Chapter 313 - 9.3 Billion Is Enough

Qiao Xi's face instantly turned cold.

What did he mean? Was he saying that the money would be his in the future? Was he deliberately provoking Gu Zheng?

Qiao Xi was just about to speak when Gu Zheng said indifferently, "Mr. Lu, perhaps your thoughts are too limited."

Qiao Xi: "…"

She was so angry that she was about to faint. Gu Zheng had a vicious tongue. How could he be bullied?

Lu Yan's expression was calm as he directly increased the price to 8 billion. "It seems that President Gu is determined to win this island?"

Gu Zheng sneered and raised the placard again.

It was about to reach 10 billion. As expected.

Unexpectedly…

Gu Zheng said, "9.3 billion."

Everyone: "???"

What was going on? What was with the decimal point? This was not Gu Zheng's character at all!

Lu Yan's expression darkened.

Qiao Xi was slightly puzzled as well. She thought that Gu Zheng would directly raise it to 10 billion. What was up with this 9.3 billion?

However, when she saw Lu Yan's ugly expression, Qiao Xi knew that Gu Zheng had won.

It did not need to be raised to 10 billion. It only needed to be 9.3 billion.

Lu Yan suppressed the emotions in his heart and sighed helplessly. "President Gu, since you like this island so much, I won't compete anymore."

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. This battle had finally come to an end.

"It's not that you don't want to compete anymore." However, Gu Zheng suddenly said, "It's because you can't win."

Lu Yan could not win?

A trace of mockery flashed past Gu Zheng's eyes.

Lu Yan was not his match at all. This was the truth.

"You only have 9.2 billion yuan in assets, so 9.3 billion is enough for you to admit defeat."

Gu Zheng's expression was indifferent as he said slowly, "You still want to give her a gift?"

Lu Yan's expression was calm, but his eyes were filled with coldness.

Everyone could not help but sigh. "Lu Yan only has 9.2 billion yuan in assets, but President Gu…"

The person paused for a moment and continued, "9.3 billion is nothing to President Gu."

Indeed, it was nothing.

Looking at Gu Zheng's indifferent expression, they knew that this money was just a number to him.

Lu Yan suppressed the anger in his heart. He had taken out all his assets but they were not even half of Gu Zheng's.

This difference made Lu Yan feel powerless. His eyes were filled with gloom.

…

After Gu Zheng bought the island, Song Shiyu went to pay for it.

Song Shiyu suddenly said, "Our president has also paid for Miss Qiao's 100 million yuan. The president said that the name of the foundation should be 'Xi Zheng' or 'Gu Qiao'. We have to choose between these two names."

Everyone: "???"

Xi Zheng?

This was clearly a combination of Gu Zheng and Qiao Xi's names! So what was their relationship?

At this moment, Xue Liang happened to walk over. The few of them muttered softly, "Do you know Qiao Xi and Qin An's relationship?"

"I don't."

"I heard that after Qiao Xi was chased out of the family when she was young, she was adopted by the Qin family. She's known as Qin An's sister. Qin An and Xue Liang are brothers with different surnames, so it's reasonable for Xue Liang to treat Qin An's sister as his own."

Everyone was enlightened.

The person continued, "So President Gu and Qiao Xi are so close because of Qin An?"

The others echoed, "That's right! Qin An is Qiao Xi's elder brother, so he has always been protecting her. Xue Liang also takes good care of Qiao Xi and is her elder brother, so it must be the same with President Gu!"

…

After paying, Song Shiyu returned to the auction house. "President, it's done."

Gu Zheng nodded, took out his phone, and showed Qiao Xi a few photos of the island before introducing the surrounding scenery to her.

Suddenly, a few people walked over with obsequious expressions. "President Gu, I didn't know about your relationship with Miss Qiao before this. Please don't take offense."

Gu Zheng looked up, and the few of them said one after another, "Miss Qiao, we were confused by Yao Mengqing before this and misunderstood you. If we had known about your relationship with President Gu, we definitely wouldn't have thought too much about it."

Qiao Xi widened her eyes.

Oh no! Had their marriage been exposed?

Qiao Xi's heart turned cold when she saw their hypocritical expressions.
