ABCFWGR Chapter 44 Who Could Be More Capable

After having dinner with Zhang Ke, Gu Chen returned to the Qiong Lou Yu Yu.

He rested until the next morning.

"Hey, I'm at your doorstep, open the door for me," Liu Han Yan said over the phone.

Gu Chen stretched lazily and pressed the button by his bedside.

The door downstairs opened with a click.

Kidding aside, where do you think the three billion spent on the "King of Buildings" went?

Was the floor paved with gold? Or were the toilets studded with diamonds? Or perhaps the pots and pans were antiques?

Too vulgar!

The biggest expense was undoubtedly the automation.

And this was still limited to current technology; otherwise, it could be even more advanced.

"Clop clop clop..."

The sound of high heels echoed up the spiral staircase.

Liu Han Yan walked in carrying newly bought clothes.

"Try these on and see if they fit. I personally picked them out for you," Liu Han Yan boasted.

"It's just an auction, is it necessary to dress so formally?" Gu Chen resisted.

"I know you don't like restrictions, so I specifically chose casual styles," Liu Han Yan explained.

A set of light-colored suits lay neatly on the bed, accompanied by matching shirts and leather shoes, looking quite expensive.

Seeing Gu Chen still indifferent, Liu Han Yan looked pitifully at him. "I took a long time to pick these out. Can't you bear to let my efforts go to waste?"

Normally, Gu Chen would refuse without hesitation.

But faced with the strong contrast of Liu Han Yan's coquettishness, Gu Chen's heart fluttered for a moment, and he inexplicably changed into the clothes.

"Tsk tsk tsk! Not bad at all. It's like it was tailored for you," Liu Han Yan admired her handiwork, nodding in satisfaction.

It must be said that Gu Chen's tall figure, coupled with muscular but not exaggerated muscles, was simply a natural clothes hanger.

Especially when he didn't wear a jacket, only a shirt, there was a wild and powerful beauty.

"Could you please wipe off your drool? At least I'm still the young lady of the Liu family. Don't act like you've never seen a man before," Gu Chen felt uncomfortable being stared at by her.

"Tch!" Liu Han Yan rolled her eyes coquettishly. "What's wrong with looking? Other people beg for my attention, but you don't appreciate it."

Gu Chen couldn't be bothered to argue with her and said, "It's about time. Let's go."

Liu Han Yan's car was parked downstairs.

After getting into the car, the two headed straight to the auction venue.

"This is the auction catalog. All the information about the auction items is in it. You can take a look in advance," Liu Han Yan handed a booklet to Gu Chen.

Having nothing else to do, Gu Chen casually flipped through it.

He hadn't flipped through a few pages before he came across Qi Dedao's paintings. One of the works was titled "Spring Rain."

"Just like before, full of godliness but lacking in spirituality. Ultimately, they're just mundane," Gu Chen shook his head.

"You can say that in private, but don't let Master Qi's fans hear it," Liu Han Yan half-jokingly said. "In terms of fanaticism, they're even crazier than ordinary celebrity fans, and the key is, none of them are ordinary people."

Either they had power or they had influence.

One or two might not be terrifying, but if ten or eight bigshots teamed up, even Liu Han Yan would find it headache-inducing.

The reason was simple: the greater Master Qi's fame, the more valuable their collected paintings would be. Conversely, they would depreciate if Master Qi's fame waned. Of course, they had to work hard to maintain it.

Gu Chen wasn't interested in knowing more about this and quickly finished flipping through the entire booklet. He was surprised and said, "How come there's no information about the Five Elements Spirit Medicine?"

"I asked the Infinite Divine Doctor, and the auctioneer has been hesitant, with no clear attitude, as if waiting for something," Liu Han Yan also found it strange.

Gu Chen frowned. He had promised to cure Chen Xiaoxiao, and the Five Elements Spirit Medicine was crucial.

Heaven-sent treasures were hard to come by, and if missed, who knew when the next opportunity would arise?

At this moment, they arrived at the auction parking lot.

Gu Chen could only put away his thoughts.

Ready to find an opportunity to ask Wujin Immortal Doctor if he can arrange for him to meet the auctioneer, Gu Chen and Liu Han Yan were about to walk inside.

Just as they were about to enter, a black Mercedes-Benz slowly pulled up.

The window rolled down, revealing Li Junjie's punchable face. He mocked, "Gu Chen, are you here for the auction too? Do you have a ticket?"

"Don't get stuck at the door and get kicked out by the security," Gu Chen glanced coldly at him. "Mind your own business. Whether I can get in or not is none of your concern."

"Haven't seen you in a few days, your temper has grown longer. To deceive your way through, you even specially bought a suit. You're really willing to spend," Li Junjie persisted.

Because of Chen Yuwei, he had been hostile to Gu Chen for a long time.

"Where did this fly come from? So annoying!" Liu Han Yan waved her hand.

At her words, Li Junjie finally noticed Liu Han Yan.

With exquisite features, she was more beautiful than any woman he had ever seen, even appearing to outshine Chen Yuwei by several measures in her presence.

"Beauty, what's your relationship with Gu Chen?"

"Let me tell you, he's just a poor guy with no skills. Don't be fooled by his sweet talk."

"If it's convenient, maybe we can exchange contact information."

Li Junjie said with a smug face.

"Hahaha..."

Liu Han Yan covered her mouth and chuckled, her laughter trembling like flower branches in the wind.

Bewildered by her laughter, Li Junjie asked, "Beauty, what are you laughing at? Did I say something wrong?"

Liu Han Yan completely ignored him, just looked at Gu Chen, becoming happier the more she laughed.

She might be right about Gu Chen not having money, but to say he had no skills...

Liu Han Yan couldn't imagine anyone more capable than him.

"Done laughing?"

Gu Chen glanced at her unkindly. "If you're done, let's go in."

Liu Han Yan shrugged, not wanting to further upset him.

As the two walked away, Li Junjie remembered that he hadn't gotten their contact information, so he muttered irritably, "Surname Gu, what kind of luck are you having to be able to charm such a beautiful woman?"

His tone was full of envy and jealousy.

At that moment, Chen Wantai's call came in, and Li Junjie hastily answered without much thought.

At the entrance.

Wujin Immortal Doctor had been waiting for a long time to show respect.

When he saw the two figures, he quickly approached them. "Mr. Gu, Miss Liu, your seats have been arranged. They're in Box 3 next to Mayor Chen's."

"No need to keep calling me 'Mr.' It sounds awkward. It's uncomfortable to hear," Gu Chen said.

"Very well, then I will address you as Mr. Gu from now on," Wujin Immortal Doctor nodded.

Gu Chen had no objection to this, and the three of them walked inside together.

Not long after the three entered, Li Junjie arrived at the door with Chen Wantai, accompanied by Chen Yuwei.

"Yuwei, Uncle Chen, I specially arranged for seats in the front row by pulling some strings."

"I guarantee that you'll have a clear view of every item that comes up for auction."

Li Junjie boasted proudly.

Chen Wantai patted him on the shoulder and said happily, "Junjie, you're really considerate. Unlike some people, with limited abilities and a bad temper, they run away at the slightest criticism."

"Making it seem like Yuwei and I are bullying him. Even now, your Aunt Jiang is still cold-shouldering me and Yuwei because of him."

Li Junjie later heard about this matter and had secretly gloated about it, but in front of Chen Yuwei, he showed a good sense of propriety.

Listening to her father and Li Junjie talk about Gu Chen, Chen Yuwei felt inexplicably annoyed.
