Chapter 86: Crystal Tears
A magnetic and sexy voice sounded in the center of the auction, like a huge stone falling into the calm sea, instantly stirring up a thousand layers of wind and waves.
Those present looked at the source of the sound.
"This is Mr. Cheng of the Cheng Group, he is really generous, so, is there anyone higher than 25 million?"
When the host recognized Cheng Liting's identity, he immediately put on a smile on his face, and bowed his head and looked very flattering.
"Mr. Cheng, there's no need to raise the price so high, this jade pot will be auctioned for a maximum of 21 million."
An Yanxi lowered her voice and said beside Cheng Liting, although she didn't pay attention to the clarity of the scene just now, she also heard a few words, the price of 19 million was almost closed, which shows that no one is willing to pay 20 million, and Cheng Liting directly paid 25 million is really unnecessary.
"I'd love to."
A man spit out three words lightly, and he didn't look at An Yanxi.
"Hehehe...... You go on, go on. ”
It's better to buy the whole auction and what's the matter with her, she's so nosy!
"Brother, did you take a picture of this jade pot to give to grandpa?"
It was Liu Yiyan who spoke, she was sitting next to An Yanxi, although she didn't hear what she said to Cheng Liting clearly, but from her suddenly ugly face, she felt that the chat between the two of them must not be very pleasant, so she hurriedly opened her mouth to break the situation.
"Yes, grandpa must have liked it."
"Yes, we haven't been abroad to see grandpa for a year, and we can just go to see his old man after taking pictures of this jade pot." When Liu Yiyan mentioned the word "grandpa", his fair little face was full of sweet smiles.
"In a word, why haven't I heard you say that you still have a grandfather." An Yanxi was pulled out from the unpleasantness just now and asked suspiciously.
"Well, my grandfather has been living abroad, and he is not in very good health, so I haven't said much."
"So, he should be very old, right?"
Chairman Cheng is already in his fifties.
"Well, yes, I'm seventy-nine years old this year."
While the two were talking, the second auction had begun.
Of course, An Yanxi and Liu Yiyan did not have any interest in the second auction item.
However, there is one person at this time who is interested in everything here.
Lin Jingling, who was in the center of the second row, looked at the things on the stage with great interest, and her eyes burst out with a strong desire, everything here is unique, and no matter which one she gets, it is a very glorious thing.
This can prove her identity.
It proves that she is no longer the poor bastard she used to be raised only by her sister.
Minutes and seconds passed.
Soon came the fourth lot.
A long-lost necklace - Crystal Tears.
Legend has it that the necklace belonged to a maid in the palace at the height of the Qing Dynasty, who regarded it as a treasure because it was given to her by the emperor. Since then, the necklace has been guarded by her, and later the most favored lady knew about it and ordered the necklace to be snatched and taken for herself. The maidservant was unwilling, the necklace was all her hopes, she was born humble, lived many miserable days in the palace, and only thought that after leaving the palace at the age of twenty-five, she could buy a house outside the city to spend her old age.
And the necklace that the emperor rewarded her was enough for her to fulfill her wish.
When her hopes and wishes were brutally destroyed, she chose to set fire to herself, and her death was quite tragic, and since then the palace has not been late at night to hear the maid's miserable cry, and things have become more and more intense, and finally it has evolved into a maid who died unjustly, so the ghost remains in the yang world in order to avenge herself.
It happened that there was a plague during that time, and many people died in and out of the palace, that is, at night during that time, more and more people heard the cry of the maidservant, and naturally some people linked the two things together, and the rumors immediately turned into the fact that there were noses and eyes.
The matter alarmed the emperor, he ordered an investigation, and later found out that the maid's necklace was taken away by the harem of the mother, he wanted to keep the matter secret, but I don't know how the matter got out, and the people in the huge palace all knew about it overnight.
The emperor couldn't hide it, and he couldn't stop everyone's mouth, and finally he found a reason to execute Niangniang.
I don't know if it was to calm the rumors, or if he really believed that there were unjust souls, anyway, a necklace led to the tragic death of two young and beautiful women.
The necklace was ordered to be destroyed by the emperor, but the little eunuch who was in charge of this matter at that time needed money for treatment because his old mother was seriously ill, and after some hesitation, he left the necklace privately and found an opportunity to send it out of the palace.
Since then, the necklace has flowed into the people, and all the things that happened in the palace have flowed into the people before the necklace, and the people have spread falsehoods, and the matter has finally evolved into a necklace that lives in a god who specializes in punishing greedy people.
Since then, the necklace has been hailed as a hoodoo by later generations, and no one dares to own it.
Because people are greedy.
The necklace was collected by a mysterious person after many years of wind and frost, and it took nearly two years to regain the news of the necklace, and why this necklace was put up for auction is something that no one can guess anyway.
It was just a minute before the auction of Crystal Tears began, when Liu Yiyan saw Lin Jingling sitting in the front row of them.
"Yan Xi, look, who is that!"
Looking at Liu Yiyan's line of sight, An Yanxi also saw the woman she hated to the core.
"What is she doing here?" She subconsciously frowned, her face full of disgust.
"Could it be, did you steal that thing from me?"
Liu Yiyan became nervous, his hand clutched the corner of his clothes tightly, what Shizuka said to her should have been said to Lin Jingling.
"In a word, what the hell is that thing you're talking about?"
