Before long, the painting of two butterflies dancing was sold for a high price of 8.5 million, and the successful bidder was an elderly man dressed in Tang suit.
The old man must be a celebrity in Zhongzhou City. After he won the bid, the guests sitting around him immediately congratulated him.
"Now, please bring out the second item for auction: the luminous cup once used by the famous poet Wang Han!"
As soon as Li Lingli said this, all the guests present gasped in surprise.
Wang Han is very famous; the wine glasses he has used must be incredible.
Moreover, the luminous cup has appeared in Wang Han's poems.
Grapes and fine wine in a luminous cup, I long to drink, but the pipa urges me on.
Do not laugh at me, drunk and lying on the battlefield; how many have returned from ancient battles?
Could this luminous cup be the same one mentioned in this poem?
All the guests looked intently toward the stage, their eyes glued to the emerald green wine glass, some even drooling.
"Now, the auction for the luminous cup is officially starting, with a starting price of six million and each bid must be at least one hundred thousand higher!" Li Lingli shouted.
Then another fierce bidding war broke out in the auction hall, with the guests practically fighting tooth and nail.
A few minutes later, the luminous cup was successfully auctioned off for nearly nine million to a portly man who looked like a boss.
Those who didn't win the bid were all dejected, their faces filled with regret.
"Why are they all antiques? Aren't there any other things?" Jiang Lingxuan asked, frowning.
Whether it was because she heard Jiang Lingxuan's complaint or not, Li Lingli on stage smiled and glanced in this direction.
The next moment, Li Lingli shouted: "The third item up for auction is the masterpiece of internationally renowned Chinese jewelry designer Master Zhao Zhengguang—the Jade Moon Double Rings!"
A female staff member gracefully walked onto the stage carrying a tray.
Once on stage, Li Lingli raised her right hand and used her two slender fingers to pick up the Jade Moon Double Rings from the tray, showing them to all the guests present.
"The Jade Moon Double Rings are a piece of jewelry personally designed and handcrafted by Master Zhao Zhengguang. It is the only one of its kind in the world!"
"Moreover, the material used for the Jade Moon Twin Rings is icy jadeite!"
"The patterns on the Jade Moon Double Rings can be perfectly inlaid together, making the two bracelets a perfect match, truly seamless!"
"What are you all waiting for! The Jade Moon Twin Rings are absolutely the best token of love!"
On stage, Li Lingli held the Biyue Double Rings and spoke in a high-pitched voice, which made the atmosphere of the audience enthusiastic.
Especially the female guests in the audience!
After all, women are naturally interested in jewelry and ornaments, and they also like things related to love and romance.
Now that the Azure Moon Twin Rings have appeared, they have naturally attracted their attention!
"Why don't you tell me the starting price?"
"Yeah, why keep us in suspense!"
"Can't you live without keeping people in suspense?!"
The female guests in the audience no longer cared about maintaining their image as ladies or socialites, and began to urge them on.
Seeing that she had whetted the appetites of the guests below the stage, Li Lingli finally said with satisfaction, "Now, the Biyue Twin Rings are officially up for auction, with a starting price of seven million and each bid must be at least one hundred thousand!"
As soon as Li Lingli finished speaking, countless people immediately began bidding.
"I'll offer seven and a half million!"
"Seven million six hundred thousand!"
"Seven million seven hundred thousand!"
"Don't try to take these bracelets from me, I'm going to have them! I'll offer eight million!"
"To dare to make such boastful remarks with only eight million? How pathetic and laughable! I'll offer eight million three hundred thousand!"
"Eight million five hundred thousand!"
In just a short while, the price broke through the ten million mark.
However, after breaking the ten million mark, the number of bidders suddenly decreased significantly.
After all, not everyone is willing to spend over ten million to buy a pair of bracelets.
Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan were both tempted, and the two women looked enviously at the Biyue Twin Rings on the stage.
Night Breeze naturally noticed their gazes and guessed what they were thinking.
Since Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan want it, why not take a picture and give it to them?
Moreover, the Jade Moon Double Rings are a pair, so after taking the photos, we gave one to each of them, which was perfect!
However, just as Ye Feng was about to raise his paddle to bid, Huang Linglong suddenly stood up, holding up her paddle: "I bid twelve million for this pair of Azure Moon Rings!"
Huang Linglong immediately overwhelmed the entire audience, causing the guests to fall silent.
"Isn't that Mayor Huang's daughter, Huang Linglong?"
"I didn't expect even she to attend this auction!"
"We can't refuse to give face to the mayor's daughter."
"Nonsense, who would dare to challenge the mayor's daughter? Wouldn't they be afraid of being targeted?"
The guests at the scene were all talking about it. Many of the wealthy heiresses or female bosses who wanted to bid for the Jade Moon Twin Rings all showed helpless expressions and remained silent.
The auctioneer on stage, Li Lingli, then shouted, "Miss No. 15 has bid twelve million for the Jade Moon Twin Rings. Has anyone bid higher than her?"
After asking several times and seeing that no one else was bidding, Li Lingli finally announced, "Twelve million for the first time! Twelve million for the second time! Twelve million for the third time—"
Just as the deal was about to be finalized, Ye Feng suddenly stood up, holding his bidding paddle, and shouted, "I bid thirteen million for the Azure Moon Twin Rings!"
These words shocked everyone present!
All the guests in the room looked towards Ye Feng, and each of them wore a deep sense of shock.
"Who is this guy? How dare he compete with the mayor's daughter?"
"Doesn't he know who Huang Linglong is?"
"What audacity!"
"Just watch, Miss Huang is about to explode, and this man is definitely going to get what's coming to him!"
The guests below the stage were talking about it, with all sorts of opinions, but most people thought that Ye Feng wouldn't get away with it.
However, the result was beyond everyone's expectations.
Huang Linglong looked at Ye Feng with surprise and said, "Mr. Ye, you also want to bid on this pair of Azure Moon Rings?"
“Yes, my female companion wants it,” Night Breeze said with a smile.
“But…” Huang Linglong’s face showed a reluctant expression.
Ye Feng said, "Miss Huang, why don't you give me the Azure Moon Twin Rings? I promise you that if any items you are interested in appear at auction in the future, I will not compete with you again."
Huang Linglong never wanted to compete with Ye Feng, and now that Ye Feng had spoken so politely, she naturally knew what to do.
So Huang Linglong smiled sweetly and said, "Since Mr. Ye has said so, then alright, I will give up the bidding."
After saying that, Huang Linglong sat down.
The guests present were stunned by what they saw.
"Who exactly is that guy? Why is Miss Huang being so polite to him?!"
"Unbelievable! Incomprehensible!"
