Madam Is A Sensational Figure In The City Chapter 517 - 517: Just Return The Money To Me

Chapter 517 - 517: Just Return The Money To Me

The auction items on this cruise s.h.i.+p were of a higher grade than the ones in Tang Qing's family auction house.

It seems that the richer people are, the fonder they are of antiques. Hence, most of the auction items this time were antiques.

Yan Jinyi and Huo Xishen sat in the most central position that offered an excellent view.

Yan Jinyi was getting chagrined and frustrated when she watched the price of an ordinary vase go up to a million yuan.

'If I had known this when I was reborn, I would have negotiated with King Yama and ask him to let me go back to my era to get some bottles and jars before being reborn in this modern-day era. If I had done that, I would be the richest woman in this city now!'

"Darling, has anything caught your eye?" Huo Xishen suddenly asked.

"No."

'If you have so much money to spare on these fragile things that can't be touched or dropped and can only be used as ornaments, you might as well deposit the money into my bank account to generate some interest.'

'The interest that would be accrued from a deposit of a few million yuan would be quite a considerable amount.'

"Are you rich people all such wastrels?" Yan Jinyi asked, c.o.c.king her head to the side to stare at Huo Xishen.

Huo Xishen's thick eyebrows were slightly raised and he looked down to glance at her. "Huh?"

"What's so valuable about those things?" Yan Jinyi asked, pointing at the stage.

"They're great for collection."

'In fact, I'm quite old, I'm also from the ancient times and I'm still living now. I possess a higher collection value.'

Yan Jinyi smiled.

Huo Xishen knew she was a money-grubber so he reached his hand out to rub her hair comfortingly with a grin.

The penultimate auction item was a jade bracelet that was emerald green in color and had a realistic-looking golden phoenix carved on it.

Yan Jinyi subconsciously looked at her fair wrist and thought that it would look good on her.

The starting bid price was 1 million yuan and the bid increment was 100,000 yuan. At this moment, Huo Xishen raised the bidder sign and said, "Five million."

???

'What is Doggy Huo doing?'

"What are you doing?"

Huo Xishen did not answer and instead, stared at the stage with a burning gaze.

The people in the auction venue all knew who he was—the formidable big shot of the business circle. Who would dare to vie with him!?

Yan Jinyi watched as Huo Xishen bought the jade bracelet at a price of five million yuan.

"I won't dare to wear such an expensive bangle on my wrist. Return it and give me the refunded amount."

Huo Xishen smirked and said, "Darling, this bangle is not for you."

"…"

'Doggy Huo, you're so inhumane!'

Yan Jinyi suddenly felt like her face was burning up. 'd.a.m.n it, I set myself up for disappointment.'

Yan Jinyi looked like she was wis.h.i.+ng that she could strangle herself to death. When Huo Xishen saw that, he added, "Shen Yan's birthday is around the corner."

'Oh, really?'

'So this bangle is for Shen Yan.'

"It suits Shen Yan very well. Not bad, you've got a good taste."

Jade was very suitable for Shen Yan. It was as if she was born for it.

The last auction item was not an antique or anything like that, but a necklace designed by a renowned jewelry designer.

The designer had pa.s.sed away from a serious illness last year and the necklace was the last piece he designed before his death. It was unique and the only piece in the world.

Hence, it was coveted by many wives of wealthy men and rich heiresses.

However, no one expected it to end up at this auction.

The design of the necklace was inspired by deer antlers, and it was really exquisite and beautiful.

Many women were already tempted.

Yan Jinyi leaned back in her chair, stifled a lazy yawn and leaned over his shoulder slightly, "Lend me your shoulder, I'm getting a little sleepy."

Huo Xishen pressed his lips together without saying anything. He merely looked down at her tiny face. From this angle, he could have a clear view of her long and luscious eyelashes.

When the bid price of the necklace went up to seven million yuan, Huo Xishen slowly raised the sign and said in a cold and indifferent voice, "10 million yuan."

Yan Jinyi had almost fallen asleep but she was jolted awake by the bid of 10 million yuan that he placed.
