In the private room on the second floor.
After Luo Qing Chen changed her clothes, she very casually sat on the sofa.
Su Chen Zhou on the side looked at her and said, âYouâre very casual about all of this.â
âWhat? Does young master Su regret inviting me to this auction?â Luo Qing Chen revealed a faint smile and said, âIâve given you the money, so it isnât considered leeching off your glory.â
âOne dollar?â
âDo you think itâs too little?â
âDo you think that itâs a lot?â
Luo Qing Chen looked at his cold smile and questioning gaze before blinking to say, âAlthough it isnât a lot, as the saying goes, a person of your status shouldnât care about this money.â
Wasnât this auction just because they couldnât spend all of their money? So they were using the word âdonationâ to give to those in need!
âYouâre so eloquent now, why didnât you say anything when you were being bullied?â The information that Wang Wang gave him had included her past relationships, personality, and how she had been treated at school.
She had always been submissive and timid.
But now it seemed different from what was written.
âBecauseâ¦â¦â Luo Qing Chen thought about it before her eyes lit up and she said with a faint smile, âI wanted to say something but I found that young master Su really is a master of quarreling. Besides, itâs more fun listening to you criticize people.â
She could naturally anger Qian Xiu Xiu or Ye Bei Feng with her words, but she wouldnât have dumbfounded them like Su Chen Zhouâs words.
It was a feeling of having words in your throat, but being unable to say them.
It should beâ¦â¦very uncomfortableâ¦â¦
â
âXiu Xiu, donât be angry.â Gu Fang Fang saw that Su Chen Zhou had left, so she quickly came forward to say, âThat person wonât be proud for long, donât forget that we have a backup plan.â
âHumph.â Qian Xiu Xiu gave a cold snort. Her eyes were bloodshot and she angrily drank the cocktail in her hand, âOf course she wonât be arrogant for long, just wait for this young miss.â
Qian Xiu Xiu was waiting for when the âHeart of the Oceanâ came out. Luo Qing Chen would be dumbfounded at that time.
Two hours later, all of the items had been auctioned off.
The host stood on stage with a smile on his face, âNext, we will auction off the last item. It was the sapphire that Louis XVI gave to his wife in France. I think that many people have come here for this gem, itâs the Heart of theâ¦â¦â
But before his voice fell, someone from backstage gave him a wink.
The host was still smiling as he said to the crowd, âEveryone, please wait a moment.â
Everyone looked at each other with confused looks.
âDid something happen? Could it be that they arenât auctioning the Heart of the Ocean?â
âImpossible! Who is young master Su, the Heart of the Ocean doesnât mean anything to him.â
âThatâs right. But there are so many big bosses here, Iâm just here to see the number one sapphire in the world.â
â¦â¦
The sounds of murmurs could be heard all around. Su Chen Zhou said to Wang Wang who was standing behind, âGo find out what happened.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYes, young master.â
Wang Wang only took three minutes before coming back, âThis is bad, young master. The Heart of the Ocean is missing.â
âMissing?â Su Chen Zhou slightly knitted his brows, âHow could that happen with such a perfect security system?â
Wang Wang shook his head, âIâm not sure, but He Shen who is in charge of security is already coming over. He probably wants to explain this matter to the young master.â
Coming over? If he wasnât searching for the lost Heart of the Ocean, what was he doing?
