A wealthy family recognizes my relatives? But I am already a billionaire.

The Gu siblings had just made a big fool of themselves before the auction began, and Gu Fengchuan urgently wanted to do something to restore the Gu family's reputation.

This first auction item is obviously a stage to demonstrate the power of wealth.

The pink diamond necklace, which originally had a starting price of two million, had risen to three million after several rounds of not-so-enthusiastic bidding on the spot.

Gu Fengchuan didn't hesitate at all. He raised the sign and said, "Five million."

The auctioneer's eyes lit up when he heard this. The auction house had estimated the final price of this pink diamond necklace to be only four million, but now it has far exceeded expectations.

But what the auctioneer didn't expect was yet to come.

As Gu Fengchuan entered, Xu Youyou, who had been sitting in the first row without moving, suddenly raised her sign.

"Six million."

Gu Fengchuan immediately looked at Xu Youyou. He was still angry and felt that Xu Youyou was ungrateful.

Gu Xueying, on the side, was hoping that Xu Youyou and Gu Fengchuan would go against each other and that their relationship would get as bad as possible.

"Such a beautiful necklace, since sister likes it, why not give it to her? But can sister really afford so much money?" Gu Xueying said this deliberately.

Gu Fengchuan sneered after hearing this: "She is an orphan, it's a miracle that she managed to get in here. Where did she get so much money?"

Gu Fengchuan was certain that Xu Youyou was a poor guy, so he told the auctioneer a new price of "seven million" without blinking.

Xu Youyou really didn't like this pink diamond necklace, but if she had the chance to make things difficult for the Gu brothers and sisters, she would definitely not miss it.

"Eight million." After she said this, she turned around and looked at the Gu brothers and sisters, giving them a provocative look.

Gu Fengchuan was completely enraged: "Nine million!"

At this moment, the only sounds at the auction were the two of them bidding. After all, although this pink diamond necklace was very beautiful, it was already far overpriced.

Just when Gu Fengchuan was confident that he could definitely get it at this price, Xu Youyou said casually: "Ten million."

Gu Fengchuan frowned and stared at Xu Youyou in front of him, then raised his voice and said, "You bid a price but can't pay it. Not only do you have to pay the difference, but you also have to pay the deposit and even the commission. It's not a small amount when you add it up. Think it over before you bid. This is not a place for you to play house!"

Xu Youyou's voice was equally loud: "Why, it's only 10 million, and the Gu family has no money?"

Even though Gu Fengchuan knew that his adopted sister was using provocation, in such a situation, and because it concerned the reputation of the Gu family, he really had no choice but to continue bidding.

"Eleven million."

Xu Youyou didn't hesitate at all: "Twelve million."

The brother and sister bargained back and forth and soon raised the price of the pink diamond necklace to 15 million.

The auctioneer's face was beaming with joy at this moment. The higher the price, the more commission he could get from the auction.

"Sixteen million. If you can offer a higher price, I won't follow suit." Gu Fengchuan said with a cold face.

Xu Youyou felt that the premium was already high enough. Seeing that Gu Fengchuan didn't seem to be pretending when he said this, she rationally chose to stop.

Gu Fengchuan thought he could take off the necklace safely.

But unexpectedly, another accident happened.

"Seventeen million."

The person bidding was not Xu Youyou, but Lu Jingyao who was also sitting in the first row.

Lu Jingyao's sudden entrance also caused whispers to be heard at the auction site.

Gu Fengchuan sat in the second row, facing the gazes of the people around him. He was in a dilemma. If he continued to bid, he would look like a sucker. If he stopped bidding, would Lu Jingyao think that the Gu family had limited financial resources? He was afraid that it would affect the subsequent cooperation.

"Brother, this is a good opportunity. Has Mr. Lu noticed you?" Gu Xueying asked in a low voice.

Gu Xueying naturally didn't think that Lu Jingyao was raising the price randomly. She thought that Lu Jingyao was sending some kind of signal.

Gu Fengchuan had long been blinded by his love for Gu Xueying, and he easily believed what Gu Xueying said.

"Eighteen million." Gu Fengchuan bid again.

Lu Jingyao said calmly, "Nineteen million."

Gu Fengchuan gritted his teeth and said, "Twenty million!"

Lu Jingyao did not continue to bargain, nor did he look back at the Gu brothers and sisters, but looked at Xu Youyou again.

Xu Youyou felt strange in her heart. At a certain moment, she almost thought that Lu Jingyao did these things to help her.

She quickly threw this wild idea out of her mind. After all, they had only met once, and it had never come to this. She would not think that she had become the reincarnation of Daji just because her face turned pale.

"Twenty million once, twenty million twice, twenty million three times! Let's congratulate Mr. No. 15!"

As the auctioneer's hammer fell, the pink diamond necklace with a starting price of two million was finally sold to the unlucky Gu Fengchuan at ten times the price.

Gu Fengchuan successfully proved the financial strength of the Gu family, but he soon stopped laughing.

Because he heard someone sneer: "The Gu family is still rich. After all, ordinary prodigals wouldn't do such a thing."

Gu Fengchuan thought that he could have easily gotten it with four million, but because Xu Youyou raised the price recklessly, he had to spend so much more money. His disgust for this cheap sister increased even more.

Xu Youyou didn't care what Gu Fengchuan thought. A system task suddenly appeared in front of her.

[The task of picking up leaks has been opened, please seize the opportunity accurately. 】

The system's golden pointer now points directly to the auction table.

The bidding for the first item was very intense, but the bidding for the next two or three items was much more dull, and they were all sold after two or three rounds of bidding.

The auctioneer is now introducing the fifth item for auction, a yellow jade auspicious beast jade pendant, with a starting price of three million.

"According to expert appraisal, this should be a Ming Dynasty product. The Qilin is one of the auspicious animals in traditional Chinese culture, symbolizing good fortune, authority, and nobility. In ancient times, only high-ranking officials and nobles could wear this jade pendant..."

As the auctioneer introduced the jade pendant, people at the scene began to raise their hands to bid.

For antiques, their value comes from the number of similar antiques in existence on the one hand, and from their original owners on the other.

In the past, the more noble the owner of an antique, the higher its price would be.

There were rich people at the scene, so many people were interested in this jade pendant. It didn't take long for the price to be raised to eight million.

"Eight million for the first time, eight million for the second time..."

Xu Youyou raised her sign before the auctioneer's hammer fell: "Ten million."

Xu Youyou raised the price by two million in one go, just to kill the competition early.

But an accident happened. Gu Fengchuan, who was sitting in the back row, finally seized the opportunity to retaliate and raised his sign to bid: "Eleven million!"
