134: Chapter 134 The Shy Su Ming

The eyes of the entire room instantly focused on Lin Yi.

"Who is he? He's actually stealing the spotlight from Li Runze in public!"

"This necklace started at thirty million. Li Runze raising it to forty million was already outrageous, so why is this guy still bidding higher!"

"Fifty million... Wouldn't it be better to spend that fifty million on something else!"

"Exactly! You could buy a very flashy supercar with that!"

"With a supercar in hand, what kind of woman couldn't you chase? Why waste money on this necklace!"

Li Runze also looked toward Lin Yi, his eyes filled with extreme displeasure.

"Fifty-one million!"

In such an occasion, one absolutely cannot lose face!

Thus, Li Runze continued to raise the bid.

Lin Yi glanced at Li Runze and calmly raised his hand again.

"Sixty million."

Lin Yi felt that Li Runze was too stingy.

As the distinguished General Manager of the Li Group, he was so stingy when bidding, only raising it by one million at a time.

He had thought the Li Group was very powerful.

Now it seemed it was nothing special!

Lin Yi didn't feel bad about the money.

Anyway, he had just spent hundreds of billions on Su Ming, so buying her a small gift now was only proper.

Moreover, Su Ming's affection for him had already reached 98 Points.

She was about to become his person.

Lin Yi was never stingy when spending money on his own people.

Li Runze gritted his teeth in hatred.

"Seventy million!"

Even if he had to bleed money today, he couldn't lose face!

The people around them widened their eyes upon hearing this price.

This necklace only started at thirty million.

Now the price had more than doubled!

Everyone became curious about what kind of grudge existed between Li Runze and this man who was bidding against him.

Until they saw Su Ming sitting obediently beside Lin Yi, many who knew the inside story suddenly realized.

"So it's a grudge over stealing a wife... No wonder Li Runze is so worked up..."

"A grudge over stealing a wife? Did Su Ming break off the engagement?"

"Then what about their Su Family company? In this case, the Li Group definitely won't step in to help!"

"Are you stupid? Since that man has the strength to bid against Li Runze, he naturally has the strength to help the Su Family overcome their crisis!"

"Sigh, I'm so envious of Su Ming, having two such excellent men willing to fight over her."

"Hmph, isn't it just because she's pretty? I'll go get some cosmetic procedures, and I can definitely surpass her!"

"Forget it, Su Ming is all-natural. She has the looks and the figure; what do you have to compare with her?"

The onlookers around them were already whispering among themselves.

Upon hearing Li Runze bid seventy million, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of Lin Yi's mouth.

He thought to himself that Li Runze was still a man, with a bit of pride.

It was a pity that in front of the System, such pride was worthless.

"One hundred million!"

Lin Yi calmly shouted out a price that made the whole room gasp.

Li Runze snorted angrily.

One hundred million—he was not willing to continue raising the bid and be that sucker.

This premium was enough to buy two or three more identical necklaces.

Li Runze forcefully suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart.

He knew that Lin Yi was determined to outdo him today.

At the same time, Li Runze was incredibly shocked.

Who on earth was Lin Yi?

He had never heard of such a person in Nanjing before!

First he gave Su Ming two billion, and now he could actually take out one hundred million to buy a necklace.

This was all cash!

Who has nothing better to do than keep so much money on hand!

Li Runze asked himself: as the General Manager of the Li Group, he could only mobilize at most five or six hundred million in cash.

Compared to Lin Yi, it felt like a child playing house.

Li Runze clenched his fists tightly, giving up the idea of continuing to compete with Lin Yi.

This man, Lin Yi, completely refused to play by the rules.

He had never seen anyone bid like this!

"One hundred million, once!"

"One hundred million, twice!"

"One hundred million, three times!"

"Sold! Congratulations to Mr. Lin for successfully winning this necklace!"

As the auctioneer dropped the gavel, the etiquette attendant brought the incredibly exquisite pink diamond necklace before Lin Yi.

Lin Yi nodded politely and accepted the necklace.

Then he turned to look at Su Ming.

"Senior, I think this necklace suits you perfectly, so I'll give it to you!"

Su Ming's face turned red.

She had originally thought that Lin Yi bidding against Li Runze was purely because he disliked Li Runze.

She didn't expect that Lin Yi had actually won the bid for this necklace to give to her.

Lin Yi must have noticed the longing in her eyes when she looked at this necklace just now.

A sky-high price of one hundred million for a necklace... Was she... that important in Lin Yi's heart?

"Thank you..."

"Lin Yi, you are so good..."

Su Ming's affection +1 point.

Current affection 99 Points.

"Ding! Detected an increase in affection from the bound target Su Ming. Congratulations to the Host for receiving a reward of 1 Point."

Su Ming looked shy, her head kept low, too embarrassed to look directly into Lin Yi's eyes.

Lin Yi very naturally put the necklace around Su Ming's neck.

Su Ming only felt her heart beating violently against her chest.

It felt as if a little deer was bumping around inside.

Many ladies around them cast envious looks at Su Ming.

"Su Ming is so happy, there's actually a man willing to spend one hundred million to buy this necklace for her!"

"I'm crying. If there were a man willing to treat me that well, I would definitely follow him wholeheartedly for the rest of my life. If he told me to go east, I would never go west!"

"Me too, I'm willing to be his slave and maid for the rest of my life to serve him and satisfy all his needs!"

"Alright, wake up, are you making wishes here?"

"Why, aren't we allowed to dream..."

"Let's find a chance later to get that man's contact information. He's so rich, he probably wouldn't mind having a few more girlfriends..."

"What? You actually have such thoughts! Where are your principles? Where is your moral bottom line? And where is that man's contact information?"

Amidst the discussions of the crowd, Lin Yi helped Su Ming adjust her necklace and said seriously.

"Senior, you look beautiful."

Su Ming's face turned even redder in a flash.

Zhao Feier, who was on the side watching this scene, became even more determined to hold onto Lin Yi's thigh.

Just casually spending one hundred million on a necklace.

Following such a man, life in the future would be unimaginably happy!

The auction continued, and the etiquette attendant brought up the second auction item.

The host, Shen Xue, spoke.

"Alright, let's continue the auction."

"The second item is a painting."

"Everyone can see that this painting is exquisite in both brushwork and technique."

"However, there is no signature on the back, so we don't know which master it came from!"

"The starting bid for this item is five hundred thousand!"

"Let the bidding begin!"

The moment the second item was brought up, Tang Ruowei's eyes never left the painting.

"Grandpa..."

Tears welled up in Tang Ruowei's eyes.
