The theme of today's auction is ancient paintings and jade. Most of the ancient paintings were created by painters from the Ming and Qing dynasties. One of them is a brocade painting by Zhang Daqian, which is the most eye-catching and should be a hotly sought-after item. Zhang Daqian's paintings have been hyped up more and more in recent years. It is rare to see his paintings on the market, and the prices at auctions are extremely high.

Su Lingzhi was not interested in such paintings and could not appreciate them. Moreover, the starting price was 2.5 million yuan. She felt that it was too cost-effective to buy a painting at such an expensive price. It could only be said that her artistic quality was not good enough. Xu Wanqing liked Zhang Daqian's paintings very much, but she had no money to buy them. She came for a red jade pendant.

She was listening to someone bidding on a painting from the Republic of China when Gu Zhen sent a message asking her what she was doing. Su Lingzhi said she was at an auction and also mentioned that Zhang Daqian's paintings were really expensive. Who knew that Gu Zhen asked her to go and bid.

Su Lingzhi: That painting is so expensive, do you want to buy it?

Gu Zhen: Shoot.

Su Lingzhi: Where’s the money?

Gu Zhen: Xu Fei will send it to you.

Su Lingzhi: Okay!

She lowered her voice and complained to Xu Wanqing, "Is there really someone who would spend hundreds of millions to buy an ancient painting? If you say it's valuable, then it's valuable. If you say it's not valuable, then it's just a piece of paper. Are you crazy?"

"I don't understand." Xu Wanqing spread her hands, "I also feel like my brain is broken."

“Maybe it’s art!”

"Before Van Gogh died, his paintings were not worth much." Xu Wanqing raised an eyebrow and said, "They are exactly the same paintings. Could it be that before the painter died, no one else knew how to appreciate them? This is just hype."

Su Lingzhi felt the same way. She and Xu Wanqing were in the same business. Xu Wanqing's red jade was relatively cheap in today's collections, and almost no one competed for it. She spent 20 million to buy it. Su Wan competed with her once, more like a fit of anger. Xu Wanqing directly raised her placard and bid in seconds, winning in momentum, so Su Wan did not continue to compete.

The auction proceeded in an orderly manner. Finally, it was the turn of Zhang Daqian's Brocade Painting. The starting bid was 2.5 million yuan, which instantly pushed the auction to a climax. Many people came for the painting.

Su Lingzhi didn't want to be too high-profile, so Xu Wanqing helped her raise the bid, and it was soon raised to 500 million. Many collectors who had been bidding had no choice but to give up. Su Wan and Su Zitian also came to bid, and followed the bid all the way to 500 million, determined to win.

Finally, all the bidders were defeated. Just when Su Wan and Su Zitian thought it was a sure thing, Xu Wanqing made a bid.

Su Wan glared at her fiercely, "Did you do this on purpose?"

Xu Wanqing spread her hands, "I like collecting art the most, especially paintings. If you think they are expensive, you can give them up. I have plenty of money."

Su Zitian gritted his teeth but could do nothing. The highest bidder wins at the auction, so Su Wan could only continue bidding, reluctantly raising it to 5.5 million, as if it was their limit. Su Wan was so anxious that her eyes turned red. She and Xu Wanqing were mortal enemies, and there was no way she would ask Xu Wanqing to give it to her, but the price was beyond her ability to bear.

Su Zitian gritted his teeth and raised the price by another 10 million. Xu Wanqing made another bid in seconds, as if to say, "No matter how much you offer, I will match it."

Su Lingzhi: Su Wan and Su Zitian are also here to bid, why don’t we raise the price with them and make them bleed heavily?

This would make Su Lingzhi feel even better.

Gu Zhen: You can play with the other collections, but I want this painting.

Su Lingzhi: ...Okay!

Only Xu Wanqing and Su Wan were left bidding, and they were in a stalemate. Su Zitian admitted defeat and said softly, "Wanwan, forget it, it's too expensive."

They really couldn't afford to shoot it, it exceeded their budget by too much.

Su Wan's eyes turned red. Su Zitian looked at her pitiful face and felt sad. His sister had always been able to get whatever she wanted since she was a child. How could she lose? At worst, he could just sell all the cars.

Su Zitian gritted his teeth and added another thousand. Xu Wanqing once again bid within seconds and taunted, "Can you guys be more straightforward? Why are you so hesitant?"

Su Zitian was provoked and raised the price again. Xu Wanqing knew that it was Gu Zhen who wanted it, so she kept raising the price. Su Zitian was defeated. Even though Su Wan cried, Su Zitian felt pity for her but could do nothing to help.

In the end, Xu Wanqing bought the painting for 6.2 million yuan, plus the commission it was nearly 7 million yuan. Su Lingzhi thought to himself that art is really expensive.

Xu Fei came over with a check to pay the money, and he was responsible for all subsequent processing and handover. Although Su Lingzhi thought it was expensive, he was still happy to see Su Wan and Su Zitian being humiliated.

"Mr. Gu, do you want to take a picture of it as a gift?" Su Lingzhi asked.

Xu Fei laughed, "No, the master likes to collect ancient paintings very much. He buys them as they come out. President Jin Yu notified him today, but he didn't see the message."

Mr. Gu doesn't have the hobby of collecting luxury cars and watches like the second-generation rich. He doesn't have many cars, just a stretched Lincoln, a Maybach, a G65, and a few sports cars. For a top rich man like him, it's very few. Su Zitian, a playboy, has more than sports cars in his garage.

The watches in the watch cabinet are the ones that are often worn, which is not an exaggeration. Su Lingzhi also thought that Gu Zhen was really spending money lavishly on her, and her own style was very simple. She didn't expect that he had such a costly collecting hobby.

"How many people know his hobby?" Su Lingzhi suddenly asked.

Xu Fei said, "This is no secret in Jiangcheng. The master often takes pictures of ancient paintings."

Su Lingzhi had a very strange thought in his mind. Su Wan suddenly came to bid for such an expensive ancient painting. Could it be that she wanted to give it to Gu Zhen to please him?

She was really confused, so she talked to Xu Wanqing about it. Xu Wanqing was surprised, "It's not that serious, is it? If Gu Jialiang knew, he would be so angry that he would die."

Wouldn't Gu Jialiang be laughed at to death if his fiancée spent hundreds of millions to please the enemy? However, Su Lingzhi thought of Su Wan's personality and felt that she could do it.

"Not necessarily." Xu Wanqing said with disdain, "Gu Jialiang and Gu Zhen have a bad relationship, but Su Wan has never avoided suspicion. Others have praised Su Wan for her kindness and gentleness, and for being so gentle to her fiancé's enemies. We have all complained privately that there is no such a woman of truth, kindness and beauty. She is simply the reincarnation of the Virgin Mary. If you think about it from another angle, she is playing both sides and making the Gu brothers like her. It seems to make sense. No matter who controls the Gu family, she can be the young lady, right?"

Su Lingzhi, "..."

This really seems like truth, goodness and beauty, something that a charming female protagonist would do, to influence the villain male protagonist, to be gentle, affectionate and kind, to get everyone's attention and love, and then to choose the person who is most beneficial to her.

Isn't the original short drama like this? Gu Jialiang has completely become a tool for the male and female protagonists. The female protagonist Su Wan says that she loves him and swears to be with him forever, but she still stays with the male protagonist. In fact, Gu Jialiang has never died, he is just a little bit down and out. If she really loves Gu Jialiang, why can't she leave the male protagonist?

So, Su Wan wants to conquer Gu Zhen now?
