Seeing that Xia Zhixi had finally exposed her true nature, Xia Chenxing smiled in satisfaction and said, “Sigh, I thought Miss Xia was a gentle and virtuous person. It turns out that you’re just like me. But I don’t have to pretend. You’re working too hard.” After saying that, she deliberately patted Xia Zhixi’s shoulder. When she walked to her side, she whispered to her, “Don’t be angry first. This is only the beginning. Bear with it. Otherwise, I’m afraid you’ll die of anger. Be careful next!” With that, she twisted her hips and left, leaving Xia Zhixi fuming on the spot.

Not far away, Li Ruixu was sitting on the sofa, drinking champagne and watching a good show. From time to time, his lips curled up.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Qi couldn’t help but say, “Boss, Sister-in-law is really valiant!”

“How’s the dress?” Li Ruixu asked suddenly.

“Ah? It’s a gown that dazzles everyone!” Xiao Qi replied honestly.

“Yes,” Li Ruixu replied casually. He got up with the champagne and left.

“Esteemed guests, the charity banquet’s auction is about to begin. Please take your seats as soon as possible.” The auctioneer’s voice came from the radio.

Everyone found their seats and sat down. Xia Chenxing and Du Yangyang sat at the back. There was an unwritten rule in the auction. The closer one sat to the front, the more noble one’s status was and the more interested they were in the auction items. Sitting at the back was basically just to join in the fun.

The auction officially began. The first item was a Ming Dynasty landscape painting. Many wealthy families liked to buy these things to accentuate their taste. It didn’t matter if they didn’t understand how to appreciate it. As long as it was expensive, it was fine. The few big shots competed for it and it was sold after a short time.

The second auction item was an emerald ruyi. Although it was also an old item, the quality of the jade was not very good. In the end, only one person called a price and it was sold at the initial price. The next few items were not very stunning, but after all, it was a charity party. The money that was earned at the auction would be donated to charity. There were no items that failed to be auctioned. It was not until the last item was on the stage that everyone’s eyes lit up.

Xia Chenxing had not been very interested in the auction. She had been looking down at her phone, but when she heard the auctioneer say the words “Heart of the Forest,” she looked up abruptly. It turned out that the finale item was the famous “Heart of the Forest.” “Heart of the Forest” was an emerald from Colombia. The gem had a net weight of 28.8 carats and was a mozzarella green, and was oil-free. The gem was heart-shaped and flawless. It was surrounded by D-grade diamond fragments from South Africa. It was extremely luxurious and was the dream gem of many wealthy ladies. Unfortunately, there was only one such gem in the world. It was said that someone had once offered a hundred million yuan on the black market to buy this “Heart of the Forest,” but in the end, they had not been able to.

Xia Chenxing stared at the Heart of the Forest with shining eyes and asked in disbelief, “I didn’t hear wrongly. Is it really the Heart of the Forest?”

Du Yangyang’s gaze was also focused on the extremely beautiful gem. She replied, “Yes, I really didn’t expect your father to be so capable. He can even get such a precious thing. Amazing!”

“Looks like we’ve underestimated Xia Zhiguang,” Xia Chenxing replied.

As expected of the finale item, everyone present was extremely interested in this “Heart of the Forest”. After the auctioneer’s introduction, he announced the starting price of eight million. In less than ten seconds, the price was raised to 20 million.

But in the next second, a man in the front row raised his sign and shouted calmly, “Sixty million.”

Hearing that someone had offered such a high price directly, everyone looked over. So the person who had called the price was Yin Yisen.

“As expected of the young master of the Yin family. His family is indeed rich. Looks like Young Master Yin is planning to give this ‘Heart of the Forest’ to his fiancée. Miss Xia is really lucky!”

“Exactly. Such a perfect couple. I’m so envious.”

Xia Zhixi was sitting beside Yin Yisen, and sweetly holding his arm. Her face was full of happiness as she said, “Yin Yisen, I understand your intentions, but this gift is too expensive. It’s not necessary.”

“It doesn’t matter. Sixty million is worth it if it makes you happy,” Yin Yisen said to her affectionately.

But before the two of them could finish showing off their love, someone in the back row suddenly shouted, “80 million.”

The crowd was shocked again and turned to look at the back row. They did not expect Xia Chenxing to be the one bidding!
