Chapter 1355 - 1355 Birds Of The Same Feather
1355 Birds Of The Same Feather
Guan Hui hesitated for a few seconds. “Yes, there’s a violin at this auction. I’ve played it before and have always liked it, so I want to bid for that violin.”
When Director Luo heard her words, she was enlightened. “In that case, Miss Guan is the person who played this violin!”
Everyone surrounded Guan Hui and praised her. “Madam Huo, you even know how to play the violin! I heard that the violin was personally made by Xue Liang. The workmanship is exquisite, and the tone is very good. Only such a top violin is worthy of you, Mrs. Huo!”
Guan Hui smiled shyly. “I didn’t expect to see this violin here after so many years.”
In the resting area on the other side, Qiao Xi raised her eyes slightly to glance at Guan Hui. “She played this violin before?”
When Huo Yuzhou lived on the mountain previously, he had a good relationship with Qiao Xi’s third and fourth brothers. It was reasonable for him to have touched this violin, but who did Guan Hui think she was? Was she worthy of touching that violin?
Moreover, wasn’t this violin sent by the Brook family? Since Huo Yuzhou had already sent it over, why did he want to buy it back?
Qiao Xi casually asked, “Director Luo, do you know why the Brook family is under the control of someone with the surname Huo?”
Director Luo lowered her voice and said, “I heard that… Mr. Huo is the illegitimate child of the Brook family. Although his status isn’t good, he’s swift and decisive. He’s extremely capable. On the other hand, the direct descendants of the Brook family are all very useless, so the moment he returned to the Brook family, he was supported by most people.
“The rumored ‘Mrs. Huo’ was brought back by Mr. Huo. All these years, she’s the only woman who’s been by Mr. Huo’s side, so she has always announced to the public that she’s Mrs. Huo. It’s just that the two of them have never gotten married.
“After all, Gu Corporation’s branch company is in Y Nation, so we have to interact with the Brook family. I’ve seen Mrs. Huo a few times. She looks gentle on the surface, but she’s actually petty. I really don’t know why Mr. Huo likes someone like her.”
Qiao Xi nodded and chuckled. “Birds of the same feather.”
Director Luo was slightly surprised. Actually, Mr. Huo’s reputation was not bad. She did not expect Qiao Xi to evaluate Mr. Huo like this.
After a moment of silence, Director Luo suddenly covered her mouth and laughed. “Speaking of which, you and the president are very compatible! One is a handsome man and the other is a beautiful woman. You’re also both so outstanding. The auction is about to start. I’ll accompany you to take a look.”
Director Luo’s tone was very sincere, and Qiao Xi smiled at her. Just as the two of them were about to stand up and leave, Guan Hui’s shocked voice suddenly came from behind.
“Xi Xi? You’re here in Y Nation too? Xi Xi, what are you doing here?”
Qiao Xi was suddenly slightly irritable. She really did not want to see Guan Hui. If she had known earlier, she would have left in advance.
At the same time, in the luxurious lounge.
Gu Zheng sat lazily on the gorgeous sofa. His expression was calm, but if one took a closer look, one would notice the disdain in his eyes.
Huo Yuzhou was flipping through the medical book in his hand and said calmly, “President Gu, you’re really carefree. In order to attend an auction, you actually came all the way from Li City to Y Nation.”
Gu Zheng raised an eyebrow and said coldly, “Mr. Huo, are you here today for Tan Yu?”
Huo Yuzhou frowned. The news that Tan Yu’s hand was cut off had already spread to the Brook family. Madam Tan was like a lunatic, insisting that Gu Zheng did it. It was just that Gu Zheng was not captured in the surveillance footage, and there was no evidence to prove that Gu Zheng had been to the villa.
Everyone thought that she was slandering Gu Zheng. After all, Tan Yu had killed too many people and there were many people who wanted to take revenge on him. It was already merciful enough that only one of his hands was cut off and his life wasn’t taken.
Moreover, Tan Yu was a fool. The head of the family did not care at all. Even if there was evidence that Gu Zheng was the one who did it, the head of the family would not go against Gu Zheng for Tan Yu.
Huo Yuzhou did not even raise his head and said coldly, “He’s just an abandoned child. I don’t care at all.”
Gu Zheng opened his arms slightly and leaned against the armrest of the sofa. The light from the window shone in, illuminating his handsome facial features. His facial features were well-defined like the most perfect sculpture. After a long time, he slowly said, “If it’s not for him, why are you looking for me, Mr. Huo?”
Huo Yuzhou suddenly stopped in his tracks. He slowly looked up, and his cold gaze landed on Gu Zheng. “President Gu, there are rumors that although you’re cold and heartless, you don’t stir up trouble. Now, it seems that the rumors can’t be trusted.”
Gu Zheng’s expression did not change as he raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean?”
