i Yinxue, upon hearing Gu Youlan's scornful remarks, cald down instead, revealing a faint smile. She said, "Who still fights and kills nowadays? I was just lucky that my husband got an invitation and could bring in to see the world."
As she spoke, i Yinxue paused for a mont, then continued, "Speaking of which, you were driven out of River City by back then, and now you seem to be doing quite well. Shouldn't you thank for that act of kindness?"
By the end, i Yinxue couldn't help but laugh out loud, producing a sound as delightful as silver bells ringing.
Gu Youlan's previously light and breezy expression darkened imdiately upon hearing i Yinxue's last remark.
The crowd inside the auction room, listening to their sharp exchanges, could not help but stiffen their expressions while secretly admiring i Yinxue's courage.
This was Gu Youlan.
The beloved wife of the Young Master of the Su Family from Jinling.
In Jinling, there was the Li Family, which was no less influential than the Su Family. Once, a young mistress from Li Family spoke up for the legitimate wife of the Young Master of the Su Family by calling Gu Youlan a ho-wrecker. Gu Youlan, sobbing and wailing, complained to the Young Master of the Su Family. Enraged, he rushed to the Li mansion and knocked out the teeth of that young mistress.
The incident caused quite a stir at the ti. Eventually, the Li Family, acknowledging their fault, accepted an apology from the Su Family and chose to keep the peace. After a while, that young mistress from the Li Family, once the storm had settled, was driven out of the family ho and eventually disappeared without a trace.
So speculated that Gu Youlan bore grudges and never let the Young Mistress Li off the hook.
Thus, i Yinxue's direct confrontation with Gu Youlan could indeed thrill others, but they also worried about her fate.
Fortunately, the Young Master of the Su Family was busy and did not attend tonight. Otherwise, they might have started fighting on the spot.
Gu Youlan, upon hearing i Yinxue's words, sure enough, her initial serene and smiling face suddenly turned as gloomy as if draped with clouds. She coolly fixed her gaze on i Yinxue, then her face lit up again with a charming smile, laughing, "Indeed, had Sister i not driven out back then, how would I have t Brother Su in Jinling? I really should thank my sister. After the auction ends, don't leave first, Sister i, let's have a few drinks."
i Yinxue shook her head, "That won't be necessary. We are ultimately not on the sa path. Since you were lucky enough not to die back then, from now on, I will stick to my sunny path, and you keep to your solitary bridge."
Gu Youlan wasn't angered, and laughed, "Who can clearly say what the sunny path is? Perhaps one day, old scores will be settled, and so might find themselves behind bars."
Her words were full of threats. If this had been the i Yinxue before eting Mu Jinyu, she probably would have been worried.
After all, from the hushed whispers of those around, Gu Youlan's Su Family was not to be underestimated.
But now, as it turned out, her instincts had been correct; she had truly found a treasure.
Mu Jinyu, now known as the Tiance True Dragon of the Dragon King Hall, should old scores ever be revisited, with all the misdeeds Gu Youlan had committed, she'd likely be the first to pay dearly.
There's no point in talking half a word more.
i Yinxue then ceased her conversation with Gu Youlan. Signaling to Mu Jinyu, she then entered their private room along with Mu Jinyu and Su Zijin.
Once inside the private room,
Mu Jinyu complained, "Old i, why didn't you let speak just now? That woman is dumb as a post. A peasant chicken turned phoenix, who still dares ss around after marrying into wealth. If you'd let say a few words, I could have ensured her imdiate downfall, making it impossible for her to stay in the Su Family."
i Yinxue was about to say she didn't need him to step in yet, and that if she really couldn't handle Gu Youlan, then she would ask for her husband's help.
But hearing Mu Jinyu's words, she couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "What do you an by that? Does she have any dirt on her?!"
"What else could it an?" Mu Jinyu chuckled, "It's just that her body emits strong chaotic vital energies, varying in intensity. Without guessing, it's obvious, she often sneaks out behind her husband's back, having fun with multiple partners!"
Su Zijin, hearing Mu Jinyu's words, imdiately showed a hint of disgust in her eyes.
Being a very conservative woman, she deeply despised and was ashad of such unfaithful behavior.
When i Yinxue heard Mu Jinyu's explanation, she also showed a thoughtful expression and said, "Right, when she was on missions in those years, she often relied on selling herself to complete them due to her poor martial arts skills."
Mu Jinyu said, "It might not be that she went out behind her husband's back, maybe her husband just enjoys that sort of thing, who knows? You wanted to speak up just now, and by now her reputation would have already been ruined."
"Let's not bother with her," i Yinxue gently shook her head and said, "She's just a clown, her threat is far less than Zhu Yeqing's."
Zhu Yeqing is a type of venomous snake, and having grown up alongside i Yinxue, who took its na, shows the level of her ferocity.
In the private room, the conversation continued as ti slowly passed.
Soon, the lights in the auction hall gradually dimd.
Then, on the large screen in Mu Jinyu's private room, a presenter appeared, holding a microphone and stepping onto the stage, then smilingly said, "Ladies and gentlen, good evening, welco to our Jinling auction. Without further ado, let us start the auction with tonight's first item!"
With that, a lady dressed in a cheongsam, carrying a tray, walked towards the stage.
On that red cloth-covered tray, a dripping green, crystal-clear jade bracelet was placed.
"Tonight's first item is this Green Emperor Jadeite Bracelet, a forr royal collection piece that was lost overseas and has only now been retrieved. The starting bid is three hundred million, and each subsequent bid must be no less than one million yuan."
Watching the presentation about this jade bracelet on the screen, as well as its close-up shots by the cara, both Su Zijin and i Yinxue's eyes flickered slightly, entranced and tempted.
However, the price of three hundred million was a bit steep.
In the auction hall, after the presenter announced the price, there was a brief silence, then a well-known collector from Jinling raised his sign in the hall and shouted, "Three hundred and one million."
Clearly, although he liked the bracelet, he was not desperate to have it, otherwise, he would not have called out such a price.
If no one else was interested and there were no other bids, he could obtain it for just that small amount. But if soone else was competing, he was ready to give up. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novel-fire
However, how could such a leading auction item have no takers?
Imdiately soone else called out a bid:
"Three hundred and ten million!"
"Three hundred and twenty million!"
"Three hundred and fifty million!"
"…"
Eventually, soone called out three hundred and eighty million, and the heated atmosphere finally began to subside.
At that mont, the sound system in the hall played Gu Youlan's voice.
"Four hundred million!"
Gu Youlan placed a bid.
The atmosphere in the auction hall, already quieting down, suddenly stalled again, and shortly thereafter, a lady who was previously determined to win the bracelet, imdiately wilted and did not dare to follow up with a bid.
Seeing this, Mu Jinyu picked up the microphone and shouted, "Four hundred and one million!"
