Chapter 728
Meng Haisheng and Lin Mucheng had already studied the jewelry to be auctioned today at home. The two had clear goals. When they came across something they valued, they would just spend money on it.
Money can easily fulfill their wishes.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today's Easter egg is a very beautiful sapphire."
A very dazzling heart-shaped blue diamond appeared on the big screen behind the auctioneer.
"This blue diamond is called the Brilliant Star. It is a top-level blue diamond that can rival the Heart of the Ocean."
"The Brilliant Star is being auctioned for the first time. Ladies and gentlemen who like it should not miss it."
"The starting price is 60 million, and the bid will be increased by 1 million at a time."
The moment the Brilliant Star appeared, the whole venue was boiling. The probability of colored diamonds with large carats is relatively low.
Any one that appears is definitely a rare treasure.
"Haisheng, I want the Brilliant Star."
Lin Mucheng looked at Meng Haisheng very gently. At this moment, she was quite excited. Almost at first sight, she was attracted by the Brilliant Star.
"Of course, no problem. I will definitely take a picture for you."
A kiss fell on Lin Mucheng's cheek. She glared at Meng Haisheng unhappily. It was too embarrassing to do it in public.
Such an eye-catching blue diamond naturally attracted many bigwigs. The competition was fierce from the beginning.
In a short while, the price of the Brilliant Star had exceeded 100 million.
Meng Haisheng was not in a hurry to raise his hand at this time. If he remembered correctly, the second time the Brilliant Star appeared at the auction was ten years later, and it was finally sold for 300 million.
Now, even if the price is hyped up, it is impossible to exceed 200 million.
Buying the Brilliant Star, even if you don't wear it yourself, just as an investment, is a sure-win business. Meng Haisheng still likes it very much.
After the price exceeded 100 million, there were obviously fewer people raising their hands. Li Jiahuan glanced at Meng Haisheng and saw that he and Lin Mucheng were talking with their heads down, looking very intimate.
Seeing the two of them like this, Li Jiahuan sighed slightly. It seemed that it would be difficult for him to win over Meng Haisheng.
"Jiahuan, don't you want the Brilliant Star?"
Teng Ze naturally saw Meng Haisheng holding up the sign, but he couldn't help but say this. Jealousy had already blinded Teng Ze's eyes.
"I can't bear to spend more than 100 million to buy myself a blue diamond."
Li Jiahuan doesn't have much private property now. Li Long has several children. It is impossible for him to favor Li Jiahuan while he is still alive.
In the end, the 15-carat Brilliant Star was won by Meng Haisheng at a price of 130 million.
Such a high price is the king of today's auction.
Many people stood up and applauded, and the auctioneer even asked Meng Haisheng to come forward and say a few words.
"Today, I can win the Brilliant Star. First of all, I would like to thank all the distinguished guests. Thank you for showing mercy and not hyping up the Brilliant Star."
As soon as Meng Haisheng finished speaking, a burst of laughter came from the venue.
"The reason why I am so obsessed with the Brilliant Star is because I want to give it to my wife. I think my wife will look very beautiful wearing it."
Meng Haisheng looked at Lin Mucheng who was sitting with a smile, his eyes full of love.
Warm applause rang out again in the venue.
There is no doubt that Meng Haisheng is in the limelight again today. The evening newspaper that day was almost all about Meng Haisheng taking the Brilliant Star.
Although there was only the back of Lin Mucheng on the poster, countless people in Hong Kong Island had guessed that Lin Mucheng must be a great beauty, otherwise she would not hold Meng Haisheng's heart so tightly.
At noon that day, Li Jiahuan, who was in a bad mood, rejected Teng Ze's invitation and went to Li Long's mansion in Hong Kong Island alone.
"Dad, I want to marry Meng Haisheng."
Li Jiahuan sat on the sofa very unhappy. Li Long, who was reading a newspaper on the side, put down the newspaper and looked at Li Jiahuan with interest.
"Why did you suddenly make such a decision? Didn't you like muscular men before? Why did you start to like handsome guys like Meng Haisheng?"
"Dad, I'm not kidding, I'm serious."
Then Li Jiahuan analyzed all the benefits of Meng Haisheng marrying her to Li Long.
"Our marriage is a win-win for both of us."
"Jiahuan, have you ever thought that marriage is not a business? If Meng Haisheng doesn't love you as a person, he only loves money, how dare I let you marry him."
"Dad, he is already rich enough, how could he be interested in me."
"Because you are my daughter, Jiahuan, you have never lacked suitors around you. This time you met Meng Haisheng and were rejected, so you feel unhappy. Don't make trouble for yourself. You don't love Meng Haisheng."
Li Long looked at Li Jiahuan with pity. She has a strong personality. Since she knew that he had other children, she always said to him.He was very demanding and wanted to suppress his other children.
Coupled with the various problems in his original family, Li Jiahuan's personality was somewhat distorted, which made Li Long feel more distressed for Li Jiahuan. He felt that it was because he had failed his first love that Li Jiahuan was now competitive.
Thinking of the harm he had caused to the mother and daughter, Li Long's tone became a little gentler.
"Jiahuan, Dad hopes you have your own home and your own love."
"What is love? I see Meng Haisheng is very handsome and has a good temperament. I like him like that. Isn't this love?"
Li Long shook his head.
"You are saying that it is best not to have it. Meng Haisheng is already married, and he can buy hundreds of millions of jewelry for his wife at will, and he also put all the most profitable real estate companies under his name under his wife's name."
"This shows that he loves his wife enough. Such love cannot be measured by money."
Speaking of this, Li Long's heart was slightly moved. Although he only married one wife in most of his life, he had countless confidantes.
Others thought he was a successful man, and it was normal for him to be surrounded by beautiful women.
But in his heart, he only loved his first love, a woman, and only with her did he know what true love was.
Unfortunately, he was in a high position and had too many things he could not help, so he could only hide this true love and cover it up, otherwise Li Jiahuan would not have lived to this day.
"Jiahuan, Dad hopes you are happy."
Li Jiahuan bit her lip slightly, and her eyes slowly turned red.
Her sadness had nothing to do with Meng Haisheng, but she felt sorry for her and her mother.
The word happiness seemed so simple, but it was a luxury in their family.
If she didn't work hard, the Li family's property would have nothing to do with her.
"Dad, I know."
"Well, Dad is also optimistic about Meng Haisheng. If he is not married, I will definitely help you to get him, but you are too late."
"In the future, we will still have the best cooperation relationship with Meng Haisheng. He is a very lucky person. If you become friends with him, your future will be much smoother."
Li Jiahuan heard Li Long say this and asked curiously, "Dad, you are not going to ask the master again, are you?"
"It is about you, of course I have to ask clearly. The master also said that you and Meng Haisheng have no marriage. If you force the red line, you are likely to have a bloody disaster."
"Jiahuan, you must listen to Dad this time and don't do anything reckless."
"Got it."
Although Li Jiahuan was very unhappy, Li Long said so, she could only suppress her little thoughts.
Fortunately, Li Long said it in time. Li Jiahuan only had a little affection for Meng Haisheng, and she could quickly withdraw her thoughts that she shouldn't have.
