Chapter 54 Auction (Part 2)
All the previous ominous premonitions were confirmed at this moment.
Ning Haoyu. Ning family.
How dare you actually do such a thing!
The auction continued. After a series of explanations, the auctioneer stood aside, leaving the huge LED screen behind him.
Like an old silent movie playing.
A piano, and a girl in a white dress.
She closed her eyes slightly under the spotlight, and her fingertips dancing between the black and white keys were like a butterfly flying through flowers.
It's so quiet and beautiful, like an angel fallen into the mortal world.
The next moment, the scene switched. The woman had black hair draped over her shoulders and was wearing a black dress that dragged on the ground. She looked luxurious, elegant and mature. However, the movement of her fingers seemed like the burning of flames. Her fingers were so fast that only afterimages could be seen. A Croatian rhapsody was forcibly sped up to the extreme, making the already passionate melody even more surging.
The camera shifts to outside the spotlight, and the venue with tens of thousands of people is packed, with tens of thousands of intense and fiery gazes all focused here, as if it is the attention of the world.
Yet, under such scrutiny, the woman remained calm and composed, her demeanor naturally flowing from her. The faint smile on her lips was enjoyable and distant, like the darling of the world.
Some people at the scene had already let out involuntary low cries and fascinated exclamations, and the atmosphere began to gradually become lively and heated.
The auctioneer's lips curled slightly, and as he scanned the audience calmly, he seemed both mercenary and shrewd.
He raised his voice excitedly and said,
"This Steinway piano, which has been used by Madam Xia for ten years, has a reserve price of one million and a half!"
The moment the words fell, someone raised a sign.
"One million and eight hundred thousand!"
Shen Pianpian suddenly closed her eyes.
There were bloodstains on her palms, but she no longer felt any pain.
The gradually boiling and rising bids in her ears seemed to have turned into fire, burning a huge hole in her heart again and again. The cold wind blew continuously from it, freezing the blood in her body into ice.
This is my mom's stuff.
This is my mom's stuff.
Why is it at auction?
Why would her most precious thing be displayed like merchandise with a price tag on it?
Why am I staying here listening to that rubbish introduction from the person on the stage who knows nothing and touching her piano?
Why would I let these money-grubbing people comment on her most precious thing?
Why would I give these people the chance to humiliate my mother!
She opened her eyes.
There was a gloomy look in his eyes, so cold that it almost froze people.
The next second, a cold and clear voice rang out in the venue, freezing the boiling bidding in the audience like a terminator.
"Ten million."
Many people were stunned. For an old-fashioned piano with a starting price of 1.5 million, even if it was of great significance, most people would bid in increments of 100,000 or 200,000. But this one voice instantly doubled the previous bid!
Some people turned around to look behind them, but the auction hall was packed, and the area where the sound came from was also full of people, so it was impossible to tell who was making the sound.
Some people couldn't help but continue to bid.
"One million and two hundred thousand!"
"Fifteen million."
The voice was still clear and cold, without any fluctuation, but it raised the price by nearly five million without hesitation.
Some people were secretly shocked.
The guests sitting next to her couldn't help but look at her, but Shen Pianpian still had a cold expression and just stared at the piano on the stage.
"Are there any other customers who want to increase the price?"
The auctioneer asked with a smile while raising the hammer in his hand.
"Fifteen million at a time!"
"Fifteen million twice!"
"One thousand five hundred..."
"Twenty million."
A light and low voice sounded from the VIP seat at the front.
Shen Pianpian suddenly looked up.
