[Zongyingmi] Accidentally fell asleep

"1000 million." Bruce got a little impatient, and directly raised the price to another level.

"Five million." As soon as Bruce finished speaking, Charles immediately raised his card, and the master of ceremonies didn't even have time to react.

Tony's eyes flicked back and forth between Bruce, Martha and Charles, and a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind. He didn't know what he thought of, and hurriedly threw the number plate aside, and quickly left the venue.

"Tony?" Martha watched Tony pass by her, not understanding why he left suddenly, which was not like his character.

Tony, who left the meeting in the middle, suddenly became the focus of the audience, and there was a lot of discussion around, until Bruce spoke again, making the venue quiet again, "2000 million."

Martha was so surprised that her jaw almost dropped to the ground, and she bought a sapphire necklace for 2000 million. If she were Batman's real mother, she would have to beat this prodigal son to death!

A flash of surprise flashed in Charles' eyes, he turned around and teased Bruce, "I didn't expect Mr. Wayne to like that necklace so much, it seems like he is determined to get it."

"I've always been determined to get what I want." Bruce looked at the necklace on the stage, and his tone was as flat as talking about today's weather.

Martha was startled, she could say such nonsense standard lines of the overlord in such a flat tone, except for Batman, probably no one else could do it!

Unexpectedly, Bruce's attitude would be so tough, Charles was slightly taken aback.

He glanced at Martha who was sitting beside Bruce, and smiled politely: "A gentleman does not take what others like. Since Mr. Wayne likes it so much, this necklace... I will give it up."

Bruce raised his eyebrows, "Thank you so much."

"You're welcome." Charles returned the number plate to the staff, stood up and was about to leave the venue, stopped suddenly when passing Bruce's seat, and whispered: "Although I gave you this necklace, I still hope that you Get it into the right hands."

Just as Charles left the venue, the master of ceremonies hammered the final word, and the sapphire necklace was finally photographed by Bruce Wayne at a high price of 2000 million US dollars.

After that, although the master of ceremonies launched a lot of high-quality auction items, the crazy rush just now did not happen again, and everyone seemed to be a little bit less interested.

Martha was also one of them. Her mind was full of the necklace worth 2000 million yuan, and she didn't listen to what the master of ceremonies said.

Bruce also saw Martha's absent-mindedness, and asked in a low voice, "Is there anything you want to buy?"

"No." The items in this auction cost millions, and she doesn't have that much money to buy them!

"Then let's go." After that, Bruce stood up and straightened his clothes, ready to leave.

Martha looked at the stage, and the master of ceremonies was still talking about the auction items, and there were still several items behind, "Don't you have anything to buy?"

"I've got what I want to buy, let's go, I'll take you home."

"Ah."

Martha followed Bruce into the car, and watched the auction venue keep receding through the car window, feeling that the day was finally over in her heart, and her mood suddenly improved.

Back downstairs in the apartment, Martha couldn't wait to leave, "Mr. Wayne, thank you very much for your hospitality today, I'll go back first."

"Wait a minute." Bruce called to Martha, and gave her a beautifully packaged box, "This is for you."

The box looked familiar, and the corners of Martha's eyes twitched, feeling a bad premonition in her heart.

She opened the box, and it really was the sapphire necklace just now.

"Sorry, this necklace is too expensive, I can't accept it..."

"This necklace is called 'Azure', and it is said to be made by a mutant." Bruce took the necklace out of the box and put it in Martha's hand, "Because of his innate ability, he lives every day In pain, not being understood by the world, and unable to understand others, until he found this blue stone."

Martha's eyes fell on the pendant inlaid with sapphires, and she saw that it exuded a faint blue light under the moonlight, and it really didn't look like an ordinary sapphire.

"This is a very special ore. It can strengthen and stabilize the mental power of mutants, and it can also isolate the mental intrusion of other people. It is very suitable for you."

It turns out that this necklace is so powerful, no wonder Tony and the professor wanted to snatch it at the auction just now.

"I understand your kindness, but this is too precious..."

Martha was troubled in her heart, if she didn't know the price of this necklace, maybe she would have accepted it happily, but she also watched Bruce write a check for 2000 million to the auction staff.Anyway, I have to send it, so why not just give her the 2000 million check!

"If you don't think you need it, just throw away this necklace. I bought it just to give it to you. It has no use for me. It's just a piece of garbage."

"..."

Fuck!Throwing away 2000 million?Is this man in his right mind? !

Thinking of throwing away the 2000 million necklace, Martha felt so distressed that she subconsciously protected it in her arms.

There was a smile in Bruce's eyes, "It seems that you are willing to accept it."

Having said all this, Martha couldn't evade any more, so she obediently accepted the necklace.

