Rebirth as the Richest Woman in the World
Chapter 624 - 626 doesn’t deserve Chu Jin at all! (First update)

Chapter 624: 626 doesn’t deserve Chu Jin at all! (First update)

In the brilliant hall, everyone was dressed to the nines. As the toasts crossed paths, faces bore guarded smiles, fearful of inadvertently offending some VIP with their words or, worse yet, being caught on camera behaving improperly and facing the wrath of netizens.

In this era of fast-food information, anyone could voice their opinion on the internet, and if that opinion turned into public consensus, it could have serious repercussions for a whole family or company.

In Hua Nation, there is a powerful term called "netizen."

Behind the invisible screen, you’ll find all sorts of people.

With Mo Zhixuan and Chu Jin dominating the scene, the big stars that followed seemed somewhat lackluster in comparison.

Having seen the luminaries first, netizens began to look at these celebrities with a more critical eye—or as the saying goes, with a nose not quite like a nose, eyes not quite like eyes.

[Camera guy! I want to see my goddess and Boss Mo.]

[Lu Xinxi’s eyes seem even bigger than they were a few days ago.]

[And her nose bridge looks higher! I think she lives a tiring life, not even daring to smile too heartily.]

[National Goddess! I want to see my goddess.]

[Tsk tsk tsk, it’d be a waste not to cast that chin in a cum shot scene.]

Mo Zhixuan led Chu Jin through the hall, step by step, and unconsciously, people made way for them.

The Mo family was a major conglomerate, a leader in the commercial world, so naturally many were keen on seizing the opportunity to make Mo Zhixuan’s acquaintance. However, upon seeing his icy, glacial face, they abandoned the idea.

Such a man was born to be King! He was not someone they could hope to emulate!

By coincidence, Wang Kai also appeared at this gala. He looked relaxed and even nodded at Chu Jin in greeting.

Facing so many people, Chu Jin felt it would be rude to ignore him and was about to nod back when Mo Zhixuan suddenly stopped walking. His warm palms covered Chu Jin’s eyes.

"Don’t look," a deep, magnetic male voice said from beside her, causing Chu Jin to start, her eyes trembling slightly.

Her lashes were long and brushed lightly against the palm of his hand, tickling him.

The reporters, seeing this, zoomed in even more enthusiastically, furiously snapping photos. With a little embellishment, a scene from an idol drama unfolded before them.

People these days love a spectacle.

With such photos, who would worry about a lack of stories to tell?

The cameraman responsible for the live broadcast also turned the lens on them, providing a remarkably clear close-up. Such an opportunity was rare—the elusive head of the Mo family together with the mysterious National Goddess!

There were so many stories to tell!

And the netizens were very eager to see these two together.

[I’m swooning, my maiden heart is exploding.]

[Hahaha! I just find Boss Mo’s action so cute! Is he jealous?]

[Definitely jealous. A guy just greeted the goddess, and as wuli goddess was about to respond, Boss Mo covered her eyes.]

[Boss Mo, stop fooling yourself! The goddess had already made eye contact with that young hunk!]

[Wow, what did I just see! Rivalry! Boss Mo has met his match!]

[It’s supposed to be a charity gala, but why do I feel like I’m watching an idol drama?]

[Pfft, you’re not alone, previous commenter.]

[Wrong! This is clearly a story about a domineering CEO who falls in love with me!]

[I must be out of my mind to think that this dog food tastes so sweet.]

[Just now, as I was smiling stupidly at the screen, my mom came by, gave me a strange look, and then touched my forehead... she probably thinks I’ve lost it! Who smiles stupidly at their phone...]

[Tsk, tsk, tsk. Look at this display of affection! So showy! So showy! So showy!]

[Dog-abusing couple.]

[Dog-abusing couple +1]

[Damn it, I’m a single dog, why did I watch tonight’s live stream?]

The charity gala auction was about to begin; Mo Zhixuan held an auction paddle in one hand and had his arm around Chu Jin as they walked towards the inner field.

