Chapter 249: Sky-high Price Oil Painting

Chai Wei felt that Gu Xueying was a little impulsive, but saw Lu Jingyao's surprised look.

He suddenly felt that it was worth it and looked at Lu Jingyao with a little pride.

In fact, Chai Wei has been compared with Lu Jingyao by his father many times over the years. His father's ranking on the domestic wealth list was far higher than Lu's father's.

It’s a pity that the father is a tiger and the son is a dog.

Chai Wei was far inferior to Lu Jingyao, and because of his father's frequent comparisons, he had been holding his breath and wanted to surpass Lu Jingyao.

Lu Jingyao couldn't understand Chai Wei's inexplicable desire to win, so he just raised his sign and continued to bid: "20 million euros."

The price was raised by nearly double in one go, and now the price of this jar has reached 150 million RMB. The only one still bidding with Lu Jingyao is Chai Wei.

Chai Wei hesitated, not knowing whether to continue bidding.

Gu Xueying, on the other hand, felt more and more that this was what Xu Youyou wanted. Even if she was unwilling to admit it, she knew that Lu Jingyao seemed to really love Xu Youyou.

Gu Xueying also believed that Lu Jingyao's current behavior was just to make the beautiful woman smile.

"Twenty-one million euros." Gu Xueying raised the sign and shouted the price.

Chai Wei frowned slightly and didn't like being pushed around by Gu Xueying.

Gu Xueying smiled gently and said, "Brother Wei, didn't you say that grandpa likes the blue and white jar very much? I originally wanted to buy this porcelain as a birthday gift for your grandpa this year."

Chai Wei did say this at the beginning, but the current price seems too high to him.

Gu Xueying smiled very appropriately and said, "As a child, filial piety comes first. You don't have to think about buying me a gift. It's enough as long as your grandfather can get something he loves."

What Gu Xueying meant by saying this was that she gave up on getting her favorite collection at this auction, and instead put the money she was going to spend on herself into this auction.

To be honest, Chai Wei initially thought that Gu Xueying was just a decent marriage candidate, but when he heard her say this, he couldn't help but feel moved.

Having seen all kinds of gold diggers who tried desperately to get money from him, he rarely saw a girl like Gu Xueying who was sensible and filial, who was willing to give up the priceless treasure she had obtained just to help him fight with his rivals.

"Xueying, if my grandfather knew that he had a granddaughter-in-law as sensible as you, he would definitely be very happy." Chai Wei praised.

Gu Xueying cooperated with a shy smile.

Chai Wei was not stingy with his female companions. He had originally planned to give his girlfriend Gu Xueying about 50 million yuan, which is equivalent to more than 6 million euros after conversion.

Lu Jingyao really liked this blue and white jar and he also had plenty of cash, so he offered: "Twenty-five million euros!"

Both Xu Youyou and Lu Jingyao thought that this price could directly kill the competition.

But he didn't expect that Gu Xueying would be willing to suffer a loss in order to suppress Xu Youyou.

Chai Wei said: "Twenty-six million euros."

This price may not sound high but it actually converts to nearly 200 million RMB.

Without blinking, Lu Jingyao said directly: "30 million euros."

Chai Wei: …

It is really difficult for Chai Wei to continue pursuing the matter this time. He did not come to Europe to help his father with his work, and the money he is bidding now is all his own pocket money.

Although he is not unable to keep up, if he really does, it will hurt his wallet.

Gu Xueying wanted to persuade him again, but Chai Wei held her hand and said with a smile: "We have tried our best. If Grandpa knew that you are so filial to him, he would like you very much even if you didn't take the treasure away."

Gu Xueying forced a smile on her face.

For some reason, even though she only lost this round of auction, she always felt as if she had lost her entire life.

There were a few more collections behind, but Gu Xueying was no longer interested. Just to avoid being at a disadvantage, she reluctantly revealed her love for a set of pink diamond jewelry.

The market value of that set of jewelry is about 30 million RMB, and the starting price is set at 2 million euros.

Chai Wei just called out a price.

Lu Jingyao immediately followed up: "Three million euros."

Xu Youyou was not very interested in this set of pink diamond jewelry, and Lu Jingyao did this purely to cause trouble.

Chai Wei couldn't help but glare at him and said, "Mr. Lu, a gentleman helps others to achieve their goals. I gave you the blue and white porcelain jar earlier, so don't fight with me for it this time."

Lu Jingyao was not so easily led into a ditch by him, and said directly: "You didn't let me, you just couldn't compete with me."

Chai Wei was so angry at his ridicule that he didn't even bother to raise the price slowly and directly called out the price to 4 million euros.

Lu Jingyao chuckled and said, "Mr. Chai, you won't get your beloved things if you procrastinate. Ten million euros."

Chai Wei thought that Lu Jingyao was really crazy. He raised the price by more than double in one breath. Reason told him that he should not continue to bid, but looking at Lu Jingyao's smiling face, he couldn't help it.

"Eleven million euros!"

He thought to himself that if Lu Jingyao continued to bid, he would give up this set of pink diamond jewelry.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Unexpectedly, Lu Jingyao spread his hands and indicated that he would no longer bargain.

Everyone present was very familiar with the prices and no one continued to bid. This set of pink diamond jewelry worth 30 million RMB was eventually bought by Chai Wei at an extremely high premium of more than 80 million RMB.

Chai Wei suddenly felt that he had too much money to burn and wanted to regret it, but he held it back. He could only comfort himself that he could go home and beg his mother to make up for the tens of millions he had lost.

"It's beautiful, thank you, I like it very much."

In front of everyone, Gu Xueying gave Chai Wei enough face.

But she didn't know why. Even though she had won the competition against Lu Jingyao, she couldn't be happy at all. It was as if she had lost.

About half an hour later, the last piece of collection was carried up, and there were bursts of exclamations from the audience.

This is a painting.

The title of the painting is quite ordinary.

"Woman with a Watch".

What is unusual is the artist of this painting: Picasso.

Xu Youyou didn't expect that her appraisal of calligraphy and painting also included paintings by foreigners. After she appraised them, she lowered her voice and said, "Really.

But neither she nor Lu Jingyao participated in the bidding. After all, they had money and were more inclined to collect works of their own country's masters.

No matter how famous these Western paintings were, Xu Youyou couldn't understand much.

The foreigners present, on the other hand, seemed to be called by some kind of faith and were all excited. The price kept rising, and the price of the painting was pushed up to 100 million euros, making it the real king of today's exchange auction.

With the sale of this painting, the auction officially ended.

Gu Xueying perked up and asked Xu Youyou, "With so many collections today, did Miss Xu get what she wanted?"

Xu Youyou nodded: "Thank you for not snatching it from me."

Gu Xueying was stunned. She was clearly competing for the pink diamond jewelry and the blue and white porcelain jar, so why would Xu Youyou say that?

Immediately afterwards, Gu Xueying saw the handsome man who bought the castle walking straight towards Xu Youyou and Lu Jingyao.

"I really don't understand why you insist on buying a castle? Don't you know how eerie it is in there?" the handsome man complained.
