After the host introduced the auction items, the bidding officially began.
“Mom, I’ll bid for this crystal diamond and gift it to you!” Wenwen declared confidently.
Fu Yunruo smiled warmly, touched by her son’s thoughtfulness and filial piety. “Mom is already happy with your intention, but you should keep this money for yourself,” she spoke gently. “Don’t you want to save for future capital?” This little guy had big ambitions, wanting to become a super tycoon!
Wenwen was undeterred and replied confidently, “It’s alright, I can earn money later.” His mom was the most important right now. Besides, he was still young, and there will be plenty of opportunities to save money. Once he became famous, he could make it all back in no time!
Doing a good deed for charity and giving Mom a gift to make her happy — it was a win-win situation!
However, many people were also interested in this crystal diamond, as it was pure, transparent, and had a considerable carat weight. It was also carved by a world-renowned sculptor, making it one of the more valuable items in the auction.
The starting bid for the item was 500,000, and each subsequent bid had to increase by at least 50,000.
Soon, people started bidding: “550,000.”
“600,000.”
“650,000.”
Wenwen was about to move, and held up the paddle high, “700,000!”
“One million and a half.”
Everyone looked toward the person who bid, and it was none other than Chang Zhuyou. It was certainly unusual to see someone directly double the price. The value of the diamond was around 1,200,000, and 1,500,000 had already exceeded its actual worth. Whether it was to give a face to the Chang family or because it went beyond their budget, most people remained silent, with only a few hesitating.
Wenwen couldn’t help but puff his cheeks. Why couldn’t this person follow the norm and raise the bid harmoniously? He reluctantly added, “2 million.”
“Three million.”
Wenwen felt annoyed. His little savings were barely below 4,000,000, and he couldn’t afford to bid higher. But how could he lose to that annoying person? Besides, he had already promised to win it for Mom.
“Three and a half!”
This bid was far beyond the actual value of the item. Others chose not to participate, and all eyes were on the young master of the Chang family competing with a little kid.
A kid?
People couldn’t help but smile when seeing the pouting little child sitting on Si Yue’s lap. He was an adorable little fellow, with chubby cheeks, fair and tender skin, and exceptionally beautiful features. Elderly people, in particular, loved this kind of child the most, and their hearts softened when they saw him.
So, when they looked at Chang Zhuyou, who insisted on competing with such a little child, many people couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
It wasn’t a rare or uniquely meaningful item. What’s wrong with giving way to a child? It seemed arrogant to compete with a little kid. How narrow-minded.
