Chapter 306: Tycoons Are Really Scary

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Shen Qianshu narrated the whole story, and Gu Xie managed to hear everything at the side. She calmly said, “Xiaojuan, was I too conceited? I am really sure that the jewels I saw then and now were exactly the same, but only their years were different! Allure was only cut into its shape for around a hundred years, but the original jewel was a thousand over years old. I would never make such a mistake.”

Lin Xiaojuan and little Tong Hua could not understand what she was talking about. They were confused and did not know how to console her.

“Forget it, this is just one jewelry inspection. There is no big deal making a misjudgment. Nobody is perfect.”

“But I am indignant, I obviously…”

Her little boss character made its appearance again.

Never admitting her mistakes!

She was not even in the wrong!

The man in black realized that his Master had been staring at the little boy in front of them all along. He could not help but ask, “Second Master, you like little Tong Hua a lot?”

“He is called Tong Hua?”

“Yes, he is famous nationwide. He is a child star.”

“Oh, I do not watch television and movies normally. I have already lost touch with the entertainment industry,” Second Master laughed and said/ “Who is the one in a blue skirt, the one sitting beside him?”

“That is his Mommy, Shen Qianshu.”

“Oh… Ah Xi, you seemed to be very knowledgeable in regard to the entertainment industry.

“Sixth Master is in the entertainment industry, so I will follow the news sometimes. This mother and son pair is really famous.”

“This young lady looked really… likable.”

“Second… Second… Second Master?”

“Why? Can’t I praise a young lady?”

“You scared me,” Ah Xi said. “In your eyes, isn’t madam the only person that looks likable? You have already praised an outsider two consecutive times today.”

“Really? I did not realize.”

“For the few young masters, you have never praised any of them since young till now right?”

“So I am actually that strict.”

The man in black laughed.

His Master was a living Yama 1 since he was a child.

The items that were auctioned at the start all had settled at prices of at least fifty million. It was an eye-opener for Lin Xiaojuan. “Qianshu, I feel like I’m a bumpkin. Even a bracelet can bid out for one hundred million dollars. There sure are many tycoons.”

“Rich people!” both mother and son said in unison.

Shen Qianshu tried to not think about the unpleasant event that happened before the auction.

Allure was left as the last item.

The starting price was fifty million with a ten million increase each bid.

When Allure was flashed on the screen, everyone in the hall gasped with admiration. It was too beautiful.

Shen Qianshu was shocked by it once again.

Such a mysterious and beautiful jewel necklace was really one and only in the world.

Little Tong Hua was also dazed. This was his first time realizing that pink was actually really pretty. “Mommy, I will work hard to earn money and buy it for you.”

“Baby, it’s the thought that counts.” Shen Qianshu replied.

My little baby, do you know how much that costs?

In the midst of their conversation, the price was already at five hundred million.

It was not increased by ten million.

But by a hundred million!

“Eight hundred million!”

“Nine hundred million!”

“One billion!”

…

Little Tong Hua, who had just set his brave goal, immediately chickened out. “Tell me the money is in Yen.”

Lin Xiaojuan and Shen Qianshu laughed. This was really too expensive, too outrageous. It was rare to see something that could be increased by one hundred million.

When the price reached fifteen billion, it seemed like it was almost at its maximum. No one continued to increase the price, while suddenly, the man in black beside Second Master started to raise his card.

“Sixteen billion!”

Everybody turned back, and they only saw a middle-aged man sitting in the last row. Two bodyguards and one that looked like a housekeeper stood at the sides of him. It was a majestic sight. As it was too dark, the hall was too big, and there were too few people, nobody could see his features clearly from where they were sitting.

“Seventeen billion!”

“Twenty billion!” the man in black shouted.

Everyone was speechless…
