Seeing her arrival, many people at the banquet showed expressions of confusion, dissatisfaction and even contempt.

"How dare she come here? Such a big thing happened in their family."

"Haha, haven't you heard that there can be two kinds of people sleeping in the same bed?"

"I think he is here to lobby for Lao Hu. Who would dare to lobby for them at this critical moment?"

"Back then, when we asked him to help investigate the kidnapping of a group of children, wasn't that the excuse they used to brush us off?"

“It’s really a retribution.”

"Why would the Murong family post to the Hu family? Aren't they having a very unhappy time recently?"

"Hey~ I think the Murong family is really wise. Unpleasantness in the business world is unpleasantness in the business world. We still have to invite people to this kind of event. After all, the money earned is from the Hu family, right?"

All kinds of dissatisfaction were heard constantly, but Ruan Niannian just pretended not to see them. She found a seat and sat down by herself, with the arrogant attitude that a wife of the Hu family should have, and did not take the initiative to talk to anyone. It seemed that she was very interested in today's party.

Wu Zhenming came backstage to see his brother, only to see the little fat boy huddled in a corner, muttering to himself while holding the manuscript in his hand.

"I haven't finished reciting it yet." Wu Zhenming laughed.

"It's so hard to memorize." Wu Qiming looked aggrieved.

"Then you have to hurry up." Wu Zhenming glanced at his watch. "It will start in less than twenty minutes. You..."

Before she finished her words, there was a burst of incredible low voices outside: "How dare he? Does he look down on the Murong family?"

"Yeah, we've all heard that Mo Xuan is a bad boy, but bringing his mistress to a charity dinner, isn't this a slap in the face of the Wu family?"

"Have they climbed up the social ladder? Are they so shameless in doing things?"

"Taboo? Have you forgotten? Back then, the eldest daughter of the Wu family was chasing after him!"

"Sister Zhenming. Are you okay?" Song Pingqing asked her.

However, Wu Zhenming's eyes were gleaming with excitement, and he didn't look at all like he was hit by his fiancé's betrayal.

Wu Qiming also noticed it. As a sibling, he was very familiar with this look and thought to himself, "Wow, great! My sister is going to do something big!"

Wu Zhenming turned around and smiled at the four people: "Sister, I'll be gone for a while. I have to do something serious."

Wu Zhenming's back looked very familiar, and it had the same meaning as the line in the Ballad of Mulan in the Chinese language textbook: "My little brother is sharpening his knife to kill pigs and sheep."

Oh wow! There's a melon!

Song Pingqing, who had memorized the manuscript by heart, put it down and said, "Let me go eat some melon."

Murong Xue, who was also ready, took her arm and said, "I'll go take a look too."

Wu Qiming looked like he was thinking: Am I the only one in the world who is not prepared for this feeling of loss?

Liu Junxi patted his shoulder: "It's okay, I'll go with you."

Wu Qiming's face was full of hope: "You haven't finished reciting it yet?"

"Uh - no, I just think it's pitiful for you to stay here alone." Liu Junxi answered hesitantly, but he was telling the truth.

"Why are there only two of you left? Where are your elder brother and elder sister?" When Gu Zongnan came out with a rooster comb hairstyle, he saw that there were only two people left there?

"They both went to eat melons." Liu Junxi replied.

"Eat melons? Are they hungry?"

Wu Zhenming, however, walked up to Mo Xuan and his old classmate with a very standard and decent smile on his face, "Mo Xuan, long time no see. Aunt's surgery should have gone smoothly, right? I specially contacted the best doctor in the country to do the flying knife."

Song Pingqing, who was walking behind, heard Wu Zhenming speak in such a gentle and graceful voice for the first time and subconsciously exclaimed "Wow" in his heart.

This sister is a good actress———

When it comes to his mother who is having surgery, Mo Xuan can't speak no matter how hard he tries. He can only keep a stiff expression and barely curl his lips: "Long time no see, she has recovered well, but she is still a little weak. I have been busy accompanying her these days and haven't had time to thank you yet."

"Really?" Wu Zhenming glanced at the woman next to Mo Xuan with a playful look, as if he had just noticed this person, "Who is——"

“This is my classmate when I was studying abroad.”

Obviously, Mo Xuan's introduction was not what the woman wanted, so she took the initiative to extend her hand to Wu Zhenming: "Hello, I am Jin Xiaowan, Mo Xuan's classmate. Mo Xuan and I have taken care of each other during these years of studying abroad."

Wu Zhenming raised his eyebrows, but did not extend his hand. Instead, he looked at Mo Xuan: "Why? Brother Mo Xuan is so dissatisfied with my fiancée? So he specially found a classmate to ridicule me?"

