Chapter 56 I'm Talking About Dollars

Shen Pianpian remained turned around, staring at the blue diamond in a daze.

At this moment, memories reflected the face of an old man who was always serious and therefore smiled unnaturally.

"Little Yunduan, do you know how old you are today?"

The little girl in a princess dress and a small crown looked up at the old man very seriously and said seriously,

"Grandpa, Yunduan, I'm five years old this year. You seem to have a bad memory recently. I think it's necessary to ask the family doctor to come and see you."

But although his expression was very serious, little Yunduan didn't know that his mouth was still covered with cream and his voice was still that of a baby, so his words had no deterrent effect at all, but instead made the old man in front of him laugh so hard that his face was full of gentle wrinkles.

Little Yunduan pouted very unhappily and continued to eat the cake, but the old man did not let her go. He picked her up from the stool and put her on his knees. Then, a cold object was stuffed into her fleshy palm.

She lowered her head and saw an extremely beautiful blue gem.

The old man's voice was hoarse, and the taste of age inevitably overflowed from every breath, but in such an old voice, there was still a sense of love and affection.

"Little Yunduan, this is your birthday present that Grandpa spent a long time looking for. You must keep it well."

"If one day the Xia family falls and your grandfather is gone, as long as you have this gem, you can still be a proud and happy princess high in the clouds, never having to fall to the mortal world, never having to be stained by dirt."

"Little Yunduan, grandpa wishes you a happy birthday."

Unfortunately, at that time, little Yunduan was still a little foodie who only cared about cakes and desserts. She didn't care much about such priceless and beautiful things. She just agreed and ate the cake with a grunt.

My last memory was probably just the old man caressing the back of my head lovingly.

But when the reality came into view, the bidding continued to rise and fall, intertwined with those gifts and blessings from the old man that seemed like a lifetime ago and that were the most beloved of him.

Cruel, cold and merciless.

The Eye of the Sea, which she had kept in the old house of the Xia family, was the most precious gift that her grandfather had spent so much effort and money to find for her, and it was something that neither she nor her parents had ever thought of during the ups and downs of the Xia family over the past twenty years.

It was put on the exhibition stand so easily.

The atmosphere in the venue had reached its peak at this moment, and no one noticed the motionless person standing at the door.

"Eighty million!"

A voice that was almost a roar, made with gritted teeth, interrupted the auction for a moment.

After a moment of commotion, someone was about to raise the sign again, but a cold voice rang out from the VIP seats in the front, instantly choking everyone's throat.

He said,

"One hundred million."

The auctioneer on the stage couldn't help but stare, but the next second he laughed so hard that his eyes were invisible.

Shen Pianpian slowly raised her eyes to look, but in this place she couldn't even see the backs of the people in the first row clearly, nor could she identify which seat the occupants were.

Someone held his breath, stared at the necklace on the stage, gritted his teeth and raised the price again.

"One hundred and one million."

No one laughed at him at this time, because the price was so high that even if it was only 100,000 yuan, it was already extremely significant.

He expected that the man might have reached his limit, and the 100 million he called out just happened to be his biggest trump card. The calmness in his voice might just be a deliberate act.

He was looking forward to it.

But reality did not give him much time to fantasize.

The voice soon sounded again, still low and elegant, cold and indifferent without any emotion.

"I'm talking about dollars."
