When Mr. Ye came out of the study after finishing his phone call, his face darkened a little when he heard what the old lady said.
"What nonsense are you talking about. Is this the time to talk about this? They are all trying hard to find the child, and you are still making trouble." Old Master Ye scolded.
"You know the consequences of divorce, and you know how sad it will be for a child without a mother.
Have you ever thought about it? The older people get, the more confused they become. "Mr. Ye almost scolded the old lady for living in vain.
Ye's father quickly stepped forward and advised his father, "Dad, calm down. The child will be found."
Ye Mu reached out to wipe her tears without saying a word.
Lin Weiwan changed into a light blue dress, tied her long hair up behind her head and secured it with a pearl hairpin, and wore only a pearl necklace.
Mu Junyan sent a complete set of cosmetics. Lin Weiwan just put on some light makeup and lipstick to make herself look better.
Although Lin Weiwan said all this, he still went to bed at night worrying about Manman and Ye Guixing.
He Ming was waiting for Lin Weiwan in the car and did not enter the auction.
Mu Junyan got out of the car and opened the door. Lin Weiwan put her hand on Mu Junyan's arm to prevent her from tripping because her skirt was too long.
Wearing beige low-heeled shoes, Lin Weiwan followed Mu Junyan into the venue on the red carpet.
Lin Weiwan found his seat and sat there. Mu Junyan glanced around and saw that the seats were gradually filled.
When the time is up, the door closes and the lights are turned on to the booth.
The host came on stage and gave an opening speech. Lin Weiwan sat there, attracting the attention of people nearby.
In the inland, Lin Weiwan's business looked impressive, but here, Lin Weiwan felt that the little money he had meant nothing.
Soon, the first exhibit was placed on the stand. Lin Weiwan and Mu Junyan were sitting in the eighth row and had a very clear view of it.
The delicate things are all covered in the atlas. Lin Weiwan looked at the porcelain with a layer of white mist in front of him and opened the atlas in his hand.
The auctioneer stepped forward and said, “This is a Ming Yongle blue and white four seasons flower vase.
The floral patterns are lifelike, the lines of the bottle are smooth, and it is well preserved. The starting price is 4 million. "
Some people in the front row have already started raising their hands and bidding.
Lin Weiwan watched as the porcelain vase was finally sold for NT$8.6 million.
I sighed inwardly as I watched the first item being sold.
When the second item was brought up, Lin Weiwan became a little nervous.
Looking at the black wooden sculpture with thick mist and the emerald stone beside it, Lin Weiwan's fingers were unable to move.
People looked at the items in front of them, but didn't pay much attention to the black wooden sculpture.
What people are more interested in is the emerald rough stone. Some women are already thinking about what kind of jewelry they should make with the emerald rough stone and wear on their bodies.
The price went up from 7 million to 10 million, which attracted many bidders. They increased the price by 100,000 each time, just for fun.
"Number 26 bids one million first, one million, is there anyone else who wants to raise the price?" the auctioneer shouted excitedly.
A blond foreigner in the third row raised his sign again.
"Oh, No. 39, please bid one thousand or one hundred thousand first. One thousand or one hundred thousand. This emerald rough stone is very rare. Do you want to raise the price?"
The auctioneer's eyes swept across the entire venue, not missing a single person.
Lin Weiwan picked up the sign and raised it. The auctioneer smiled. "The beautiful lady No. 83 bids 16 million. 16 million. Anyone here wants to bid?"
The foreigners in the third row raised their placards again, and before the auctioneer could say anything, Lin Weiwan raised her placard for the second time.
"Oh, No. 39 is 1,600,000, and No. 83 is offering 17 million. Is there a higher price?
Oh, this one goes first, number 3 goes first to bid 1,000, 1,000,000 or 100,000 yuan. "
The foreigner turned around and looked at Lin Weiwan, only to see Lin Weiwan holding up the sign again.
At this time, there were only three people raising their cards back and forth on this main emerald green.
The price quickly soared to 20 million, and the auctioneer was so happy.
"Twenty million at a time." He looked at the audience.
"Twenty million twice."
Lin Weiwan raised the sign again, attracting the attention of the woman next to him.
"I didn't expect you like this emerald so much." The woman was in her thirties, wearing a silver dress.
Lin Weiwan nodded and smiled at the woman. He continued to stare ahead. He saw the men in the third row raising their signs again.
Lin Weiwan raised the sign in his hand again, without considering whether the money on his card was enough to pay.
Lin Weiwan's action attracted many people's attention, but for another reason.
It’s because there are only so many wealthy people in Harbour City, and the sudden appearance of a beautiful woman holding a sign is indeed very curious.
The man next to the woman was just an ordinary jeweler, but the money the woman paid had already exceeded the man's net worth.
Lin Weiwan raised the bid twice in a row, and the price soared to 23 million.
The man in the front row turned around to look at Lin Weiwan and stopped raising his sign.
The auctioneer asked three times in a row, but no one raised the price, so he finally went straight to the hammer.
Lin Weiwan sat there, thinking about the difference in the amount of money on the card.
After deducting the deposit and handling fee, there is still a shortfall of 4 million. Thinking of this, Lin Weiwan touched the handbag in his hand.
There is also a jade bracelet here, which is enough to be pawned.
In order to prevent such a thing, Lin Weiwan did make special preparations.
Lin Weiwan had seen everything in the auction catalogue. "Let's go pick it up."
Mu Junyan nodded, stood up, and helped Lin Weiwan walk out.
The items were picked up smoothly, and after the pair of bracelets were appraised, Lin Weiwan added 1.2 million to her account.
Although I feel a little sorry for the pair of ice-red jade bracelets, there is nothing I can do about it.
After checking the emerald, Lin Weiwan put the wood carving and the emerald into a box and walked out of the auction with it.
After getting in the car, Lin Weiwan reached for the box beside him and had already put the wood carvings and gems into the space.
The space is now much larger, and Lin Weiwan guessed that it would take a while for the space to open up again.
"Hello, what? I got it." Mu Junyan answered the phone with a happy look on his face.
"What happened?" Lin Weiwan asked Mu Junyan.
Mu Junyan curled his lips and said, "It's okay. I'll take you back to the hotel first."
Mu Junyan didn't say anything, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart because a jewelry store on Zhong Street that he owned was robbed.
Lin Weiwan got out of the car, and He Ming took the box and stood beside Lin Weiwan.
"Go and do whatever you need to do, and be careful. We'll be back by boat tomorrow."
Lin Weiwan said to Mu Junyan. Although she really wanted to tell Mu Junyan that she could come to her if she had any problem.
But now it seems that there are still some things that I haven't solved.
"Okay. You should be careful too." Mu Junyan said to Lin Weiwan and quickly got into the car.