Wu Zhenming emphasized the four words "a classmate" and spoke in a very calm tone.

Mo Xuan said confidently: "Xiao Wan took great care of me when I was abroad. You are my fiancée, so you should be more tolerant and generous."

Wu Zhenming smiled and looked around: "Brother Mo Xuan, you are a smart man. You must know what it means to bring a woman to such an occasion."

Without waiting for Mo Xuan to speak, Wu Zhenming continued, "Then I will wait to give Brother Mo Xuan a wedding gift. Oh, by the way, since Brother Mo Xuan is so capable, I guess he won't need the cooperation of the Pingnan project."

Mo Xuan couldn't bear it and said coldly: "Who cares about your one or two projects? How can I marry a woman like you who is so arrogant and rude?"

Wow! Such a familiar plot! Such a familiar formula!

Song Pingqing's eyes lit up. Without spending a penny, he could experience the bloody drama between a rich young man and his daughter. Who wouldn't love such a rebirth?

Hearing him say this, Wu Zhenming smiled brightly, as if he had solved a difficult problem. He said in a brisk tone, "Alright, Mo's has been rather perfunctory in fulfilling the contract recently, and my parents and I are thinking of changing people. Thank you, Mr. Mo, for your help."

"Mo Xuan, you can't do this for me—" Jin Xiaowan was about to cry, "I don't want to embarrass you."

Sister, your acting skills are a bit poor.

It was a little bit different, but Song Pingqing found it very interesting.

"Shh, Xiaowan, it's not your fault. You know, the person I love is you, and only you." Mo Xuan's face was full of affection. "Trust me, I will take care of it, okay?"

Song Pingqing nodded repeatedly as he watched, and he couldn't be more satisfied.

Seeing her like this, Murong Xue pinched her arm while holding her hand and said, "You are satisfied with this melon."

Song Pingqing looked relieved: "I just like this kind of love brain."

"Is this your expectation for love?" Murong Xue asked.

"No, this is my expectation for money," Song Pingqing replied.

"Will people who are in love love to spend money?" Murong Xue wondered.

"No, but capital can coax them into spending money." Song Pingqing pointed at the eldest son of the Zhao family on the other side, "See, that one, according to Wu Qiming, he recently met a woman he really likes, and he couldn't win her over even with all the money he spent on her."

"I'm watching that. The third son of the Zhou family has a mistress named A-lister. She's really, really pretty. I heard there's a chance she could become his regular girlfriend."

Song Pingqing couldn't hide his excitement when gossiping, "And, that third young lady from the Su family, she's pursuing the school hunk from the same school, and she thinks that any jewelry related to sweet love will bring her good luck."

Murong Xue thought for a moment, "So you hope they'll argue over the price?"

"OK!"

"Is it possible?" Murong Xue had never experienced the pain of love, so she asked hesitantly.

"Yes." Song Pingqing said firmly, "As long as the marketing is good, the money will flow into your pocket."

“…What the hell…” Murong Xue held her forehead with her hand.

"Actually, there is an alternative. The jewel itself is of good value. I remember there are two or three jewelers among the people invited today." Song Pingqing chuckled.

Don’t be afraid that the truth will not change, grandma still has a big guarantee.

The Gu couple didn't know that Gu Zongnan had already gone backstage and found some work for himself, so when they saw their son become the host, their facial expressions, which were always well-managed, cracked for a moment.

"Hey, Old Gu, your son is really good. He's so close to those people from the Murong family?" Someone came to greet Gu Decie, "Why didn't you give us a heads up? That's too rude, isn't it?"

"What's the big deal? It's just a few kids socializing." Gu Decie quickly adjusted his mood and got into a social state.

Gu Zongnan is a social tough guy. Although it was his first time as a host, he was not at all stage-shy because he had a script in hand.

After a registered auctioneer with a registration number came on stage and read out the standard opening remarks and auction rules, Gu Zongnian came on stage: "The first collection was selected by Murong Xue, a large blue and white bowl from the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty. Next, Murong Xue will come on stage to introduce this collection to everyone."

As a top celebrity, Mr. Murong Ba rode in a sedan chair carried by everyone. Murong Xue's introduction was simple and plain, and she explained the collection more from a cultural perspective.

The auctioneer came on stage and announced that the starting price was 80 million, with each bid increasing by one million.

Everyone placed bids and the bidding lasted for nearly an hour until the price reached 178 million, and it was sold.

Liu Junxi did his homework and chose a Ru kiln celadon glaze washbasin from the Northern Song Dynasty. This thing is absolutely a rare item, the material is well selected, and the manuscript is quite satisfactory.

