Chapter 588
At this moment, Ye Junqing had just finished a meeting. His phone was on silent during the meeting. After the meeting ended, he casually checked his phone and saw the missed call from his brother.
Ye Junqing called back.
As soon as the call was connected, he asked, “Bro, what’s up?”
“Check out the family group chat and see for yourself.” Ye Shiting, busy himself, delivered the brief message and then hung up the phone.
Not quite sure what was going on, Ye Junqing opened the family chat group, noticing that some people had mentioned him.
The group chat was flooded with numerous messages. He couldn’t find the message that mentioned his name despite scrolling for quite some time. Fortunately, Ji Qishu walked into the conference room. His pals knew he had been recently dismissed by Little Star. They all wanted him to find his love soon, so that Fu Zhuo could see the light of day.
So, Ji Qishu eagerly said, “Bro Ye, look, Little Star wants the Light of Fortune and is waiting to bid on it at the auction now.”
“What’s this?” Ye Junqing asked. noveldrama
Fu Zhuo opened the flyer sent by Xiao Mi Hu, announcing the Light of Fortune, and said, “It’s a diamond. Apparently, whoever owns this diamond owns the world. Now the Perrys want to bid for it to gift it to Xia Yanyan, but Little Star also really wants it.”
Taking a glance, Ye Junqing simply said, “Then just buy it.”
During this time, many auction items were sold, and finally, it was time for the last few crown jewels.
The first of these highlight items was the Diamond of Misfortune.
The presenter said, “What we are showing you now is the Sapphire of Hope. It also goes by the name of the Diamond of Misfortune. It is one of several extraordinary rare deep-blue diamonds that exist in this world. However, this stunning diamond has brought nothing but bad luck, even death, to its owners in the past 300 years. Legend has it that the Blue Hope was originally set on a deity statue. It was stolen by a monk. After discovering the theft, the priest put a curse on any person who possesses this diamond with a string of disasters. The monk was ultimately burned alive.”
The presenter was so honest that even though the guests below the stage were very interested in this brilliantly shining, serene blue diamond, they were rather reluctant to bid for it.
The guests attending the auction were mostly those who considered themselves blessed by fortune. Who would want to buy a miserable diamond and bring bad luck to themselves?
That would be crazy!
Nevertheless, the presenter enthusiastically introduced the diamond, “Now, a rich businessperson is willing to donate this diamond. All charity money will be donated to the disaster-stricken areas. It’s said that the Diamond of Misfortune has always been seeking its rightful owner. The reason why all its previous owners were so unlucky is because none of them were chosen by the Diamond of Misfortune. Only when an owner who the diamond willingly and wholeheartedly chooses appears, would it bring endless hope and glory. Such an owner would transform it into the Stone of Hope. We wonder if there is a true owner among our guests tonight. If you dare to take on the challenge, feel free to try your luck. Perhaps you are the one who can terminate all misfortunes and turn this Diamond of Misfortune into the Diamond of Hope and have the stars and sea at your command. The bidding starts now, starting price, one million.”
As the presenter finished speaking, the room fell into silence. Nobody made any bids.
Great, with nobody competing against me, Ye Xingguang immediately raised the card: “One million!”
As soon as he finished his statement, everyone’s eyes turned towards Ye Xingguang. Who was this person who had dared to face death?
