Chapter 35 Happy Wedding
Lin Youning: “…”
Very good, nasty rich people.
Although she is now considered a semi-rich person, she still wants to say this.
"What are you thinking about?" Gu Huaichen asked in a low voice after glancing at the emotion on her face.
Lin Youning: “Nothing.”
She couldn't tell him that she was complaining about him in her heart.
Lin Youning continued to look down at the manual, and suddenly saw a string of very beautiful and perfect natural pearls. Her eyes lit up and she bumped into Gu Huaichen's arm.
Gu Huaichen lowered his head and said, "You will raise your cards later."
Lin Youning curled her lips and said, "Then I would like to thank Mr. Gu first."
Gu Huaichen didn't say anything.
In addition to the pearl necklace, Lin Youning also thought that the pair of gemstone earrings in the auction were also good. However, she had to look at the starting price of the earrings. If they were not expensive, she would not be polite to Gu Huaichen and would just buy them.
If it's expensive, that's another matter.
The auction officially began and the host came on stage.
This was not the first time that Lin Youning came to the auction, but the scale of this auction was obviously different from her previous visits.
The things at the front are not very eye-catching, and the more collectible and expensive ones are mostly left at the back.
The painting that Ji Nutu wanted came out, and Gu Huaichen was the first to raise the sign.
Lin Youning originally thought that after Gu Huaichen raised his bid, no one would follow. After all, no one wanted to offend the Gu Group. What she didn't expect was that Mr. Zhao, who had just greeted her and Gu Huaichen, also followed suit and bid.
Lin Youning glanced over and saw that Mr. Zhao even curled up the corners of his mouth and smiled at her.
The smile is a bit malicious.
Lin Youning quickly looked away.
Fortunately, Mr. Zhao had some sense of propriety and only raised the price twice, thus allowing the painting to fall into Gu Huaichen's hands.
After the paintings and calligraphy were auctioned, the next items were vases that Lin Youning was not very interested in.
Then, there was the pearl necklace that she had her eyes on.
Ordinary pearl necklaces are not too expensive, but if they are auctioned, the quality will not be too bad.
Some are purely natural, which is relatively rare, and it is even rarer to find a series of pearls with the same color.
But what Lin Youning didn't expect was that when she raised the sign to bid, Mr. Zhao started again.
Lin Youning frowned slightly, feeling that something was not right. She pursed her lips and wanted to ask the people around her if they had a grudge against Mr. Zhao, but she felt that now was not the right time.
Lin Youning could only wait.
In addition to Mr. Zhao, some others also started raising the price.
Somehow, a pearl necklace became a popular item.
Hearing the much higher premium, Lin Youning felt a little pain. Just when she was hesitating whether to continue to raise the price, Gu Huaichen raised the sign in his hand and directly doubled the price.
The pearl necklace with a starting price of over one million yuan was directly increased to six million yuan.
The people around were shocked.
Lin Youning was also surprised, "Why did you double it directly?"
Gu Huaichen: “Lazy.”
Lin Youning choked up a little and whispered, "I can't draw it."
"Can't draw it?" Gu Huaichen repeated Lin Youning's words, raised his thin lips slightly, raised a slight arc, and said slowly, "There are no such words in my dictionary."
Lin Youning was speechless.
Gu Huaichen said calmly: "As long as Mrs. Gu likes it."
Hearing this, Lin Youning was slightly startled, with a flash of surprise in her eyes. Gu Huaichen's face was calm, as if he was just talking about a very ordinary thing and saying a very ordinary sentence.
He didn't know that his words disturbed Lin Youning's heart.
Someone once said to her: As long as Ningning likes it, it's fine. As long as Ningning likes it, her father will satisfy her whatever she wants.
Unfortunately, that person had long forgotten what he had said and the promise he had made to her.
Lin Youning tried hard to suppress her rapidly beating heart rate, pursed her lips and said, "No."
Gu Huaichen: “What?”
