Chapter 233 Timeless
As the auction continued, Jiang Mian felt more and more agitated. What had happened earlier did not happen only once, but thrice. Jiang Mian was now the one, who had spent the most on this auction.
Jiang Mian gritted her teeth in annoyance when she thought about the 4.1 million dollars that she needed to pay for all of the pieces of jewelry that she had got. How come she fell in Jiang Yue’s trap over and over again?
Maybe she was still not as smart as Jiang Yue? That should be impossible, right?
"Mian Mian, I did not know that you like jewelry this much," an elegant lady commented when she noticed that Jiang Mian was again eyeing the next item that would be auctioned.
In fact, Jiang Mian was indeed eyeing the jewelry. It was the last jewelry that would be auctioned that night and it looked really beautiful. That piece of jewelry was internationally known as Timeless. It was a watch, made of white gold with over thousand diamonds enclosed in the piece. The watch featured diamonds of different colors and shapes, making it more glamorous.
At the center of the gleaming diamonds and gold was a flawless purple diamond that weighed 16.78 carats, a pink diamond weighing 10.34 carats and a shining black diamond that weighed 7.1 carats. This watch was known not just for its extravagance, but for its unique mechanism. This special mechanism made the big diamonds open once it was exposed to the sun. It would show the pave-set watch face, which contained another red diamond, weighing 5.9 carats.
This marvelous watch was made hundreds of years ago.It was even told that it once caused a war between two countries as it was stolen from a royal family by a prince of another nation.
If this watch was not luxurious, then what was is?
Jiang Mian’s eyes sparkled when the box, which was covered with black velvet cloth, finally reached the stage.
"Ladies and Gentlemen: Timeless," with this words the auction manager removed the cloth and revealed that masterpiece to everyone.
People widened their eyes as the sparkling jewelry was finally revealed. Everyone, except Jiang Yue and Fu Jin.
Jiang Yue squinted her eyes while looking at the watch in front of her. This watch had been on the news for weeks in her previous life, because it would be stolen right after this auction.
The news reported that the one who had bought the watch had been murdered along with his family. Jiang Yue roamed her eyes and fixed her gaze at the middle age man, who was happily chatting with another man at the front row. She wondered if the man would still bid for this piece of jewelry tonight.
"Ladies and Gentlemen let’s start with ten million... Anyone?" the auction manager asked.
"Eleven million!" and just like what Jiang Yue had expected the middle-aged man bid for the watch.
If Jiang Yue was right, then he was planning to give this watch to his wife, for their tenth anniversary.
"Do you like this watch?" Jiang Yue suddenly heard Fu Jin ask her.
"No. Of course not." She immediately replied. She would never want something like this. It would only attract evil and greed to her life.
In response, Fu Jin nodded and did not say anything.
"Twenty million!" silence followed after someone from the back said the amount with a clear voice. Everyone turned their heads to look at the young man who made the bid.
Seeing everyone was staring at him, the young man gave a dazzling smile. "I am planning to give this to the woman I love," he explained, before his eyes met Jiang Yue’s black orbs.
Surprisingly it was someone that Jiang Yue knew.
