Gu Tingye and Mu Yan who were seated in the front also heard Gu Tingchen's bid, and turned to look at him, "I never thought that you also know how to buy things to flatter women."
"I learned it from big brother." Gu Tingchen's reaction was cold.
His indifferent answer made it hard for Gu Tingye to find an opportunity to pick a fight with Gu Tingchen.
"It's only right for us Gu family men to be generous, but isn't it a bit too shabby to be your sister-in-law's wedding present?"
If a man gave a woman a poor gift, it would only make him look petty.
"Big brother Ye, my sister won't care. She doesn't know these brands anyway." Mu Yan purposely belittled Mu Lee.
After all these years of being driven mad by the medical fees, how could Mu Lee have the money to buy these luxury goods?
Mu Lee laughed, but was not angry.
"I don't wear any of these luxury goods, but I'm happy that my husband is willing to buy them for me. I'm not like big sister, as long as I act like a spoiled child I can have a gift."
Mu Yan's expression immediately changed upon hearing that."Are you saying that I need to act like a spoiled child to be able to get a present? Mu Lee, let me tell you, even if I don't want it, Big Brother Ye will buy it for me! "
"This is your private matter, I'm not interested to know." Mu Lee didn't want to deal with this woman from the start so if this woman didn't take the initiative to provoke her, she would definitely ignore her.
Only, after Mu Lee finished speaking, she actually directly raised the tablet in Gu Tingye's hands: "1 million."
Gu Tingye frowned, he truly did not care about the money, but when Mu Yan took the initiative to bid on his behalf, he was still somewhat disgusted.
A million. Mu Lee thought about this amount, she didn't know how much Gu Tingchen could take out, but a million was definitely not a small sum.
"Tingchen, I do not want this necklace, since I do not like wearing necklaces, it would be useless to buy it."
Gu Tingchen laughed, he obviously knew what Mu Lee was thinking.
Ling Xiao then turned around and whispered a few words into Ling Xiao's ear. Ling Xiao then made an 'OK' gesture, stood up and left the venue.
On stage, the host was just about to shout out 1 million, when a staff member ran up to him and whispered into his ear.
The host looked embarrassed, "Sorry, this necklace has already been bought by someone, so this last item will be cancelled."
Mu Yan also never thought that such a thing would actually happen. She had originally planned to compete with Gu Tingchen, to make him lose face, but didn't expect for the auction to be cancelled.
It was a common occurrence in previous years. Some mysterious buyers who were unwilling to reveal their identities would go backstage and find their owners to buy the items at a high price. The price would usually be higher than the price on the stage.
I just don't know who bought the necklace from behind.
"Aiya, what a coincidence. The necklace that little sister likes has been bought by someone else."
Mu Yan turned around and looked at Mu Lee behind him: "How about I discuss this with that person and have him give this necklace to little sister?"
These words could be said as killing two birds with one stone. Not only did Mu Lee not obtain anything, she even indirectly said that Gu Tingchen was a useless person.
How could Mu Lee possibly allow Mu Yan to humiliate Gu Tingchen like this, so she domineeringly counterattacked right away.
"Big sister is so impressive. Since she bought this necklace anonymously, it means that she doesn't want to reveal her identity. Why would she give big sister room for discussion?" Isn't this sister praising herself too much? "
"You ..." Mu Yan wanted to pretend to be lenient and magnanimous, but discovered that every word that she said could make her explode with anger.
"Mu Lee, why don't you see what you are? If not for marrying into the Gu Family, what qualifications do you have to come to this place!"
Mu Lee still had a calm expression on her face as she said, "Big Sister and I originally had the same roots. What am I?
"Mu Lee..."
"Enough!" The moment Mu Yu got close, he heard the two of them arguing and coughed heavily. He was even more disappointed with Mu Yan, his granddaughter, "I told you to go home, why are you still here? Must you really throw our Mu Family's face away? "
He had always held high hopes for Mu Yan, but he didn't expect that just a few sentences from Mu Lee would cause her to become so flustered. Compared to these two granddaughters, not only did Mu Yan not hold the upper hand, her temperament and experience seemed to be inferior to Mu Lee's.
How could such a granddaughter possibly bring her Mu Family up a new level in the future? It would be good if he didn't drag the family down!
Thinking of this, Mu Yu began to have a headache again.
"Grandfather, Mu Lee bullied me."
"Shut up and come home with me right now." Mu Yu said coldly as he glanced at Gu Tingchen: "I'm sorry, I didn't educate my granddaughter well enough."
Then, he looked at Mu Lee once more before turning and leaving.
Gu Tingye only looked at the couple indifferently. He did not say a word, but he knew in his heart that this Mu Lee was not as weak as he looked on the surface.
Gu Tingchen and Mu Lee did not leave immediately.
"Aren't we going back?" Mu Lee asked.
"Wait." Gu Tingchen tossed the unhappiness from before to the back of his mind.
Just then, a worker walked to Gu Tingchen with a necklace in hand."Second Master, this is the necklace that you bought.
"Thank your manager for me." With that, Gu Tingchen took the necklace and placed it in front of Mu Lee.
Seeing the necklace, Mu Lee was surprised: "You bought it?"
Gu Tingchen smiled in his heart, but it was worth more than a thousand words.
As long as she liked it, a necklace was nothing.
Gu Tingchen placed the necklace on Mu Lee's neck, "It's very pretty."
Mu Lee looked at the gentleness in Gu Tingchen's eyes and could not help but kiss his face: "Thank you."
Gu Tingchen was stunned, in the next moment, joy flashed across his face as he held Mu Lee's face and kissed him as if there was no one around.
