A wealthy family recognizes my relatives? But I am already a billionaire.
Chapter 19: Battle for the Doucai Cup
Xu Youyou turned around to look at Gu Fengchuan, and soon received a provocative look from him.
Xu Youyou did not bid immediately, but waited for a while.
"Eleven million once, eleven million twice..."
Following the auctioneer's words, Gu Fengchuan became anxious. After all, buying this topaz pendant was not what he expected. Although the Gu family was not short of money, it was obviously a loss to buy it at such a premium.
Fortunately, before the auctioneer's hammer fell, Xu Youyou raised her paddle again.
But this time Xu Youyou's movements were a little more hesitant: "Twelve million."
After receiving the bid, the auctioneer immediately set his eyes on Gu Fengchuan, as if he couldn't wait for Gu Fengchuan to quote another high price.
But Gu Fengchuan just wanted to make Xu Youyou spend more money, and he didn't really want to snatch the things from her. Xu Youyou was already so hesitant now, and Gu Fengchuan was afraid that she would no longer bargain.
"Twelve million once, twelve million twice, twelve million three times, let us congratulate bidder No. 0!" the auctioneer said loudly.
Xu Youyou breathed a sigh of relief when the dust settled. She actually didn't know what the jade pendant was used for, but since the system wanted her to buy it, it must be very useful.
Lu Jingyao on the side did not bid for several times in a row and just watched quietly. Xu Youyou couldn't help but feel curious about why the other party came.
Is it for her Doucai Cup?
She thought that Lu Jingyao's face looked particularly wealthy, and he would definitely fetch a high price.
Gu Xueying, sitting in the back row, kept her eyes on Xu Youyou and Lu Jingyao. Her heart skipped a beat, wondering if Xu Youyou was also interested in Mr. Lu? Was it not enough that she had snatched the wealthy family from her, but Xu Youyou also wanted to steal her favorite person?
"This jade bracelet is quite beautiful. Do you want it, sister?" Gu Fengchuan suddenly asked, pointing at the latest auction item.
Coincidentally, at this moment, Gu Xueying saw Xu Youyou leaning forward slightly, as if she wanted to see the jade bracelet clearly, and mistakenly thought that Xu Youyou was also interested in the bracelet.
"This bracelet is so beautiful, I like it too. But brother, you have already bought me a pink diamond necklace. Otherwise, you can buy this jade bracelet and give it to Sister Youyou. She seems to like it very much." Gu Xueying said.
Gu Fengchuan frowned, "Didn't she just bid for a jade pendant? She doesn't seem to be very interested in our Gu family, so why bother trying to cause trouble? On the contrary, your wrist is empty today, and you need this pair of jade bracelets."
The jade bracelet is green all over and has excellent water content. Many people present were attracted by it. After several rounds of bidding, the price has reached 10 million.
"Eleven million." Gu Fengchuan raised the sign.
The auctioneer's eyes lit up when he saw him. As long as Gu Fengchuan made a move, the price could be raised at least two more times.
Sure enough, Xu Youyou also followed suit and bid: "Twelve million."
Xu Youyou turned around and glanced at Gu Fengchuan, as if to say that she was determined to win this auction item.
Gu Fengchuan hesitated for a moment, because after the previous two auctions, he was not sure whether Xu Youyou was deliberately raising the price or really wanted it.
But seeing that Xu Youyou's unlucky mentality prevailed, he still raised the sign: "Thirteen million."
Xu Youyou said without hesitation: "Fourteen million."
Gu Fengchuan also raised his sign: "Fifteen million."
But this time, Xu Youyou didn't follow, after all, she didn't really want the pair of jade bracelets.
As the auctioneer's hammer fell, Gu Fengchuan couldn't help but grit his teeth. He knew that he had been tricked by Xu Youyou again.
"Sis, since you don't particularly want it, why do you have to raise the price? Is it just to make you, big brother, spend money in vain?" Gu Xueying pretended to be worried.
Gu Fengchuan already hated Xu Youyou to the core and said viciously, "She has bad intentions! I will tell my parents everything she did today!"
Gu Xueying raised the corners of her mouth. She hoped that Xu Youyou would do more annoying things so that she would never have to return to the Gu family.
The auction items were sold one after another. Xu Youyou did not continue to bid high prices, but participated in the auction purely as a spectator.
Soon, it was the last item for auction, which was the Doucai cup provided by Xu Youyou.
"This is a Doucai Cockscomb Cup produced during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty. It was a favorite of Emperor Chenghua. I believe most of the bidders here have heard of its reputation. After being appraised by our experts..." The auctioneer introduced the auction item fluently.
Many people at the scene were watching the high-definition video on the big screen and the Doucai cup next to the auctioneer that seemed to be shimmering with historical light and shadow.
"Two hundred and fifty million."
The starting price of the Doucai cup was 200 million, but Lu Jingyao raised the price by a quarter with just one move.
The scene suddenly erupted in whispers. Xu Youyou could even clearly hear someone on the chair behind her say, "Mr. Lu seems determined to get this Doucai Cup. Why don't we just stop competing with him?"
But more people wanted to take possession of this auction item.
"Two hundred and sixty million."
"Two hundred and seventy million."
"Three hundred million."
Soon, the price of this Doucai cup exceeded the previous auction price.
Xu Youyou watched the quote rise nervously.
Lu Jingyao keenly noticed her abnormality and gave a look to Assistant Liu beside him.
Assistant Liu came close to Xu Youyou and whispered, "I haven't seen Miss Xu make a move yet. You don't seem interested in this auction item?"
Xu Youyou was thinking that she shouldn't be too interested, after all, the higher the price, the more money she would get.
"My family is poor and I can't afford it." Xu Youyou said casually.
Assistant Liu couldn't help laughing, and even Lu Jingyao's mouth corners turned up slightly.
"Ms. Xu, you're joking, but to be honest, most of the people here are here for this Doucai cup," said Assistant Liu.
Xu Youyou was excited. The Doucai Cup seemed to be doing better than she had expected. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Then I hope your boss can win this auction item. I won't compete with him."
"Three hundred and twenty million."
Xu Youyou was naturally very familiar with the voice that suddenly made the offer. It was her cheap elder brother.
Gu Fengchuan felt a little regretful that Xu Youyou didn't look back after he quoted the price. He thought that if she knew how rich the Gu family was, she would definitely regret his neglectful attitude.
But Gu Fengchuan’s glory didn’t last long. Lu Jingyao, who was standing beside Xu Youyou, raised his sign without changing his expression: “Four hundred million.”
He raised the bid price by 80 million in one breath, and the auction hall was silent for half a minute.
The auctioneer kept delaying, and finally had no choice but to speak: "Four hundred million per time..."
"Four hundred and twenty million!"
The person who raised the bid again was Gu Fengchuan. This time, in order to bid for the Doucai Cup, his father gave him a reserve price of 500 million before he left. The Gu family had a great use for the Doucai Cup.
