Chapter 27 Almost got trapped
"Lu, this is the first time I've seen you bring a female companion."
The sudden sound interrupted the awkward atmosphere between Lu Jingyao and Xu Youyou.
Xu Youyou glanced at the person who came. He was a young man with curly black hair. He was wearing a burgundy shirt with the buttons at the collar unbuttoned.
The blue eyes are like a sea, making everyone who looks at them almost drown in them.
Lu Jingyao calmly approached Xu Youyou and said with a smile: "This is my girlfriend, Miss Xu, and this is Mr. Anthony."
Xu Youyou nodded towards him.
Anthony was born with a romantic eye, looked back and forth between the two, and deliberately asked: "Lu, don't you dance with this beautiful lady?"
Before Lu Jingyao could say anything, Xu Youyou said bluntly: "I can't dance."
Anthony said with a hint of complaint: "Lu, this is your fault. Dancing with a beautiful woman is the happiest thing in life. How can you bear to live up to it?"
The corner of Lu Jingyao's mouth twitched. For Chinese people, there is no dance culture, so they don't have any charming thoughts about men and women dancing together.
Xu Youyou didn't want to forcefully integrate into other people's culture, but said with a glass of wine: "Compared with dancing, I prefer to appreciate the art here."
Anthony raised his eyebrows: "Ms. Xu seems to know a lot about art?"
Xu Youyou said casually: "I am just engaged in related industries, and I am not proficient in it."
There were also many works of art on display in the banquet hall, and the expensive ones were all covered with glass covers. This was also done deliberately by Frank to show off his financial resources.
At this time, there were many people dancing on the dance floor, and there were also many people admiring the artwork. Xu Youyou's words were not far-fetched.
Anthony made a "please" gesture and said: "Frank just bought a piece of blue and white porcelain from your country's Yuan Dynasty from Sotheby's last month, which cost him tens of millions. Miss Xu, you are in for a treat this time. ”
Xu Youyou glanced at the system instructions in the void. Until now, they were still flashing, indicating that her opportunity to pick up the leak had not yet appeared.
When she heard what Anthony said, she also wanted to see the elegance of the blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty.
Lu Jingyao watched Anthony being so attentive to Xu Youyou, and secretly suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, silently protecting Xu Youyou.
Frank is a person who loves to show off. He has just acquired the collection, which is when he is at his freshest. Now it is placed in the middle of the banquet hall.
Through a layer of glass, Xu Youyou saw a large blue and white jar about 30cm high.
She took another closer look and saw that it was a large blue and white jar with figures on it.
"Guiguzi Descends the Mountain Picture Jar." Xu Youyou said.
Lu Jingyao glanced at her in surprise, as if he didn't expect Xu Youyou to be able to figure out the secret on the spot.
But when these words fell into Anthony's ears, a look of confusion appeared on his handsome face: "Miss Xu, what did you say?"
Only then did Xu Youyou realize that what she just blurted out was in Chinese, and she explained it again in English, but the name "Guiguzi" was naturally very unfamiliar to foreigners.
"Gui Guzi was a strange man who lived more than 2,000 years ago, with profound knowledge, outstanding wisdom, and proficient in the art of vertical and horizontal manipulation."
Listening to this explanation, Anthony had a look of envy on his face: "The history of your country is like a heavy book. If you open it casually, there seem to be many powerful people."
Xu Youyou straightened her back slightly and said with pride: "There were many such characters in the era he lived in. He was not the most shining pearl of that era."
Anthony asked again: "I saw Miss Xu frowning just now. Is there anything wrong with this blue and white porcelain?"
Xu Youyou sighed in her heart at the magic of the system. Although she was only rewarded with the primary porcelain appraisal skill, in this short period of time, she discovered the flaw in the porcelain. Xu Youyou didn't guard against Anthony and said directly: "Frank may have been deceived by the auction house."
Lu Jingyao suddenly pushed her arm gently.
Xu Youyou turned to look at him with surprised eyes.
Lu Jingyao came close to Xu Youyou's ear and lowered his voice and said: "The auction house is deep in water. Frank may not know whether this thing is genuine or fake. Even if he was deceived by the auction house, he would not be happy to be exposed by you in public."
Anthony couldn't understand Chinese, so he just raised his voice slightly and asked: "Ms. Xu, do you think this porcelain vase is fake?"
There were already many guests admiring the art gathered around. When they heard this, they all turned their attention to Xu Youyou.
Xu Youyou's mind was spinning quite quickly: "Anthony, you heard wrong. What I said was that Mr. Frank's generosity this time is admirable."
A flash of disappointment flashed in Anthony's eyes.
He also wanted to guide Xu Youyou to say more, but Xu Youyou was already on guard against him and easily stopped talking.
Lu Jingyao made a random excuse and pulled Xu Youyou and Anthony away. When they were in a corner with no other people around, Xu Youyou grabbed his arm.
"Did Anthony do it on purpose?" Xu Youyou asked.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Lu Jingyao's eyes fell on Xu Youyou's hand holding his arm.
Xu Youyou immediately retracted her hand.
"Anthony is a playboy on the surface, but he is best at setting traps for others and can find out a lot of information inadvertently." Lu Jingyao explained.
Xu Youyou frowned: "Don't they all say that these foreigners are stupid and have too much money? Why are they all so arrogant?"
Lu Jingyao said casually: "Anthony is a Jew."
Xu Youyou immediately understood that Jews are known for their cleverness and cunning, so it’s no wonder they are so difficult to deal with.
Lu Jingyao suddenly turned around and pressed Xu Youyou against the wall, making a banging look.
Xu Youyou frowned, and her first reaction was to push the person away, but Lu Jingyao's eyes narrowed slightly, and her movements slowed down a beat.
After about half a minute, Lu Jingyao finally stood up.
Xu Youyou did not feel the pink bubbles, but said with a cold face: "Explain."
"Xi Ruier came here just now." Lu Jingyao pointed to the glass window on one side of the wall.
From Lu Jingyao's perspective, he could see the person coming behind him through the reflection of the glass window.
Even though Xu Youyou knew that this was part of the prank, she was still very unhappy: "Next time before you do such a misunderstanding, Mr. Lu, remember to say hello in advance, otherwise I won't be polite to you."
Lu Jingyao:……
He looked at Xu Youyou's fierce look and his moving right leg, frowned and asked, "Are you planning to kick me?"
Xu Youyou didn't answer, but gave him an unclear look.
Lu Jingyao wanted to say something more, but Xu Youyou's eyes suddenly lit up, and then she ran towards the door regardless of the ten centimeter high heels she was wearing.
