Chapter 309 Coming for Her

The second lot is a bronze acupuncture figurine from the Qing Dynasty and a book titled "Illustrated Guide to Acupuncture Points on the Bronze Figurine".

This can be considered a treasure of traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture.

Qiao Xi's breath was choked.

An outsider might think these are useless things, but she knew very well how much these two things helped her.

"The starting price is 800,000. Bidding starts now!"

Seeing how excited she was, Du Ya silently gave her one million.

"Number seven, bid one million!"

"Number 6 bids 1.2 million!"

"Number seven, one million and a half!"

"Number six, two million!"

Box No. 6 seemed to be in a dispute with Qiao Xi and they were bidding against each other.

Qiao Xi felt a little distressed when she saw the soaring figures, and she held Du Ya's hand, "It's too expensive!"

Du Ya entered 3 million and said, "It's rare for you to have something you want, so consider this as my birthday present to you! I remember your birthday is September 1st on your ID card!"

In fact, her birthday is August 1st, but Du Ya thinks Qiao Xi probably doesn't want to celebrate her birthday on August 1st.

"VIP number seven, three million! Is there a higher price?" The auctioneer's voice was clear and excited.

The box next door didn't seem to want to give in.

"VIP No. 6, 3.5 million!"

Qiao Xi pursed her lips tightly. She couldn't let Du Ya continue taking the photo.

Otherwise they would really become the scapegoat. It was obvious that Box No. 6 was working against them, and they could see that they were determined to win.

So, she quickly tapped the word "Cancel" on the tablet.

"Qiao Xi you..."

"Mom, I don't need these things."

Three and a half million is too expensive!

What’s more, the transaction price may be even higher!

"Number 7 gives up! Three and a half million per time!"

Just when Ye Zhimeng thought she had secured Box No. 6, a higher price popped up on the screen.

"VIP No. 1, five million."

Five million?

In Box No. 6, Ye Zhimeng looked at the dignified young woman beside her and said angrily, "What should we do? Someone has offered 5 million. Should we continue the shoot?"

The woman shook her head: "Just don't let Qiao Xi take advantage of you. As for the others, feel free to do whatever you want. What's the point of an amateur holding these things? I've achieved my goal, so don't waste your money."

Five million is still a bit too much.

Ye Zhimeng had no choice but to watch as the medical book and the bronze man were taken down by guest number one.

She sarcastically said, "A country bumpkin is just petty, not even willing to spend a few million. No wonder she can't get anything shot. I want to see how she wins the acupuncture competition."

The person sitting next to her seemed to hear a joke: "How could she win?"

The once-in-a-decade Chinese Medicine Grand Ceremony was packed with experts, and Qiao Xi was only known as the apprentice of Cheng Han, a national doctor, and it was unknown how much she was capable of. Even Liu Zongyun's case was doubted by many experts.

Maybe, Qiao Xi was just a blind cat that caught a dead mouse.

Private sales are ongoing.

The next few items were antique vases and famous paintings from the Qing Dynasty, which were bought by some people. Qiao Xi did not bid again. Those items had no practical value to her, and she did not know how to appreciate them.

The last lot is a heavyweight.

Many people come for it.

The auctioneer introduced the sapphire ring with great pride: "This sapphire ring is the engagement ring that Emperor Napoleon gave to Queen Josephine. It is made of pear-shaped diamonds and sapphires inlaid in gold. The two pear-shaped gems are in opposite directions. This inlay method is very unique and has a special meaning."

The letters "Fated" are also engraved on the inside of the ring.

"The starting price is three million. Bidding starts now!"

"VIP No. 3, 3.1 million!"

"Number five, three million three hundred thousand!"

"Okay, number eight, four million!"

The auctioneer reports the latest auction prices on the big screen in real time, and the prices scroll very quickly.

Qiao Xibai was bored and eating fresh-cut fruits. Du Yuan felt a little regretful because she also wanted to take a picture of this ring!

"Qiao Xi, eat less. There will be a small banquet later."

"OK."

Qiao Xi put down her fork obediently.

Rongde's private auction is different from the large auction. After the auction, there is a small banquet for those who need it. Therefore, the banquet hall on the first floor is filled with delicious food and fine wine, and waiters are shuttling back and forth.

Qiao Xi looked up and saw that Josephine's sapphire wedding ring had been auctioned for six million.

Currently, No. 1 and No. 3 are competing, and Ye Zhimeng next door has already given up.

"VIP No. 3, 6.6 million!"

"VIP No. 1, 8.8 million!"

This number is like a fight between two people.

"Eight million eight hundred thousand once!"

"Twice!"

"Eight million eight hundred thousand three times, deal! Congratulations to VIP No. 1, this auction is over! We will send someone to deliver your items to the private room, and please move to the banquet hall on the first floor for dinner and exchange."

The auction lasted for about two hours.

Qiao Xi stood up and said, "Mom, I'm going to the bathroom first."

"Okay, I'll wait for you in the banquet hall on the first floor."

"Um."

Qiao Xi walked along the corridor with her small bag to the end. When she passed by Box No. 1, she saw that the door was slightly open. She was a little curious about who took the photo of the acupuncture bronze man and the medical book, so she took a look inside.

As a result, the person has left.

At this moment, a female voice came from behind.

"Are you Qiao Xi?"

Qiao Xi turned around and saw a cute girl. Her eyes were a bit domineering and willful, which made people dislike her. Those eyes looked at her with discomfort.

Qiao Xi could sense her hostility and also saw the pink diamond earrings hanging on her ears.

It turned out that this was Ye Zhimeng. She took a picture of the pink diamond earrings and couldn't wait to put them on.

Qiao Xi ignored it and went to the bathroom.

The girl kept shouting, "Why are you running?"

The only response she got was the bathroom door slamming shut.

Ye Zhimeng gritted her teeth and snorted coldly.

She heard that this country girl not only married Huo Xingzhou, but also Xu Xiuyuan was fond of her and had frequent contact with her in the hospital. She was very unhappy, and she was even more unhappy when she saw Qiao Xi's appearance.

How come she is so beautiful!

Today is the Ye family's private auction, and she wants to give Qiao Xi a warning!

…

The gorgeous wall lamps in the banquet hall on the first floor are lit, reflecting warm and luxurious light. The surroundings are decorated with exquisite oil paintings, tall green plants and rare flowers, which complement each other and are full of vitality.

The long banquet table was decorated with beautifully carved tableware and plates, smooth and clean. Flowers and crystal wine glasses were placed on the gauze towels, making the entire banquet table very elegant and tasteful.

There were only a few dozen guests at the auction, all dressed in luxurious casual attire, unlike the formal attire usually worn at large banquets.

When Qiao Xi went downstairs, she saw Du Ya and her friend chatting in a corner, and she had no intention of disturbing them.

But some blind people just want to provoke her.

Qiao Xi was standing in the banquet hall when she was suddenly bumped and staggered. The red wine spilled on her cheongsam, making it obviously dirty.
