Mrs. Ren, who was standing next to her, was initially worried that Shi Xing would waste money, but seeing her confident demeanor, she didn't say anything more.
Given their financial resources, they probably wouldn't care about this amount of money at all.
Who knew that at the last minute, the other party won the bid.
Although she is young, she is still the head of the household, so she wouldn't be so easily tricked.
Shi Xing turned around and looked at the other person with a friendly smile, but her smile seemed to carry a hint of mockery.
The middle-aged man naturally saw it too. He was both embarrassed and angry, but since he didn't know anything about the other party, he didn't dare to provoke them.
I could only force a smile and greet her.
In a good mood, Shi Xing turned around and continued watching the auction.
Seeing that she wasn't affected and seemed to be in a good mood, Xu Bai's expression also brightened, though his lips were flat and lacked any curve, making him look like a cold-faced domineering CEO from the Arctic.
Shi Xing glanced at him and reached out to lift the corner of his mouth upwards.
Why do you look so down?
Xu Bai smiled as usual and replied, "That person prevented Miss from getting the ring."
Shi Xing chuckled and reached down, but Xu Bai took her fingertips and kissed them lightly, then took her hand in return.
Shi Xing raised an eyebrow and teased him, but because Madam Ren was nearby, she leaned closer and whispered, "Ah Xu is getting bolder and bolder."
"Don't you like it, Miss?" Xu Bai asked in return.
Shi Xing looked him up and down and replied, "Of course, I like it very much."
Hearing her say "I like you" again filled Xu Bai's eyes with joy and admiration.
He is aloof and cold in front of outsiders, but gentle and considerate when he is with her, always putting her first. Who wouldn't like that?
She held his hand and placed it on her lap, then gently played with and caressed each of his hairs.
Mrs. Ren, who was very perceptive, pretended not to hear, but finally couldn't resist her curiosity and moved closer with a smile.
"Xiaoxing, is this young man your boyfriend?"
Shi Xing didn't deny it: "Yes."
Mrs. Ren, who had long thought they looked like a couple, was instantly excited.
"You two are such a perfect match, both handsome and beautiful, a feast for the eyes!"
Xu Bai had excellent hearing and overheard their entire conversation, which filled her with a delightful, tingling sensation.
Touching his heart, he felt his heart race whenever it was about a young lady, as if a rabbit was jumping inside. It was a strange feeling that he liked.
The auction continues.
Finally, Shi Xing took a fancy to a set of jade jewelry.
These are a bracelet, a beaded necklace, earrings, and a ring, all extracted from a single rough stone.
All four pieces of jewelry are made of imperial green with excellent translucency. Putting aside the craftsmanship, their intrinsic value alone is considerable.
This four-piece set is suitable for mature women with some life experience. She can't wear it, but she can take a picture and send it back to her mother.
The four items were auctioned separately, and Shi Xing raised his paddle to bid on all four in a row.
Since it's a set, let's collect them all.
Madam Ren originally wanted to take the picture too, and she didn't stand on ceremony with Shi Xing, but she couldn't resist Shi Xing's wealth.
No one present could out-talk her.
Even with the price nearing 100 million, he remained calm and didn't even blink as he urged Xu Bai to raise the price further.
The price of the bracelet kept rising, and it was still being bid on even at 70 million.
The auctioneer smiled and said, "75.2 million, would you like to add another 800,000?"
The man hesitated for a moment, then added 800,000.
"Okay, 76 million!"
Xu Bai followed closely behind, increasing to 77 million.
They each added several million more to the price before the other party stopped raising it, and the bracelet became Shi Xing's.
When it came to the ring, the auctioneer enthusiastically called out the price.
"Mr. No. 69 has raised the bid to 45.8 million. Any other bids? We're offering 46 million. Mr. No. 69, would you like to raise the bid?"
The narrative continues.
"Okay, here's the price again at 46.5 million. Any bids higher?"
This ring is already very expensive at this price, so it wouldn't be worth it to go any higher. Besides, judging from Shi Xing's determined attitude, he probably can't win the competition.
No one raised the price further, and it eventually ended up in Shi Xing's hands.
Next came the necklaces, and in the end, the people still holding up signs were the same ones from the previous group.
They had hoped to at least get one item, but to their surprise, Shi Xing and his companion acquired it for 51 million yen.
There are still two items left, so don't rush, there's still a chance.
When it came to earrings, the price rose rapidly, reaching 40 million.
People started adding in increments of one million, then two million.
Finally, Shi Xing, growing impatient, asked Xu Bai to raise the price to 49 million.
Some people were indignant and challenged her to a higher price, but Shi Xing didn't care and kept raising the price.
Finally, I got this pair of double hoop earrings for 52.8 million.
All four items were snapped up by Tokiyuki alone.
They could continue to raise prices, but they were always afraid that if they did, no one would follow suit, and they would become the second unlucky ones.
So Shi Xing spent 233.3 million on this set of imperial green jewelry, which she felt was quite worthwhile.
A top-tier bracelet can cost nine figures, and all of hers together only amount to this much. Four pieces for 230 million isn't expensive.
Those present were aware of her financial resources; it wasn't that they couldn't afford it, but they were unwilling to pay a price far exceeding their expectations.
Besides, we shouldn't go too far; it's a way of saving face for everyone.
However, they were still secretly surprised that this girl, who looked so young, was so wealthy.
According to the younger generation, she seems to be the head of the family.
Wow, so young, but amazing!
It would be good to let the younger family members interact with her more often and cultivate a relationship.
Perhaps the son or grandson can get in touch with the other party, and if they develop feelings for each other, that would be even better.