In this way, the starting price was still 68 million, and it was finally sold for 150 million.

Wu Qiming was so exhausted from choosing that he copied the assignments of Liu Junxi and Song Pingqing and chose a painting of a mountain residence, but the starting price was surprisingly as high as 100 million.

There happened to be a few nouveau riche with shallow backgrounds in the venue, and the bidding was very enthusiastic for a while. After a full hour and a half, the transaction was completed at 238 million.

When it was finally Song Pingqing's turn to look at the collection he had selected, everyone in the venue was already tired. After taking a closer look, they found that it was just an ordinary-looking necklace. They didn't know which family Song Pingqing came from, so they all felt a little slack for a moment.

Unexpectedly, the scene changed. First, there was an extremely romantic classic movie clip, which narrated the love story contained in this pink diamond necklace. Then there was the girl's ups and downs explanation, which made up a rough and sad love story for this necklace.

The older generation of capitalists: What the hell is this.

Younger generation of rich people: I want to buy this for my wife (myself)!!

Jeweler: Good marketing, I stole it, I can bid for it.

So, the starting price was 50 million, and the jewelers started bidding frantically at first, and the bidding continued until it reached 120 million before they began to gradually slow down.

The love-brained people joined the game, and the ignorant Mo family eldest son Mo Xuan started the love-brain hype first, holding the golden bowl and raising a sign to bid 121 million.

Mo Xuan's sister Mo Ruanruan has a very good relationship with Wu Zhenming. After becoming an adult, Mo Ruanruan, like Wu Zhenming, chose to leave the family and start her own business. Although her name sounds soft and cute, she is actually a ruthless person.

This woman is going crazy in the catering industry. She founded her own barbecue brand. Because she doesn't need experienced chefs, her food tastes great, and her prices are affordable, she has defeated all the experienced chefs.

"He's mentally ill." Mo Ruanruan was wearing a black leather jacket that looked very motorcycle-like and chewing bubble gum, looking particularly rebellious among the people in evening gowns.

"It's not the first day you've known that he has a mental illness," Wu Zhenming replied.

"I now feel that it was the right decision to listen to you and start my own business." Mo Ruanruan blew a huge bubble, causing the people around him to roll their eyes in dissatisfaction.

She spit out the bubble gum, and then said to Wu Zhenming: "You take the photo, I'll pay for it."

Wu Zhenming looked at her in surprise and said, "Why don't you take a picture?"

"I'm afraid I'll be beaten when I get home."

"I'm not afraid?"

"You have your parents' support." Mo snorted. Her parents only had her brother in their minds. It would be worse than nothing. "I can't let them see that I'm targeting that idiot."

"Okay." Wu Zhenming raised his sign and bid.

The price of the necklace was pushed up to 140 million.

"This is too high." Wu Qiming was stunned. "Are these people crazy?"

People who are in love are all crazy.

Song Pingqing didn't answer, but heard Wu Qiming say "wow" and looked at him in confusion.

"Why is my sister bidding? Huh?" Wu Qiming was confused. "Don't my parents care about her?"

Wu's parents are busy abroad and have not returned.

"Fuck! The bid has already reached 170 million, why is she still holding up the sign?" Wu Qiming was so anxious that he turned around in circles. "No, sister, my dear sister, are you just angry with that man?"

"Your sister shouldn't be that kind of person."...right. Song Pingqing didn't dare to speak, and looked at Murong Xue for help.

Sadly, she targeted her own sister.

Murong Xue gave her a soothing look, indicating that it was not her fault.

Song Pingqing pursed her lips and looked towards the audience, only to see that Ruan Niannian, who was originally sitting in the corner of the first row, had disappeared at some point.

Maybe I didn’t see the collection I wanted.

Song Pingqing didn't take it too seriously. After all, what did it matter to her whether Ruan Niannian was there or not? It wasn't something she should worry about.

Yes, Mo Xuan and Wu Zhenming were both furious.

Mo Xuan: "Xiao Wan, I must take a picture of this necklace for you today."

Jin Xiaowan: "Wow, woo, woo, woo, Brother Moxuan is so nice."

Wu Zhenming: "Are you going to stop? Your brother is going crazy."

Mo Ruanruan: "Hahahahahahahahahahaha I'm rich and I'm not afraid, just shoot it!"

In the end, the price reached 210 million, and Mo Xuan gave up, and the necklace was sold.

Mo Xuan led Jin Xiaowan, whose eyes were red and swollen and about to cry, to Wu Zhenming and said, "Woman, you are so cruel."

Oh my, oh my, what a dizzying situation!

Grandma Zhu, who rushed to eat the melon, saw the freshly baked melon!
