“Do you know her?” Situ Zhangyou was sharp to read the room. Following Shen Xi’s line of vision, his eyes lit up with interest. He said with a smile. “Oh, a beautiful lady.”
The lady was gorgeous and a different type of beauty to the young missus. The young missus was a detached ice queen while the lady had the tough and wild look, like a rose with thorns.
“Don’t hit on her.” Shen Xi warned him. “She’s not someone you can mess with.”
Situ Zhangyou was lost in his thoughts. Apart from Boss and the young missus, who else could he not mess with in the capital or even the whole of China? “Who is she?”
“The mother of Fu Qingli’s children.” Shen Xi did not mind telling him that. However, why did Lu Li come alone? The young master of the Su family, Su Jingyan, who came to pick her up the other night was not here
with her.
With Situ Zhangyou’s jaw dropped to the ground, he tactfully stopped checking Lu Li out. Fu Qingli’s woman was definitely a handsoff!
Nevertheless, was it not rumored that Fu Qingli stayed away from women and perhaps swung the other way? Where did the mother of his children come from?
It was not his place to gossip, but nothing was stopping him from looking into it himself.
The auction soon began with the host appearing on stage. Various valuable antiques were sold off one after another at a ridiculously hefty price tag.
Shen Xi quietly kept an eye on Lu Li. Seeing that the latter did not raise her card to put in a bid, Shen Xi could guess that Lu Li was not after any ordinary item. Lu Li had her eyes on the millennial snow lotus.
Situ Zhangyou had been paying attention as well. She must be something to be able to sort Fu Qingli out. It was clear that everyone was after the snow lotus since the woman had not made a move.
The millennial snow lotus was saved for the last. The moment the showstopper was brought out, the bidders perked up and set their sights on the snow lotus.
The bid started at 10 million yuan with 500 thousand yuan increments.
The snow lotus was quickly pushed to 100 million yuan. Accustomed to the auction scene, the auctioneer on stage remained unfazed.
The complexion of bidders saw some changes as many capped their price at 100 million yuan. They could not afford any more increase.
With the price tag of 100 million steering away a lot of the bidders, the bids began to slow down and retained at the minimum increment of 500 thousand. The bid was now at 110 million yuan.
Lu Li suddenly raised her card and opened her mouth. Her clear and sweet voice echoed in the silent auction house. “120 million.”
The two competitions in the front looked toward Lu Li in unison.
One of them was a beautiful and regal lady in her prime. The lady glanced at Lu Li and frowned, wondering who Lu Li was to afford such a high bid.
The other person was a middle-aged man. Sitting next to him was a girl in her twenties, dressed up in an innocent fashion. They seemed intimate.
Jealousy alighted in the innocent-looking girl’s eyes when she saw Lu Li. Clenching and loosening her fists, she clung to the man’s body and batted her eyes at the middle-aged man. “Darling, we have to get the snow
lotus. Don’t you want to have babies with me?”
Hearing that, the middle-aged man gritted his teeth and raised his card. “125 million.”
Lu Li smiled faintly. “130 million.”
The middle-aged man became hesitant.
The girl rested her assets on the man’s trunk while breathing tingles into his ear. “Think about our baby. Is a baby less important than your money?”
Who did Lu Li, that b*tch, think she was to covet the snow lotus? The girl was not going to let Lu Li win.
“150 million.” Lu Li put forth another bid.
Unable to sit still, the middle-aged man looked daggers at Lu Li and raised his card. “160 million yuan.”
“200 million!” Lu Li looked back and nodded while smiling provokingly.
The middle-aged man could no longer hold in the bubbling rage. Sensing that the girl beside him was acting out of the norms, he asked, “Do you know her?”
Who the hell was that b*tch? He never heard of her in the capital. Must the b*tch scr*w him over for a snow lotus?
The girl drew close. “Darling, she doesn’t have money. She can’t afford it. She’s my cousin. The shameless b*tch gave birth to two b*stards without a father in the picture. My grandma took pity on her and took her in.”
The middle-aged man’s frown lines deepened. He understood the Lu family well enough to know that it would kill them to buy a snow lotus for 50 million, let alone 150 million.
Seated next to him was his latest sugar baby, Lu Meng, the daughter of the Lu family. Aged 21, the girl was beautiful, youthful, and green.
He was rich, but his wife was ugly and grumpy. The fact that his wife could not give him a son made things worse. Since his wife was seriously ill and nearly at death’s door to get into his business, the middle-aged man
grew a pair and built a love nest with the meek Lu Meng. Lu Meng wanted to give him a son, but the middle-aged man was old and not in the best of health. He also had immotile spermatozoa in his semen.
The middle-aged man came to the capital because he caught wind two days ago that China’s no. 1 shaman was here. The shaman could apparently cure anything. He sent someone to ask if there was a cure to his
condition and received word that the millennial snow lotus was crucial to his healing. The middle-aged man set out to buy the snow lotus, but some b*tch was now in his way.
“Are you sure she doesn’t have money?” The middle-aged man hissed through clenched teeth. Having never had humiliation thrown to his face, the middle-aged man vowed to put Lu Li through hell.
“She grew up in the countryside. She’s a country bumpkin who never finished high school because she had children. Where would her money come from?” Lu Meng jolted up and angrily pointed at Lu Li. “She’s a con
woman! Don’t be fooled by her. She doesn’t have that kind of money.”
This was an upscale event. Regardless of how they acted behind the scenes, the people present would keep up appearances in public.
For Lu Meng to suddenly stand up, many looked at both her and Lu Li, who had the finger pointed at her, while whispering among themselves to exchange intel. 200 million was not a small number to anyone after all..
