In the auction hall.
Bright and dazzling lights gathered in front of the auction stage. The auctioneer briefly introduced today's auction items. Priceless jewels were continuously pushed up.
With the sound of hammers, the progress of the auction is coming to an end. Most of the auction items have been auctioned off at high prices, except for the man in the VIP seat in front of him who is quiet. Some mild irritability.
Until the auctioneer on the stage mentioned the last bracelet, the heart of the sky.
Auctioneer: "This heart of the sky was personally created by the former chief designer of Tiffany. The Rockefeller sapphire in the center is 4872 carats..."
"...The starting price is 80 million."
There is a large display screen above the auction table, with a super macro lens showing every detail of the heart of the sky without any blind spots. The heavy blue gemstones glow with a luxurious luster, which is unbelievably beautiful under the illumination of the ceiling lights .
There were people raising placards in the audience, and the price was soon increased to 160 million. When the price reached such a sky-high price, the number of bidders gradually decreased, and only a few people were still slowly bidding at the price of 1 million to 2 million. plus.
The man in the VIP seat finally opened his eyes like a charity, and he motioned to Cheng Yan beside him.
Cheng Yan understood and conducted today's first auction.
Two hundred million.
Half of the few people who were raising their placards just now were silent. Although they couldn't see who was bidding in the VIP seat in front of them, but with such a hand in hand, the possibility of getting a bid was very small, and many people gave up.
Auctioneer: "Two hundred million once."
"Two hundred million times..."
At this time, another person in the corner raised his card and added 10 million.
Auctioneer: "210 million!"
Rong Zhen raised his eyes, and Cheng Yan directly increased the price to 300 million.
The last bidder in the corner also gave up. With the sound of "three hundred million three times", the final decision was made, and the auction of Heart of the Sky was completed with a transaction price of three hundred million.
Rong Zhen didn't stay long after the auction, and soon left the venue. Rong Qiao and Bai Yuxing were just about to say goodbye when they saw a familiar person coming out of the other side of the passage.
The young master of the Qin family.
Rong Qiao and Bai Yuxing looked at each other, and paused their steps.
Today's auction invited many prominent figures in Huai City, including the Qin family.
Although the Qin family has been suppressed by Rong Zhen in the past few years, their strength is not as good as before, but after all, the family has a big business, and it will not be reduced to the same end as the Fang family. There are still Qin family among the top wealthy families in Huaicheng's upper circle. Therefore, it is impossible for Bai Yuxing not to invite people from the Qin family.
Qin Cong seemed to have also seen Rong Zhen in front of him. He paused, then suddenly turned his gaze to the direction of Rong Qiao and Bai Yuxing, and walked over after a little hesitation.
Rong Qiao and Qin Cong didn't have much contact and didn't know each other well, but Bai Yuxing knew him, and they were half friends, but there was a layer of Lu Hui's relationship between them.
Bai Yuxing's mother and Lu Hui's mother are sisters, and Lu Hui is his cousin, so they met Qin Cong.
He called out, "Brother Qin."
Rong Qiao next to him didn't say anything, just nodded. The relationship between the Rong family and the Qin family has been very embarrassing in the past few years, and it can almost be said to have dropped to a freezing point. It's not easy to say anything.
What's more, Rong Qiao himself didn't like Qin Cong. Back then, his second brother suddenly started to suppress the Qin family. Rong Qiao knew the reason more or less.
If Rong Zhen is a ferocious beast that is difficult to train, then Qin Cong is a sinister poisonous snake.
"I remember that Mr. Rong bought a sapphire bracelet at Sotheby's auction five years ago. It is somewhat similar to today's Sky Heart. It seems that Mr. Rong is very fond of this style."
Bai Yuxing smiled: "The Heart of the Sky is a rare, rare and exquisite jewelry, so it is reasonable for Mr. Rong to like it."
Qin Cong glanced at Rong Qiao, and Bai Yuxing hugged her into his arms somewhat defensively.
Qin Cong: "I was lucky enough to see that bracelet once, and it really can't compare to today's one." He paused, and then said: "I remember that Mr. Rong seemed to give that bracelet to his wife..."
Rong Qiao's complexion changed, and he finally said, "My second brother seems to be free to give the bracelet to whom, so there's no need to talk about such things."
Qin Cong didn't mind being choked by her, and nodded thoughtfully.
Then he suddenly said: "I heard that Mr. Rong recently found Mrs. Rong."
Rong Qiao didn't react for a while, and was stunned for a moment.
They didn't hear anything about it.
She blinked.
So... Her second brother has already found her second sister-in-law, so why didn't she bring her back to Huai City? With her second brother's character, shouldn't she tie her back overnight?
As soon as he was about to ask something, Qin Cong said slowly: "Then Mr. Rong took this heart of the sky for Mrs. Rong, right? Three hundred million, a bracelet, Mr. Rong is really willing."
Rong Qiao couldn't hold back and grabbed Bai Yuxing's arm. She asked subconsciously in a low voice, "Then my second sister-in-law..."
Instead, Qin Cong stopped answering. He smiled and said, "I've only heard about it. I don't have any definite information. Maybe... Mrs. Rong took the initiative to find it after she was tired from playing outside."
