Chapter 153: Cupid's Arrow
On the high platform, a golden necklace suddenly appeared, with a blue sapphire in the center, emitting dazzling rays of light under the illumination, making the entire venue seem as if it had fallen into a dream-like state.
It is said that this Cupid's Arrow has had a total of eighteen owners, including wealthy merchants, royalty, politicians, collectors and so on. What is surprising is that everyone who has ever possessed the Cupid's Arrow has gained a perfect love. The previous owner of this Cupid's Arrow, when providing us with this gemstone, said that he had obtained his long-awaited love because of this gemstone. Now it is also time to pass this gemstone into the hands of the next person. He hopes that this gemstone can help the next person gain a perfect love. At the same time, he will donate all the proceeds from this auction to children in need in the western poor areas. Cupid's Arrow has been through eight auctions, and each time the proceeds have been donated to those in need. This is also unprecedented in the history of auctions. Therefore, Cupid's Arrow also has another name, the Love Stone. I hope everyone can continue this tradition. Our auction house will make an exception, no matter what price the Cupid's Arrow is sold for, our auction house will not charge a single penny. Now the auction begins, with a starting price of 1 million and each bid increase by 200,000.
1.2 million.
The sound came from the private room, and basically, those who could sit in a private room were truly wealthy people. The 10 million yuan price tag was not something that ordinary rich people sitting in the audience seats downstairs could afford.
"1.6 million." Another private room sent out a voice, but this time it was a girl's.
Su Yan Ni and Lucy both gazed at the gemstone with a look of infatuation, their eyes filled with an unhidden longing.
"A broken gemstone, Cupid's arrow, all just nonsense." Zhao Tiezhu said with a very unromantic tone.
"Get lost, you uncouth guy! No wonder you're still single." Su Yanni said with disdain, her face flushing red. Lucy also looked at Zhao Tiezhu with rare disdain. "I've heard of this gemstone overseas too. It's said to have a strange magical power that brings love to whoever possesses it. Sigh... if someone could give me this gemstone, I'd definitely marry him!"
"When a woman sees precious jewels, it's like a man seeing a beautiful woman with a radiant glow - they're both defenseless. Let's just watch." Sugura said softly beside him.
Zhao Tiezhu nodded slightly, but only looked at the longing in Su Yanni's eyes, and Zhao Tiezhu had a faint impulse in his heart.
At this time, the price of Cupid's arrow had already been added to 2.4 million, and several boxes were competing for it. The price of 2.4 million was from box No. 7, which was where the female voice came from.
This price seemed to stun everyone, and no one spoke for a long time. Just as the host was about to strike the gavel, a faint voice came through, "2.8 million."
It's room 9!
The person in room 7 seemed a bit annoyed and said directly, "3 million."
The voice in suite No. 9 of "3.2 million" was still calm.
3.4 million
3.6 million
3.8 million
The price shot up all at once, 200,000, 200,000 added, and there were indeed many rich people. Zhao Tiezhu thought to himself, but Su Yanni sighed, this kind of gemstone was not something a small police officer like her could afford in her lifetime, unless she married some rich merchant or something, but the truth was that there weren't many good rich men out there, and Su Yanni had never planned on marrying some rich merchant, finding someone similar to herself with a bit of money would be enough, living a simple life would be fine. Hmm, someone like Zhao Tiezhu would do just fine.
As soon as she thought of Zhao Tiezhu, Su Yanni was annoyed again. This guy seemed to be intentionally provoking her, talking about women with other men in front of her, almost ignoring her. Did she really have no feminine charm? Wasn't she attractive to Zhao Tiezhu at all? Su Yanni felt a bit helpless. She always thought that although Zhao Tiezhu looked very frivolous and lewd, he wasn't actually like that inside. He seemed to be disguising himself. Su Yanni hoped she could tear off Zhao Tiezhu's disguise and see the real him.
The price has reached 44 million again, but it's the voice of a man in room 7. At this time, room 9 is silent, as if intimidated by this price. Room 7 seems to have some resentment when reporting this price. Originally, something that could be bought for 24 million was increased by someone to 44 million, an increase of 20 million! Not 2 million! 20 million is a staggering amount, it takes a long time to count!
Just as the host was about to bring down the hammer in his hand, another change occurred.
4.6 million.
The voice came from Room 1.
Zhao Tiezhu faintly called out the price, and Su Ge laughed with a surprised expression at Zhao Tiezhu, saying "I said I'd give you something, but not something that expensive! Brother doesn't have that much spare money!"
Zhao Tiezhu looked down on Su Ge with disdain, "I thought you'd given up everything. Alas, it's all over now. I'll be sued for breach of contract and I don't have any money either."
Su Yanni suddenly became anxious and shouted, "You stupid X, you have no money but still dare to bid, what if the other party asks you to buy it? How can you afford it? Are you going to sell your house?" As soon as Su Yanni thought of selling the house, she felt a pang of anxiety in her heart, thinking that she and Zhao Tiezhu, Lucy Li Ling'er, Cao Ziyu, and others would have to separate.
Su Ge looked at Zhao Tiezhu with a hint of weirdness, then looked at Su Yanni, revealing an understanding expression, and stopped talking.
"What's to be done then? If we can't pay back the money, I'll have to go out and sell myself. 50 times a day, 20 yuan each time, it'll take several years to pay off... Yan Ni, why don't we go out and make some money together when the time comes?" Zhao Tiezhu asked with a worried face.
"Damn it, we're broke and still dare to haggle over prices. Now I just hope the price of room 7 can be increased again, otherwise we'll all have to go work as laborers to pay back the debt. If I borrow from someone, I should be able to get a million yuan." Su Yanni's face showed a hint of anxiety, but her words didn't contain any intention of shirking responsibility.
Looking at this woman who was flustered for his sake, Zhao Tiezhu suddenly felt that maybe he should really come out and start a new life. However, as soon as he thought of Su Yanni's violent tendencies, he immediately gave up on the idea. No rush, let things develop slowly, maybe she'll become gentle in the future, who knows? Moreover, if he were to get together with Su Yanni, what about Ziying Jie, Ling'er Mei, and Lucy? Alas, being handsome is also a kind of trouble, having too many women is also a hassle. Zhao Tiezhu shook his head in distress, which made Su Yanni think that he was regretful and remorseful.
"4.8 million." The voice from room 7 sounded a bit gritted.
"It's okay." Su Yanni had just let out a sigh of relief.
5.8 million.
