"Here are all the auction items for tonight." From his seat, Kishen respectfully handed over a statement.

There wasn't much in this one, but it was all worth its weight in gold, and even such a small brochure was exquisitely printed.

Above it, participating in the auction, in addition to some personal collections like paintings and antiques, there was also a sapphire ring.

The first moment she saw it, her eyes were drawn to such a ring, vaguely familiar, but she couldn't recall where she'd seen it in said ring.

Seeing that she couldn't take her eyes off of it, Qichen reminded in a low voice, "This one, as the finale, should have a starting price of fifty, but Mr. Ren's intention is that you can take it all away if you like."

The money is coming out of Feng Yue's account, and if she takes it away, Ren Lords will have to smuggle the account to make up for this.

Though the money might not mean much to him, it was better not to add to such unnecessary favors.

It was not as good as a painting, hanging in the Feng Yue Group was still able to be admired and appreciated.

The organizers had arranged the location so cleverly that no sooner had she put down her brochure than someone sat down in the seat next to her.

It happened to be Gu Jinchi and Shirui sitting there, the two of them took their seats, and Shirui even waved very enthusiastically to greet her.

It's fine to arrange seating according to the size of the business, but it's just uncomfortable to be so close.

Shi Rui was dressed very playfully, like a young neighborhood girl, and was chatting with Gu Jinchi.

The atmosphere was cordial even though he just had a conversation to follow.

She was about to look away when Kishen stood over and blocked the view.

The hall quickly filled with guests, and after a short opening speech, the first exhibit had been brought to the stage.

She didn't know much about calligraphy and painting, but both Feng Yue and Gu had to be the first to serve as examples.

No one dared to be bold enough to ask for a price with them, and Gu Jinchi tacitly let go of the water a few times, using their auctioning of a few things as an opening.

The first of the next ones made her hear a rustling next to her.

Shi Rui pointed to the one jade bracelet that was sent up, and gathered in Gu Jinchi's ear and didn't know what to say, so he just raised his card and added five.

Not many people dared to call out Gu Jinchi when he made his move.

But in a heartbeat she couldn't help but raise her hand, "Sixteen."

From ten to sixteen is only two rounds, she is coming on strong, those present have the intention to watch the show, the asking price sound is again a wave higher than a wave.

Gu Jinchi gave her a sideways glance, his eyes obscure.

Rui Shi told him something else, and the price went straight to two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

To say that the color of that bracelet is not superb, this price is already tops.

"Twenty-six." She raised her hand once again, and Gu Jinchi cast an extremely puzzled look.

At this time, Shi Rui's voice was slightly louder, "Since Miss Su likes it, just forget it."

After saying that, she even made a wink at Gu Jinchi, and that kind of atmosphere made her extremely uncomfortable even more.

Two hundred and sixty thousand dollars for a pain in the ass.

Seeing this, Qi Chen couldn't help but frown slightly and attached himself to her ear, "The woman next to her, shouldn't she be the trustee of this auction?"

Using a woman to fling a man to ask for a high price to gain face is a tactic used by a number of small venues.

But she knew Gu Jinchi too well, and even though he often chose to compensate people with money, it wasn't her style to shoot something vulgar on an occasion like this.

Tim Rui's origin is also not simple, the eldest Miss of the Tim family, how can she not look at these things.

After her denial, Kishen understood.

The purpose of coming was not only to appear on such an occasion, I'm afraid that this woman, still wanted to press Su Qinglan here.

Next anything that could be used as an accessory, Gu Jinchi had to overprice it.

She emptied herself, looking indifferent to how Gu Jinchi and the woman next to him talked and laughed back and forth.

That is, until the final finale was brought to the stage, the one sapphire ring refracting softly under the spotlight, causing her eyes to suddenly widen.

She remembered.

The ring, she had seen it at her grandmother's once!

When she was a little girl, she still loved the ring, always playing with it for a long time, and once, by accident, she even left a dent in the opening of the ring.

She saw the somewhat conspicuous dent as the presenter held the grand finale up for all to see in close proximity.

This one ring was none other than her grandmother's!

She suddenly reached out and stopped the host who was about to leave, "Wait, where did this ring come from?"

She thought that her grandfather was not an ordinary family back then, even if the family had fallen a bit, the sapphire ring was a bride price for her grandmother.

Anymore, her grandmother wouldn't hand over something so valuable and meaningful for auction.

Not to mention that her grandmother isn't even here right now.

The host was a bit overwhelmed when he saw her react so strongly, "According to the rules, we are not allowed to disclose information about the person offering the lot, I'm very sorry."

With that, he ordered the exhibition to continue.

