Lu Xiangning received an invitation letter for Ji's Auction House's third quarter auction.
He thought that Li Zao had been working at Su Kui's gallery recently and might be interested in the auction, so he took a photo and sent it to Li Zao.
——"Want to go?"
--"go."
Lu Xiangning curled his lips and carefully put the invitation away.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xianglan called and asked for it even before the invitation was warmed up.
"Brother, have you received the invitation letter from Ji's Auction House?"
"Um."
"You probably don't have time to go to the auction. Can you give me the invitation?"
"Grandpa and dad should have it, you can ask them for it."
"Grandpa will take care of Lu Yao, and dad will take care of my mother. If I don't have any responsibility, then why don't you take me?"
"No, I'll take Li Zao."
Lu Xiangning recalled that there was a jewelry auction, and he originally wanted to take Li Zao there, but Bai Xuting asked him for an invitation letter, so he gave it to her on his own initiative, which finally made Li Zao very angry.
This time, he won't make the same mistake again.
"Li Zao? What does she know? This auction is full of works of art, which is just right for me. If you take her there, wouldn't you be cheating on yourself?"
Lu Xiangning frowned, with a look of displeasure on his face, "How did you say that? Did I say I wanted to call you sister-in-law? Do you have any manners?"
Lu Xianglan: "..."
Lu Xiangning hung up the phone dissatisfied.
In the end, Lu Xianglan entered the scene only after begging Ji Li.
Ji's auction can be said to be the largest auction of the whole year, with all categories and many fine products, and the invited guests are all rich or noble.
This seems to be just an auction, but in fact it is a gathering of the upper class.
The old man of the Lu family often shows up with his young daughter these days.
Needless to say, everyone knows this.
Lu Yao is Lu Ming's old daughter. She has been favored by the old man since she was a child. Now that she is of marriageable age, she naturally has to be brought out to see her more often.
If anyone could become Lu Ming's only son-in-law, it would be an extremely glorious thing.
Therefore, Lu Yao never lacks suitors wherever she goes.
In comparison, Lu Xianglan, who is the same age, is much worse.
When Lu Qing was young, his father Lu Ming's aura was so dazzling that no one cared about him at all.
Later, his son Lu Xiangning, as a rising star, surpassed him and directly became the president of the Lu Group. He enjoyed great fame and no one could see him.
Therefore, when choosing between becoming Lu Qing's son-in-law or becoming Lu Ming's son-in-law, a smart person would certainly choose the latter after weighing the pros and cons.
This kind of unequal treatment has also made the relationship between Bai Xuting and Zhu Ziqiu, the former best friends and now the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, even more tense.
"Dad, I must take down the tapestry fan today. I remember my mother has a cheongsam that matches it perfectly. She must like it."
"It's rare for a daughter to be filial, okay, I promise you."
Lu Qing and Bai Xuting were sitting diagonally behind them, not far away. Bai Xuting pulled her husband's arm and complained in a low voice: "Obviously I was the one who took a fancy to her first, and she wants to rob me again!
"
Lu Qing patted the back of her hand and consoled her: "That gadget is worthless. It costs tens of thousands, so where can't I buy it?"
"You don't understand. It's a tapestry piece, and it's not available on the market."
"WTF?"
Bai Xuting looked disgusted, "Just say you don't understand. It's called Kesi. In ancient times, it was used by the royal family as a symbol of power and status."
Lu Qing complained: "The Qing Dynasty has been dead for more than a hundred years."
Bai Xuting: "..."
It’s really not enough to say a word without speculation.
Gu Zheng also came, bringing with him a new female companion, a little flower on the rise.
The heroine of the movie they invested in is named Zhang Rui.
As soon as he arrived, he asked Lu Xiangning, "Lao Lu, the heroine of the movie, is she upright?"
Lu Xiangning had a straight face, not daring to look at his eyes or move his mouth. "Li Zhao, have you asked me if other women are upright?"
Gu Zheng probably understood his difficulty. He walked past him and greeted Li Zao, "Sister-in-law, Lao Lu has invested in my new movie. I will bring the heroine over to show him. I have no other intention."
Li Zao had been sending WeChat messages to Su Kui and responded with a perfunctory "Oh".
There were many people at the scene. In addition to the VIP seats in this area, there were also ordinary seats at the back and on both sides. There were many reporters sitting on the ordinary seats, all taking pictures of Gu Zheng.
One is a film and television giant worth tens of billions, and the other is a new traffic star. Just by being in the same frame, they can imagine an emotional drama.
Su Kui arrived late, but fortunately Li Zao asked He Bing to wait for her at the verification office in advance and lead her the way, so she found the place smoothly.
Gu Zheng was talking to Zhang Rui. When he saw Su Kui, his eyes lit up. Lu Xiangning and Li Zao greeted Su Kui across the street, "Hi, Short Winter Melon, long time no see."
Su Kui: "..." Damn it, it's this second generation ancestor again, he should read the almanac before going out.
Gu Zheng actively asked to change seats with the Lus and his wife. This time, he sat down next to Su Kui, but Lu Xiangning was next to Zhang Rui.
This was the first time Zhang Rui saw Lu Xiangning in person, and her eyes were straight.
A newly-minted little girl who worked her way up from the lower ranks and was chosen by the director to be the heroine of a movie at a glance, she is naturally a beautiful woman with outstanding appearance and temperament.
She was beautiful and confident, and she made no secret of her admiring and longing eyes for Lu Xiangning.
"Mr. Lu, I have long admired your name."
Lu Xiangning turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw Zhang Rui's hand stretched out to him, which looked like the tentacles of an octopus, and he showed a look of disdain.
Zhang Rui covered up her embarrassment with a smile, pointed at Li Zao, and praised: "Mrs. Lu is indeed as beautiful and sassy as the rumors say, and she is a perfect match for you, Mr. Lu."
Lu Xiangning's scalp went numb after hearing this, so he pulled Li Zao up and exchanged seats.
Zhang Rui: "..."
Li Zao was inexplicably moved to his seat twice. He laughed dryly twice and nodded as a sign of goodwill, "Thank you for the compliment, may I ask...who are you?"
Zhang Rui: "..."
Over there, Su Kui saw Gu Zheng changing seats and wanted to run away immediately.
"Diao Donggua, this is the VIP area. You came in through the back door, right?"
Su Kui glared at him fiercely, took out the envelope of the invitation, pointed to the name on the envelope, and said, "Ms. Su Kui, please!"
"Oh, it's a forgery, right? How could Ji send you an invitation letter to the VIP area?"
Su Kui clenched his fists, every joint turning white, "You second generation ancestor with nostrils on the top of your head, don't look down on me."
The angrier she became, the happier Gu Zheng became. He rested his elbows on the middle armrest and leaned his entire upper body over it, "Hey, I can't tell, Xiao Donggua, do you have a special identity? Take off your clothes quickly.
Vest, let me see what kind of monster this young master is."
Su Kui: "..." Is this person mentally ill?
The auction began, and the audience was silent.
The auctioneer walked onto the stage and began today's process.
Because we had seen the exhibition preview before, everyone knew what was going on and took pictures when it was their turn, and watched the excitement when it was not their turn.
Li Zao and Su Kui watched the fun until the appearance of the orchid fan.
"The following is a little surprise from this auction. This work did not have time to participate in the exhibition and was only previewed on the auction website. However, there are many people who are interested in it."
