As people raised their cards, the price was soon raised to 30 million.
30 million was the highest price Zhou Jinnian had expected.
Although the jade bracelet was valuable, it was not worth it for him to spend 30 million on it.
When Zhou Jinnian saw that someone had offered 30 million, he immediately put down his card.
Seeing that no one continued to raise their cards, the hostess began to count down, "30 million once, 30 million twice, 30 million …"
Jiujiu directly raised her card for 40 million.
The hostess smiled and said, "40 million. Is there anyone who offers a higher price? 40 million once, 40 million twice, 40 million sold."
The moment the mallet fell, the bracelet was sent to Jiujiu.
Jiujiu casually picked it up. Her fingertips were as white as jade, and her jade-like fingertips were full of emerald green. When Jiujiu put the bracelet on her wrist, her slender and fragile wrist complemented the jade bracelet. It was as beautiful as a painting.
Although the people around did not know who Jiujiu was, they knew that Jiujiu was rich when they saw that Jiujiu was casually treating the bracelet that she had bought with a lot of money. Therefore, they took the initiative to talk to Jiujiu.
Jiujiu's target was Zhou Jinnian. However, it was better to have more friends. Jiujiu did not dislike others talking to her. She chuckled and chatted with others. Occasionally, she would smile slightly, which made the people who peeked at her blush.
Zhou Jinnian naturally knew how beautiful Jiujiu was. Because of that, he did not look at Jiujiu. On the other hand, Wu Xinni only felt stuffy in her chest because it was her first time to show up in the upper class. Also, because Jiujiu had just taken away her favorite jade bracelet, Wu Xinni unconsciously looked at Jiujiu.
Looking at Jiujiu's gorgeous appearance with only light makeup, she could not help but say with jealousy, "Jinnian, who is she? How come I've never heard of such a beautiful girl in the capital before? "
As soon as Wu Xinni finished speaking, Zhou Jinnian subconsciously looked at Jiujiu. When he saw Jiujiu tucking her hair behind her ear, he wanted to rush forward and point his finger at her.
Zhou Jinnian quickly retracted his gaze and said, "He's an overseas Chinese who just came back from abroad. He just came to Beijing not long ago. It's normal that you haven't heard of him."
"You came back from the country?" Wu Xinni furrowed her brows and asked in confusion, "I've been in the country for so many years. Why haven't I heard of her name?"
Logically speaking, she should be one of the richest people in the country if she could spend 40 million at once. Why had she never heard of or seen this woman before?
It felt as if this woman had appeared out of nowhere.
Zhou Jinnian was not familiar with the country. Not all rich people liked to be in the limelight. The Chinese preferred to keep their wealth hidden.
Moreover, Zhou Jinnian did not really like the atmosphere of the country. Perhaps it was because his family did not like the messy atmosphere of the upper-class society, so he chose to keep a low profile.
Zhou Jinnian did not take Wu Xinni's words to heart.
After the auction of the last bracelet, it was time for the charity gala.
Although it was called a gala, it was actually a platform for everyone to get to know each other and interact with each other.
Jiujiu was an upstart. Moreover, she showed off her skills as soon as she appeared. Soon, people came to greet Jiujiu. After interacting with each other, they realized that Jiujiu was not as ignorant as they thought. When it came to doing business, she was even more experienced than some experienced businessmen. Soon, everyone dropped their previous contempt and began to talk to Jiujiu seriously.
During the conversation, Jiujiu negotiated a few collaborations.
Zhou Jinnian was the most popular young talent in Beijing. Moreover, the two companies were collaborating. It would be inappropriate if he did not go over to greet him.
Jiujiu sent away a boss who was drooling over her beauty. She picked up a glass of champagne and brought it to her lips. Then, she heard Zhou Jinnian's voice.
"Jiujiu."
Jiujiu turned her body slightly. Her slender neck turned slightly, and her almost perfect jawline appeared directly in front of Wu Xinni.
After seeing Zhou Jinnian, Jiujiu's gorgeous face showed a bright smile. After seeing Wu Xinni standing beside Zhou Jinnian, Jiujiu's smile faded a little. She said softly, "Brother Zhou."
Women's nature made it impossible for Wu Xinni to look at Jiujiu with normal eyes. When she saw Jiujiu see her standing beside Zhou Jinnian, Jiujiu immediately stopped smiling. Wu Xinni felt even more guilty.
Hostility rose like a tide. Wu Xinni showed her doubts at the right time. She turned to look at Zhou Jinnian and asked, "This is?"
Because of Wu Xinni's question, Zhou Jinnian's eyes had to stay on Jiujiu's face.
Today, Jiujiu only wore light makeup. However, because of her red lipstick, she still looked gorgeous. Especially under the moonlight, the words "as beautiful as jade" were brought out to the extreme.
Zhou Jinnian subconsciously became a little dazed, and his eyes became infatuated.
Knowing that Wu Xinni pinched him, Zhou Jinnian came to his senses. He introduced softly, "This is Jiujiu, Jiujiu. This is my wife, Wu Xinni."
When Jiujiu heard Zhou Jinnian introduce Wu Xinni, a polite smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. "I've seen the news about you and Brother Zhou some time ago.
Jiujiu's congratulations were sincere, but in Wu Xinni's ears, there were two meanings.
One was that Jiujiu was congratulating her for finding a husband like Zhou Jinnian. The other was that she was congratulating her for meeting Zhou Jinnian before her.
No matter what the meaning was, Wu Xinni felt that Jiujiu was provoking her when she heard it.
She was challenging her identity and status.
Hostility rose in Wu Xinni's heart, but she still smiled. "It's alright, it's alright. Jiujiu is so beautiful. There must be many people chasing after you."
Jiujiu smiled faintly. "When I was in school, I had a boyfriend. Later, we broke up because of different ideals. Now, I'm busy with my career and have no time to meet the opposite sex."
After Jiujiu said that, she smiled.
The hair beside her ears fell to her cheeks.
Jiujiu raised her hand to lift up her hair. The sparkling and translucent jade bracelet slid down her wrist as she did so, leading one's gaze to unconsciously follow the jade bracelet. Then, one would be able to see the fullness of her chest.
Full breasts.
They were as tempting as peaches, making people lose their minds.
Zhou Jinnian could not help but be dazed. Wu Xinni, on the other hand, cursed the vixen in her heart. Then, she put on a fake smile and said, "If you don't mind, Jiujiu, I know a few young talents.
"Really?" Jiujiu pretended to be surprised and said, "Then I'll thank you here, Sister Wu. When I find a boyfriend, I'll definitely treat you to a meal."
The battlefield of women had always been killing without spilling blood.
Jiujiu and Wu Xinni went back and forth for a few rounds. In the end, Wu Xinni was satisfied.
Out of courtesy, Wu Xinni took the initiative to leave her contact information with Jiujiu. After the two of them agreed to have tea together, Zhou Jinnian held Wu Xinni's hand and left.
After Zhou Jinnian left, Jiujiu found an excuse to leave.
On the way home, Jiujiu added Wu Xinni's WeChat and quietly waited for Wu Xinni to accept.
She wanted to know if Wu Xinni was also involved in getting rid of the mother and keeping the son.
