Chapter 247 Sedan
"There's nothing you want, just say it. My girlfriend will get whatever she wants." Chai Wei assured Gu Xueying with a smile.
Gu Xueying forced a smile on her face, her eyes always involuntarily following Xu Youyou and Lu Jingyao.
She appeared to be open and generous on the surface, but in her heart she wished she could swallow Xu Youyou in one bite. She always felt that this shouldn't be the case. Ever since Xu Youyou refused to compete with her for the status of a wealthy family's daughter, Gu Xueying felt that things had gotten out of control.
It shouldn't be like this. She felt that Xu Youyou should be the one going crazy, and she should not be the one trying to please the Gu family crazily.
She should sit high up in the clouds, looking down at Xu Youyou, instead of enduring Xu Youyou's sympathetic gaze like she is now.
Gu Xueying was annoyed with Chai Wei. She had seen many greasy young men in the circle, but the one in front of her was still the most annoying.
If Gu Yuji hadn't suddenly lost contact, and if Xu Youyou and Lu Jingyao hadn't been meddling, the Gu family wouldn't have brought her back to Shanghai from Jinling.
Her lie about studying abroad was exposed, and the Gu family repeatedly questioned her about who the father of her child was.
Naturally, Gu Xueying didn't dare to mention Gu Yuji, and could only casually gloss over it. Just then, Chai Wei pursued her, and Gu's father seemed to see that trash finally had value, and almost urged her to please Chai Wei, completely ignoring the fact that her health had not yet recovered.
Gu Xueying even began to hate the Gu family.
"What do I want? I have everything. There's really nothing I want in particular." Gu Xueying said casually.
Chai Wei immediately took charge: "Since you're here, how can you not want anything?"
Gu Xueying smiled lightly and said, "I originally thought that London was nothing special, but after accompanying you here this time, I suddenly found it very interesting."
Chai Wei particularly enjoyed this kind of perfunctory flattery.
As soon as the auction started, Chai Wei put all his efforts into buying a piece of treasure that Gu Xueying liked.
In comparison, Lu Jingyao was too relaxed. A business he had just invested in had yielded huge returns and he now had sufficient cash flow.
"Do you see any particularly good friends here?" Xu Youyou suddenly asked.
Lu Jingyao immediately said, "Are you willing to meet my friends? Actually, they are very curious about you, but I'm a little afraid that you will be scared by them."
Xu Youyou shook her head and lowered her voice to whisper a few words into his ear.
Lu Jingyao nodded: "Okay, I'll take care of this."
Lu Jingyao turned around and went to the reception room nearby, and returned twenty minutes later.
As soon as he came back, Lu Jingyao couldn't help but frowning when he saw the person next to Xu Youyou.
"Lu, long time no see. Did you miss me?" After asking this, Xi Rui'er was about to cry into Lu Jingyao's arms.
Lu Jingyao moved extremely quickly, as if he was dodging some garbage.
Xi Ruier's hug was empty, but she didn't look embarrassed. Instead, she said, "You Chinese are too reserved. It's just a hug. You are so stingy."
Lu Jingyao still remembers what happened to him in the United States. At that time, he couldn't figure out whether it was done by Xi Ruier or another person. Thinking about it afterwards, it was most likely done by these two parties together.
"Ms. Shirelle, sometimes meeting each other too often is not a good thing." Lu Jingyao said casually.
Xi Ruier looked Lu Jingyao up and down. He was different from ordinary Chinese men. Not only was he tall and handsome, but his appearance was the kind that conformed to the aesthetic standards of both China and the West.
The more she couldn't get it, the more itchy Shirelle felt.
"Lu, are you saying this because you don't want to see me more often? It's so ungentlemanly of you to talk like that." Xi Ruier complained in a half-truthful manner.
Lu Jingyao had no intention of explaining. After the life and death incident in the trash can, he terminated his cooperation with the Shirel family and had no business dealings with them. His cold face was extremely obvious.
"My girlfriend and I have something to discuss. Excuse me." Lu Jingyao took Xu Youyou and left directly without any intention of continuing to greet her.
Xi Ruier looked at their backs, and a handsome young man in his twenties appeared beside him: "My master, you seem to really like this man? Do you want me to give him some drugs?"
Xi Ruier glared at the people around him and said, "This person is not easy to mess with. Don't mention such things again."
It’s not that Xi Ruier gave up her desire for Lu Jingyao, but after the two business cooperation was terminated, her father’s business was immediately and brutally suppressed by competitors, and it took nearly a year to recover.
She and her father suspected that the competitor was so aggressive because he had the secret help of Lu Jingyao. After suffering a loss, she also knew that Lu Jingyao was a tough guy and she should not continue to be so reckless.
"My master, even if he can't eat it, it would be good to give him some trouble, like raising the price at the auction?" the handsome man whispered.
The corners of Xi Ruier's mouth slightly raised, and he gently patted the man's face: "You are still quite useful."
Xu Youyou didn't know that before she found the treasure she wanted, she had already booked two rivals who were bidding higher.
Xu Youyou saw several familiar Chinese faces again, several of whom she had met at the small exchange meeting in the capital.
There was even Cen Mingzhu, who had once socialized with him because of the extremely expensive jade.
Even He Zhilan participated in this small exchange auction.
"When I see you guys, I feel like I haven't been abroad." Xu Youyou complained to He Zhilan.
He Zhilan had contacted Xu Youyou before, so Xu Youyou knew early on that she would also come to attend this small auction.
He Zhilan smiled and said, "The smaller the auction, the more people come. It's even more lively than the big auctions at Christie's and Sotheby's."
Xu Youyou asked, "The owner of this kind of auction doesn't charge any commission, so why would they bother to host it?"
He Zhilan lowered his voice and said, "Some are real, some are fake. On the surface, the owner did not gain any benefits, but on the one hand, he accumulated connections. On the other hand, only they themselves know whether they have gained any actual benefits."
After hearing this, Xu Youyou couldn't help but look at He Zhilan twice more. The He family had held many private auction exchanges. From what He Zhilan said, it was obvious that her He family had also benefited a lot from such things.
When the time was almost up, a middle-aged man who looked like a butler began to introduce the rules of today's auction.
After listening to his long story, Xu Youyou couldn't help but sit up straight because the first auction item was brought up.
A chair made of rosewood.
To be precise, this is a sedan chair, which was also called a shoulder sedan chair in ancient China.
