Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1942: Chapter 1845: Regret

If these words were spoken by Zhou Shitao, or even other experts or collectors, they would certainly be heart-stirring and moving to Huo Sining. But coming from Clayflo’s mouth, Huo Sining only felt sarcasm and pretentiousness.

No matter how many skilled craftsmen have handled those antiques or how much dust and change they have endured, ultimately delivered to the auction stage where their value is measured in money, it’s none other than this gentleman Duke, who’s from a hereditary financial family, skilled at leveraging whatever he can to make money.

Like now, he can so ”authentically” flaunt his sentiments, linking an antique with historical civilization, uttering words that made surrounding Huaxia people including Qin Lianshan and Xie Daoyuan nod repeatedly in agreement, and then obediently let him earn the money.

This man is a genuine expert, even Huo Sining must admire him, no wonder at the market, every item that appears drives the bidders to madness.

Perhaps these bids signify not just possessing a delicate craft and historical vessel, but more, the bidder’s bragging rights, the honor acknowledged by the Rothschild Family.

Huo Sining does not value these external things, but those wealthy individuals worldwide who went through great lengths to get invitation letters and flew here are different. Among these bidders, quite a few do not lack money, but lack the opportunity to bridge connections with hereditary families and integrate into elite circles.

So when an item is exhibited, people are so crazily bidding with the intention to spend some money to attract attention, especially Clayflo’s attention.

Making money this way, Huo Sining truly couldn’t describe her feelings. At least, this is not a way she recognizes.

However, in the second half of the auction, Huo Sining was even more dumbstruck, feeling extremely intensively the notion of ”people here are foolish and rich, hurry up.”

After eating, the group returned to the box, and upon knowing that Huo Sining and others couldn’t win a single auction item in the morning, Clayflo wasn’t surprised at all, just shrugged, expressed regret, and comforted:

”The things in the afternoon and evening are better. I hope Miss Huo you can get what you wish for. If there’s anything you really like, feel free to tell me and my younger sister, after all, when my sister lost the gamble against Miss Huo, she lost the priority purchasing rights. Apart from those finale items, other items, Miss Huo can buy first, as long as Miss Huo can pay the same price as the bidders, each item Miss Huo you can take away..”

Huo Sining smiled politely and graciously, yet her mouth twitching uncontrollably.

Take away every item, she’s no fool, the final transaction prices of those items, each one exceeded the market price by a multiple, she’s not so rich and idle to hurry to send money to others?

At this moment, Huo Sining felt somewhat depressed and regretful, thinking when Semiya bet against her, she shouldn’t have signed such a useless gambling agreement. If she had considered more thoroughly, at least, let Semiya amend the agreement terms to market price rights for some items. Given Clayflo’s need for face and his word-keeping nature, wouldn’t she be able to take away a few items?

But the agreement has been signed, it’s too late for regrets now. Huo Sining can only bite her teeth silently, swallowing this loss.

She even suspects that Semiya might have anticipated this situation when asking her to sign that sneaky gambling agreement, just that time Huo Sining wasn’t well-informed about the Philadelphia Black Market Auction, mistakenly equating it with domestic auctions, totally unprepared for this white Princess’s calculation.

Thinking this way, Huo Sining gains new understanding of that arrogant and domineering Princess Semiya, at least from the gambling agreement, this Princess is not as simple as she seems, not a completely uncalculated person.

But thinking about it, the woman after all comes from the Rothschild family, such complex and powerful family background children, how could they be genuinely naive and guileless, genuine naivety would likely result in being eaten alive by that bloodless family.

The afternoon auction starts at 1:30, but before it began, Windsor Caesar and Adrian came over upon learning that Huo Sining was in the VIP box, unceremoniously squeezing into Huo Sining’s box.

The room was already crowded, instantly adding three people made it extremely packed.

But Zhou Shitao and the other elders weren’t bothered at all, instead enthusiastically made room for the three.

During the wedding of Huo Sining and Gu Xu, Zhou Shitao got acquainted with Adrian. Zhou Shitao found Adrian, who traded hundreds of Huaxia artworks with Huo Sining, very interesting, and his greatest wish was to personally visit Adrian’s underground collection room to see the Huaxia artifacts his family collected.

Thus, when the two met again, immediately engaged in a lively conversation, Adrian with his broken Chinese, Zhou Shitao exaggeratedly gesturing, neither felt any communication barrier, leaving Huo Sining and others beside stunned, Yue Shuwen also found it amusing but soon couldn’t watch anymore, couldn’t help but approach and said while chuckling and shaking her shoulders:

”Professor Zhou, I see you guys chatting, truly is...a bit laborious. My Chinese is decent, if you don’t mind, I can translate for you two.”

Zhou Shitao looked up, glanced at Yue Shuwen, nodded hurriedly, and said: ”That’d be great, girl, quickly tell me what this old guy said just now, I’ve been guessing for a while and still can’t figure out what he meant.”

Are you saying after chatting so eagerly, you didn’t understand a thing?

Huo Sining suddenly felt overwhelmed with dark lines, looking at her master, completely speechless.
