Qin Xun defeated the intense competitor for the instrument, and Lu Qingqiao won the it for 8.6 million.
At first, Lu Xueru's side was also bidding, but she took the initiative to withdraw after seeing that Lu Qingqiao was also bidding. Si Jingsen took pity on Lu Xueru because of this and supported in bidding for the next set of jewelry for her.
The set of jewelry was modified from the crown of the Queen of the Country Y. Yu Shu saw it looked good, so she bid for it and forced others to back out. Yu Shu, who had won the bid, turned around and said she would give this set to Lu Qingqiao to help her anger Lu Xueru.
Lu Qingqiao bought a raw gemstone and gave it to Yu Shu as a gift of gratitude.
After that, Lu Qingqiao bought a pair of King's Black jade cufflinks for Qin Xun. She felt this was the only thing that would suit him in the auction.
"I'll leave it for you to play with."
That was what Lu Qingqiao had said. Qin Xun, who didn't like wearing suits, probably didn't want it, but she felt it didn't have to be a suit to use it. It would look good as a decoration.
Of course, Qin Xun couldn't bear to let Lu Qingqiao change it into a decoration and pendant, so he wanted to keep it for now.
The last item up for auction was the item that Lu Qingqiao had to bid for.
From a distance, an ordinary and rusty iron plate was placed on the auction stage. Fine lines were engraved on the iron plate, and the explanation said that it was an item that was about 500 years old.
As for why it was the show's highlight, the commentator smiled and said, "Our experts have determined that this plate may be some kind of a key. And they can't estimate what it will open, so we look forward to the guest who'll win this plate and explore it on our behalf..."
The explanation was so mysterious that it was incalculable. In fact, in their eyes, it was just a way to buy the story.
Therefore, everyone only made a symbolic bid, and the price was not high.
Si Jingsen felt that the situation was clear. Just as he was determined to win, he saw Lu Qingqiao make a bid.
It jumped from one million to five million as soon as it came out.
Si Jingsen's eyes darkened as he looked at Lu Qingqiao. He saw her sipping coffee leisurely, and he couldn't tell if she was doing this for fun or some other reason.
Si Jingsen might have let it go if it had been something else. However, this was the reason he had come to the auction today.
"Young Master Si has bid 6 million."
"CEO Lu bid 10 million."
"Young Master Si has bid 11 million."
"CEO Lu bid 20 million."
"Young Master Si bid 30 million."
"CEO Lu bid 60 million."
The crowd was in an uproar. Was this thing worth 60 million?
Wasn't it just a piece of an iron sheet? Just treat it as an antique, which didn't seem to have any collection value.
Or was there some secret hidden in this thing?
Someone looked at Lu Qingqiao and realized she was looking in Si Jingsen's direction. The latter's expression did not look too good. Even Lu Xueru looked at Lu Qingqiao from time to time with her lips pursed, looking uneasy.
Everyone immediately understood that CEO Lu was deliberately competing with Young Master Si.
Si Jingsen thought so too. When he met Lu Qingqiao's cold eyes, he sighed softly and smiled indulgently. He didn't bid again.
Having achieved her goal, Lu Qingqiao retracted her gaze in satisfaction.
To avoid being suspected and causing some people to investigate, she deliberately led people to think in that direction.
Si Jingsen had been used, yet he was still narcissistic to think it was because Lu Qingqiao cared about him.
After the auction ended, he stopped Lu Qingqiao at the parking lot.
