Chapter 16: Squeeze
When Gu Fengchuan heard this, all the blood in his body rushed to his face and he felt extremely ashamed.
He still remembered taking care of his frail fake sister, and sent her to sit in the second row before running angrily to the first row.
"What are you doing sitting here? The first row is for the top guests of the auction. Don't wait for them to come and chase you away!"
Gu Fengchuan was about to pull Xu Youyou up from the chair.
Xu Youyou looked at him as if he were an idiot: "The seat assigned to me is right here."
"What a liar! This seat has always been Mr. Lu's exclusive seat. You'd better move out of the way. If people know about your relationship with our Gu family, won't everyone be embarrassed with you?" Gu Fengchuan looked at Xu Youyou as if he was looking at something dirty.
Xu Youyou was already extremely annoyed, so she waved her hand.
A staff member in a suit came over immediately: "Miss Xu, do you need anything?"
Xu Youyou said: "This person blocked my view and kept pestering me."
The staff member immediately walked between the two of them and said to Gu Fengchuan with a smile: "Mr. Gu, everyone here is a person of status. Even if you want to pursue a beautiful lady, you must not do anything that is ungentlemanly."
Gu Fengchuan was furious when he heard this. He was Xu Youyou's brother, so why did this staff member look at him as if he was a toad? Even if they were not siblings, how could he pursue this liar! "Everyone has their own place, why don't you take care of her?" Gu Fengchuan said, pulling the staff member.
The staff member looked a little puzzled and said, "I am serving Miss Xu now. I am not ignoring her."
Gu Fengchuan said, "She took Mr. Lu's place. When Mr. Lu comes later, won't he be angry?"
The staff member smiled awkwardly and said, "This is Miss Xu's seat, and Mr. Lu's seat is here."
The staff pointed to the seat next to Xu Youyou.
Gu Fengchuan looked at him with a serious look. If the place where Xu Youyou was sitting now had the best view in the whole venue, then the seat arranged for Mr. Lu by the auction was the second best position in the whole venue.
"How come Xu Youyou's position is better than Mr. Lu's?" Gu Fengchuan looked puzzled.
The staff member just smiled and said, "Mr. Gu, our auction house has its own rules. I have explained everything to you. The auction will start soon. Otherwise, you should return to your seat."
Gu Fengchuan returned to the second row in a daze.
Seeing Xu Youyou still sitting in the best seat, Gu Xueying couldn't help but feel anxious: "Brother, why is my sister still sitting there? Don't the people at the auction care?"
Gu Fengchuan said: "They said that's where Xu Youyou is."
Gu Xueying's pupils suddenly trembled.
But something even more surprising happened to her.
Lu Jingyao happened to walk in accompanied by staff. As soon as he reached the first row, he saw that his seat was already occupied, and his eyes hesitated for a moment.
But the staff quickly directed him to the seat next to him.
Lu Jingyao hesitated for about three seconds and slowly sat down. He looked down at the small golden card and confirmed that this was his seat.
After he sat down, Xu Youyou glanced at him. This man was really too dazzling.
Although he also looks extremely handsome, Song Zhibai has a broken look on his body. One look at him makes people feel pity for him, or want to ravage him ruthlessly. It's like the moon hanging high in the sky, which one either keeps a distance from or wants to catch in the palm of one's hand.
The Lu Jingyao in front of him was like the sun hanging high in the sky. He was born to be the focus of everyone's attention. Anyone seemed to feel ashamed in front of him.
Facing Xu Youyou's gaze, Lu Jingyao nodded slightly at her.
Lu Jingyao had seen Xu Youyou's information, but she was much whiter than in the photo. The last time he saw her was in the residential complex, where she was holding a small yellow dog.
Assistant Liu was very efficient and quickly found out that Xu Youyou was a new resident who had just moved into Tomson One.
Although she was young, she seemed to be wealthy and bought the best unit in the building with full payment.
Lu Jingyao had always wanted to take a closer look at the dog that Xu Youyou raised, but he was too busy with work recently and had no chance to arrange a meeting.
Now seeing each other at the auction, Lu Jingyao took the initiative to extend his hand: "Hello, Lu Jingyao."
Xu Youyou was stunned for a moment before she held his hand: "Xu Youyou."
Xu Youyou secretly thought it was a pity. The man in front of her was obviously not short of money, otherwise she could have lured him to her entertainment company and formed a "Sun and Moon" group with Song Zhibai.
The two men clasped hands and then separated.
Lu Jingyao felt the delicacy of his palm at that moment, and finally suppressed the strangeness in his heart, still looking as if nothing had happened.
Lu Jingyao was not a talkative person, so some of the social tasks were naturally done by others. At this time, Assistant Liu beside him took the initiative to ask: "I have never met Miss Xu before. Is this your first time attending an auction?"
Xu Youyou didn't think much about it. Some things cannot be disguised or concealed, so she nodded.
Assistant Liu looked at his boss's expression and continued to inquire about the news: "Ms. Xu, you are here to participate in this auction. Do you have any collections you like?"
The first row of the auction was for important guests. There were two seats in total, and the seats were round sofas. A round sofa could seat at least four people. Xu Youyou was the only one sitting in that seat.
On the small table in front of Xu Youyou was a brochure of all the collections in this auction. She also saw the Doucai cup she had provided, which was placed on the last page.
"I'm here to broaden my horizons." Xu Youyou said.
Assistant Liu's eyes revealed doubt. After all, Xu Youyou's seat was better than his boss's, which showed that she had extraordinary financial resources.
"What do you want to take pictures of here? Is it the Doucai cup?" Xu Youyou asked with a smile.
Assistant Liu shook his head: "Mr. Lu hasn't made up his mind yet."
Xu Youyou sighed in her heart that the assistants around these big shots were all shrewd people. This was obviously an excuse. It was obvious that the other party was unwilling to reveal his goal.
Gu Xueying, who was sitting in the back row, watched Xu Youyou and Lu Jingyao shake hands and have a great conversation with each other, her eyes almost spitting fire.
She tried her best to get closer to Mr. Lu, but failed several times. Who would have thought that Xu Youyou could chat and laugh with him so easily.
She looked back at Gu Fengchuan. The eldest brother was still in shock, as if he couldn't understand how Xu Youyou was able to stay in that position.
Gu Xueying's heart moved. She really wanted to be closer to Lu Jingyao, so she took the initiative to say to Gu Fengchuan: "Brother, the seat next to me is still empty. Why don't we squeeze in? The view from the front row is better."
