Chapter 129: Little Thoughts (Additional Update 2 for Voting)
One minute before Xu Youyou spoke, she asked Lu Jingyao: "I remember that today's service staff seemed to be young people from various families?"
Lu Jingyao nodded: "In such an occasion, the Lin family will not let people who don't know their background come in casually."
Xu Youyou frowned: "You don't allow people to come in casually? These two got in."
Lu Jingyao was speechless.
Xu Youyou watched Gu Xueying gain the upper hand. The young waiter was so annoyed that he was about to cry, so he spoke up and exposed Gu Xueying's little tricks.
"If anyone bumps into her, you will think she is interested in Gu Yuji? Come to think of it, Gu Xueying, you look so protective of her. You don't act like a younger sister. Instead, you act like Gu Yuji's first wife." Xu Youyou joked loudly.
It was just a casual remark, but Xu Youyou noticed that Gu Xueying was avoiding his gaze.
Are you feeling guilty? Gu Xueying stiffened her neck and said, "My third brother is young and promising. We are not willing to make a fuss about this little girl's confusion. Why do you have to point it out?"
After Gu Xueying said this, it seemed that Xu Youyou was inconsiderate.
Xu Youyou said, "You are so shameless! Are there no other young talents here? Gu Yuji is just a young painter. As everyone knows, in this industry, only works are valuable after death. How can the living Gu Yuji compare with the others here?"
"Let's not talk about the people far away. Mr. Lu next to me is much better than Gu Yuji in terms of appearance, wealth, and demeanor. Why don't I see any young girls bumping into him?"
When the wrongly accused waitress saw Xu Youyou speak up for her, her anger was swept away and she said loudly, "Yes, I don't like this effeminate man! I only like porcelain!"
Xu Youyou continued: "If bumping into him means that you are interested in him, then..."
Before Xu Youyou finished her words, her body moved and crashed into Gu Yuji like a cannonball.
Gu Yuji was caught off guard and was bumped by her. He staggered and almost fell to the ground, looking very embarrassed.
Xu Youyou smiled and said to the Gu siblings: "I didn't mean to bump into you, just think that I'm interested in you and fell in love with you at first sight."
The others present burst into laughter, and the waitress laughed particularly loudly.
Gu Yuji steadied himself, listening to the noises around him, his sinister eyes looking as if he wanted to eat Xu Youyou: "Xu Youyou, you are fine."
Xu Youyou responded with a provocative smile. She couldn’t see clearly in her previous life, but when she looked at the two siblings in this life, a strange feeling suddenly arose in her heart.
Gu Yuji has always been very protective of Gu Xueying, almost without any discrimination as to right or wrong.
Sometimes, Gu Xueying would even deliberately frame Xu Youyou in front of Gu Yuji.
Xu Youyou thought that he was her relative and would get his consent if she asked him for help. But when she met other members of the Gu family, Xu Youyou was confident that she could clear her grievances.
But in return, Gu Yuji stabbed him in the back.
Gu Yuji was involved in all of Xu Youyou's most painful experiences in the Gu family in her previous life.
He is like a poisonous snake, with no sense of right and wrong, no sense of kinship or blood ties, and everything he does is for Gu Xueying.
Xu Youyou still remembers that when Gu Xueying had a miscarriage, she met a crazy Gu Yuji.
Gu Yuji's eyes were red, he wished he could kill Xu Youyou, and shouted that he would send Xu Youyou to Myanmar. He even pinched Xu Youyou's neck several times. If other people in the Gu family hadn't held him back, Xu Youyou would have died in his previous life before the disease broke out.
A dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of Xu Youyou.
At some point, Lu Jingyao took a step forward and stood between her and Gu Yuji.
"You are worthy of being my sister. With your pretty face, you have charmed Mr. Lu to the point of bewilderment." Gu Yuji said in an extremely frivolous tone.
He emphasized the three words "sister" particularly, and it didn't sound like he was talking to Xu Youyou and Lu Jingyao, but more like he was talking to someone else.
"Mr. Gu, it's not gentlemanly to say such things to a girl." Lu Jingyao said in a deep voice.
Gu Yuji chuckled, her feminine and handsome face full of coldness.
"Lu Jingyao, you treat this waste that the Gu family doesn't want as a treasure."
When Xu Youyou heard this, she wasn't angry at all.
"Is the Gu family something so great? Do I need the Gu family's approval? Gu Xueying treats my identity as a treasure that I don't want."
Gu Xueying looked embarrassed, but the incident just now had made them lose face. She could not please Lu Jingyao, nor did she dare to offend him. At this time, she tried her best to hold Gu Yuji and said in a low voice: "Brother, we came to the capital for something to do."
Gu Yuji is a mad dog, and Gu Xueying is the rope that holds him back.
At this time, he restrained his expression, looked at Xu Youyou coldly, said nothing more, and entered the porcelain hall.
Xu Youyou did not leave immediately, but paused at the door for a moment. When she saw that the brother and sister's target was the Yongzheng famille rose vase, she couldn't help but look surprised.
"They want to buy this bottle? They seem to really want to buy the expensive porcelain?" Xu Youyou said in a low voice.
Xu Youyou noticed that the Gu family was buying expensive porcelain at the last auction. Could it be that they failed in the bidding against Lu Jingyao for the colored cup and turned their attention to the Yongzheng famille rose vase? Lu Jingyao probably understood what she was thinking and said in a low voice, "They can't compete with Mr. Cheng for the Qianlong enamel bowl, they can only compete for this bottle. If such expensive porcelain is to be sold, it will be the highlight of today. It will be on sale at least in the afternoon or evening."
Xu Youyou nodded. She also brought some things to sell, so she should have time to watch over the fun at Gu's house.
She turned around and pulled Lu Jingyao into Hall No. 2, which seemed to be a special room for calligraphy and painting.
"Look at this fan of mine. I got it with great difficulty." A man in a Zhongshan suit said this proudly to the people around him.
Xu Youyou leaned over to take a look. He was holding a brocade box in his hand, with a fan spread out inside the box.
Xu Youyou now has the "rudimentary skills of calligraphy and painting appraisal". With just a quick glance, she can see some clues.
"The calligraphy of Wen Zhengming, one of the Four Great Masters of the Ming Dynasty!" Xu Youyou said.
The middle-aged man turned his head and glanced at her, and said, "The little girl has quite sharp eyes!"
Xu Youyou was somewhat tempted when looking at the fan. After all, the price of this kind of calligraphy and painting would not be particularly high, probably around one million, which was within her affordability. She could definitely buy one and take it home to study.
"Mr. Lu, what treasure did you bring this time?"
Someone recognized Lu Jingyao and asked him about it.
Lu Jingyao shook his head: "I came here with a friend."
Everyone else present looked at Xu Youyou with curiosity.
Xu Youyou was well prepared and took out the letter from Zeng Gong.
"A letter from Zeng Gong! Oh my God! The last time it appeared was at an auction in Hong Kong?"
"Is it true?"
"This handwriting, this seal, can't be faked!"
"Mr. Tang? Where is Mr. Tang? Ask him to come over and take a look!"
Not long after, an elderly man with gray hair, leaning on a cane and looking to be in his seventies came in, supported by someone.
"I heard that a kid brought some rare treasures here. Can I see them?" Mr. Tang asked with a smile.
