The happy life of the landlady

Chapter 307 Goodbye "Little Expert at Deceiving People"

Speaking of which, this was the first time Du Mengqi met such a crazy and excited reporter after he took over the Xinghui Group and made repeated appearances in front of the public!
Therefore, at this moment, Du Mengqi felt a rare feeling of remorse and regret in her heart, for fear that Xu Lijuan, who suddenly saw this scene, would be frightened, or would say something she shouldn't have said in panic, and thus become afraid of the reporters heart of.

Keenly aware of the worries in Du Mengqi's heart, Xu Lijuan also raised her head the moment Du Mengqi looked at her, returned a bright smile to Du Mengqi, and then answered the reporters' questions unhurriedly. The generous posture and self-confidence from the bottom of the heart only made Du Mengqi's heart in his throat immediately fall back to the original place, and then answered the reporters' questions with the same calm attitude.

At this moment, Du Mengqi and Xu Lijuan let everyone know what is called "extremely familiar tacit understanding" - any question that Xu Lijuan has answered, Du Mengqi will not answer a second time, correspondingly, Xu Lijuan also If so.And even the questions that Du Mengqi answered first were very suitable for Xu Lijuan's current situation. Every sentence could make a group of reporters who are good at digging gossip find countless hot spots.

Of course, among them, Du Mengqi and Xu Lijuan's appearance and unique temperament, which can be described as "peerless", also made the reporters avoid some bad questions subconsciously. It was all considered and considered, for fear of causing any bad impression on Du Mengqi and Xu Lijuan.

This is something Du Mengqi has never experienced before, and it is even more unacceptable to Gu Wanwan, who was ridiculed by the reporters just now!

If Gu Wanwan used to surf the Internet often, she would involuntarily sigh like this - she is already desperate for this face-seeking world!

……

Today, Xu Lijuan is wearing a light yellow dress with delicate and gorgeous workmanship but without losing the innocent and charming atmosphere of a girl. Her long hair is tied into a side bun with a white pearl hairpin. Very charming.

Yellow is a naive and delicate color, suitable for children to wear. If older people wear it, it will inevitably make people think that they are not dignified, unable to suppress or pretend to be tender. A real noble girl will never choose bright yellow. However, this hidden rule was broken by Xu Lijuan!

Gu Wanwan, who hadn't worn a bright yellow dress since she was 13, bit her lip. Although she had noticed that Xu Lijuan's skin was very good when they met a few times before, it was only when Xu Lijuan was young that she could have that " "White as jade" skin, when you get older, you will be as haggard and dull as other people, and you can only rely on the many bottles and jars every day to keep yourself as beautiful as ever.

But, right now, when she saw Du Mengqi standing next to Xu Lijuan, who was more than a year older than Xu Lijuan next year, but whose skin was the same as Xu Lijuan's, these thoughts in Gu Wanwan's heart were immediately shaken. Emotions such as jealousy and resentment that have not disappeared grow wildly like weeds irrigated by spring rain.

Of course, what made Gu Wanwan most angry was that those journalists who followed the wind didn't know how many benefits they had received from Du Mengqi and Xu Lijuan. All the questions they asked were praises of the two, and even the shutter of the camera in their hands kept shutting down. Press it down, as if those films don't cost money, and the performance when I saw her just now can be described as "one is in heaven and the other is in hell"!
Could it be that Xu Lijuan was involved in today's scene?
When this idea that Gu Wanwan had given up without hesitation reappeared, Gu Wanwan's imagination flashed across her mind for an instant, and the hand placed by her side clenched into a fist at some point, and her beautifully manicured nails sank deeply into the palm of her hand. , to remind myself that I must never embarrass myself in public.

In the end, Gu Wanwan took another deep look at Du Mengqi and Xu Lijuan, who were surrounded by reporters, and then casually withdrew her gaze, not only did she not show any gratitude to Du Mengqi and Xu Lijuan for attracting the reporters' attention On the contrary, because of this, Xu Lijuan was listed on the list of "Quiet after getting rid of it", and Xu Lijuan was even ranked at the top of the list because Xu Lijuan is Fu Jianbai's girlfriend!
Even though Gu Wanwan tried her best to conceal it, Xu Lijuan, who was surrounded by reporters, was still keenly aware of the murderous aura emanating from her.

Xu Lijuan was not surprised by this point. In fact, it can be said that she had expected this point a long time ago, so she deliberately stepped on Gu Wanwan and wanted to explode after being made things difficult by a group of reporters, but she could only do it under the watchful eyes of the public. It appeared in a situation where he was suppressed for a long time——for the purpose of angering Gu Wanwan again.

