Kang Ying’s face was already red. She hadn’t wanted to reveal her identity as the daughter of the Kang family. After all, before she came in, Huo Qing had instructed her to keep a low profile. However, she really liked this necklace too much and had no choice but to reveal her identity as the daughter of the Kang family to suppress others.

Just now, when Kang Ying opened her mouth and shouted out a high price of 500 million, she had thought that she would be able to win it. She did not expect that the Gao family’s auction would be attended by so many rich people who were able to keep dragging the price up with her. If not for the pink diamonds on the chain that she had wanted for a long time, she would not be willing to pay 600 million to obtain this!

Once Kang Ying’s voice rang out, the ladies who were bidding in the main hall fell silent. The Kang family could be considered a big family with a hundred years of foundation in Beijing. In addition, they had a marriage alliance with the Huo family a few years ago. They had no choice but to give them face.

Seeing that there was no one who was going to continue raising the price, Kang Ying stood in the corridor on the second floor and urged the host loudly, “No one is offering a higher price now. Hurry up and confirm this and move on to the next item!”

The host had also attended many major events. He understood that everyone was starting to respect the Kang family and stopped fighting for it. He raised his small hammer and said loudly, “600 million going once, 600 million going twice, 600 million going thrice…”

Just as the hammer was about to strike for a third time, a cold female voice suddenly came from private room number one on the second floor. “One billion!”

Just as she finished speaking, everyone in the living room couldn’t help but look up at the room. The noise started again.

“Which family is the one sitting in room one? She’s actually bidding against the Kang family in public. Isn’t she clearly not giving the Kang family face?”

“That’s right, that’s right. When the necklace came out just now, there was no movement in room one. However, when Ms. Kang revealed her identity, they started fighting over it. Could it be that the person is specially here to cause trouble for the Kang family?”

The discussions were getting louder and louder. Kang Ying stood in the corridor on the second floor and listened to most of the conversations of the people. Anger instantly welled up in her mind. She turned her head with a red face and glared at the room not far away.

As the door of the private room was gently pushed open from the inside, Mo Zhu’s face appeared in front of everyone.

When Kang Ying saw that the person who came was Mo Zhu, she gritted her teeth angrily and shouted, “Why are you everywhere! You’re doing this today on purpose to embarrass me, aren’t you! A country bumpkin is indeed a country bumpkin. You’re so practiced in blowing your own trumpet!”

Mo Zhu took two steps forward in amusement and leaned against the railing in the corridor as she looked at Kang Ying. She raised her eyebrows and asked, “What a coincidence, I like this necklace too. Why? Everyone is competing fairly. If you can bid for what you like, can’t I raise my card?”

Kang Ying clenched her fists tightly and looked at Mo Zhu as if she was about to spit fire. “One billion? Are you that rich being a country bumpkin? Don’t use Brother Xuan’s money and squander it everywhere!”

Upon hearing Kang Ying’s words, Xu Huan raised his eyebrows at Huo Xuan. “Sister-in-law and Ms. Kang are arguing. Why aren’t you going to help?”

When Huo Xuan heard this, he looked in the direction of Mo Zhu. The girl was leaning against the railing of the corridor. One could tell that she didn’t really want the necklace, she just wanted to make Kang Ying unhappy.

Huo Xuan smiled lightly, stood up and walked beside Mo Zhu. He pinched the girl’s cheek dotingly and said softly, “Take whatever you like. Don’t mention about a billion dollars, you can even buy this necklace for ten billion if you want.”

The people downstairs were looking up at the huge drama between the two women. Now that Huo Xuan had appeared, they started discussing fervently again.

“This is the young master of the Huo family! Ahhh, Young Master Huo is too handsome. He’s willing to pay ten billion for a necklace just to please his girlfriend.”

“What are you talking about? That girl is Young Master Huo’s fiancée. I’ve long heard that Young Master Huo brought his fiancée, who had never been seen before, back to Beijing. I didn’t expect her to be such a beautiful girl. Tsk, tsk. When she stands with Young Master Huo, they’re really a match made in heaven!”

The discussion of the crowd could be heard in the private room. Mo Wu sat at the table, took a sip of tea, and frowned. “Young Master is going to spend ten billion to buy a necklace for Ms. Mo?”

After a pause, he said in confusion, “Although it’s not impossible for Young Master to do this, isn’t it not worth it to spend ten billion on this ordinary necklace?”
