No wonder they always said that beauties were trouble …

Thinking about it now, there were many things that made sense. Countless men had been destroyed by the hands of women, and the Duke of Zhou and Wu Sanguan were both furious because of their beauties … King You of Zhou and Wu Sangui are idiots? No matter how foolish a general was, a sovereign was better than Zheng Xuan. In front of a woman, they could not even hold back, let alone a Zheng Xuan.

Furthermore, Wu Yuexi was definitely a beauty, but it was hard to say if it was a disaster or not. In any case, Gu Shaoqiang believed that there was no difference between a disaster and a disaster now, because Zheng Xuan had basically started to throw away his armor.

Zheng Xuan's voice sounded after his round of applause, filled with the feeling that he was going to win.

"2.5 million!"

The resounding and bold voice caused a roar of laughter in the hall. Only after Zheng Xuan finished speaking did he realize that he had lost control of himself.

It's hard to say what's the price, but it just had to increase to 2.5 million.

Right now, even Wu Yuexi, who had always been at a loss, couldn't help but laugh, and there were only two people who didn't laugh in the whole audience. One of them was Zheng Boen, whose expression had slightly changed, and the other one was a calm Gu Shaoqiang, although in Gu Shaoqiang's eyes, Zheng Xuan really did seem to resemble a 250 person, but it was very easy to tell that Wu Yuexi had already imperceptibly influenced Zheng Xuan. This was one of the reasons why Gu Shaoqiang had brought her here, but it was still too early to say whether he had won or lost, and there was still a distance between his goal.

Although Zheng Xuan had unknowingly lost his composure, the one who had played the game this time around was Wu Yuexi. After Zheng Xuan announced his bid of 2.5 million, everyone turned their gazes to Wu Yuexi, taking joy in her misfortune.

2.5 million for an inkstone...

As for what exactly she was doing, she didn't even have time to react. It was as if the money that was being spent here today was nothing more than a piece of scrap paper that could be sold for a million with a single mouth. And the most troublesome thing was that she didn't have 2.5 million.

Cary had no more than three hundred thousand dollars. He wanted to come to Paris to compete, but now he had enough. But here he was bidding 2.5 million, lifting up a piece of broken inkstone that no matter how you looked at it, it was worth nothing, and his entire body was filled with eyes. If Wu Yuexi did not keep her smiling so much that it would make her cramp up, she would have already cried.

So when Zheng Xuan increased the bid to 2.5 million, Wu Yuexi finally looked at Gu Shaoqiang with an extremely pleading gaze, as if she was a drowning man grabbing onto the last straw of hope. Since this repulsive man had pushed him into the eyes of so many people, the only person who could drag him ashore right now was him.

From the corner of his eyes, Gu Shaoqiang saw that Wu Yuexi was panicking. Other than the smiling accident that she had been trying hard to control, there was suddenly a tinge of pity as she had never let a woman who had experienced such a situation face things alone, it was true that it had been difficult for her. Although Wu Yuexi was a little dumb, but at least she was really cute.

His deep and crafty eyes met his own!

Right now, Zheng Boen was using a modified version of his gaze to look at himself. Zheng Boen was observing Wu Yuexi and the others. He was still looking at himself … Gu Shaoqiang did not avoid her eyes that made people uneasy. He continued to drink while looking at Zheng Boen in the eyes.

In the noisy reception hall, no one noticed that there was a hidden battle between the two of them. It was only when Zheng Boen calmly turned his head back, did a soul-stirring battle finally come to an end.

Zheng Boen was far more powerful and terrifying than he had imagined.

Although the exchange of blows only lasted for a few seconds, and might even be shorter, Gu Shaoqiang believed that he had already used all of his strength to reach Zheng Boen's unstoppable attack. However, in reality, Zheng Boen looked extremely relaxed, as though he had not used any strength at all.

When he thought of this, Gu Shaoqiang couldn't help but frown. Maybe his estimation of Zheng Boen was wrong again.

Wu Yuexi thought that Gu Shaoqiang's current expression was one of someone who wanted to make a fool out of himself. Even though he begged for his help out of helplessness, this repulsive man seemed to be indifferent to his request.

Since it's like this …

Since you're not afraid, then what am I afraid of!

Wu Yuexi looked at Gu Shaoqiang with extreme disgust and contempt, and thought that since she was brought here by Gu Shaoqiang and Gu Shaoqiang wanted to see him embarrassed, she might as well let this evil man down first.

Wu Yuexi didn't even want to raise her hand anymore. She already understood that this kind of performance would probably never end. Either she would choose to leave now, or the man who had been raising the price with her decided to give up.

