After being reborn, I'm no longer going to play the role of a spoiled rich kid.

Chapter 58 Rules
People are lining up to care about her, so what is Gu Yu compared to her?
Yu Sijia's words were utterly merciless. When the two families were discussing the marriage, she hadn't seen Gu Yu care about or like her much. Now that he suddenly became so concerned about her, Yu Sijia couldn't help but feel that this was just the worst thing a man could do.

What was once thought to be a sure thing to him suddenly became something he no longer owned. What he used to disdain suddenly became something highly sought after.

Clearly, some people are just out of their minds, believing that what you have to grab is the best.

Gu Yu's face turned pale at You Sijia's merciless words. He looked at You Sijia's beautiful profile, which had lost much of its smile, and sighed inwardly. To be honest, Gu Yu still couldn't understand how things had turned out this way between him and You Sijia.

The latter would not be an exaggeration to describe their attitude towards him as avoiding him like the plague.

"I understand, it was my fault," Gu Yu said softly. "Then I'll take this opportunity to wish you a happy marriage and all the best."

When the auction began, You Sijia sat next to Jiang Lingyu and complained about her encounter with Gu Yu earlier.

Jiang Lingyu clicked her tongue. "Could it be that Gu Yu is having second thoughts?"

"who knows?"

"He deserves it," Jiang Lingyu said with a smile. "Men are just like that, you can't be too nice to them. Otherwise, they'll really think they're so charming that others can't resist them. After twenty-five, it's no longer possible, okay? What's there to be so smug about?"

Yustia: "..."

She hadn't thought about it that "comprehensively".

"By the way, what did you send up for auction today?" Jiang Lingyu asked.

Yuska: "It's nothing valuable, just an oil painting I did earlier."

Jiang Lingyu: "This isn't worth much?"

She knew that when Yuska was still in school, one of her final assignments sold for three thousand US dollars.

This price might be a drop in the ocean for an artist who has already made a name for himself, but at that time Yuska was just a student and was already considered very talented.

“I was just drawing for fun, and I even brought a vintage watch with me,” Yusjia said.

These funds were obtained through bidding among people I met at the event tonight, and all proceeds will be used for a charitable fund.

The price may be a little higher than the market price, but it won't be too outrageous.

Jiang Lingyu: "Oh, then I want to buy your painting."

Yu Sijia nodded; she was used to it, since she and Jiang Lingyu often took photos of each other.

But when Yuska's painting was brought up, surprisingly, quite a few people were bidding against it.

Yusjia was somewhat bewildered; how could she not know that her work was already so popular?
However, Yuska quickly realized what was happening.

It's not about how much her paintings are actually worth.

Taking out her phone, You Sijia started daydreaming in her seat, sending messages to Meng Weiyuan.

[Yuska: Thanks to you, my net worth has doubled!]

After sending out this message, Yuska also secretly took a picture of the current auction stage.

If it weren't for her current status as the eldest daughter of the You family and the fiancée of the powerful Meng family in Beijing, how many people would be willing to bid higher for her painting?

Aesthetic appreciation is a very personal matter.

Yustia's oil painting is about 1.5 meters tall and depicts a spring scene. The colors are bright and cheerful, with various poppies dotting the lush green grass, a stream flowing nearby, and submerged herbaceous plants that look like water lilies, with pale yellow flowers blooming on them.

It was on a spring day that Yuska saw this scene in a small village on the outskirts of the city, which was not a well-known tourist attraction, when she went to enjoy the spring scenery. After taking a picture, she couldn't help but draw it when she got home.

Yu Sijia didn't expect Meng Weiyuan to reply to her at all. She knew he was very busy, and even though it was already evening, he was probably still at some business party.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, You Sijia received a reply from Meng Weiyuan on her phone.

[Meng Weiyuan: It looks good.] When You Sijia saw these two words, she couldn't help but want to laugh.

Does this person even know how to focus on the important points?

Just as You Sijia couldn't help but purse her lips and try to smile, Jiang Lingyu, who was sitting next to her, nudged her with her elbow.

"Young Miss, what if I don't get a picture?"

Yu Sijia's attention was still on her phone. "So what if I didn't take a picture? I can just draw you another one later, what do you want?"

Yuska didn't take it to heart at all.

Jiang Lingyu: "But now, it seems that Gu Yu is one of the people who has been bidding all along."

Yustia: "..."

She looked up and followed the direction Jiang Lingyu had indicated, and sure enough, Gu Yuzhen was making an offer.

Moreover, this person always raised the price decisively and swiftly, as if afraid others wouldn't know he was determined to win.

"Is he sick?" That was Yustia's first thought. "Why would he take pictures of my paintings?" Yustia frowned.

Jiang Lingyu shrugged. "Maybe he wants to buy it as a souvenir? It can't be to curry favor with your CEO Meng, can it?"

The Meng family's business has absolutely nothing to do with the Gu family's.

Yuska felt a little disgusted when she heard this.

"Buy it! I must buy my painting back today!" Yusjia put her phone into her small bag and said aggressively.

In the past, if Gu Yu wanted her painting, she would definitely not hesitate to lock herself in her studio for seven days and seven nights to give him her most satisfying work.

But now, the thought of Gu Yu collecting her paintings makes Yu Sijia feel uncomfortable all over.

Jiang Lingyu patted her on the shoulder, "Don't worry, sister, even if I have to go bankrupt tonight, I will buy back your painting!"

Yustia: "..."

There's no need to resort to such a desperate, resolute approach.

The price of Yuska's painting has now risen from a starting bid of 10,000 to 230,000, which is quite a significant "overpricing".

While feeling the pinch of the money, You Sijia couldn't help but curse Gu Yu inwardly as a troublemaker.

Just as Jiang Lingyu raised his sign and shouted "250,000", You Sijia couldn't help but clench her fist tightly.

Although Yu Kui-ching calls herself a money shredder, even a money shredder feels pain!

As expected, Gu Yu followed suit and bid 260,000.

Jiang Lingyu had already made a pledge to You Sijia, so of course she wouldn't back down at this time. Just as she was about to shout "270,000", someone suddenly beat her to it.

"Half a million."

This bid immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Although fetching 500,000 at a charity gala isn't much, it's a painting by a newcomer whose collectible value is widely acknowledged.

Moreover, by almost doubling the price right away, isn't that tantamount to telling everyone present that they've decided to buy it?
"Holy crap, who is this? So ignorant of the rules!" Jiang Lingyu said, annoyed.

Yuska, standing to the side, almost jumped up from her seat.

If others can't tell, how could she not know?
