Chapter 1436: Chapter 1450: Thoughtful

Suddenly feeling a gaze behind her, she turned her head and saw Sijia in the third row not far away, smugly lifting her chin towards her.

An Ran sneered inwardly; only she would play such games.

To auction off what Ye Sheng had once given her, something she treasured, was it to see if she’d bid on it, or to humiliate her by bringing up the past?

If she really thought that way, she’s underestimated her.

From the moment she saw Ye Sheng in bed with her, both he and his things had become part of her past.

"Do you like this?" Lu Yi, to An Ran’s right, sensed her brief moment of strangeness.

He knew about An Ran’s relationship with Ansheng Company and Sijia, and he thought that a bracelet that elicited such a reaction from An Ran must have special significance for her.

Saying this, he raised the paddle beside him, directly increasing the bid to "five hundred thousand" after someone behind him had called out twenty thousand.

An Ran hadn’t even registered Lu Yi’s question when she heard his bid, and she tugged on his sleeve, "No need."

Not being able to forget an old love only means the new one isn’t good enough. Compared to Mu Xingfeng, Ye Sheng was nothing! Besides, she’d long since put him out of her mind.

But it was already too late.

Lu Yi’s bid caused quite a stir on the scene.

"What’s the story with the owner of this bracelet?"

"Didn’t the host say it’s an actress signed with Jiawen Entertainment? But I heard she’s also the eldest daughter of Ansheng Company. Now Ansheng and Tianda Group have a long-standing collaboration, is Young Master Lu trying to win over a beauty?"

Someone who knew Lu Yi whispered.

"Who knows, but even though Ansheng has a partnership with Tianda, it’s of no consequence in the eyes of the Lu Family, maybe the Lu Company just wants to have some fun with her."

"That’s hard to say, earlier twenty thousand seemed like a high bid already, but Young Master Lu bidding five hundred thousand is really something."

...

An Ran listened to the discussions behind her and rubbed her forehead in silence.

That bracelet was, at most, worth ten thousand. The gentleman offering twenty thousand earlier was already a sky-high price. If Lu Yi hadn’t raised the paddle, that gentleman would probably have taken the bracelet to please the beauty beside him.

Lu Yi suddenly offered fifty thousand, more than doubling the price. She really wanted to ask him, is this how auctions are supposed to go?

Forget it, after all, the money will be donated to the children, consider it a good deed, at worst, let Huo Shaohua transfer the money to Lu Yi later. It just ends up giving him the reputation of squandering money for a woman, which is a bit wasteful, especially for a woman like Sijia.

The auctioneer was thrilled to hear the bid, loudly announcing the latest price, "The gentleman at number eight has offered fifty thousand, is there a higher bid? Any further bids?"

An Ran watched the auctioneer, who seemed invigorated as if on adrenaline, stirring up the atmosphere onsite. Looking again at the bracelet, she felt a bit blocked in her heart.

Does she really not want it?

"Five million!"

At this moment, a deep voice came from behind, and in the corner of the venue, someone at number fifty-six suddenly raised a paddle.

The auctioneer’s eyes flashed with excitement; having legendary items auctioned during their career would mark their auctioneering history significantly.

Only, the fact that an ordinary diamond bracelet could be auctioned off for five million made the auctioneer’s voice tremble.

"Number fifty-six, the gentleman at fifty-six has bid five million, is there any higher bid? Any further offers?"

Lu Yi’s face didn’t look too good; he glanced back at where number fifty-six was, ready to raise his paddle again, but was gently held back by An Ran, "No more bids, I don’t like that bracelet."
