Chapter 227 Buying the Jewelry
Duan Yujing's eyes gleamed with confidence, his expression determined to succeed.
A sense of loss and anger welled up in Li Yan's heart. She bit her lip tightly, and her eyes showed resentment.
Seeing Duan Yujing's actions and noticing the mother's low spirits, Gu Tingyan immediately followed up with the price: "Fifteen million!"
His eyes held a resolute glint as he tried to protect Li Yan's wish.
"I can't let Mom down," Gu Tingyan thought to himself as he raised his bidding paddle high.
Seeing the two bidding against the jewelry set, Mr. Zhang from Tianyu Media, who was not far away, was convinced that it must be a good item.
His shrewd eyes gleamed with greed, and without hesitation, he followed suit, bidding: "Twenty million!"
Seeing this opportunity, Zhou Zeran's heart skipped a beat. He knew this was a good chance to curry favor with President Zhang, so he gritted his teeth and shouted out a high price: "Twenty-one million!"
Zhou Zeran's palms were sweating, and his eyes were filled with anticipation and nervousness, as if he were waiting for fate to decide his fate.
Seeing Zhou Zeran's actions, Xu Rou felt a growing sense of worry.
Zhou Zeran is now doing everything he can to please President Zhang.
She was worried about leaving Zhou Zeran alone, so she started saying nice things to Gu Tingyu in a soft but urgent voice.
"Tingyu, I really love this jewelry set too. Could you help me buy it?" Xu Rou asked, her voice filled with pleading and expectation as she clung tightly to Gu Tingyu's arm, as if seeking his protection.
When Xu Rou made her first request to him, a strong impulse surged within Gu Tingyu.
He looked at Xu Rou gently and said, "Rou Rou, of course you can."
Xu Rou's eyes lit up, and she looked at Gu Tingyu with surprise.
As if encouraged, Gu Tingyu wanted to fulfill Xu Rou's wish and make her happy.
So, without hesitation, he shouted out the highest price: "Twenty-five million!"
Li Yan, sitting next to Gu Tingyan, heard Gu Tingyu's voice and immediately turned her head to look at Gu Tingyu's actions. She was so angry that she scolded him directly: "Gu Tingyu, are you stupid and rich? Is it worth it for a woman?"
Her voice was sharp and angry, sweeping in like a storm.
Gu Tingyu's face darkened slightly, and he said bluntly, "This is my own money, I can spend it however I want."
Li Yan was so angry that she felt like she had a lump in her throat, and she looked at Gu Tingyu's attitude in disbelief.
Gu Tingyan noticed the two people's reactions and quickly raised his hand to pat Li Yan's back, gently comforting her: "Li Yan, you're angry for this kid. You should let him suffer a bit so he'll realize that you're doing this for his own good."
Li Yan knew this was the reasoning, but she couldn't bear to see her youngest son suffer right under her nose.
She frowned slightly, looking at Gu Tingyan and said, "But, Ayan..."
Gu Tingyan noticed Li Yan's concerns and comforted her in a low voice, assuring her, "Don't worry, no matter what Xiao Yu says, he's still my brother. In the end, I'll definitely back him up."
Li Yan then nodded.
Gu Tingyu's bid was too high, and no one competed with him.
He gave the jewelry to Xu Rou, who looked very grateful: "Thank you, A Yu."
Gu Tingyu smiled, enjoying Xu Rou's attention on him.
Li Yan simply couldn't bear to look at Gu Tingyu's love-struck appearance.
As the party was about to end, Xu Rou took the jewelry and made an excuse to leave. Gu Tingyu was so impressed by Xu Rou's softened attitude that he had no suspicions.
As a result, Xu Rou found Zhou Zeran with the jewelry.
