Chapter 120 It’s a pity that she is an illegitimate daughter
This 20-carat green emerald has been highly sought after by the rich.
Afraid that someone like Gu Zheng was deliberately driving up the price, Lu Xiangning hesitated to take action until the auctioneer shouted "73.5 million twice."
Gu Zheng encouraged in a low voice, "If you lift it quickly, if you don't lift it, it will be Liu Ziang's fault."
Lu Xiangning told him to shut up with a "tsk", and then he slowly raised his card.
The auctioneer's eyes lit up and he shouted excitedly: "No. 7, 73.55 million once."
There were exclamations at the scene. After several rounds of fighting, I thought it would be settled soon, but another big boss unexpectedly appeared.
No. 7, isn’t that Mr. Lu?!
After everyone reacted, they were even more shocked when they thought about the news on recent hot searches.
They are all in the same circle, and each one has better news than the last.
"Isn't Lu Xiangning going to divorce Li Zao and get back together with Zhao Zichu?"
"The Zhao family is in such a state of decline, and Lu Xiangning is not stupid and wants to get back together with them. He has too much money and nowhere to spend it. Do you want to help the Zhao family pay off their debts?"
"I almost lost my life when we eloped. That was true love."
"Hey, what's true love? Now Li Zao is bright and smooth, isn't he better than Zhao Zichu? It's a pity that he is an illegitimate daughter."
"Don't talk about illegitimacy or illegitimacy. Some husbands give green emeralds as gifts."
"Well, they say that after many years of marriage, a daughter-in-law has to survive to become a mother-in-law. I don't think Bai Xuting can survive. Both her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are doing better than her."
Liu Ziang, who had always been in the lead, wanted to compete again and raised his card.
Auctioneer: "No. 19, 73.6 million once."
Lu Xiangning decisively increased the price because what he wanted was a sure win.
Auctioneer: "No. 7, 73.65 million once... Do you want to add No. 19?"
Liu Ziang had competed for several rounds before and had exhausted all his excitement. The price had indeed exceeded his limit.
He bowed his hands to Lu Xiangning, indicating that he would not argue.
Auctioneer: "Seventy-three million six hundred and fifty thousand twice."
Li Zao had been in a state of confusion. He turned to look at Lu Xiangning blankly, confirming that the number in his hand was No. 7, "Are you... rich?"
Lu Xiangning squeezed her hand to reassure her.
But how could she feel at ease?
"Don't spend impulsively, or you may become insolvent."
Lu Xiangning shushed her and told her to stop talking.
Li Zao saw that he was unmoved and started to encourage Gu Zheng, "Hey, Mr. Gu, please hold up your sign. You have brought your new girlfriend. How dare you let her go home empty-handed?"
While they were still talking in a low voice, the auctioneer over there excitedly knocked the last hammer, "Seventy-three million six hundred and fifty thousand, deal done."
There was a "ding" sound, and Li Zao felt that the sound made her heart hurt.
Immediately, the auction ended, and the audience burst into warm applause.
People nearby came forward to congratulate, "Mrs. Lu, congratulations."
"Mr. Lu is so generous and Mrs. Lu is so lucky."
"Mrs. Lu, come out and hang out with us more often in the future."
Li Zao greeted those people with a smile, some of them looked familiar, and most of them he had never seen before.
Bai Xuting's face, the fake smile on his face is even uglier than crying.
Lu Xianglan walked in the opposite direction from the ordinary seats and walked to his parents with difficulty, "It's so noisy in the back, the seats are small and crowded, and they only provide mineral water, not even coffee."
Seeing Li Zao surrounded by ladies, Lu Xianglan felt jealous and depressed.
On the day her studio opened, she spent a lot of energy and money on publicity, but because the identity of Li Zao's illegitimate daughter was exposed, the popularity far outweighed the news of her studio's opening.
And a series of subsequent incidents prevented the news about her studio from being on the hot search for a long time.
Lu's public relations staff were too busy to help her.
All her publicity fees were wasted.
Today, she is the daughter of the Lu family, but she can only sit in an ordinary seat.
Li Zao, an illegitimate daughter from a small family, unexpectedly became so famous.
The more she thought about it, the more unconvinced she became.
"Mom, don't you like that tapestry fan? Why don't you even participate?"
Speaking of this, Bai Xuting subconsciously rolled his eyes at Lu Qing beside him, and then said angrily: "Your elder brother has raised the price like that, how can I participate? Your father spent a lot of money on Zhao Honghu...
…”
"Shhh..." Lu Qing stopped him immediately, "There are so many people, what if the news reaches the old man's ears?"
Bai Xuting snorted coldly, the more he looked at him, the more he looked like an eyesore and useless thing.
Lu Xianglan: "Ah? Didn't grandpa say before that you should not have any interest entanglements with Zhao Honghu? Why didn't you listen?"
Bai Xuting: "Your father is very capable."
Lu Qing was so aggrieved that he couldn't say that his investment was in vain. He had nowhere to vent his grievances. "Okay, let's go home." He turned to his daughter and told her, "Keep your mouth tight and don't tell anyone."
"oh……"
At this time, Lu Yao held the old man in one hand and held the orchid fan in the other, fanning the wind and came over, "Don't say anything, can you tell us?"
Three people: "..."
Lu Xianglan reacted faster, "Oh, sister-in-law, my mother wants to see this round fan, is that okay?"
Bai Xuting: "..." It's really embarrassing.
Lu Yao deliberately waved her fan, and slowly waved it in front of Bai Xuting, "Sister-in-law, isn't it easy to see it? As a little girl, I will definitely let you see it first."
Bai Xuting covered up his embarrassment with a smile, "Beautiful, so beautiful. Look at the shape from a distance and the craftsmanship up close. This is the most exquisite small tapestry piece I have ever seen. Congratulations."
Lu Yao said happily: "Well, I think it looks good too. It matches my mother's temperament perfectly. Sister-in-law, if you like it, you can ask my mother to borrow it in the future."
Bai Xuting's face turned green and white. She lost face and had to cover up her husband. She shouldn't have come today.
Lu Yao felt so happy when she saw her expression.
Although Zhu Ziqiu himself did not come, he had already won.
Ji Li personally invited Lu Xiangning and Li Zao to deliver the goods inside.
A group of Ji's bodyguards cleared the way and escorted him all the way.
Entering inside, Ji Li showed his signature warm smile and first extended his hand to Li Zao, "Congratulations."
Everyone else was saying congratulations, but he was the only one saying congratulations.
As soon as Li Zaoning raised his hand, Lu Xiangning reached out first and took Ji Li's hand, "Thank you."
Ji Li still smiled like a spring breeze, "Brother Lu, congratulations, please pay here."
Lu Xiangning took out a black gold card and handed it to the staff on the side.
After the payment was successful, Lu Xiangning picked up the ring and put it on Li Zao's hand.
The ring surface was thicker than Li Zao's two fingers, full of nobility, thick and beautiful.
Li Zao had always been in the dark, and it wasn't until he truly felt the heavy weight that he confirmed that all of this was true.
"How are you, Mrs. Lu? Do you like it?" Lu Xiangning asked.
