"You can't be serious, can you?" Morita Yui still found it hard to believe.
It wasn't that she thought Su Yu couldn't afford it. After all, she was in the industry and knew that with Su Yu's high status in both music and film, buying this "Falling Star" would be no problem.
But being able to afford it didn't mean he would buy it, especially for such a large sum on such a top-tier luxury item.
Although diamonds personally cut by Master Charlie had significant collection value and great potential for appreciation, there were many better choices for investment and collection.
"Do I look like I'm joking?" Su Yu shot her an exasperated glance before explaining, "I heard that buying a diamond allows the master named Charlie to make a diamond ring personally."
Hearing Su Yu's words, a series of question marks reappeared in Morita Yui's bewildered mind.
"You... you're not only going to buy it, but you're also going to have it set into a diamond ring?"
Insane!
Morita Yui felt she was going crazy from Su Yu's words!
For a diamond of this caliber, even a super-rich person would buy it for collection.
Who would have thought Su Yu would want to have it set into a diamond ring?
Suddenly, she seemed to recall something and probed Su Yu, "Are you planning to buy it for Lin Yanyu?"
Su Yu had already proposed to Lin Yanyu, a fact the entire Blue Star knew.
Lin Yanyu was Su Yu's fiancée, and their relationship was very good, with them potentially getting married at any time.
Su Yu wanted to buy this "Falling Star" as a wedding ring for Lin Yanyu!
Thinking of this, Morita Yui's scalp tingled.
This act, in her opinion, was a bit too crazy.
Luxurious!
Wasteful!
But what woman wouldn't go mad for it!
Even Morita Yui, upon thinking about the ring at her own wedding being this "Falling Star," found her breath catching.
"Otherwise, I don't wear this kind of thing..." Su Yu said nonchalantly before taking a sip of his coffee.
As expected of a world-class auction, the coffee here was better than that backstage at "Time Music King," with a very fragrant and mellow taste.
However, for Su Yu, he preferred tea over coffee.
"Miss Lin is truly fortunate; she'll surely be very moved when she finds out," Morita Yui said with a hint of bitterness.
Even with her current status, if she had this "Falling Star" at her wedding, she would feel it was quite prestigious.
In life, there were only two things that brought the most satisfaction: improving social status and showing off.
In common terms, it was fame and showing off.
And this "Falling Star" was definitely a tool for showing off. Coupled with the fact that this auction was being broadcast live, the feeling of obtaining this diamond with unimaginable wealth, and that this diamond would one day appear at one's wedding—thinking about that feeling, Morita Yui couldn't help but feel excited.
But she could only imagine it, as it was a scenario for Lin Yanyu's wedding.
With a man as outstanding as Su Yu, plus this incredibly gorgeous diamond, this was the wedding countless girls dreamed of!
"Don't tell anyone, or there won't be a surprise," Su Yu quickly reminded her.
When Lin Chaoyang had talked to him about the wedding arrangements before, Su Yu had already begun preparations. Although he hadn't expressed any opinions on the wedding procedures, leaving everything to Lin Yanyu and Chen Rong to prepare without his involvement, he was still thinking about how to surprise Lin Yanyu.
His trip to South Africa happened to coincide with Charlie's auction, and he knew his opportunity had arrived.
Lin Yanyu was opinionated, and Su Yu wanted to give her the wedding she desired the most, so he hadn't interfered with any of the procedural matters. Big Wind Novel
But he knew Lin Yanyu liked a sense of ceremony, and this diamond was the best ceremony.
"What's wrong?" Su Yu saw Morita Yui looking at him strangely.
A blush appeared on her cheeks, her beautiful eyes misted over with desire.
That kind of feeling was as if she was about to lose control and pounce on him, wanting to devour him.
It made Su Yu's scalp tingle.
"How can there be such a handsome, rich, talented, and romantic man!" Morita Yui placed her hands on her chest, her voice filled with admiration and longing.
"Don't fall for me, I'm just a legend," Su Yu waved his hand.
Suddenly.
The voice of the host outside interrupted their conversation.
"Welcome everyone to Master Charlie's auction. This auction will be broadcast live, and the rules are simple: highest bidder wins. We welcome all guests to bid enthusiastically!"
This auction had been in preparation for a long time. Although in China, apart from people in the jewelry industry, not many ordinary people paid attention, the attention on foreign networks was extremely high.
When one reaches the pinnacle in any industry, they gain considerable fame and prestige. As the Blue Star's top diamond master, Charlie naturally had his due social recognition, especially in the fashion and jewelry circles, where Charlie was hailed as the father of world jewelry.
This auction featured works from Charlie's studio, each of which was a masterpiece in the jewelry world.
The auction began.
A large number of people also flooded into the live stream!
"Has it started? I'm not interested in jewelry, but I just want to see that diamond!"
"To be able to see a diamond of this caliber is definitely eye-opening!"
"I heard the starting bid for this Falling Star is one hundred million US dollars. I wonder what astronomical price it will finally fetch!"
"To be able to attend an auction of this level, one's net worth must be over a hundred million, right?"
"That's for sure. Why else would they be here if not for the capability? Just to be an audience member?"
"Let's see the super-rich make their move. For a diamond of this caliber, one really needs to be a world-class super-rich person to dare to bid!"
Although there were many viewers in the live stream, most of them were drawn by the "Falling Star" diamond. After all, Charlie's studio's promotion was quite effective, and with the master's personal touch, the hype was there, imbuing this diamond with immense value.
The auction proceeded smoothly. The first few items were bracelets and pendants. Charlie's studio was very famous on the Blue Star not only because of Master jewelry designer Charlie but also because of their avant-garde designs. Every piece was a gem on the market.
Even a few bracelets and pendants were auctioned for millions of US dollars, and one diamond pendant named "Heart of the Arid Desert" fetched a staggering eighty million!
At this point, the audience was even more excited than the auction participants.
Each bid involved millions being added. Amidst this lavish display of wealth, the auction gradually entered a heated state.
Piece after piece of exquisite jewelry was bought after bidding, and the guests in the hall participating in the auction had also gotten into the spirit. Commercial buyers had a bottom line after estimating the product's value, but private buyers, upon seeing an item they liked, sometimes became impulsive and bid crazily for their passion.
Suddenly.
Just as a bracelet called "Eternity" appeared, the number two private room on the second floor made a bid!
"Fifty million!"
With a starting bid of ten million, they directly bid fifty million, drawing the gaze of countless people in the hall towards that private room!
