My love-brained brothers spoil me to the skies
Chapter 91 The show begins
As the banquet was about to begin, the four major families of Gu, He, Zhou and He had already arrived, and the guests began to take their seats one after another. The first thing they welcomed was the highlight of the banquet - the charity auction!
The host in a black suit stood on the stage and gave an enthusiastic opening speech: "Thank you very much for coming to this banquet. Thank you for the organizer, Gu's Group, and other enthusiastic people from all walks of life for their strong support for this charity auction! Well, let's not waste any more time, let's take a look at the first group of items!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a hostess in a Chinese-style dress came up elegantly carrying a display stand.
"Okay, the lot we are looking at now is a white marble statue of Guanyin donated by the Zhang couple. It is in perfect condition, with kind eyes and gentle jade. It is rare. Next, we invite everyone to participate actively and contribute to this charity. The price is one million!"
Nangong Jin listened carefully, his eyes glanced towards the Zhou and He families imperceptibly.
Gu Jingxing gently held her hand, "Do you like it?"
"Ok?"
Nangong Jin looked at him puzzledly, then shook his head, "I think it would be better to leave these things to people who understand their value!"
Gu Jingxing raised his eyebrows, "I like it very much. Please ask the Goddess of Childbirth to bless us to have more children!"
Ignoring Nangong Jin’s shocked look, he raised his hand and called out a price.
"200 million!"
The host immediately shouted excitedly: "Mr. Gu bids two million, is there anyone else who wants to raise the price?"
None of the guests around continued to raise the price. After all, they had to know when to advance and when to retreat. The Gu family was the host today!
Just when the host was about to make the final decision, a cold voice rang out in the gorgeous banquet!
"five million!"
Everyone was shocked and couldn't help but look at the owner of the voice curiously. Who was so bold as to not give face to Gu Jingxing!
He Zichen curled his lips slightly and drank as if nothing had happened. He Mingyuan, who was sitting next to him, had a sullen face and moved closer to him.
"Zi Chen, don't go against the Gu family. It's useless for you to buy this thing. Do you hear me?"
He Zichen glanced at his good second uncle and sneered, "That's not necessarily true. I think it suits me very well. May it bless me with many children and good fortune!"
"you…!"
"Uncle, have you forgotten the pain after your wound healed?"
When He Mingyuan heard his straightforward threat, his face instantly became terribly gloomy. He snorted coldly and did not continue to stop him. Just you wait, you little brat!
The host was also a little embarrassed and continued: "Mr. He bid five, five million, is there anyone who wants to raise the price?"
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Why was today different from the past? Normally, everyone would leave the first item to the owner, but now here came someone who didn't know what was good for him!
Gu Jingxing smiled and stared at Nangong Jin's tightly pursed lips, "Six million!"
As the words fell, everyone looked at He Zichen. After all, the price was far beyond the value of the item!
He Zichen shook the wine glass, but his deep eyes looked towards Nangong Jin. Nangong Jin seemed to sense something and looked back.
The two people looked at each other and then looked away in an instant. Nangong Jin's eyes were full of warning and unhappiness. He Zichen suddenly smiled, "Forget it, a gentleman does not take away what others like. My future wife does not like this Guanyin!"
His words were like thunderclaps from a clear sky, and everyone started to speculate: "Where did He Zichen get his wife? He has never been in a relationship!"
"That's right! There's not even a woman around!"
"Could he be talking about He Wenna? Oh my god, she's so cute!"
After hearing this, He's father also felt that he was referring to his daughter, and his face was full of smiles, which made He Wenna frown.
"Dad, why do you laugh so scary?"
"No, no, Dad is in a good mood, hahaha..."
He Wenna couldn't help but hold her cheek and rolled her eyes.
Gu Jingxing just smiled slightly and held Nangong Jinlou in his arms, "Tell me if there are any items you like, and I'll buy them for you!"
Nangong Jin forced a perfunctory smile. She didn't need to look back to know that He Zichen was looking at them, because it was hard not to notice that overly passionate gaze.
The host finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Then this white jade Guanyin belongs to Mr. Gu! I wish you and your fiancée a happy and harmonious life, and may you have a baby soon!"
Gu Jingxing picked up the wine glass, smiled and said to the host: "Thank you for your good words!"
As he said that, he raised his head and drank the red wine in one gulp, then he leaned over and kissed Nangong Jin on the face unexpectedly.
Now, besides He Zichen’s sinister look, there was also Zhou Ziqian’s extremely forbearing one.
The other ladies and noblewomen were screaming with joy and enjoying the show with great relish, while the male guests thought that Gu Jingxing's behavior was reasonable. To them, women were just accessories and something to show off.
"Gu Jingxing, if you mess around again, I will cancel the engagement immediately!" Nangong Jin glared at him with displeasure on his face.
"Is it okay that I was wrong? I was drunk!"
Gu Jingxing admitted his mistake so quickly that it was beyond Nangong Jin's imagination. Who knows what's wrong with this man today!
The host cleared his throat to calm the noisy scene, and then...
There was nothing special about the other items, but everyone's enthusiasm for participation did not diminish until the last item donated by the four major families, which was the climax of the banquet.
Everyone looked towards the stage expectantly. This was an important opportunity to show goodwill to the four major families, and everyone was eager to give it a try.
"Okay, distinguished guests, we have finally arrived at the most exciting moment. The first set is the famous paintings from the European Renaissance donated by the Zhou family! I believe you have heard that this painting was once sold at a high price of 30 million! Then please bid actively! The lowest price is 20 million!"
This price is just normal for a family of four, but a bit out of budget for others!
Everyone was discussing in whispers, weighing the pros and cons in their minds.
The scene was a bit awkward for a while, but Zhou Ziqian didn't show much expression and just drank by himself.
He Zichen glanced at him with his eyes lowered, not knowing what he was thinking. Nangong Jin was a little worried about Zhou Ziqian, but 20 million was an astronomical figure for her!
She secretly glanced at He Zichen, only to see him just raising the card in his hand and looking at her with a half-smile.
Nangong Jin lowered her head and thought: Card? What does that mean? She suddenly remembered that last time at the Paradise Club, He Zichen gave her the card with all his assets in it! Does that mean he has no money and wants her to help his elder brother?
Nangong Jin was at a loss for a moment, and Gu Jingxing whispered in her ear: "Why? Do you like it?"
Nangong Jin did not answer him, but just looked at the painting on the stage and then looked at Zhou Ziqian!
She raised her hand timidly, "Twenty, twenty million!"
The host looked at Nangong Jin in surprise. After all, in such occasions, the male host had the final say and few women would directly participate.