It is said that "God wants to destroy people, he must first make them crazy", Xu Lijuan is not God, but she also knows how to deal with Gu Wanwan, who is as vicious as a snake and adept at calculating, and is good at using everything around her to hit the enemy hard. Even for a daughter of a wealthy family, only by arousing all the madness and bloodthirsty cruelty in Gu Wanwan's heart can she stop taking care of many reasons to attack Gu Wanwan.

At seven o'clock, the auction started on time.

In the beginning, all the items that were used by celebrities were auctioned. Occasionally, some people would raise their placards, and more people would focus on the items that were really valuable later on.There are many people who hold these placards who are the patrons of the stars. Occasionally, there will be a few people who are worried about the failure of an item and will bring embarrassment to the organizer of this auction. This is not because of these There is no change in how famous a star is in the eyes of the public.

After all, no matter how the society develops and changes, in the eyes of those aristocrats, celebrities are still like the ancient "actors", they are low-level things, and they don't deserve their respect at all, let alone spend money to auction their used items !
For such a situation, the auctioneer was already mentally prepared. Therefore, after hastily ending the auction of these items, he started the auction that really aroused the interest of these people today - antiques!
However, no matter how eloquent the auctioneer is like a lotus flower, and how to arouse the interest of everyone, in the end, only those who are really interested in a certain item will raise their cards, and more people will Make a sound to test one or two, and when you see your friends or those who need to make friends also raise their cards, they will immediately die.

Therefore, none of the items in this auction could fetch a high price, which was beyond Gu Wanwan's expectation.As long as she thinks that after the auction is over, the friends who were persuaded by her to persuade the elders of the family to hold the auction will get angry with her because of this matter, it fills Gu Wanwan with helplessness and boredom.

What annoyed Gu Wanwan the most was that the auction process was more than halfway through. Not only did Xu Lijuan not raise her placard, she even showed a flat expression as if the most common items were placed on the stage.No matter what the antiques are, they just glanced at them lightly and quickly looked away, then lowered their heads and whispered to Du Mengqi, the expression on his face did not have the slightest excitement and madness of the owner of the antique shop seeing these real antiques and wishing he could buy them all.

This kind of Xu Lijuan made Gu Wanwan involuntarily feel a weird feeling that her fists were hitting the soft cotton, and she didn't put any effort into her whole body.

The only thing that makes Gu Wanwan happy is that everyone who participated in this auction will buy at least one item, so...

As if aware of Gu Wanwan's thoughts, at this moment, Xu Lijuan suddenly raised a sign: "One hundred thousand."

Gu Wanwan raised her head subconsciously, and her eyes flicked around a pen holder with hexagonal landscape pine and bamboo displayed on the screen. In a flash of thought, information about this pen holder immediately appeared in her mind.

This item was exactly what Gu Wanwan planned to buy as a gift to Gu Lao, so, as if Gu Wanwan didn't see Xu Lijuan, she directly picked up the sign in front of her: "11."

"15." Xu Lijuan said casually. This kind of pen holder was an item during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty. Ten years later, it would sell for a high price of nearly 40. But ten years ago, this kind of antique had not yet entered the public. In the age of sight, this price needs to be marked with a discount.

Xu Lijuan raised the price by [-] casually. Compared with the [-] price increase of those people before, it is really a bit of hatred!However, when those who were also interested in this pen holder looked over, they immediately regarded Xu Lijuan as a fledgling child, and coupled with Du Mengqi's identity, they only thought about it in their hearts before giving up without hesitation. A dispute over the pen holder ended.

"18." Gu Wanwan glanced at Xu Lijuan lightly, and replied with a slight smile. It looked like Xu Lijuan was just a naughty little sister next door, who occasionally behaved so capriciously. People also forgive generously.

"25." Xu Lijuan raised her eyebrows. Originally, she was just raising a sign casually, but she didn't expect to bump into the item that Gu Wanwan was determined to win.

"28." Gu Wanwan added [-] at a time, the expression on her face did not change at all, but the bluish-white fingers that pinched the sign too hard showed that she was extremely restless at the moment.

"Mom, tell me, should I increase the price?" Xu Lijuan asked hesitantly, tapping her cheek.

"As long as you like it." Du Mengqi replied with a smile, the sternness in her eyes flashed away.As early as the moment she received the invitation, Du Mengqi knew that the auction would not be peaceful, especially when she arrived at the auction venue and walked down from the car with Xu Lijuan, Du Mengqi was even more keenly aware of Gu Wanwan's gaze. Shi Namo gave Xu Lijuan a malicious and calculating look.

This alone makes Du Mengqi, who still puts Xu Lijuan on top of her heart to take care of her pet, even though she can't reach the level of Xu's "granddaughter control", "female control", "niece control" and "sister control", feels dissatisfied .In particular, the Gu family never intentionally concealed Gu Wanwan's obsession with Fu Jianbai, and also intentionally or unintentionally released the remarks that Gu Wanwan and Fu Jianbai are childhood sweethearts, and the two families intend to get closer...

