They had originally wanted to prevent Gu Jinyue, but the Gu family suddenly felt an upsurge in their pride.
Indeed, Mr. Liu was now their pillar of support.
Although Lushi Auction House was impressive, without the medicines from the Island of No Return, could they attract such a large number of esteemed guests?
Lushi Auction House should have been well aware of the choices they had: the Gu family or Gu Qingluan.
The gatekeeper was drenched in sweat, unsure of what to do.
On one side were the esteemed guests invited by Master Lu, and on the other side were the Gu family members who had a close relationship with Mr. Liu.
“If you are unable to make a decision, summon Master Lu. If he is a discerning person, he will know how to choose.”
The gatekeeper reluctantly suggested to Gu Qingluan, “Miss Gu, what do you think…”
“Miss Gu, you’ve arrived! Why didn’t anyone inform me? Please come in quickly!” a clear and youthful voice interrupted.
It was Lu Banian!
He hurriedly approached, taking three steps in two, with his eyes fixed solely on Gu Qingluan.
Gu Qingluan smiled faintly, “Master Lu, I do want to enter, but someone is blocking my way.”
Lu Banian recalled the attendant’s words and glanced at Gu Jinyue, who stood not far away. “Young lady, it is not your place to question which guests we invite to the auction.”
Gu Jinyue retorted in anger, “Do you even know who I am? Mr. Liu is an esteemed guest of my family!”
“No matter who you are, if you have any objections to our auction house, feel free to leave. At Lushi Auction House, everyone must adhere to our rules,” Lu Banian calmly replied.
These words were said quite firmly.
Those who couldn’t stand Gu Jinyue’s arrogant behavior couldn’t help but cheer.
Gu Qingluan’s eyes also showed a look of admiration.
Lu Banian’s dominance caught her by surprise.
She had originally thought of sparing Lu Banian from any difficulties and only relied on Liu Meng’s intervention.
However, Lu Banian was willing to risk offending the Island of No Return for her sake. He was indeed a straightforward young man!
Gu Jinyue’s eyes turned red with anger. “You want me to leave?”
Lu Banian’s expression was cold. “Isn’t the young lady dissatisfied with Lushi Auction House?”
“What is your relationship with her? Why are you helping her like this?”
“What does it have to do with you?”
Such audacity!
An outsider seemed to be interfering beyond boundaries!
“Fine, great! 1 will go tell Mr. Liu right now, just wait and see!” Gu Jinyue turned and ran outside.
Lu Banian furrowed his brow slightly. In reality, he wasn’t as calm as he appeared. He knew the serious consequences of offending Mr. Liu. However, considering that Miss Gu had saved his sister’s life, he wouldn’t mistreat her for someone else’s baseless reasons, both in terms of emotions and principles.
Well, if Mr. Liu were to reclaim the Ninth-Graded pills, they could simply focus on acquiring more valuable items through the trading firm in the future.
“Miss Gu, how many of you came? Please come in, the auction is about to start.”
“Three.”
Lu Banian nodded and personally escorted them inside.
“Dad, what should we do?” Gu Jirong asked Gu Zhixin.
“Let’s go in first and see if Jinyue can persuade Mr. Liu,” Gu Zhixin suggested.
The guests with invitations gradually entered the auction house.
At that moment, Feng Tianlan walked over, holding Gu Xiaonan’s hand. He handed the invitation to the gatekeeper.
The gatekeeper’s eyes flickered with admiration when he saw Gu Xiao Nan.
What an exquisite and lively child! He was just as impressive as the child accompanying the lady Master Lu had invited.
Gu Xiaonan held Xiao Bai in his arms and followed Feng Tianlan into the auction house, his bright eyes darting around.
Suddenly, Xiao Bai struggled and jumped out of his arms, running towards the second floor.
Gu Xiao Nan was taken aback and quickly chased after him.. “Xiao Bai, don’t run! Where are you trying to go?”
