Chapter 522: 0512 making wedding clothes for others Chapter 522: 0512 making wedding clothes for others At this moment, the auctioneer pushed the “Beloved” back onto the stage.

Seeing this, Su Ran’s face slightly changed.

An item that had been auctioned off couldn’t possibly be brought back onto the stage for auction again, so this part had special significance.

She slightly frowned, her gaze unintentionally looking towards Gu Heng and Su Xinyan’s direction.

Gu Heng was looking tenderly at Xinyan next to him, while Su Xinyan was talking excitedly about something with Lin Siya.

Seemingly sensing Su Ran’s gaze, she happily hooked her arm through Gu Heng’s.

“Brother Heng, thank you, I really like this surprise.”

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

Su Ran narrowed her eyes slightly, having already guessed Gu Heng’s intentions clear as day.

Ha!

It seems that what they wanted tonight was not just the “Beloved.”

Looking at the Phoenix Crown and Cape on stage, Su Ran’s starry eyes had a moment of daze.

The current situation indeed echoed the old saying, making a bridal gown for someone else.

Exchanging her and her mother’s efforts for their happiness and greed.

What wishful thinking.

She was not her mother, and she definitely wouldn’t let herself end up in such a tragic state.

Her eyes twinkled slightly, the light in her pupils suddenly changed, filled with a layer of coldness.

Su Ran’s mood was slightly affected, feeling somewhat uncomfortable inside.

Fu Qiyuan’s expression also darkened, holding Su Ran’s hand in his warm palm.

Su Ran looked up at him and gently raised her eyebrows.

The host’s introduction finally came to an end; the starting bid for R’s design was 10 million.

One after another, people began to bid!

Gu Heng, like Su Ran, did not bid at first, silently watching as everyone frantically raised their paddles.

Just as the price was about to break through 50 million, Gu Heng raised his paddle.

“50 million.”

“150 million.”

Immediately after his voice fell, a deep and indifferent voice suppressed his.

Two words, complete silence throughout the venue!

“…”

“…”

“…”

The crowd stiffly turned their heads toward the source of the voice, just in time to see Fu Qiyuan lowering his bidding paddle.

In their shock, they couldn’t help but twitch their lips.

The starting bid was 10 million, they had raised to 50 million, and this tycoon directly bid 150 million.

A leap of 100 million, how were they supposed to compete with that?

Not everyone can be as bold as you, right?

Gu Heng was equally shocked, abruptly turning his head to look at Fu Qiyuan, only to see him sitting there, calm and collected, exuding a cold and distinguished air, without even giving Gu Heng a glance.

Then looking at Su Ran beside him, equally cool and serious, the two did not show any affectionate gestures, yet they gave off an impression that no one could be a better match for each other than them.

Gu Heng’s face showed a moment of blankness, which then turned into an expression full of conflict.

Spending a few billion in one night, even for a big family like the Gu’s, it was unsustainable for them to splurge like this.

But…

Looking again at the “Beloved” put aside on stage, if he didn’t continue to bid, how would he wrap up the evening?

Gu Heng tiredly pinched the bridge of his nose, wondering why everything that was well-arranged was now going off the rails.

And Su Xinyan, who had been enjoying the envious gazes of everyone, turned green. She had not expected such a twist of events.

The man had directly bid one billion. The prize that should have been in her bag was snatched away yet again, and to have it happen in front of so many people was an embarrassment. Where could she put her face?

“Brother Heng…”

Su Xinyan, trembling with anger, cast a pleading look towards Gu Heng.

Tonight, in front of the reporters, they had made a statement. If they gave up now, wouldn’t it be incredibly embarrassing?

Gu Heng naturally didn’t want to give up either. Upon receiving Su Xinyan’s expectant and fragile gaze, his hesitant face flickered with a sign of relenting.

“President Gu, you can’t just give up like that. This is the surprise you were going to give to Xinyan, and she’s really looking forward to it!”

“This is a design by R. So many people are vying for it!”

“Plus, the international competition is coming up soon. Getting a piece by R now will definitely be beneficial for her contest and ranking.”

“Yeah, perhaps Xinyan could find some inspiration from R’s work and design something even more impressive than R’s designs.”

Su Xinyan clutched Gu Heng’s arm tightly, her voice earnest and urgent.

“R is my idol. I don’t dream of surpassing him, but playing to my strengths and avoiding weaknesses will definitely be beneficial.”

Gu Heng frowned deeply without a word.

His gaze inadvertently strayed in the direction of Su Ran, as he saw her speaking with Fu Qiyuan, the smile on her face more radiant and coquettish than he had ever seen.

Perhaps sensing Gu Heng’s look, Fu Qiyuan turned his head and saw his distracted gaze on Su Ran.

A hint of danger flashed in his eyes. With a slight shift of his body, he blocked Gu Heng’s view.

Gu Heng had no choice but to avert his gaze, his eyebrows contracted imperceptibly. He could feel Fu Qiyuan’s hostility toward him. The mentality of not admitting defeat in front of a love rival led him to raise his paddle without a thought.

“150 million.”

Another bid of 150 million. The entire room erupted into chaos!

Su Xinyan nervously prayed that no one else would continue to bid.

She subconsciously looked up in the direction of Su Ran and Fu Qiyuan. The corners of their lips were curved up in a similar arc, yet they did not seem inclined to continue bidding.

A sense of relief washed over her!

Then came waves of excitement and joy.

The Auctioneer on stage was taken aback for a moment, his gaze unintentionally falling on Su Ran and Fu Qiyuan.

The most likely to bid were these two.

However, he didn’t get a bid from either of them. Instead, he saw their hands clasped together. After a second of being taken aback, he forced himself to look away.

He wasn’t ready to die so early!

“Mr. Gu Heng’s bid stands at 150 million. Will anyone continue to bid? 150 million once.”

“150 million twice.”

“150 million three times.”

“Sold…”

The Auctioneer was about to finalize the sale when he met Fu Qiyuan’s seemingly indifferent, but clearly warning, gaze.

He swallowed hard, and the word “sold” along with his action slid back down his throat.

Could someone tell him what was going on? President Fu wasn’t bidding, but he didn’t want the hammer to fall either, was that it?

However, the others didn’t notice this little interlude. All attention was on Gu Heng’s lavish spending.

They had already started to voice their amazed compliments.

“The Gu family is truly wealthy, just like that another 150 million is spent!”

“Su Xinyan is really lucky, her fiance is willing to spend so much money to surprise her!”

“For the Gu’s, this is but a drop in the bucket. The most important thing is the sentiment.”

“Hahaha, indeed, congratulations to the both of you!”

Faced with everyone’s compliments, Gu Heng nodded modestly, but inwardly he breathed a sigh of relief, glad not to continue any further as it was getting to be too much for him.

Su Xinyan affectionately linked her arm with Gu Heng’s. The compliments of the crowd gave her great satisfaction internally, and her face displayed a radiant expression of happiness.