"It's not surprising, what's strange is... Mrs. Rong seems to have given birth to a child, and Mr. Rong is also considered to be a successor."
Rong Qiao was a little stunned by the shock of this huge message, and there was no time to think about what Qin Cong meant when he said such a call, but Bai Yuxing took the lead and said: "This is Mr. Rong's family business, we people are not qualified to dictate. He quickly changed the subject: "Did Brother Qin get what he wanted at the auction today?"
Qin Cong patted the non-existent ashes on his fingers with downcast eyes, and said with a smile, "Almost, just as I got 210 million, Mr. Rong got 300 million."
Bai Yuxing and Qin Cong chatted back and forth for a few words, but Rong Qiao didn't listen to a word, her mind was full of her second sister-in-law and that child.
As soon as she left the auction site, she quickly asked someone to check it out, and soon the news reached her.
She found the child first, Jiang Chong.
Rong Qiao looked at the small face in the photo, who was familiar with the cold and arrogant eyebrows, and looked at the information that clearly stated that he was Rong Jin's illegitimate child. She frowned, thinking that the child born of Rong Jin's trash is not a fool. It's just a dude, no one can worry, this kid is obviously not like Rong Jin.
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell who he looks like with the temperament between his eyebrows and eyes.
Although the information she received was fairly complete, but she didn't pay much attention to the details, and it couldn't stand up to scrutiny at all. It was obviously a deceptive thing.
Jiang Chong stepped into the entertainment circle at a young age, and there were still people who escorted him to make fake information. This could never be done by Jiang Jili for him, and there are several pushers behind it.
Qin Cong's face flashed in Rong Qiao's mind, and then he suddenly thought in shock that Jiang Chong might know the truth of all this, Jiang Jili's past, the Rong family, and whose child he is.
Otherwise, he would not take risks as Rong Jin's illegitimate son.
Rong Qiao couldn't find any more useful information, so she could only ask Bai Yuxing to help her look it up, and reminded him to stay away from Qin Cong. Of course Bai Yuxing knew, so she just let her rest assured.
During the time when Bai Yuxing checked the news, Rong Qiao went online and looked at Jiang Chong himself, and found that he was actually a little famous in China, with more than 10 million fans on his personal account, and the company he signed with was still displayed, but that It has been a long time since the account has any new news, and the last news was three months ago.
He burst into flames suddenly, and his silence was also very sudden, as if everything was deliberately controlled by someone.
Rong Qiao felt that there were too many strange things in it, and he didn't have a clue for a while, so he stopped watching, but when he thought about it, he still felt a little worried about Jiang Jili.
Because she is well aware of her second brother's domineering and sinister character, Rong Qiao has seen his mental state in the past five years, and knows that he is definitely not someone who will let go easily, so she is even more worried, worried that his second brother will do something. More things that hurt Jiang Jili.
At this time in Tongqiao Town, Jiang Jili was in Shao Wei's piano shop.
During this period of time, the piano shop started to recruit new children again. Shao Wei begged him several times to continue to be a teacher. Jiang Jili knew that he had good intentions, so he didn't refuse, and soon the piano shop started classes as before.
Now it's time for rest, the children are playing at the door of the piano store, Jiang Jili is afraid that they will run away, so he also watches at the door, there are a few children gathered together, chatting about something.
Suddenly a little girl raised her head and called him: "Mr. Jiang, can you make little stars?"
Jiang Jili bent down and smiled, "What kind of little star does Luoluo want?"
The little girl and other children held up the things in their arms to show him. There were many strips of star paper and a glass bottle. There was not a single star in it. It is estimated that the children could not fold them together and put them together. Research.
The little girl named Luo Luo gave him a manual: "I want this kind of one, but Xiao Ding Xiaoxiao and the others can't fold it, and they can't understand the manual."
Jiang Jili took the paper from them: "Then Teacher Jiang taught you how to fold it?"
The children nodded in unison and cheered to make room for him.
The star paper is colorful, basically all the colors they have seen. Jiang Jili distributed a piece of paper to each child and taught them how to fold it step by step.
He is very patient no matter what he teaches, and the children learn quickly, and the stars stacked up cover the bottom of the glass jar in a short while.
They kept stacking until class was about to start, and the children returned to the piano store one by one, and the door became quiet. Suddenly, Luo Luo quietly grabbed Jiang Jili's hand and said that he would give him a gift.
Jiang Jili squatted down, Luoluo was jumping up and down, looking very happy, and asked him to close his eyes seriously.
Jiang Jili patted her head: "OK."
In the dark, he felt a chill on his wrist, and the child's warm fingers fumbled and tied a knot before he opened his eyes.
On his slender wrist, he wore a simple and beautiful multicolored star bracelet.
Luo Luo smiled sweetly: "Teacher Jiang, I'll give it to you."
Jiang Jili looked at the bracelet with a smile on his face, and he whispered, "Thank you Luoluo, I like it very much."
Luo Luo smacked on the side of his face: "Then the teacher is not allowed to pick it."
Jiang Jili: "Okay, when Luoluo comes to class tomorrow, check whether the teacher has taken it off, okay?"
Luo Luo: "Okay!"
