Chapter 794: Chapter 794: The Best Comes Last Chapter 794: Chapter 794: The Best Comes Last “Let go!”
Qin Youxuan furrowed her brows, shook off her hand, and distastefully wiped her wrist.
“Are you so defensive because you’re guilty? Look at you, there’s not a single valuable piece of jewelry on you. Perhaps Hanjie saw that you simply weren’t fit to wear such a precious necklace that he’d rather Read the latest chapters on NovelHub - completely free! If I were you, Qin Youxuan, I would be too ashamed to sit here.”
Ye Mingmei showed off her gem bracelet, her face full of smugness.
“Miss Ye, if you care so much about keeping face, you shouldn’t be sitting in a place that doesn’t belong to you. If I remember correctly, you have no connection to the Dan Family, this spot is too high for you.”
Qin Youxuan responded calmly and coldly.
Raising her head towards the display stage, she noticed the auction had already proceeded to the final item without her realizing.
When the black cloth covering the jewelry box was lifted, an audible gasp echoed around the room.
On the small display stage, the cat-eye necklace lay quietly in the box, emitting a honey-yellow glow.
The lights in the venue dimmed, making the cat’s eye stone in the box shine even brighter.
The glossy luster spread out from the display stage to all directions.
“Dan Hanjie, on behalf of the Dan Group, is offering this as the finale item for this charity sale, the Alexander Rare Chrysoberyl Cat’s Eye.The starting price is fifty million yuan…”
As soon as the host finished speaking, a stir arose from the crowd.
People whispered among themselves, admiring this rarely seen precious cat’s eye gemstone.
Many were speculating about Dan Hanjie’s relationship with the Ye Family.
After all, such a gemstone was clearly a treasure. It was already surprising enough that he chose not to keep it for his personal collection, let alone auction it at the charity gala of the Ye Family. Such generosity indeed drew attention.
As Dan Hanjie had already left, everyone’s gaze shifted to Dan Rong and Dan Hanxi, hoping to decipher something from their expressions.
Even Qin Youxuan couldn’t help but steal a glance.
She couldn’t see Dan Rong’s expression from her position, but turning her head, her eyes met with Dan Hanxi’s.
Their eyes locked, and Qin Youxuan furrowed her brows, unconsciously looking away.
“Sixty-five million.”
The auction was going in full swing.
No matter what the reason for the cat’s eye gemstone appearing in this auction, its value was undeniable. Many collectors were tempted, resulting in escalating bids.
In the blink of an eye, the price had already approached one hundred million yuan.
Qin Youxuan’s hand, grasping her skirt, slightly tightened, and she bit her lip.
She had not expected the necklace to attract so much attention. Under such circumstances, it would probably cost her a significant amount if she were to win it.
She was unsure of Dan Hanjie’s intentions. Without him there, she hesitated.
Just as the bidding price rose to ninety million and Qin Youxuan was about to raise her hand to bid, Ye Mingmei outpaced her.
“One hundred million.”
Her crisp voice carried an undertone of smugness that others couldn’t recognize.
Qin Youxuan’s hand in mid-air paused, slowly retreated, and she turned her head to glance at Ye Mingmei.
“Don’t look at me like that. As I said, you’re not worthy of such a luxurious cat’s eye stone. Today, I absolutely must get this necklace!” Ye Mingmei pouted her lips, her face revealing a proud taunt.
“One hundred million is not an astronomical price, but it has already exceeded the actual value of the gemstone. I advise you not to compete with me, your net worth can’t match mine.”
