CEO's Secret Lover C719

“it was his mother’s doing.” huo jiu said as he gave he meili an ambiguous look.

at this moment, she meixin was still immersed in the sudden appearance of huo jiu, unable to react. hearing huo jiu’s words, she could only embarra.s.sedly smile.

“alright, i won’t disturb you guys anymore. beautiful heart, come sit over there with me.” huo jiabao said to her when he saw that he meixin had come back from his trance.

when she meixin heard this, she was slightly taken aback. she turned around to look at wu wei and discovered that he had a carefree expression on his face. it seemed that he was not angry at the appearance of the huo family’s heirloom at all.

“yes.” nodding, he meixin decided to go with huo jianji since she couldn’t sit down at this table anyway.

wu wei didn’t react at all when he heard that she was leaving. he was sipping on half a gla.s.s of white wine.

as huo jiu walked over to the round table at the very front, there was no one sitting at the table. on the table, there was the name plate “huo group”.

after the three of them sat down, the auction officially began.

the auctioneer held a hammer and walked to the center of the stage. following his refined introduction, the first item was brought out by the staff member. it was a piece of colored pottery and porcelain from the kangxi era.

all the n.o.ble officials and officials started to bid, and huo jiu didn’t even look at the stage. it seemed like he wasn’t interested in that precious antique at all.

the first piece of porcelain was eventually sold to an antique collector for a high price.

the second item that was being auctioned was the unlisted sherlock holmes investigation book that she yimeng had been looking forward to obtaining. because of the rarity of this work, the auctioneer offered a starting price of one million.

when this price was announced, many experts who were interested in collecting these items began to bid. the starting price of the item rose from one million to five million.

a price of 5 million was a hurdle, anyone who could call out such a price seemed determined to win.

she meixin knew he yi meng really liked this work, but she discovered that huo jiuji had no intentions of bidding. after that person called out a bid of five million, no one made a sound. the auctioneer had already started bidding several times.

“five million, is there anyone willing to bid?” five million going once … “five million times …”

“six million.” finally, wu wei raised his card before the five million yelled out for the third time.

“very good, 6 million. is there anyone else who wants to bid?” the auctioneer began to ask again.

“six million two hundred thousand.” that person seemed determined to win the painting as he raised the bid.

“7 million.” wu wei raised his hand again.

this time, that person did not raise the bid any further. it was estimated that the bid of 7 million was already beyond what he could bear with this work.

“7 million, is there anyone willing to bid?” the auctioneer seemed to be very satisfied with the price and he quickly asked.

at this moment, there was complete silence. no one wanted to raise the bid anymore.

“7 million going once.”

no one spoke.

“seven million twice.”

still no one spoke.

“seven hundred …”

the third time he didn’t shout it out, the other bidder raised his hand again: “seven million five hundred thousand.”

at this point, everyone naturally thought that wu wei would add them again. however, after waiting for almost a minute, wu wei didn’t show any signs of activity.

seeing this, the auctioneer started to hammer.

“seven million five hundred thousand. is there anyone else?” the story, which was not included in the sherlock holmes investigation, was written by the famous british detective novelist arconan doyle. ” once again, the auctioneer emphasized the value of the book.

she yimeng was a little nervous. he didn’t know why huo jiuzi didn’t call for the price. was he not going to buy it for him?

at first, she was prepared to bid, but when she heard wu wei’s bid, she knew that he must have bought it for he yi meng as well. she felt that there was no need to raise the price with him, so she didn’t call him out.

she grabbed the sign in front of her and was about to lift it, but huo jiabao stopped her.

“what are you doing?” if you don’t bid, this item will be bought by someone else. ” he mei xin struggled to shout at huo jianji.

“this thing can’t fly, don’t worry about it.” huo jiabao pressed he meixin’s hand.

“seven million five hundred thousand, once.” on stage, the auctioneer had already begun issuing an ultimatum.

“seven million five hundred thousand, twice.”

“seven million five hundred thousand. sent three times. this gentleman congratulates you on obtaining the work of aconandore.” finally, the moment the hammer struck down, he mei’s heart was discouraged.

however, she yimeng remained unmoved as she began to deal with the delicacies in front of him.

when did this child become so heartless? didn’t she feel a little depressed when her beloved item was taken by someone else?

the next few intense battles continued. huo jiu sat there unmoved, continuously toasting he wei meng and the others.

she meixin did not know if he came here to cheat food and drink.

he didn’t even bid for anything.

finally, the finale came out.

the legendary “angel’s temptation” necklace.

she meixin was unable to see how many carats of colored diamonds it was with her eyes. in short, it was very big, so big that it exceeded all the diamonds she had ever seen with her own eyes. a bit like the “heart of the sea” inside the t.i.tanic.

these rich people really did not take money as money.

“this is the last item for auction, a top quality diamond necklace named ‘angel’s temptation’ made from 220 pieces of broken diamond and 30 carats of colored powder, starting with a price of 30 million.” after the staff member brought out the necklace, everyone was dumbfounded.

the dazzling diamond combined with its elegant and beautiful appearance was so gorgeous that it was impossible to shift one’s gaze away.

after wu wei’s two diamond attacks, she meixin was already immune to diamonds. she was not interested in the ‘angel’s temptation’ onstage at all, and the book of sherlock holmes’s investigation was still lingering in her mind.

but because the price was too expensive, she couldn’t help but to swallow her saliva. although her family was very rich, in order to easily digest a necklace worth tens of millions, she still had to consider it.

recalling guo caimei’s request for wu wei to give her the necklace, she suppressed the excitement in her heart and decided to deal with it the same way.

after the auctioneer announced the starting price, the value of the necklace started to skyrocket.

“thirty five million …”

“40 million …”

“fifty million …”

as the price continued to rise, fewer and fewer people were bidding. everyone could only look on helplessly as this unreachable object fell into someone else’s pocket.
