After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Shows
Chapter 600 - 590: Excusing Myself to Deal with Family Matters

Chapter 600: Chapter 590: Excusing Myself to Deal with Family Matters

The host’s excited voice resonated throughout the venue.

"Once again, congratulations to Miss Gu Qiantong of the Gu Family, for acquiring this over six-hundred-year-old Red Sandalwood Chair at the price of three billion three hundred million!"

It’s exactly three times higher than the Jade Pendant offered by the Bai Family earlier!

The key point is that both items now belong to one person.

In the blink of an eye, nearly four and a half ’little goals’ have been spent.

The camera in the live broadcast room focused again on that young, charming face.

[Don’t want to say anything else, Miss is so powerful!]

[Can I ask if Miss still needs a leg accessory? One that can eat, sleep, and be cute to entertain you.]

[Suddenly feel that modern idol dramas are conservative. A big company’s boss works hard to achieve a partnership, yielding only twenty million in profit, while a real wealthy heiress can spend billions at a charity auction just like that. It’s not even in the same league.]

[Is the heiress called Gu Qiantong? Even her name sounds nice.]

[I searched online and found an account with that name. I thought it wasn’t her, but when I clicked in, it was located at Jinghe Palace, Imperial City. Forgive my intrusion.]

[Does the heiress’s mansion still need a housekeeper? I’ve already prepared my resume!]

[There’s already an account, so what are you waiting for? I’m going to follow first and see what the heiress posts, to broaden my horizons.]

...

Not to mention the fierce attention from the live audience, even the Yuan Family, the organizers of the charity dinner, were feeling a bit complicated.

Clearly, they were the organizers, yet now the most prominent and attention-grabbing were the Gu Family.

If this was the objective of the Gu Family, then this result is undoubtedly very successful.

"What exactly is the Gu Family trying to do?"

"Who knows, maybe the Gu Family wants to move their base to the mainland, and this girl named Gu Qiantong is just sent here as an advance party?"

"Later at the dinner, let our younger generation chat with the Gu heiress and see if they can find out anything."

The relatively solemn charity auction had come to an end, and the focus of everyone naturally relaxed a bit. Together with acquaintances, some people discussed a few sentences.

"Say what you will, but this young lady from the Gu Family has quite the nerve. Her debut was full of momentum!"

"Just a bit offensive, though. Old Zhan liked the chair offered by the Shen Family, but unfortunately, he couldn’t beat the Gu Family, who spent money like water."

"Just now I accidentally glanced at the face of the elderly lady from the Bai Family, and it looked a bit unpleasant."

"Haha, the Bai Family’s elderly lady offered that Jade Pendant, probably planning to use it to embarrass the Shen Family, like saying ’your ancestor’s relics are in our Bai Family’s hands.’ But they didn’t expect the Shen Family member wouldn’t even play along and didn’t participate in the bidding at all. That plan failed spectacularly. Plus, the chair offered by the Shen Family simply crushed the value of the Jade Pendant, leaving both ends unhappy. No wonder she’s not pleased."

"The old lady is about to turn seventy and still can’t maintain composure like the one from the Shen Family. This Bai Family..." The person who said this shook their head slowly, showing their lack of confidence in them.

"The Shen Family still conducts itself with the usual grace, especially this generation’s Family Head. Though this was an outburst for a beauty, the second branch of the Bai Family’s grandson didn’t behave properly either, deservedly reprimanded. I didn’t expect he would even show up today."

...

Amidst the ongoing discussions about the charity auction just concluded, the host on stage announced its successful completion and withdrew from the stage, implying the dinner was about to start.

A beam of light suddenly shone from the dome, landing on the corner of the stage where a black grand piano had appeared at some point.

As the fingers of a girl in a silver dress touched the keys, producing a series of beautiful notes, waitstaff with trays weaved among the guests, who then stood, cups in hand, mingling and quietly chatting.

"Oh, Second Young Master Hou has another new flame, but this lady, why does she look a bit familiar?"

Zhang Lingxuan, holding Second Young Master Hou’s arm, reluctantly accompanied him to socialize. She managed to handle a few easy tasks, just when she was about to take a breather, when she ran into someone who seemed to have seen her before.

In a panic, she quickly excused herself to go touch up her makeup in the restroom, set down her glass, and hurriedly walked in the opposite direction.

"Ah!"

A glass of champagne was knocked over, wetting Zhang Lingxuan’s arm and splashing onto Cao Xinyan’s chest.

The only thing spared was the glass lying on the soft carpet.

Zhang Lingxuan suppressed her impatience, "Sorry, I’m in a hurry to leave."

Cao Xinyan gritted her teeth, restraining her impulse to get angry, and forced a forgiving smile, "I was also at fault for not holding the glass steady."

"Then deal with it yourself." Zhang Lingxuan said as she hurriedly changed direction and left.

She was planning to hide in the restroom anyway, and now she didn’t even need to find an excuse.

Left behind holding the spilled area on her chest, Cao Xinyan: "..."

She was just being polite, and this person really took it too far!

Initially, she was holding a glass intending to try her luck by the VIP seats. If she could exchange a few words, great; if not, photo-bombing would be fine too.

But now with a soaked dress, she didn’t even feel like mingling at the event anymore.

After taking a deep breath, she called over a nearby server, "Where is the restroom?"

Time was limited, she needed to hurry and dry the wine stain off her dress.

Before long, she met Zhang Lingxuan again in the restroom: "..."

Gu Qiantong, having dealt with a few family sons who came to chat her up, set down her glass and replaced it with another red wine from her assistant, then got up to move toward a seat not far away.

This scene caught the eyes of several Yuan Family young men, who were also about to chat her up. They paused simultaneously and exchanged looks.

Yuan’s Third Young Master: "Is this Gu heiress interested in the one from the Shen Family?"

Yuan’s Second Young Master: "She can’t not know Mr. Shen is infatuated with a little celebrity, can she? It shouldn’t be! Or does she think her charm alone would win him over, that’s too much confidence!"

Yuan’s First Young Master: "I bet the Gu heiress will return defeated, believe it or not?"

The two younger brothers immediately looked at their older brother.

Why are you so sure?

Do you know something insider?

Not sharing with your younger brothers, are you really a big brother?

However, with curiosity aligned, none of the three moved.

No matter who they are, the desire for gossip is the same for everyone!

"Mr. Shen, for that Red Sandalwood Chair, the auction price was frankly a bit low, which gave me an advantage. I specifically came to thank you for letting it go, and I toast to you."

Gu Qiantong raised her glass slightly as she leaned toward him.

Shen Yunqing looked up at her, then at the tea he had just brewed in front of him, "It’s not letting go, sorry, I don’t drink alcohol."

Gu Qiantong’s posture stiffened slightly, and the perfect smile on her lips broke a little.

This guy really is impervious, or is it that her ploy simply doesn’t appeal to him?

As soon as the auction ended, Jiang Lingxi had been summoned by Elder Yuan.

Even though her painting wasn’t bid on by the elderly at the auction, it left a deep impression.

This time when Jiang Lingxi joined in, she was welcomed more warmly by a group of seniors than during her time in the lounge.

Until she received a photo sent by Xu Ling’an on her phone.

After viewing it, she calmly turned off her phone, nodded politely to everyone, "Apologies, I’ll excuse myself for a moment."

Going to handle some family matters!
