When everyone was almost done, the auction started soon.
"Webao, why don't you eat more lately? It feels like you've lost a lot of weight!"
Xie Xun looked at Gu Mo, his eyebrows frowning unconsciously while he was talking and laughing.
Gu Mo stared at the auction items on display on the auction stage and answered Xie Xun's words distractedly.
"Maybe I automatically lost weight due to the recent filming?"
Xie Xun didn't know how to answer the casual sentence, so he raised his lips and smiled.
"Then when the auction is over, I'll treat you to something delicious?"
"All right."
Gu Mo's attention was on the stage, watching the host take out the auction items one by one.
Seeing her serious look, Xie Xun leaned back on the chair and smiled silently. The lighting engineer on the stage seemed to have deserted, and a slightly stronger light shone on the area where Gu Mo and Xie Xun were. Xie Xun raised his hand and put it down. The bright light from the side of Gu Mo's face shone on the back of his hand, making it difficult to keep his eyes open.
"What's going on? What's this light for? It's so bright!"
"Are you sick!? What are the organizers doing!?"
The bright lights were quickly turned off, staff from several venues rushed to explain, and the audience was no longer so restless.
However, from the beginning to the end, Gu Mo was completely unaware of the existence of the bright light and only focused on what was on the stage.
"The next item to be auctioned is a white jade bracelet! This bracelet is made of the finest golden silk jade. It is of top quality and is a rare piece of beautiful jade."
Gu Mo suddenly raised his head and stared at the things on the stage. The staff lifted the exhibition cabinet onto the table. The crystal clear jade bracelet shimmered under the light, instantly becoming the focus of the audience.
"Wow, I haven't seen such good jade in many years! I'm interested in this and I want to bid."
"Indeed, but good things in this kind of auction will basically go into the hands of a few people, so how can it be our turn?"
"How will you know if you don't try it? Let's bid first. What if the big guys are not interested in this thing?"
Although the upper class circles in City A are filled with famous families, all the famous families in the circle are also divided into three, six or nine grades. Among them, the four major families, Fang, Xie, Chen, and Bai, are completely superior to other upper-class families. Fang As the head of the four aristocratic families, his family is beyond the reach of all upper-class families.
"You see, the young master of the Xie family is here. I haven't seen him bidding on anything before. Maybe he is just waiting..."
Before she could finish her words, Xie Xun's well-jointed hands casually grabbed the sign on the table, lazily raised it towards the people on the stage, and said casually: "Ten million..."
The host repeated in surprise, "No. 3 bids 10 million!"
"Wow, it's different when the Xie family takes action. I think people from the four major families will fight for it!"
"Haha, it's only ten million, I can add more."
Bai Yue glanced at Xie Xun, picked up the number plate in her hand and shouted, "Fifteen million!"
Someone was competing with Xie Xun, which immediately attracted the attention of many people present. "Who is this? Why haven't I seen it before?"
"Look, the person sitting next to her is Bai Lin. She can't be the daughter of the Bai family who just came back from abroad, right?"
"Huh? Daughter? I heard..."
Before the gossip could finish speaking, his friend stopped him with his eyes, "It's better not to talk about the Bai family's affairs yet."
The two looked at the host on the stage, who held the microphone excitedly and said, "The bid for No. 4 is fifteen million! Does anyone want to continue bidding?"
At this question, everyone in the audience looked at the excitement. It would be better for people from the four major aristocratic families to bid for the bidding and for people from small families like them not to get involved. It would not be worth it if they offended any family.
"Twenty million."
Xie Xun still lazily held up the sign with his eyes closed. Gu Mo thought about the money in her hand with a little worry. No matter how much she had, she wouldn't be able to get it out!
Staring at Bai Yue nervously, he saw the other party cast a provocative look, and slowly raised the number plate under Gu Mo's gaze.
"thirty million!"
There was a sigh of relief all around, and people who had just been interested in the jade bracelet put down their hands in frustration. Although this jade bracelet is beautiful, it is only worth 30 million at most, but the auction will not stop at this price.
"Fifty million."
Xie Xun's tone was light, but it made Gu Mo nervous for a while. She closed the distance between them, covered Xie Xun's ear and whispered softly:
"Xie Xun, that's enough. I won't be able to take out any more."
The lights on the stage illuminated Xie Xun's side face, and he could see his lips curling up slightly, and then his smile widened.
He tilted his head to the side, with thousands of emotions in his eyes.
"Who said you need to pay?"
Gu Mo was stunned.
"Then, this..."
He chuckled, "I will give it to you!"
Because of the price, the audience was quiet. Everyone was waiting to see the show, and their eyes suddenly focused on Bai Yue.
Bai Yue was so angry that she was itching her teeth. She was holding the number plate in her hand and was about to raise it when she heard Bai Lin say casually next to her.
"You have just returned to China. If you don't want to be taught a lesson by your father, just keep it in check."
Bai Yue glanced at him unconvinced, "You!"
Bai Lin turned to look at the bracelet on the stage and said calmly, "It's just an ordinary bracelet. What are you arguing about?"