An Yanxi narrowed his eyes and stared straight at the fourth auction item that was about to be revealed on the stage.
"Yes, yes......"
As soon as Liu Yiyan spoke, the loud voice of the host on the stage rang out.
"Now let's talk about our fourth sale, but I don't think I need to introduce it too much, because more than half of the people here today are here specifically for this necklace. I don't know who this crystal tear will fall into today's hands, and whether that one will happen like the previous owners of the legendary crystal tears......"
The host's words brought An Yanxi back to a memory two years ago.
The headlines of the day's major news were dominated by a necklace called "Crystal Tears", and thousands of words were written about its legend and the tragic fate of its previous owners.
As soon as the news came out, everyone's curiosity was immediately aroused, and those people who had nothing to do with the wealth and leisure wanted to own this necklace, firstly because they didn't believe in that bullshit legend at all, and secondly, even if everyone didn't believe it but no one said it, so the person who owned the necklace would definitely be fine, since it was okay, then he could boast that he didn't have any greed, an honest and good person.
With a necklace as a witness, he can portray himself as an angelic person, a title that is in high demand in today's society.
Thinking of this, An Yanxi could basically be sure that Lin Jingling came for this necklace, and she would do everything she could to get this necklace.
"Yan Xi, look, look at it, that's the Crystal Tears! It's beautiful. ”
Liu Yiyan's excited voice sounded beside An Yanxi.
She put her eyes into the glass case on the table, and a turquoise necklace appeared in front of her, and a pendant resembling a drop of water was inlaid with a fiery red gemstone, which emitted a dazzling and dazzling light in the light.
There is nothing special about the necklace itself.
An Yanxi sighed silently, gritted her teeth and concentrated, she had to come up with the next countermeasures as soon as possible.
"The starting price of this necklace of crystal tears is 16.66 million, and now, it is the official start of the auction!"
When the words fell, everyone scrambled to raise the sign in their hands.
"17,660,000 ......"
"Eighteen million six hundred and sixty thousand...... The gentleman over there came out 19,660,000, and the lady over here is 19,660,000......"
The host's voice kept ringing.
The signs in the table were raised again and again.
Liu Yiyan was dressed roughly, a layer of sweat appeared in her palms, she stared nervously at the necklace on the stage, as if talking to herself, and seemed to say to An Yanxi, "I must get this necklace, Shizuka once said that she likes this necklace." I also feel that no one in this world is worthy of this necklace except Shizuka, because she is the best and kindest person in the world. ”
Liu Yiyan's words fell into An Yanxi's ears word for word.
Her nose was sour, and her eyes were misty, she did say that, but it was just a casual statement, how could she never have expected Liu Yiyan to put her words in her heart two years ago, let alone that two years later, she would resolutely take this necklace for her.
Moved, apologetic, guilty, regret these emotions are mixed together and tumbling in An Yanxi's heart, stirring her extremely uncomfortable, the only thing that can make her feel better is the tears that flow silently in her eyes.
Liu Yiyan's full attention was on the stage, Cheng Liting was pretending to sleep with his eyes closed at this time, and he was not interested in what his sister liked, he just needed to ask the assistant to pay the money for a while.
Nothing else has anything to do with him.
So, he missed a perfect opportunity.
An opportunity that will allow him to get into someone's heart faster.
An Yanxi's tears were still flowing, his vision in front of him was blurred, and the sound of the host constantly quoting money and noisy discussions in his ears kept ringing.
In just one minute, the price has been raised to 26.66 million.
"Wow, this price should be the highest of all our auction items today, I wonder if anyone is willing to increase the price next?"
The host smiled like a flower and asked the people present.
Less than two seconds after his words fell, Liu Yiyan grabbed the number plate in his hand and raised it with a torch, "Thirty million!" ”
"Wow, 30 million, no, no, no, I'd better retreat."
"I'm going to continue, I'm going to take this necklace back today and give it to my daughter!"
"You play, you play, my goal today was not this necklace."
“……”
After all the voices disappeared, a crisp and beautiful female voice rang out next, "Thirty-two million!" ”
It was Lin Jingling who spoke, she turned her head to look at Liu Yiyan behind her, with a provocative smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Slut, you dare to rob me of something without looking at your identity!"
Liu Yiyan squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth, her beautiful eyes were full of hatred, and in the next second, she raised the sign again without hesitation, "Thirty-five million!" ”
She wanted to see how much money that slut had, and even if her brother blamed her today, she would be ugly.
"Thirty-six million!"
Lin Jingling shouted unhurriedly, with a subtle conspiracy hidden in his eyes.
"Thirty-eight million!"
Liu Yiyan's gaze moved from the crystal necklace on the stage to Lin Jingling, and every time she shouted the price, her mood was better.
She guessed why Lin Jingling took this necklace, because she wanted to indirectly prove to everyone that she was a kind-hearted person, and that a kind-hearted person would not have anything bad to happen to her if she had this necklace.
She doesn't want her to succeed!
"This young lady has come out of thirty-eight million, thirty-eight million! Is there anyone else going to keep raising the price? ”
"Thirty-nine million!"
It's Lin Jingling again, she is still not in a hurry, but the smile on the corner of her mouth is getting brighter and brighter.
"Four Thousand ......"
As soon as Liu Yiyan's hand was raised, he was pressed down hard.
