60: Dilraba was stunned: "Is it 16 million or 160 million? I can't even count it!"

“Xu Lu, why are you buying so much jade? You're not going to use it for anything bad, are you?”

Reba, who also hadn't gotten an answer from Xu Lu, blurted out a question after seeing Xu Lu buy a large bag of jade by the kilogram.

Xu Lu, standing nearby, twitched his mouth upon hearing this. He really didn't expect his true purpose for buying jade to be exposed by this Little Girl in one go.

However, Reba had just said it casually, and after not hearing Xu Lu's reply, she quickly overlooked the question herself.

Because even she didn't believe Xu Lu was really buying a pile of jade for anything bad.

But buying jade was just the beginning of today's shopping, and it wasn't convenient for this Little Girl, Reba, to follow along for the rest.

So Xu Lu spent a great deal of effort convincing her to go back.

Of course, Reba, who was persuaded to go back, didn't feel like she had been tricked by Xu Lu this time.

Because she had exchanged an important piece of information from him; this should be called an equivalent exchange!

“The Sothebys Auction House on Hong Kong Island has a cup similar to the small cup in his hand being auctioned tomorrow! Haha, so as long as I wait until this time tomorrow, I'll know how much that cup in Xu Lu's hand is worth!”

Thinking of this, Reba chuckled to herself, muttering:

“Xu Lu, that guy, still wanted to hide it from me, but wasn't I able to pry this secret out of him? Oh, right, Sister Mi doesn't know about this yet. Should I report the situation to Sister Mi?

Forget it, Sister Mi is so busy, she probably won't keep thinking about this. I'll tell her after the auction tomorrow!”

...The next morning.

Reba still didn't see Xu Lu at the film set, which made her so angry she almost called Boss Yang to complain again.

However, thinking that she might have to call Boss Yang in the afternoon, she decided to wait.

Fortunately, at lunchtime, Xu Lu appeared in front of Reba again with food, which finally made her feel a little more balanced.

“Hey, Xu Lu, you didn't go to the antique street by yourself again this morning, did you?”

While shoveling food, Reba asked tentatively.

Unexpectedly, Xu Lu shook his head directly this time, saying:

“Of course not! I was busy with serious business today. Do you think I'm like you, thinking about playing all day long?!”

“You...”

Hearing this, Reba almost choked on her food.

She was diligently filming on set every day, yet he was nowhere to be seen all day long.

So who was the one 'playing, playing, playing' every day?

Fortunately, Reba remembered the 'advice' that she absolutely couldn't argue with this guy in front of her, so she chose not to get angry.

After thinking for a moment, she said again:

“Then this afternoon...”

Before she could finish, Xu Lu interrupted directly:

“I also have serious business to attend to this afternoon, so you can go back by yourself after you finish filming...”

Unexpectedly, Reba also learned to interrupt this time, and said angrily:

“What serious business? I think you're neglecting your proper duties, always out of sight.”

“What do you, Little Girl, know? What I'm doing now is much more important than filming or anything else!”

Xu Lu retorted casually.

“Then tell me what serious business it is, let me see if it's really important first?”

Reba felt she wasn't easily fooled and pressed for details.

Unfortunately, Xu Lu was unyielding, shaking his head mysteriously and saying:

“I can't tell you that. You just need to know I'm busy with serious business. Men's affairs, women should ask less. Oh, and don't call Boss Yang to complain again, otherwise, hehe...”

Xu Lu looked Reba up and down with his eyes, sending out a 'threatening' signal.

Reba, who originally wanted to be stubborn, found the guy's gaze too intense, and for a moment, she felt a little shy.

However, when she came back to her senses, where was Xu Lu's shadow?

“Hmph, bad guy, being so secretive, I don't know what bad things he's doing. Just now... just now he looked at me with those eyes, he's really rotten... But I have fewer scenes this afternoon, so after filming, I should be able to catch the Sothebys Auction House auction. I want to see how much that little cup is worth!”

...In the afternoon, after finishing her scenes, Reba immediately picked up her phone to watch the auction live stream.

What made her both curious and relieved was that the jigang cup at Sothebys Auction House hadn't started bidding yet.

She was curious, of course, because it hadn't started bidding, so she didn't know how much it would sell for.

She was relieved precisely because it hadn't started yet, so she could witness the birth of the price later!

“Oh, this jigang cup at Sothebys Auction House already has a reserve price. Let me see...”

Reba, who had just noticed this information, was stunned after glancing at the reserve price again.

“One... sixteen million? My goodness, the reserve price has already reached sixteen million! No, no, there are so many zeros at the end, I didn't miscount, did I? Let me count again...”

Reba exclaimed, feeling like she might have counted one zero too many, and quickly counted backward again.

However, when she finished counting for the second time, Reba's expression became even more unreal.

She mumbled foolishly:

“I did miscount, but I only counted one zero too few. The reserve price is one hundred and sixty million, hiss! Damn it, how many zeros are there after '16'? Why can't I even count properly anymore?”

Fortunately, Reba soon didn't have to worry about whether her count was correct.

Because the auction for this jigang cup had finally begun, and the Host announced the reserve price:

One hundred and sixty million!

Reba instantly froze, feeling as if the world was somewhat unreal.

Yesterday, she thought that little cup was something Xu Lu had casually picked up from the roadside to fool her. Who knew that such an inconspicuous little cup was actually worth over a hundred million!

And now Reba finally understood one thing: why Xu Lu didn't even let that old man called Expert Li look at it yesterday.

Even if the other party had boasted tens of millions in assets, in front of the true value of this small cup, a mere few tens of millions truly weren't enough!

“That Xu Lu is really something. An antique worth over a hundred million, and he just casually carries it in a small bag! If it gets bumped or accidentally dropped, that would be a huge loss. By the way, I even wanted to snatch it yesterday...”

Thinking of this, Reba suddenly shivered, thinking to herself:

“If an antique like this were broken by me, selling myself wouldn't even be enough to compensate for it! Yesterday, I thought Xu Lu was just joking, but unexpectedly, he was telling the absolute truth.

Huh, wait, he seemed to say that selling me would barely be enough to compensate...”

For some reason, Reba's eyes suddenly lit up slightly, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth:

“So, in that guy's heart, I'm actually worth so much. Although it's a bit pathetic, why do I feel a little happy about it?”

While Reba was lost in wild thoughts, the chenghua chicken cup from Sothebys Auction House had already been sold.
