Afterwards, they officially entered the auction stage and they sat down at the designated location.

Various jewelry on the stage emerged one after another, and auctions began one by one.

Lu Yuxin donated a diamond bracelet, which started with 70,000 yuan, and she bought it for 100,000 yuan.

Lin Yike didn't want to show off at all. He donated an inconspicuous jade ring worth about 50,000 yuan and was photographed by the Chen family's lady.

Then came Zhong Xiaoting's gold-inlaid jade bracelet. The starting price was 50,000 yuan.

Zhong Xiaoting couldn't wait to take the lead in lifting the number plate, "50,000."

"Fifty-five thousand."

"Sixty thousand." Soon some people bid, and then the price rose to 75 thousand, and then no one bids again.

Everyone present is with visionary vision. The market price of this bracelet is only around 60,000 yuan. No one will be so stupid that he gives an outrageous price.

"Eighty thousand." Zhong Xiaoting raised the number plate.

After that, there was a brief silence. The host picked up the small hammer and was about to drop the hammer when someone suddenly raised the number plate again on the field.

"100,000." The sign was holding a young girl, who didn't look conspicuous, but the one sitting next to her was Mrs. Gu.

Everyone present looked in the direction where the Gu family was sitting. Old Mrs. Gu still had no expression on her face, and she was tilting her head and chatting with the people beside her.

Zhong Xiaoting's hands couldn't help but tremble. The 100,000 yuan was the bottom line given to her by her grandmother. She had to pay for the excess money. Zhong Xiaoting felt a pain in her heart, but she didn't want to lose face. After a little struggle, she raised the number plate again.

"110,000."

"150,000." As soon as Zhong Xiaoting finished the price, the other party then raised the sign.

It turns out that he is a family, rich and powerful.

This time, Zhong Xiaoting not only trembled her arms, but also trembled a little. She raised the sign tremblingly and offered 160,000 yuan.

But immediately afterwards, the other party raised his hand gently, "Two hundred thousand."

Lin Yike couldn't help frowning and glanced at Mrs. Gu's direction. The old lady, who was over 80 years old, was strong and dignified and polite.

Although Zhong Xiaoting's behavior of wearing fur at the auction was a bit rude, as a respected elder, she also has the best interest in being petty with a junior.

Just as Zhong Xiaoting was about to raise the sign, Lin Yike held down his arm.

"Be rational." Lin Yike whispered.

It didn't rain again today. Zhong Xiaoting's mind was soaked that she would compete with Gu's consortium for financial resources.

Zhong Xiaoting bit her lip tightly, feeling aggrieved and helpless.

The price stayed at 200,000, and whispers were faintly heard around.

"I can't afford to even 200,000 yuan, I look so poor."

"It's not her fault that she is poor, but it's annoying to be poor and show off her wealth."

...

Zhong Xiaoting's face was pale and her emotions became more and more excited.

Lin Yike looked at her and sighed helplessly, "The mouth is on others, so don't pay attention to them."

At the beginning, she was ridiculed by a strange man, and those words were much more unpleasant than what she said now. If she had taken it to her heart, she would have been pissed to death.

But Zhong Xiaoting's self-esteem is too strong, and she does not have Lin Yike's good attitude, and Lu Yuxin is adding fuel to the fire.

"People's words are terrifying. If you lose face at auction, don't even think about raising your head in the circle in the future. Don't want to marry into a well-known family."

"Have you said enough?" Lin Yike interrupted her with a slight anger. She really didn't bother to watch the fun. At this time, she didn't think about how to persuade Zhong Xiaoting, and she was still angry.

They came together, and they all prospered and suffered from the same loss. Zhong Xiaoting was embarrassed and their faces looked good!

Lin Yike originally grabbed Zhong Xiaoting's hand tightly, but at this time, Zhong Xiaoting almost lost her mind and threw her away with force. "Don't worry about me."

After Zhong Xiaoting finished speaking, she immediately raised the sign, "Three hundred thousand."

Zhong Xiaoting and Mrs. Gu went back and forth, and the price finally reached 600,000.

When the host made the final decision, Zhong Xiaoting collapsed on the chair, as if she had been drained from her strength.

Beside him, Lu Yuxin smiled gloomyly, and Lin Yike could only sigh helplessly.

"Go back first." Lin Yike stood up from the chair first, reached out to stroke Zhong Xiaoting. Seeing Zhong Xiaoting's appearance, his legs were weak and walking became a problem.

It’s really a matter of self-inflicting a fat man with a swollen face.

As soon as they stood up, the auction staff came over, holding a jewelry box in their hands. The box was naturally filled with the bracelet with gold and jade, which meant to ask them to pay the bill.

The three of them didn't have enough money, so Zhong Xiaoting trembledly signed with a pen, promising to pay again tomorrow, and hand over the money and deliver the goods.

Those who participated in the charity auction were all well-known families, so they were naturally not afraid of losing money. The staff collected the signature form and left politely.

Lin Yike, Zhong Xiaoting and Lu Yuxin returned to the Lin family. Old Mrs. Lin knew that Zhong Xiaoting had bought a gold-inlaid jade bracelet worth less than 600,000 yuan for 60,000 yuan, so she almost didn't get angry.

Zhong Xiaoting was nestled in the old lady's arms, crying so wronged, as if the mistake had nothing to do with her, it was all caused by others.

"Don't you know that Mrs. Gu is taboo about fur? Why do you even encourage Xiaoting to wear fur!" Old Mrs. Lin slapped the coffee table in front of her, and a bang.

Older people are quite strong, and they are really strong.

Lu Yuxin and Lin Yike were both there. Lu Yuxin rolled her eyes, Lin Yike lowered her head slightly, and neither of them spoke.

Old Mrs. Lin became even more angry and pointed her hand at Lin Yike, "Yike, Xiaoting is following you to the charity auction. Why don't you take good care of her? She has lost her face and suffered so much grievances."

Faced with the questioning of Mrs. Lin, Lin Yike subconsciously frowned. In this family, she was the only one who was weak. Old Mrs. Lin was angry at her, and she was just a persimmon picking up a soft pinch.

Such things were not without a life before. Lu Huixin always taught her to respect and be filial to her elders. Even if the elders are wrong, they are right. This is filial piety.

Therefore, when Mrs. Lin was angry at her without reason, Lin Yike chose to swallow his anger, wondering how much blame she took for Zhong Xiaoting and Lu Yuxin.

But, it was once, now, and now. If they want to treat her as cannon fodder, it would be a delusion.

"When Xiaoting's cousin was choosing clothes, I had already suggested that her outfit was not suitable. She insisted on wearing fur. At the auction, I also tried to stop her, and she was determined to do so. I think Xiaoting's cousin would not attend such occasions in the future. If she didn't join in the fun, she would not be afraid of losing face."

"You..." Old Mrs. Lin didn't expect Lin Yike to talk back, and she was so sharp-tongued. She suddenly became furious and pointed at Lin Yike's nose and cursed, "It's really uneducated. This is your attitude towards elders!"

"Xiaoke, what's wrong with you today? You are so angry. Grandma is an elder. What should you do if you make the old man angry?" Lu Huixin interrupted in time.

She is really good at speaking. She speaks beautifully and achieves the goal of adding fuel to the fire.
