Chapter 175 The Sapphire Necklace Makes its Appearance
Yu Zishu is temporarily unable to participate in the subsequent auction because she has not provided the relevant proof.
The matter concerning Yu Zishu did not affect the progress of the auction.
A sapphire necklace appeared on the auction stage.
It exudes a cool and captivating luster under the light, and is placed in a crystal-clear display box.
The auctioneer cleared his throat and began his presentation.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this sapphire necklace features a 30-carat top-quality sapphire from Sri Lanka as its centerpiece. Its deep blue color is like a tranquil night sky, surrounded by a circle of meticulously cut white diamonds, totaling 50. The brilliance and depth complement each other, showcasing luxury and elegance."
"Starting price: 1200 million. Minimum bid increment: 10. Bidding begins now!"
Instantly, many people in the audience became restless.
A middle-aged woman wearing glamorous jewelry was the first to raise her paddle, followed by a young, wealthy second-generation heir who also raised the price.
As the bidding progressed, the price quickly exceeded 1500 million.
It seems this sapphire necklace is very popular.
Song Qianyi sat upright, her eyes slightly narrowed as she carefully examined the necklace. She gently raised her hand and increased the bid by 200 million.
The price has reached 1700 million.
This action drew the attention of those around them.
Yu Zishu came specifically for this necklace, but she couldn't participate in the auction.
Yu Zishu watched helplessly as Song Qianyi raised the price, her heart burning as if it were being scorched by a raging fire.
The sapphire necklace that he had been determined to have was now something he could only watch as others vied for it, while he could only stand by and watch helplessly.
Her eyes were red-rimmed, tears welling up, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall. Her hands gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force.
Why! Why now of all times!
It's all because of Song Qianyi!!!
Duan Weiwei, standing to the side, looked at Yu Zishu with a heart full of helplessness and sympathy.
She gently tugged at Yu Zishu's arm, comforting her.
Meanwhile, the bidding at the auction was still in full swing.
After Song Qianyi raised the price, other buyers followed suit, pushing the price above 1800 million.
Song Qianyi decided to wait a little longer.
Anyway, with the system's unlimited credit limit, there's no worry about not being able to get it.
Song Qianyi sat there calmly, her expression serene, but her eyes revealed a determined resolve.
Li Qingyang asked softly from the side, "Miss Song, why not raise the price again? Is there some special consideration?"
Or perhaps the money prepared was insufficient?
However, Li Qingyang did not ask the question.
Song Qianyi turned her head slightly, a barely perceptible smile curving her lips, and responded softly.
"Raising the price now would only increase costs; I will make my move at the right time."
Meanwhile, Yu Zishu, though being held by Duan Weiwei's arm, was still trembling slightly. Her eyes were fixed on the sapphire necklace on the auction stage, her heart filled with resentment and bitterness.
"Weiwei, why is she so calm? She must be doing it on purpose, trying to embarrass me so she can steal my necklace!"
Yu Zishu said through gritted teeth.
Duan Weiwei sighed helplessly.
"Purple Book, don't get excited. There are rules to this auction. We can only wait and see for now."
At the auction, the price had climbed to 1900 million, and only a handful of bidders remained.
Song Qianyi gently adjusted her posture; she knew the crucial moment was approaching.
When the price exceeded 2000 million, two buyers began to hesitate, and the pace of bidding slowed significantly.
Seeing the opportunity, Song Qianyi slowly raised her bidding paddle and increased the price by 300 million.
For a moment, the whole place was in an uproar.
The reactions of the people in the auction hall varied.
The people on the first floor couldn't help but gasp in amazement, shocked by Song Qianyi's extravagant price increase.
They all whispered among themselves, discussing Song Qianyi's identity.
"Who exactly is this woman? She's so generous, adding three million without even blinking an eye."
"It seems she's determined to get this sapphire necklace; such ambition is rare."
"I think she knows Second Young Master Li, so her identity is not simple."
A middle-aged man who had just been bidding shook his head, put down his bidding paddle, and whispered to his companion beside him.
"Forget it, this has exceeded my budget by too much. I'm withdrawing from this round. Miss Song is really strong."
The auctioneer was ecstatic, his face beaming with excitement, and he shouted even louder.
"This lady has offered 23 million. Are there any higher bids?"
"Twenty-three million once, twenty-three million twice..."
His eyes quickly scanned the audience below, hoping for another miracle, since such a high-priced auction would greatly enhance his performance.
