Chapter 66: She is quite interesting

Chu Zilan said: "Things being as they are, we can only hope that Lin Wu won't make a move again for that set of emerald jewelry later."

Rong Ci thought the same.

But...

Was it possible?

The starting price for the emerald jewelry was ten million.

Someone bid fifteen million.

Rong Ci was the second to bid: "Eighteen million."

"Twenty million."

"Twenty-five million."

Seeing that Lin Wu didn't bid, Rong Ci and Chu Zilan both breathed a sigh of relief, but just as she wanted to raise her paddle again, Lin Wu raised her paddle again.

"Fifty million."

"!"

Amidst the surprised exclamations of the whole room, Lin Wu calmly put down her hand.

Rong Ci clenched her fists, thought for a moment, and bid: "Sixty million."

"Sixty-five million."

"Seventy million."

Hearing this, Rong Ci was still hesitating in her heart.

Her grandmother's seventieth birthday was rare, if eighty million—

Just as she thought of this, Lin Wu raised her paddle again: "One hundred and twenty million."

Rong Ci's chest tightened, and after catching her breath, she silently put down the bidding paddle in her hand.

Perhaps everyone had already witnessed Feng Tingshen's wealth and arrogance.

By this point, no one else added to the bid.

The item was once again pocketed by Lin Wu.

Among the remaining auction items, there were none that Rong Ci wanted, however, the auction house rules stated that one could not leave before the auction ended, so Rong Ci had to stay in the auction hall.

The remaining few auction items were relatively more expensive, and seeing Feng Tingshen spend over three hundred and sixty million casually in one night, Chu Zilan couldn't help but say: "Could it be that Feng Tingshen will bid again? Even if he has more money, he shouldn't spend it like this, right? He really doesn't go soft at all when spending money for that mistress."

Regarding these questions from Chu Zilan, Rong Ci could not give her an answer.

However, the answer came out very quickly; Feng Tingshen did not bid again.

After the auction ended, Rong Ci and Chu Zilan left the auction hall.

When leaving, Rong Ci did not look at Feng Tingshen's side again.

Chu Zilan, however, was quite focused on that side, so she saw Ren Jifeng go over to Feng Tingshen and Lin Wu to greet them.

When Rong Ci and Chu Zilan walked out of the auction hall, an elder Chu Zilan knew walked towards them.

After the other party exchanged pleasantries with Chu Zilan, her gaze fell on Rong Ci, and she asked gently: "Zilan, this young lady looks very unfamiliar, I wonder whose daughter she is?"

Chu Zilan introduced Rong Ci to the other party.

The noble lady listened, and her smile faded a bit: "So it's Mr. Rong's niece, she really is quite pretty..."

She also knew a little about the Rong family's situation.

It was said that Mr. Rong's sister had not been in good mental health due to emotional setbacks when she was young, and had basically lived in a nursing home all these years.

Rong Ci looked so good, and her temperament seemed gentle, if her educational background was also good, even if her mother had some mental problems, it wouldn't be a big deal.

It was a pity that the Rong family's business had been going downhill for the past two years.

Even if Rong Changsheng had been running around for the company, the chances of the Rong family's business coming back to life were not high.

With these two major flaws, even if Rong Ci looked good and was to her liking, it was not enough to qualify her to enter her family's door.

What a pity...

The noble lady clearly hadn't said anything, but Rong Ci and Chu Zilan both vaguely heard the other party's meaning.

The noble lady still had things to say to Chu Zilan, so they didn't leave immediately.

At this time, Feng Tingshen, Lin Wu, and Ren Jifeng also walked out of the auction hall inside.

Ren Jifeng reached out to Feng Tingshen and Lin Wu: "I have something to do, I'll leave for a while, let's talk next time."

Feng Tingshen: "Talk next time."

Ren Jifeng nodded and left with his friends.

At this time, others came to greet Feng Tingshen.

Feng Tingshen turned to the side, facing Rong Ci, and their gazes happened to meet.

Rong Ci paused and was the first to look away.

Feng Tingshen also retracted his gaze and started chatting with the person who came to greet him.

Seeing that Feng Tingshen still maintained such an indifferent attitude towards Rong Ci, Lin Wu slowly curled her lips.

