Gu Qingluan smiled faintly. “If Gu Jinyue is so eager, I don’t mind waiting.”

Gu Jinyue knew exactly what Gu Qingluan was thinking. Gu Qingluan must have thought that Gu Jinyue couldn’t come up with that much silver, so Gu Qingluan wanted to humiliate her!

Gu Qingluan was underestimating her!

In less than the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn, Gu Jinyue returned.

“Here’s one million taels! Now I’m a special VIP of Nirvana Pavilion, right?”

Gu Jinyue asked, gasping for breath.

…..

The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly. “Yes, yes, Fourth Miss Gu, from nowon, you’re our store’s special VIP and can enjoy the highest privileges.”

Gu Jinyue raised her eyebrows triumphantly at Gu Qingluan. “Hmph, being a special VIP is nothing because 1 can get whatever 1 want with ease.

Gu Qingluan looked at Gu Jinyue with a strange expression and reminded the shopkeeper, “I heard that the Gu family has emptied their entire fortune to buy the Universe Stabilizer. How can they still afford to register as members with a million taels of silver? Shopkeeper, you should carefully examine whether there are any issues with that one million tael banknote.”

Gu Jinyue glared angrily at her. “Gu Qingluan, stop talking nonsense! These banknotes of mine are all genuine!”

The shopkeeper flipped through the banknotes.

“They are all genuine!”

Gu Jinyue glanced proudly at Gu Qingluan.

Gu Qingluan smirked and said, “Even so, at most, you will receive the same treatment as me. This set of jewelry should go to the highest bidder, right? Shopkeeper, I bid fifty thousand taels of silver.”

“Fifty thousand taels!!!”

This set of accessories should go to the highest bidder. Shopkeeper, I’ll offer fifty thousand taels of silver.”

“Fifty thousand taels!!!” The onlookers couldn’t help but exclaim.

Tang Shijun was taken aback and quickly tugged on Gu Qingluan’s sleeve. “Qingluan, it’s too expensive. You don’t have to waste so much silver just to prove a point.”

Tang Shijun had a good heart and knew how to save money for Gu Qingluan.

Gu Qingluan gave her a reassuring look and then turned to Gu Jinyue. “Fourth Miss Gu, I will take it then.”

“Hold on!” Gu Jinyue anxiously spoke up. “Who said I’m giving it to you? It’s just fifty thousand taels, right? Well, I offer… fifty thousand and one taels!”

Her heart was bleeding.

Damn Gu Qingluan!

She was her nemesis!

Why didn’t she die out there all these years?

“Seventy thousand taels,” Gu Qingluan lazily said.

Gu Jinyue stared at her as if she wanted to devour her.

“Seems like Fourth Miss Gu has no intention of raising the bid. In that case, this set of accessories…”

“One hundred thousand taels!” Gu Jinyue shouted in anger.

She wouldn’t compromise even for a piece of bread.

She was the legitimate young miss of the Gu family. How could she be poorer than Gu Qingluan, who had been expelled from the family?

With so many noble young ladies present, if they spread a few words, she would lose all her dignity.

“Miss Gu is really brave. It seems that you truly love this set of accessories. In that case, I won’t compete with you anymore. I’ll give it to Fourth Miss Gu,” Gu Qingluan said with a sigh and a playful smile, showing no sign of distress or unwillingness.

Gu Jinyue’s breath hitched.

Had she been played?

She glanced at the set of accessories.

One hundred thousand taels…

She had emptied her secret stash!

Damn it!

If it weren’t for Gu Qingluan, she wouldn’t have spent so much unwarranted money!

In the corner of her eye, Gu Jinyue noticed Tang Shijun. Her spirits lifted, finally finding a vent for her anger.

“It seems that Gu Qingluan isn’t truly sincere towards you, huh? She can’t even bear to spend one hundred thousand taels of silver.”

Tang Shijun smiled nonchalantly. “Whether or not Qingluan is sincere doesn’t need to be evaluated by a fool like you.”

“Who are you calling a fool?”

“Who else but someone who spends seventy thousand taels more just to buy a set of accessories? Isn’t that a fool?”

Tang Shijun finished speaking and took Gu Qingluan’s arm. “Qingluan, let’s go.”

Gu Qingluan paused for a moment, then nodded with a smile.

Two figures, one in white and one in red, gracefully left, leaving behind a furious Gu Jinyue.

“Uh, Fourth Miss Gu, your accessories…”

“I don’t want them!” Gu Jinyue’s voice suddenly rose.

“What about the one hundred thousand taels…”

“Didn’t you hear me say 1 don’t want them?” Gu Jinyue’s voice escalated.

“Fourth Miss Gu, you shouldn’t go back on your word. Someone else wanted to buy those accessories, and if you took them without purchasing, it would seem like you’re deliberately causing trouble. If that’s the case, we’ll have to cancel your special VIP treatment.”

Canceling it would be just fine. She could take back her one million taels.

Seemingly aware of Gu Jinyue’s thoughts, the shopkeeper’s expression turned cold. “The membership status can be canceled, but the membership fee cannot be refunded.”

“You…”

“Miss Gu, as a member of the prestigious Gu family, surely you wouldn’t bother haggling over such a trivial sum of silver, would you?” the shopkeeper asked loudly.

Everyone around turned to look at her..
