Chapter 69: Admitting Mistakes?
It's just that when the host announced: "The reserve price is 9 million gold coins." Everyone fell silent, and Paula sighed softly, as if she had given up on the bid.
Zhang Yilan was amazed at the value of the blue crystal nucleus, and looked with some expectation to see who this precious crystal nucleus would be.
It's just that when the host announced the reserve price, the scene was silent and quiet.
Some familiar rich nobles made eye contact, full of defense against each other, needless to say that these three blue crystal nuclei would definitely make a certain force have an extra blue-level master.
In the marginal area where the purple aristocracy is almost unborn, the blue master is already considered to be the top, no wonder the atmosphere is a little weird.
Zhang Yilan also felt that Edward seemed to be a little hesitant with his keen perception, but he had already had a huge amount of gold coins before, and he was afraid that he didn't have so much financial resources this time.
But in the end, there was still a big man with deep pockets who made a bid: "Ten million gold coins."
"Okay, Viscount Aine bid 10 million gold coins, is there anything higher?" The host and auctioneer was very excited, and the bald bald head glistened in the light, looking a little greasy.
Soon, another bid was made. A wrinkled white-haired old man bid: "Fifteen million gold coins."
When the price came here, Zhang Yilan could only be amazed, it seems that there are still rich people in this world. She also felt a sense of urgency, as if her little capital had become insignificant.
Zhang Yilan suddenly looked forward to Jacqueline's invitation to take a photo and be a model, it is much better to have a job with money than to sit on a mountain and eat nothing.
Thinking like this, the price has reached 20 million gold coins, and in the end, the Viscount of Ayn, who had made a bid before, stopped talking.
Only a long-haired man and a wealthy old lady were fighting, and finally the noblewoman stopped going crazy, and the long-haired man auctioned the three blue crystal nuclei at a high price of 25 million.
Zhang Yilan, like everyone else, also looked at this long-haired man who was hidden deeply. I saw that he was wearing a high-end custom suit, and his long bangs blocked his forehead, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly.
But Zhang Yilan, who has always been more accurate, still feels that this long-haired man is a little familiar, very similar to the one who fainted at the gate of the community that night before.
But that day was too far away, and he didn't see the true face of the long-haired man. Still a little unsure, if it was the long-haired man that Edward saved that night, why did Edward look like he didn't know him?
Zhang Yilan chuckled, as if she was a little suspicious of herself. I must have been too nervous lately to recognize the wrong person.
Looking back at Edward, sitting dignified and straight, this young talent attracted many young girls. And Edward himself has adapted to being admired, and has always maintained a gentle smile there.
And he also seemed to sense that Zhang Yilan was secretly looking at him from time to time, and he would be caught. The two looked at each other, and there was an awkward and sweet atmosphere in the air.
The first to be unhappy was Paula sitting next to Zhang Yilan, she still maintained her demeanor, but the movements in her hands were too hard, and Zhang Yilan's hands were painful.
Zhang Yilan didn't have a seizure now, and tried to push the messy hand away with her other hand, but it didn't have any effect. Instead, with a dangerous smile at Shang Paula, Zhang Yilan had to temporarily back down.
And Zhang Yilan's forbearance undoubtedly made Paula feel a lot better, but she still deliberately blocked Edward and prevented Zhang Yilan from flirting with Edward.
Zhang Yilan saw that the auction was nearing the end, and there were some high-priced auction items, and she couldn't afford them. He grabbed a small piece of cake on the table and took a bite.
felt that the taste was good, there was a kind of egg fragrance and the slight spicy taste of onions, Zhang Yilan also handed Paula a piece and said, "Paula, you taste it, it tastes good."
Paula took the cake, took a bite of it, and then put it back on the plate, staring at the auction item in front of her.
Zhang Yilan continued to bite the cake and asked in a good mood: "Paula, what's wrong?" Why don't you eat it? As he spoke, he took a big bite and ate it with relish.
Paula caught the freshly bitten cake in her mouth with a tissue, frowned and said, "Ah, I don't like to eat onions."
Zhang Yilan saw that she didn't seem to like this, so she no longer forced her, but whispered about some of the clothes that the ladies wore today.
Didn't buy what she wanted, and Paula didn't feel remorseful. When I heard about my favorite topic, I chatted with interest.
Paula inadvertently glanced at Zhang Yilan's thin waist, and there was a hint of possessiveness in her eyes.
She has always paid attention to her personal image in front of others, and she will not force Zhang Yilan to do anything. Instead, he talked about how fashionable the evening dress designed by Ms. Jacqueline was, showing off the beautiful curves of women.
Zhang Yilan felt that Paula's eyes were staring at her all the time, and she also felt a feeling of furry in her heart. Although she also likes to be admired, the exclusivity in Paula's eyes is too obvious, which makes her feel a little like she is on pins and needles.
Zhang Yilan's good personal cultivation has allowed her to maintain politeness all the time, and the two thoughtful women chatted happily like this, just like two real best friends, so relaxed.
The auction was almost over, and the two of them were chatting with their ears and buying nothing. Zhang Yilan was completely pressed by Paula, and she didn't even have a chance to raise her cards.
And Paula obviously didn't like those gadgets, but Anna, who was transparent on the side, bought some practical fire runes that were bundled and sold.
Zhang Yilan only learned from Paula's explanation that this fire rune could store a certain amount of flame energy, which could be used to refine and burn something.
Zhang Yilan suddenly realized that the fire rune was really a good thing. In the end, Zhang Yilan also felt that she had come in vain, after all, it was a bit unreasonable not to buy something and donate some money at the charity party.
So Zhang Yilan saw some of the nobles' precious daily necessities presented on the stage at the end, and decided to buy one.
After picking, Zhang Yilan saw a thick dictionary, and thought of reading a book in the room before, and she didn't know many words on the book on religious beliefs.
It seems that since his rebirth, Arres's memories have only instinctively stored a little in his body. Looking at the text here, some of them look like Chinese characters, and many of them are very remote.
Zhang Yilan still decided to buy a dictionary, and when she went back to read the book, she could recognize a few more words. Paula felt a little strange and asked, "Arres, what are you buying a dictionary for?"
Zhang Yilan saw that Paula chose an oil painting that looked indescribable, and she couldn't appreciate it. He replied, "Yes, buy a dictionary and use it to read it."
"Then what if you don't know the words before?"
"You can ask the tutor if you don't know the words before, but now you can only check it yourself here......"
