Chapter 403 Girlfriend teaches boyfriend how to do things
Yan Zhixu simply smiled at her, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Liang Liangwei raised an eyebrow.
Not indicating anything? Want to maintain an air of mystery?
Perhaps this truly proves the fallacy netizens had when pairing them up as a couple—not denying it is tantamount to admitting it.
She smiled and said, "Whether it is or not, I have to make this clear to you first. Although this Australian white pearl is very beautiful and the size of the pearl is indeed rare, I don't necessarily need it. Besides, I think there will be many people who want it. I'll give you a look later, so don't raise the price anymore, okay?"
Yan Zhixu turned to the side, playing with a few strands of hair by her cheek, and smiled amusedly: "Is Director Liang teaching me how to do things?"
Liang Liangwei winked at him and said, "I'm just a girlfriend teaching her boyfriend how to do things, is there a problem?"
Yan Zhixu chuckled lightly: "No problem."
Liang Liangwei patted his arm with a look of "you're a good student" and said, "Okay, it's settled then."
The auctioneer's voice drew their attention back: "Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for attending this auction..."
Soon, one item after another was presented for auction, starting with the smaller ones, and they were all snapped up one by one. Even Xiao Ling managed to buy two items.
Yan Zhixu tilted her head and said, "Besides that Australian white necklace, is there anything else that catches your eye? If there is, you can also take a picture of it."
Liang Liangwei knew, of course, that he was not short of money. With his wealth, he could easily buy out the entire collection of jewelry worth tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars per piece.
But she has her own bottom line.
“I don’t have a penchant for collecting jewelry. Once I buy something, I’ll use it to match my outfits, so I don’t need to buy that many. I only buy things that catch my eye, that I like, and that suit me.” She pointed to the Australian white diamond necklace in the booklet and said, “In this book, I only really like this one. As for the others, I’ll just leave them to whoever is meant to have them.”
The pictures of the Australian white pearl necklace in this booklet are extremely beautiful. Each pearl is round and full, with a bright luster and excellent quality. It is said that the largest single pearl is the size of a longan, and the smallest is no smaller than a lotus seed.
It would definitely look great with that cheongsam dress she's wearing.
After waiting for more than half an hour, the Australian white necklace was finally presented.
The moment Liang Liangwei saw the Australian white necklace, her eyes lit up. She sat up straight and stared intently at the necklace on the display stand, her eyes full of anticipation.
Yan Zhixu saw her reaction, smiled gently, his eyes full of doting affection.
At the same time, prepare for the auction.
At the same time, Xiao Ling, who was not far from them, also turned her head to look over. She looked Liang Liangwei up and down, then looked back at the Australian white necklace. After comparing them, she had an idea in mind.
"I need to say more about this Australian white pearl necklace. Ladies, you should all know how rare it is. These are all top-quality wild pearls from the sea. It's no exaggeration to say that wild pearls of this quality are one in a million. Now, the auction for the Australian white pearl necklace begins. The starting price is 800,000, and the bids will be in increments of 200,000."
No sooner had he finished speaking than someone began to bid: "100 million."
"120."
Liang Liangwei nudged Yan Zhixu's arm: "You can call out one."
Yan Zhixu: "Okay."
He picked up the cards in his hand.
But Xiao Ling beat her to it: "200 million."
A small commotion broke out among the crowd.
Yan Zhixu's voice was only one second apart from Xiao Ling's: "5 million."
Liang Liangwei was stunned for a moment, but it was too late to stop him. She watched helplessly as her uncle and sister-in-law called out their prices one after the other.
This is...awkward!
She hadn't expected that Xiao Ling would also be interested in the Australian white necklace.
Yan Zhixu only realized this after she shouted, and subconsciously looked towards her brother and sister-in-law.
The others also realized this and began to glance back and forth between the women around the brothers.
However, bidding is not a game; once you bid, there's no going back. Moreover, the person in charge struck the gavel after hearing the bid of 500 million, only to realize something was wrong afterward.
After a louder uproar, the crowd quickly fell silent again.
Many people wanted to see Liang Liangwei and Xiao Ling make a fool of themselves, and wanted to know if this girlfriend, who had just been acknowledged by Xiao Yan, was worthy enough to compete with the already stable Madam Yan.
In their view, although 200 million was already a high price, it was far from the 500 million that Yan Zhixu had asked for. This was already the limit for the price of the Australian white necklace.
Yan Zhixu displayed an air of certainty, clearly intending to prevent others from having the opportunity to continue bidding, so the others wisely stopped following suit.
Out of consideration for her relationship with her brother-in-law, Xiao Ling probably won't raise the price any further.
If Yan Zhixu wanted to consider his brotherly relationship, he would give the Australian white necklace he won at the auction for 500 million to his sister-in-law.
She's just a girlfriend, who knows how long the relationship will last? Maybe once the novelty wears off, she'll find someone else.
So, will Xiaoyan always consider her sister-in-law's feelings or protect her girlfriend's vulnerability?
Liang Liangwei gently tugged at Yan Zhixu's sleeve and whispered, "If your sister-in-law bids again later, don't follow suit. I don't want this Australian white fish anymore."
Yan Zhixu casually toyed with the bidding paddle in his hand, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Okay, whatever you say."
As he spoke, he noticed the look in Xiao Ling's eyes as she glanced at him, a look that was both helpless and amused.
The person in charge struck the gavel a second time: "500 million twice."
"500 million in three transactions, deal."
Liang Liangwei rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on as she thought about having to face Xiao Ling after the auction.
Her phone vibrated. She glanced down at it and saw a WeChat message from Xiao Ling: "[Weiwei, isn't it a coincidence? I thought this Australian white diamond necklace went really well with the cheongsam you were wearing today, and I was going to buy the one that Australian white diamonds are gifting to you. I didn't expect Zhixu to have the same taste as me and buy it for you at double the price~]"
Liang Liangwei was a little surprised; it turned out Xiao Ling wanted to bid on the Australian White wine and give it to her.
She looked over at Xiao Ling and saw the other woman wink and smile at her, and couldn't help but smile too.
When Yan Zhixu saw the WeChat message, he couldn't help but chuckle and reached out to ruffle her hair.
"So, this Australian white is destined to be yours."
After the Australian white fish was sold, the person in charge changed to the next item for bidding, and the auction continued.
Liang Liangwei went to the restroom.
As I went outside to wash my hands, I heard the sound of a gavel striking the auction house: "180 million, sold in three rounds."
I wonder who will win the next auction item.
Just as I was about to leave, I suddenly heard two women's voices coming from the cubicle.
"Who do you think Xiao Yan always gives the Australian white diamond necklace to? His wife, or his girlfriend?"
"Isn't it obvious? It must be Mrs. Yan. I've heard that although the two President Yans are separated by two countries for many years, they have a very good brotherly relationship. How could an unrelated outsider possibly ruin it?"
"That's right. Before the auction started, someone asked Mrs. Yan which family's daughter her young master Yan's girlfriend was. Mrs. Yan couldn't give a clear answer. She must be an ordinary person without any family background. She only didn't say it out of respect for her young master Yan."
"Yeah, yeah, I noticed that too..."
Liang Liangwei found it amusing; people who want to spread rumors really can get by with just their mouths, speaking without thinking.
Suddenly someone approached her and patted her on the shoulder.
