Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself Chapter 310 - The Real Fight Between The Wealthy!

Chapter 310: The Real Fight Between The Wealthy!

“Ah!” Madam Yao felt a sharp pain in her back. “Who… Who p.r.i.c.ked me?”

Everyone rolled their eyes. Madam Yao was still acting?

There was no one beside her at all. Who could p.r.i.c.k her? Did she not think before coming up with lies?

The person in charge quickly got the staff to close the door so that the Yao family would not disturb the auction anymore.

Qiao Xi put the silver needles back into her sleeve, and the corners of her mouth curled into a smile.

Xue Liang lowered his eyes. “Little Six, there are so many people here. You should restrain yourself.”

Qiao Xi was filled with confidence. “No one saw it at all. Don’t panic!”

Below the stage, Gu Zheng looked at her cufflinks with deep eyes.

Xue Liang: “…”

She still could not escape his eyes.

…

After the Yao family left, the entire auction venue instantly fell silent.

Qiao Xi returned to her seat. “Gu Zheng, what’s the last item? I’m very curious.”

Everyone was also very curious about what the last item would be because there was no information on it at all.

However, Qiao Xi was sure that Gu Zheng knew what it was. Moreover, he didn’t say anything throughout the entire auction. He was probably here for the mysterious item, right?

Gu Zheng curled his finger. “Come closer, I’ll tell you.”

Qiao Xi immediately leaned forward and pressed her little head into his embrace.

Gu Zheng’s voice was low. “Qiao Xi.”

“Yes?”

“Don’t use concealed weapons in public.” Gu Zheng gently stroked her hair. “If others see it, there’ll be trouble.”

Fourth Brother’s strange expression from earlier suddenly appeared in Qiao Xi’s mind. It turned out that Gu Zheng had noticed it.

She had been practicing using concealed weapons since she was young and was confident that she would not be seen by outsiders. Unexpectedly, Gu Zheng spotted it at a glance.

Qiao Xi was unwilling to give up. This man must have spotted her by chance.

Hence, she took out a silver needle and was about to flick it out—

“Gu Zheng!”

Gu Zheng grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.

His other hand moved to her palm and the silver needle fell into his hand in the blink of an eye.

Qiao Xi leaned against his chest as his hot breath sprayed over her. “Little girl? You want to use your concealed weapons on me, huh?”

She struggled hard, but Gu Zheng did not move. For the first time, she felt the difference between her and Gu Zheng.

Gu Zheng controlled her effortlessly, but in the eyes of outsiders, Gu Zheng was just supporting her.

However, she knew very well that her life was in Gu Zheng’s hands right now.

Gu Zheng hugged her waist and gently lifted her back to the chair. “Do you want to know what the mysterious item is?”

Qiao Xi: “…”

‘b.a.s.t.a.r.d! You’re having fun, huh?’

Gu Zheng’s expression did not change as the corners of his mouth twitched. “I think you’ll like it.”

Hearing this, Qiao Xi was even more curious.

‘He’s not going to give me the last item, is he?

‘Tsk! Don’t think that you can bribe me just by giving me a gift. Just now, you even humiliated me for being weak! Do you think that if you give me something I’ll forgive you? Impossible!’

Qiao Xi thought arrogantly. She would not lower her head so easily.

Gu Zheng turned his head, his eyes smiling.

At this moment, the door of the auction house opened again and a man walked in while surrounded by people.

Gu Yao gasped.

Someone exclaimed, “Lu Yan! He’s here too. I thought that the Lu family wouldn’t come!”

“President Gu didn’t raise his placard just now. He must be waiting for the last item. Lu Yan is probably here for this item as well. If they want to compete, that’ll be the true fight between the wealthy!”

Another person asked in confusion, “I heard that Lu Yan is going to acknowledge his elders. If that’s the case, he doesn’t represent the Lu family anymore. He represents… the Gu family.”

With that said, everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look at Gu Zheng’s cold face.

Most of the people in the upper circle knew Lu Yan’s ident.i.ty. He was the legitimate eldest young master of the Gu family, while Gu Zheng was just an illegitimate child brought by Madam Gu.

Gu Weiming’s first wife was Lu Qingyun from the Lu family.

Back then, Lu Qingyun gave birth to a son. The son went missing. A month later, Lu Yan was abandoned at the Lu family’s door.

Hence, everyone thought that Lu Yan was Lu Qingyun’s child. It was just that the Lu family had already cut ties with the Gu family, so Lu Yan had never returned to the Gu family..
