“Kid, you’re 20 years too early to be competing with me on money matters.”
The entire crowd gasped, they looked at Lu Jinwen’s imposing figure in a daze. This man hadn’t aged at all, he was still as overbearing as he used to be in his younger days.
He possessed the kind of wealth that one could only obtain after experiencing much in life. Though Gu Mohan had utmost control over the entire Capital, he still wasn’t able to hold a candle to Lu Jinwen.
Lu Jinwen stretched his legs, walking in front of the People room.
Who was inside the People room?
Was it Lin Xuanji?
Tang Mo’er stood in the middle of the stage that was downstairs, lifting her head to look at Lu Jinwen walk in front of the People room. She didn’t have a shred of emotion on her face.
The entire crowd gasped while they looked at Lu Jinwen. Lu Jinwen had been romantically involved with the Lin Sisters and it became somewhat of a legend. The young master of the Lu family and the talented Lin Xuanji were indeed a matching couple.
But it was such a shame, the matching couple had separated.
Then Madam Xuanji had disappeared.
But was Madam Xuanji back in the Capital again?
If Madam Xuanji had returned, they would be able to witness the reunion of Lu Jinwen and Lin Xuanji.
Standing tall in front of the bead curtain, Lu Jinwen stretched his large hand out to lift up the bead curtain.
There wasn’t a single soul inside of the room.
Lin Xuanji wasn’t inside.
No one was inside the room at all.
Lu Jinwen scanned around the room with his sharp gaze, he didn’t find the one he was looking for.
Three years, she had left for three whole years.
She had left him behind at the Passion River, he could still remember the words she said before she had left, it rang in his ear every day and night—-
“Lu Jinwen, I’ll be back. Don’t ever invest real feelings in me. If you really do fall in love with me and I’m your only weakness on earth, I’ll make sure to take advantage of that fact and hurt you in the worst way possible.”
He had been waiting for her all these years.
Waiting for her to be back.
Waiting for her to return and take her revenge.
No matter what their love-hate relationship had become, they had already become one, they could never leave each other.
But even now, why hadn’t she returned? It had already been three years…
Gradually, Lu Jinwen’s face turned somber, his lips curving into a sardonic smile. He turned around and spotted a familiar, red figure standing in the lobby downstairs with his peripheral vision.
So enchanting, so beautiful.
Lu Jinwen’s pupils instantly contracted, Lin Xuanji!
It was Lin Xuanji!
He stretched his legs, running down the stairs as he rushed across the lobby and chased after her.
The guests downstairs all witnessed Lu Jinwen running out of the place. The man was just like a king, behaving haughtily his entire life but that was their first time seeing him so frantic.
“What happened to President Lu? Who is he chasing after?”
“Could it be Madam Xuanji? Is Madam Xuanji back?”
Everyone started whispering amongst themselves.
Tang Mo’er glanced at the auctioneer before the auctioneer quickly got back on topic. “Dear guests, let’s continue with the auction of the collaboration rights to work with King-back.”
Butler Ye hadn’t left, he looked at Tang Mo’er while speaking respectfully, “Elder Miss, though Sir had left, the price he offered still holds. Elder Miss, you may choose between Sir or President Gu.”
Lu Jinwen had decided to let Tang Mo’er make her own decision.
The auctioneer looked at Tang Mo’er, awaiting her decision. “Miss Tang, who are you going to pick?”
Everyone was waiting for Tang Mo’er’s answer.
She suddenly heard some steady footsteps approaching, it was Gu Mohan walking down the stairs. Everyone subconsciously moved away to create a path for him, he was just like a king that was deeply respected by the crowd.
Gu Mohan arrived in the center of the stage, standing beside Tang Mo’er. “Miss Tang, pick me, hm?”
Tang Mo’er looked at the man’s imposing figure, his handsome face getting closer to her and she smiled. “President Gu, why should I pick you?”
“Because I’d make you my queen.”
Because he’d make her his queen.
He would never miss any of the important stages in her life. If she were to become the queen of jewelry, he would be the one to personally place her on the throne.
Tang Mo’er’s heart thumped once she heard that. When her eyes met his, his gaze was gentle and filled with tenderness.
…
Along the corridor, Lu Jinwen had chased after the red figure, but it had suddenly disappeared. As though that was merely his hallucination.
How could it be? Was he really imagining things?
Old Master Lin’s voice appeared behind him. “Jinwen, what are you doing here?”
Lu Jinwen turned around, Old Master Lin and Lin Xuanyin had come to look for him.
For the past three years, Lin Xuanyin had been suffering from heartaches. Moreover, Lu Jinwen had scarred her face at the Passion River back then, she had aged even more rapidly and her face was filled with wrinkles.
But Lin Xuanyin still loved Lu Jinwen very much and she called his name lovingly, “Jinwen.”
Lu Jinwen gave them a cold-eyed stare and didn’t say a word.
“Jinwen, Mo’er’s auction has just ended, and she has chosen Gu Mohan, meaning C.T Corporation has obtained the rights to work with King-back for seven billion US dollars.”
Mo’er had chosen Gu Mohan.
Lu Jinwen showed no reaction at all, his gaze remaining calm. He had already expected the outcome to turn out that way.
“Jinwen, are you done handling all of your matters for today? It’s rare for Dad to be in the Capital, let’s have dinner together tonight.”
Lu Jinwen’s imposing figure was half concealed in the darkness, his expression couldn’t be seen clearly. He moved his lips and replied, “Alright, I’ll get my secretary to set up a reservation.”
Lin Xuanyin beamed. “Dad, Jinwen, let’s leave then.”
They took the elevator together and Old Master Lin snuck a glance at Lu Jinwen. “Jinwen, Mo’er’s King-back will be collaborating with C.T Corporation. That will definitely cause an impact on DHA Diamonds. The contract for DHA Diamonds’ partner is going to be up soon. Jinwen, could you allow DHA Diamonds to sign a contract to work with your business empire?”
Not only did Old Master Lin take DHA Diamonds away, he was even planning to latch onto Lu Jinwen’s business empire. With such a large-scale business empire supporting DHA Diamonds, it would be virtually impossible for DHA Diamonds to fail.
Although Old Master Lin had lost today, he wasn’t worried. As long as Lu Jinwen supported him, he could get everything back.
Lu Jinwen didn’t speak, no one could tell what was on his mind.
Old Master Lin then gave Lin Xuanyin a signal, and she quickly put her hand over her chest and coughed. “Jinwen, there hasn’t been a suitable heart for me to receive a transplant yet, the doctor has said that I don’t have much longer to live. I hope that you can treat the Lin family better.”
Lu Jinwen gave Lin Xuanyin a glance before he moved his lips. “I’ll get my secretary to handle it.”
He had agreed!
Lin Xuanyin was instantly delighted. “Thank you, Jinwen.”
Old Master Lin nodded in satisfaction.
The secretary had driven the limousine over, and a servant pulled open the door. Old Master Lin crouched over, preparing to get in the limousine.
But a luxury car appeared and parked opposite them, a red figure appearing suddenly before everyone’s eyes.
