Let’s Divorce As Agreed-Chapter 1029 - 1028 Stupid Behavior
Chapter 1029: Chapter 1028 Stupid Behavior
This chapter is updated by freēwēbnovel.com.
Shen Yue was somewhat taken aback. Why had Gu Huanhuan stopped bidding? What was the situation now? Didn’t she like it a lot?
At first, she was very fond of it, but in the end, she was merely venting her anger on Gu Huanhuan. However, she hadn’t expected it to go up to 20 million yuan.
That figure was far beyond her budget. The ultimatum from her father was at most around 10 million yuan. She suddenly felt a cold sweat on her back. Despite the temperature inside being fairly warm, she felt goosebumps covering her skin.
Shen Yue began to panic, her face turning somewhat pale.
“Shen Yue, what’s wrong?” Song Ying tugged on her.
“Oh, it’s nothing.” Shen Yue forced a smile.
...
“Are you too excited? This pair of bracelets can now become a family heirloom,” teased Song Ying.
Shen Yue’s smile was filled with helplessness.
With the final hammer strike, there was no going back now, or else she would become the laughingstock of the upper class.
Shen Yue could only brace herself and stand up to accept everyone’s congratulations.
But why hadn’t Gu Huanhuan continued to bid? Didn’t she also like it very much? She noticed that Gu Huanhuan’s eyes had been fixated earlier, as if she couldn’t wait to clinch the bracelets for herself.
She couldn’t help but glance in the direction of Gu Huanhuan, who was talking to a woman next to her, all smiles. In Shen Yue’s eyes, it looked extremely irritating, as if mocking her stupidity. In an instant, anger surged in her heart.
She pursed her lips and then calmed down. She would certainly find an opportunity to settle this score.
She sat down, but her mind was still preoccupied with the matter of the 20 million yuan.
Although Gu Huanhuan hadn’t won the jewelry she desired, seeing Shen Yue’s face dark as a pot bottom made her mood quite happy.
20 million yuan for a pair of bracelets, even with slight flaws, Gu Huanhuan sighed to herself. When doing charity, one should not be too calculating.
Since Shen Yue liked them, she might as well let her have them.
The auction continued, with items being bid at prices ranging from tens of millions to hundreds of thousands. These were donated by celebrities from various fields or their companions and were also bought by others in attendance.
None of these sparked the interest of Shu Pan and the others. It was only when Old Master Zhou’s collection appeared again that they became attentive.
A platinum necklace inlaid with white diamonds, adorned with eight rubies, each cut into a pear shape, the largest ruby in the center weighed 20.3 carats, dazzling everyone with its lustrous beauty, capturing the attention of many ladies present.
“Panpan, do you like it?” Gu Shaoting whispered in her ear.
“I do, it’s so exquisite, I’m almost at a loss for words,” Shu Pan said while fixated on the screen.
If she remembered correctly, Shu Pan seemed to lack a ruby.
The auctioneer was energetically describing the ruby necklace. As soon as his speech ended,
Gu Shaoting immediately raised his bid to 30 million yuan.
Seeing it was Gu Shaoting, everyone put down their paddles, knowing they couldn’t compete with Mr. Gu’s deep pockets. If he set his mind on something, he was sure to get it.
That was the plain truth, not an exaggeration.
The financial liquidity of Gu Shaoting’s Gu Group was well known.
The ruby necklace on stage was quickly won by the Gu Family for 30 million yuan.
Gu Shaoting had bought it to give to his wife, Shu Pan, naturally attracting many envious glances.
Men willing to buy jewelry for their wives or girlfriends are considered good men.
The emerald ring auctioned next was no less significant, featuring a top-quality imperial green pendant, which eventually ended up in Gu Huanhuan’s possession.
In any case, the auction could be described as leaving everyone content.
The charity gala was a place to spend money. Those who didn’t participate in the bidding would donate items to the auction, worried about being seen as not generous enough.
