Charity Auction
Xiao Sheng looked at Gu Muchen but didn’t say anything. She had a faint smile on her face, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes.
“Thirty million.” Xiao Sheng raised the sign.
Upon hearing Xiao Sheng’s bid, the entire auction hall became lively, and everyone whispered and discussed in low voices.
From the beginning, they didn’t take this stranger seriously, but they didn’t expect him to bid thirty million for the illegitimate daughter of the Ye family.
Being able to compete with Gu Muchen showed how strong this man’s hidden strength was.
“This illegitimate daughter of the Ye family is quite capable!”
“I didn’t pay much attention to her before, but she really surprised me today. Compared to Ye Shiyun, she is more outstanding in terms of temperament, appearance, and figure.”
“That’s right. If it weren’t for the fact that the Ye family doesn’t recognize her, I would have thought that Ye Chu was the Miss Ye of the Ye family.”
“But now that the Ye family has climbed up the big tree of the Gu family, they can enjoy the shade in the future!”
“I’m not sure if they have climbed up yet. The rumors outside are all released by the Ye family. Have you seen any response from the Gu family? They haven’t even announced their engagement banquet. Maybe only the Ye family is enthusiastic.”
“Then let’s see if Gu Muchen is willing to buy the Blue Star for Ye Shiyun.”
“How do you know that Gu Muchen wants the Blue Star for Ye Shiyun?”
“Gu Muchen never brings a female companion. Today, with so many media present, he brought Ye Shiyun. Doesn’t that explain the problem?”
After listening to the discussion behind her, Ye Shiyun felt so happy.
Today, Gu Muchen brought her to attend a charity auction, which was a disguised announcement to everyone that she was the future Mrs. Gu!
And that Blue Star, Gu Muchen would definitely bid for it and give it to her!
Ye Shiyun thought with anticipation, looking at Gu Muchen beside her.
After Xiao Sheng called out the price, Gu Muchen raised his sign. “Fifty million.”
Xiao Sheng always had a faint smile on his face, with the corners of his eyes lifted, captivating countless women in the audience.
When Xiao Sheng was about to raise his sign again, Ye Chu quickly pressed down on Xiao Sheng’s hand holding the sign.
“Boss, it’s too expensive!”
Xiao Sheng lowered his eyes and looked at Ye Chu’s small hand holding his wrist, smiling and asking, “Don’t want the bonus?”
“I don’t want it!” Ye Chu said firmly.
“But I promised you, so I have to keep my word.” Xiao Sheng tilted his head and looked at Ye Chu’s anxious little face. The last time he saw her so anxious was when she came to apply for a job as a bar singer and was rejected by him.
“Then just give me a 500 yuan red envelope, Boss.” Ye Chu said seriously.
“What a pity, I think it suits you very well. Although there is a flaw in the corner of the star, it reflects a different light.” Xiao Sheng said, putting down his sign and turning to smile at Gu Muchen. “Mr. Gu, a gentleman doesn’t take away someone else’s pleasure. I believe your fiancée will love this gift.”
Xiao Sheng’s words made Gu Muchen’s face even more unpleasant. On the contrary, Ye Shiyun beside him smiled happily but didn’t want to show it too obviously, so she appeared a bit coy.
In the end, Gu Muchen bought the Blue Star for fifty million yuan.
However, when everyone thought the climax was about to come, Gu Muchen didn’t show any interest in mentioning Ye Shiyun at all.
Ye Shiyun was full of joy and anticipation, but she waited until the host introduced the next item, and Gu Muchen didn’t even mention giving the Blue Star to her in public.
People in this circle were the most adept at changing their minds based on details.
Previously, everyone thought that Gu Muchen was picking a fight with Xiao Sheng for the sake of his fiancée Ye Shiyun. Now it seemed that Ye Shiyun didn’t mean anything to Gu Muchen, and it was still uncertain who would be Mrs. Gu in the future.
Ye Shiyun was very unhappy, but she could only secretly hold her bag and not show any dissatisfaction in front of Gu Muchen.
Today, she had lost face, and there were still so many media reporters present. She didn’t know how they would exaggerate this matter!
It must be because of the man Ye Chu was with that made Gu Muchen angry, and she was implicated.
Ye Shiyun thought angrily that when she got back, she would teach that little slut a lesson!
In the following auction, Xiao Sheng bought the last work of jewelry master X, Bird of Paradise, for one billion yuan.
Gu Muchen didn’t raise his paddle again except for the Blue Star.
“X’s designs are so beautiful!” Ye Chu exclaimed sincerely.
“Do you like it?” Xiao Sheng asked.
“Well, although I’ve only seen two pieces from today’s auction, both of them gave me a very spiritual, natural, and vivid feeling. I’m not very knowledgeable and can’t use professional terms, but after seeing them, I really like them,” Ye Chu answered seriously.
“Then I’ll give you the Blue Star.”
“If you don’t want it, what’s the use of liking it now? It’s already someone else’s.” Xiao Sheng raised an eyebrow.
“That’s not the same! Liking something doesn’t mean you have to possess it,” Ye Chu said.
“Isn’t that so?” Xiao Sheng was a little surprised by Ye Chu’s answer.
“Of course not. I also like this exhibition hall. Can it be mine?” Ye Chu gave an example.
“If you really like it, it’s not impossible,” Xiao Sheng nodded at Ye Chu.
“Boss, please don’t joke with me!”
“Of course not joking.”
The interaction between Ye Chu and Xiao Sheng was all seen by Gu Muchen sitting here.
At this moment, Ye Chu’s vivid expressions were much more beautiful than her panicked or scared looks when facing him.
Huh, this woman really has many faces!
Gu Muchen narrowed his deep eyes. With so much experience, how many people had she seduced?
At this point, Ye Chu got up and left the seat, leaving the auction venue.
After a while, Gu Muchen also got up and left.
Ye Chu was touching up her makeup in front of the mirror in the restroom while also trying to sort out her feelings. To be honest, ever since Gu Muchen took that photo of the Blue Star, she couldn’t help but imagine the scene of Gu Muchen placing it around Ye Shiyun’s neck. The image of the two of them gazing into each other’s eyes with affection and tenderness kept popping up in her mind, making her very uneasy.
With a sigh, Ye Chu turned around and walked out of the restroom, only to bump into Gu Muchen at the door.
“Gu...”
Before Ye Chu could finish her sentence, Gu Muchen grabbed her wrist and forcefully dragged her into the restroom.
After pulling Ye Chu inside, he flipped the sign hanging on the door handle and slammed the door shut with a loud bang.
The sign shook a few times and read: Cleaning in progress, do not enter.
Gu Muchen then locked the restroom door with a turn of his hand.