Bai Yue dug her nails into the number plate angrily, her eyes stern and filled with unhappiness.
Finally, I had no choice but to put down the number plate reluctantly.
"I just think this bracelet looks familiar. Now it seems like it's just an ordinary bracelet. It doesn't matter if I don't want it!"
Bai Yue put down the sign and leaned on the chair, feeling obvious unwillingness.
"Haha, it's really stupid to fight for such a bracelet!"
After Bai Yue finished speaking, Bai Lin next to him looked over with a look that looked like he was mentally retarded.
As time passed by, the host saw that no one in the audience seemed to be raising signs anymore.
"Is there anyone else who wants to increase the price!?"
"First time in fifty million!"
No one in the audience raised the sign, so Xie Xun put the sign down and leaned casually on the chair.
"Fifty million for the second time!"
Gu Mo looked around nervously, hoping that no one would offer a high price again. Although Xie Xun said so, she would definitely make up the money in the end.
The host on the stage shouted excitedly: "Fifty million, the first..."
"I'll give you 100 million."
The host's voice stopped suddenly. Everyone looked around and saw the man in a suit sitting in the last row of the leftmost area.
"This is……"
"Fang Zhixu!!!"
Everyone looked towards the last row. The moment Xie Xun saw the man, the smile on his face froze. Gu Mo was a little surprised and then returned to calm indifference.
"It's Mr. Xu, my God! This auction made a lot of money today. Three of the four major aristocratic families are here and bidding for the same thing at the same time. It's really strange!"
"Oh my God, after all these years, Zhixu is still so handsome! I really can't believe it!"
"Has Mr. Xu, who hasn't been seen for a long time, come out? But now I'm curious as to whose hands this jade bracelet will fall into."
The host called out respectfully on the stage, "Master Xu, you didn't even say a word to us when you came!"
Facing Fang Zhixu's cold eyes, he came back to his senses and said, "Ahem, once a hundred million times!"
Xie Xun grabbed the sign and was about to lift it, but then she felt her arms lift up and she looked at Gu Mo, who shook her head slightly.
"We can't add any more. This bracelet isn't worth so much money."
Xie Xun's knuckled hand covered Gu Mo's wrist, his eyes half joking and half serious.
"If you like it, it's worth so much."
She tried hard to lift Gu Mo's wrist with her fingers, but she only heard her say in a low voice, "Don't hold up the sign."
He slowly raised his head and met those calm but determined eyes, with some confusion in his eyes.
The eyes collided back and forth in the air, as if the people around him were automatically mosaic, and the raised hands were forced to put down.
Finally he sighed heavily.
"Forget it, just don't lift it if you say you don't want to."
Whatever you say is what it is.
Helpless but with a doting attitude that no one else could notice, he said, "This is the first time that I, the young master of the Xie family, can't compete with others!"
The host on the stage continued to shout:
"A hundred million times for the second time!"
"You really don't want it anymore?"
Xie Xun continued to ask.
Gu Mo shook his head, "I'll handle this matter. It's better to fall into Fang Zhixu's hands than to be left out without hearing anything."
"That makes sense. The worst we can do is sneak into the Xie family villa during a dark and windy night and then sneak out!"
He returned to his usual careless demeanor, which made Gu Mo laugh.
"The eldest young master of the Xie family wants to steal something too? He's not afraid of being laughed at if he says it!"
"Oh, I am a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve my goals! What's the point of stealing something!"
The two of them lowered their heads and whispered, seemingly no longer caring about the bracelet on the stage. From behind, they looked like a pair of close lovers talking about love.
"Look at the young master of the Xie family, I guess news of the Xie family's engagement will spread soon?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, before today I wouldn't believe you if you said that, but after today I believe it!"
"Looking at the state of the two of them, they must have been dating for a while. I'm so envious. That's Xie Xun! Who wouldn't love a handsome mixed-race guy?"
Several upper-class ladies sitting around Fang Zhixu were gossiping together. They thought it was very quiet, but then Fang Zhixu heard everything.
"One hundred million, deal!!"
The host hit the scene with a hammer, and the whole audience burst into excitement and clapped their hands in celebration.
"Master Xu, congratulations to you, this bracelet is beautiful and valuable."
"How can the thing that Mr. Xu likes be bad?"
Fang Zhixu sat in the midst of flattering voices, raising his head arrogantly, but staring at the two people in the first row.
Eyes burning.
The two people in the first row stood up and quickly left the auction site. Fang Zhixu then stood up and ordered Gao Cheng next to him.
"You must take the bracelet back."
"yes."
Fang Zhixu raised his feet and followed the direction in which the two people disappeared.
When we arrived at the backstage of the auction, we could hear the conversation from a distance.
"Master Xie, congratulations on our happy cooperation. I really didn't expect the cooperation on this project to be so smooth."
"That's right. Projects with Mr. Qin's presence will definitely lead to happy cooperation."
Fang Zhixu got closer and closer to the room door and walked slowly to the door.
He raised his eyes and looked into the room. The moment he saw Mr. Qin, there was a wry smile on his face.
"As expected, you betrayed me."
"Gu Mo."
