86 Ruby
Luo Ying rolled her eyes at him.
The men of the Luo family were really interesting. It was as if they had some hereditary narcissistic genes in their bloodline. Whatever the case was, they all believed that they were irresistible to her.
“I’m married, kid.” Luo Ying showed Lin Ping the diamond ring on her hand. It was her wedding ring with Lu Zhao, and she had been wearing it on her finger recently.
Lin Ping looked at the ring on Luo Ying’s hand and said nothing. He was a little confused. It was rumored that Luo Ying didn’t like Lu Zhao at all, so she was probably putting on an act by wearing the ring now.
For some reason, Lin Ping felt that Luo Ying might still be putting on an act to trick Lin Su.
She was clearly in love with him before, so how could she do a one-eighty and love someone else?
The auction soon began. Luo Ying looked on as various items took their turns on stage one by one, but her eyes remained indifferent. She did not show any intention of partaking in the made scramble.
“The third entry is our first item of the night to feature a starting price of more than five million. It’s a Paraiba Tourmaline Ring from the Middle Ages.”
Paraiba was a rare gem. It gleamed with clarity and brilliance in a class of its own. Its ring holder was shaped like a flower bud.
The entire ring looked like a rose that was about to bloom.
“That ring is simply stunning.”
“That’s right. One with this purity comes once every few centuries.”
“This ring was once a gift from a Duke to his wife, but he lost his life in the war. His wife never got married again, so this ring is also a symbol of undying love.”
The people below the stage all exclaimed in admiration.
Su Ran’s eyes lit up. Wasn’t the pure and innocent show of love what she wanted?
Lin Su could tell that she wanted the ring. He raised his sign first. “Seven million!”
“Seven million five hundred thousand! Eight million!”
Signs rose and fell, and Lin Ping looked at Luo Ying with some doubts.
Luo Ying was yawning and looking at the game on her mobile phone, feeling sleepy. This was not her style.
“What’s wrong? Doesn’t that ring attract you?” Lin Ping asked.
“What’s so good about something that symbolizes love without freedom and restraint?” Luo Ying yawned lazily. If Lin Su and Su Ran wanted such a shallow, fairy tale-like form of love, so be it.
She would never use her chastity and obsession to imprison the other person for life.
Everyone should be left to pursue their own happiness.
“I didn’t expect you to be so open-minded.” Lin Ping shrugged.
“How is that being open-minded? Having a mindset like Lin Su’s is simply too feudal. They can’t wait to make a chastity Memorial Arch and carry it on their backs.” Luo Ying smiled.
Lin Su noticed Luo Ying, who was sitting behind him and sneering. He frowned. For some reason, he felt that Luo Ying was still putting on an act.
How could she be as free and easy as she said? How could she be so uninterested in this ring?
This was probably just a trick to confuse him.
At the thought of this, Lin Su’s heart suddenly relaxed. He raised his sign with ease and won the ring for 30 million.
He carefully placed the ring on Su Ran’s hand.
The audience burst into thunderous applause.
Only Lin Lu, who was sitting in the back seat, had an ashen expression.
Luo Ying suddenly felt that this trip was worth it. It was as if she had watched a family drama for free.
Soon, the auction began for the hibiscus jade, which was only for three million.
Luo Ying slowly raised her board. “Six million.”
Her voice was calm, but it was firm.
Lin Su frowned. The jade pendant was clearly not of outstanding quality. The most valuable feature on it was the flower carved by a master craftsman.
It was almost life-like.
Why would Luo Ying want this jade pendant, even if she had to pay twice the price?
A strange feeling flashed through Lin Su’s heart. For some reason, he raised his hand and said, “6.1 million.��
Su Ran looked at Lin Su’s actions and was stunned. She whispered, “Why would you want it? It looks very ordinary. It doesn’t seem to be particularly well-made.”
Luo Ying looked at Lin Su and rolled her eyes. She’s surrounded by crazy people!
