Chapter 29 It was my fault. I took the initiative to seduce him.
Even though Pei Zhiyi had been supported by the Pei family for many years, his savings were far from enough to allow him to bid 8 million without changing his expression.
Zhou Shiyi probably felt guilty, and in order to compensate Pei Zhiyi, he also started to bid.
So at the end of the auction, it became a one-sided competition between Lin Feng and Zhou Shiyi.
After all, the Lin family was a wealthy family, and Lin Feng finally won the necklace at a price of 15 million. Zhou Shiyi felt that he had lost face, and he stood up and left the venue with a dark face.
"Hey, some people's lovers are not good at money!"
Pei Zhiwan smiled at Lin Feng who turned to look at her, and said lightly and mockingly, "I thought the Zhou family was rich and powerful, and Zhou Shiyi was so powerful that it was not a problem for him to spend a little money."
"Pei Zhiwan, don't be complacent!"
Pei Zhiyi just wanted to chase Zhou Shiyi out when he heard Pei Zhiwan say this. The whole person was almost furious, "It's just a necklace, only, only a country bumpkin like you would care about it!" "
Yeah, yeah, I'm a country bumpkin."
Pei Zhiyi responded absent-mindedly, his mind had long been drifting to eating melons.
[I remember there will be a good show at the auction today, why haven't I seen it yet? ]
[It's said to be a pair of jade earrings. γ
γIt's still two families, the old man and his daughter-in-law,γ
Xu Qinghe and Pei Zhenqing came with Pei Zhiwan.
At this moment, they were both shocked when they heard Pei Zhiwan's voice.
Who doesn't like to eat such a tempting melon?
Xu Qinghe lowered her head and flipped through the auction brochure for tonight. Flipping back, she found that there was indeed a page with jade earrings printed on it.
To be precise, it was a pair of jade earrings with thread.
The threadwork of the earrings was done very delicately and skillfully. It can be seen that it should be an old thing.
This is not uncommon in the circle of wealthy families. Most of them are families whose ancestors are either rich or noble and pass down some exquisite and noble things as heirlooms from generation to generation.
What is rare is the act of auctioning heirlooms.
"The next item," the pair of jade earrings on the auction table had been taken to the display stand, "Laisi Jade Earrings, starting price, three million."
As soon as the voice fell, someone stood up immediately.
Pei Zhiwan turned his head to ask Xu Qinghe, and then he knew that it was Mrs. Qian.
"I lost this pair of earrings a few days ago. Who is so bold as to take them to the auction house for auction?"
Mrs. Qian looked at the earrings and was furious. "I reported the loss of the earrings to the police on the day. Let your responsible person come to see me, otherwise I have the right to sue you auction house for collusion and stealing other people's property." As soon as
the voice fell, there was an uproar in the venue.
Mrs. Qian's maiden name was Wu, and the item was a family heirloom. It was supposed to be passed down to the eldest son and his wife, but there was no male heir left in the Wu family, so the item was passed down to Mrs. Qian.
The earrings were lost a few days ago, and Mrs. Qian asked around in the circle for a long time, and even offered a reward of one million to find it, but in the end nothing came of it.
No one would have thought that the item that had been searched for so many days would eventually appear at an auction.
"Okay, shut up now, and talk to me when you get back," Mr. Qian tugged at Mrs. Qian's sleeve, frowning as if he felt embarrassed. "If you really like that pair of earrings, I can buy them for you."
Mrs. Qian frowned and turned her eyes to her husband, and she noticed that he seemed a little different today.
The matter was a big deal, and the person in charge of the auction house quickly rushed to the scene.
"Mrs. Qian," the manager came up to the person, nodded and bowed to explain, "I'm sorry to cause you trouble. After checking our records, this pair of earrings was brought by Miss Zhang Zhizhi for auction."
At this point, the manager bent his waist a little deeper.
"Our staff did not have enough work experience. After hearing Miss Zhang Zhizhi say that it was her family tradition, they did not conduct any verification."
Mrs. Qian's brows, which had just been relaxed, twisted even deeper after hearing the other party's "family tradition".
Zhang Zhizhi was not from a wealthy family. She married into the Sun family a year ago.
[Appeared! The old man and the daughter-in-law! ]
Pei Zhiwan was a little excited to watch the show. With shining eyes, he turned his head and looked at the pale-faced Miss Zhang Zhizhi sitting not far away.
This daughter-in-law of the Sun family is really a courageous person. First, she played a fairy tale play of Cinderella marrying into a wealthy family, and then immediately hooked up with the head of the family who was a family friend of her husband's family, and quickly stood firm.
She didn't even care that the other party was an old man in his fifties.
Even if this kind of drama happened in Haitang, only a few readers could handle it. But Miss Zhang Zhizhi treated it as a serious drama.
Xu Qinghe was troubled by her daughter's inner voice. She couldn't help but raise her hand to press her ears. She glanced at Pei Zhiwan calmly with a complicated expression.
She didn't realize that her daughter was interested in this kind of thing.
Madam Sun and Madam Qian were very close friends. Seeing that the earrings were taken out by her daughter-in-law, her face was naturally not good.
Under the attention of everyone in the audience, Madam Sun frowned and pulled Zhang Zhizhi up, and shouted at her to quickly explain where the earrings came from.
Zhang Zhizhi was only in her twenties after all, and although she was a bit scheming, she had never seen such a scene before. She was shaking violently, her eyes were red, and she was about to cry at any time.
"This, this is a family tradition."
Zhang Zhizhi looked at Mr. Qian hesitantly with tears in her eyes, then sniffed and pretended to be strong, "I'm not lying. How come Mrs. Qian lost something herself, and everyone looks like a thief?"
Mrs. Qian almost immediately locked onto the direction Zhang Zhizhi was looking at. She followed Zhang Zhizhi's gaze and finally set her eyes on her husband who was standing beside her.
"Qian Lin, you'd better explain to me clearly what's going on between you and this Miss Zhang Zhizhi?"
Mrs. Qian vaguely guessed something and was furious. She pulled her husband's clothes and asked like a madman, "Did you give her those earrings? Qian Lin, if you don't explain it to me today, you and her will both go to jail!"
The earrings were old items, and had long exceeded the sentencing standards. If Madam Qian really pursued the case, neither Qian Lin nor Zhang Zhizhi would be able to escape jail.
"Wu Lanfang, have you made enough trouble?"
Mr. Qian suddenly became angry and pushed away Madam Qian who was tugging at his clothes. "You still think it's not embarrassing enough, right? It's just a pair of earrings, what's the big deal?"
"Then you admit it?" Madam Qian snorted, staring into Mr. Qian's eyes and asked, "You admit that you stole my things and used them to please your little lover?"