Lin Youning picked up the sign in his hand and held it in her hand. "I do like this pearl necklace, but I don't think it's worth the price, so I don't want it anymore."
She whispered to Gu Huaichen, "If Mr. Gu feels sorry about this, please help me take a picture of this pair of earrings later."
"..." Gu Huaichen lowered his eyes and looked at the pair of earrings she was pointing at. His voice slowed down and his elegant eyes turned to her, "Mrs. Gu, you can have both."
Lin Youning: "The pearl necklace, you can ask for it later."
She deliberately said, "Mr. Gu won't stop giving it to me in the future, right?"
Gu Huaichen looked at her steadily, "Are you sure?"
Lin Youning: “Yeah.”
Although the Gu family and Gu Huaichen were rich, she herself would occasionally be taken advantage of, but she didn't want to be a multi-millionaire.
She did like the pearl necklace, but she didn't like it so much that she had to have it.
If it really comes to that, she will raise the price herself without Gu Huaichen raising his hand.
Hearing this, Gu Huaichen said no more: "Then it's up to you."
While the two were talking, others were still bidding.
Some people also turned their attention to Gu Huaichen and Lin Youning, as if waiting for them to raise the price.
Gu Huaichen and Lin Youning calmly accepted everyone's stares.
Finally, the pearl necklace was bought by Mr. Zhao for eight million.
Lin Youning glanced over inadvertently and saw Mr. Zhao smiling at her provocatively.
Lin Youning said "idiot" in his heart.
Later, Lin Youning successfully bought the earrings she wanted.
But what she didn't expect was that at the end of the auction, there would still be things that didn't appear in the brochure.
"Is it the axis that is pressed?" she asked Gu Huaichen.
Gu Huaichen: “Yeah.”
"Do you know what it is?" Lin Youning asked.
Gu Huaichen shook his head, "I don't know."
Lin Youning: “…”
She blinked and whispered, "I thought you knew everything."
Gu Huaichen smiled, "Mrs. Gu."
"What?" Lin Youning whispered.
Gu Huaichen: "I didn't know why the pearl necklace was not photographed."
It was his way of telling her that he was not omnipotent.
Lin Youning said awkwardly, "That's my problem."
"I don't blame you."
While the two were whispering, the last lot was presented.
Lin Youning looked up and was a little surprised when she saw the last lot. She didn't expect that the last lot was a hairpin. A translucent jade hairpin.
It is prettier and darker than the one on Lin Youning’s hair.
"Do you like it?" Gu Huaichen asked.
Lin Youning paused, and when she met his gaze, her heartbeat, which had just calmed down, began to beat rapidly again. "This hairpin should be more expensive than the pearl necklace."
Gu Huaichen: “I don’t know.”
Lin Youning: “…”
Very quickly, the bidding began.
As Lin Youning guessed, the starting price of the hairpin was 3 million, twice as expensive as the pearl necklace.
Soon, someone raised the price.
"Four million."
"Five million."
…
When the amount reached eight million, Gu Huaichen slowly raised his card and said, "Ten million."
Everyone turned their heads to look in their direction.
Lin Youning accepted the attention with a smile.
She didn't whisper to Gu Huaichen anymore.
"10 million for one time." The host on stage who was in charge of hosting this auction shouted, "Anyone else want to bid?"
"Twelve million." A female voice came from the other end.
Lin Youning turned her head and looked over, feeling vaguely familiar with the person.
"Fifteen million." Gu Huaichen's voice.
Lin Youning: "Gu Huaichen."
Gu Huaichen: “A small number.”
Lin Youning stopped talking.
Some people around saw that Gu Huaichen was determined to win, so they started bidding and raised the price.
In the end, Gu Huaichen bought the hairpin for 28 million.
Lin Youning felt a pain in his flesh.
Soon, someone sent the hairpin to Gu Huaichen.
Gu Huaichen directly handed the hairpin to Lin Youning.
"Mrs. Gu." He lowered his eyes to look at her, and said in a low and deep voice, "Happy wedding."
