Chapter 773 My Little Dragon is 1 and a half years old
When faced with Song Zhiyi's conversation, he seemed absent-minded and a little cold.
How could Song Zhiyi not notice such an obvious attitude? In addition, Gu Zheng kept looking towards Lingyao, so Song Zhiyi also looked in that direction.
At first glance, he saw He Lingyao sitting next to Shen Wenchang.
Song Zhiyi didn't know much about the affairs between He Lingyao and Gu Zheng. She just thought that it was because Gu Zheng usually paid more attention to gentlemanly etiquette that caused He Lingyao to have some misunderstandings.
But looking at Gu Zheng's performance at this time, it seems that the relationship between them is not as simple as she thought.
Song Zhiyi also fell silent. Cai Mingzhu next to her was chatting happily with Zhang Guolin, which was in stark contrast to the two of them.
Seeing this, Song Zhiyi felt like he was stabbed in the heart again.
Normally, Song Zhiyi is not the center of attention either outside or at home, but at least she is well pampered and admired.
This was a rare time when Gu Zheng treated him coldly, and it was hard for him to look better.
When the auction started, the items auctioned at first were all small gadgets, nothing special, and Lingyao would only raise her bid for some nourishing things like thousand-year-old ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, bird's nest, etc., which could improve Xiaolong's cultivation after being cultivated in red gold soil.
But she found that every time she raised her placard, Song Zhiyi, who was not far away, would also raise his placard and raise the price, and then Lingyao would follow suit, until the price was raised several times to an extremely high price, and then the other party would stop.
After one or two times, everyone noticed it.
Miss He Lingyao, who was able to sit in the first row without knowing where she came from, probably had a feud with Miss Song Zhiyi from the Song family.
Miss Song is obviously trying to raise the price for her.
Shen Wenchang, who was sitting next to Lingyao, also spoke.
"These things are useless to the Song family. They dug a hole for you, and you really jumped into it?"
Lingyao calmly raised the sign: "One thousand dollars."
After raising the sign, he replied to Shen Wenchang in a vague way: "The pit has been dug, but it is not certain who will fall into it."
Shen Wenchang raised his eyebrows, and his eyes, which had been lacking interest, showed some interest: "It seems that you have a backup plan, so I will wait and see?"
After saying that, he seemed to be still unsatisfied and added, "You really don't want to consider me? I won't let Gu Zheng know."
Lingyao: "I heard it, brother. I heard it, I heard it."
Shen Wenchang: ...
Gu Zheng, who was sitting next to Song Zhiyi, naturally noticed Song Zhiyi's targeting and frowned slightly.
"Why are you raising the price?"
Song Zhiyi was not to be outdone: "Why? Do you know that lady? Why didn't you introduce her to me? My father hasn't been in good health recently, so I just bought him some supplements to take back to nourish his body. You're overthinking it."
Gu Zheng glanced at Lingyao from a distance, but unfortunately Shen Wenchang was blocking his view and he couldn't see anything. In the end, Gu Zheng pursed his lips and said nothing.
Song Zhiyi looked at Gu Zheng with a sarcastic expression.
After the appetizers, the main event begins.
Most of the people who come to this auction are here for the treasures at the back. Even if not everyone can gain something, it’s good to broaden their horizons.
This time, what the slim woman brought out were no longer the little things from before.
This time, there was a small commotion as soon as the food was served.
It turned out to be a night-shining pearl.
The light emitted from the center of the sign illuminates an area of several meters around the pearl.
Most of the people seated there who were attracted by the night pearls were ladies.
If you take this night pearl and make some jewelry, even if you don't wear it often, it will still be very important to show off your wealth.
Plus the auctioneer's explanation of this night pearl:
"This is a well-preserved night-shining pearl in the deep sea. It can illuminate a few meters at night, but it won't be too bright in the daytime. The key is..."
"The key is that this night-light pearl has a top-grade beauty-nourishing charm and a mid-grade health-nourishing charm superimposed on it. Soak this pearl in water for a day and then drink the water. It will not only beautify your face but also keep your body healthy..."
After the auctioneer's explanation, the gentlemen who had been sitting still could no longer sit still. Normally, an ordinary health-care talisman is not cheap, and this is a mid-level quality one!
The eyes of the ladies who were already excited became even brighter and more passionate.
Everyone was anxiously waiting for the auctioneer to make an offer.
When the auctioneer called out the starting price of 6000 oceans, the people sitting in the back row gasped, while those sitting in the front middle row immediately followed suit.
"6500 dollars."
"7000 dollars."
"Ten thousand oceans."
When the third voice shouted, the guests who were about to raise their signs stopped.
Looking at Gu Zheng who was sitting in the first row and had just bid.
Since Gu Zheng was holding the sign, there was no need for them to follow.
After all, they probably couldn't compete in terms of money, and continuing to bargain would easily offend people. Some of them really wanted the item, so they gave up with regret after bargaining twice.
At this time, the price had reached a high of 16,000 yuan.
"Sixteen thousand dollars a time."
"Sixteen thousand dollars twice."
……
Just when everyone thought that the night pearl was going to fall into Gu Zheng's hands, a clear voice cut through the air and penetrated people's eardrums.
"Twenty thousand dollars."
Everyone looked towards the source of the sound in surprise.
Facing everyone's heated gazes, Lingyao seemed calm.
Gu Zheng clenched his hands.
Lingyao had been avoiding him for some time, but now she was sitting in the front row of the auction and spending so much money.
There is no way her uncle could give her so much money.
Either she has climbed up to a higher branch, or she is just trying to show off. This is probably her first time attending the auction.
Do you really think it's so easy to just quote a price? If you can't pay when the goods are delivered, you may not be able to leave the house.
Gu Zheng had a cold face and glanced at Chao Lingyao.
"Twenty-one thousand dollars."
Lingyao continued to raise her hand nonchalantly.
"Thirty thousand oceans."
There was a sudden gasp in the hall.
"Who is this girl? She actually challenged Young Master Gu. Is she too old to live?"
Many people are angry about the price, but no one dares to bid, because they know they may live to bid but not live to enjoy it.
In this war-torn era, guns are the only way out. It's easy for someone to secretly shoot you and take your belongings, and then frame you for any crime!
"I really don't know whether she is brave or ignorant."
"But this price is not too high. Young Marshal Gu will probably still go along with it. Otherwise, he will let others step on his face in front of him... After all, when Miss Song raised the price just now, she accepted all the money. She was very generous."
The people at the back were talking a lot, and they thought they were speaking quietly, but in fact the people at the front could hear them clearly.
Shen Wenchang chuckled, with a hint of joy in his eyes: "So this is where you set the trap. You are forcing our famous young marshal to swallow your loss."
After all, if I don't keep up, I will lose face.
This tactic is good for making a small investment with a big return.
