"Lu, this is the first time I see you with a female companion."

The sudden voice interrupted the awkward atmosphere between Lu Jingyao and Xu Youyou.

Xu Youyou took a look at the person who came. It was a young man with black curly hair. He was wearing a burgundy shirt with the buttons at the collar undone.

The deep blue eyes were like an ocean, making everyone who looked at them almost drown.

Lu Jingyao approached Xu Youyou calmly and said with a smile, "This is my girlfriend, Ms. Xu, and this is Mr. Anthony."

Xu Youyou nodded at him.

Anthony, who was born with a pair of charming eyes, looked back and forth between the two and deliberately asked, "Lu, won't you dance with this beautiful lady?"

Before Lu Jingyao could say anything, Xu Youyou said bluntly: "I can't dance."

Anthony said with a hint of complaint, "Lu, this is your fault. Dancing with a beautiful woman is the happiest thing in life. How could you bear to let her down?"

The corner of Lu Jingyao's mouth twitched. For Chinese people, there is no such thing as a dance culture, so they don't have any romantic thoughts about men and women dancing together.

Xu Youyou didn't want to force herself into someone else's culture, so she held up her wine glass and said, "Compared to dancing, I prefer appreciating the art here."

Anthony raised his eyebrows: "Ms. Xu seems to know a lot about art?"

Xu Youyou said casually: "I am just engaged in a related industry, I can't be considered an expert."

There were also many artworks on display in the banquet hall, and the expensive ones were all covered with glass covers. This was something Frank did on purpose to show off his financial resources.

At this time, there were many people dancing in the dance floor, and there were also many people gathered around to appreciate the artwork. It was not far-fetched to say this by Xu Youyou.

Anthony made a gesture of "please" and said, "Frank bought a piece of blue and white porcelain from your country's Yuan Dynasty at Sotheby's last month. It cost him tens of millions. Miss Xu, you are in for a treat this time."

Xu Youyou glanced at the system's instructions in the void. Until now, they were still flashing, which meant that her chance to pick up a bargain had not yet appeared.

After hearing what Anthony said, she also wanted to see the beauty of Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain.

Lu Jingyao watched Anthony being so attentive to Xu Youyou, secretly suppressed his unhappiness, and silently protected Xu Youyou.

Frank was a man who loved to show off, and since he had just acquired the collection, it was at its freshest, and now it was displayed in the middle of the banquet hall.

Through a layer of glass, Xu Youyou saw a large blue and white jar about 30cm high.

She took another closer look and saw that it was a large blue and white jar with human figures on it.

"The picture of Guiguzi going down the mountain." Xu Youyou said.

Lu Jingyao looked at her in surprise, as if he didn't expect Xu Youyou to be able to see the trick on the spot.

But when Anthony heard these words, a look of confusion appeared on his handsome face: "Miss Xu, what did you say?"

Xu Youyou realized that what she had just blurted out was in Chinese. She explained it again in English, but the name "Guiguzi" was naturally very unfamiliar to foreigners.

"Guiguzi was a remarkable man who lived over two thousand years ago. He was knowledgeable, wise, and well-versed in the art of strategy."

Hearing this explanation, Anthony's face showed envy and jealousy: "The history of your country is like a thick book. It seems that there are many great figures in it when you open it."

Xu Youyou straightened her back slightly and said proudly, "There were many people like him in his era. He wasn't the brightest star of that era."

Anthony asked again, "I saw Miss Xu frowning just now. Is there something wrong with this large blue and white porcelain?"

Xu Youyou was amazed at the magic of the system. Although it only rewarded her with basic porcelain identification skills, she discovered the flaws of the porcelain in such a short period of time.

Xu Youyou didn't guard against Anthony and said directly: "Frank may have been cheated by the auction house."

Lu Jingyao suddenly pushed her arm gently.

Xu Youyou turned around and looked at him in surprise.

Lu Jingyao leaned close to Xu Youyou's ear and lowered his voice, saying, "The auction house is treacherous. Frank might not be unaware of the authenticity of this item. Even if he was deceived by the auction house, he probably wouldn't be happy to be exposed by you in public."

Anthony didn't understand Chinese, so he just raised his voice slightly and asked, "Ms. Xu, do you think this porcelain vase is fake?"

There were already many guests gathered around to appreciate the art. When they heard this, they all turned their eyes to Xu Youyou.

Xu Youyou's mind worked quite quickly: "Anthony, you heard wrongly. What I meant was that Mr. Frank's generosity this time is admirable."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Anthony's eyes.

He wanted to guide Xu Youyou to say more, but Xu Youyou was already on guard against him and stopped talking easily.

Lu Jingyao made up an excuse and pulled Xu Youyou and Anthony apart. When they were in a corner where there was no one around, Xu Youyou grabbed his arm.

"Did Anthony do it on purpose?" Xu Youyou asked.

Lu Jingyao's gaze fell on the hand that Xu Youyou was holding his arm.

Xu Youyou immediately retracted her hand.

"Anthony is a playboy on the surface, but he is very good at setting traps for people and can find out a lot of information inadvertently." Lu Jingyao explained.

Xu Youyou frowned. "Don't they say these foreigners are stupid and rich? Why are they all so cunning?"

Lu Jingyao said casually: "Anthony is Jewish."

Xu Youyou immediately understood. Jews are known for their intelligence and cunning, so it's no wonder they are so difficult to deal with.

Lu Jingyao suddenly turned around and pressed Xu Youyou against the wall, pretending to do a wall-dong.

Xu Youyou frowned, and her first reaction was to push the person away, but Lu Jingyao narrowed his eyes slightly, and her movements were a beat slower.

About half a minute later, Lu Jingyao finally stood up.

Xu Youyou didn't feel the pink bubbles, but said with a cold face: "Explain."

"Shirelle just came over." Lu Jingyao pointed to the glass window on the side of the wall.

From Lu Jingyao's perspective, he could see the people behind him through the reflection of the glass window.

Even though Xu Youyou knew this was all part of a play, she was still unhappy: "Next time before you do something that might cause misunderstanding, remember to give me a heads up beforehand, Mr. Lu. Otherwise, I won't be polite to you."

Lu Jingyao: ...

He looked at Xu Youyou's fierce expression and her moving right leg, frowned and asked, "Are you planning to kick me?"

Xu Youyou didn't answer, but gave him an ambiguous look.

Lu Jingyao wanted to say something else, but Xu Youyou's eyes suddenly lit up, and then she ran towards the door, completely ignoring the fact that she was wearing ten-centimeter high heels.
