Her words sounded reasonable, but they were actually nonsense. Gu Man couldn’t help but laugh when she heard them, let alone Old Master Cui. His expression had completely darkened.

“Huang Yue, you only heard the man’s words, but you didn’t care about the girl’s explanation at all. When did you become so arbitrary?” Old Master Cui’s disappointed tone could be heard even by the slow-witted Huang Yue.

Her expression froze, and she regretted becoming so stupid recently. Gu Man must have affected her emotions, causing her to make such a low-level mistake.

How could she expose her emotions in front of Old Master Cui?

“Grandpa Cui, you’re right. I was too arbitrary. I should understand the situation before coming to a conclusion. Perhaps it’s because I haven’t been by Grandpa Cui’s side for the past few years that I’ve been led astray by those people outside.” Huang Yue apologized and gave a reason. These methods had indeed diverted Old Master Cui’s attention.

“If you’re free during this period of time, you can come and look for me more often. You’ve been led astray by the people outside.” Old Master Cui still had some filters for Huang Yue, so he was not especially strict.

Huang Yue heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that her goal had been achieved.

At this moment, Gu Man suddenly stood up. She walked to the center of the commotion.

Huang Yue happily made way for her when she saw this scene. One had to know that Old Master Cui hated people who interfered without knowing their strength.

She could also shift Old Master Cui’s anger. It was killing two birds with one stone.

However, Huang Yue still wanted to add fuel to the fire. She called out to Gu Man hypocritically, “Gu Man, that man doesn’t look like a good person. If a woman like you interferes, you might be implicated.”

Huang Yue deliberately raised her voice and even called out Gu Man’s name to attract the attention of the Gu family. Secondly, she also attracted Old Master Cui’s attention.

The name Gu Man made the Gu family members sitting in front turn around. However, their faces were covered by their masks, making them not dare to acknowledge each other.

However, Gu Rou and Zhong Yao received Huang Yue’s gaze. The two of them instantly understood that the girl who suddenly stood up was Gu Man.

“Gu Man.” Old Master Cui did not say anything else and only called out to Gu Man.

Gu Man did not stop walking and continued to walk towards the center of the farce. Seeing this, the smile on Huang Yue’s face widened. If not for Old Master Cui standing beside her, she would definitely not have restrained herself and would have laughed out loud.

No one could stop her if she wanted to give in to tempting fate.

There were not only those few gazes on Gu Man. Because of her sudden actions, all the gazes in the venue gathered.

The man and the girl were still arguing. Clearly, they did not notice this change. The argument became louder and louder, but for some reason, no one came to maintain order.

Or perhaps he wanted to use this small conflict to warm up the atmosphere and make the subsequent auction go even smoother.

Gu Man suddenly stood in front of the two of them, scaring the girl and the man.

The girl’s teary eyes immediately landed on Gu Man. She blinked and retracted her anger. “Hello, what’s the matter?”

Her voice was still a little choked up. Even though she was suffering now, she still forced herself to remain calm.

The man’s gaze was a little naked, as if he was sizing up a commodity. He sized Gu Man up, but his gaze only made her feel disgusted.

Gu Man’s intrusion seemed to have opened a floodgate for this matter. The two of them looked at Gu Man and did not continue arguing.

Gu Man sized up the two of them and finally looked at the necklace on the girl’s neck. That necklace had traces of age, but it was not common jade or anything like that. It was a black stone.

The spiritual power contained in this stone was comparable to the meteorites she had seen before. Gu Man suspected that they were just different fragments.

The girl did not notice that Gu Man’s gaze had been on her neck, but she was a little confused by Gu Man’s sudden intrusion without saying a word.

“Um, what’s the matter?”
