"Starting Price: Sixty Thousand!"
As the host's voice faded, a woman dressed in a Cheongsam approached the Exhibition Booth, carrying a tray.
She lifted the red cloth covering the tray, revealing an exceptionally dazzling diamond necklace that caught everyone's attention.
In the hall, many women were visibly moved by its beauty.
Luo Qi was no exception...
Meanwhile, Ma Feifei spotted the necklace, her eyes sparkling with excitement as she shook Mao Tianming's arm and playfully said, "Honey, my diamond necklace is dirty! Didn't you say you'd get me a prettier one?"
"Alright, alright!"
"You’re the best, mua—"
"Of course your husband is great; he’s much better than some people who only know how to talk."
With that, Mao Tianming raised his bidding paddle.
"Sixty Thousand!"
"Sixty-Five Thousand!"
"Seventy Thousand!"
…
The bidders were mostly shop owners who had brought their wives to the annual meeting. After all, such jewelry was what women loved!
However, Mao Tianming was unyielding and raised his paddle again, calling out, "One Hundred Thousand!"
One Hundred Thousand!
He pushed the price of the necklace to a new peak, significantly reducing the number of voices in the auction.
Especially when they saw that it was Mao Tianming who offered One Hundred Thousand, the other shop owners were even less willing to compete with him.
After all, these people were all trying to curry favor with Mao Tianming.
"Don't worry, dear! With me in the game, this necklace will definitely be ours!"
Mao Tianming's tone was filled with confidence as his gaze flickered towards Luo Qi.
He wanted this woman to know just how much wealth he possessed now, and to make her regret rejecting his advances back then. However, Luo Qi didn’t even glance in his direction. This irritated him somewhat.
Ma Feifei, on the other hand, snuggled up to Mao Tianming and planted a kiss on his cheek. "Honey, you're amazing!"
"Of course, your husband is definitely impressive, but..." Mao Tianming shifted the conversation. "We're about to bid on this necklace, yet I don't see anything that Luo Qi likes."
Ma Feifei also turned to Luo Qi with a provocative tone. "Qiqi, why aren’t you bidding on something you like? Are you worried your husband can’t afford it?"
"No..."
Before Luo Qi could finish her sentence, Ma Feifei sneered, "Your husband said that as long as it's something you like, he would spend even three hundred thousand to get it for you."
As she spoke, jealousy filled Ma Feifei's eyes.
One couldn’t deny that Luo Qi truly deserved the title of goddess in the hearts of men back then. Even after five years, time had not left a mark on her face; instead, she had become more refined and mature due to the passage of time.
Especially just now, when Ma Feifei noticed her husband glancing at Luo Qi a few extra times, her jealousy intensified. In the past, Luo Qi had captured attention with her hard work and beauty. Now that her own circumstances far surpassed Luo Qi’s, she naturally wanted to make Luo Qi look foolish!
"Are you really reluctant to spend money?"
"This is a Charity Auction; its significance is profound. We should give back to society once we earn money—there's no need to hide it!"
"Look at my husband and me; we spent a little money on something we liked and are also supporting educational development in impoverished areas!" Ma Feifei said earnestly.
To an outsider, it might seem like she was preaching from a position of success, but little did they know how dark her heart truly was.
Luo Qi clenched her teeth in frustration, unsure of how to respond.
