1289 The Unique Necklace
With Gu Zheng’s permission, Qiao Xi happily left. She had just left when Gu Zheng’s entire body instantly emitted a strong chill.
“Returned to the country a year ago?”
Song Shiyu could feel the coldness in his tone and said considerately, “President, I’ll go see who that jewelry appraiser is!”
Gu Zheng smiled coldly. “Go ahead.”
Song Shiyu patted his chest and promised, “President, don’t worry. I won’t let him snatch Young Madam away!”
Gu Zheng: “…”
At this moment, the banquet hall was still extremely lively.
As the charity banquet was held by the He family, He Wenxian became the focus of the banquet. Everyone surrounded her and chatted.
The He family did not hide anything and told everyone in advance that they would display ‘Scorching Heart’ today. Hence, most of the guests came today to see this expensive necklace. Everyone saw the dazzling ruby necklace on He Wenxian’s neck at a glance.
On the other hand, Qiao Xi sat in a corner and quietly looked at He Wenxian, who was in the crowd.
“Oh my God! This necklace is too beautiful. No wonder it fetched a price of 120 million last time!”
“To be honest, only a generous socialite like Miss He is qualified to wear such an expensive necklace. Even if others wear it, they definitely won’t look as elegant and beautiful as Miss He.”
He Wenxian smiled in embarrassment. “Thank you for your praise, but I’m not wearing this necklace to show off at the banquet today. I’m donating it.”
Everyone widened their eyes and looked at He Wenxian in surprise.
“Miss He, are you really willing to donate Scorching Heart?”
He Wenxian smiled gently. “What’s there to be reluctant about? My father has been dedicated to charity for so many years. Moreover, this charity banquet is mainly for the construction of schools on the mountains. This requires a lot of money. As my father’s child, I naturally have to support him and do my best to contribute to the construction of schools. This necklace is just a precious accessory to me. It won’t affect me even if I don’t wear it. However, to the children on the mountains, it might change their lives or even the entire village!
“I feel very honored to be able to contribute to the construction of schools on the mountains!”
At this point, He Wenxian felt a little guilty. “Actually, compared to my father, what I’m doing is insignificant. Everyone knows that my father holds charity banquets every year. He started preparing almost a month in advance. He often tells us that money is just a worldly possession and that we have to be kind at all times.”
Qiao Xi: “…” These words sounded very touching, but when they came from He Wenxian’s mouth, they made one feel nauseous.
Perhaps it was because the He family had indeed done many good deeds all these years, so when He Wenxian said these words, no one felt that it was inappropriate. Moreover, it further solidified the kind image of the He family in their hearts.
Everyone was very impressed with He Wenxian. After all, there was no woman who did not like jewelry. Moreover, it was such a precious necklace. If it were them, they would not bear to donate such a precious thing.
“Miss He, Scorching Heart fetched a price of 120 million previously. Did Chairman He bid for it and give it to you?”
He Wenxian nodded without hesitation. “Yes.”
120 million was the price four years ago. At that time, the mysterious buyer did not appear and directly bid for Scorching Heart. The He family investigated and found out that the mysterious buyer had gone overseas. After that, there was no more news of Scorching Heart.
The He family had been looking for this necklace for many years. Presumably, this necklace was either far away overseas or had long been abandoned in the transportation process. In short, it was almost impossible for it to appear again. Hence, the necklace He Wenxian was wearing naturally became Scorching Heart. Moreover, no one would suspect anything.
“The auction will be held in an hour. I wonder who will bid for Scorching Heart. If no one offers a suitable price, they can bring it to the auction house in the capital. The price will definitely be higher than 120 million.”
“Of course, 120 million was the price four years ago. With the value of Scorching Heart, it’s at least 150 million now. Moreover, this necklace was originally donated by the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor!”
“What? A unique piece?” Someone exclaimed, “In other words, this necklace is unique through and through. There’s no second piece in the world that’s like it!”
Scorching Heart’s design was very ingenious. The embedding of each gem was very unique. Ordinary craftsmen could not replicate it at all. Moreover, even if they could, they could not afford the expensive gems.
