Chapter 150 - Lost The Bracelet.

Once the emcee had started introducing the objects that were to be held in the auction, everyone paid rapt attention. This was not because the objects were rare or precious but because this was everyone's chance to show off their wealth on the most prestigious items. As well as show off their wealth by boasting of the priceless items they had donated.

Ah Hai and Shi Ai sat on a round table which sat six other people. Ah Hai could feel the nervousness emanating from Shi Ai as well as the surreptitious glances of everyone who's at around them.

Placing a hand on her cold ones under the table, Ah Hai leaned a bit closer to Shi Ai's ears and whispered,"Calm down little love. You are under the scanner. You see the man on your extreme right, he is the second heir and the woman next to him is a model. On my side is your grandfather's right hand man and his wife. Next to them just happens to be Shi Qinglan's partner in the organ trafficking trade and her date is the new doctor in the hospital."

Shi Ai looked into Ah Hai's cold eyes and gave a slight understanding nod as her heart calmed. For those looking from afar the two seemed to be talking in loving whispers. The press reporters which werer all present in the banquet had already taken the two people's pictures and were live feeding the auction to the netizens. Naturally they would not fail to report and cut moemnts because those were the ones that earned them money and hits. So, the moment Ah Hai started to whisper something into Shi Ai's ears,everyone could see the two love birds. The interned explded with comments over the great beauty and soon KSS employees also came forward to testify that the person in the picture was their lady boss. Withing the first half hour,there was only one question on every netizen's comment,"Who was the pretty girl and which family she belonged to. There were even discussions about whether Ah Hai would bid for anything for his special wife. The model who was sitting at their table was browsing the news feed and felt dissatisfied that she had been ignored so well by the media. She had chosen to come with this rich person so that she would get some publicity but here she was, being overshadowed by some unknown wannabe. People did not even know this woman's name!

A cunning thought flashed in the model's head and she turned to the young heir and tugged at his sleeves,"Ji Yong! Won't you bid on anything for me? I thought you insisted on bringing me to this boring event because you wanted to buy something for me..I only came here to keep you company so that you wouldn't be bored.."

The model's seductive eyes and body language clearly indicated to the geor Ji Yong that he would be handsomely rewarded should he win something for her. So without taking into consideration what it was he was bidding on, Ji Hong promptly won the bid.

Soon the emcee had reached the finals. The items in the finals were what one would consider the cream of the auction. It consisted of top five items and the one's that were meant to bring in the highest bids.

The emcee created a hype as he introduced the bracelet and gave a brief history of it. He then introduced the donors, "The donor for this priceless has actually donated two things which if you know the family then they are known for their philanthropy," Mr Long Ah Hai has donated this Jade Bracelet on behalf of his wife, Madam Shi Xaio Ai. Miss Shi Herself grew up in am orphanage and thus wanted to do the best for charity so she is giving away her late mother's only moment while Long Ah Hai has offered the services of KSS group for a ten percent discount over the year. As we all know getting KSS to work with you is even more difficult than finding diamonds in a mine and requires you to wait for at least a year.. Because the items are from the same person we are going to bid for the two consecutively. So everyone please be ready. The first bids for the bracelet starts at eighty million yuan." 

Everyone was shocked at the bid that had been set and watched the bracelet with renewed eyes. Even if it had a history attached to it, the fact that it commanded so much money was noteworthy. Most people assumed that this was actually being done to give face to Long Ah Hai. But then the first person to bid for the bracelet was none other than Elder Shi who raised the bid directly to a hundred million yuan. This made people wonder what was special about the bracelet. Just then Shi Qinglan ordered one of his minions to vote on his behalf. The third person to join the bid was the young doctor who sat at their table. Seeing this, the model was amused and said,"Mr Long, are you not going to bid for your wife's bracelet? Even if you do not wish to buy anything else for her the least you can do is get the only expensive thing she owns, back for her."

Suddenly the temperature at the table dropped a few degrees, almost causing the people to freeze. Miss Jane must possess really strong innards to be able to say something to a man like Long Ah Hai.  Though the emcee had revealed that Miss Shi Xaio Ai was an orphan, the reality was that she was the man's wife and not his playboy so calling the jade bracelet her only valuable item was like insulting the man himself. In the next moment, Shi Ai gave a tinkling laugh and said,"Miss Jane, how kind and thoughtful you are. Yes we women must look out for each other. Husband, I have already given away the bracelet and don't want to back but I want that last item in this auction. Will you buy it for me?" Without even glancing at the list of items, Ah Hai gave a slight nod. But the others on the table were amazed that the man had agreed without even giving it a thought, "Who promised their other half to buy an entire pharmaceutical company in an auction?" Ji Yong subtly moved away from the model lest she create any more trouble and he be implicated with her. Miss Jane was disgruntled but she gained another opportunity when the bracelet was won by the young doctor for a one hundred and fifty million. Miss Jane then congratulated Dr An Lili,"Congratulations Doctor, you are very much appreciated by this young doctor here. He bought such an expensive bracelet for you." 

Dr An Lili was also shocked at this. She and her date were actually here because of professional reasons. But now her eyes were shining with greed and she felt that her plan to seduce this man was succeeding. But then the man at her side scoffed and said,"Miss Jane! You are too much and really talk a lot. Master Ji,her assets are overpowered by her silliness!Why would I buy anything for Doctor Lily!I bought the bracelet for my younger sister!" Doctor An was thoroughly embarrassed at the man as he gave her no face and clenched her fingers under the table! If it were not for this man's reputation and the pressure that Mr Shi had put on her, An Lili would not have let Dr Zhang Min near her.. The man was a bloody ice block and showed her no respect. Dr Zhang paid no attention to the awkwardness and turned to Shi Ai murmuring,"Thank you, Mrs Long for donating such a beautiful piece. My sister is going to love it." Shi Ai smiled politely at Zhang Min and almost rolled her eyes. It was with great difficulty and a heavy heart that she had agreed to part with something that had belonged to her mother. She had not expected for Zhang Min to buy it back for her. She was really happy and grateful. She turned to Ah Hai,who she knew must have planned this and gave him a joyful smile. Meanwhile Zhang Min who had spent so much money for her was made to eat dog food, scowled in his heart."

The atmosphere at the table had turned awkward by the second as Miss Jane made one faux pas after another. To placate the silent man beside him, Mister Lee turned to Long Ah Hai and said in a smiling tone,"Mr Long, please wish me luck as I wish to bid on the next item. You know Elder Shi has wanted our hospital to work with KSS for a long time and this opportunity is too good to pass up. I hope you don't mind that both your donations are being bid for from our table."

Ah Hai acknowledged the man with a curt nod before denying,"No problem, Mr Lee. The winner takes all."
