Chapter 490: Can’t Wait to Give His Money Away
Midsummer Heart.
A blade of green leaf and a firefly.
The object was just like its name.
This was the reason Lin Kerou was here.
Li Beinian studied the necklace on the big screen with great interest.
Sensing that she was finally showing some interest, Shi Yishen threw a few glances at her.
He leaned over and said in his resonant and matured baritone voice, “Do you like this?”
Looking at the screen, Li Beinian smiled slightly and replied, “I quite like it.”
It was indeed pretty and very special.
Li Beinian had had countless pieces of jewelry but had never seen anything this unique.
But the critical point was that Lin Kerou liked it.
Both in the previous lifetime and this one, it never left her mind. She reckoned that the girl would go crazy if she didn’t get it.
Li Beinian’s look of interest grew stronger.
“We’ll get it, then.” Shi Yishen felt a sense of pride deep in his heart and couldn’t resist smiling. He continued, “This is the piece of work that my mother is most proud of this year, and there’s only one in the world.”
“Won’t she make another one?” Li Beinian asked.
Dumbfounded, Shi Yishen replied, “It looks like you don’t quite understand the jewelry industry.”
He held up his coffee cup and took a sip, then explained animatedly, “My mother is at the top of the pyramid in this industry. She only works on a piece when she’s in a good mood or has an inspiration. But once she has completed a piece, she’ll never repeat the design. And very naturally, she’ll never allow others to infringe on the design.”
Hence, Su Yuan was highly reputed.
Highly reputed not only because of her strange temperament, but also the string of top awards that she had bagged ever since she launched her career.
Today, she had become a legend in the international jewelry scene.
Shi Yishen spoke of his mother with great pride.
Li Beinian could see that.
The auctioneer announced the starting price, “2 million base price, and every bid may not be less than 100,000. The bidding starts now.”
Lin Kerou’s target was clear. She wanted the Midsummer Heart.
Hence, the moment the bidding started, she raised her card immediately.
The auctioneer called out, “This lady offers 3 million.”
Of course, Lin Kerou wasn’t the only person who fancied this item.
Following close behind, there were three or four bids, some placed by men, some placed by women.
It didn’t take long for the price to quadruple and hit the 8 million mark.
The number of people who would consider the item at this price was significantly reduced now.
Lin Kerou looked toward Mu Donglin as though pleading for help. She whispered, “Brother Donglin.”
“10 million.” Mu Donglin raised the price by 2 million. The place fell silent.
The auctioneer was pleasantly surprised and said, “Eldest Young Master Mu is offering 10 million. How lucky is his lady companion? Eldest Young Master Mu throws a million to gain a beauty’s smile, he’s indeed the young heir of the Mu Corporation! Any bids above 10 million? 10 million going once, 10 million going twice…”
Then, on the front row, a card was raised.
The auctioneer’s excited voice fell silent as he looked at the screen and said, “CEO Shi bids 11 million!”
On this note, all the eyes that had fallen adoringly on Mu Donglin now shifted to Shi Yishen.
“Is he crazy?”
“Isn’t that his mother’s work? If he liked it so much he could have just taken it from her. What’s this now? He can’t wait to give his money away?”
“I suppose it’s the person next to him who wants it? That girl, she’s not simple!”
Being suddenly cut off from something that one was on the verge of owning, who wouldn’t be mad?
Mu Donglin sat up straight as he turned to look at Shi Yishen.
Shi Yishen, however, was looking at Li Beinian as though begging for approval.
