Chapter 99
Protecting Weaknesses
Mr. Sun and Mr. Wen in the box were still focused on dissing each other, as if they didn't think anything of Gu Shiyan's money-burning behavior.
Gu Shiyan's expression remained normal, and he was about to raise his hand to press the button again to increase the price, but his hand was suddenly grabbed by someone, preventing him from pressing the button.
When he lowered his head, he saw a slender, white hand holding him.
He raised his eyes and looked at Lu Miao, "What's wrong?"
For some reason, Lu Miao was stunned and saw a hint of grievance in Master Gu's deep eyes that he was not allowed to spend money to buy things.
He then said, "I already have a bracelet. I don't like the jade bracelet. I like this one better."
His white jade-like fingertips clicked on the item list beside him.
Gu Shiyan looked at the silver-white bracelet on Lu Miao's wrist. He couldn't see what material it was made of, but Lu Miao seemed to treasure it and kept wearing it.
Looking under her fingertips again, there was a white double-butterfly jade pendant.
Not as good as the jade bracelet, but not bad either.
Nod, "Okay."
"Stop lighting sky lanterns."
"good."
Wen Lao and Sun Lao, who were looking at each other with bad words, said, "..."
Can you please let the old man go?
I want to kick this pot of dog food over!
The host downstairs shouted three times and dropped the wooden hammer in his hand for 200 million.
At the same time, there was a sudden sound of smashing vases and teacups from Box 9, which was not far away from them.
The corners of Lu Miao's lips rose imperceptibly.
Once the highest price of 200 million was announced, the subsequent auctions became dull.
In fact, the price of 200 million is far higher than the value of the jade bracelet, but it is the person who was cheated, so it is worth it.
The auction will end soon.
Some auction house staff personally delivered the items they had taken.
Gu Shiyan directly took out a black card and paid.
The pair of butterfly jade pendants only cost a few million. Gu Shiyan was very dissatisfied with the price and seemed to want to take pictures of all the jade items in the market.
Lu Miao had no choice but to point at a few ugly and inconspicuous jadeite stones before he took the picture.
Not many people understand this kind of thing, most of them are just gambling.
It is common for someone to spend tens of millions of their wealth to buy a piece of rubble.
Lu Miao wanted it, but Gu Shiyan didn't care whether those stones were worth it or not. This was the first time Lu Miao asked him for something, so he took the pictures without hesitation.
A service staff came in and asked Gu Shiyan whether he wanted to cut the rough stone on the spot.
Gu Shiyan turned to look at Lu Miao.
There were six stones in total, and Lu Miao pointed to four larger ones.
As the rough stone was cut piece by piece, everyone in the auction house couldn't help but take a breath.
One is the best full green, one is top-grade glass, and the remaining two are not bad although they contain impurities.
Not a single piece is empty!
This kind of accuracy is not achieved even by the big bosses who have been involved in the original stone circle for decades.
Moreover, the value of that top-quality green piece alone was dozens of times higher than their purchase price!
Gu Shiyan won this auction!
A few pieces of rough stone were just cut here, and immediately someone asked a service person to ask if they could sell them to them.
The price is negotiable.
Lu Miao refused directly and said to Gu Shiyan, "Jade nourishes people, take the green and glass piece back and find someone to make two sets of jewelry for Aunt Shen.
The leftover scraps can be used to make safety buttons and the like for Jinxi and Xiuyi."
Gu Shiyan nodded and continued to look at her.
Lu Miao paused for a moment, "The remaining two pieces of jade are of average quality. Find a carver to carve two unicorns and place them in the southeast corner of the Gu family's living room. They can be used to stabilize the house."
Gu Shiyan was still staring.
Lu Miao picked up the two pieces that had not yet been cut and gave them to Mr. Wen and Mr. Sun who were standing aside. "These two pieces are medicine king stones. They are not valuable, but they can be used as medicine. I have no use keeping them myself. I hope you don't dislike them."
The two old men didn't expect that they still had a share, and they were too happy. They didn't mind it, so they hurriedly reached out to take it.
"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it."
Then the two started to quarrel over which stone was bigger and who should get which one.
Gu Shiyan looked at Lu Miao.
Lu Miao blinked, no more, all six pieces have been divided.
I don't know if it was her imagination, but she seemed to see a hint of... resentment in Mr. Gu's eyes?
After thinking for a while, he hesitated and handed him the Double Butterfly Jade Pendant.
"this is for you?"
Mr. Gu was satisfied, reached out and took it, put it away, and finally stopped staring.
Lu Miao, "..."
So, is she unhappy that she gave it to someone else before but not to him?
When did the powerful, noble and elegant Mr. Gu become so childish?
The two old naughty boys, Mr. Sun and Mr. Wen, finally finished fighting for the ownership of the Yaowang Stone. Although they did not take pictures of tiger bones this time, they were in a good mood at the moment.
The more she looked at Lu Miao, the happier she felt. The little girl was well-behaved, sensible, and capable of doing business. She also cared about the old man. Who wouldn't want an apprentice like this?
"I felt pretty good when I went to Tianxiang Tower last time, Miaomiao, let's go together later."
Mr. Sun said with a smile.
Mr. Wen rolled his eyes at him and was about to speak.
With a "boom", the door of the private room was kicked open from the outside.
After the man outside rushed into the room, he started yelling angrily without even looking.
"I fucked your uncle. I want to see who is so brave that he dares to deliberately raise the bracelet to 200 million to cheat me!"
Lu Miao raised her eyebrows slightly and said bluntly, "Whoever teases you first is cheap!
Master Jin, it was you who lit the sky lanterns with us and wanted to raise the price to deceive us. You also quoted the price of 200 million. If you say so, I can sue you for spreading rumors and slander."
That's right, the guest in box No. 9, by coincidence, is Jin Chen!
She had already figured it out when he lit up the sky lantern.
That's why he allowed Gu Shiyan to increase the price at the beginning, and then stopped him at the last moment.
She is good at everything except protecting her shortcomings.
She wants to deceive the people around her and dream about it.
However, even she herself didn't realize that Gu Shiyan had been classified by her as one of her own.
This was the first time Gu Shiyan saw Lu Miao looking so sharp-tongued and sharp.
The little girl's thin body stood in front of him, charging forward to protect him.
For so many years, he has been the backbone of the Gu family, protecting his mother, brothers, sisters, and everything in the family.
He has long been accustomed to doing everything by himself, and this is the first time someone has stood in front of him.
The feeling of being protected like this seems good.
Jin Chen was angry and furious. It was clear that they had deliberately set up a trap to make him think that they would buy it, then they raised the price to compete with them, and finally gave up on tricking him into paying the bill.
He gritted his teeth and looked at Lu Miao, "You are the one who tricked me?
You know my identity and you still dare to deliberately trick me. I think you think your life is too long!"
He is used to being domineering in the capital, but he has never suffered such a big loss.
He stepped forward, raised his hand, and wanted to take action directly.
