The Outcast Heiress’s Secret Identities
Chapter 518 - Chapter 518 0508 Can you still play like this

Chapter 518: 0508 Can you still play like this? Chapter 518: 0508 Can you still play like this? She suddenly looked up, just in time to see Fu Qiyuan lower the bidding paddle he was holding.

She furrowed her brows slightly, a contemplative look on her face.

Su Ran turned to look at the man next to her but saw that his expression was impassive, unaffected.

“Why would you…”

Fu Qiyuan glanced sideways at her, the corners of his lips barely perceptibly lifting.

“Bid on it to give it to you as a vase.”

The perfect place to put the wildflowers by my side that I have no idea how to deal with!

“…”

“…”

As Fu Qiyuan finished speaking, a collective twitch passed the lips of everyone in the audience.

Use it as a vase?

That’s an antique with three centuries of history.

A 20-million piece, treated so casually?

Su Ran was also stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses, looked at Fu Qiyuan, and smiled softly.

“A 20-million antique used as a vase, who is this magnate?”

“Moreover, this was supposed to be an item that Su Xinyan was going to bid on to give to her fiance as a wedding gift. In her eyes, it’s a gift, in someone else’s, it’s just a vase…”

“Doesn’t this implicitly suggest that Gu Heng is not even as good as a vase?”

“Pfft… not even as good as a vase, oh my, you’re killing me with laughter.”

Gu Heng’s handsome face suddenly darkened, and Su Xinyan’s face was equally grim, their expressions far from pleasant.

The teasing voices in the venue only added to their embarrassment.

Lin Siya touched her nose awkwardly, and seeing the unhappy looks on their faces, chose not to speak.

Naturally, Su Xinyan refrained from making another bid, which would have only made the situation even more awkward.

She bit her lip, looking at Gu Heng beside her with an aggrieved and regretful expression, her pale face full of disappointment.

Gu Heng squeezed her hand gently and said soothingly,

“It’s okay, it’s the thought that counts.”

Su Xinyan shook her head, “I originally wanted to bid on it to give it to you as a gift, but…”

As she spoke, her gaze swept unintentionally toward Su Ran, her expression one of mournful sadness.

Lin Siya patted her shoulder gently and comforted in a soft voice,

“Don’t be disappointed, there are many more items to be auctioned, and we’re sure to find something even more suitable to give to President Gu.”

Su Xinyan sighed and nodded.

Seeing her mood improve slightly, Lin Siya continued,

“Look at this Jade Hairpin, Xinyan. It’s thoroughly translucent and has a lustrous color. It’s very beautiful, right? Don’t lose heart, the real show for you is just coming up.”

Soon the Jade Hairpin was brought up on stage, with a starting price of 1 million.

“1.2 million.”

Gu Heng was the first to hold up his paddle and bid, with Su Xinyan sitting beside him smiling sweetly.

Others quickly followed suit.

“1.3 million.”

“1.5 million.”

“1.6 million.”

Gu Heng raised his paddle again, “1.8 million.”

“1.9 million.”

“2 million.”

“…”

The bidding was ongoing, with quite a few competitors.

Women love jewelry, and at this moment, men eager to win the favor of a beauty naturally did not want to fall behind.

Compared to the early antique vase that had collectible value, this small Jade Hairpin was clearly more popular. The bidding became more intense, and the price climbed ever higher.

“2.2 million.”

“2.3 million.”

“3 million.”

Gu Heng directly bid 3 million, jumping up by 700,000, and once again, drew many sideways glances.

Noticing the stares from around the room, Su Xinyan wore a proud face and joyfully clung to Gu Heng’s arm.

“Brother Heng, thank you!”

Gu Heng smiled gently at her and affectionately patted her hand.

“As long as you like it.”

“These two, always flaunting their affection no matter when or where.”

“President Gu really dotes on Xinyan so much. If it’s something Xinyan likes, he doesn’t even frown.”

“Now this Jade Hairpin, along with the previous items, my god, tens of millions have been spent just like that.”

Lin Siya raised her eyebrows and lifted her proud chin as she spoke:

“Tens of millions are nothing to President Gu, a mere trifle. The main thing is Xinyan likes it.”

“This is why it’s important to find a good man, the Gu Family is prominent and wealthy, but the Su Family is not inferior, a perfect match!”

“To win Xinyan’s smile, President Gu is really not stingy at all. Xinyan, you’re so lucky!”

At that moment, Gu Heng also spoke up, “As long as Xinyan likes it, everything is worth it.”

Xinyan’s face was full of happiness, “Brother Heng, thank you for everything you’ve done for me.”

Their happy appearance made others envious.

“Tsk, tsk, I must hand it to them for this wave of PDA.”

“Don’t stop, I can keep watching.”

Perhaps to make up for the face they had just lost, the whispers of a few people were not concealed.

Showy, provocative, each phrase seemed to target Su Ran.

Su Ran let out a light snort, undisturbed.

While the others were feeling smug, the expressionless Fu Qiyuan slowly raised his sign with a cold voice–

“10 million.”

The expressions of Gu Heng and Xinyan changed suddenly, and they all looked in the direction of Fu Qiyuan.

Fu Qiyuan sat there calmly, appearing indifferent, not giving them a single glance.

Surprised, Su Ran turned to look at him; the item didn’t seem like something she would need.

A hint of darkness flickered in Fu Qiyuan’s deep eyes, as if he understood the expression on her face, he stared at her and said, “How so?”

“What?” Su Ran was surprised again.

Fu Qiyuan’s lips curved up, his gaze settled on her beautiful hair, “To put up your hair.”

“…”

“…”

Damn, can they even play like this?

A 10 million Jade Hairpin just to put up hair?

Are these two devils?

Fu Qiyuan’s indifferent gaze fell on the auctioneer on stage, who swallowed hard.

“10 million once.”

“10 million twice.”

“10 million three times.”

“Sold.”

It wasn’t until the hammer fell with a “thud” that everyone snapped back to reality.

The auctioneer wiped the sweat from his forehead, President Fu’s nonchalant look had almost scared him to death.

Looking down at the man below the stage, he was imposing and refined, albeit somewhat intimidating.

Everyone’s gaze kept shifting between Fu Qiyuan and Su Ran.

“A 2 million Jade Screen Pot used as a flower vase? A 1 million Jade Hairpin for putting up hair? Who thought they could do that?”

“They are rich, what can’t they do as they please?”

“On one side they spend 3 million like it’s a treasure, on the other, someone uses a 1 million hairpin as just that–a hair accessory. No comparison, no harm felt.”

“Thinking about their earlier show-off attitudes, man, my second-hand embarrassment is kicking in!”

“Did they really think the Gu Family was the only powerful one? Don’t understand the wisdom of being humble and low-key?”

Xinyan was so angry she clenched her teeth; the item she liked ended up in Su Ran’s hands.

Ever since they were young, only she was supposed to take things from Su Ran, not the other way around.

That bitch had not only taken her stuff but did so in such a disgusting way.

“This is too much, clearly it was something Xinyan wanted.”

“To irritate someone with such a method, disgusting, shameless!”

“Nothing but a vixen, skilled in the art of seduction.”

People’s sarcastic comments were endless, yet Gu Heng’s gaze wandered vaguely in Su Ran’s direction.

Who would have thought Xiao Ran could be so cherished!
