The voice of the man who spoke was not quiet. Although the hall below was noisy, his voice still reached everyone's ears accurately.

Everyone looked over, including Shen Ke.

In the middle of the hall, I saw a majestic old man with a cane. He was standing on the stage at the moment. His aura made people dare not underestimate him.

Many people who came to this kind of banquet for the first time were secretly speculating on the identity of this old man, but Shen Ke knew very well that this was Lu Yu's old housekeeper.

It seems that this old housekeeper is not only in charge of Lu Yu's food, clothing, housing and transportation, but also takes care of Lu Yu's business.

"Who is this old man? Why is he here to announce the bidding results?" At this time, the two people were talking quietly next to Shen Ke.

"Don't you know yet? This is Lu Yu's butler. Do you know, Lu Yu? That is the current head of the Lu family."

The person who replied obviously had great respect for Lu Yu and the Lu family, and couldn't help but emphasize: "Lu Yu is in charge of the Lu family at a young age, and the Lu family group is more powerful than all the families here... and I heard that Lu Yu is a sinister person. The situation is uncertain, but in short, don’t mess with the Lu family and Lu Yu if you offend anyone.”

This man's voice was very low, and the surrounding environment was quiet, so many people heard what he just said.

Everyone was shocked for a moment.

Of course, the people who were surprised were ordinary people who had not received any news. Their family income could barely reach the threshold of this banquet. They just came to observe and participate in this banquet and did not dare to have any other thoughts.

The leading figures in S City were still very well informed. At least Shen's mother and Qi's mother looked very calm on their faces. Even Qi Xiao, who had just lost his mind, showed no signs of surprise.

The Lu family is the existence that everyone here looks up to.

Although the Lu family is located in City S, everyone knows that with the financial resources of the Lu family, they can be ranked among the best in the country, otherwise the Lu family would not be fully responsible for such a major bidding matter.

Under such circumstances, everyone naturally gathered here, waiting quietly for the old butler of the Lu family on the stage to announce the success of the bidding.

People from the Qi family and Shen family were the most excited, especially Shen's mother, who had already grabbed Shen Ke's hand tightly from below.

Shen Lian also nervously and excitedly grabbed Qi Xiao's hand, and even shook it slightly twice.

Qi Xiao was a little absent-minded. He just glanced at Shen Lian and quickly looked away.

He even raised his eyes to look at Shen Ke.

However, Shen Ke's eyes were obviously not on him, but on the stage. Her chin looked very beautiful at Qi Xiao's angle, and Qi Xiao almost lost his mind again.

Qi's mother saw all this and couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

The corners of her lips were filled with pride, and she lowered her lips and whispered to Mother Shen:

"Ke'er is really getting more and more beautiful. I see, our Qi Xiao can't take our eyes away from your Ke'er today."

Mrs. Qi didn't think there was anything wrong with her words at all. In the upper class society, marriage was a normal thing, and relationships and other things were nonsense:

"This bidding meeting... Our family has already said that it is quite promising... If possible, why not continue the engagement between our two families, and then it will be considered a strong alliance."

As for Shen Lian...this is not within Mrs. Qi's consideration.

She didn't like Shen Lian in the first place. If her son hadn't insisted on marrying her, she wouldn't have agreed.

Now that Qi Xiao was obviously more attracted to Shen Ke, Mrs. Qi couldn't help but have some thoughts.

Mother Shen's eyes almost rolled to the sky.

She finally understood that there was something wrong with the people of the Qi family. Just as she was about to be sarcastic, she heard the old housekeeper on the stage say "Mr. Shen".

Mr. Shen, who has the ability to take on this bidding project, doesn't think much about it other than his family.

Mother Shen's eyebrows were instantly filled with a smile. Seeing everyone turning back to look at her, she felt extremely proud.

She just said that her husband has always been reserved and determined to win. If he was not absolutely sure, he would never say anything big in front of her.

And the humiliation their family suffered a few days ago was nothing at all in the face of this huge profit.

The joke is that everyone just talks about it in private. If we can make good friends with the Shen family quickly now, in the future, the Shen family will give them something from the gaps between their fingers, which will also be very considerable benefits.

Needless to say, the shrewdness of this group of people came forward to surround Mother Shen, and squeezed out Mrs. Qi and Qi Xiao and Shen Lian, who were very proud at first.

"Oh, Mrs. Shen, I really congratulate you. I didn't expect your bidding to go so smoothly. Our old Gong has long been saying that your family is very promising."

"Isn't that right? You are really enjoying yourself. Your life is really getting better and better."

"..."

A group of noble ladies smiled and socialized with Shen's mother. Shen's mother did not mind trouble. She liked the feeling of being surrounded by stars.

Especially when she saw Mrs. Qi's embarrassed face from the gap between the crowd holding her, she felt even better.

If it weren't for time and upbringing constraints just now, she would have even wanted to spit on Mrs. Qi directly.

She thought that her son was so rich and valuable that he had already caused such a scandal, yet he still shamelessly wanted to continue to have something to do with her daughter.

He is not the emperor of ancient times!

Mother Shen looked at Mrs. Qi calmly, the pride and provocation in her eyes made Mrs. Qi fall back in anger, turned around and left.

How could Shen Lian watch Mrs. Qi leave?

Although she was confused about how the Shen family could get the quota in this tender, Qi Xiao had promised her before.

This time I want to announce my identity as the future wife of the Qi family in public!

If Mrs. Qi leaves and is not here to witness it... then this dignity will be greatly reduced!

Shen Lian didn't care about the discomfort she felt, and even took the initiative to hold Qi Xiao's hand, pleading in her eyes.

Although Qi Xiao looked at Shen Ke blankly just now, but now he looked back at Shen Lian's equally charming face and hesitated.

He has already promised Lian'er...and Lian'er is already his own now...

Thinking of this, Qi Xiao took the initiative to try to persuade Mrs. Qi to stay:

"Mom, didn't you promise me that you would stay here and listen to me in public today..."

Before Qi Xiao had finished speaking, Mrs. Qi's angry words came out:

"Why stay? My face has not been completely humiliated today. You still want me to stay here!"

She looked at Shen Lian with sharp sword-like eyes, with a sinister look in her eyes: "I just said before that you are not willing to marry Shen Ke. Look, now that the Shen family's bidding has been successful, you If you marry an adopted daughter, what share will our family get?"

Several people have now arrived at a place with relatively few people, so Mrs. Qi said this without any scruples and her malice was not concealed.

Shen Lian didn't expect Mrs. Qi to say this so frankly. Tears fell down in an instant. She broke away from Qi Xiao's hand and ran out of the hall.
