Chapter 128 Old Tricks
Xu Youyou was just about to go take a look at other antique halls when she suddenly heard a noisy sound coming from outside.
"Yongzheng colored powder longevity olive vase! Brought back from abroad! The national treasure is back, Mr. Wu is righteous!"
Xu Youyou and Lu Jingyao looked at each other. When they heard the name of the bottle, they both recalled what happened abroad.
"What happened to the bottle that I tricked you with?" Xu Youyou asked.
"That bottle belonged to Denard's youngest son. He asked someone to secretly replace the bottle with a fake one before delivering it. Denard probably didn't know about it at first, but even if he knew, he would probably just help cover it up for his son and pass it off as a lie. I should thank you for that."
Lu Jingyao lowered his voice and explained to Xu Youyou the truth about the bottle being auctioned abroad.
Xu Youyou shook her head and said, "Why are you thanking me? I got nearly 100 million for nothing. This money was earned too easily."
Lu Jingyao chuckled, and then said with some fear: "I lost so much money. Fortunately, although the Denard family held a grudge afterwards, they only blamed me and didn't look for you."
Xu Youyou was stunned when he heard this.
"Revenge from the Denards?"
Lu Jingyao nodded: "The time you rescued me abroad, it was the Denar family who took the lead, and the Shirel family assisted."
When Xu Youyou heard that it was two top foreign families who joined forces to attack, she thought to herself that it was no wonder. She said that with Lu Jingyao's caution, he would not fall into danger so easily. It turned out that the enemies joined forces, which made it impossible to defend against.
Xu Youyou was actually also retaliated against. After leaving the warehouse auction, she encountered a gunfight, but she managed to save her life thanks to the system.
She had no intention of mentioning the gunfight at this time. Lu Jingyao was beaten up by the group of people and lay in the trash can. If it weren't for Xu Youyou, Lu Jingyao's subordinates would have racked their brains and would never have thought that their boss was hiding in a stinky trash can waiting to die.
In comparison, although Xu Youyou was also attacked, she dodged it with a nonchalant attitude. She was afraid that Lu Jingyao would be embarrassed if she told him about it.
Xu Youyou suddenly felt something was wrong. Thinking of the girl who brought gasoline on the plane back to China, could this also be a part of the other party's revenge? But Aunt Shen, an important scientific research talent on the plane, seemed to be very important as well.
Xu Youyou was thinking about this and that, and couldn't sort out her thoughts for a while, so she simply stopped thinking about it and just said, "These foreigners are really not worth having fun with."
Lu Jingyao said helplessly: "There is no other way. The cost of committing crimes abroad is too low. If they can't solve the problem, they will choose to solve the person."
While the two were talking, the people chatting outside the door had already come in, surrounding a man in his fifties with most of his hair white.
The man had a weather-beaten face and a hint of sadness between his brows, and looked like a businessman.
"Mr. Wu actually brought such a good treasure to the exchange meeting?" someone asked the owner of the bottle.
"I ran into some minor problems with my business and I need money urgently. Otherwise, how could I bear to sell such a treasure?" Wu Shunyi said.
He was so generous that others also had good intentions: "Don't worry, Mr. Wu, such a good porcelain must be wanted by someone. Fortunately, Mr. Lu is here. He likes Yongzheng porcelain very much. Maybe he will buy it."
"Mr. Lu!" Wu Shunyi was very excited to see Lu Jingyao.
Lu Jingyao nodded slightly at him, glanced at Wu Shunyi's porcelain without leaving a trace, and looked at Xu Youyou instead.
Xu Youyou shook her head imperceptibly.
Lu Jingyao had a clear idea in his mind. He was not the one who was taken advantage of, but Wu Shunyi was.
"Mr. Lu, I heard that you are very interested in this Yongzheng famille rose longevity olive bottle..." Wu Shunyi took the initiative to say.
Lu Jingyao shook his head and said apologetically: "Please forgive me, Mr. Wu. I came here today for other collections."
Wu Shunyi's face froze. He didn't expect this result. This time he brought the Yongzheng powder bottle to the exchange meeting, and his most important potential customer was Lu Jingyao.
Xu Youyou looked at Wu Shunyi with sympathy, but she didn't know whether this man knew that the bottle was fake.
"There's no particularly interesting porcelain here. I want to go see something else." Xu Youyou said proactively.
Lu Jingyao nodded and said, "I'll go with you."
The other people in the room were also confused when they saw this scene. Lu Jingyao had a cold personality, and they had never thought that he would be so gentle to a young girl.
And it was directed at Xu Youyou, a young girl who had never been famous in the circle.
For a moment, curiosity about Xu Youyou almost overshadowed attention to porcelain.
Xu Youyou was unaware of the whispers behind her. As soon as she stepped out of the door of the porcelain hall, she saw a familiar young couple walking in the yard from afar.
It looks quite eye-catching.
The woman has cherry lips, a beautiful nose and a delicate face, while the man has superior bone structure, a cold expression and a bit of nonchalance.
Xu Youyou frowned in confusion. Why did Gu Xueying and Gu Yuji appear here? Shouldn't Gu Xueying be having a hot affair with Lu Shaoyan at this time, and then get engaged at the speed of light?
Before Xu Youyou could figure out the reason, she watched the young female waitress who was responsible for serving tea. She seemed to be muttering something, and she was not paying attention while walking, and accidentally bumped into Gu Yuji.
"Sorry...I'm sorry!" the waitress said in a low voice.
Gu Yuji looked at the waitress with a vicious look, then turned around, took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the dust off her body, as if the waitress was some dirty thing.
"Put aside these little tricks, I'm not interested in you." Gu Yuji said coldly.
The waitress blushed on the spot: "You, you, you...what nonsense are you talking about?"
The little girl was so angry that she couldn't speak clearly.
Gu Xueying gently tugged at Gu Yuji's sleeve and said in a voice that was neither too loud nor too low, "Third brother, the girl was just confused for a moment, please be more friendly."
It would have been fine if she didn't say anything, but once she opened her mouth it seemed like she confirmed the waitress's ulterior motives.
The waiter opened his eyes wide: "Who is confused? I just didn't walk steadily..."
Gu Xueying looked back at the waitress gently, with a kind of tolerance in her eyes that outsiders could not understand: "It's okay, the little girl is very proud. How can you admit that you created an accident to attract attention? But don't do it again in the future. It will really cause trouble to others. You can go down first. Don't worry, we won't bother you."
Gu Xueying seemed to be speaking for the waitress, but in fact, every word she said made the waitress completely embarrassed.
Xu Youyou watched the waitress who was so anxious that she was about to jump up. She felt very empathetic as she felt like a headless fly, not knowing how to explain herself, and was so embarrassed that she dug her toes into the ground because of the strange looks from people around her.
Gu Xueying seemed to be as good at this as ever.
But Xu Youyou was no longer the Xu Youyou from her previous life. She immediately said:
"Gu Xueying, it was just a collision. Do you think you are filming an idol drama?"
