Chapter 53: A Real Daughter Can't Even Buy a Gem

Lin Mao didn't think that Su Baili was the kind of person Lin Qiyan described.

First of all, it's temperament. He has met many people, and every move of Su Baili reveals the temperament of a rich lady. Unlike Lin Qiyan who is beside him, even if she wears luxurious clothes for decoration, there is always a kind of rusticity that is out of place.

The second thing is her dress. Although Lin Mao couldn’t see it clearly, he could guarantee that it was definitely not cheap.

This dress is not that kind of kept relationship. I would be willing to buy her clothes.

After all, he understood the thoughts of these upper-class people very well. Everything must be profitable. If there is no profit, it must be worth the corresponding value. They are not fools who would spend millions on a kept lover just to buy her a dress to make her happy.

This money can be used to please your wife, but it would be a waste to please your lover.

Seeing that Lin Mao was really angry, Lin Qiyan hurriedly and carefully said in a flattering tone: "I'm just afraid that she has deceived you. If you don't like me, I won't say anything. Let's go, let's go to our seats quickly."

"You better mean it."

Lin Mao narrowed his eyes and glanced at Lin Qiyan, then turned around and strode towards the seat in front.

Seeing this, Lin Qiyan quickly picked up her skirt and followed.

When she passed by Su Baili, she did not forget to glare at her fiercely out of the corner of her eye, and that look was full of resentment and viciousness.

It seems that she is also blaming Su Baili for Lin Mao's cruel treatment of her.

After Lin Qiyan sat down, she found that the ticket her father got was in the third row, three rows ahead of Su Baili's seat.

She was satisfied again.

Even if I'm kept by someone, I still can't compare to her.

You dare to ignore her? Just wait and see!

At this moment, Su Baili didn't even know that someone had hated her, and for such a strange reason.

Fortunately, the auction started soon after, and the host came on stage and gave a brief introduction.

Afterwards, the venue darkened and a promotional video was played on the big screen.

After the promo ended, the lights in the venue were turned back on.

At this point, the auction officially kicked off.

The first lot was a dazzling sapphire.

The gems shine brightly under the light.

It immediately attracted the attention of many people present.

The auctioneer began to introduce enthusiastically, "This is a 21.3-carat Kashmir Royal Blue Sapphire, and it is also the largest sapphire of the year. This gem has a velvety feel that only high-grade Kashmir sapphires have, a color combination of blue and purple. The interior of the gem is full of fine velvety light, which looks psychedelic. The starting price is 13 million, and the bid will be increased by 100,000 yuan each time."

As soon as she finished speaking, someone started competing.

Su Baili just took a quick glance and showed no interest at all.

She had so many of these gems that she could play with them like marbles.

Yuan Yi, who was standing beside her, saw her lack of interest and said with a smile, "Why don't you guys look at it anymore? Don't you little girls like this kind of gem the most?"

Su Baili shook her head. "It's boring after watching it too much."

Yuan Yi nodded to show that he understood. He thought that Su Baili often looked at these things on the Internet, and after looking at them too much, she couldn't afford to buy them, so of course she found them boring.

But he didn't know that Su Baili was secretly complaining in her heart at this time.

It’s not that she doesn’t like gems. She liked them for a short period of time. But it’s a pity that when you have too much of something, you start not knowing how to cherish it…

This is human nature, and she is the same.

After Qi Shenzhi discovered that she liked gemstones, he often bought them for her in various ways.

There is now a big box of gems piled up at home. She can even play with them as if they were rocks, and each one is better than the one on the stage...

I've seen enough.

After Su Baili ruthlessly complained in her heart, she had nothing to do, so she picked up the auction brochure that she had left aside and took a casual look at it.

As she looked at the items, she caught her eye.

This is a pair of blue and white porcelain teacups. Just from the photos in the album, you can see that its simple and smooth lines exude a warm texture.

Like it and want to buy it.

Su Baili has recently become fond of these old items, but fortunately she doesn't have any collecting habits, so Qi Shenzhi doesn't know about it.

If he knew, the antiques in the house would probably pile up like a mountain again...

Just because she doesn’t like jewelry doesn’t mean others don’t like jewelry.

At least Lin Qiyan, who had never seen such jewelry before, couldn't resist it at all.

She said coquettishly: "Brother, I like this gem, please buy it for me."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Mao looked at her as if she was a fool.

"Lin Qiyan, please be aware of your status. If you are ill, go get treatment. Don't talk nonsense here. The starting price of this gem is already 13 million. How can you be worthy of it? Ask yourself, do you deserve it?"

This statement was too straightforward, causing Lin Qiyan's face to turn red.

She said dissatisfiedly: "My father told me when I came here to take a picture of something I like and bring it back."

Lin Mao looked at her expressionlessly and immediately saw through her little thoughts.

"But he also said that the amount you shoot cannot exceed two million. If you like, you can shoot it, but you have to pay for the excess yourself. No one will bother you."

Lin Mao disliked this sister from the first time he saw her.

She is too utilitarian, and her desire is clearly written in her eyes. People like her should not be indulged, otherwise she will climb over his head and act tyrannically.

But my parents still can’t figure it out.

So she became more and more confident.

She has only been home for a short time, but the money she has spent is already an astronomical figure that is enough to shock an ordinary family.

The Lin Group has been on a downward trend in recent years, and they were afraid that something unexpected would happen and their capital chain would be completely broken.

She, on the other hand, is just like a young lady, extravagant and wasteful.

To put it bluntly, he didn't come here to bid for any collections. His main purpose was to make friends with some big guys and see if he could come up with some cooperation to help the Lin family revive.

Why did he have to bring this brainless Lin Qiyan along to such an important occasion?

He is really annoying.

The man's mocking look was clearly visible.

"you--"

Lin Qiyan felt offended. She stomped her feet in anger, but there was nothing she could do.

It was because she didn't dare to say anything tough to Lin Mao.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. The Lin family was so rich, yet why were they so stingy? Not only did they only let her bid for one item, they also stipulated that the price could only be two million.

What can you do with this little money!

Even though she had only been back at the Lin family for a month, she had already gotten used to this extravagant lifestyle.

Two million was nothing to her. She had completely forgotten about the money before and she wouldn't even dare to dream about it.

It is indeed very easy to ruin a person, especially someone whose character is not so pure to begin with.

In the end, Lin Qiyan could only watch with regret as the sapphire was auctioned off for 29 million.

She stared at the woman who bought the gems with envy. She could obviously tell she was from some wealthy family. She was so lucky.

Lin Qiyan gritted her teeth. Why could someone take photos of her whenever they wanted even though they were both daughters of wealthy families?

Big brother is just making things difficult for her on purpose!

After that, Lin Qiyan liked several pieces of jewelry in a row.

But the starting price had already exceeded two million, so she had no choice but to give up unwillingly.

Lin Mao looked at Lin Qiyan's greedy eyes and felt more and more disgusted.

As expected, he was raised in a poor family. He had no dignity at all and his eyes were almost pressed against hers.

It was such a disgrace to bring her out.

From now on, no matter what his parents said, he would never appear in the same situation with her.
