The auction starts promptly at 7 p.m.

Gong Lingye originally wanted to send Gu Tingxue to Gu Zhiyun's side, but Gu Zhiyun was with two old friends, which was not very convenient, so he let Gu Tingxue stay on Gong Lingye's side.

The auction was held in an antique courtyard in H City, which is said to be more than 200 years old, and the three-story attic where everyone is located at the moment is also a hundred years old.

Because Gong Lingye was coming over temporarily, the private room on the second floor was already full, and the three of them didn't particularly want it, so they also sat on the first floor.

The first few lots were the four treasures of the study and some ornaments, and after a while, they finally arrived at the calligraphy and painting that Gu Zhiyun fancied.

Although there were several competitors, he quickly won the auction at a price that he could still accept.

A few more lots passed, until, the pink diamond ring was presented.

"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Gu Tingxue looked at the introduction on the big screen and couldn't help but admire: "Even if it is customized, it is rare to see such a beautiful pink diamond." ”

Although she praised her own things for being good-looking, Song Yiren was inexplicably uncomfortable, and she said: "The works of famous designers and diamonds with good color are naturally beautiful." ”

When Gong Lingye heard this, he glanced at Song Yiren beside him.

His instincts told him that she seemed a little unhappy.

Is she minding Gu Tingxue and is she jealous?

Or is it because you like the ring, so the mood is not right?

He grabbed Song Yiren's shoulder, held her in his arms, and leaned into her ear: "Nuan Nuan, like this ring?"

Song Yiren didn't speak.

Her belongings, lost in an accident and picked up, were brought to auction a few years later and sold at a clear price.

This feeling is as if someone has touched their own things, which makes people feel extremely uncomfortable!

Gong Lingye saw that Song Yiren didn't speak, but his eyes looked at the ring, and he knew a little in his heart.

On the stage, the auctioneer announced after the introduction: "The starting price is 10 million, and the price increase shall not be less than 50,000 yuan each time." ”

He had just announced the start of the auction when someone was holding up a sign below.

Song Yiren's irritability had almost accumulated to the peak, and beside him, Gu Tingxue said with a smile: "There are more young girls who came over today, I feel that it can reach 20 million!"

As she spoke, she picked up the tea on the table, poured a cup for Gong Lingye and Song Yiren, and picked up a cup herself and began to drink it.

The bidding below became more and more in full swing, and Song Yiren stood up suddenly: "I'll go to the bathroom." ”

"Miss Yu, I'm ...... too" Gu Tingxue was choking on the tea as she spoke, and then she began to cough violently.

On the side, Gong Lingye handed over a tissue: "Listen to Xue, are you okay?"

When Song Yiren saw this picture, her mood instantly hit the bottom, and when she strode in the direction of the bathroom, she heard Gu Tingxue's cough, and a deep male voice was particularly penetrating: "Fifteen million." ”

It was the price reported by Gong Ling at night, and the sign in his hand was held up before he could put it down.

The previous person was still eleven million, and he added four million at once.

What did he do when he suddenly bid for it? Is it for Gu Tingxue?

Because, from beginning to end, Gu Tingxue showed that she particularly liked the ring.

Just when Song Yiren hadn't thought about what Gong Lingye meant, suddenly, everyone only felt that there was a shake in the ground.

Obviously, everyone present also noticed it.

However, the previous shaking had disappeared for less than a second, and immediately, a huge shaking struck violently, and almost instantly, all the people sitting on it fell to the ground.

Song Yiren was no exception, she had already reached the hallway, and the sudden shaking made her barely hold on to the wooden pillars next to her.

But at the same time, it was visible to the naked eye that huge ripples seemed to appear in the air, and the ground began to rise and fall with the ripples, and the invisible wind gave people a sense of urgency like a death horn.

Everything happened in such a moment, so fast that everyone didn't have time to react, and even, the scene was very quiet, maintaining the moment when the palace was asking for money at night.

Song Yiren was still in place, and he could still hear Gu Tingxue's cough from a distance of a few meters in his ears.

But the hustle and bustle in the air exploded suddenly in a second, and then, above the head, I don't know what was broken, and then, first, the dust fell, and then the collapse of the main beam!

The ground was still undulating, and at the moment when the main beam fell, someone finally reacted and screamed.

Two words also suddenly appeared in the brains of the Song Yi people: earthquake.

"Nuan Nuan!" Gong Ling shouted at Song Yiren at night, and he was about to get up from the ground when there was another violent sound in his ears.

Because of the collapse of the main beam, this three-story century-old attic was crumbling almost instantly.

Things kept breaking, and those hundred-year-old wooden pieces and precious carved columns all fell down like rain.

Song Yiren's heart almost rose to her throat, and there was no triangle to avoid where she was, once she was hit by something......

Obviously, everyone found out that it was an earthquake, and they wanted to run when they got up from the ground, but the ground shook so violently that people just got up and fell down again, and for a while, the huge auction site was full of screams and cries of pain.

Gong Lingye had just gotten up and was about to go over to Song Yiren's side, when his legs were hugged.

As soon as he lowered his head, he saw Gu Tingxue's face was pale, her chest was heaving, and she seemed to be about to faint.

"Listen to the snow. He went to pull her hand holding his leg, but maybe when people are facing death, their body's instinct will burst out with a strong desire to survive, so Gu Tingxue grabbed it tightly, and Gong Lingye couldn't pull her away at all for a while.

And in such a short period of time, there was a sudden sound on the ground, like a dragon roaring, and in an instant, the surrounding lights flickered, and then, the third floor fell directly.

Song Yiren was close to the wall of the corridor, a few meters away, she saw Gu Tingxue fainting, and then Gong Lingye bent over to protect her, and then, her eyes shook for a moment, and then, the sky above the two floors completely collapsed.

The distance between them was less than ten meters, and there was a sharp noise whistling in their ears, and the moment Song Yiren saw something fall down, Gong Lingye protected Gu Tingxue in his arms, and then, his vision went completely black.

She curled the corners of her lips slightly.

Something smashed on her forehead, and suddenly there was warmth flowing down, blurring Song Yiren's eyes.

In the moment when the darkness went down, Gong Lingye saw Song Yiren glance at him, and the strangeness and ridicule in his eyes were something he had never seen before.

He panicked and wanted to move, but something fell on top of his head, and then, his vision went dark.

Gu Tingxue's strength in holding his leg suddenly disappeared, he could barely detect her heartbeat, and his back was also hit by something, and a fishy sweetness surged in his throat.
