The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

Gu Yan's words were obviously more useful than the reasons for persuasion that Zhang Qingwan had racked her brains to come up with. Gu Yue, who was sitting next to Zhang Qingwan, also watched the interaction between his father and aunt with relish, and felt great sympathy for his cousin Zhang Qingwan.

Ever since Zhang Qingwan's father died in a car accident when she was in high school, Gu Yan has never had any idea of ​​meeting other outstanding opposite-sex people. She raised Zhang Qingwan alone until she was 18 years old, and did not force her daughter to apply for any major she did not want to study when filling out her application form. She let Zhang Qingwan apply for the foreign language translation major according to her own will.

However, Zhang Qingwan was also very hardworking. She completed four years of credits and courses in just three years. She also created a famous scene at the graduation defense for her younger classmates at the Imperial Capital Foreign Language School that will remain in the school's history forever.

After graduating from the Translation Department, Zhang Qingwan never took a penny from her mother Gu Yan. Not only did she start her first business with her own abilities, she also was admitted to Tsinghua University's graduate school of economics and management during the busy and difficult start-up period of the company.

Although Zhang Qingwan's uncle Gu Liang has some differences with her sister Gu Yan in career decisions, this does not hinder their close relationship. Perhaps because he loves his niece Zhang Qingwan, he has always taken good care of her.

However, if Zhang Qingwan and Gu Yan were present at the same time, the weight of the words of this niece, who was extremely outstanding in the eyes of outsiders, would definitely not be as great as that of Gu Liang's sister Gu Yan.

Zhang Qingwan was already accustomed to her uncle's "sister complex" and did not complain at this time. She just watched Gu Liang nodded in response to Gu Yan's words, and the next second she put down her hand that was about to press the bidder.

After seeing Gu Liang make a bid of 12 billion, Wu Chen watched for a moment. Seeing that his old rival had completely stopped moving, he quickly entered a string of numbers on the bidder and sent it out immediately.

When the bid of 13 billion was refreshed on the electronic screen of the auction table, Xu Yiyu in Box No. 5000 finally understood the "battle situation" at the time.

At the beginning, the bronze wine jar was just a competition between the two younger generations of the Gu family and the Wu family. However, it was not known whether Wu Chen and Gu Liang got serious during the bidding and directly escalated the competition for the wine jar to a competition between the two families.

It's really eye-opening. Why do they say that people become more childish as they get older? Why are these two family heads, who can cause an earthquake in China's business world with just a stomp of their feet, so like two ignorant children in their competition in this area?

Is this the well-known saying, “All the tricks played to the extreme are just like a fight between elementary school students”?

Gu Liang noticed Wu Chen's increase in price, but he was being closely watched by his sister Gu Yan, so he had no chance to pick up the bidding device and bid again. He could only watch Wu Chen take over the Han Dynasty bronze wine jar.

When it was announced that the bronze wine jar belonged to Wu Chen, Wu Nan secretly made a heart sign to her father Wu Chen in the box and even came close to him and acted coquettishly.

Wu Chen enjoyed his rebellious daughter's coquettishness very much. Although he still looked serious on the surface, the corners of his mouth that could not help but rise revealed his true thoughts.

Having finally defeated Gu Liang once, Wu Chen naturally had no reason not to show off to this old rival. He immediately edited a message on Yixin and sent it to Gu Liang, and attached an extremely arrogant emoticon package in a very proud manner.

Hearing the notification tone of a new message from YiXin, Gu Liang casually picked up his phone and saw that it was a message from that childish Wu Chen. Before he clicked on it to see the specific information, he guessed that he was showing off his achievements to him.

"Dad, Uncle Wu is still the same. His mentality is very young."

Gu Yue, who was never afraid of any embarrassment, pretended to glance at Gu Liang's mobile phone screen casually and said this deliberately in a light-hearted manner.

"Of course! We are all quite old, but we are still so... lively."

Gu Yue's words finally smoothed over Gu Liang's confusion and dissatisfaction, and Gu Yanzhang and Qingwan, the mother and daughter, were speechless.

"What are you talking about? Xiaoliang, you are not much better than him."

Although Gu Yan is a few years older than Gu Yue, she has always been the type to complain about things that are wrong. Except in public, she never saves face for her younger brother Gu Yue.

"Sister! I am not your brother anymore!"

Gu Liang didn't really care too much about losing to Wu Chen this time, but he definitely couldn't stand his elder sister helping outsiders to complain about him!

While drinking tea, Zhang Qingwan looked at her uncle who would "rejuvenate" from time to time whenever he was in front of her mother. She calmly picked up the mobile phone at hand and sent a message to her best friend Wu Nan in the Wu family's box.

[Nannan, my uncle has started again.]

Just at this moment, Wu Nan lowered her eyes to look at her mobile phone. After seeing the Yixin message from her best friend, she secretly glanced at her father who looked like a victorious rooster in front of her, and replied to her best friend with extremely smooth movements.

[It’s the same here. My dad is so high-spirited right now. I can’t stand it any more…]

The two younger generations from the four major families were quietly communicating on their mobile phones about the situation in their respective boxes, but Xu Yiyu's eyes were on the second item that had been brought onto the stage by the backstage staff.

She could ask Zhang Qingwan about the competition between the Wu family and the Gu family after the auction. Although she was also curious about the "mental journey" of the two family heads in this competition, she was more curious about the true appearance of the second item that had been put on the stage.

When the red silk covering the item was slowly unveiled by the staff, everyone in the venue stared at the life-size artifact with eyes wide open. It would not be an exaggeration to describe their facial expressions as dumbfounded.

"What the hell?! Wasn't this thing previously in the British Capital Museum? How come something this big was stolen?"

Lu Sanshi, who was drinking tea next to Xu Yiyu, was almost choked by the true appearance of the second lot he saw with his own eyes. He quickly patted his chest to help himself breathe smoothly, then said in disbelief with a flushed face.

Xu Yiyu next to him was not much calmer than Sanshi. Looking at the lifelike item, his first reaction was not anger or sadness, but a feeling of being in between tears and laughter.

"Have the security measures of the British capital museum been so backward? Such a large exhibit has disappeared, but there is no news report at all?!"

Recalling the photos that had appeared on the official website of the British Capital Museum, Xu Yiyu carefully compared the details with the unexpected item on the stage, and finally confirmed that there was nothing wrong with his eyesight.

Li Rong in Box No. 1 had an expression somewhat similar to Xu Yiyu in Box No. 6.

"It seems that I have to go back and talk to the leader about this matter. It's time to maintain the relationship between China and Britain."
