Chapter 287 Making a Game
Chapter 287 Setting a Scene
Yi Cui was already in a bad mood, and now that even a nanny's daughter dared to provoke her, she felt even more frustrated.
Looking at Qin Huaiyu, who was sitting uneasily to the side, she could still sense his unease, even though he tried his best to hide it.
Yi Cui sighed inwardly. Huai Yu was just too kind. He must be putting himself in a difficult position by being caught between her and Xu Yanxin.
Immediately, Yi Cui felt even more sorry for Qin Huaiyu.
In addition, wanting to impress Qin Huaiyu, Yi Cui deftly raised her paddle and called out a price that surprised everyone.
"I'll offer fifteen million!"
Immediately, many people looked over.
This price point represents the pinnacle of this jewelry set, even exceeding its actual value.
Although this is a charity auction, it's not fair to be a sucker if you have money to burn.
The two ladies who were originally bidding immediately put down their bidding paddles.
Seeing this, Yi Cui was very satisfied.
Now her Yi family should be able to get the attention of the elite circles.
I thought the jewelry set was a foregone conclusion, but unexpectedly, someone suddenly appeared and joined the bidding.
This caused the already inflated price of the jewelry to rise even further.
"Sixteen million!"
Yuan Yangyang turned her head to look behind her and saw a man in a business suit sitting in the second-to-last row. He had a black earphone on his ear and was obviously bidding for someone else.
Yuan Yangyang noticed that Xu Yanxin remained calm throughout and showed no surprise at the sudden appearance of the bidder, which gave her a clue.
He whispered in Xu Yanxin's ear, "Were those the people you arranged?"
Xu Yanxin covered her mouth and whispered, "No."
"But my dad said he's already made all the arrangements."
Yuan Yangyang understood.
Feeling somewhat resentful at having her spotlight stolen, Yi Cui raised her hand and continued bidding.
"Seventeen million!"
I thought the other party would continue to bid, but to my surprise, they didn't.
Finally, Etsit won the jewelry set at auction for seventeen million.
Yi Cui felt a pang of heartache, thinking she had been cheated.
As a result, Yuan Sixiao praised her, saying, "Miss Yi is so kind-hearted. If the children who received the donation knew that she was such a beautiful and kind-hearted older sister, they would definitely thank you."
"Looks like I need to step up my game too, I can't let you outdo me!"
Yuan Sixiao has a naturally roguish and handsome appearance, and he can attract a large number of admirers even when women are as insignificant as air.
At this moment, he took the initiative to be friendly, which made Yi Cui feel very flattered.
Although Yi Cui didn't know which family Yuan Sixiao was from, she knew that he came with Yuan Yangyang and the others, and judging from his clothes, he should be a young master from a wealthy family.
His temperament far surpasses Qin Huaiyu's.
There was another man next to him; the two looked somewhat alike, so they must be brothers.
Yi Cui glanced at Yuan Si'an, who was sitting there typing away, and made a guess.
Yuan Si'an is currently reporting the real-time battle situation in the family group chat.
Although he kept his head down, he had a clear view of everything that was happening in the venue.
He typed, "You can't judge a book by its cover. That little girl Xu Yanxin is actually quite shrewd. Today, Qin Huaiyu and Yi Cui are bound to have one of them stumble."
The family group chat was flooded with comments; they're always eager to follow the drama.
Yi Cui glanced at Xu Yanxin, who was surrounded by handsome men and beautiful women, and a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes.
She resented the other person's good fortune; despite being just the daughter of a nanny, she had so many friends in high society circles.
Unlike her, who spent so much effort trying to squeeze into that circle, almost exhausting all her brain cells, yet still gained nothing.
Thinking of this, Yi Cui bit her lip, feeling somewhat unwilling.
She never expected that the people in City A's circle would be so difficult to deal with, so stubborn and unyielding, leaving her completely helpless.
Over the course of so many days, only Qin Huaiyu, a wealthy young man, has been close to her, and that's only because he likes her.
Yi Cui felt somewhat fortunate, but also somewhat smug.
She lightly tossed her long hair, feeling smug.
She has a face that perfectly matches Qin Huaiyu's aesthetic standards; isn't that a kind of ability?
Subsequently, Yuan Sixiao and Yuan Si'an each purchased a beautiful piece of jewelry, but neither of them were brought by the Qin family.
Immediately afterwards, two more pieces of Qin family jewelry were packaged together and sent to the auction stage.
A pink diamond pendant and an exquisite full-diamond bracelet with star pattern, together, have a starting bid of five million.
Several young ladies from wealthy families participated in the auction.
Yi Cui was hesitating whether she should get involved again.
After all, she had already bid on one item, so no one would say anything even if she didn't bid on this one.
However, if you auction off a large quantity or a large amount of money at this auction, you will naturally attract the attention of the wealthy families present.
As Yi Cui hesitated, she heard Yuan Sixiao say,
"This jewelry is nice. Don't you like it, Miss Yi? It should suit you very well."
After saying that, Yuan Sixiao looked at the restless Qin Huaiyu and said mischievously, "What do you think, Young Master Qin?"
When Qin Huaiyu met the other person's meaningful gaze, he felt that the other person's address of "Young Master Qin" was quite grating.
Without giving it much thought, Qin Huaiyu braced himself and prepared to deal with the situation.
He looked at Yi Cui with his gentle, watery eyes and said, "Yes, you are beautiful, you look good in anything."
These are Qin family jewels; if he says they're bad, wouldn't he be deliberately arousing suspicion?
He couldn't very well say that it wasn't suitable for Yi Cui to wear, because doing so would definitely offend Yi Cui.
Qin Huaiyu gave Yuan Sixiao a deep look, feeling that the other party was doing it on purpose.
Although he was asking a question, there was simply no other answer to it for Qin Huaiyu.
He didn't even dare to think about how things would end after Yi Cui had bid on so much of the Qin family's jewelry tonight.
After all, he had put in a lot of effort to get Yi Cui to have feelings for him. If all his hard work was wasted because of a few fake jewels, wouldn't all his efforts have been for nothing?
Yi Cui, feeling pleased with herself after being praised by the two men, raised the sign in her hand again.
Finally, Ettrie won the two items for 17 million.
He became the highest-spending buyer to date.
Feeling the occasional glances from those around her, Yi Cui was very satisfied, feeling that the money hadn't been wasted.
He straightened his back and sat up even more upright.
The auction is now in its intermission.
Suddenly, a man dressed in elite attire walked over and went straight to Yi Cui.
Under her puzzled gaze, he took out his business card and introduced himself.
"Hello, Ms. Yi, I am Qin Feng, the president's assistant of Qin Group. I have something very important to discuss with you."
Qin Feng deliberately lowered his voice, so that only those near Yi Cui could hear it.
Due to the deliberate seating arrangement, only Yi Cui, Qin Huaiyu, Yuan Yangyang, and a few others could hear Qin Feng speaking at this moment.
As soon as Qin Feng finished speaking, Qin Huaiyu, feeling guilty, had already changed his expression.
