The auction progressed rapidly but Su Jianan was not paying attention to it.
She kept looking down and texting Su Yicheng.
Lu Boyan looked at her frostily, seeing when she would think of him.
"Next, we are auctioning a bangle donated by Mrs. Su." The auctioneer's voice ended and an image of the bangle appeared on the screen behind him. He started explaining the worth of the jade bangle to the people below the stage.
The auction for the bangle started but Su Jianan had not received Su Yicheng's reply.
She had no choice, she could only call Su Yicheng, but could only hear the automated response that his phone was switched off.
Someone had already bid 400,000 for the bangle.
Su Jianan frowned as she quickly thought. She would not allow the bangle to end up in anyone else's hand today no matter what.
"450,000"
"600,000"
The bids got higher and higher. Su Jianan felt very anxious. Just then—
"Three million."
A voice rang, not too slow nor fast. The entire place quietened down.
The bangle was smooth and its color was good, but it was not worth the exorbitant price of three million dollars.
Su Jianan looked at Lu Boyan in surprise. Why had he bid for the bangle with such a large amount of money? Was he spending money to help the auction?
"Three million going thrice!" The auctioneer hammered down. "Congratulations, Mr. Lu, you've successfully bid for this bangle!"
Su Jianan found that she was heaving a sigh of relief for no reason when she heard that.
The bangle had been bought by Lu Boyan. That was better than getting it back from someone else, right?
The last item up for auction was a small antique and was bought at a high price. The charity auction had raised close to ten million dollars. Tang Yulan announced that it would be used to help financially needy university students and to support rural education.
The charity auction ended and was followed by a celebratory party.
Su Jianan followed Lu Boyan and secretly picked at him several times, thinking about how to ask him about the bangle.
Lu Boyan allowed her to hold his hand but did not raise the matter about him buying the bangle.
Even if she did not know how to ask him for help, she knew how to ask him for the bangle, right?
After walking around twice, Lu Boyan was called away by some people he knew. Su Jianan saw Su Hongyuan and Jiang Xueli.
Her face suddenly grew cold and she headed for Jiang Xueli.
Su Jianan's mother's bangle had been discovered by Jiang Xueli by accident after she entered the Su family. She had hidden it away secretly. She knew why Su Jianan was coming for her and could not help but feel ashamed. She hid behind Su Hongyuan, seeking him for help secretly.
Su Hongyuan coldly looked at Su Jianan who approached them. He said, with an angry expression, "She's your aunt, not your enemy!"
"I finally know why you two got married." Su Jianan stopped, her face full of sarcasm, "Birds of the same feather flock together. The both of you are shameless, no wonder you ended up together."
Su Hongyuan's expression changed while Jiang Xueli was also angered. "Su Jianan, it's just a jade bangle. Your mother's been dead for so many years!"
