Chapter 624 - 647 Looting
"One million one hundred ten thousand!"
"One million one hundred twelve thousand!"
"One million one hundred fifteen thousand!"
"..."
"One million four hundred thousand!"
The auction atmosphere was extremely lively, and everyone eagerly placed their bids, suddenly making what was originally a boring charity auction full of vigor.
The diamond that Meng Xiaofei put up for auction fetched a hefty price, finally selling for one million four hundred thousand. This price wasn’t too high nor too low, but it was enough to steal the show for the evening. Most importantly, although the diamond had been processed, no one had yet made it into jewelry, meaning no one had used it. This particularly appealed to some of the wealthy patrons who were superstitious—if a diamond had been used, it might carry the misfortune of its previous owner.
Therefore, the diamond necklace and earrings that Cui Jiali brought out, while also of significant value, didn’t attract nearly as much attention. In the end, although someone bought them, they sold for just the starting price; it didn’t cause nearly as much excitement as Meng Xiaofei’s diamond.
This made Cui Jiali feel embarrassed and more resentful towards Meng Xiaofei. She felt that Meng Xiaofei had used such means to humiliate her, which she could not tolerate. She secretly vowed to find an opportunity in the future to properly humiliate Meng Xiaofei in return.
There was only the charity auction this evening. The real main event was on the next day. Once the charity auction was over, everyone was free to mingle again.
