Chapter 195 The Envy of the Ladies
The auctioneer's gaze was too strong, not only Meng Yitong felt it, but also the other guests present.
When everyone saw Meng Yitong looking up, they couldn't help but start to get nervous.
The wife of Young Master Qin and Madam Qin haven’t had enough of the auction just now!
The rarity of a diamond necklace of this size and clarity should be far greater than the imperial green jade bracelet mentioned earlier.
Moreover, the design of this necklace is more suitable for young people. Shouldn’t Mrs. Qin, the young master, like it?
And Mrs. Qin, although her daughter-in-law was not present today, as the hero in the family who gave birth to twins, it would be so honorable to give this necklace back to her!
Seeing everyone's eyes on her, Mrs. Qin unconsciously straightened her posture.
With the price at this point, there are only a few ladies and wives who can still participate in the auction on the spot.
The most capable ones should be himself and Meng Yitong.
But Meng Yitong just spent 100 million yuan on a bidding project, so she probably doesn’t have much cash left.
Just when Mrs. Qin was secretly thinking about whether she should bid with Meng Yitong again, she saw Meng Yitong simply changed her posture and continued to play with her mobile phone.
Mrs. Qin couldn't help but frowned when she saw this.
Without giving it much thought, Mrs. Qin knew why Meng Yitong looked down upon this necklace.
Qin Zhuoran's mother is a world-class jewelry master, and her jewelry brand is an international luxury brand.
With a mother-in-law like this, how could Meng Yitong lack jewelry!
Mrs. Qin is not the only one who has this idea.
All the ladies and wives present at the scene began to look at Meng Yitong unconsciously.
Meng Yitong's outfit today is very simple and low-key.
Unlike other young ladies' evening gowns, Meng Yitong was wearing a black mid-length Chanel-style jacket today.
The coat only reaches the top of the thigh, and is paired with black slim-fit pencil pants.
On his feet were a pair of high-top black Martin boots.
The only bright color on her today was probably the pearl necklace that was wrapped three times around her neck.
Just by looking at the color and size of the pearls in that pearl necklace, you can tell it is very expensive.
There is also the faint reflection of light from her wrist, which shows at a glance that it is also a diamond bracelet of extremely high size and clarity.
At this moment, the ladies and wives present couldn't help but begin to envy Meng Yitong.
This person is so lucky!
Jewelry is a considerable expense for people like them.
If they always wear a set of jewelry when attending banquets on weekdays, they will easily be laughed at by others.
In order to save face and for the family's reputation, they had to pay the money.
However, the real good things cannot be bought with money.
Some high-quality jewellery can often only be seen at such auctions.
At this time, you want it, and others want it too. After everyone bids on it, these jewelry will often be sold at a considerable premium.
That is why jewelers are increasingly looking for rare goods.
High-quality jewelry will not be sold to the public casually. If you want to buy it, you can only participate in the auctions they hold.
However, the threshold for this auction is very high. If you want to get an invitation, you have to become a VIP of these jewelry brands.
The invitation letters issued by these jewelry auctions are also divided into different grades for customers of different consumption levels.
In order to qualify for jewelry auctions, these ladies have to buy many items that they don't like from the stores of these jewelry brands every year.
It would have been fine if everyone was like this in the past, but now with Meng Yitong as a comparison, everyone couldn't help but feel particularly envious.
Seeing that Madam Qin was not interested, the auctioneer immediately turned his attention to Madam Qin.
Mrs. Qin, who had been sitting upright just now, now looked as if it had nothing to do with her and was indifferent.
As soon as the auctioneer saw her expression, he knew there was no hope.
That’s right! This kind of diamond necklace is generally more popular among young ladies. Although Mrs. Qin looks well-maintained, one can tell from her expression that she is not young anymore.
In addition, considering how she bid for the imperial green jadeite bracelet before, the auctioneer knew without much thought that the lady's preference must not be this diamond necklace.
While the auctioneer was hesitating, the bidding gradually stopped.
The auctioneer asked unwillingly, "64.2 million!"
"Is there any higher one?"
"64.2 million once!"
"64.2 million times!"
"No one has bid yet?"
In fact, the price of 64.2 million is not low, but compared with the previous jade bracelet, this auction price is really unsatisfactory.
In addition to the auctioneer, there was someone present who apparently thought the same.
Just as the auctioneer called out the price for the third time and was about to drop the hammer, Su Jinyu, who was sitting in the first row, suddenly raised her sign and said, "66 million!"
Everyone present was attracted by Su Jinyu's voice.
Even Meng Yitong put down her phone and looked forward. When she saw that the person holding the sign was Su Jinyu, Meng Yitong couldn't help but be surprised.
When Meng Yitong first saw this necklace, she didn't think it was anything special.
After all, compared to the pile of jewellery given to her by Zhuo's mother, this necklace can only be considered ordinary.
When the ladies were competing to bid, Meng Yitong thought they were deliberately bidding at a premium.
After all, there were quite a few premium items tonight. Not to mention anything else, just the dozens of paintings by Meng Wanbai were sold for nearly 10 million. If it weren't for the occasion and theme of tonight, her paintings would never have been sold at this price.
Meng Yitong just checked online and found that paintings by the country's top painters only cost about 200,000 or 300,000 yuan each!
The bidding prices for Meng Wanbai's paintings tonight are already on the same level as those of contemporary masters.
And the most important thing is that she didn’t just auction a few paintings tonight.
Just these dozens of paintings tonight would be enough to significantly raise Meng Wanbai's overall value.
It was precisely because Meng Wanbai's paintings were priced at such a high premium that Meng Yitong was not very interested in the items on the auction floor.
After all, Meng Yitong, who came from an ordinary family, had never been exposed to so many good things before, and her vision and value estimation of these things were really not that good.
Precisely because she knows her own limitations, Meng Yitong has been watching the situation change.
But now Su Jinyu's reaction finally made Meng Yitong understand why she had come to her to say those words before.
It was highly likely that Second Aunt Meng wanted to find someone or an auction item to liven up the occasion today, and she did not take on this task.
Later, Aunt Meng entrusted this matter to Su Jinyu.
After Su Jinyu took out her jewelry, she felt unwilling to give up. That's why he came here to vent his anger.
At this moment, Su Jinyu suddenly turned around and looked at Meng Yitong.
The two people's eyes met at the same time.