The organizer, a very sensible young man, had specially arranged for Mo Zhixuan and Chu Jin to sit together.

After they took their seats, Wang Kai also came in.

His seat was right behind Mo Zhixuan’s, and from his angle, he had a clear view of Chu Jin’s profile.

When Wang Kai saw Chu Jin interacting with Mo Zhixuan from time to time, he couldn’t help but boil with rage, his hand gripping the armrest tightly, veins bulging on his hand. In fact, Wang Kai suffered from paranoid schizophrenia.

The things he set his sights on, whether people or objects, he would do everything in his power to acquire.

Thus, since the gala had started, his eyes hadn’t left Chu Jin’s face.

On stage, a famous singer was performing a touching song, warming up for the auction below.

At the charity gala, the items up for auction might not be of great value in themselves, but each item has its own story, and all the money raised goes to charity.

In other words, the more you bid on items, the more you highlight your benevolence.

And the more camera time you get.

This is the fastest way to promote oneself in high society, so everyone is ready to do their utmost for appearances, gritting their teeth in preparation for a costly evening.

Nevertheless, nearly two-thirds of the camera time that evening had been given to the dog-abusing couple.

The singing came to an end.

The auction hall fell into darkness, leaving only a beam of snow-white light on the auction stage, where an emcee in formal attire stood next to it. The emcee had a pleasant demeanor and was very engaging. After a brief introduction, he started the evening’s first auction item.

"Good evening, everyone. The first item for our charity auction tonight is a pair of dragon and phoenix jade bracelets, full of color and the essence of jade, without a single impurity, which can nourish and benefit the wearer. These bracelets are the personal handiwork of the nationally renowned sculptor Mr. Wen Ruyu, starting at 100,000. The auction begins now."

"150,000." Someone from below called out a bid.

"180,000!"

"185,000."

"190,000."

Amidst the lively bidding, Mo Zhixuan lowered his gaze toward Chu Jin and asked, "Do you like it?"

"I don’t like it," Chu Jin shook her head gently; she already had one bracelet, and buying another would be a waste.

Nonetheless, as soon as Chu Jin finished speaking, Mo Zhixuan raised his paddle, "500,000!"

The others had only bid up to 200,000, but he doubled it in one go.

In fact, such jade bracelets at past charity auctions would typically go for no more than 200,000.

So, if Mo Zhixuan hadn’t shouted out just then, the jade bracelet would have already been auctioned off.

Comments in the barrage also appeared with the phrase "Boss Mo 666666".

There were netizens who had already seen through everything, "Didn’t you see Boss Mo whispering with the National Goddess just now? She must like it. Speaking of which, my goddess has such good taste! This bracelet is clearly a gem."

"Spending 500,000 yuan on a bracelet worth 100,000 yuan, haha, the world of the rich is beyond our understanding."

"From a professional’s perspective, the shape of the goddess’s lips was clearly saying she didn’t like it! Am I blind?"

"Capricious Boss Mo."

"I also saw it, the goddess said she didn’t like it."

"550,000." The person sitting behind Mo Zhixuan also raised his number card and spoke immediately afterward.

This person was Wang Kai.

Wang Kai had seen all of Mo Zhixuan’s recent actions, and since Mo Zhixuan hadn’t intentionally lowered his voice, Wang Kai heard him quite clearly.

Mo Zhixuan had asked, "Do you like it?"

Although he didn’t hear Chu Jin’s reply, based on Mo Zhixuan’s reaction, Wang Kai could figure out that Chu Jin definitely said she liked it.

Since it was Chu Jin who liked it, he had to get it no matter what.

"700,000." Mo Zhixuan spoke again, calm and composed.

"880,000." Wang Kai also spoke up, relentlessly pursuing the bid.

The camera kept switching between the two men’s faces, and some observant netizens noticed that this was the handsome young man who had greeted the National Goddess earlier!

"It’s the handsome guy, yeah."

"That’s him, that’s him."

"Now this is going to be a good show."

"2 million." Mo Zhixuan seemed to be on a spree against Wang Kai, doubling the price outright.

