Chapter 381: Untitled
Mu Xiaoxiao was gobsmacked again. A one million dollar diamond that underwent some modification could end up with a two million price tag? Its price went up by double just by an exchange of ownership!
Also, two million was was the base price, and it was still unknown how high the price would eventually get up to.
Even though she quite liked the necklace, she felt the pain of spending so much money, and the money was not even hers!
Moreover, Mu Xiaoxiao would feel very guilty if she spent someone else’s money like that.
It was one thing for William to gift her clothes, for it could be counted as a gift between friends. She had also gifted some expensive and branded goods to him before, so she didn’t feel like William’s gift was inappropriate. However, if he were to gift her the necklace, she wouldn’t be able to accept it.
Seeing that William was going to raise his hand to bid for the necklace, Mu Xiaoxiao quickly pulled his hand down. “Don’t raise your hand! It’s too expensive; I don’t want it.”
William smiled and said flippantly, “It’s nothing; it’s only a few million, so it’s not that expensive.”
She hadn’t realized that this cruise ship cost a few tens of billions, and thus, a few million dollars was nothing to him.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him as she said, “You’re such a spendthrift! How did I not know that you were a spendthrift before?”
Only a few… million? How was this inexpensive!
Also, this was in American dollars!
Just then, a few people bid on the necklace. Most of those who did were rich young missys. To these girls, this necklace was mesmerizing and more attractive than those antique ones!
These rich girls were spending their family’s money and didn’t feel the pain of spending money at all. They were enthusiastically bidding for it.
Four million, five million…
The price rose higher and higher.
William leaned forward and said into her ear, “Do you really not want it? If you don’t bid, it might be bought by someone else.”
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the necklace with longing. It looked really pretty, and she liked it a lot.
However, the price was really too much!
“It’s okay. It’s only an accessory, and I wouldn’t dare to wear it if I did get it.”
She was afraid that she would be robbed if she wore something worth a few million on herself.
“It’ll be a waste if I’m only going to put it in my drawer after I buy it,” Mu Xiaoxiao said, trying to convince not only William but herself as well.
William smiled. “If you really mean what you say, you wouldn’t be gawking at it so much then.”
Mu Xiaoxiao felt a little awkward and rubbed her nose. “It’s not mine anyway. At least it’s free to look at.”
If there wasn’t a rule prohibiting photography at the auction, she would definitely take a picture of it as a memento.
She had shopped at many jewelers but had never seen a necklace that was in the shape of a strawberry.
It was really unique as though it had been specially made for her.
If she could, she would really want to own it…
Suddenly, a familiar bullying voice rang out. “Ten million!”
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. She turned to look over at Yin Shaojie, and she saw that he was grinning at her.
In the next second, the person beside her raised his hand too. “15 million!”
Mu Xiaoxiao whipped her head back violently and looked at William in shock. “What are you doing? Stop fooling around!”
Could these guys stop fooling around with this?
This was money they were talking about!!
Yin Shaojie seemed to have no hesitation as he called out, “20 million!”
The other bidders raised the bids in increments of a hundred thousand or a million, but these two were extremely bold and kept bidding in increments of five million without batting an eye. Those who didn’t know better might mistake them as only bidding in increments of 500 dollars!
Upon seeing that William was about to raise his hand again, Mu Xiaoxiao held his hand down forcefully and glared at him as she ordered, “Stop bidding!”
