Even after entering the auction venue, Huo Jinning still couldn't remember what number it was.
He was constantly frowning.
until……
Xiao Liu [Ding! There's some gossip.]
This is absolutely amazing!
Are all rich people living such reckless lives?
[This person had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and exuded an upright aura, but I never expected...]
[His wife is also a very generous person; she even let her husband bring his daughter, whom he had with his mistress, to live with them. What's even more bizarre is that the girl also brought her best friend home to stay.]
[Her husband has taken a liking to her daughter's best friend, and her son has a crush on the mistress's daughter.]
Seeing her husband like this, she suspected that her daughter might not be her daughter either, so she had paternity tests done on both girls.
[Unexpectedly, the mistress's daughter and her husband weren't father and daughter; it was the daughter's best friend.]
[The son knew she wasn't his sister, but he insisted on marrying her, even going so far as to run away from home with the girl.]
[Her husband knew he loved his daughter and, recognizing the blood ties between father and daughter, treated her even better.]
[My God, I'm speechless.]
Huo Nanchu glanced at the person he was talking to and frowned slightly. Although Huo Jinning's words were rather general, he still understood the gist of it.
Huo Nanchu exchanged pleasantries with Huo Jinning.
Huo Jinning, on the other hand, focused on watching the drama unfold.
[This guy is really a loyal simp.]
[They were already married, but he moved next door to them and became their neighbor.]
[Just so I can see the person I like a few more times.]
I'm speechless.
Ugh, I don't know what to say about this.
[She didn't even know her child had been switched, and she was foolishly raising the other woman's child. Her own child was abandoned at an orphanage by the other woman, and her husband and the other woman were even plotting to seize her assets.]
[No, I need to quietly remind her.]
...
There are too many melons; we can't possibly finish them all.
...
The auction began shortly afterward.
The atmosphere at the scene was lively, with various raw stones displayed on the exhibition stand, lying there quietly and radiating a mysterious light.
The bidders surrounded the display stand, carefully examining each rough stone, their eyes sparkling with anticipation and excitement.
The auctioneer stood on the stage, his voice loud and passionate as he introduced the characteristics and potential value of each rough stone.
As the auction progressed, bids rose and fell, and the competition was fierce.
Some people made decisive bids, while others pondered and hesitated, creating a tense and exciting atmosphere.
At this auction, which is full of opportunities and challenges, every bid could mean an increase or loss of wealth.
Huo Jinning, who was enjoying the gossip, immediately turned her attention to the auction upon seeing this.
When rough stone number 14 was brought to the stage, the audience was immediately abuzz. People whispered and gossiped, wondering who would be so foolish as to spend five million to buy such an insignificant piece of broken stone.
At that moment, Huo Jinning suddenly remembered, yes! It was the rough stone numbered 14 right in front of her.
Before Qian Chengfeng could even open his mouth to bid, she raised her sign without hesitation.
After the five million was successfully sold, in accordance with the plot of the original book, the raw stone that had no bidders could only go unsold, but Qian Chengfeng suddenly won the bid for it for some unknown reason.
Now that I've taken the photos myself, money won't be a big deal anymore.
"This young lady, whom the Huo family has just found, seems to know nothing about these things. She even wants to fight over such a broken stone. She really lacks vision and knowledge."
"That's true, but after all, they have plenty of money."
"Even the wealthiest person shouldn't be so extravagant."
"The Huo family still cares about their reputation. The eldest daughter has already raised her paddle; it would be a slap in the face if they didn't take it."
......
Immediately, a barrage of sarcastic remarks filled the air, making the atmosphere somewhat awkward.
Faced with the pointing fingers and murmurs of the crowd, Huo Nanchu's face turned extremely ugly.
However, his good upbringing prevented him from publicly rebuking those who spoke rudely.
Huo Jinning gripped Huo Nanchu's sleeve tightly, looking at him with a determined yet anxious gaze: "Big brother, believe me, this really is an excellent product."
Huo Nanchu gently patted Huo Jinning's hand and comforted her, "Ningning, of course your brother believes in you, but I will never tolerate anyone slandering or belittling you in the slightest."
"So what if this stone is empty? As long as it's something you like, your older brother will support you without hesitation."
Huo Jinning felt deeply moved by her brother's trust and care, and said, "Brother is right. It's not worth getting angry over those insignificant people! We'll just split the stone right here and now and leave them speechless!"
When Huo Nan saw Huo Jinning's persistence, a look of admiration flashed in his eyes, and he nodded in agreement, "Alright, we'll do as you say. We'll follow Ningning's arrangements."
After they finished speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, their tacit understanding unspoken.
Huo Nanchu silently memorized the names of the people who had spoken earlier, a slight smile playing on his lips.
He let out a barely perceptible sneer: "Hmph! Do you really think the Huo family is weak and easy to bully?"
As the last piece of rough stone was auctioned off, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, because what followed was the long-awaited and thrilling stone-cutting process!
At this moment, those who bought the raw stone have two choices—either to cut it open on the spot in front of everyone and find out what's inside, or to find a quiet place to slowly figure out how to open this mysterious stone.
