The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

As Wu Nan expected, Xu Yiyu weighed the pros and cons for a long time in his mind, but ultimately did not make an offer for this bronze wine jar from the Han Dynasty.

"Baby, I can take a picture of this or not. Do you like it? If you like it, I'll take a picture of it for you."

Bronze ware of such an ancient age is extremely valuable due to its rarity in unearthed quantities, so she expected many people to scramble for it. However, her interest in the wine vessel was not as high as those who offered high prices, so it didn't matter to her whether she bid or not.

"No, although bronze artifacts from the Han Dynasty are rare, I'm not too interested in this kind of thing. If you don't like it, you don't have to rush to buy it."

Lu Sanshi had good eyesight and could see the entire picture of the wine jar on the table clearly. After discovering that this ancient object was not his cup of tea, he gave Xu Yiyu some pertinent advice.

After hearing what Sanshi said, Xu Yiyu nodded, took the snacks on the small mahogany table into his arms, and also stuffed a plate into Lu Sanshi's arms.

Ever since the venue staff learned that the two people in Box 6 liked to eat the pastries they prepared in advance, they would put two more plates in Box 6 after cleaning and decorating it every day. They also specially used plates that were much larger than the ones on the first and second days, just to prepare more for the two foodie guests.

Although the two people who had turned on the spectator mode started to move their mouths non-stop, their eyes never left the auction table downstairs. Instead, they were very curious about what price this bronze wine jar would be sold at in the end.

As the bidding information continued to scroll on the electronic screen, the price had been raised from 1 million to 2 million. Xu Yiyu raised his eyebrows, silently put another piece of plum cake into his mouth, and tasted it with relish.

With the appearance of the bid of 2 million, the refresh frequency of the information on the electronic screen stagnated for a long time. Just when Xu Yiyu thought that the wine bottle would be sold at this already high price, another new bid information was refreshed on the huge electronic screen.

Looking at the offer of 3 million, Xu Yiyu glanced in the direction of the box on the second floor where the Wu family was, feeling somewhat surprised.

"The head of the Wu family is so interested in wine vessels... I didn't notice it at all when we were dealing with each other before."

What Lu Sanshi said was exactly what Xu Yiyu was thinking, and he inadvertently served as her mouthpiece once again.

"Is there a possibility that the bronze wine jar is not what the Wu family head wants, but what Wu Nan wants?"

Recalling Wu Nan's straightforward and decisive character, she believed that it was his daughter who had a preference for wine vessels rather than Wu Chen.

"Baby, what you said is true. When we were having dinner at Junshan Pavilion before, I noticed that Wu Nan seemed to be very knowledgeable about various types of wine. Whether it was foreign red wine or our Chinese white wine and yellow wine, she seemed to be able to talk about the origins and sources of these wines fluently."

Xu Yiyu also remembered the meal she had with Wu Nan and others at Junshan Pavilion before the auction. Although she and Lu Sanshi did not drink alcohol due to personal habit, Wu Nan and Zhang Qingwan, who were sitting diagonally opposite them, drank quite a lot.

Zhang Qingwan, who had the demeanor of a lady from a noble family, could drink quite well. Perhaps it was because of her good relationship with Wu Nan, but she was very knowledgeable about the several kinds of wine that appeared at the banquet.

As if in response to Xu Yiyu's thoughts, the huge electronic screen above the auction table refreshed another bidding information.

"Five hundred million...Xiao Wanwan, you are really willing to invest."

Wu Nan looked at the bid from the Gu family in the box, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the gleam in his eyes became brighter.

Wu Chen certainly understood his daughter's thoughts. He also had no intention of giving in to the Gu family, so he pressed a string of numbers on the bidder and sent it out without saying a word.

When the bid of 6 million appeared on the electronic screen, Zhang Qingwan, who was sitting in the Gu family's box, whispered something in her uncle Gu Liang's ear.

"I usually see you have such a good relationship with the girl from the Wu family, but every time when it comes to competing, you never give in to her. You are worthy of being my sister's child."

The actual strength of the Gu family and the Wu family is basically evenly matched. If they really compete, it is definitely not something that can be ended by just 6 million.

As expected, the desire to win in Zhang Qingwan's eyes was successfully aroused by the bidding information, and she faintly revealed a sense of having met a worthy opponent.

Xiaonan, I know you won't give in to me.

So, I will definitely not let you go!

When the ordinary guests on the first floor saw the two big guys starting to compete upstairs, many of them began to talk.

"The bids are so tight, it looks like these two are determined to fight it out."

"What do you care about? Who are we? Who are those people upstairs? Maybe their competition is a pre-planned script, and their purpose is to raise the price of today's bronze wine jar!"

"Are you overthinking it? A Han Dynasty bronze wine jar is so rare that its value can be auctioned at a very high price even without deliberately raising it. Even if those two are not short of money, it is unlikely that they will focus on the first item. Too much premium is not always a good thing."

"That makes sense."

……

The discussions of the people downstairs were one after another. Xu Yiyu was eating cakes in the box while listening to the similar analysis and speculations of those people downstairs. As the content of their discussions became more and more outrageous, the curve of Xu Yiyu's lips gradually began to be suppressed.

Well... it cannot be said that it is completely unreasonable. It can only be said that the guests downstairs do not know enough about the behavior styles of the owners, and the direction of their guesses and analysis is a bit biased.

Wu Chen and Gu Liang were not affected at all by the discussions of the guests downstairs, and they continued to bid against each other. Xu Yiyu had been paying close attention to the bids of the two big guys on the electronic screen, and felt that the purpose of their bidding seemed to be gradually becoming different from the beginning as the bids became higher and higher.

When Gu Liang sent the bidding information of 12 billion, Zhang Qingwan, who had been watching her uncle bid silently, sighed in her heart and finally stopped Gu Liang from continuing to bid.

"Uncle, although the bronze wine jar is precious, it is not an item that must be auctioned. Although the amount of funds prepared by the Gu family for today is huge, there is no need to raise the price so high at the beginning."

Next to Gu Liang sat a cheongsam beauty whose face and features were somewhat similar to Zhang Qingwan's, but already showing some signs of aging. She tilted her head slightly to glance at Zhang Qingwan who was sitting behind Gu Liang, and raised her hand to pull Gu Liang's sleeve.

"Xiao Wan is right. Your main goal today is not this Han Dynasty wine jar, and there is no need to fight to the death with the Wu family."

As soon as the cheongsam beauty finished speaking, she turned around and winked at Zhang Qingwan mischievously, and secretly made a victory gesture to Zhang Qingwan.

Zhang Qingwan tilted her head and pursed her lips, suddenly feeling a little embarrassed.

As expected of her mother, the intensity of her words never disappoints her.
