Girl, I'll Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 240

The crown pendant was an exquisite piece of work which was created with care. It was embedded full of diamonds which flickered under the lighting, and its extravagance was blinding to the eyes. Just the cost of production alone was something to take note of, let alone, this piece also had a historical significance of long-lost craftsmanship of a few centuries ago. Though the starting price of 5 million euros was a bit high, it's market value might reach 10 million euros or higher.

Long Xiaoru said, "This is just the first item, the latter items will be even more expensive…" Disdain flashed through his eyes. Even they would be in the limelight if they were able to buy one of the items, let alone someone like Jiang Xiu.

10 million euros was equivalent to almost 100 million RMB. 100 million to buy a piece of jewelry was a huge amount no matter who was the one buying it.

"Didn't you say you're here to buy jewelry?"

"Why don't you buy it then?"

Jiang Xiu had naturally come to buy jewelry, but it was up to him whether he wanted to buy it or not. This Long fellow had no say in what he wished to do. His cold gaze swept across him, "Do I need to explain my actions to you? Who do you think you are?"

Long Xiaoru's eyes opened wide, "You dare to say such things to me?"

The surrounding Long family members created an uproar as well. They wondered where this brat had come from and set on going against the Long family. Their Long family was an elite family in China. They could bear the contempt of these foreigners but not from such a low-scum like Jiang Xiu. All of them glared at him furiously.

"What? Are you highborn from China? Are you that amazing?"

Xiao Xuetong pulled his clothes, hinting him to stop talking. These big shots weren't someone they afford to offend. The consequences of showing off would be too miserable for them.

Long Xiaoru's expression turned gloomier, "It seems like you're here to truly cause trouble today."

"Bodyguard, this person is a thief. Just take him away quickly."

The bodyguard wasn't Long Xiaoru's lackey that would listen to him just because he said it. Everyone who had the qualifications to come here was someone they couldn't offend.

Moreover, the bodyguard wasn't stupid as well. He could make out that these two didn't get along with each other.

"Didn't I say it's useless?"

"Do you want me to go find Mr. Lee? If I tell him, it might be hard for you to keep your job."

The bodyguard's expression couldn't help but change. "Mister, I'll have to trouble you to come with me temporarily. I request you to show some understanding. We need to verify your identity."

The people who took notice of the commotion kept increasing.

"What's happening over there?"

"Looks like someone caught a thief who had infiltrated inside."

"He's a VIP but do you think I am not one? If you grab me, aren't you scared you'll lose your job? Do you think I can't do it?" Jiang Xiu faced the bodyguard.

"That…"

All the people who were able to come here were significant people.

Long Xaioru saw that the bodyguard was acting timid and frowned, "He's just a poor brat who is here to cause trouble. He can't even afford to buy a single piece here. What are you afraid of? Just grab him."

Jiang Xiu remained indifferent to it!

Long Yingqing saw that the situation was turning worse. The people gathered around kept increasing as well. She came over while furrowing her brows, "It's you again!"

Her face was full of despise, "Didn't I give you money? Do you think you can take advantage of my Long family? Don't act foolishly. Your schemes are nothing in front of my Long family."

Long Yingqing believed Jiang Xiu must have found out that the Long family was well-off and thus planned to exploit the misunderstanding her family had to trick money out of them. This really made her feel disgusted. Only, this world never lacked this kind of disgusting people.

"Do you still want that check?"

"Don't even dream of it."

Long Yingqing turned her head back to look at Mr. Lee in worry and found that he was also watching over here several times. However, he was still interacting with the people around him. "Don't think of causing trouble here. It won't end well for you!"

"Keep an eye on him!"

Long Xiaoru said, "There's no need for you to say it!"

Long Yingqing returned back to Mr. Lee after that. She couldn't stay away for long as that person might get angry.

Long Xiaoru said to the bodyguard, "Did you hear it clearly? Since you don't dare to drive him out, keep an eye on him. After the auction ends, you can let him leave."

