rned against her, she wouldn't be able to protect Li Bochen. Li Bochen would also need a skill to support himself.Unexpectedly, the matter was exposed so quickly. Along the way, Luo Ningxi never let g...Three days later, Riddle's Auction House.
Outside the auction house, there were many luxury cars parked, dazzling to behold.
A long red carpet stretched from the entrance all the way to the roadside. Security guards and hostesses stood on both sides. The scene was filled with the fragrance of perfume and the gathering of distinguished guests, lively and extraordinary.
Luo Ningxi walked beside Li Bochen's arm, her heart pounding with anxiety.
It seemed that he noticed Luo Ningxi's unease. Li Boche raised his hand to help her straighten her necklace and leaned in close to her ear, whispering softly, "Don't be nervous, let's go in."
Luningxi nodded and entered the auction with Li Bochen.
By now, most of the seats in the venue were filled. Luo Ningxi quickly glanced around and found many prominent figures from the business world.
"I heard that the president of Shengshi Group will also be attending today"
"I heard too, apparently they accepted the invitation and even said the CEO will be there..."
"The CEO always makes things mysterious. Last time he said he'd appear but never did, I wonder if this is fake news"
Hearing someone in the crowd discussing Shengshi Group, Luo Ningxi couldn't help but turn her head to glance at Li Boche.
Thanks to him and Shengshi's CEO applying for this opportunity, I was able to enter the auction so easily.
Today, Li Bochen was dressed in a charcoal gray suit. His face was cold and his aura was powerful, not at all inferior to the group of wealthy businessmen around him. Who would have guessed that he was just a "small employee" of Shengshi Group
"Honey, you're so handsome."
She gave her heartfelt praise.
Li Bochen slightly raised his thin lips, "Wife, you are also beautiful."
The combination of a handsome man and a beautiful woman quickly attracted the attention of many.
Li Bochen and Luo Ningxi found their places, and soon the auction officially began.
The first few lots were unveiled, and there was a flurry of bidding as prices soared into the millions. Luo Ningxi listened quietly, her heart pounding with a touch of anxiety.
One item after another was sold, and Luo Ningxi had achieved the purpose of this trip.
The auctioneer on stage held a small hammer in his hand, his smile still radiant.
"Next up for auction is a ruby necklace, the last piece created by world-renowned jewelry designer Shen Wanru!"
When the auctioneer called out Shen Wanru's name, many people in the audience showed expressions of anticipation.
A lady in formal attire held a black velvet box and walked slowly to the center of the stage.
In the velvet box, a ruby necklace lay quietly, gleaming under the incandescent light, its vibrant flames dancing and sparkling.
When the necklace was displayed, several people couldn't help but gasp in amazement.
"It's a shame that such a good work doesn't have its own name. What a pity."
The auctioneer shook his head and immediately got down to business.
"The starting bid is five million. Auction begins."
Although Lon Ningxi desperately wanted to get her hands on the necklace, she didn't rush to raise her sign and bid. Instead, she observed the surroundings first.
"Six million!" Someone immediately bid.
"Six million five hundred thousand!"
"Six million six hundred thousand!"
……
The price of necklaces continues to rise as expected.
Although the surface of Loningxi was calm and unruffled, her clenched fist betrayed the turmoil within her heart.
Because she only has 12 million in her hands now.
This is all she has saved up!
"Don't worry."
The icy fingertips were suddenly grasped by a warm pair of hands.
Li Boche gently separated her clenched palm, revealing a gentle smile.
The auctioneer raised his hammer, "Eight million once! Eight million twice!"
Finally, Luo Ningxi held up the number in her hand.
"Ten million!"
Luo Ningxi directly bid two million upwards, raising the price.
As expected, when the price reached tens of millions, many bidders began to consider the value of the necklace!
Luo Ningxi stared at the necklace on the table. Although her expression was calm, her heart was pounding with anxiety.
Ten million once! Ten million twice!
Time at this point was stretched infinitely, passing with agonizing slowness, but Loningxi's breath grew increasingly rapid.
Li Boche saw Luo Ningxi's nervousness in his eyes. He took out his phone and sent a message, bowing his head.
"Ten million!"
A sudden call shattered the silence of the hall, making Luo Ningxi's heart skip a beat.
Her gaze swiftly darted toward the direction the sound came from, but with the seating arrangement in the hall being so close, Luo Ningxi could only see a sea of heads at a glance.
Only one could be seen, license plate number seventeen.
It wasn't just Loning Xi; many at the auction had their eyes on lot number seventeen, all wondering who would be so generous as to spend so much on a necklace!
"Two million!" Luo Ningxi raised the price again.
This is her limit.
Now all I hope for is a miracle to happen.
Unfortunately, she wasn't blessed with good luck. The voice raised the price again!
17 million!
Lo Ningxi got up anxiously!
My gaze pierced through the crowd and finally landed on the person holding number seventeen. It was Yu Chengnan!ake President Yu take such a drastic measure that harms himself as much as he harms the enemy!""Yeah, yeah, me too!"The surrounding murmurs grew louder, making Luo Zhiqin so angry that her face turned...