After chatting with people for more than ten minutes, Chu Zilan's mouth was thirsty.

Chu Zilan and Rong Ci went to the beverage area together, intending to drink something to moisten their throats before leaving.

There was no one here, and just as Chu Zilan was about to speak, a conversation suddenly sounded from the side.

"Jifeng, are you... interested in Feng Tingshen's girlfriend?"

"Interested is not the word, but... she is indeed quite interesting."

Rong Ci and Chu Zilan paused.

It turned out to be Ren Jifeng and his friends.

However, they were facing away from them, and most of their line of sight was blocked by a row of drinks, so they didn't notice Rong Ci and Chu Zilan.

"At the auction, I saw you were also quite interested in that gentle beauty beside Chu Zilan. Now that beauty is probably still in the hall, aren't you going to go and say hello?"

Rong Ci didn't expect their topic to suddenly turn to her.

Before Rong Ci could react, Chu Zilan raised her eyebrows, just about to pull Rong Ci over to play matchmaker, when Ren Jifeng shook his head over there and said with little interest: "No."

Chu Zilan paused.

"Hmm? What's wrong? Suddenly not interested anymore?"

Ren Jifeng: "Yeah. That beauty is indeed pretty, it's just that... she looks gentle and quiet, with no personality, so I suddenly felt it was boring."

"Damn, and you said you weren't interested in Lin Wu!"

This was clearly that after chatting with Lin Wu just now, he was more interested in Lin Wu, and having seen something better, he couldn't look at the previous one.

"That's really not it, it's just—"

Ren Jifeng paused, and his friend laughed: "I understand, it's just that someone like Lin Wu has become your current ideal type, right? But this still indirectly shows that you are interested in Lin Wu, hahahaha!"

Before Ren Jifeng could speak, his friend said again: "But honestly, Lin Wu is arrogant and cold, she is indeed more exciting and has more desire for conquest."

"Moreover, ever since Lin Wu appeared in the circle, many in the circle have been quite interested in her, even dreaming about her. It's a pity that she is Feng Tingshen's woman. I have to say, Feng Tingshen's eye for women is also quite unique."

Chu Zilan's smile froze, then she sank her face, wanting to go over and teach those two people who discussed others casually a lesson, but was held back by Rong Ci.

Rong Ci shook her head and said calmly: "It doesn't matter."

Perhaps she had no personality, perhaps she was ordinary.

But she was just her.

She knew what she was like.

Whether passersby liked her or not was not that important to her.

After Ren Jifeng and the others finished speaking, they drank the water in their hands, put down their cups, and left.

Chu Zilan was furious: "I used to think Ren Jifeng was a master at identifying green tea bitches, and thought he was quite individual and interesting, I didn't expect that even he would be fascinated by Lin Wu!"

Before Rong Ci could speak, a sleazy-looking man walked towards them.

He and Chu Zilan also knew each other.

His kidney-deficient, puffy eyes looked at Rong Ci lecherously, and he smiled: "Zilan, is this your friend—"

Before the other party could open his mouth, Chu Zilan knew what he meant: "What kind of trash are you, daring to covet my friend? Get lost!"

The other party's expression was not very good: "Chu Zilan, you!"

Chu Zilan shot a sharp glare at him.

The Chu family was not to be trifled with either, and the other party didn't dare to really anger Chu Zilan, so he left.

Chu Zilan took a big gulp of her drink, her chest hurting from anger: "How many is this that has come to hit on you tonight? Why are they all trash men? And why is it that the high-quality men all like Lin Wu's type?!"

Rong Ci helped her smooth her breath.

She thought, because Lin Wu was indeed excellent, indeed outstanding.

However, before she could say this, Chu Zilan's expression suddenly turned cold.

Rong Ci followed her gaze and saw Lin Wu standing not far from their side.

She was holding two glasses of water in her hand.

She didn't know when she had arrived, but looking at the curled lips of Lin Wu, Rong Ci and Chu Zilan both felt that Lin Wu had probably heard the conversation between Ren Jifeng and his friends.

Seeing them look over, Lin Wu's smile deepened, but she didn't speak, gave Rong Ci a cold and disdainful look, and then turned and left with her cup.
