However, once put up for auction, it was uncertain whether it could be reclaimed.
Dan Hanjie’s captivating eyes flashed with intent to say something, only for the lights in the hall to dim suddenly.
The host stepped forward, officially announcing the commencement of the auction.
Upon hearing that the auction had begun, the bustling hall quieted down.
The guests invited were all influential figures and the event was organized by the Ye Family. Most people were not particularly interested in the charity auction items, but all were seated in the bidding area.
In the marketplace, mutual Discover more novels on NovelHub - your gateway to endless stories.
Qin Youxuan was curious why she hadn’t seen Ye Mingmei all night when she noticed the stage curtains gradually opening.
Ye Mingmei was standing in the middle, donning a luxurious gown, with her long hair loose and a small braid fastened behind her ear.
She was adorned with a suite of expensive diamond jewelry necklace around her neck and hand. Standing under the stage lights, she was a magnificent sight.
“I am delighted that everyone could make time to attend this charity auction tonight. As the host, the Ye Family is duty-bound to Discover more novels on NovelHub - your gateway to endless stories.”
Ye Mingmei stepped forward, gently took the microphone from the host, her clear voice echoed throughout the auction area.
“Of course, please don’t misunderstand my intentions here, I am not selling myself. The item Discover more novels on NovelHub - your gateway to endless stories. The bidding starts at 30 million.”
Ye Mingmei’s lighthearted joke relaxed the crowd. Her graceful and charming demeanor was indeed befitting of Miss Ye.
Compared to her usual bickering and snatching of men, the Ye Mingmei tonight was definitely turning heads.
“Thirty-five million.”
“Thirty-six million.”
Bids echoed throughout the hall.
The complete set of diamond jewelry offered by the Ye family was a well-known royal treasure. The low starting bid was probably intended to create this effect.
Cleverly stimulating the atmosphere with bidding wars is wiser than setting a high price from the start.
“She keeps looking at you, aren’t you going to bid?” Qin Youxuan glanced at the man beside her and teased, “If you bid, she might not only sell you the diamonds, but she might sell herself to you.”
“You jealous creature.” Dan Hanjie gave her a sidelong glance, held her chin with his large hand, and bent down to kiss her lips.
“Stop, we’re in public.” Upon seeing Ye Mingmei’s face fall, Qin Youxuan felt extremely satisfied. However, noticing the crowd around them, she hastily pushed him away.
She moved a bit to the side, putting some distance between them.
She didn’t dare to say anything further.
Upon hearing this price, the hall fell silent for several seconds.
There were countless people who wanted to court favor with the Ye family, and the price naturally continued to skyrocket.
Setting aside the reputation of the Ye family, the diamond jewelry currently adorned by Ye Mingmei certainly had its share of admirers willing to spend generously.
However, the figure of eighty million had significantly exceeded the value of the jewelry set.
Increasing the bid further would make their intentions of currying favor too obvious.
All those in attendance were of significant standing, and naturally understood subtlety was required in these matters.
After the price reached eighty million, no one else bid.
The diamond jewelry worn by Ye Mingmei was sold for the final price of eighty million.
“Congratulations to Shengda Enterprise. The ‘Star of brilliance’ is now yours. I’ll have someone package it and deliver it to you shortly.” Ye Mingmei’s exquisite eyes lifted slightly.
