A deep but steady voice spoke out:

“25 million.”

As soon as Master Liang opened his mouth to speak, the whole room looked at him.

After a moment of silence, the staff asked the audience if there was anyone else who wanted to bid.

No one answered. There was no one that was prepared to spend such a large sum of money on a pink diamond.

After a countdown, the staff announced that there was no further bidding to be made. When the auctioneer’s hammer fell, it was announced that the pink diamond went to Master Liang.

“The pink diamond is now Master Liang’s” the staff member announced.

“I’ll have my a.s.sistant go and settle the bill. Please give this pink diamond to the young girl who is sitting in the corner at the back. This pink diamond suits her.”

As soon as Master Liang said that, everyone turned around to look in that direction.

There was indeed a young girl sitting in the corner.

And in fact, Jian Yiling was the only young girl that was present today.

Everyone was stunned as they looked at Jian Yiling.

Their expressions were surprisingly unanimous.

Confused, shocked, and puzzled

Why did Master Laing give a pink diamond that was worth 25 million dollars to Jian Yiling?

Those two people weren’t related at all!

Furthermore, it was no small thing to give such a valuable gift!

He Yan was also surprised. In fact, she was so surprised that she was at a loss for words.

She racked her brains hard to figure out the connection between the two. However, she couldn’t think of anything.

How was this possible?

Why did Master Liang give Jian Yiling such a valuable gift?

Even Ms. Qin was shocked. She gestured to the staff to confirm Master Liang’s request.

The staff member hurried forward to confirm with Master Liang, “Master Liang, are you sure that you want to give this pink diamond to that little girl over there? The one who is wearing a white blouse?”

“Yep, I’m sure. I feel like she’s the only one in the room who has a temperament that matches with the pink diamond.”

Master Liang replied with a calm voice. However, to the other people in the room, it felt like a sudden turn of surprising events had happened.

The staff quickly delivered the pink diamond to Jian Yiling.

Although Master Liang hadn’t yet paid the bill, they knew that Master Liang wouldn’t go back on his words. They didn’t have to worry about him not paying.

The pink diamond appeared in front of Jian Yiling’s face.

Jian Yiling frowned. She didn’t want to accept the gift.

“It’s too much,” Jian Yiling said.

She had already accepted her payment. She didn’t need any additional payment.

However, Master Liang replied, ‘It’s fine. It’s only a diamond. It’s not considered in the payment. Furthermore, just consider it a gift from me as an elder to you.”

A gift that was a pink diamond that was worth 25 million dollars?

Furthermore, 25 million dollars was only the price of the pink diamond at today’s auction. If it were to be auctioned at a different occasion, 25 million dollars wouldn’t be enough to buy it!

For most of the people at the charity dinner today, it was their first time seeing such an expensive gift being given when two people met for the first time.

“Sister, do you know this man?” Jian Yumin asked in a quiet voice.

The series of events made Jian Yumin feel uneasy.

Jian Yiling nodded once before she accepted the gift under the eyes of everyone else.

However, the rest of the people at the charity dinner continued to stare at Jian Yiling. They hadn’t yet recovered from the shock.

The staff was also shocked for quite some time. However, they finally got reminded by Ms. Qin’s gaze. As a result, they quickly resumed the rest of the auction.

The remaining items in the auction were quite regular.

However, the crowd seemed to be quite distracted from the auction.

They were more intent on figuring out why Master Liang had given Jian Yiling a pink diamond. That was where all their attention had gone.

How did Jian Yiling manage to receive such a generous gift from Master Liang?

Even Grandpa Jian typically wouldn’t receive such a gift. Especially, from someone as esteemed as Master Liang.

Then how on earth did Jian Yiling manage this?
