This man who usually gives people the image of a tough guy also seemed a little bored at this time.

Feeling Yu Xiao's gaze, Mo Tingshen lowered his head and smiled slightly, then leaned closer and asked softly, "Yu Xiao, is there anything on the stage that interests you? If so, I'll buy it for you."

Yu Xiao first shook his head to indicate that he didn't see anything he liked, then lowered his voice and asked, "What about you? Is there anything you want to buy?"

"nor."

Mo Tingshen comes from a military family, and apart from weapons, it is difficult for anything else to really arouse his interest.

However, the antiques, calligraphy and paintings by famous artists and other items displayed on the stage clearly do not conform to his preference for material life.

At this moment, Lu Zhiyao suddenly coughed lightly and then slowly said, "Xiaoxiao, what do you think of this brooch that's being auctioned? It's said to be quite valuable."

Looking in the direction of Lu Zhiyao's finger, Yu Xiao noticed that the host had already begun introducing the next group of items to be auctioned.

"This brooch is inlaid with one of the world's finest Cullinan diamonds. You should know that the two most famous large Cullinans are used in important British royal jewelry—the scepter and the crown that everyone is familiar with. Yes, what we are presenting now is one of the exquisite jewels from the British royal collection. The starting price is 5 million RMB, and each bid increment must not be less than 100,000 RMB."

“It’s really beautiful!”

This piece of jewelry uses very complex and delicate craftsmanship to successfully string together square-cut diamonds and pear-shaped diamonds. The entire design is very simple and does not have too many gorgeous decorations, thus showing the dazzling brilliance of each gem to the greatest extent.

Most of the participants in this auction are successful businessmen who come with their wives. When faced with such beautiful and precious items, they naturally do not want to easily miss the good opportunity to fight for their loved ones.

The atmosphere at the scene became extremely hot, with bidding sounds rising one after another. In just a few minutes, the value of the jewelry soared to 9.8 million yuan.

Shen Ying, who was sitting not far away, stared intently at the glittering brooch on the stage with her bright eyes. She couldn't help but secretly envy and said in her heart: "It would be great if I could have two such big diamonds..."

Then she looked at Miss Yu Wan, who had been showing goodwill to her, and found that she was constantly begging her handsome cousin to help her take a picture of this precious jewelry.

"Brother Yu, Brother Yu, I really want this unique and beautiful brooch. Can you help me get it? Please!"

Seeing his usually gentle and considerate girlfriend suddenly become so willful and reckless, Shen Yu felt bewildered and at a loss; but when his eyes accidentally touched Yu Xiao who was sitting in the front row and quietly watching the whole process, the erratic emotion disappeared in an instant.

It was as if some kind of stimulation aroused his fighting spirit and a strong desire to prove his own strength.

Then he raised the sign in his hand without hesitation, decided to participate in the competition and took the initiative to raise the price, hoping to end this fierce battle as soon as possible.

As more and more competitors gradually give up, the final transaction amount continues to rise...

When it was Shen Yu's turn to bid again, he raised his number plate firmly, his eyes revealing an unquestionable determination, and announced a new amount: "Twelve million eight hundred thousand."

His voice echoed in the auction hall, as if declaring his determination and courage.

After hearing the number quoted by the other party, Yu Xiao turned back in shock. Her face turned slightly pale and her eyes were full of incredible surprise.

She thought to herself, is there something wrong with this guy's brain?

Are you willing to spend so much money just for a piece of jewelry with a few stones?

Doesn't he have any idea how much assets are left in the family?

Is this really appropriate?

Seeing Yu Xiao's reaction, Lu Zhiyao noticed her unusual behavior and couldn't help but frown. His tongue tip gently touched his palate. He felt mixed emotions and couldn't figure out his mood for a moment.

Then, the man calmly raised his number plate and said in his deep, magnetic voice, "Raise the price to 15 million."

The gap increased by nearly three million at once, instantly focusing the attention of everyone present. Shen Yu's hand holding the cards paused for a moment, and tiny beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead.

His heartbeat seemed to suddenly speed up a lot, and a thought emerged in his mind: Did the big boss say this?

It seems he has his eye on the same gem, but who is he going to give it to as a gift?

Yu Xiao looked at Lu Zhiyao with confusion, wondering if he was planning to take a picture and give it to his sister or mother.

After all, such rare large pure diamonds are rare, so it is understandable that Mr. Lu is interested in them.

At this moment, she herself did not have any special feelings about those gold and silver jewelry. She just held her chin with her hand and looked at the diamond brooch sparkling under the light, thinking that it was indeed very beautiful.

Almost all women will be attracted by it and even want to own it.

At this moment, Mo Tingshen, who was sitting next to him, asked in a low voice: "Do you like it?"

Yu Xiao was unable to answer for a moment. Before she could respond, Mo Tingshen decisively raised the sign.

"1600."

Seeing him make a decision so quickly, Yu Xiao couldn't help but have a series of questions in his mind.

Is this crazy?

I clearly didn't say I wanted it, why did he do this?

Feeling helpless, Yu Xiao gently tugged at Mo Tingshen's sleeve and whispered to him, "I don't want it."

Unfortunately, this dissuasion did not change the situation. On the other side, Lu Zhiyao still did not stop competing. He stared straight ahead without blinking, and then raised his sign again to announce the number: "1700 million."

At this moment, an invisible pressure seemed to be generated between the two people. When their eyes collided with each other, it seemed to ignite sparks as hot as fire, and neither of them was willing to give in.

This fierce scramble obviously made Shen Yu begin to waver in his actions.

Although several million is a huge amount of money for ordinary people, it is still a considerable expense for everyone involved in this bidding war.

"Brother Yu, I really want to own that brooch."

Yu Wan, who was standing next to him, bit her lips tightly, trying to hide her inner desire. However, when she saw a hint of hesitation on his face, she considerately changed her tone and said, "But if you really feel it's inconvenient, then that's fine...
