Chapter 138 Let Me Go
Anyone with eyes at the scene could see the strong smell of gunpowder between Xu Youyou and Gu Yuji.
The auction venue, which was originally bustling with activity, now only had the two of them bidding.
There were also people who truly loved this Yongzheng famille rose longevity olive vase and wanted to continue bidding, but before he could open his mouth, he was stopped by the people around him.
"If they fight, the price will definitely be raised extremely high. If outsiders get involved recklessly, what if they become the ones who take over? Don't be impulsive."
Once a dispute of pride becomes involved, the nature of the auction changes, and those who truly love the bottle can only hold back their hands that are itching to bid.
The happiest person today is undoubtedly the current owner of the bottle, Wu Shunyi.
"Five hundred and one million." Gu Yuji had a cold face. The most important mission for him to come to the capital this time was this bottle, and he really didn't dare not to follow.
He thought Xu Youyou didn't dare to follow him, but he didn't expect that Xu Youyou continued to provoke him almost as soon as he finished speaking: "Five hundred and fifty million."
Everyone in the audience focused their attention on the two people bidding.
Gu Yuji looked at Xu Youyou steadily, as if he wanted to see through her completely.
There was no fear on Xu Youyou's face as she looked back at Gu Yuji without avoiding or giving way.
Lin Yashu waited on the stage for a moment and asked, "Is there any offer higher than Miss Xu's? Five hundred and fifty million once, five hundred and fifty million twice..."
Lin Yashu's words made everyone present nervous. If there were no accidents, this price should be the highest bid in this auction.
Gu Yuji stared at Xu Youyou, trying to see fear or regret on her face, but there was none. Xu Youyou just looked at him with interest the whole time, not afraid at all to actually buy the bottle.
Seeing that Lin Yashu was about to raise the hammer to make the final move, Gu Yuji almost gritted his teeth and spoke: "Five hundred and sixty million."
There was an uproar at the scene, but Lin Yashu didn't even have time to speak.
Xu Youyou smiled at Gu Yuji, her red lips parted; "Six hundred million."
Gu Yuji's face was full of gloom at this moment, and she looked as if she wanted to eat Xu Youyou: "Miss Xu, do you like this bottle so much?"
Xu Youyou smiled and said, "The house is short of a vase, and this one is perfect. Mr. Gu, why don't you give it to me?"
Gu Yuji couldn't see through Xu Youyou, but he felt as if Xu Youyou saw through him. If he liked the bottle, he would definitely give up the bidding after fighting for it to this point.
But this bottle is the purpose of his trip to the capital, and he cannot give it up.
"Six hundred and ten million." Gu Yuji gritted his teeth and made the offer, already thinking that if Xu Youyou continued to bid, he might give up this collection.
But unexpectedly, when Xu Youyou heard the price, she did not continue bidding, but looked at him with a smile.
Gu Yuji finally understood where her elder brother Gu Fengchuan's hatred for this cheap sister came from.
She did it on purpose! Last time at the auction in Shanghai, she raised the price randomly to tease Gu Fengchuan! Lin Yashu waited for a moment, looked at Xu Youyou with an inquiring look, and saw that she really had no intention of continuing to bid, so she said: "Six hundred million once, six hundred million twice, six hundred million three times, congratulations Mr. Gu, you have successfully won your beloved item."
Xu Youyou took the lead in applauding: "Nice bottle, nice price."
She actually felt quite regretful in her heart. No matter how high the price Gu Yuji asked for now, it was actually not as good as Lu Jingyao's offer abroad. But from Gu Yuji's look, it seemed that he was on the verge of giving up the auction, so Xu Youyou didn't dare to gamble anymore.
After getting the bottle, Gu Yuji wanted to leave, but Gu Xueying wanted to stay.
"Third brother, don't you want to see what Xu Youyou wants to buy?" Gu Xueying asked in a low voice.
She thought that after she said this, Gu Yuji would definitely stay and cause trouble for Xu Youyou, and she could also stay and socialize with these celebrities from all walks of life.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yuji opened her thin lips and said something very unpleasant: "I am not that idiot Gu Fengchuan, and I don't want to continue to see you flirting with that idiot from the Xingzuan family."
Gu Xueying's face turned pale. She didn't expect that he had seen her little actions. She tried to explain: "I am also doing this for the Gu family."
"You know better than anyone who this is for," said Gu Yuji.
Gu Xueying watched him leave and without daring to delay, she immediately chased after him.
He didn't care about Chai Wei's attempts to persuade him to stay: "It's only been a short while since the auction, why did she leave?"
The person next to him immediately comforted his young master: "Young master, our Xingzuan family is rich and powerful. We don't have any kind of beauty you want. If you really like her, you can ask Mr. Chai to arrange a blind date between you and Miss Gu. I'm sure the Gu family won't dare to refuse."
Chai Wei was really moved when he heard this and said, "Yes, she looks gentle and is a girl from the same circle. Although her family background is a bit low, as long as she behaves well, she would be suitable to be my wife."
The people around him were just about to breathe a sigh of relief.
Chai Wei suddenly touched his chin and said, "Speaking of which, Miss Xu's face is prettier than Miss Gu's. I don't know which family she is from. She seems to have a bad temper. It's not suitable to marry her. But if we keep her away..."
The person next to him immediately said, "Master, Miss Xu seems to be close to Lu Jingyao."
Chai Wei immediately looked unhappy and said, "Forget it. For a girl with such a bad temper, I'll let Lu Jingyao take over."
Xu Youyou didn't know that she had been coveted by others. She was only focused on her collections. The hammer price of the piece was 26 million, which was about what she expected.
Now it is Zeng Gong's family letters' turn to be auctioned.
As soon as Lin Yashu called out the starting price, the people below immediately started moving.
"Two hundred million." Lu Jingyao was the first to raise the sign, and it seemed that he was determined to get the Zeng Gong family letter.
Chai Wei, who had not made a bid, also raised his sign: "Two hundred and ten million."
After quoting the price, he also gave Xu Youyou a greasy smile.
Xu Youyou was so excited by this that she wanted to cancel the auction on the spot.
Lu Jingyao raised his sign with a dark face: "Two hundred and fifty million."
There were many people who wanted Zeng Gong's family letter. Almost as soon as he raised the sign, someone shouted, "Two hundred and sixty million."
"Two hundred and seventy million."
"Two hundred and eighty million."
The bidding increment at the auction was actually no less than one million per bid, but the bidders seemed to have agreed on it, and no bid was less than ten million.
"Three hundred million." Lu Jingyao made another offer.
When the price reaches this level, fewer people are willing to continue bidding.
Chai Wei suddenly stood up and bowed to Lu Jingyao, saying, "Three hundred and ten million, Mr. Lu, your father won the bid for Zhao Mengfu's "The Goddess of the Luo River" last time, so please let me win this time."
