Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 1440: Chapter 1454: A Gift for One Lady Present

”How would I know? Mom, I already said, stop meddling in my business.”

Sijia brushed it off casually, but as she stared at that figure up ahead, her little fists clenched tight, so tight her nails dug into her palms without her even noticing.

She’d originally thought that donating that bracelet and having it sold for five million would land her at the top of tomorrow’s trending list, but she hadn’t expected An Ran to steal all the spotlight.

Thankfully, that bracelet had been donated under the name of Wenshan Group, while hers, though it hadn’t fetched as high a price, was at least donated in her own name. Just now, the jade necklace Yin Qianxue donated had only gone for five million as well.

Thinking that she could actually be mentioned in the same breath as Yin Qianxue made her feel pretty satisfied.

The auction went on. But after those two bracelets, no matter what else came up for bidding, the atmosphere never quite reached the same level as before, and Number 56 didn’t bid on anything else.

This made people start wondering: did this Number 56 guy really have some special fetish? Like he was specifically into collecting other people’s diamond bracelets?

Some of the starlets whose items hadn’t gone up yet were already sneaking backstage to see if they could swap out what they’d donated for a diamond bracelet instead. Those who really didn’t have one even sent people to the mall next door to buy one.

But once a donated item had been registered in the auction system, it couldn’t be changed, so they all went back disappointed.

After all the items were sold, the next segment was for the individuals or company representatives who’d won bids to go up on stage, process the payment on-site, collect their items, and finally take a group photo.

People went up one by one according to the order of the auction. Meanwhile, everyone in the audience craned their necks toward the spot where Number 56 was sitting, all curious to see what kind of person would spend twenty-five million on two bracelets worth only two hundred thousand.

But in the end, they were destined to be disappointed. When they called out Number 56, the only one who went up was a shy-looking girl in plain clothes and black-framed glasses.

She went up and whispered a few words to the host, then paid and signed on the spot, and left the stage without lingering.

The two bracelets, however, were still in the hands of the etiquette lady onstage.

The people below were even more confused now, and their curiosity toward this unseen Number 56 surged again. But when they turned to look back, at some point that seat had already been vacated.

Once everyone had finished their transactions, the host said sweetly, ”Thank you to all of our guests here tonight for your enthusiasm for charitable causes, and thank you especially to Number 56 for his tremendous support of this event. At his request, these two bracelets will be gifted to a lady present tonight.”

The moment her words fell, the venue erupted again.

He didn’t want them? Just like that, he was giving up bracelets he’d spent twenty-five million on?

At the same time, everyone became even more curious about the woman who’d be receiving them.

What kind of person could warrant such extravagant generosity?

”My guess is Sijia. After all, among everyone here, only Ansheng and Tianda Group have business dealings.”

”No, no, no, I’m guessing Yin Qianxue. I heard that back in the Imperial City, there were already tycoons willing to spend a fortune on Beauty Yin.”

”I say it’s Sijia!”

”I say it’s Yin Qianxue...”

Sijia listened to the whispers all around her, her heart pounding so hard it felt like she could hear it even through the chaotic noise in the hall.

Could it really be her? If that mysterious gentleman really was from Tianda Group, could this be Qi Hao’s doing?