"Do you need me to help you put it on?"

Seeing Bruce approaching, Martha was startled and subconsciously avoided.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the car became awkward.

Martha quickly put the necklace back into the box, and laughed awkwardly, "No, I'll just go home and make it myself, and I won't trouble you."

"Okay." Bruce may also feel that he was abrupt, but he didn't respond to Martha's rejection. "If you encounter anything in the future, you can call me at any time."

Martha was about to get out of the car when she heard this sentence and almost bumped her head against the glass.

What the hell is this awful line?Fuck!The story of the domineering president falling in love with me didn't really happen to her, did it? !Batman is not her type!

Martha was so flustered that she felt the need to ask Bruce clearly.If Bruce really fell in love with her blindly, then she would definitely not accept this necklace.

Gentlemen love fortune, in a proper way.She is not willing to sell herself for money and become the heroine in Ba Zong's novel.

Martha made up her mind to ask Bruce clearly, and the gift box in her hand was deformed by her pinching, "That...Mr. Wayne, can I ask you a question?"

"of course."

"Why did you give me this necklace? With all due respect, I don't think... this necklace is worth the price at all."

"Because this necklace suits you very well."

At this moment, Martha felt like a thunderbolt.

Damn!God let her endure so many years of poverty and suffering in Queens, is it for the purpose of making her a domineering woman today? !

No!She will never succumb to fate easily!

Martha cleared her throat, thinking about how to speak clearly to Bruce, "Mr. Wayne, I am very grateful for your kindness, but I'm afraid I can't accept it."

Bruce was a little surprised, frowning slightly, "Why?"

Didn't she just agree to accept the necklace?

It was the first time for Martha to refuse someone's love in such a big age, especially for such a rich man. She was afraid of hurting his self-esteem when she said it bluntly, and she was afraid that he would not understand her when she said it bluntly. She really didn't know how to say no.

"Mr. Wayne, I think...you should also understand that there is no way to force things like feelings." Martha said while carefully looking at Bruce's expression, for fear that he would be unhappy and make her king Liang Po, "I am very grateful for your kindness, but I really can't accept your feelings. You are so good, you will definitely meet a girl who is a thousand times better than me..."

"Wait!" The more Bruce listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, his brows were frowned, and his tone was full of disbelief, "You think I like you?!"

Bruce raised his forehead, "Although I don't know why you have such an illusion, I still want to tell you very sorry that I absolutely don't mean that to you!"

Martha: "..."

Is it her illusion?Why do these words seem to be full of disgust?

"Then why did you ask me out for dinner, and why did you dress me up so beautifully and accompany you to that charity auction, and why did you give me such an expensive gift?" Martha was also dumbfounded. Could it be that this rich man didn't give it to others? Is it an uncomfortable disease to spend money on?

"That's because I am very grateful to you for helping Gotham over and over again, and last time I got you hurt so badly, I was really sorry, so I wanted to give you this necklace as compensation. "Bruce was also embarrassed. He didn't expect Martha to misunderstand her intentions as pursuits.

Bruce doesn’t have much experience in giving gifts to women. Usually, he just gives the cards to his female companions and let them swipe them casually. In my impression, their favorite things to buy are either expensive bags or jewelry, so he will choose them at the beginning. I bought the diamond necklace that ordinary women would love to put it down when they see it.

Who knew that Martha was unwilling to accept that diamond necklace. He was worrying about what to give instead, when he suddenly remembered that Wei Lan would appear at tonight's charity auction, so he took Martha there to take a photo of it and give it to her in person. , to show sincerity.

Martha was finally able to let go of her thoughts all night, and she let out a long breath, "It's a good thing I'm just being sentimental, otherwise I wouldn't dare accept your kindness."

The exaggerated tone dispelled the original awkward atmosphere a lot, and the corners of Bruce's mouth also rose a little, jokingly said: "Then you can accept it now? Otherwise, I will have to think about what gift I should give you to compensate you."

"Since you said that, I'm sorry to embarrass you any longer. I'll accept this necklace, thank you." After understanding that there was no special meaning behind this necklace, Martha was finally able to accept it with confidence.

However, Martha still couldn't help but feel distressed when she thought that the necklace originally worth 100 million was bid to 2000 million. "Actually, if you made it clear earlier, the way to repay me would be much easier."

"Well, I didn't expect it to be so complicated."

There was something in Bruce's words, and Martha knew that he was implying that she rejected the diamond necklace he gave him in the morning, which caused so many things to happen tonight, her face was slightly hot, "No, no matter what, I still want to thank you gift and your kindness."

"It should be, after all I owe you so much." The clown abducted her under his nose, which was a thorn in his heart, "If you need help in the future, please come to me at any time."

"With your words, I will not be polite in the future."
