The CEO's Woman

Chapter 232 Sold

The Auction continued without any mishaps.

"Our next item was one of the most sought after necklaces twenty years ago. This piece had been worn by a royalty member in D Country. It contains fifty emeralds and 47 diamonds, all handcrafted by one of the most talented jewelry makers, thirty years ago."

"Ladies and gentlemen: The Harmony." The auction manager dramatically introduced the next jewelry, which instantly earned a lot of gasps from the audience.

"Let’s start from a hundred thousand dollars bid."

"Two hundred thousand." An older woman wearing a long purple gown raised the paddle.

"Three hundred,"Jiang Yue said, loudly enough for everyone to hear. She liked this particular necklace and was planning to give it to Zhao Feiyan.

"Five hundred," Jiang Mian instantly blurted, looking provokingly at Jiang Yue. She had seen Jiang Yue’s reaction when the item was brought on stage. She couldn’t let her get it.

"Six," the woman in purple said.

"Seven," an older man chimed in.

"Eight," Jiang Yue raised the bid without bothering to look at Jiang Mian.

"A million." Jiang Mian’s words instantly earned whistles and gasps from the other guests. Many people looked at her like she was crazy. A million dollars? For this kind of necklace? It was not worth it.

At this point, Jiang Yue already knew what Jiang Mian had wanted. With a smile on her face, she looked at Jiang Mian, "A million and two hundred."

Seeing Jiang Yue’s smiling profile, made Jiang Mian even more enraged. She raised an eyebrow at Jiang Yue before smirking. "One point five."

Did Jiang Yue think that she could get the necklace that easily? How foolish of her.

"One point six," Jiang Yue responded, without batting an eyelid. Her answer had already earned her a lot of glances from the other businessmen. They couldn’t help but wonder, why would CEO Fu want to spend this amount for a necklace. Could this necklace be for his fiance? If so, CEO Fu was really extravagant.

"Two million," Jiang Mian raised an eyebrow at her. Her purpose was to make Jiang Yue use more money. Since she wanted this item so badly, then she should be ready to spend more, right?

But she was wrong.

Who would have thought that Jiang Yue would not bid anymore? She just raised a glass of wine toward Jiang Mian and gave the latter a dazzling smile. Two million for this type of jewelry... Jiang Mian was simply not thinking straight.

Jiang Yue knew that Jiang Mian had wanted her to spend more money on this jewelry. However, Jiang Mian should have known that this jewelry was not worth it. Although the necklace was very beautiful, two million dollars would still be an extravagant price.

"Two million going once? Going twice? SOLD! The Harmony is sold to the lady in red." The auction manager said as he pointed at Jiang Mian. "This is, by far, the highest bid that we had for the night, I would like to thank this pretty miss for her help. As I have said earlier, half of the proceeds will go to the charity organizations."

"Everyone, please give the miss in red a round of applause." the auction manager added. action

Jiang Mian gritted her teeth before getting up to wave at everyone. She faked a smile, sending a side glance at Jiang Yue, who was leisurely drinking her wine. Jiang Yue was not even looking at her.

Jiang Mian angrily sat back and answered some question from different women, who initiated some nonsense conversation about the necklace. For some reason, they were not really surprised that Jiang Mian could afford to buy the necklace, after all, she had already starred in many films.

Jiang Mian took a deep breath as she tried to compose herself. Right, she was just affected by her hate towards Jiang Yue. She should have known that it was quite a stupid move. She tried to convince herself that she just made a wrong assumption due to her hate towards Jiang Yue. She clenched her fists and told herself that she should not be this impulsive in the future when it came to this woman.

Jiang Yue was a cunning fox, there was no way that she would go down without a proper fight.

Now, she would have to explain to Li Qiang why she had spent two million dollars just for d*mn necklace. How hateful.

Who knew how many men she would need to sleep to compensate for this loss?

Only the thought of Li Qiang, made her more depressed. Li Qiang might have introduced her to the people in the film industry, but he had never once treated her as a daughter. She paid for everything that he gave her, sleeping with different men and obtaining some useful information for Li Qiang.

Sometimes, she would even wonder, if Li Qiang was really her biological father. If he was, then how come he was so rude to her and used her as a toy? Jiang Mian assumed that maybe Li Qiang just hated her mother, because he loved Wang Ruo. But as time passed by, she realized that Li Qiang had never really cared for her. He only cared for his hate towards Jiang Yue. As for the reason of this hate?

Even Jiang Mian was not aware of it.
