Love After Marriage - Chapter 101
Chapter 101 Why Send the Star of Hope
Lu Jingnian brought Tang Luoxin to a quiet seat.
“Are high heels comfortable?” Lu Jingnian looked down at Tang Luoxin and asked.
“Comfortable. I like this style very much. If only my heels were lower.” Lu Jingnian remembered Tang Luoxin’s words in his heart.
The host stood in the middle of the stage with a smile on his face and said loudly, “The auction will begin immediately. The first item is silk.”
As soon as the host finished speaking, he saw two staff members carrying a wooden box towards the stage.
The host opened the box and took out the silk inside. The strange patterns were colorful, intoxicating many mystical hands, beautiful lotus flowers, and leisurely wandering fish formed a brilliant ancient craft painting.
Tang Luoxin glanced at the silk on the stage with disinterest. She thought that there was something she was interested in at the auction.
Looks like she’s overthinking it!
Many people raised their signboards and began to bid.
“100,000–”
“110,000.”
“120,000–”
120,000 is already the highest price. There is no point in raising the price again, unless you really, really like it!
As time passed, Tang Luoxin frowned. Can she leave the auction first?
Seeing Tang Luoxin’s listless expression, Lu Jingnian lowered his head to her ear and whispered, “What’s wrong?”
“Hey, it’s not interesting at all. Can I leave first?” Tang Luoxin looked at Lu Jingnian and whispered.
“Next, there will be the finale. Perhaps you will like it?” Lu Jingnian said.
Tang Luoxin pursed her lips and didn’t say anything, but the indifferent curves on her lips betrayed her current mood.
Tang Luoxin did not think that the last thing she liked would be something she liked. She leaned her head against Lu Jingnian’s shoulder and said, “Lean back, I’m a little tired!”
Lu Jingnian lowered his head to look at the woman who had beheaded him first and played second fiddle. The corners of his lips curved into an invisible arc. A trace of a smile flashed across his charming phoenix eyes. He lightly nodded.
Tang Luoxin was about to squint when the host’s excited voice came from all directions, “Below is today’s final treasure. Today’s treasure is a sapphire.”
As the host spoke, he slowly took the sapphire out of the box and explained, “This Star of Hope sapphire is made in Sri Lanka. It is a 160-carat starlight sapphire. It has a plain oval face and is the size of a chicken egg. It is bright, plump, blue and slightly purple. The six starlights are bright and flawless.”
“Sapphire is not only a symbol of holiness and chastity, but also a symbol of elegance and nobility in Western society, in line with the royal family’s tradition of” Blueblood “.”
“It is said that the sapphire contains unparalleled wisdom, courage and strength. Anyone who sees a beautiful star line or touches a starlight blue treasure will reap unprecedented good luck.”
Tang Luoxin raised her head to look at the sapphire in the host’s hand. A flash of astonishment flashed in her eyes as she slowly said, “Not bad, this is the only eye that can enter.”
When Lu Jingnian heard this, his handsome face revealed a charming smile. His thin lips raised slightly, and he knew that Tang Luoxin would like it!
“However, I wonder what the price will be?” Tang Luoxin rubbed her chin with her right hand and muttered to herself.
“Star of Hope is starting at 200,000 yuan. Let’s start now!” As soon as the host finished speaking, everyone started to scramble to raise the signboard and start bidding.
“200,000!”
“Three hundred thousand!”
“Four hundred thousand!”
Tang Luoxin was surprised when she saw everyone add one hundred thousand yuan. “Oh my God! Why did you add so much at a time? Isn’t it good to add ten thousand yuan at a time?”
When Lu Jingnian heard Tang Luoxin’s surprised voice, she pursed her lips and didn’t say anything.
Tang Luoxin couldn’t get an answer from Lu Jingnian. She hurriedly got up and sat down beside Su Momo. She held her hand and asked, “These people are crazy. What do you think?”
“Haha, this is the world of the rich. We mortals won’t understand!” Su Momo smiled and said slowly with her red lips slightly raised.
“Haha, that’s right. Money isn’t that useful. I don’t know what to say!” Tang Luoxin’s bright eyes looked at the stage from time to time.
“Sister Luo Xin, you like that piece of jade very much?” Su Momo saw the surprise and love in Tang Luo’s eyes and whispered.
“I like it a little. After staying here for so long, it’s only this Star of Hope. I like it, but nothing else.” Tang Luoxin said.
“Actually, I also like it, but the price … hehe …” Su Momo chuckled a few times.
“Sigh, it’s already soared to one million.” Tang Luo shook her head regretfully. Even if they had money, they couldn’t use it like this!
“Let’s just listen!” Su Momo smiled.
“1.1 million!”
“1.3 million!”
Who added 200,000 to this one at a time?
“1.4 million!” Prices are still soaring.
“1.5 million!”
“Two million!” It was unknown which company’s boss had actually increased the price by 500,000 yuan in one breath.
To those who often came to the auction, this was nothing, but to Tang Luoxin and Su Momo, an increase of 500,000 yuan at a time was really a lot!
However, everyone’s fierce battle did not end with an increase of 500,000 yuan. Instead, it became even fiercer.
“Three million–”
“3.5 million–”
‘”Ten million” Lu Jingnian’s demonic voice slowly sounded in the air.
Tang Luoxin was dumbfounded as she looked at the woman with a calm expression. She reached out to pinch Su Momo and asked, “Does it hurt?”
