235, this way, it's not acceptable

As everyone knows.

The price of an item actually doesn't depend on its value.

Take a simple example: a bottle of mineral water from a convenience store could fetch a sky-high price if sold in a top-tier luxury hotel like Bulgari.

The same goes for this sapphire necklace.

Having been worn by Pei Yunxi, it's as if this piece of jewelry has been affixed with the most dazzling label.

"Eight million five hundred fifty thousand."

"Guest number 233 bids eight million five hundred fifty thousand!"

"Nine million."

"Nine million five hundred fifty-five thousand."

"Ten million."

The bidding below kept the auctioneer busy, and the price soared rapidly, easily breaking through the ten-million mark with no signs of stopping.

"Eleven million."

"Thirteen million."

"Fifteen million! Guest at table thirty-six bids fifteen million!"

Finally, there was a taste of splurging money like it was dirt.

"Huh, just a broken necklace, what's so special about it."
