Chapter 306 Broken
His words were miserable, but no one present would fill this hole for him.
It was as if some kind of switch was touched, Lu Jingyao was willing to take over, and the others shared the same opinion.
An old man said in a deep voice, "I've always warned you not to do anything you'll regret because of your own momentary likes and dislikes."
When the young buyer heard this, he lowered his head in shame.
Finally, the old man made the final decision: "We will buy this calligraphy."
The young buyer immediately became anxious: "Grandpa, this is 2.1 billion..."
His grandfather glared at him and said, "If it weren't for so much money, would you have learned your lesson?"
The conversation between the grandfather and grandson was heard by many people present. Perhaps it was because of these words or because the treasure had already been auctioned off, but the next three items were sold smoothly.
The fourth item for auction was the golden nanmu box that Xu Youyou had her eyes on.
In order to avoid being accused of buying the box and returning the pearl, the auction item was sold together with the box and the contents.
Although golden nanmu is valuable, it is really nothing to the people present. Together with several jade pieces inside, it was finally sold for 30 million Hong Kong dollars.
Xu Youyou felt relieved when she saw that it was the person arranged by Lu Jingyao who took the hammer and bought the item.
She was completely appreciative of the subsequent auctions, and the atmosphere on the scene gradually became lively until the Ru kiln celadon wash was auctioned.
Obviously, many people were interested in this treasure. The middle-aged man who had wanted to ask Xu Youyou to appraise it for free was now very determined. He raised his hand and bid several times in a row, showing that he was determined to keep the item.
The person he was biting was not someone else, but Gu Fengchuan.
After several rounds of bidding, Gu Fengchuan became hesitant.
"Brother, isn't it inappropriate for us to snatch Xu Youyou's things like this? Let's just forget it." Gu Xueying said softly.
She always knows how to stimulate Gu Fengchuan.
Sure enough, after hearing what his sister said, Gu Fengchuan raised the price again.
"Our family has not had a good time over the past year, and it's all because of Xu Youyou. If she hadn't interfered, Star Diamond wouldn't have collapsed, and Lu Jingyao and Xie Ran wouldn't have suppressed our family so much. We must not let her get her wish this time. Sister, don't feel any psychological pressure. After all, we were going to buy a good piece of porcelain to give to the Dragon King." Gu Fengchuan said.
Gu Xueying responded with a worried look on her face. She looked up and happened to see Xu Youyou, who was sitting next to the first person, whispering something in Lu Jingyao's ear.
The next moment, Lu Jingyao took a fancy to the middle-aged man who had been bargaining with them.
And the middle-aged man just gave the latest offer.
Gu Xueying watched them talking back and forth. Xu Youyou, who always loved to cause trouble for them, did not raise the price this time. This made Gu Xueying more certain that this Ru kiln porcelain was what Xu Youyou wanted, and that the unfamiliar middle-aged man was Xu Youyou's shill.
As these two people raised the price, the price of this Ru kiln porcelain directly reached 500 million Hong Kong dollars.
Xu Youyou leaned close to Lu Jingyao's ear and didn't say anything else, but just asked Lu Jingyao if he knew the middle-aged man.
Lu Jingyao had a good memory. "That's Mr. Wang, who runs a real estate business in the capital. His company had a lot of labor disputes in the early years, so it was considered a risky enterprise. That's why no one wanted to work with him in recent years."
Xu Youyou recalled that Mr. Wang's working style was indeed quite disliked.
If it were usual, Xu Youyou would probably be happy to raise the price, but after experiencing the "Lanting Preface" incident, she was also afraid that she, the one who raised the price, would end up being the one who took the bid. After all, she didn't really want to buy this Ru kiln porcelain.
Little did she know that her decision not to bid higher was being interpreted differently by Gu Xueying. She couldn't help but sigh to Lu Jingyao, "The Gu family really loves porcelain. Every time I see them at an auction, they're desperately trying to buy porcelain."
In the previous life, the Gu family never brought Xu Youyou with them when they attended top auctions. Given Xu Youyou's marginal status in the Gu family, she had no idea what treasures they bought, so she couldn't figure out whether she had loved porcelain in the previous life as well.
In the end, this Ru kiln celadon glaze washbasin was sold for HK$7.8 million, and the buyer was Gu Fengchuan.
Even after the photos were taken, Gu Fengchuan still felt a sense of unreality. He couldn't help but say to Gu Xueying, "Xu Youyou has ample funds, so why doesn't she let her people continue to follow?"
He would never admit that he was the one taking over.
Gu Xueying quickly said, "Having sufficient funds doesn't mean she's willing to spend so much. Children from an orphanage are bound to be timid when doing things, or maybe she wants to maintain a good image in front of Lu Jingyao."
Gu Fengchuan said nothing more.
Until the end of the auction, Xu Youyou and Lu Jingyao did not bid again. They both looked like they were just there for fun.
When they paid and went to pick up the auction items, the brother and sister met Xu Youyou and Lu Jingyao again.
Xu Youyou said casually: "It's a big deal. Most people wouldn't be willing to spend so much money on a celadon glaze washbasin."
When Gu Fengchuan heard this, his face suddenly became extremely ugly.
"Are you deliberately asking people to raise the price with me?" Gu Fengchuan asked.
Although Xu Youyou felt puzzled, she deliberately put on a smug expression and said, "You're still so easy to fool."
Hearing her say this, Gu Fengchuan wanted to eat her alive.
Lu Jingyao quickly stood in front of Xu Youyou and said, "Mr. Gu, no one forced you to bid."
Gu Fengchuan gnashed his teeth, his eyes wandering between the two of them for a moment, and said viciously, "Okay, very fine! Xu Youyou, you personally forced us to become your enemy."
When Xu Youyou heard this, she just wanted to laugh. The Gu family had said too many harsh words to her, but only a few of them had any real impact.
Just at this moment, someone brought the golden nanmu box to Xu Youyou.
As Xu Youyou got the treasure, the system's task completion settlement sound rang in her ears.
Gu Fengchuan was hit again: "Is this what you really want to buy? You deliberately let your assistant talk to that Wang guy to divert attention!"
Although Xu Youyou didn't remember arranging the conversation between Liu Xiangyi and the man surnamed Wang, she still accepted it. After all, Gu Fengchuan's angry expression at this moment really made her happy.
Gu Fengchuan was unable to continue to cause trouble for Xu Youyou because he was in new trouble.
He paid more than 700 million Hong Kong dollars and received a piece of Ru kiln porcelain in complete packaging. He inspected the goods on the spot and found no problems.
But when his car arrived at the hotel and he carefully took out the treasure, he just took a look at it and felt like his whole body was broken.
"Impossible! It was fine before, how could it break?"