"3 million." Wang Kai also took the advantage, not showing the slightest weakness.

The war between men, about to erupt.

Everyone turned their attention here, wondering if these two were fools. A bracelet worth 100,000 yuan was being bid up to 3 million by them!

Is your money made out of paper?

Knowing that Mo Zhixuan had the money and that this was for a charitable cause, Chu Jin thus didn’t speak up to stop him.

"6 million!" Mo Zhixuan spoke up again.

"8 million!" Wang Kai followed suit.

"16 million!" Mo Zhixuan’s tone was indifferent, as steady as Mount Tai.

At this point, the barrage on the live stream was about to explode, rhythmically praising with "Worshipping the big shot! 6666666".

Meanwhile, Wang Kai’s forehead was seeping with a trace of cold sweat. He gritted his teeth and said, "18 million!"

He thought, this time he absolutely couldn’t let Mo Zhixuan win the bracelet; it was a matter of a man’s pride, and he had to keep up even if it bankrupted him!

After all, the Wang family was also a prominent household in Capital City! They had been rooted here in Capital City for a long time! They did have the money for this!

"25 million." Mo Zhixuan’s mouth curved slightly as he bid again.

"50 million!" Wang Kai stood up excitedly.

"80 million." Compared to Wang Kai’s excited state, Mo Zhixuan could be said to be as light as a breeze, never overeager or impatient.

"90 million!" Wang Kai directly bid up to 90 million.

"99.99 million."

"100 million!" Wang Kai, with clenched teeth and his whole body breaking out in cold sweat, knew he had to do this as things had reached this point.

After Wang Kai’s bid, he expected Mo Zhixuan to raise the price again, but after he called out 100 million, Mo Zhixuan who had been relentlessly pursuing, suddenly fell silent.

A low-priced item of 100,000 yuan was fiercely bid up to 100 million! The barrage on the live streaming platform had already gone completely wild!

"Obviously, poverty limits my imagination."

"What’s up with Boss Mo? Keep bidding quickly!"

"Boss Mo has chickened out!"

"The handsome young man really has guts!"

The auctioneer on the stage tapped the gavel, somewhat excitedly saying, "100 million once! 100 million twice! 100 million three times! Sold! Congratulations to Mr. Wang Kai from the Wang Group on obtaining the dragon and phoenix jade bracelets."

With a final gavel, the deal was sealed.

A 100,000 yuan item sold for 100 million by the buyer, this was absolutely unprecedented, and people below the stage began to talk excitedly.

This was just the first item auctioned, and its price had risen so high; how much would the prices of the following items skyrocket?

Thinking about this, the hearts of the tycoons were bleeding.

Having successfully snagged the auction item, Wang Kai breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally won the manly dignity in front of Mo Zhixuan.

In the end, it was clear that Mo Zhixuan didn’t love Chu Jin enough. If he really loved Chu Jin, he would have fought with him to the end instead of giving up halfway!

A man like Mo Zhixuan was surely unworthy of Chu Jin!

Believing that after what just happened, Chu Jin must have seen Mo Zhixuan’s true colors! How could a man reluctant to spend money on her be truly in love with her?

At this moment, Wang Kai had no idea that before he came out, his father had only given him 5 million yuan for charity.

Now, he had gone over budget by 95 million yuan!

Though the Wang family had some fame in Capital City, they couldn’t afford to spend 100 million yuan on a pair of bracelets worth 100,000 yuan! His youthful impulsiveness had directly spent one-fifth of the Wang family’s entire assets!

Mo Zhixuan lightly curled his lips, feeling great as he casually draped an arm over Chu Jin’s shoulders and whispered something in her ear.

No one knew what he said.

But the person with a countenance as luminous as jade directly beamed a splendid smile.

As radiant as a summer flower.

It was only then that the audience watching the excitement on the screen realized this had been a trap set by Mo Zhixuan for Wang Kai.

"Boss Mo is so cunning!"

"Boss Mo, is there still a vacancy for a driver at your place?"