Su Momo gritted her teeth and looked at Tang Luoxin, fiercely saying, “What do you think?”
“That’s true. The one who said 10 million was Lu Jingnian. Did he go crazy or something?” Tang Luoxin couldn’t understand what Lu Jingnian was doing.
Su Momo rubbed her pinched hands and whispered, “Perhaps it’s for his beloved!”
“Du Shaocheng.” Tang Luoxin nodded her head with certainty and said again, “However, Hong Kong Zhen, Lu Jingnian is really willing to spend 10 million for such a piece of jade. Even if you have money, you don’t have to spend it like this. Ah, if you have money, give me half of it!”
When Su Momo heard Tang Luoxin’s words, the corner of her lips twitched slightly. She rolled her eyes inelegantly and said, “You’re really slow!”
She felt a little sympathy for Lu Jingnian. She was handsome, rich, and protected her beloved woman everywhere. No matter how busy she was, she would still find time to accompany Tang Luoxin around.
However, Su Momo looked at Tang Luoxin, who was smiling heartlessly beside her, and shook her head. Perhaps this was the only way she could live happily.
“Ten million times!”
“Ten million twice!”
“Ten million three times!”
Everyone looked at Lu Jingnian with incredulous eyes. Either they didn’t open their mouths, or they added millions of dollars as soon as they opened their mouths!
To be clear, it was millions, not hundreds of thousands!
“Alright, the Star of Hope will be sold for 10 million!” The excited voice of the supporters rang out in the air.
Lu Jingnian pulled Tang Luoxin’s hand and walked towards the center of the stage.
Tang Luoxin was in a blurry state until she reached the center of the stage.
Tang Luoxin lowered her foot to Lu Jingnian’s ear and whispered, “Why did you pull me up!”
Everyone is watching. I’m so embarrassed, okay?
“The Star of Hope is yours, of course I will pull you up!” Lu Jingnian said naturally.
“What, what, what?” Tang Luoxin reached out and dug out her ears, her eyes filled with disbelief, and she stuttered.
“Just like you heard!” Lu Jingnian’s handsome face revealed a cool expression, her thin lips slightly raised, and her sexy and deep voice sounded in the air.
“No! Are you mistaken?” Tang Luoxin shook her head and looked at Lu Jingnian with a look of disbelief. Didn’t Momo say that Lu Jingnian was giving the Star of Hope to his beloved?
Wasn’t Lu Jingnian’s beloved Du Shaocheng?
Could it be that he was mistaken?
Tang Luoxin patted her head and tried her best to calm herself down.
“You, why did you give this to me?” Tang Luoxin looked up at the man and asked.
“Take it first. If there’s anything else, we’ll talk about it when we get home!” Lu Jingnian took the Star of Hope and placed it in Tang Luoxin’s hand.
Tang Luoxin looked up at the people below the stage, nodded lightly, held Lu Jingnian’s hand and walked down.
Until she walked out of the auction, Tang Luoxin was still vague. She never expected that the Star of Hope would fall into her hands.
She felt that what if Alexander was robbed?
The news that Lu Jingnian had spent ten million yuan to photograph the Star of Hope for his beloved wife spread through the entire Jiangcheng at lightning speed.
“Pa–”
“Bang–”
Lu Zhengwei hung up the TV and looked into the distance angrily. Thinking about how Lu Jingnian had spent 10 million yuan on Tang Luo’s heart and bought a sapphire, he felt all sorts of boredom.
He raised his right hand and threw the remote control on the ground.
The remote control was about to shatter.
Housekeeper Lu saw that Lu Zhengwei was angry again, and a trace of worry appeared on his face. Master’s temper must be controlled properly, otherwise, something really would happen!
Last time in Jin Garden, Lu Jingnian was so angry that he vomited blood. The doctor said that Master could not be angry anymore, and even if he was angry, Immortals would not be able to save his life.
“Master, Master… Close your eyes, relax, and think of something happy!” Butler Lu followed Lu Zhengwei’s back and slowly guided him.
Lu Zhengwei raised his head to look at Steward Lu. He saw that the other party was looking at him with a worried expression. He nodded lightly and took several deep breaths before the anger in his body calmed down.
“Master, don’t worry about Young Master’s affairs in the future. You should calm down and enjoy yourself instead of always going against him!” Butler Lu knew that it was a little uncomfortable for someone to say such a thing, but he couldn’t just watch his master die.
Master was in a state of excitement every day, so what was the difference between this and death!
When Lu Zhengwei heard Steward Lu’s words, he miraculously lost his temper. He raised his head to look at the other party and asked, “You also think it’s my fault!”
When Butler Lu heard this, he shook his head and said, “No, no, Master, you misunderstood. I didn’t say you were wrong. I directly felt that we shouldn’t speculate on the young people’s thoughts, nor should we regulate their behavior. We should just watch from the side!”
Butler Lu’s face was slightly pale as he looked at Lu Zhengwei with dodging eyes. He lowered his head slightly and waited for punishment.
He knew that Lu Zhengwei would definitely not let him off if he said such a thing.
“Do you think I just need to watch from the side? I don’t need to do anything. He can marry whoever he wants. He can do whatever he wants.” Lu Zhengwei asked sternly.
On the surface, he was very angry, but in his heart, he remembered all of Steward Lu’s words.
