Chapter 1508 - The Wen Yan Couple (43)

“Yu’er is looking at us.” Wen Ruoshui saw Nangong Lengyu gesturing as though she was trying to tell them something. She was too far away to see clearly.

The auction had a rule that no communication devices could be brought in. When they entered the venue, the phones were handed to the staff to keep.

“Yu’er definitely wants us to buy the painting and not let that bastard Huo Ci succeed.” Dongfang Chu’s anger rose.

She had to bid for this painting.

Nangong Lengyu was extremely anxious. What was wrong with the two of them? Did they not understand her gaze and hand gestures? She had said not to make any bids!

Huo Ci even mocked her gloatingly. “Looks like you don’t have a good relationship with them!”

Nangong Lengyu glared at him ferociously. I’m begging you to shut up!

Huo Ci felt that it was boring and continued to smile arrogantly. “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely do what I promised you.”

Nangong Lengyu did not know what method he would use to stop Chu Chu and the others from bidding for the fake. However, the only person she could trust now was the unreliable person beside her.

Huo Ci turned to look at the powerful man sitting beside him and said firmly, “You’re the owner of the auction house, right? If this fake product is sold, you can forget about living in the capital.”

The man’s expression did not change, and his voice was cold. “What does Sixth Master want?”

Huo Ci knew that someone who could organize such an auction was definitely not an ordinary person. He was not surprised that he knew him. He lowered his voice and said, “Think of a way to tell them not to bid.”

The man did not reject her. His thin lips moved slightly as he replied, “Okay.”

Only then did Huo Ci’s lips curl up lazily. He played with the bidding card in his hand and winked at Nangong Lengyu with interest.

Nangong Lengyu glared at him. She did not know what he had said to that man, but it seemed like the two of them knew each other.

Huo Ci knew who was sitting beside him, but he only knew a name. He had seen him in his brother’s investigation.

The Chinese Security Bureau had only found his name. It was obvious that this person had hidden himself deeply and had an unimaginably powerful background.

Jun Shiyan, known as Third Master Jun, had suddenly appeared in China half a year ago. He had settled down in the capital and lived with the Gu Family. In half a year, his hands had reached into various fields in China.

Logically speaking, such a person would not be easily threatened. Was he afraid of him? It seemed like his reputation was really useful in China.

Wen Ruoshui and Dongfang Chu quickly received a letter. The small note Nangong Lengyu had written to them told them not to place bids. It was fake.

Huo Ci had also said that Huo Ci had asked the runner to tell them in Nangong Lengyu’s name that she wanted to teach Dongfang Xi a lesson.

When Dongfang Chu saw Nangong Lengyu, who was in the front row, nod vigorously at them, she finally believed her. She lowered her voice. “Shui Shui, what are we bidding for later?”

The painting could not be bought. It was a fake.

However, Yu’er did not know anything about antiques. How could she know that it was a fake?

What followed was an exciting show.

Huo Ci, Dongfang Chu, and Dongfang Xi had already raised the price to the point of losing their minds. The price of the painting had already reached 350 million.

Dongfang Xi was determined to get the painting. Whether she could change Grandpa’s mind depended on this. No matter what price she had to pay, she had to get the painting.

Her father had also said that she had to get the “Tiger Mountain Painting”. The value of famous paintings would definitely not depreciate. They would only appreciate in value. No matter how much money she spent, it would be worth it.

Huo Ci lazily raised his bidding card and said, “450 million.”

Dongfang Chu added unhurriedly, “600 million!”

Huo Ci smiled. “650 million.”

The crowd was going crazy. This price had long exceeded their expectations. They felt that 500 million was enough.

However, they had not expected it to soar to 650 million. They held their breaths nervously, wanting to see what the final auction price would be.

Dongfang Xi’s eyes had already turned red from the provocation. She only paid attention to Dongfang Chu and the others. When she saw that Wen Ruoshui was about to raise her bid, she made up her mind and went all out. She shouted as if she was showing off, “700 million!”

After that sentence.

The scene fell so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Nangong Lengyu turned her head and smiled in Dongfang Xi’s direction, giving her the middle finger.

Dongfang Xi’s heart skipped a beat. She looked at Dongfang Chu again. Dongfang Chu and Wen Ruoshui also smiled at her maliciously. She instantly sobered up.

D*mn it!

They were working together to plot against her!

The highest budget her father had given for this painting was 500 million, but she had actually spent 700 million to make herself not lose face. How was she going to explain this to her father when she got back?

“700 million thrice.” The host hit the hammer and smiled. “Congratulations, Miss. You have won Mr. Tang Yin’s ‘Tiger Mountain Painting’ for 700 million.”

Dongfang Xi’s face was ashen as she listened to the host’s voice. Her head was buzzing, and she was not happy at all. She only felt her blood boil, and her body felt like it was about to explode. She wished she could rush over and kill these people who dared to scheme against her!

“I didn’t expect Huo Ci to have some intelligence.” Dongfang Chu finally vented her anger. Dongfang Xi was so arrogant. 700 million? She wanted to see where she could get 700 million to buy a painting!

Wen Ruoshui did not know whether to laugh or cry. Why did Huo Ci say that? How could a person without intelligence be brothers with Brother Yan and the rest? They were closer than biological brothers!

However, she really had to thank him properly this time. Well done.

Dongfang Xi was already fuming. If she knew that the painting was a fake, she would vomit blood.

“Her money must have been given to her by Eldest Uncle.” Dongfang Chu did not need to guess to know that. “Eldest Uncle has really invested a lot in his assets. If Grandpa gets the painting, he will definitely be very happy. Grandpa will give him anything he wants.”

“Then we’ll expose him on Grandpa’s birthday.” Wen Ruoshui was not a saint.

Dongfang Xi had swaggered back to the capital. She must be secretly scheming to frame her again. She wanted to make the first move and prevent her from making a comeback.

Wen Ruoshui followed her gaze and looked over. It was the man Chu Chu had fallen in love with at first sight. She smiled and said, “Then after the auction ends, let Yu’er help you talk to him.”

In this huge capital, there was probably no one Huo Ci did not know. He had not earned his title as a little tyrant for nothing.

“That’s not what I meant.” Dongfang Chu’s face flushed red, and her voice became weaker. She no longer had her usual confidence.

Wen Ruoshui smiled and agreed. “I know. I want to know who he is. I’ll ask.”
