Chapter 126: Bidding
Yun Qing noticed Huo Chuan’s gaze, but she paid no attention. She did not even look at him as she found herself a seat and sat down.
Yun Qi and Meng Hong sat by her side, attracting the attention of many people.
She was already having a scandal with these two people, and now she had appeared at the same time with the both of them. This made people’s imaginations run wild.
The auction officially began. The first item on display was a pearl necklace with an extremely good color.
Yun Qing looked at the sparkling pearl necklace and her eyes flew wide open.
She had always liked pearls, and this first item on display hit the spot for her.
“Eight hundred thousand.”
At the start of the auction, someone had bid eight hundred thousand.
“1,000,000.”
Yun Qing felt that 800,000 was still a little low, so she added 200,000.
“1,500,000.”
It was Huo Chuan who made the bid.
Yun Qing looked at Huo Chuan and saw that his expression did not change. He was staring at the string of pearls with a heavy gaze.
She was a little confused — this was clearly a lady’s accessory. Why would Huo Chuan bid against her?
Could it be that he bought it for Huo Qing or Sun Lan? Or had he found a new lover?
Yun Qing did not want Huo Chuan to snatch the necklace away, so she bid again, “Two million.”
The price of two million was enough to make everyone at the scene gasp.
How could this pearl necklace be worth two million?
Before everyone could regain their senses, Huo Chuan bid again, “Two million and five hundred thousand.”
Yun Qing was stunned and looked at Huo Chuan again.
Was he doing this on purpose?
“2,700,000!”
Just as Yun Qing was hesitating whether to continue bidding, Meng Hong, who was beside her, suddenly called out.
Yun Qing looked at Meng Hong in disbelief — he had just only debuted as an artist. 2,700,000 should not be a small amount to him.
“Meng Hong, you don’t have to do this for me.”
Yun Qing moved closer to Meng Hong and advised him softly.
Meng Hong smiled and said, “Don’t you want it very much?”
“There are so many pearl necklaces. It’s not worth spending such a high price for this one.”
Yun Qing was inexplicably touched that Meng Hong was willing to spend such a sum of money for her, but she still did not want Meng Hong to spend this money in vain.
Huo Chuan’s expression turned even uglier when he saw Meng Hong raising the price for Yun Qing.
“2,700,000 going once.”
“2,700,000 going twice.”
“3,000,000.”
Just when everyone thought that was the end of the affair, Huo Chuan raised the price even higher.
Everyone’s eyes were on Huo Chuan.
Only President Huo had the financial ability to spend 3,000,000 on a pearl necklace, right?
Yun Qing was also shocked by Huo Chuan’s bid. Was Huo Chuan doing this to compete with her?
He was willing to waste this much money just to prevent her from getting the pearl necklace?
After the auctioneer confirmed it three times, Huo Chuan finally got the pearl necklace for 3,000,000 yuan.
The second item on display was a sapphire tie clip passed down from a European royal family.
Meng Hong’s eyes lit up when he saw the tie clip.

“Isn’t that the work of Master Edward?”
Meng Hong looked at the tie clip with joy and regarded it as a treasure.
“Edward?”
Yun Qing was unfamiliar with this field, so she asked in puzzlement.
Meng Hong smiled and explained to Yun Qing, “Edward was a master craftsman from the pages of history. This is his work.
“I’m afraid you’ll laugh at me if I tell you this. I studied design before. If I didn’t become a star by chance, I would be a designer now.”
“Mr. Edward is the designer I respect the most. I’m already satisfied to be able to see his work.”
As he spoke, Meng Hong’s eyes sparkled.
Yun Qing looked at him and knew that he was truly passionate.
Huo Chuan saw the way the two of them were whispering to each other. He really wanted to sit next to Yun Qing and listen to what they were talking about.
When the bidding officially began, Meng Hong could not wait to call out the first price. “1,000,000!”
From this price, it could be seen that he really wanted this tie clip.
