Chapter 817

Back and forth, there was no sign of stopping.

Finally, the bid reached 35 million.

Gu Lao furrowed his brows, "Is the little girl from the Xu family so stubborn today?"

35 million far exceeded the value of the item itself.

Shu Xia looked back at Xu Zihan again.

Xu Zihan's lips curled up, looking even more smug; it was a sense of pride innate to her, and no matter how many messy thoughts Shu Xia had, she was inferior in front of her.

35 million was not a small amount.

She did not believe Gu Lao would continue to compete with her just to make Shu Xia happy.

After the staff member called out 35 million three times, she smiled.

Shu Xia withdrew her gaze.

Gu Lao frowned and said, "I will remind her grandfather about this later."

Shu Xia nodded, not saying anything.

Immediately after, a few more items were auctioned off.

Next was an Ancient Painting.

It was preserved very well, with a starting price of 3 million.

The other two problematic items had already been won by Gu Lao, but for this painting, Gu Lao and Xu Zihan bid back and forth several times, and it was again won by Xu Zihan at a high price.

Shu Xia cast a thoughtful glance at the somewhat smug Xu Zihan.

Xu Zihan smiled nonchalantly toward Shu Xia.

To her, money had never meant anything; it was just a few numbers.

Seeing her spend lavishly to win two items, Shu Xia must be feeling very uncomfortable inside, right?

At any time, wanting to rely on a man to achieve one's goals would end in nothing.

Today, she would teach Shu Xia a good lesson.

Gu Lao's face was grim, "Brother Xu has always been frugal and would never act so recklessly; even if these two items were good, they are far from worth this price. She, however, is throwing money around like dirt."

Shu Xia picked up her phone and took a look; Qiao Muting had sent her a message a few minutes ago, saying they were going to visit Qiao Nainai together that evening.

She typed "good" and replied.

When leaving the auction, Gu Lao got into his car and left first, and Shu Xia went to get her car.

As a result, she ran into Xu Zihan again.

"The last time I met you, you were with Jiang Tu, and this time you are with Gu Lao. Shu Xia, you surprise me." Xu Zihan's tone was cold, her expression somewhat arrogant.

If it were before, she wouldn't have bothered to say a single word to a girl like Shu Xia who was mercenary and would stop at nothing to sell her own body, for fear of dirtying herself.

But now it was different; Shu Xia also had that kind of monetary transaction with Qiao Muting, and she felt uncomfortable whenever she thought about it.

A friend by her side curled her lips, staring at Shu Xia and looking her up and down.

It was as if she were looking at something dirty.

Such a person really didn't deserve for Xu Zihan to stop and say a few words, but if Xu Zihan wanted to speak, then so be it.

Shu Xia smiled faintly, "Is it my eating with Jiang Tu that surprises you, or my coming to the auction with Gu Lao that surprises you? Do you always speak so unclearly and ambiguously?"

"You!" Xu Zihan did not expect Shu Xia to retort.

"Zihan speaking to you is giving you face. What kind of thing are you? Do you really think others haven't seen what you do? Since when is a whore so shameless?" Xu Zihan's friend immediately cursed at Shu Xia.