The bodyguard nodded. The reason they hadn't forcefully kicked Jiang Xiu out was that they worried he was really a VIP. Another worry was that he may get into a fight with another guest. The bodyguard couldn't take responsibility for that, so there was no harm in keeping an eye on him.

"Hmph!"

Jiang Xiu grunted. He had just come to buy things yet run into such a scene.

Xiao Xuetong still had lingering fears after she saw those people leave to interact with others. "These people from the Long family are really bold. They actually boss people around here. The Long family is really worthy of being a powerful, elite family of China. Why did you quarrel with them?"

"They are just worthless trash!" Jiang Xiu commented.

Xiao Xuetong rolled her eyes, "Do you even know what the Long family is? Really, those oblivious have no fear at all. Right! You really came to buy jewelry?"

"Indeed!"

It'd be a wonder if someone believed you. However, she believed Jiang Xiu wasn't a bad person. The scene from that day when he had chased after the van was still fresh in her mind. She could never forget it.

Long Yingqing returned beside Mr. Lee. He questioned her, "Who is that?"

"Just someone who wants to take advantage of my Long family."

Mr. Lee smiled coolly. He could sense loathe as well as disdain from Long Yingqing's face. He knew how arrogant this fiancée of his was. She acted arrogantly even when she was facing him and didn't pay much attention to his words sometimes. Long Yingqing's noble and virtuous nature was what he liked the most.

However, if this Mr. Lee knew that this proud fiancée of his had shit poured all over her body by Jiang Xiu, he'd be feeling something else entirely.

"Money and power can always make people crazy…"

"I know how to handle it!" Long Yingqing interjected.

Mr. Li continued, "The best way to handle this kind of person is to make him disappear from this world completely to awe those who plan to scheme against your Long family."

"There's no need to make a big fuss over such a minor issue!"

Mr. Lee smiled then pointed towards the pendant, "Do you like it? If you do, I'll buy it for you."

He was talking about the crown pendant being auctioned right now.

"12.5 Million Euros once!"

Long Yingqing was born of a wealthy family, so she wasn't as greedy as those ordinary women and didn't have much obsession with jewelry, but since a man was giving the present, it was proper to accept it, so she nodded.

Looking at her nod, Mr. Lee revealed a slight smile. This fiancée of his was quite mature and emotionless. She only showed a little of her feminine side when she faced him. He raised his hand to make a bid.

"Wow. Looks like Mr. Lee fancies this piece." The auctioneer was excited.

"15 Million Euros!"

He had increased the bid by 2.5 Million Euros in one go, which was a really huge amount. At the same time, he was also warning everyone that this item was his!

Under normal circumstances, everyone would take the hint and stop bidding.

But the competition was pretty high this time. There was a lord of Europe who was particularly interested in this piece of jewelry. It was someone from the Cadillac family.

"15.5 Million Euros!"

That nobleman from the Cadillac family gave a knightly bow towards Mr. Li to express his intent to compete fairly.

Mr. Lee raised the bid again, "30 Million Euros!"

This was indeed thrilling!

Everyone was stunned after hearing this bid. This was a really huge amount. He had doubled his previous bid.

The nobleman from the Cadillac family was dumbfounded as well. This jewelry piece once belonged to his ancestor but was sold away because they became poor. Now that the family was on the right track again, they planned to get it back.

He gasped in amazement then shook his head. 30 Million Euros was a crazy amount, and this was just a crown pendant.

Everyone knew in an instant that this piece was already in Mr. Lee's hands.

"Congrats, Mr. Lee!"

Mr. Lee shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "I'm not a lady so of course, I won't be wearing it."

"You should be congratulating Ms. Long."

Long Yingqing revealed a shy smile.

"3 Million Euros once…"

"3 Million Euros twice…"

At the moment the auctioneer was about to hit the hammer, a voice suddenly came through. "100 Million!"

"100 Million Euros!"

The entire venue exploded in a clamor. Are you kidding?

All of them looked towards the source of the voice. The noblemen, celebs, as well as the female stars all, looked at the bidder with utter shock in their eyes.

It was actually Jiang Xiu who had his hand raised.
