Chapter 17 Humiliating Oneself
Gu Fengchuan was inevitably moved when he heard this.
Xu Youyou is sitting next to Lu Jingyao. There are countless people in Shanghai who want to have a relationship with Mr. Lu, and the Gu family is no exception.
Gu Fengchuan happens to have a project recently and hopes to involve Mr. Lu in it.
The brother and sister reached a consensus in the shortest time possible, but Gu Xueying was used to hiding herself behind her brother, so her pace lagged behind a little.
Gu Fengchuan walked all the way to Xu Youyou, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with his actions.
"Youyou, this is a rare opportunity. We can sit together and strengthen our relationship." Gu Fengchuan barely found an excuse.
After saying that, he sat down next to Xu Youyou, right at the seat closest to Mr. Lu.
Xu Youyou looked at his actions, and the confusion on her face almost solidified.
"We are a family. You will have to return home sooner or later..." Gu Fengchuan gave his excuse.
Gu Xueying also echoed: "Sister, I will do my best to help you integrate into the Gu family."
Gu Xueying also sat down.
Xu Youyou was just a step slow in reacting, she was not really stupid. Looking at the two people talking to themselves, after sitting down, she did not try to communicate with her, but stared at Lu Jingyao next to her with shining eyes.
"I say, are you too self-righteous?" Xu Youyou said with a frown.
Gu Fengchuan turned around and said casually: "Youyou, you are a child of the Gu family, you must know that the overall situation is the most important thing."
Gu Xueying also said: "Sister, I know you still hate me in your heart, but now we are in public, some of the words I say may make outsiders laugh, sister, calm down."
Perhaps because she was reborn, Xu Youyou was not as easily provoked by Gu Xueying as she was in her previous life.
She smiled at the brother and sister and said, "It seems that you are really very self-righteous."
Under the suspicious gaze of the brother and sister, Xu Youyou still chose to call for help. She raised her voice slightly and said to the staff: "These two people are not my companions, but they took my seat. Don't you care?"
The staff member moved quickly and came forward immediately: "Mr. Gu, Ms. Gu, your seats are in the back row. It will be very difficult for us to take other people's seats like this."
Gu Fengchuan pointed at Xu Youyou and said, "She is my sister. We are a family, inseparable."
Xu Youyou sneered: "Your surname is Gu, and mine is Xu, how can we be a family?"
After the staff member glanced at the three of them, he still made a gesture of invitation to the Gu brothers and sisters.
Gu Xueying glanced at Lu Jingyao beside her with some embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "Sister, my brother has an important project to discuss with Mr. Lu. Now is really not the time for you to be willful."
Gu Fengchuan also stared at Xu Youyou. He was sure that Xu Youyou would put the overall situation first.
Unexpectedly, Xu Youyou's voice became louder: "Gu family? The wealthy Gu family in Shanghai? Just because your family is a so-called wealthy family, you don't have a seat in the first row, so you come to grab someone else's seat? Do you still have any shame?"
The dispute in the first row had already attracted the attention of the people behind. Now that Xu Youyou's voice was so loud, the whole place suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at the Gu siblings with strange eyes.
Gu Xueying's face turned red with shame, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. Gu Fengchuan widened his eyes and looked at Xu Youyou in disbelief.
"Are you crazy?" Gu Fengchuan asked. He couldn't believe that this cheap sister wouldn't even give him any face.
Xu Youyou rolled her eyes: "You think you're right to snatch someone else's position?"
The staff was watching the tense situation and was really afraid that the two would fight on the spot, so they quickly pulled Gu Fengchuan back and said in a low voice, "Mr. Gu, everyone here is a person of status. If it gets out of hand, it won't be good for the Gu family."
Gu Fengchuan's original intention of taking advantage was completely dashed. As he became angry, more and more doubts arose in his heart.
According to his investigation, Xu Youyou grew up in an orphanage and was introverted and shy. A girl like this would normally suffer in silence when encountering such a situation and would not dare to make a fuss.
Xu Youyou was really different from what he had imagined.
Gu Xueying had never thought that she would be so embarrassed. She only hated that she was wearing a dress and could not cover her face with her sleeves. She returned to her original seat in shame.
Although she lost the opportunity to chat with Mr. Lu, she still treated Xu Youyou as her opponent like a lion trying to protect its territory, and spared no effort to stop Xu Youyou from returning to the Gu family.
"Is my sister angry with me? Even if she is angry with me, she can't be so disrespectful to my brother in public!" Gu Xueying acted as if she was standing up for Gu Fengchuan.
Gu Fengchuan snorted coldly and said, "This bastard who grew up in an orphanage doesn't know what politeness and manners are. Compared to you, she is so far behind."
Gu Xueying felt relieved when she heard her brother belittling Xu Youyou, but her eyes were still fixed on the front row.
After seeing the Gu family's joke, Lu Jingyao couldn't help but look at Xu Youyou a few more times.
"What is her relationship with the Gu family?" Lu Jingyao asked Assistant Liu beside him.
Assistant Liu was also helpless at this time, but he still pretended to be guilty, as if reflecting on his incompetence: "Boss Lu, I only know that this Miss Xu suddenly appeared, was born in an orphanage, and recently won the lottery. The house in Tomson Yipin was also suddenly in her name. The source of the money is clean, but it is unclear."
Lu Jingyao didn't mean to blame Assistant Liu, he just looked at Xu Youyou twice more.
After Xu Youyou sent away the fly, she continued to look through the auction brochure in front of her.
Soon, with the entrance of the auction host, the auction finally began.
The staff waiting on the side finally breathed a sigh of relief. There were too many problems with Xu Youyou's position, and the staff were afraid that something strange would happen and affect other guests' impression of their auction.
The first item in the auction was a pink diamond necklace with a starting price of two million yuan.
Xu Youyou took a look and found it was indeed dazzling.
It’s just that she doesn’t like wearing anything too heavy around her neck, so she has no intention of auctioning it off.
Not only her, Lu Jingyao who was sitting next to her obviously didn't come for the necklace either.
Xu Youyou was originally waiting for the necklace to be sold, but unexpectedly she heard a familiar voice suddenly.
She looked back and saw that it was Gu Fengchuan who was bidding.
"Since you like it, I'll buy it for you." Gu Fengchuan said to Gu Xueying beside him with a smile.
