Chapter 134 You are mine
Gu Yuji glanced at the shouting He Zhiting impatiently, while Gu Xueying took two steps back like a frightened little white rabbit, poked her head out from behind Gu Yuji, and kept looking at the group of people.
He Zhilan restrained his expression, revealed a very official smile, and said, "Gu family? Is it the Gu family in Shanghai?"
Gu Yuji nodded nonchalantly, and there was no warmth in her eyes when she looked at He Zhilan.
It doesn't feel like looking at a person in conflict, but more like looking at an irrelevant dead object.
He Zhilan didn't care about his attitude. He kept smiling and said, "Then please give my regards to Mr. Gu Sen."
A hint of confusion flashed across Gu Yuji's eyes, and only after a moment did he realize that Gu Sen was the head of another Gu family in Shanghai. The assets of the other Gu family were even higher than theirs, and everyone also recognized them as the Gu family of Shanghai.
After a brief thought, Gu Yuji realized that He Zhilan was clearly trying to embarrass him, and said with a little annoyance: "We are another Gu family. Anyone with eyes should not admit their mistakes."
He Zhilan smiled and said, "So you can get angry too. If you didn't know, you might think there were cameras around you so you could film idol dramas anytime, anywhere. Or maybe it's not your eyes that are wrong, but your brains. You think you're so popular that everyone likes you."
The Gu siblings looked unhappy.
Bullying a waiter is one thing, but bullying the daughter of a woman of equal status is another.
He Zhilan said directly in a cold voice: "Apologize to my sister for your rudeness."
Gu Yuji frowned: "Do you have to make this so embarrassing? Our Gu family is not a shameless family."
He Zhilan chuckled and said, "Whether you want to apologize or not is entirely up to you. Whether your Gu family wants to participate in activities in the circle in the future is also up to you."
Gu Yuji frowned and looked at He Zhilan: "Can you speak on behalf of the He family?"
When He Zhilan heard this, his smile widened and he said, "Of course."
No matter how the four great antique families fight in private, at least they are united on the surface. The He family's words not only mean that the Gu family will not be able to participate in the Lin family's small exchange meetings in the future, but also exclude the Gu family from other family exchange activities.
Gu Xueying felt bad and quickly said to He Zhiting, "Sister, it's my fault. I misunderstood you as someone who clings to the rich and powerful."
Gu Yuji grabbed her sister and said, "Why apologize? You can represent the Gu family, but she may not represent the He family."
Gu Xueying, however, showed forbearance on her face, and shook her head with tears in her eyes: "Brother, what does it matter if I suffer a little for the sake of the Gu family?"
He Yuji was very firm and said, "The Gu family doesn't need to be so subservient."
Even though he said that, Gu Xueying shook her head and said to He Zhilan and his sister, "I misunderstood earlier. A waiter threw herself at my third brother yesterday, so I can't help but be paranoid today. This incident is all my fault. I hope you won't take it out on the Gu family."
Seeing Gu Xueying's compromise, He Zhilan really didn't care about it anymore. He looked at Gu Xueying coldly and said nothing more.
However, He Zhilan instinctively disliked Gu Xueying. From the previous few words, it could be seen that the Gu family had offended Xu Youyou.
He Zhilan knew very well that anyone who was favored by the Qilin Jade Pendant would be able to do everything smoothly, and anyone who went against her would also have bad luck.
The Gu family has already offended Xu Youyou. I'm afraid that in three years, the Gu family may not even exist.
After Xu Youyou and her group left, Gu Yuji suddenly said, "You still look down on me."
Gu Xueying's heart skipped a beat. She turned around with a pleading look in her eyes: "Third brother, you misunderstood me. I did this all for the Gu family..."
She understood better than anyone that the Gu family was her foundation, and only if the Gu family was doing well could she have a better future.
The present Gu family still looks prosperous, but Gu Xueying has already seen the crisis hidden under the surface. However, the Gu family members who are in the situation are still living in peace and prosperity.
How could she not be anxious?
Gu Yuji chuckled: "You have the ability to provoke the He family, but you don't have the ability to stick to it. You always kneel so quickly."
When Gu Xueying heard this, her head felt buzzing.
Gu Xueying always felt that Gu Yuji was mean to others, but different to herself. But now when the other party faced her with this poisonous mouth, she realized that she didn't want to endure it.
"Kneel down if you want. I know what kind of person you are. You are vain, hypocritical, and petty." Gu Yuji easily said something that would crush Gu Xueying.
Gu Xueying's face was pale, her lips were trembling, and she couldn't utter a word for a long time. Although the sky was clear, she felt as if she was isolated in a dark corner. Countless past events that she didn't want to recall appeared before her at this moment.
Gu Yuji seemed to be waiting for her to collapse in despair.
The more desperate she was, the happier Gu Yuji smiled, and he even took the initiative to reach out and touch her hair intimately.
"But none of this matters. What matters is that you are mine."
Gu Xueying's heart was pounding. Even though she knew that the man in front of her was her brother, some feelings that shouldn't have arisen still inevitably grew wildly.
Accompanied by He Zhilan, Xu Youyou saw the phoenix crown once worn by the empress of the Ming Dynasty.
She looked at the beautiful phoenix crown, which, even after a long time, still allowed future generations to glimpse a corner of its former splendor, and suddenly she understood.
"The concubines in the harem are not fighting for men. Anyone who sees these beautiful jewelry will want to own them." Xu Youyou sighed.
He Zhilan smiled and said, "In the ancient palace, there was a strict hierarchy, and there were strict distinctions between what kind of jewelry concubines of different ranks could wear. Everyone loves beauty, so from this perspective, it's really hard to say what the real reason for their palace fighting is."
Lu Jingyao on the side did not say anything, but just looked at the phoenix crown with a thoughtful look.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for the auction.
Although Lu Jingyao had participated in two small exchange meetings, his understanding of exchange meetings was still not as good as that of the more experienced He Zhilan.
As soon as Lin Yashu stepped onto the stage, He Zhilan said, "According to the Lin family's custom, the first auction item should be provided by them, and it will most likely be porcelain."
As soon as he finished speaking, a pattern of a blue and white porcelain vase suddenly appeared on the curtain behind Lin Yashu on the stage.
"The first auction item comes from the Lin family. It's a large blue and white jar with a peony pattern from the Yuan Dynasty. The starting price is 10 million." Lin Yashu said with a smile.
This large jar with peony pattern was carefully carried up by two young men from the Lin family and placed directly among the bidders.
This look of allowing people to look at it also shows the Lin family's extraordinary confidence in their collection.
There were also people who knew the business at the scene, and they immediately shouted out the price: "Eleven million!"
