Chapter 55 Auction (Part 3) Eyes of the Sea
This was not an expected development.
Shen Pianpian's eyes were filled with panic under the dim light.
She now only has 20 million in her hand, most of which was borrowed from Meng Qingse.
But no one should continue to bid.
This piano is just a souvenir. In fact, there is nothing special about the piano itself. Apart from her, how could anyone be willing to pay so much worthless money for it?
Shen Pianpian's palms began to sweat.
The auctioneer on the stage laughed even harder at this moment. She could even see the wrinkles on his smooth face caused by his smile.
She clenched her fists, and her tightly bitten lips loosened at this moment, suppressing her desire to raise the price again.
"Twenty-five million."
But that voice did not hesitate, still faint,
"30 million."
Shen Pianpian’s whole body froze.
The auctioneer glanced around the room and raised the hammer again with a smile.
"Thirty million once!"
"Thirty million twice!"
"Thirty million three times! Deal!"
Shen Pianpian slowly leaned back in the chair, and all the strength in her body seemed to be gradually leaving her at this moment.
The piano that accompanied her throughout her childhood was gradually pushed off the stage, as if it was also taking away all the warmth in her body.
She felt more tired and miserable than ever before.
She really wanted to raise the bid again and buy the piano back at the highest price without hesitation.
But she doesn't even have such capital now.
A drop of crystal clear water slid silently from the corner of her eye across her expressionless face, shattered on her clothes, and left a circular water mark.

There were no familiar items in the subsequent auction items.
As the auction was about to come to an end, Shen Pianpian slowly stood up and walked out silently from her seat.
An auction just ended at this time.
As she walked up the stairs step by step, the last auction item was pushed out.
Shen Pianpian didn't look back.
The auctioneer's rhythmic voice continued.
"What is being presented now is the final lot of this auction, and I believe that is why so many people have come here." He lowered his voice, creating a mysterious atmosphere in the closed venue.
"Three hundred years ago, the world's largest blue diamond was first discovered in ancient Egypt. The Egyptian pharaoh commissioned it to be polished and carved, and it was eventually set into a crown as a gift to the queen. Later, the crown mysteriously disappeared, only to reappear a hundred years later in a shipwreck in the East China Sea. By then, it had been reworked into a necklace."
"This necklace appeared at an auction in Empire Cloud Harbor twenty years ago and was successfully bought for 50 million RMB. Fortunately, our Empire Auction House has found its trace this time."
The auctioneer reached out and yanked back the dark blue velvet covering the box.
"The world's largest existing blue diamond comes from the dazzling Heart of Egypt—the Eye of the Sea—that was worn on Cleopatra's crown three hundred years ago! Starting price: fifty million!"
His passionate voice echoed back and forth in the conference hall, layer upon layer.
When the last word sounded, Shen Pianpian, who had already walked to the door, suddenly turned around.
The dark blue diamond necklace magnified on the LED screen reflected in her pupils, instantly forcing a hideous blood color into her eyes.
It was a very mysterious blue.
The outer layer is a light blue, while the inner layer of the diamond is a gradient of deep blue. The color in the center is so rich that it seems like the tide in the deep sea.
At first glance, it really looks like a pupil born from the deep sea.
It is extremely beautiful and mysterious.
