Wow!
The price has doubled!
Even if you have money, you shouldn't be so extravagant.
The audience erupted in uproar.
Mother He's eyelids twitched, equally shocked by Cheng Yi. The price Cheng Yi called out sounded like it was being pulled from her own purse, like it was dripping blood.
He Yuan said in a low voice, "Mom, the Cheng family is very rich. Ten thousand yuan is just a drop in the ocean for them. Don't feel sorry for Xiaoyi."
"But..." Mrs. He was restless, "Won't Xiaoyi's biological mother scold her for spending the Cheng family's money so lavishly?"
"No, Mom," He Yuan tried his best to reassure her. "Xiao Yi's dress alone costs hundreds of thousands, so buying a necklace worth a few hundred thousand is nothing."
Mother He still felt that asking for 100,000 right off the bat was too extravagant. The He family's annual living expenses had never reached 100,000. If it were her, she would definitely have asked for less... Although Mother He didn't really want to admit it, she had a vague idea that Cheng Yi was actually living a life in the Cheng family that she could not even imagine.
No matter how tough it gets, it won't be worse than staying at the He family's house.
Then, someone casually raised the price to 120,000 and then gave it to Cheng Yi.
Cheng Yi won the bid for the diamond necklace, and Ye Shuping said with satisfaction, "Very good, let's bid for the next item in the same way. As long as it's not too outrageous, we can buy them all."
Cheng Yi nodded, and when it came to the second item, she still bid for it at double the price.
Mother He said with heartache, "This is all money!"
Why spend so much money on these worthless gems?
He Yuan reassured her again: "Mom, Xiaoyi is coming tonight to represent the Cheng family in doing charity work and to enhance the Cheng family's reputation."
Mother He still couldn't get over it: "But...but this is too much..."
But she felt better and suddenly found a reason for Cheng Yi's extravagance.
Even if she wears a dress worth hundreds of thousands of yuan and takes pictures of items worth tens of thousands of yuan, it's all just for show for the Cheng family, and doesn't mean that the Cheng family truly loves Cheng Yi.
Unless... the Cheng family gives Cheng Yi enough money to buy these things herself.
He Yuan glanced at his mother's face and said in a deep voice, knowing what was going on, "I will also participate on behalf of the company later. Mom, don't worry too much. The money from tonight's auction will come from the company's account."
Mother He could only suppress her heartache: "Okay, Xiao Yuan."
She really couldn't adapt.
She desperately wanted Cheng Yi to turn around and look at her, but Cheng Yi was only focused on talking to Ye Shuping. The two chatted happily, like a mother and daughter who had grown up together.
Cheng Yi would even do things to Ye Shuping that he had never done to her before, such as resting his head on Ye Shuping's shoulder and rubbing it gently, as obedient as a cat.
Cheng Yi would at most just snuggle up to her.
Mother He felt a pang of sadness.
...
The fifth item in the auction was a colorful vase, which appeared to be from the Qing Dynasty. Experts have confirmed that it is genuine.
This vase immediately piqued the interest of the big players who hadn't yet made a move, and they all placed bids:
"150,000."
"170,000."
Two hundred thousand.
...
He Yuan's bid was also among them.
Cheng Yi raised his sign as always: "Two hundred and one thousand."
As soon as she finished speaking, she froze, turned around in surprise, and saw He Yuan... and his mother beside him.
Suddenly, Cheng Yi felt dizzy.
She didn't understand why He's mother was here today!
Why didn't you tell her beforehand?
