Before the auction even started, Su Yiqing handed the bidding paddle to the little dumpling, saying, "Little Softie, take this paddle. If you see a stone you like, just raise your paddle and buy it!"
Rosen, who was sitting right behind them, twitched at the corner of his eye, unable to imagine just how powerful the Su family really was now.
This jade appreciation event, though ostensibly about appreciating jade, attracted children from all over the country who brought their kids to broaden their horizons.
However, if you're not careful, you might end up spending tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars to buy a worthless piece of jade.
Moreover, this tasting event was disguised as a charity event, so once you were there, you felt embarrassed to leave without buying something.
And Su Yiqing actually dared to let a four-year-old kid play with it like that?
Loris was tempted by this scene. Last time, this little bitch dared to cheat her at the auction, so this time she was determined to get her revenge!
She tugged at Rosen's sleeve and pleaded, "Grandpa, Grandpa, can you give me a card too?"
Rosen glared at his granddaughter. "Is this the time for you to play around? Wasn't it enough that you made me lose 20 million last time? Stay out of the way and behave yourself."
After a slight shock, Loris pouted, feeling a little wronged. Her grandfather had always doted on her the most and had never been so harsh with her before...
She stared venomously at the backs of Su Yiqing and Xiao Ruanruan's heads. It was this little brat's brother who was talking to Grandpa just now. He must have offended Grandpa, which is why she was scolded by him!
Although she's still young and couldn't possibly do anything to an adult, this little one...
One by one, the raw jade stones were brought onto the auction stage, and the atmosphere at the scene began to tense.
Rosen stared intently at the stone on the stage, not daring to be distracted for a moment, for fear of misjudging it.
Su Yiqing, who was sitting in front of him, was quite relaxed and even had the mind to chat with the little dumpling.
"Little Softie, don't you like any of these?"
The little dumpling shook its head, its eyebrows furrowed into waves, "Big brother, why do we need to buy these stones? They're all gray and small, not pretty at all!"
Ruan Ruan still prefers the auctions her second brother takes her to, where there are sparkly princess crowns and hair clips!
Su Yiqing gently ruffled the little dumpling's soft hair. "It's okay. Today, little softie, just buy some stones to play with. Big brother will take you to one of those auctions with bling-bling crowns and hair clips later."
"Okay!" The little dumpling nodded with a smile. "Then Ruanruan will buy the biggest gray stone!"
"Okay, buy whatever Ruanruan likes!"
"Tch—" Rosen couldn't help but chuckle when he heard the siblings' conversation.
Although Su Yiqing has a notorious reputation in the business world, he has always had bad luck when gambling. In previous years, when he came to the jade appreciation meeting, he would just casually buy a stone worth several million yuan to donate to charity.
I didn't expect to bring such a silly thing this year. As we all know, the larger the jade rough stone, the smaller the core inside may be, and it may even be a piece of waste.
As they were talking, a small cart had already pushed a rock that was so big that it would take one person to hug it onto the stage.
The host introduced, "This stone is the largest one at our jade appraisal event. As you can see, some of the jade color inside has already been revealed. The starting price is 500,000 yuan! Each bid must be at least 100,000 yuan higher."
As soon as the host finished speaking, whispers began to circulate below.
"The exposed jade-like color of this stone looks quite good."
"Such a large piece, with the jade color showing, and such a low starting price, it's probably just a small piece of jade shell, isn't it?"
...
Amid the murmurs, no one raised their paddle; clearly, no one dared to buy, even though 500,000 was not a large sum for these people.
But those who come here are all shrewd people. Knowing that the chances of winning are pitifully low, no one would throw away 500,000 yuan.
Just then, a sweet, childlike voice rang out, "Big brother, this rock is the biggest! But it's all gray, so ugly!"
The little dumpling's face was full of struggle. "But Ruanruan just said that Ruanruan wants to buy the biggest rock. Big brother said that we can't get fat from eating too much. So Ruanruan should buy this ugly big rock instead!"
As the little dumpling spoke, she raised her tender little hand without hesitation and stretched out her other little paw with five chubby fingers, "Pretty auntie, 500,000, Ruanruan will buy this stone!"
The host, who had initially thought the bid would go unsuccessful, found her smile softening and brightening upon hearing the sweet, milky voice, as soft and crisp as milk chocolate, and seeing the adorable little dumpling with big eyes.
"Number 8, 500,000 per time!"
"Five hundred thousand twice!"
...
Her gaze swept across the room. Loris tried to snatch the card from Rosen's hand to raise it, but Rosen glared at her fiercely and held her down firmly.
In the end, he could only glare fiercely at the little dumpling holding up the sign and give up.
"Five hundred thousand three times! Congratulations to bidder number 8 for winning jade stone number 56!"
The little dumpling bounced around adorably, wiggled its little bottom, and smiled sweetly, "Big brother, the biggest rock is the soft one!"
Su Yiqing's heart melted at her cuteness. She gently pinched her little nose and said, "Little Softie is so great!"
The little dumpling's big eyes sparkled when she smiled, as if they held a sky full of stars. When she glanced at Rosen, who had a tense face behind her, a flash of mockery crossed her eyes.
Lawson made three purchases today, and the stones he bought were not large, but the quality of the jade inside was quite good.
But compared to hers, well...
It was only when she saw the first rough stone that she realized she could actually see through the stone inside it.
"The Su family is really rich and powerful. They gave the bidding paddle to a little kid and let him spend 500,000 yuan to bid on a stone that looks worthless."
"You don't know this, do you? That child is the sister of the Su brothers, and she is the apple of their eye."
"Some time ago, Su Yiqing swept through auctions everywhere. It is said that the items she won were all deposited into bank safe deposit boxes in that girl's name."
"Tsk tsk..."
...
Amidst the whispers, the little girl proudly raised her head. She was spoiled by her brother, and she was proud!
Loris, standing behind her, was so angry she was practically grinding her teeth to powder. Last year, when the little idiot from before didn't come to participate, Grandpa had given her the sign to hold up once.
Although she bid according to her grandfather's instructions, it was still her shining moment.
But this year, that little idiot has stolen all the limelight!
She couldn't swallow this insult. She was determined to teach this little fool a lesson so that she would never dare to go out again or try to take things from her!
