Blinking her eyes, Era smiled and walked slowly into the exhibition center with the flow of people.
The charity auctioneer was opening. They only needed to get the invitation and ticket. The price of the admission ticket was high, but it was not a problem for Era who was trying to pay. Since it didn't have any right to other participants, many of them wore casual clothes. Naturally, Era didn't cause any other attention.
Era walked into the hall and studied the brochure of the auction items asked by the receptionist. She stared at the price tag first. Since she came in, she would choose the highest one.
The jade Ruyi donated by the boss of a financial group was of good quality and exquisite workmanship. They were at a low rate of six hundred thousand. Era nodded and made a decision. The final price was not less than one million and eight hundred thousand.
She turned a few pages later and found that the value of everything else was really low. However, when she turned to the last page, she was stunned, "Flower Love World!" She muttered as she looked at the set of jewelry on the photo.
It was actually a bracelet and necklace. Rose carved with agate, each rose has different shapes and exquisite workmanship. All of them were related by crystal, and looked pretty real.
This set of jewelry was a gift from her grandfather. When the Xu family had a crisis back then, her mother had to sell it off in order to help the Xu family get through the difficulties. Later when her mother had saved some money to redeem it, she only heard that the person who bought the jewelry had already gone abroad and no one had ever heard from the person.
Since then, "Flower Love World" had become mother's sore spot. When she was seriously ill, she didn't forget to remind Era to find it back, or she would be too ashamed to face her dead grandfather.
What a surprise! She had been looking for it for such a long time and it was a coincidence that she met it here.
At this moment, a young man in sunglasses was talking on the phone not far from Era. "Mr. Qi, the 'Flower Love World' you mentioned is in the auction list. It's an item for second auction. Would you like to have a look?"
Half an hour later, the charity auction began.
At the gate of the exhibition center, Brooks entered in a hurry.
When the necessary information and photos of "Flower Love World" appeared on the big screen, Era was nervous with her little hands sweating. Today, she must help her mother to redeem it!
Looking at the beautiful jewelry on the screen, Brooks smiled. That's right! That's what Era said to him. 'Era must be thrilled to see it. I must buy it today!'
Because he was late, he didn't notice that Era was standing in the front row. As a result, the price of the "Flower Love World" was raised to six hundred thousand at a time, which was far more expensive than its own value.
"Six hundred and fifty thousand." Era raised her paddle again. Damn, who was bidding against her on purpose? He couldn't help but turn around to search the crowd. Among the crowds, she saw a familiar handsome face. He raised his number plate and said, "six hundred and eighty thousand."
Brooks!? What did he want? For Anna? Era stared at him unhappily. It seemed that Brooks also felt her strong resentment and turned his head. When their eyes met, he was stunned.
Era rolled her eyes at him and raised her paddle. "Seven hundred thousand." She decided to give it a try. Money was meaningless to her anyway.
Brooks froze and didn't move. It was not until the moment that the hammer was closed that Era breathed a sigh of relief. She finally redeemed the "Flower Love World" for her mother.
"Era." In the corridor, Brooks called out to Era who was going through the formalities with a worker.
"Mr. Qi, what's wrong?" Era turned back, with a hint of alienation in her eyes.
"Era, don't get me wrong. I bid this jewelry for..."
"I don't want to know why." Not wanting to hear the reason that would make her heart ache, Era suddenly interrupted him and said with a cold smile, "the point is that I am the one who bid for this set of jewelry. Mr. Qi, shouldn't you congratulate me on my successful bidding at a 'high price'?"
