Madam's Awakening Shocks The Whole World-Chapter 95 - 93: Does Miss Qin have anything to auction?1

Chapter 95: Chapter 93: Does Miss Qin have anything to auction?1

"Let’s go inside!"

Jiang Qingtian said, feeling as if an intense gaze had been following him the whole time, making him look around alertly. However, he couldn’t locate the source of that gaze.

Qin Qin nodded, knowing that the man behind her had been watching her all along!

Lin Hua greeted Mo Yunchen with a smile, "President Mo, let’s go in!"

Being of the same generation as Mo Yunchen, and also being the head of one of the Four Great Noble Families, Lin Hua wasn’t much lower in status than Mo Yunchen, so he wouldn’t call him Master Mo, only President Mo.

Mo Yunchen looked towards Qin Qin’s position, only to see that she and Jiang Qingtian were already heading into the villa. His eyes darkened and he walked forward with long strides.

After the episode earlier, the Lin Family was not in the mood for any frivolity and directly commenced the charity auction at the gala dinner.

The attendees were all from the Four Great Noble Families and some of Jingdu City’s top-tier noble families. The second-tier noble families would not even receive an invitation from the Lin Family.

While the guests were not fond of the so-called charity, they gave face to the Lin Family and would each donate an item of moderate value.

A charming hostess stepped onto the stage, said some pleasantries, and then invited Elder Master Lin to speak a few words about charity before the charity dinner began.

"Up next is a ten thousand value bracelet donated by Miss Lao Wan, the daughter of Director Lao from the Lao Corporation. Let’s applaud Miss Lao Wan for her generosity. The bidding for this bracelet starts at fifty thousand, with a minimum increase of ten thousand each time, begin!" The attractive auctioneer said with a girlish laugh, as a ceremony girl in a cheongsam presented the nearly new bracelet in a jewelry box before everyone.

"Sixty thousand!"

"Eighty thousand!"

"One hundred and twenty thousand!"

After one hundred and twenty thousand, no one else bid, and the auctioneer announced that Lao Wan’s bracelet had been sold to a buyer for one hundred and twenty thousand.

"Next up is a famous painting donated by Madam Jiang and Director Jiang, valued at one and a half million. We would like to thank Madam Jiang and Director Jiang for their kindness. The bidding for this painting starts at one million, with a minimum increase of one hundred thousand each time."

"One million two hundred thousand!"

"One million eight hundred thousand!"

"Two million!"

Mo Qianhui listened with satisfaction as the price of the painting she had donated steadily rose. She raised her head proudly, surrounded by the admiration of several ladies, gracefully chuckling to herself.

In the end, the painting donated by Mo Qianhui was sold for two million eight hundred thousand, and her face beamed with satisfaction.

"Next is a necklace valued at three million, donated by Miss Lin Tianya from the Lin Family."

As soon as the beautiful auctioneer finished, the entire room gasped in astonishment at the generosity of Miss Lin Tianya. Lin Hua looked on contentedly; his daughter had just returned to the country, and of course, he wanted to create momentum for her. Three million, though not much, was already about the highest in the whole event.

"Tianya, you’re really willing to part with it!" Lao Wan, sitting next to Lin Tianya, said enviously. Although she came from a very well-off family, she would hesitate to donate a necklace worth three million. In fact, the most any daughter of the families present had donated was only a few hundred thousand, just for appearances. Who would want to donate something worth millions?

Lin Tianya smiled softly, "Not really, I just feel sorry for those people, so I casually picked a piece of jewelry to donate to them."

Lao Wan looked enviously and pursed her lips, "The Four Great Noble Families are indeed enviable; even a casual piece of jewelry is worth millions."

In the end, Lin Tianya’s jewelry was bought back for four million five hundred thousand.

Lin Tianya’s lips were gently curved in a warm smile as her gaze unwittingly shifted towards Jiang Qingtian not far away. Seeing his attention was fixed on Qin Qin, her eyes darkened, and her hand gripping tightly at her side.

"Tianya, what are you looking at?" Lao Wan’s eyes followed Lin Tianya’s gaze to see Jiang Qingtian and Qin Qin, and her expression turned sour instantly, "That slut, she’s shameless. Hmph, she thinks she can join our high society looking like that, let alone vie for Young Master Jiang’s affection. The position of Young Madam Jiang could only possibly belong to you, Tianya."

Lin Tianya moderated her expression before replying, "Alright, let’s not talk about unpleasant things. Look at the stage."

"Do you see anything you like? I’ll bid for it for you, as a gift to thank you for saving me," Jiang Qingtian said with a gentle and affectionate gaze. He actually just wanted to give her a gift, not willing to use the excuse of saving a life, but he knew that without this excuse, she would definitely not accept it.

"Not for the moment!" Qin Qin shook her head; the item she wanted to bid on had not yet been presented.

Jiang Qingtian’s eyes dimmed, "Alright then, tell me when you see something you like, and I’ll bid on it for you."

Qin Qin did not respond, but her eyes stayed glued to the stage.

At this moment, three elegant hostesses walked onto the stage, each holding a rather antiquated box and slowly opened them.

When the true contents of the box on the right were exposed, Qin Qin’s smile widened as Xiao Fong excitedly jumped around in her private space.

Mo Yunchen was sitting beside Old Master Lin, who was incessantly chattering away. Mo Yunden responded mildly, his gaze subtly resting on Qin Qin’s place not too far to his left. He watched her chatting pleasantly with his nephew, her expression nonchalant as she observed the auction items, until the three hostesses appeared and her eyes suddenly lit up, her beautiful face momentarily radiating brilliance, evoking a wickedly handsome smile from the otherwise grim-faced Mo Yunchen.

"Yunchen, how do you find my collection?" Old Master Lin asked with a chuckle, gesturing towards the stage.

Mo Yunchen’s glance moved to the three items on stage, left to right: the first was a piece of white jade, the second a small porcelain object, and the third... it was Buddha Beads.

Mo Yunchen’s lips curled up, finally knowing why she had come here. Thinking of how his Buddha Beads had been forcefully taken by her, he involuntarily shook his head inwardly.

"Very good! I’m afraid that even my own family’s elder cannot match Old Master Lin’s collection," Mo Yunchen remarked sincerely. Old Master Lin’s life’s greatest passion was collecting antiques, and his collection could fill a room of several hundred square meters.

"Ha ha," Old Master Lin laughed, clearly pleased.

Meanwhile, the beautiful auctioneer on stage continued with the formalities, "Next up are three treasures donated by Elder Master Lin. The first item is Hetian Jade from the Ming Dynasty, valued at two million five hundred thousand, with a starting bid of two million, and increments of two hundred thousand."

Eventually, the Hetian Jade sold for three million six hundred thousand.

The second item was porcelain from Jingde Town of the Qing Dynasty, which sold for two million eight hundred thousand in the end.

And now, the last item, the ’Buddha Beads’.

Qin Qin straightened up, her eyes intently focusing on the Heavenly Bead on stage.

"The next item is Buddha Beads once worn by a high monk. It is said that these beads possess incredible powers, so those who are interested, please bid generously. The starting bid for the Buddha Beads is three million."

Whether these Buddha Beads truly held any incredible power, Elder Master Lin did not know. He had come across them unintentionally and found them comfortable to hold, but beyond that, he felt nothing particular.