Seeing that she was not in the right state, Qishen immediately asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?"

"That ring, it was my grandmother's." Her voice was low, her face heavy.

In that case, if she thought about it, there was something very similar to what should have been in her grandmother's jewelry box among those auction items just now.

If these things are her grandmother's words ... and why are they here?

She looked toward the stage, her mind in turmoil.

Gu Jinchi also noticed something wrong over here, his lips moved and he was about to say something when Shirui suddenly pulled him back and shook his head.

The moment the ring was back on stage, the auction began once more.

The starting price was already a hundred due to the excellent color of that sapphire.

Gu Jinchi, for some reason, was slow to make a move, giving the other guests a chance to go crazy.

I'm afraid this is the most valuable item of the day, and for those who like to collect colored jewelry, this is an opportunity that can't be beat.

Seeing that the price had shot up to three hundred, she realized that the market value of the ring was definitely more than that.

As the competition heats up and it looks like it's about to bottleneck, the host throws out another bombshell.

The gemstone was a total heavyweight, both in terms of its cut and the master who made it, which, combined with its recognizable and unusual origins, directly stimulated those present.

Once again the price flew upwards, and by the time it reached the five hundred mark there was little left to call.

"Five million at a time."

When the moderator's first hammer went down, she immediately raised her hand, "Six hundred."

A span of a million dollars at a time can give a lot of people a wake-up call that not everyone can have the financial resources to compete with one of the top groups.

But some of them are still not dead, "Seven hundred."

Seeing that the increase was going to a thousand, Gu Jinchi couldn't help but look sideways and asked in a deep voice, "You want it badly?"

"None of your business." She didn't even pass a glance, just returned coldly.

Regardless of whether or not Shirui would pester Gu Jinchi for this ring, she was determined to get it, and Grandma's things could never be given away.

The next moment, Gu Jinchi directly asked for a thousand.

The host's face turned red with excitement, "The Gu Group has bid ten million dollars, is there a higher price?"

"Ten million dollars a time."

"Ten million two times."

"One thousand ..."

She glanced over Gu Jinchi with cold eyes and said without hesitation, "Thirteen million dollars."

When this price came out, the whole room was abuzz, even though the ring's origin was extraordinary, this price was still tops.

Everyone was silent for a while, and when the host reacted to hosting, Gu Jinchi raised his hand on fire, "Fifteen thousand."

"Gu Jinchi!" She looked over angrily, her expression cold, "Whatever you want, this ring must be mine."

Her voice was pressed to the very ground, and in the delayed interval the moderator once more began to strike the hammer.

Her eyes almost burned with bearish fury as she said angrily through clenched teeth, "Sixteen thousand."

Under the host's expectant gaze, Gu Jinchi's divine light darkened and he didn't say another word.

"Sixteen million dollars a time."

"Sixteen million twice."

"Sixteen million three times!"

With a hammer blow, the curtain finally came down on this unsmoked war.

Her being so out of control today was likewise the first time Gu Jinchi had seen her.

When she got the sapphire ring, she was as good as gold, rubbing the indentations on it with a vague sourness in her heart.

Why would something like that be here.

What Cenxiu meant was that by now Grandma should be working in an extremely secretive organization, and how could she possibly let her jewelry stray into such a place.

Grandma has also been very precious about this ring since Grandpa died.

Something must have happened to ....

In order to confirm her thoughts, she found Gu Jinchi right after leaving the venue, "Although this request might be a bit rude, can you show me that necklace you guys got?"

She looked grave, not half joking.

Gu Jinchi didn't say anything, but only gave An Nian a wink.

The tourmaline necklace was delivered to her, and she looked it over, paying close attention to the small details; if she remembered correctly, it would have shown signs of having been broken and repaired.

After looking back and forth several times, she finally found the hair-thin crack.

Such a discovery sent her whole being into a bit of a trance.

She didn't have to chase after anything else, and some of today's jewelry originated from her grandmother.

She made sure to ask Cenxu what the hell was going on!

"Thank you, it's okay." She put on a show of calm and sent the necklace back, clutching the ring in her hand.

As he turned his head to leave, his form stumbled because of the trance.

Between weightlessness, a warm palm stopped her waist tightly and held her in its arms.

"Are you really okay?" Gu Jinchi looked at her worriedly and held her a little tighter as well.

"I'm fine, just broke my foot." She saw Shi Rui, who was grimacing, in her afterglow, and after coming to her senses, she directly stood still and pushed Gu Jinchi away.

The ball after the auction was something she was no longer going to participate in.

She must find Cenxu and ask why Grandma's things were here.