This kind of thing that even ordinary people in the circle can understand, how can Du Mengqi, who has practiced the ability of "seeing all directions and listening to all directions" in the mall for many years, not know?
In fact, the phrase "paper can't hold fire" is applicable in any situation, not to mention that no one in the circle is a fool. People find something is wrong.

However, most of the girls designed by Gu Wanwan are ordinary people with humble backgrounds, or girls from second- and third-rate small families, and there are one or two sporadic ones that are almost the same as Gu Wanwan's family background.But when playing tricks on these few people, Gu Wanwan deliberately separated herself, and only used words to lure other people to make a move, so even if the people from these families were actually tracked down, she would be able to avoid them smoothly.

What's more, these families failed to investigate the incident at the first moment. After all these years, the most suitable period for investigation has long passed.Therefore, even if Gu Wanwan's hands and feet were discovered back then, because of Gu Wanwan's identity and the powerful status of the Gu family, these people could only swallow their own bitterness, at most they would attack Gu Wanwan in private...

Most of these girls who were framed by Gu Wanwan just had a few words with Fu Jianbai, only a few of them actually had work contacts with Fu Jianbai, and almost none of them had really been favored by Fu Jianbai. However, they were still disliked by Gu Wanwan.So, now, isn't Xu Lijuan, who has officially become Fu Jianbai's girlfriend, just a thorn in Gu Wanwan's eye, a thorn in her heart?
Although Du Mengqi did not take these publicly targeted actions seriously, but based on Du Mengqi's understanding of what Gu Wanwan had done in recent years, she also knew that Gu Wanwan definitely arranged more than one plan in private, just to be more Deal with Xu Lijuan well...

"If you are not afraid of being stolen by a thief, you will be remembered by the thief." Du Mengqi is not afraid of Gu Wanwan's methods, but it does not mean that she is not worried about Xu Lijuan. Becoming smarter and wiser than ever before is no exception.

Right now, there is an opportunity to directly and blatantly suppress Gu Wanwan, Du Mengqi certainly doesn't mind Xu Lijuan making a move.

There was a lot to say, but the time was actually very short. Soon, the auctioneer held up a small bell and said loudly, "28 for the second time!"

"35." Xu Lijuan slowly raised the sign and added another [-] at once.

hateful!

Xu Lijuan, this little bitch, is really deceiving!
Gu Wanwan pinched her fingers, it was in vain that she thought that Du Mengqi would look at Gu Lao's face and persuade Xu Lijuan to give up the fight for this pen holder. She was secretly glad that she could get this pen holder at a cheaper price, but she didn't Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, Xu Lijuan actually added another 8 yuan!
8 yuan!

If it was the previous Gu Wanwan, she would definitely not take the 8 yuan in her eyes seriously, and would not take Xu Lijuan's provocative behavior that seemed to have nothing seriously, but just took the money and crushed it all the way without hesitation. .

But, right now, in the past few months, the Lvyinge Dessert House, which is Gu Wanwan's largest source of income, has been under pressure from the Pink Memories Dessert House opened by Wang Shishan, and it is close to being unable to make ends meet.This time, if it wasn't for the New Year's Eve, and she was eager to please Mr. Gu, she would never use the money she got together to buy this pen holder!
And it was Xu Lijuan who caused her embarrassing situation!If Xu Lijuan wasn't Fu Jianbai's girlfriend, then Mr. Gu wouldn't have called her into the study for a stern warning, and he wouldn't have been afraid that she would find someone to deal with Xu Lijuan in private and freeze all her bank cards!
"36!" Gu Wanwan's heart was bleeding, if she knew this, she shouldn't have competed with Xu Lijuan just now.Now, even if she wants to give up, it will embarrass her, and even hinder the reputation of the Cheng family!

If Xu Lijuan knew what Gu Wanwan was thinking, she would just shake her head and sigh that Gu Wanwan was overthinking.

After estimating it in her heart, Xu Lijuan slowly raised her sign and said, "39."

The auctioneer was already too excited. The price of this pen holder was 20. Now, the auction price is about to double, and her commission will be much higher!
"39 million for the first time!"

"39 million second time!"

In just five seconds, the auctioneer has already struck the small bell twice, and the pen holder is about to be sold at a high price of 39 when the small bell is struck for the last time!

Gu Wanwan bit her lip, and took a moment to look at Xu Lijuan again.

