Chapter 320: "Xiangyunxuan" Antique Shop
Yang Jianping knew he was in the wrong, so he didn't refute, but he didn't pay attention either, and he was a little lost. He admitted that he was moved by Zhao Xiyuan.
He and Zhao Xiyuan dated for three years before getting married, so they had feelings for each other, but men are visual animals, and when Zhao Xiyuan was no longer as beautiful as before, he would feel tired and would not be able to take her out to every party.
Moreover, when he has money, his circle of friends is different. Seeing that everyone around him has lovers, mistresses, and cheating, he naturally cannot withstand such temptation, so he betrays Zhao Xiyuan.
At first, he still felt guilty about Zhao Xiyuan, but every time he saw Zhao Xiyuan's bloated figure and unkempt appearance, he would feel disgusted. Over time, he no longer felt guilty.
At first, he was just playing around and had no intention of getting a divorce, but every quarrel made him extremely annoyed, and finally he had a showdown.
After watching the show, Xu Jingchen asked Chen Meng and the others to find a seat and took Gu Ning to the appraisal office to appraise the official kiln brush washer and sign the contract. Of course, Leng Shaoting also went with them.
After appraisal, the official kiln brush washer was confirmed to be authentic, so it passed. However, because Gu Ning's item was delivered last, it had to be put last.
Gu Ning didn't care, as long as it could be auctioned.
When Gu Ning and his companions returned to the venue, Gu Ning's gaze inadvertently fell on a couple. His gaze suddenly narrowed, hatred and murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and his aura became colder.
Tang Yaxin, Qi Ziyue.
At this time, Tang Yaxin and Qi Ziyue were talking to someone.
Leng Shaoting and Xu Jingchen were so perceptive that they immediately sensed that Gu Ning's aura had changed. They looked at Gu Ning and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Hearing Leng Shaoting and Xu Jingchen's voices, Gu Ning's expression immediately returned to normal, and she also restrained her cold breath.
"Nothing, I just saw two annoying people."
Gu Ning had thought countless times about what her reaction would be when she saw Tang Yaxin and Qi Ziyue. She thought she could remain calm, but she still couldn't help wanting to kill them.
Leng Shaoting and Xu Jingchen did not ask more questions, but they thought it was not just a simple matter of dislike. Would dislike lead to murder? But since Gu Ning was unwilling to say, they did not ask more questions.
Qi Ziyue felt a sudden chill that made him shudder, but when he looked in the direction of the chill, he found nothing.
"What's wrong?" Tang Yaxin asked when she saw Qi Ziyue acting strangely.
"Nothing." Qi Ziyue didn't know what was going on, so he could only say it was nothing.
At this moment, the celebrities who came to participate took their seats according to their numbers because the auction was about to begin.
The seats were arranged in a round table format, with three in a row. Each table could seat six people, but there were seven people in Gu Ning's group, so they had someone add an extra seat.
The seats were arranged according to status. As the young master of the most wealthy family in Beijing, Xu Jingchen's status was naturally not low. The others also came in the name of the Xu family, so they were assigned seats on the right side of the second row.
The first row is full of experts, and the second row and onwards are guests. The higher the status of a person, the closer they sit to the front.
As a third-rate wealthy family, the Tang family was arranged to sit in the third row, at the leftmost table, which was just opposite to Gu Ning's.
Gu Ning didn't want to think about Tang Yaxin and Qi Ziyue, so as not to affect his mood, so he deliberately sat with his back to them.
However, now that they were under the same roof, she couldn't help wanting to think. Fortunately, she couldn't see them, so there was nothing wrong with her.
However, she was soon attracted by the auction of business cards and had no extra time to care about Tang Yaxin and Qi Ziyue.
The auction is not just about auctioning antiques and paintings, but also real estate, bases, and shops.
What attracted Gu Ning was the ninth auction item, the Xiangyunxuan antique shop. According to the above introduction, this antique shop was located in the Antique Street, and the location was not bad, in the front street of the Antique Street.
"Xiangyunxuan" has been open for more than 70 years, starting during the Republic of China period, so "Xiangyunxuan" is still quite famous in Beijing and its business is pretty good.
The reason for auctioning "Xiangyunxuan" was that some time ago, the wife and son of the owner of "Xiangyunxuan" died in a car accident. He was heartbroken and no longer had the heart to run the business, so he sold it and returned to his hometown.
Gu Ning felt that the antique calligraphy and paintings in his Jade Eye Space would just be left there anyway, and he would continue to find bargains for them in the future, so he might as well open an antique shop.
Although she currently only has a dozen genuine items, an antique shop does not sell only genuine items. If it only sells genuine items, then the business will be difficult to do, because not everyone can afford the real thing, but if it is imitations and handicrafts, many people will buy them because they are cheap.
So, Gu Ning decided to shoot "Xiangyunxuan".
The shop is not small, covering an area of 86 square meters, with two connected storefronts and two floors, and the foundation and property are sold together.
At two o'clock, the auction began.
A mature and charming woman wearing a high-slit red cheongsam walked onto the auction stage.
When they saw that woman, many people immediately recognized her. Wasn't that woman Zhao Xiyuan who had just had an argument with Zhang Jiajia?
As soon as he saw Zhao Xiyuan, Yang Jianping's eyes immediately widened, which made Zhang Jiajia so angry that her face turned blue. She pinched Yang Jianping fiercely, and because she didn't dare to speak, she could only stare at him. But Yang Jianping still looked at Zhao Xiyuan on the stage stupidly, without giving Zhang Jiajia any response, which made Zhang Jiajia so angry that she wanted to flip the table.
Of course, she didn't dare to do that, and because she didn't dare to do that, she had no place to vent her anger, which made her feel even more uncomfortable.
"Dear guests, ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon! Welcome to the auction held by Detian Auction Company today. I am Zhao Xiyuan, the chief auctioneer of Detian Auction Company."
Zhao Xiyuan paused for a moment, then continued, "Today's auction items originally had 12 items, which have been announced on the auction list sent to everyone. However, one more item was added today, so today's auction items are thirteen. This last item is a Song Dynasty official kiln brush washer. I hope all bidders will bid enthusiastically."
What? A Song Dynasty official kiln brush washer? As soon as this was said, everyone was shocked. The price of this item must be very valuable! Especially those who like calligraphy and painting naturally prefer the four treasures of the study, so several calligraphy and painting enthusiasts have set their eyes on this Song Dynasty official kiln brush washer.
"Okay, ladies and gentlemen. Now, we will auction the first treasure..."
When the first auction item came out, people who wanted to bid on it came forward to take a look. Most of the people who came here were well-educated, so they were very orderly when viewing the auction items.
