Chapter 565: The Auction Begins
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The security guards who had not appeared in the beginning would not appear at this time, especially after knowing that Gu Man was from the Gu family.
The entire hall was exceptionally quiet, except for the man’s impotent anger. He seemed to have belatedly sensed the awkwardness and glared fiercely at the two of them before returning to his seat dejectedly.
Huang Yue watched as Gu Man brought her back. She did not expect her to be so stubborn. A fierce glint flashed across her eyes and her gaze landed on the girl beside Gu Man with a warning look.
The girl did not notice Huang Yue at first. She just happened to glance at her and that figure met her eyes. Her heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously retreated.
As soon as she took a step back, she felt Gu Man’s hand. She looked at Gu Man in a daze and the fear in her heart calmed down a lot. The corners of her lips twitched and she said softly, “Thank you.”
Gu Man shook her head and continued to lead her forward.
The girl comforted herself in her heart. She did not have to sit with Huang Yue. She would just pretend not to see her and avoid her in the future.
However, to the girl’s surprise, Gu Man actually walked straight towards Huang Yue. Looking at the empty seat beside Huang Yue, the girl suddenly understood something. She had just left the tiger’s den and entered the wolf’s den again.
How could anyone who was on good terms with Huang Yue be a good person? She was in trouble.
Moreover, with Huang Yue’s identity, the girl beside her might do something to please Huang Yue. At the thought of this, the girl became even more desperate and her entire body trembled like a sieve.
Gu Man stopped in her tracks and looked at the girl beside her. She saw the fear in her eyes. The source of this fear…
She followed the girl’s gaze and looked at Huang Yue. She understood.
Gu Man did not return to her seat. Instead, she sat down beside Huang Yue. She patted the empty seat beside her and gestured for the girl to sit down.
The girl’s expression was a little ugly. She bit her lip and sat obediently beside Gu Man, already prepared to be bullied.
With Huang Yue’s strength, if she escaped at this time, she would be retaliated against in the future. She might as well stay here and let Huang Yue bully her.

She lowered her head. No matter how unwilling she was, the difference in strength made her feel helpless.
As the farce ended, the venue completely heated up. The auction began while the iron was hot.
The lights were completely dimmed, and only the dim yellow light on the stage landed on the pearwood table. A woman in a cheongsam held a small hammer and knocked it gently, attracting everyone’s attention.
The girl sitting beside Gu Man was waiting for the judgment, but the bullying she had imagined did not appear. Instead, it was exceptionally quiet. She took the time to look to the side and saw Huang Yue staring at her. She immediately retracted her gaze.
As she retracted her gaze, she stole a glance at Gu Man’s expression and realized that she was staring at the stage, as if she had no intention of paying attention to anyone.
For some reason, the girl heaved a sigh of relief. She ignored the gaze beside her and started to look at the stage.
Huang Yue was very unhappy about being ignored. She looked at Old Master Cui, wanting him to teach Gu Man a lesson, but Old Master Cui had no intention of teaching Gu Man a lesson.
She could only suppress her thoughts for the time being. After all, if she took the initiative to mention it, it would easily make Old Master Cui hate her.
There was nothing particularly outstanding in the first few exhibits, and there were very few people auctioning for them. Everyone’s gaze was still focused on the last few exhibits.
The next exhibit was displayed on the stage. It was a raw stone with a corner cut open. Although the quality of the jade was not bad, it was a pity that there was an obvious crack on it.
Everyone’s reaction was average. No matter how good the color was, it was not worth much if there was a crack, not to mention that the crack was across the cut side. The crack below might be even more obvious.
The scene cooled down for a moment. No one was willing to bid for this raw stone. There were even faint complaints from people below.
“Even if it’s a small-scale auction, how can you auction such a thing?”
“That’s right, that’s right. The crack is so big. Only a fool would buy it..”
