Chapter 567: Buying It At A High Price
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Since Gu Rou wanted to snatch it from her, she would be merciful and give in.
Gu Rou turned around and smiled at Gu Man. She looked innocent and harmless, but when she turned around, she sneered. She made a very small commotion and almost no one heard her.
The woman standing on the stage clearly did not expect someone to snatch such an item. Her face was slightly flushed and she looked much more excited. “Number 12, 800,000 yuan. Anyone else?” The woman on the stage knocked the hammer in her hand. Although she was asking, she was looking in Gu Man’s direction.
The others had no intention of participating in the auction. They all stared at their seats with interest.
After all, the Gu family was still shouting at Gu Man just now. Why was the Gu family fighting with Gu Man again?
Gu Man ignored the gazes of others. As long as Gu Rou increased the price, she would raise the sign in her hand without hesitation.
Huang Yue was anxious as she watched from the side. Gu Man did not care about the money because it was not hers. Just because Old Master Cui doted on her, such a lousy stone could sell for such a sky-high price.
However, Old Master Cui looked like he was indifferent and had no intention of stopping Gu Man. The jealousy in Huang Yue’s heart reached its peak again.
She clenched her fists tightly and endured the unwillingness in her heart. She looked at Gu Man beside her and had an urge to ruin her reputation now.
However, Huang Yue knew that she had to endure it.
The auction reached its climax again. Gu Rou and Gu Man kept competing and had already pushed the price of the raw stone to 4.5 million.
Just as Gu Rou was about to attack again, Gu Yuan grabbed her arm. “Rou’er, I think she thinks that you’re fighting with her, so she’s deliberately being serious. Don’t be stupid and increase the price. She doesn’t accept your kindness at all.”
Gu Rou looked aggrieved. “1 thought Sister could understand my thoughts. I didn’t expect…”
She did not finish her sentence. Instead, she deliberately gave Gu Yuan space to overthink.
Sure enough, Gu Yuan patted the back of the chair heavily in the next second. “She’s such a heartless thing. I’ll definitely teach her a lesson when she comes back.”
Gu Ron’s expression was originally filled with joy because of the first sentence, but Gu Yuan’s words made her expression stiffen. She lowered her eyes to hide the dark expression in them.
She did not take Gu Yuan’s words to heart and continued to raise the sign in her hand to 5 million.
At this moment, the woman on the stage was already numb. When Gu Rou raised the sign, she subconsciously looked at Gu Man.
However, Gu Man, who had been following, did not raise the sign in her hand immediately. Even after the three hammers landed, Gu Man did not raise the sign in her hand.
Looking at the hammer that the woman on the stage was holding, Gu Rou turned to look at Gu Man in shock. She could not believe that she would stop at such a critical moment.
At this moment, Gu Yuan’s expression also became extremely bad. He could buy better jade for 5 million, not this worthless jade.
Even if Gu Rou did not look at Gu Yuan, she could feel his dark expression. She swallowed her saliva and felt that this scene was familiar.
She had been tricked again.
Gu Man stared at Gu Rou with a faint smile, her gaze infuriating.
However, Gu Rou bit her lower lip and glared at Gu Man indignantly. But the most important thing now was to explain to Gu Yuan.
“Dad, it’s Sister. She did it on purpose.” Gu Rou panicked and wanted to defend herself, but Gu Yuan’s expression was still very bad.
The next item was quickly displayed, but the matter did not pass. Because Gu Rou bought the raw stone at a high price, the Gu family did not have enough funds. They did not get the jade they wanted at all. Gu Yuan had not been nice to Gu Rou since then.
Later on, Gu Man’s sudden decision not to continue the auction surprised everyone.
Huang Yue, who had been watching the show and waiting for Gu Man to make a fool of herself, frowned. She forgot that Old Master Cui was beside her and subconsciously asked, “Why did you suddenly stop bidding? You are doing it on purpose. From the beginning, it was to let Gu Rou bid for it at a high price..”
