Not to mention that within the younger generation, there are many relationships that are strained, such as several pairs who now completely ignore each other as if dead.

"Seventy million!"

Someone showed no courtesy and immediately called out an even higher price.

"Fair competition! Good, very good... I hope you can keep up! Eighty million!"

Upon hearing someone continue to bid, Kong Er was not surprised at all. It was as expected, just like how Qin Fang's bid would be raised by Yamamoto; Kong Er was the same.

But since Kong Er had already spoken out, there was naturally no reason to take it back. His words carried a clear challenge, and he immediately called out an even higher price.

Increasing by ten million each time, this is much more aggressive than Qin Fang was with Yamamoto before, especially since the opposing parties seemed to both come from the Top Ten Wealthy Families of Hong Kong, people with money to burn, and their spending was not at all subtle.

The price of eighty million doubled the auction house's estimate, and the auctioneer was already smiling so much that their whole face was trembling, especially realizing that there was still room for the price to rise, making him even more excited.

"Ninety million!"

Kong Er increased the price, and the other party was also cornered by Kong Er, biting the bullet to immediately call out an even higher price, getting closer and closer to one hundred million.

Such a price far exceeded the value of the necklace itself, even Qin Fang, who originally intended to bid on the necklace, couldn't help but shake his head at this price.

It's not that he couldn't afford it, as Tang Feifei said, it really wasn't worth it...

"One hundred million!"

But Kong Er was even more resolute than he had estimated, not even allowing the ninety million price to settle before it was immediately surpassed.

Such a price was indeed very domineering, much higher than the estimate, probably exceeding many people's expected prices.

Even the opposite party hesitated for a moment upon hearing this price, clearly contemplating whether to continue.

"One hundred and ten million!"

But in the end, the other party again announced a higher bid.

It seemed that to not lose momentum, the increment remained at ten million.

However...

"One hundred and twenty million!"

Kong Er remained steadfast as ever, clearly determined to defeat the opponent and win the necklace, with his bidding being unequivocal.

"You..."

Hearing Kong Er's new price and his decisive demeanor that needed no consideration, the other party could only let out a helpless sigh.

"One hundred and twenty million going once, one hundred and twenty million going twice, one hundred and thirty million going three times, bang~~ sold!"

As the auctioneer's hammer fell, this auction finally came to a close, with Kong Er ultimately purchasing the Heart of the Ocean for one hundred and twenty million, a price triple the auction house's estimate.

Kong Er seemed impatient, immediately leaving his seat to handle the formalities, eager to have the necklace in his hands.

Before long, Kong Er returned with the necklace.

The female celebrity's eyes instantly sparkled, having already stood up in anticipation, unable to contain her eagerness.

Meanwhile, she was pondering in her heart whether to agree to Kong Er's unusual "requests" tonight...

But it turned out... she was overthinking it!

"Feifei, this is for you!"

Kong Er didn't even glance at her, simply passing by her side and walking straight to Qin Fang and Tang Feifei, opening the box to reveal the dazzling Heart of the Ocean, and casually saying this to Tang Feifei.

"Uh..."

"Ah..."

"Eh..."

Qin Fang, Tang Feifei, and Qu Yuancheng were all stunned, looking at Kong Er in disbelief, not knowing what he was up to.

"Little brother, don't get jealous! I meant nothing by it... I've mentioned outside just now, I forgot to bring a meeting gift for my sister-in-law, and happened to see this necklace, which suits her very well, so I bought it for her... Consider it an early wedding gift from your second brother!"

Seeing everyone's dumbfounded expressions, Kong Er realized he might have taken the secrecy too far, and immediately expressed his embarrassment.

Tang Feifei was Qin Fang's girlfriend, yet he came to give her such a precious piece of jewelry, which was quite inappropriate, so it was no wonder they had those expressions.

"Second brother, you really are..."

Qin Fang also wore a wry smile, looking at the awkward Kong Er in front of him, then at the brilliant Heart of the Ocean, and finally at Tang Feifei who was equally shocked, not knowing what to say about Kong Er.

Spending 120 million Hong Kong dollars on this necklace, and then giving it as a meeting gift, Kong Er's move was truly astonishing.

"No need for so many words, I've already bought this necklace; am I supposed to give it to someone else instead of my sister-in-law?"

Kong Er wasn't bothered to argue further with Qin Fang, bluntly expressing himself.

"Besides, you've helped me so much, especially with the problem you solved for me today; that help couldn't have been achieved with just this small amount of money... If we were to tally things up, I'd actually owe you!"

Of course, Kong Er did have his reasons for his actions.

This reason wasn't something convenient to discuss openly, but Kong Er, Qin Fang, and even Qu Yuancheng were all well aware of it, knowing it pertained to the matter of the boxer in the Black Fist Alliance.

As Kong Er implied, Qin Fang had helped him to enlist Song Qingshan as a boxer, which not only boosted Kong Er's reputation but also earned him a fair amount of money.

With Song Qingshan's skills, he was expected to sweep through the beginner-level boxing matches of the Black Fist Alliance, achieving a hundred victories. Even if Kong Er earned just one to two million per match, the income from a hundred matches would exceed a billion.

Moreover, a wealthy young master like Kong Er, who would casually bet hundreds of thousands or millions on matches, would certainly stake a few tens of millions when his own boxer took the stage.

So after a hundred matches, the gains would not be a small amount... Calculating this way, Kong Er indeed ended up benefiting significantly from Qin Fang's help.

Therefore, gifting a mere 120 million worth of jewelry was no big deal.

"Feifei, take it..."

Seeing Qin Fang staying silent, Kong Er promptly pushed the necklace towards Tang Feifei.

"Qin Fang..."

Tang Feifei didn't accept it immediately, looking at Qin Fang, evidently wanting him to decide.

"Feifei, take it! We can't disregard second brother's gesture..."

Seeing Kong Er's determined expression, Qin Fang could only helplessly nod and persuade Tang Feifei to accept this immensely significant gift.

"Oh..."

With Qin Fang's word, although still slightly hesitant, Tang Feifei nodded and accepted the necklace.

Truthfully, she indeed really liked the necklace, and now that it finally belonged to her, there was no reason not to be delighted.

Not to mention, acquiring the necklace, she and Qin Fang hadn't spent a single penny...

"Second brother, needless to say, if you encounter any trouble in the future, as long as you come to me, I, Qin Fang, will absolutely not refuse!"

With Kong Er's gesture, it would be too ungrateful of Qin Fang to say nothing, so he earnestly expressed.

"We're brothers; there's no need for such formalities, right?"

Kong Er, however, seemed unconcerned, not taking Qin Fang's words too seriously, just smiling slightly.

"Indeed, we're brothers!"

Naturally, Qin Fang noticed this, but didn't directly say anything.

Nonetheless, he had already made up his mind: if Kong Er ever encountered difficulties, he would definitely lend a hand, no matter how great the challenge.

With that, the matter came to an end, and Qin Fang quickly put aside those unnecessary thoughts, focusing on the subsequent auction items, one of which he found particularly enticing and would soon be up for bids...
