Translator: Dragon Boat Translation | Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Su Lie glanced at Gu Qingluan.

Gu Qingluan smirked and nodded in confirmation.

The invitation letter was personally delivered by Lu Banian. How could it be fake?

The gatekeeper opened the invitation letter.

Gu Jinyue tiptoed to get a better look.

Suddenly, she excitedly exclaimed, “I knew it! There’s an issue with this invitation letter! The names of the invitees on our invitations are all in black, but this one is in gold. Ha! Gu Qingluan, if you’re going to forge something, at least put more effort into it. Luckily, we discovered it in time, or else you would have managed to sneak in!”

The gatekeeper looked at her with mixed emotions and said, “The invitee with the name in gold is personally invited by Young Master Lu.”

“What?” Gu Jinyue’s smile froze, disbelief written all over her face as she stared at him.

Ignoring her reaction, the gatekeeper closed the invitation letter and respectfully returned it to Gu Qingluan. “1 have offended you earlier. Please proceed, Miss Gu and your companions.”

Gu Qingluan took the invitation letter and handed it to Su Lie. Then, she smiled while looking at the dumbfounded Gu Jinyue. “The invitee with a black name, please step aside.”

It was a blatant mockery!

Gu Jinyue felt as if she had been slapped in the face publicly. Her face turned pale and then flushed. She couldn’t believe that Gu Qingluan was personally invited by Young Master Lu.

It couldn’t be! It was absolutely impossible!

How could Gu Qingluan know Young Master Lu?

And why would Young Master Lu hold her in such high regard?

There must be some mistake!

“Ugly woman, step aside!” Feng Yuanxi glared at Gu Jinyue with an unfriendly gaze.

Why were there so many annoying flies causing trouble for his mother?

Now that it was confirmed that the invitation letter was legitimate, they were being blocked from moving forward?

Ugly woman?

Gu Jinyue stared back at Feng Yuanxi with a fierce expression.

You brat! He had called her an ugly granny before, and now he was insulting her as an ugly woman. How could he speak so cheaply of her?

New grudges added to old hatred, making Gu Jinyue wish to tear his mouth apart.

The gatekeeper, seeing Gu Jinyue blocking the entrance and terrifying the child brought by the esteemed guests with such a dreadful expression, grew extremely displeased with her. He said, “Miss, please step aside and don’t obstruct our esteemed guests.”

Gu Jinyue was infuriated by his gaze and tone, her face turning red. “You…”

“Yue’er, stop causing trouble!” Gu Zhixin whispered in a low voice, scolding her.

With so many influential and prominent figures watching, he felt utterly humiliated.

Gu Jinyue couldn’t help but feel ashamed and humiliated. She couldn’t just leave in embarrassment; otherwise, it would become a laughingstock.

Especially Gu Qingluan, she was undoubtedly laughing at Gu Jinyue in her heart!

Gu Jinyue shook off Gu Jinrong’s hand and spoke coldly, “Even if it’s true, so what? Why didn’t Mr. Lu carefully select the guests he invited?”

This girl was incredibly audacious, daring to utter such words.

The gatekeeper was also taken aback, then angrily retorted, “Miss, please choose your words carefully. Selecting the guests is the business of our auction house, and it’s not for outsiders to meddle in.”

Gu Qingluan looked at Gu Jinyue with a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes. She thought to herself, “Gu Jinyue is as brainless as ever. Who gave her the audacity to challenge the Lushi Auction House?”

As her thoughts shifted, Gu Qingluan thought of someone.

Sure enough, Gu Jinyue arrogantly continued, “The reason this auction has attracted so many people is because of the Ninth-Grade Spirit Pills from the Island of No Return! Mr. Liu is still staying at my house. If we inform him, can your auction still proceed?”

“You…” The gatekeeper didn’t expect her to be so domineering.

But since she dared to say it, there was no guarantee she wouldn’t follow through.

If the Ninth-Grade Spirit Pills from the Island of No Return weren’t auctioned, those esteemed guests who had traveled a long way would surely demand an explanation. How could he justify it to Mr. Lu?

Seeing the gatekeeper’s troubled expression, Gu Jinyue raised an eyebrow and smiled.. “Now you should know what to do, right?”
