306 Necklace
Seeing that Gu Man had no intention of saying anything, Xiang Yin tactfully stopped asking. However, his gaze landed on Gu Man unintentionally.
Watching her drink and taste tea was pleasing to the eye. Her dignity was not born from gentleness, but a natural feeling that made people feel more comfortable.
Although the curtain blocked the view from downstairs to upstairs, it was inevitable that they would feel uncomfortable when people looked over.
Gu Man retracted her gaze and looked at the screen.
The woman in the cheongsam came to the middle of the stage. Not long after, the lights downstairs dimmed, and the uncomfortable feeling lessened.
The only light downstairs was in the middle of the stage. On the high-definition screen, a woman in a cheongsam held a small hammer in her hand. There was a small disc on the stage in front of her.
What followed was the usual process. There was nothing breathtaking about the first few products, and the people competing were all downstairs. No one upstairs had said anything.
During this period, Gu Man looked at Zhang Yue and Gu Rou. Their expressions were calm, as if they were not interested in what was on the stage.
There were not many rooms on the second floor. Zhang Yue’s identity was not enough for him to enter the private room. However, even if he stayed downstairs, he did not have any self-awareness. He still had a faint noble aura on him and had one hand on Gu Rou’s shoulder.
The next item to be auctioned was a necklace.
The enlarged necklace on the screen flickered with colorful lights. The blue jewelry seemed to hide the entire sea, as if waves were constantly turning in it.
This was a very beautiful jewel necklace, and the moment the necklace came out, it successfully attracted the attention of some women.
Their eyes were burning as they stared at the necklace on the stage, their eyes filled with determination.
Gu Man looked at the stage. The spiritual power of the necklace was very abundant, but with the meteorite, she did not care about these small matters.
She inadvertently glanced at the seats below the stage and realized that Gu Rou seemed to be very excited.
“This necklace was collected by a noble woman…”
The woman on the stage introduced the source of the necklace softly. In the end, it was time for the price segment that everyone was paying attention to.
The starting price of the necklace was actually one million yuan. In comparison, the first few goods were like small businesses.
As soon as the price was raised, many people downstairs stopped breathing. After all, there were still many goods waiting to be auctioned. Moreover, they might not be able to buy this necklace at the starting price.
Therefore, very few people participated in the auction, this included Zhang Yue and Gu Rou.
Although she could not see the exact expressions on their faces, she knew from Gu Rou’s posture that she was acting coquettishly and begging Zhang Yue to bid for the necklace.
At this moment, if Gu Man still did not know what Gu Rou wanted to do, she would really be an idiot.
Perhaps it was because Gu Man’s gaze stopped on the stage time and time again that it attracted Xiang Yin’s attention.
He looked at the exquisite necklace on the stage and tilted his head to ask, “You like it?”
When he spoke, his voice was slightly raised, inexplicably seductive. Even his aura carried the aura of an upstart who would bid for the necklace as long as Gu Man nodded.
Gu Man shook her head. Gu Rou was good at using these small tricks, but the outcome of the matter would not change anything. She let her make a fuss.
It was just a necklace that she had spent a million yuan on, but it still could not save the Gu Family. The expression on Gu Rou’s face must be very good.
At the thought of Gu Rou’s embarrassed expression, Gu Man’s mood improved.
“Although it looks good, it’s better to use the money where it’s needed the most.”
“If you like it, it’s using it where it’s needed the most.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Man acutely sensed that everyone’s gaze was on this private room. There was no other reason. Seeing Xiang Yin press the button calmly, Gu Man could not help but laugh.
Although this necklace was not very useful to her, she still had a strange feeling in her heart.
