Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

Chapter 295: Mysterious Item

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The staff member handed out the auction booklet to everyone present and introduced the items for auction today.

Inside the lounge, Qiao Xi flipped it open and took a glance. It was mostly jewelry and some famous paintings, ornaments, and musical instruments.

However…

“Why is there another mysterious item here? What exactly is it?” she asked Gu Zheng in confusion.

Gu Zheng swept a glance over and said indifferently, “You’ll know in a bit.”

When he put it that way, the more curious Qiao Xi became.

After a while, she suddenly received a message on her phone. It was from Xue Liang.

“Gu Zheng, Fourth Brother is here too. I’m going to look for him. I’ll be back in a while.”

“Alright.” The man nodded.

Qiao Xi had just left when Gu Zheng said coldly, “Since you’re here, then stop hiding.”

At this moment, someone walked in.

Lu Yan had a smile on the corner of his mouth as he walked in naturally without any awkwardness or restraint. “President Gu, you’re really alert!”

Gu Zheng sneered.

Lu Yan gently said, “Gu Zheng, do you not want to see me so much?”

Gu Zheng lowered his eyes and did not want to care at all. “Even if that’s the case, won’t you still come, Mr. Lu?”

Lu Yan was not angry but smiled indifferently.

The two of them knew very well about the grudge between them. Lu Yan was very glad that his family had paved the way for him back then. Otherwise, he would have to bear the reputation of an illegitimate child for the rest of his life.

Their fates had completely changed. He had become the eldest young master of the Gu family, while Gu Zheng was an illegitimate child.

Lu Yan was calm. “Rumor has it that President Gu is arrogant and doesn’t take anyone seriously. It’s my honor to be someone you hate!

“I know why you don’t want to see me. You’re afraid that I’ll hit on Qiao Xi, right? And your younger brother, Gu Yao. They’re the most important people to you. You don’t want me to get close to them, right?”

Gu Zheng’s eyes were deep.

To be able to say these words so indifferently, Lu Yan’s skin was really thick.

Gu Zheng raised his eyes and glanced at him. Lu Yan looked gentle like jade on the surface, but he was actually a vicious snake.

“Scram!”

Lu Yan’s smile gradually vanished. “Gu Zheng.”

Gu Zheng exuded a murderous aura.

Lu Yan did not expect that even after 20 years of scheming and Gu Zheng becoming an illegitimate child that Gu Zheng would not care at all.

He removed all pretenses. “President Gu, you’re skilled, so you’re naturally not afraid of me. But don’t you want to think about Qiao Xi and Gu Yao?”

Gu Zheng looked at him indifferently. After a long time, he sneered.

“Lu Yan, you don’t have to threaten me. Gu Yao is your younger brother, so you won’t do anything to him. As for Qiao Xi, you don’t dare!”

Lu Yan’s expression darkened.

Gu Zheng said slowly, “Get lost! Don’t make me do it myself!”

Lu Yan was slightly stunned. He did not understand why Gu Zheng was still so arrogant. At this moment, should he not be feeling uneasy in his heart? Should he not be afraid that his inheritance would be taken away by others?

However, Gu Zheng was very calm as if he had long been prepared for this.

He indeed could not touch Gu Yao and Qiao Xi, because if he wanted to take Gu Zheng’s position, he could not hurt those two people.

He wanted to snatch Qiao Xi away and become Gu Yao’s most respected elder brother.

Lu Yan smiled again and said meaningfully, “The auction is about to start. I’ll leave first. I heard that today’s auction will be very exciting!”

Gu Zheng had never cared about reputation, so he rarely participated in such auctions. However, he was here for that mysterious item this time.

If he did not guess wrong, it was the same for Lu Yan.

In that case, they would have to see who the winner would be.

…

Qiao Xi walked around but did not find Xue Liang. She casually found a seat and sent a message to Xue Liang.

Qiao Xi: [Fourth Brother, where are you?]

Xue Liang: [Little Six, I have something urgent to attend to. I’ll be back as soon as possible. If I don’t make it back, you can bid for that violin. I’ll make the payment later.]

Qiao Xi was extremely excited. [Alright! Don’t blame me if the price is too high!]

Xue Liang did not mind at all. [It doesn’t matter how much it is. As long as you’re happy, it’s fine. I can even spend 100 million. Raise the price!]

Qiao Xi smiled with satisfaction. She was just about to stand up and leave when she heard a voice not far away.

“Mengqing, no matter what, we have to get that violin today!”
