Reborn Girl: Prince Charming's Hot Wife

C124 The Ring for Whom?



C124 The Ring for Whom?

The auction started at 7 PM.    

    

Gong Lingye originally wanted to send Gu Tingxue to Gu Chiyun's place, but Gu Chiyun was with two old friends, so it was inconvenient for him, so he let Gu Tingxue stay with Gong Lingye.    

    

auction was held in an antique courtyard in H City. It was said that the courtyard had a history of over 200 years, and the three-story building where everyone was staying had a history of over 100 years.    

    

Because Gong Lingye wanted to come at the last minute, the private rooms on the second floor were already full. Plus, the three of them didn't really want it. Therefore, they sat on the first floor.    

    

The first few items were the four treasures of the literary world and some ornaments. Not long after, Gu Chiyun finally saw the calligraphy and painting that he was interested in.    

    

Although there were a few competitors, he quickly bought it at a price that he could still accept.    

    

After a few more items, Until the pink diamond ring was presented.    

    

"Wow, so beautiful!" Gu Tingxue looked at the introduction on the big screen and could not help but praise. "Even if it is personally customized, it is very rare to see such a beautiful pink diamond."    

    

Although it was to praise her own thing to look good, Soong Yiren felt inexplicably uncomfortable and she opened her mouth and said. "The work of a famous designer coupled with a very good quality diamond, it is naturally beautiful."    

    

Gong Lingye heard her and looked at Soong Yiren who was beside him.    

    

His intuition told him that she seemed to be a little unhappy.    

    

Did she mind Gu Tingxue? Was she jealous?    

    

Or was it because she liked this ring that she was in a bad mood?    

    

He put his arm around Soong Yiren's shoulder and hugged her in his embrace. He leaned close to her ear and asked, "Nuan, do you like this ring?"    

    

Soong Yiren did not say anything.    

    

Her things were lost due to an accident and were picked up by someone. However, a few years later, they were brought to the auction and sold at a clear price.    

    

This feeling... It was as if someone had taken something from her, making her feel extremely uncomfortable!    

    

Gong Lingye saw that Soong Yiren did not speak, but her eyes were looking at the ring, and he somewhat understood what was going on.    

    

On the stage, after the introduction, the auctioneer announced, "The starting bid is ten million. Each increment must not be lower than fifty thousand."    

    

As soon as he announced the start of the bidding, someone raised their hand.    

    

The irritation in Soong Yiren's heart had almost reached its peak. Beside her, Gu Tingxue also said with a smile: "There are a lot of young girls coming today. I feel that I can reach 20 million!"    

    

As she spoke, she picked up the tea on the table and poured a cup for Gong Lingye and Soong Yiren. She also picked up a cup and started to drink.    

    

The bidding became more and more heated. Soong Yiren suddenly stood up. "I'm going to the washroom."    

    

"Miss Yu, I am also..." Gu Tingxue was just talking when she choked on the tea and started to cough violently.    

    

On the side, Gong Lingye handed over a tissue. "Tingxue, are you alright?"    

    

When Soong Yiren saw this scene, her mood instantly fell to the bottom of the valley. When she strode towards the direction of the bathroom, she heard a low male voice in Gu Tingxue's coughing that was exceptionally penetrating. "Fifteen million."    

    

It was Gong Lingye who had bid. He had yet to put down the plate in his hand.    

    

The previous person was still eleven million, but he suddenly increased by four million.    

    

Why did he suddenly bid? Was he buying it for Gu Tingxue?    

    

Because from the beginning to the end, Gu Tingxue only showed that she really liked that ring.    

    

Just as Soong Yiren was still thinking about what Gong Lingye meant, suddenly, everyone felt the ground shake.    

    

Obviously, everyone present also noticed it.    

    

However, in less than a second, the movement had disappeared. Immediately, a huge tremor hit them. Almost instantly, all the people sitting on the ground fell to the ground.    

    

Soong Yiren was no exception. She had already walked to the corridor and the sudden shaking made her barely able to support the wooden pillar beside her.    

    

At the same time, it could be seen with the naked eye that there seemed to be huge ripples in the air. The ground began to rise and fall along with the ripples. That invisible wind gave people a sense of urgency like a death horn blowing.    

    

Everything happened in that instant, so fast that no one had the time to react. The scene was even very quiet, maintaining the moment when Gong Lingye had called out his bid.    

    

Soong Yiren was still in the same place. She could still hear Gu Tingxue's cough from a few meters away.    

    

But the hustle and bustle in the air suddenly exploded in an instant. Then, something on top of her head suddenly broke. Immediately after, dust fell down and what followed was the collapse of the main beam!    

    

The ground continued to rise and fall. The moment the main beam fell, someone finally reacted and screamed.    

    

Soong Yiren's brain also suddenly thought of two words: Earthquake.    

    

"Nuan!" Gong Lingye shouted at Soong Yiren. Just as he was about to get up from the ground, he heard another loud noise.    

    

Because the main beam had collapsed. The three-story century-old building was on the verge of collapsing.    

    

Something kept breaking, and the century-old wooden pieces and precious carved pillars all fell down like rain.    

    

Soong Yiren's heart almost jumped to her throat. There was no place for her to hide in the triangular area. Once she was hit by something...    

    

Obviously, everyone realized that it was an earthquake. They wanted to get up from the ground and run, but the ground shook so violently that they fell down again the moment they got up. For a moment, the entire scene of auction was filled with screams and cries of pain.    

    

Gong Lingye had just gotten up and was about to walk towards Soong Yiren when his leg was held by someone.    

    

He lowered his head and saw Gu Tingxue's face was pale. Her chest rose and fell as if she was about to faint.    

    

"Tingxue." He went to grab her hand that was holding his leg but perhaps when one faced death, the instinct of the body would burst out with a strong desire to live. Therefore, Gu Tingxue grabbed tightly, and Gong Lingye was unable to pull her away for a moment.    

    

And in this short period of time, another sound suddenly came from the ground, like a dragon's roar. In an instant, the surrounding lights shook. Next, the third floor fell down.    

    

Soong Yiren was leaning against the corridor wall. From a few meters away, she saw Gu Tingxue faint and Gong Lingye bent over to protect her. After that, her gaze wavered. After that, the two floors above completely collapsed and the sky turned dark.    

    

They were only less than ten meters away from each other. There was a sharp noise by their ears. The moment Soong Yiren saw something falling down, Gong Lingye held Gu Tingxue in his arms. Then, his vision completely darkened.    

    

She slightly raised the corner of her lips.    

    

Something smashed on her forehead. Immediately, there was warmth flowing down, blurring Soong Yiren's eyes.    

    

At the moment when it was completely dark, Gong Lingye saw Soong Yiren looking at him. There was a strange and mocking look in her eyes that he had never seen before.    

    

He panicked and wanted to move, but something smashed down from the top of his head. Then, his vision turned dark.    

    

The force that Gu Tingxue used to hug his leg suddenly disappeared. He almost could not feel her heartbeat and his back was also hit by something. His throat was filled with a fishy sweetness.
