Chapter 136 Let me
Anyone with eyes at the scene could see the strong tension between Xu Youyou and Gu Yuji.
The auction venue, which was originally bustling with activity, was now home to only the two of them bidding.
There were also people who really 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 driven up extremely high. If outsiders get involved recklessly, what if they end up being the ones to 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 now is undoubtedly the current owner of this 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 to disobey.
He thought Xu Youyou didn't dare to follow him, but he didn't expect that as soon as he finished speaking, Xu Youyou continued to provoke: "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, and 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? 550 million once, 550 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, not afraid at all to actually buy the bottle.
Seeing Lin Yashu about to raise the hammer to make the final move, Gu Yuji practically gritted his teeth and said, "Five hundred and sixty million."
There was an uproar at the scene, but before Lin Yashu could say anything.
Xu Youyou smiled at Gu Yuji, her red lips parted; "Six hundred million."
Gu Yuji's face was filled with 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, "We're short of a vase at home, and this one would be 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 this bottle, he would definitely give up 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 didn't continue bidding, but looked at him with a smile.
Gu Yuji finally understood where her elder brother Gu Fengchuan's hatred for this adopted sister came from.
She did it on purpose! Last time at the auction in Shanghai, she had raised the price in the same way to tease Gu Fengchuan!
Lin Yashu waited for a moment, then looked at Xu Youyou with an inquiring look. Seeing that she had no intention of continuing to bid, she spoke, "Six hundred and ten million once, six hundred and ten million twice, six hundred and ten million three times. Congratulations, Mr. Gu, for successfully winning the item you love."
Xu Youyou led the applause: "Nice bottle, nice price."
She actually felt quite regretful. No matter how high the price Gu Yuji asked for now, it was actually not as high as Lu Jingyao's offer abroad. But from Gu Yuji's look, it seemed that he was on the verge of giving up the bidding, 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 see you flirting with that idiot from the Xingzuan family anymore."
Gu Xueying's face turned pale. She didn't expect that he had seen her little movements. She tried to explain, "I'm 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 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 beside him immediately comforted his young master: "Young Master, our Xingzuan family is wealthy 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 by what he said and said, "Yes, she seems to have a gentle personality and is a girl from the social 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 even prettier than Miss Gu's. I just don't know where she comes from. She seems to have a bad temper. It's not suitable to marry her. But if you keep her away..."
The person next to him immediately said, "Master, Miss Xu seems to be close to Lu Jingyao."
Chai Wei's face immediately turned ugly and he said, "Forget it, with such a bad temper, I'll let Lu Jingyao handle it."
Xu Youyou didn't know that she had been coveted by others. She was focused on her collections. The hammer price of the Ministry of Revenue's one or two pieces was 26 million, which was about the same as her expectation.
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 letter from Zeng Gong's family.
Chai Wei, who hadn't bid yet, 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 overwhelmed 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 bid increase at the auction was actually no less than one million per bid, but it seemed as if the bidders had agreed on it, and no bid increase was less than ten million.
"Three hundred million." Lu Jingyao made another offer.
At this number, 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. Please let me take it this time."