Why didn't he choose to leave …

This question was a question that Wu Yuexi had asked him more than once afterwards. If she had chosen to leave at that time, then she would not have gotten entangled with this evil man in the future.

Do you regret it?

No!

Every time he was asked this question, Wu Yuexi would answer without thinking.

Perhaps this damned man is destined to be your life's destiny!

This was the only explanation that Gu Shaoqiang would give her after a few years. However, it was obvious that Wu Yuexi was very satisfied with this answer!

"No matter how much money you add, I still have 20 thousand more than you!"

Wu Yuexi said while gnashing her teeth after drinking the champagne in front of him.

"AHH!"

It was only then that Gu Shaoqiang realized what had happened after he and Zheng Boen had met eyes on each other.

When Wu Yuexi saw Gu Shaoqiang, who was greatly shocked, she finally revealed a pleased smile for the first time that night. It turned out that this man also had times where she didn't know what to do, and Wu Yuexi's pleased expression matched the helplessness and shock on her face right now, as if Gu Shaoqiang's heartfelt feelings of satisfaction and happiness at being the victor caused Gu Shaoqiang to have such a reaction.

She did not realize that the hall, where one could hear even a needle drop, had fallen silent after she finished speaking. Almost half of the people present had opened their mouths, and Wu Yuexi was the only one still laughing.

It was only until she realised that Gu Shaoqiang was looking at her strangely did she realize that everyone was looking at her in the same way. But now, Wu Yuexi did not know what he had done wrong.

In his plans, Gu Shaoqiang never planned to win against Zheng Xuan at this auction, in fact, he couldn't win at all. His only goal was to use Wu Yuexi and Zheng Xuan's words to make everyone remember Wu Yuexi, and when Zheng Xuan raised the price to 250, Gu Shaoqiang confirmed that he had reached his goal, and then indicated that Wu Yuexi would stop after seeing him. However, because he had forgotten to remind her when they were looking at each other, he didn't expect that this stupid and hopeless woman would actually say such bold and shocking words.

Right now, Gu Shaoqiang could completely believe that everyone would remember Wu Yuexi, it was just that the method was different from what he had imagined, but he could be sure that Wu Yuexi didn't even know how great of a mistake she had made. According to his understanding of Zheng Xuan, how could such a prideful and arrogant person lose face in front of so many people? It would be good if Zheng Xuan continued to win without holding back like before, and when Zheng Xuan offered a price, he would be able to make Wu Yuexi choose to give up the bidding. Twenty million... In any case, the initiative was currently in Zheng Xuan's hands, so any casual price would be enough to force Wu Yuexi into it for no reason at all.

Slowly, everyone began to shift their gaze away from Wu Yuexi towards Zheng Xuan. Gu Shaoqiang believed that a large majority of people present had their own thoughts, so this rather dramatic accident had already completely turned into a direct provocation. And the target was directly facing Zheng Xuan and his Zheng Clan's Venture Capital Group.

Gu Shaoqiang's palms were now completely covered in sweat. If Zheng Xuan wanted to strangle Wu Yuexi, it would be as simple as strangling an ant. He clenched his teeth tightly to make himself look as natural and calm as possible, while Wu Yuexi seemed to not understand in the slightest what was going on as she smiled proudly at Gu Shaoqiang.

"Hehe …" I thought you could really hold it in for anything. Haha, I didn't expect you to have such a tense time, hahaha! "

Facing Wu Yuexi who was still as mindless as ever, Gu Shaoqiang powerlessly closed his eyes. Other than wanting to die, Gu Shaoqiang had more thoughts, if only … Although it was impossible for there to be such a thing in this world, Gu Shaoqiang was still willing to believe that if he was allowed to choose again, he wouldn't choose this stupid woman even if he was beaten to death. It was indeed easy to be with a stupid woman, but the troubles and disasters she brought were limitless.

The monotonous but powerful applause reached his ears.

Gu Shaoqiang suddenly opened his eyes. There were too many dramatic scenes tonight, so Gu Shaoqiang was not surprised anymore.

Zheng Xuan politely smilingly said loudly to Wu Yuexi's elegant palm.

I didn't expect that today's charity auction would be more lively than the previous ones. Every year, the Zheng family's Venture Capital Group would take the lead, and I guess everyone is tired of this boring result. To tell the truth, I feel heartache for spending so much money every year!

"Hahaha …"

Towards Zheng Xuan's humorous and infectious speech, it quickly garnered the applause and laughter from the audience, this sudden turn of events made even Gu Shaoqiang somewhat at a loss of what to do.
