prominent families in Sky City, but Qiao Mei was someone he had never seen before and he could not even find any information about her. Now that he looked at her carefully, she seemed to look a little familiar..
