After the divorce, she picked up a big brother as a spare tire
Chapter 56 The Four-legged Bronze Horse
The room was silent.
After Lu Wanqing finished the last sentence, she hung her head, her eyelids drooped, and her expression was listless.
The body finally gradually recovered its perception, but there was still no memory of what Gu Xilie said in his mind.
After such a farce, the downstairs gradually became quiet.
The auction time is almost here.
People have been sitting in the lobby on the first floor one after another.
Ding dong.
The originally noisy hall finally quieted down, and Lu Wanqing completely recovered from the sluggishness.
She looked around, but saw Gu Xiao sitting quietly by the French window.
He didn't keep asking Lu Wanqing what happened just now like ordinary people. Instead, when Lu Wanqing woke up and looked at him, he pointed downstairs and said softly: "The auction has started."
After finishing speaking, Gu Xiao turned his head away and looked downstairs to himself, ignoring Lu Wanqing at all.
He was so indifferent that Lu Wanqing didn't have to explain anything, but made Lu Wanqing feel more at ease.
She came forward with a teacup and sat on the empty seat next to Gu Xiao.
The hall on the first floor was full of people, some of whom Lu Wanqing had seen before, and some of them were unfamiliar faces.
"Are those people also from Yuncheng?" Lu Wanqing pointed to a row of chairs on the right side of the lobby on the first floor.
The row of people were all unfamiliar faces.
Gu Xiao followed the trend and shook his head: "No. They are from Lincheng."
Lincheng is right next to Yuncheng, and it takes only over an hour to drive on the highway.
Although Yuncheng and Lincheng are very close, the rich and nobles of the two cities have no contact with each other. Lu Wanqing couldn't help but look at those people, wondering why they appeared here?
Ding dong.
The host pressed the bell, and all eyes were on the stage.
Lu Wanqing noticed that Shangguan Qi was sitting in the first row below the stage, typing on the keyboard with her fingers, sometimes raising her head to look at the exhibits on the stage, and sometimes turning her head to look around the audience.
It has to be said that Shangguan Qi is indeed very qualified as a reporter.
"Everyone, all proceeds from today's charity auction will be donated to the children in the mountainous areas. The first one is from the Cui family in Lincheng."
As the host spoke, he raised his finger to the row of unfamiliar faces on his right.
A row of people smiled and nodded slightly to the others in the hall.
It turned out that they were the Lincheng Cui family!
Even Lu Wanqing had heard of it.
The position of the Lincheng Cui family in Lincheng is like that of Gu Yunzhong in Yuncheng.
However, Gu Yunzhong was able to stay in Yuncheng to this day without the help of the main family in the capital, but the Cui family in Lincheng has come to their current position through their own efforts.
Lu Wanqing stared sideways at the row of people. The man sitting in the middle was wearing casual clothes and a gray peaked cap, looking out of place with the people in suits and ties around him.
Not only that, there were two or three beauties in short black silk skirts sitting beside him, all of them smiling coquettishly and leaning towards him.
The men never refused to come, and their big hands rubbed back and forth on the waists of the beauties in turn.
Seeing this, the people around couldn't help turning their heads away, blushing and not looking.
On the other hand, those of the Cui family seemed to have gotten used to it.
In a short while, the host has already introduced everyone who participated in today's auction.
Gu Xilie was sent back by Su Ye with his skinny hands broken off, and the position of the representative of the Gu family became vacant.
As the Yang family is the second largest family in Yuncheng, Yang Wenshuo will naturally attend.
He was sitting in the row on the left, opposite to that bohemian young man from the Cui family.
Compared with the Cui family, Yang Wenshuo is much more serious.
He was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, with a serious face, looking around, not knowing what he was looking for.
"Everyone, our auction has officially started. Each bid is [-] as a unit."
As the host spoke, he opened the glass box on the stage, revealing the exquisite four-legged bronze horse inside.
Seeing this, Lu Wanqing's eyes lit up immediately.
She suddenly turned her head away, and looked at Gu Xiao beside her with a bit of astonishment.
The latter seemed expressionless, but the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.
"That's why you asked me to participate in the charity auction today." Lu Wanqing was slightly displeased.
Fortunately, she thought that Gu Xiao really wanted to celebrate her winning the first competition, but it turned out that he had invited herself here with a purpose.
The four-legged bronze horse is an ancient object. Those who have seen the real four-legged bronze horse in this world are not the leading figures of ancient Chinese doctors, or those who practice ancient martial arts or learn from some ancient sects since childhood.
And Lu Wanqing not only knows the tricks of ancient Chinese doctors, but also has practiced ancient martial arts.
Although so far no one knows what school and sect Lu Wanqing is from, it is precisely because of this that her identity is even more suspicious.
Coupled with her outstanding ability, what she said will naturally be more convincing.
Lu Wanqing believed that this was the real reason why Gu Xiao brought her to the auction - he needed Lu Wanqing to identify whether the four-legged bronze horse was real or not.
Gu Xiao turned his head and looked Lu Wanqing in the eyes: "If I want to save that villa, the only way is to get this four-legged bronze horse."
Facing Gu Xiao's disappointed eyes, Lu Wanqing's heart relaxed.
She leaned her hands on the armrests of the chair, hummed twice, moved her body back and forth a few times, turned her head and continued to stare under the French windows, and muttered to herself: "Then just say no? Why bother?" You have to mobilize people so much that I thought you..."
Lu Wanqing didn't say the second half of the sentence.
She stared at the four-legged bronze horse for a long time, then shook her head slowly: "It's too far away, I can't see clearly."
As soon as Gu Xiao raised his hand, Su Ye soon came in from the outside, leading Lu Wanqing to go downstairs.
Just as Lu Wanqing went down the stairs, she caught Yang Wenshuo's attention.
He got up and walked quickly to Lu Wanqing's side: "Qing'er, are you alright?"
As Yang Wenshuo said, he raised his hand to pull Lu Wanqing's wrist, but was blocked by Su Ye.
Before coming here today, Mr. Yang specifically asked Yang Wenshuo not to have any more conflicts with the Gu family.
Seeing this, Yang Wenshuo had no choice but to take two steps back, and looked at Lu Wanqing: "I've heard about Gu Xilie, Qinger, don't take those words to heart."
Lu Wanqing didn't even look at Yang Wenshuo, but still stared at the four-legged bronze horse.
She looked at it for a while, then looked back at Su Ye, and whispered, "Is there a way to get closer?"
The authenticity of the four-legged bronze horse is all on its right hind leg. If you can't see the mark, Lu Wanqing can't judge the authenticity.
Su Ye stared at Yang Wenshuo vigilantly, but said to Lu Wanqing: "I told them to reserve a seat for Master Lu in the front row."
As Su Ye arranged for the walkie-talkie, Yang Wenshuo kept staring at Lu Wanqing.
Seeing that the latter ignored him, Yang Wenshuo couldn't help becoming anxious: "Qing'er, that four-legged bronze horse is fake!"
After Lu Wanqing finished the last sentence, she hung her head, her eyelids drooped, and her expression was listless.
The body finally gradually recovered its perception, but there was still no memory of what Gu Xilie said in his mind.
