Chapter 145: An Insulting Bid
Wei Yong glanced at the diamond earrings on stage and then at Shen Hanxing. "Does this pair of earrings belong to the same set of jewelry you’re wearing right now, Ms. Shen?"
"I got the news a little late, so I didn’t have time to prepare anything," Shen Hanxing smiled and said, "It’s for charity. At most, I can buy it back later." She didn’t lower her voice, the people around her could hear that she was determined to get the earrings.
Ji Mei and the others in the back row had different expressions. Their gazes fell on the pair of earrings. The venue was silent for a moment and no one bid for it.
This was when a woman’s voice with a hint of arrogance voiced out, "11,000."
Instantly, the entire venue was in an uproar!
Ji Mei’s expression changed drastically. She pulled Cheng Liu who was beside her fiercely and reprimanded her in a low voice, "What are you doing?!" In an auction like this, it was not only for charity purposes, it was also a display of one’s worth. 11,000 dollars. The first bid was not even worth the original price of the pair of earrings. This was not a bid, but a humiliation.
"I did that because I didn’t see anyone bidding," Cheng Liu’s eyes flashed with malice. However, she put on an innocent smile and said, "I was afraid that cousin-in-law would be embarrassed. Was it wrong for me to take the initiative to bid? It’s just that I don’t have much money and can’t bid too high a price. Cousin-in-law wouldn’t mind, right?"
Shen Hanxing didn’t even turn her head. She only faintly replied, "Of course, I don’t mind."