When Gu Wanwan found out that Xu Lijuan ignored her gaze at all and was still chatting with Du Mengqi with a smile on her face, she felt that the flame that had never been extinguished in her chest rose up as if several barrels of boiling oil had been poured on her, burning her whole body. Everyone turned red, and could no longer care about Gu Qingfeng who was sitting on the side looking at him worriedly, and even ignored Gu Qingfeng's persuasive words to stop him, he vigorously raised the sign in his hand, and said loudly Shouted: "40!"

The auctioneer became even more excited. In order to avoid Gu Wanwan's repentance, Xiao Zhong in his hand dropped quickly, and also shouted: "40 for the first time!"

"40 million second time!"

When he said this, the auctioneer paused for a moment, looking at Xu Lijuan who was looking down in thought, and other people who watched this rare and exciting competition also turned their eyes away.

Of course, Gu Wanwan is no exception.At this moment, a rare feeling of annoyance and regret emerged in her heart, and she even rarely hoped that Xu Lijuan would continue to increase the price to buy this pen holder...

Xu Lijuan didn't realize it at all, until the auctioneer paused long enough, then looked up at the auctioneer, the doubt in her eyes was clearly visible.

The auctioneer knew immediately that Xu Lijuan really had no intention of raising the price, and he sighed softly.Although I regret that I can't increase my commission anymore, but if I think about it in another direction, if Xu Lijuan and Gu Wanwan, two girls who know their backgrounds at a glance, are fighting for intentionally or unintentionally, this pen holder would not be able to sell at all. A high price of 40!

"40 million for the third time!"

"..."

It was agreed that they didn't like each other's eyes, and they insisted on fighting over each other?
It was agreed that the Xu family and the Gu family have similar family backgrounds, power and status, so under no circumstances should they lose face by the other party?

The promised "Goddess of Wealth" with "good luck against the sky" is merciless when it comes to spending money?
But at such a critical time, he is soft-handed!
……

Gu Wanwan gritted her teeth, but the expression on her face did not change at all. She even stood up when the camera switched to her, and gave everyone a dignified and gentle smile. All films.

When she sat down, Gu Wanwan couldn't help but look at Xu Lijuan again.This time, Xu Lijuan rarely looked at her squarely.However, if possible, Gu Wanwan would really rather not look at Xu Lijuan!
... Just now, if she didn't feel wrong, Xu Lijuan looked at her with a mocking and mocking look? !

hateful!

If at this time, Gu Wanwan still doesn't know that she can't plot against Xu Lijuan, and if Xu Lijuan plots against her instead, then she will be a daughter of the Gu family in vain.

It was also because of this that Gu Wanwan finally looked at Xu Lijuan squarely, went through what happened during this period of time in her mind, and finally had to admit that she had underestimated Xu Lijuan from the very beginning...

However, such a mistake, one time is enough!

"Xiaowan, you..." Gu Qingfeng frowned slightly. Even though Gu Wanwan concealed it well, with his keen insight into the surrounding environment he had trained in the army for many years, he still easily noticed Gu Wanwan's change. Ever since seeing Du Mengqi and Xu Lijuan, the mother and daughter, the heart in her throat not only failed to return to its original position smoothly, but even tightened even more.

"Brother, I just figured out something." Gu Wanwan suddenly raised her head, looking back at him with clear eyes, that indifferent appearance not only failed to resolve the worries in Gu Qingfeng's heart, but also made his brows frowned. With the word "Chuan", Xu Lijuan, who was admiring the next auction item with a smile not far away, and who was raising the placard again, turned around, and did not miss Du Mengqi, who was sitting next to Xu Lijuan, looking at her There was a profound warning gaze.

While thinking of the phone call Fu Jianbai received a few days ago that also had a hint of warning on it, Gu Qingfeng couldn't help but recall the conversation Gu Wanwan had with him when he got home drunk that day, and what he said to himself the next day Now it seems that those promises he made were all because he would be wrong!
Thinking about it this way, one can guess why Gu Wanwan went to Yan'an today uncharacteristically...

Is it?

Gu Qingfeng's eyes were fixed, and the idea that came to his mind was too bold, and it made him feel too horrified.If it wasn't for the inappropriate timing, he would definitely ask Gu Wanwan about it!

However, even so, Gu Qingfeng didn't intend to just keep silent like this, watching Gu Wanwan fall from the height of the altar that others need to look up to, into the mud where anyone can step on it.

"Little Wan..."

Gu Qingfeng's words started with a trace of warning and persuasion, and Gu Wanwan, who was about to be driven crazy by Gu Qingfeng's persuasion words, couldn't help but said, "Brother, I'm already 26 years old. Understand the priorities of things."

The boredom and other emotions revealed in the words only made Gu Qingfeng's heart tighten suddenly, and the persuasive words that had clearly reached his throat could not be uttered smoothly...
