If it had been anyone else, Guan Xiao might not have said anything and might have given in. But to Xu Nuolin, she only wanted to tell her two words, dream.
Xu Nuolin's face became more and more ugly. Seeing that the auctioneer was about to drop the hammer, she had no time to argue with Guan Xiao. She looked at Gu Yuan anxiously and said: "Gu Yuan, my dad is also interested in this diamond, so you can't
Will you give me this opportunity?"
Gu Yuan finally reacted, glanced at her lightly, and uttered two words: "No."
Xu Nuolin almost fell down in anger. Just when she was about to raise her placard again, the auctioneer had already dropped the hammer.
"boom."
"Congratulations to this gentleman, you bought this rare diamond for 170 million."
It was difficult for someone to deliver the diamond to Gu Yuan quickly.
Gu Yuan changed hands and handed the box containing the diamonds to Guan Xiao.
Guan Xiao smiled at him with a smile on her face, opened the box, and looked at the diamonds dazzling under the light, feeling very happy in her heart.
"It's Tuantuan and Tutu's birthday soon. Then we can polish these diamonds into necklaces and cufflinks and give them to them."
Gu Yuan's eyes were full of endearment, and the corner of his mouth curved: "As long as you like it."
The last lot has ended, and the auction has naturally ended.
The cruise ship didn't know where to go and it had already docked at the shore.
Everyone left in twos and threes, and Gu Yuan also hugged Guan Xiao and prepared to leave.
At this time, Xu Nuolin suddenly appeared and stood in front of the two of them. Her face was very ugly at this time, and she looked at Gu Yuan with dissatisfaction.
"Gu Yuan, don't you even give my father face?"
Facing her questioning tone, Gu Yuan's face darkened.
"The bidding is fair, the one with the highest price wins. Can't Miss Xu afford to lose?"
Xu Nuolin bit her lower lip and looked at him sadly: "How can you say that? It's just a diamond, so what if you give it to me? If you do this, you won't be afraid of affecting the cooperation between the two companies.
?"
She said this more than once, and was threatened many times. Gu Yuan already hated her, and now he didn't even want to see her, so he took Guan Xiao in his arms and was about to leave.
Seeing that he was unmoved and even ignored her, Xu Nuolin was so angry that she reached out to pull Gu Yuan's clothes without thinking.
Suddenly, a figure stood in front of her.
Xu Nuolin raised her eyes, met Tang Ze's cold eyes, and subconsciously took a step back.
"Duke Boqian is not the only person Gu can cooperate with, and this is the country, not a place where you can do whatever you want." Tang Ze warned Xu Nuolin.
If she still doesn't have any self-awareness, he doesn't mind teaching her how to behave.
Xu Nuolin choked, this was indeed China, so she was afraid of doing anything, otherwise she would have killed Guan Xiao long ago.
Seeing that she was honest, Tang Ze stopped paying attention to her. Instead, he looked at Gu Yuan and Guan Xiao and said, "Let's go. There is no need to say anything to irrelevant people."
Guan Xiao gave Xu Nuolin a meaningful look, took Gu Yuan's arm, and they left together.
Seeing that several people were about to leave, Xu Nuolin was unwilling to face Gu Yuan's back and shouted angrily: "Gu Yuan, I hope you won't regret what happened today."
Several people got off the ship. Tang Ze looked at Sun Lin beside him and said, "It's getting late. I'll take you back."
"Thank you, Mr. Tang." Sun Lin thanked her and said goodbye to Guan Xiao.
After watching the two people leave, Guan Xiao got into the car and left with Gu Yuan.
However, not long after the car drove out, Guan Xiao realized that the scenery outside was not the way home. She turned to look at Gu Yuan with doubt in her eyes: "Where are you going?"
"I'll take you somewhere and you'll know when you get there."
Gu Yuan deliberately put it off and then said no more.
Seeing this, Guan Xiao didn't ask any questions. He would never sell himself anyway. He would naturally find out when he got to the place.
after an hour.
Guan Xiao sat in a private restaurant. The decoration of the restaurant was very elegant, with greenery everywhere, bamboo tables and chairs, and a cluster of unknown flowers on the table. Under the warm light, the ground was paved with
The white carpet is dyed with a bit of warmth.
At this time, Guan Xiao also understood what Gu Yuan wanted to do by bringing him here.
"Hey, what a rare visitor! Why do you have time to come to my place?"
A gentle voice sounded slightly surprised.
Guan Xiao looked around and saw a woman in a brocade cheongsam with her hair tied up and delicate makeup on her face walking towards them.
The woman looked to be in her thirties and had a very well-proportioned figure. When Guan Xiao looked at her, she couldn't help but have a look of amazement in her eyes.
"Aunt Qing."
Gu Yuan stood up with a smile and said hello to the person opposite.
Seeing him like this, Guan Xiao also stood up and nodded towards the visitor.
The woman who was called Aunt Qing pursed her lips and chuckled, then waved her hands towards the two of them.
"Sit down, why are you so polite to me?"
After a few people sat down, Aunt Qing raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at Gu Yuan teasingly and asked, "Why don't you introduce me to me, who is this?"
"Xiaoxiao, this is Aunt Qing, my mother's best friend and the proprietress of this private restaurant."
Gu Yuan held Guan Xiao's hand and gave a brief introduction to the two of them.
In fact, he would rather say that Xiaoxiao belongs to his wife, but the two are not married yet, and Gu Yuan wants to marry her back as soon as possible.
Aunt Qing's eyes fell on her body and looked at her, just for a simple look, with no other meaning.
Therefore, Guan Xiao didn't think anything was wrong and allowed her to look at him. He also followed Gu Yuan's words and called someone generously.
"Aunt Qing."
"Why!"
Aunt Qing responded with a smile. She obviously had a good impression of Guan Xiao. She looked at Guan Xiao lovingly and said softly: "Have you ordered? Do you want me to recommend some signature dishes for you to try?"
"Ayuan has already ordered them. They are all Aunt Qing's signature dishes." Guan Xiao nodded with a smile on her face.
After hearing what she said, Aunt Qing didn't say much, but picked up the tea set on the table and started making tea.
"The food will have to wait for a while. Let's try this tea first. This year's new tea tastes pretty good."
Aunt Qing's movements are smooth and flowing, and her movements of washing and brewing tea are very elegant. It is a visual enjoyment to watch, at least that's what Guan Xiao thinks.
After a while, after the tea was brewed, Aunt Qing poured a cup, placed it in front of Guan Xiao first, and then poured herself another cup.
"Try it and see."
Guan Xiao picked up the tea in front of her and took a sip. The aroma of tea filled the tip of her nose. It was slightly bitter in the mouth, but the aftertaste was sweet.
After she put down the tea cup, she said: "Aunt Qing is very good at making tea, and the tea is not bad, but..."
Halfway through his words, Guan Xiao suddenly stopped.
