Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself-Chapter 1354 - 1354 Special Finale

1354 Special Finale

Seeing that Qiao Xi had not said anything, Director Luo knew that she was suspicious, so he confessed in a low voice, “Young Madam, the president is just concerned about you. After all, this isn’t Li City. There are unknown risks here. He’ll be more at ease with me protecting you.”

“Gu Zheng has enemies here?” Qiao Xi asked.

Director Luo was silent for a moment before he explained, “You can’t say that we’re enemies. It’s mainly because the various forces in Y Nation are chaotic, and there are too many benefits involved. We’re in the territory of the Brook family. Now that the Brook family is getting stronger and stronger, many nobles don’t dare to provoke them, so we have to be on guard.”

Qiao Xi had long known that this was the Brooke family’s territory. In that case, did no one know about Gu Zheng breaking into the Brooke family’s villa yesterday and beating Tan Yu up?

“Young Madam, the president asked you to see if there’s anything you like.” As she spoke, Director Luo handed her a beautifully crafted booklet.

Qiao Xi casually glanced at it and was slightly uninterested. The items at the auction were nothing special, but when she flipped to the last page, her eyes suddenly lit up. In the photo was a beautifully crafted violin. It was not that this thing was precious but Qiao Xi felt that it looked a little familiar.

Seeing that she was staring at the violin, Director Luo was a little puzzled. “This violin is indeed exquisite, but it’s not worth collecting. There’s nothing special about it.”

She observed it carefully and really did not know why the president would put this thing at the end.

“I don’t know much about musical instruments. Perhaps this violin has some special meaning. If you like it, I’ll go ask around.” With that, Director Luo quickly left.

Qiao Xi stared fixedly at the photo. Actually, this violin was indeed nothing special, but it was personally made by Fourth Brother.

Back then, Fourth Brother was obsessed with music, and the musical instruments he made were almost perfect. It was worthy to be auctioned, but it shouldn’t be the finale.

The auction held by Gu Corporation was naturally extraordinary. The people who attended were all successful people with a net worth of tens of billions. The things that could catch their eye were works of calligraphy. They would not be interested in such an ordinary-looking violin at all, so why did Gu Zheng put it at the end?

Soon, Director Luo returned. She explained, “Young Madam, this violin was sent by the Brook family. They only had one condition, which was that this violin has to be the finale. They even said that someone will definitely buy it.”

“I heard that this violin was made by Xue Liang a few years ago. The materials are high quality, and the workmanship is exquisite. However, he also made a few identical violins at the same time. Logically speaking, the price of this violin shouldn’t be very high. I didn’t expect the starting price to be two million yuan. It’s even placed as the finale. I wonder what the Brook family is thinking. How can they be sure that someone will definitely buy it?”

Qiao Xi also agreed with Director Luo’s words. Actually, among all of Fourth Brother’s works, this violin was considered a very ordinary piece. The market valuation was only about 200,000 yuan, but now, the price had actually directly increased by nearly ten times. The Brook family even said that someone would definitely buy it. Did they think that everyone else was stupid?

“Young Madam, I heard something else.” Director Luo had just happened to hear it, so she told Qiao Xi. “I heard that someone played this violin many years ago, so it has a special meaning.”

Qiao Xi’s gaze froze as she frowned. “Where did you hear that?”

“That’s what everyone is saying, and I happened to hear it. Moreover, they said that the person who played this violin back then was Huo—”

Before Director Luo could finish, there was a commotion not far away.

“Mr. Huo is also here for the auction! He has always been reclusive and rarely attends such events. Why is he here today? Mrs. Huo, do you know the reason?”

Qiao Xi looked in the direction of the voice. Guan Hui was wearing a light blue princess dress that was long at the front and short at the back. Her eyes were filled with a happy smile as she was surrounded by everyone.

Everyone had heard that Mr. Huo Yuzhou, the head of the Brook family and the president of the Huo Corporation, would be attending this auction, but they did not see him. Hence, they came to please the future Mrs. Huo, Guan Hui.

Guan Hui said gently, “Yuzhou will be here, but he still has some business to discuss, so he hasn’t appeared. I’ve never asked about his work, so I’m not too sure either.”

“Mrs. Huo, I heard that you’re here for something,” someone asked curiously.
