In Gu Ruochu's eyes, Huo Jingjing was merely an illegitimate daughter, yet she was using the Huo family name to flaunt her authority. She was not embarrassed. Traditionally, a mistress's upbringing towards her daughter was not viewed favorably by society.
She had the nerve to say that she had snatched a man. Didn't she see how her mistress mother behaved?
"Huo Jingjing, the rules tonight are that the highest bidder gets the land. If you really have money, bid properly and do not make a scene here."
"Do you think you can call me by my name? If I say I want this land, then I must have it." Huo Jingjing looked at her with disdain as her expression changed slightly.
She didn't expect Gu Ruochu to be so calm and collected. She had acted unpleasantly, but her indifferent reaction made her look like a jumping shrew.
Seeing this situation, the auctioneer couldn't help but feel troubled.
On one side was the Young Miss of the Huo family, and on the other side was Madam Huo. He weighed the pros and cons and didn't want to offend either side. The owner of the piece of land had been secretly observing the situation. Seeing that the two of them had raised the price to more than a million yuan because of their fight, he was naturally delighted.
But now that he saw the situation, he was a little dumbfounded. From the looks of it, he had to offend one of them. Even though Huo Jingjing was an illegitimate daughter, the Huo family still favored her.
As for Mrs. Huo, her status in the Huo family wasn't that high.
Just as he was hesitating, a man in a suit suddenly walked up and whispered something into his ear. He nodded and immediately understood what to do.
"Mrs. Huo, since Miss Huo wants this piece of land, it's fine for you to reluctantly give it to her. After all, we're family, aren't we? Mrs. Huo is virtuous and sensible, she shouldn't mind these things."
Did this mean that he would give the piece of land to Huo Jingjing?
Seeing his reaction, Gu Ruochu knew what he was planning. It was true that her position in the Huo family was not high, but the rumors from such a humiliation would spread like the wind.
"Since this gentleman is not willing to abide by the rules of the night, I will not object. After all, this is your territory." Gu Ruochu's sarcastic remark made the rich man blush and he could only smile a little.
Huo Jingjing was very pleased with herself. Even if Gu Ruochu had married into the Huo family, she could still bully her.
"At least you're sensible. Don't compare me to my sister-in-law. I'm not as loose and shameless as she is." She did not forget to embarrass Gu Ruochu in front of the crowd. She wanted to humiliate her. "Yanwei, don't you agree? Who in the family recognizes her? I'm afraid that her status is even lower than my dog's!
"Even the Huo family's dog has a servant to take care of it. Who Does Gu Ruochu think she is?"
"Jingjing, stop it." Gu Yanwei interrupted Huo Jingjing. It was as if she was afraid that she would expose their alliance. "Ruochu, Jingjing is just outspoken and immature at such a young age."
"Don't worry, I won't argue with the daughter of a mistress." Gu Ruochu evilly curled the corners of her lips. Her cold voice deliberately dragged out the end of her sentence, shocking the crowd. "After all, a mistress is still a mistress. It's normal for the daughter of a mistress to be uneducated."
Everyone suddenly fell silent.
The room was so quiet that it was terrifying.
Everyone turned to look at her.
According to a popular saying, one should never hit a person in the face, and one should never expose a person's shortcomings. Madam Huo was too ruthless.
No one had ever dared to utter the word 'mistress' in front of Huo Jingjing. That was her reverse scale The words 'illegitimate daughter' still made it impossible for her to raise her head in front of the public, even if the Huo family was a prestigious family.
