They were all from the Carlsberg Auction House.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one who had spoken was a man in his forties– the vice president of the auction house, Sheng Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him were four people, including three executives of the auction house and the auctioneer, Yan Fei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu shook hands with Sheng Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Vice President Sheng.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A senior executive behind him was about to extend his hand when Lu Huaiyu lightly nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That person understood and withdrew his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff had already packed the gift box and sent it over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu took it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheng Yan took a look and smiled in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Second Master Lu, are you bringing a small gift for someone?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu thought for a moment and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, she likes to eat sweets.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He usually appeared to be extremely cold and reserved. Now that he had smiled, there was a hint of indulgence and gentleness in the corners of his eyes and brows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Fei’s heart skipped a beat. She smiled and said,?“It seems that Second Master Lu really dotes on this person.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu raised the tip of his brows slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s only one of her, so of course, she should be doted on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Fei was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she heard this, she felt that something was not quite right...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheng Yan asked,?“I wonder if Second Master Lu is free to attend tonight’s Banquet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu knew that he was referring to the banquet that was jointly organized by the Gu family’s Jockey Club and the Carlsberg Auction House.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many bigwigs from all walks of life would attend this grand event. Hence, this was considered the most suitable venue to socialize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, most people would give face and attend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lu Huaiyu was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had come to Hong Kong City a few times and rarely appeared in public on such occasions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why Sheng Yan had asked this question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had thought that Lu Huaiyu would refuse to attend the event like before.

How can Ah Li be his match? In the future, who knows how much that kid will bully her?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Madam Gu narrowed her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wasn’t he just taking revenge on behalf of Ah Li?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s because of this that I didn’t say too much to Ah Li earlier.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, he would have advised Ah Li to break up long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That kid from the Lu family was very dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Madam Gu smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s been a long time since I’ve heard Brother Li praise someone like that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Master Gu furrowed his brows and raised his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In what way did I praise him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Madam Gu’s smile deepened, but she did not expose him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li led Qingfeng out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Qingfeng was hers, so it had already changed stables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pulled the reins and carefully led Qingfeng, slender and tall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Madam Gu was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li stood still and touched Qingfeng’s head. Qingfeng suddenly sneezed. So, she smiled and rubbed its ears to comfort it, before quickly getting on the horse!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingfeng listened to her instructions very well. There was no need to use the horsewhip. Just by shaking the reins, it would begin to run quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Madam Gu became lost in her thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she knew that Ning Li was not Yinyin, every time she saw her riding a horse, it would always overlap with the figure in her memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Master Gu’s gaze deepened. After a long while, he sighed softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li rode her horse and stopped below the grandstand where Old Master Gu and Old Madam Gu were seated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Madam Gu’s expression had returned to her usual gentle and kindly look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah Li, there’ll be a dinner party at Bansen Hotel tonight. It’ll be quite lively. Do you want to go?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li thought of the message that Lu Huaiyu had sent her and nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Madam Gu was very happy when she heard that she wanted to go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then why don’t you go and pick out a dress?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Second Brother already sent one over.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Old Master Gu immediately snorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li looked at him in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She did not know why, but she sensed that Old Master Gu did not like Lu Huaiyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old Master Gu, is something wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Master Gu looked at her and felt a sense of grievance. After a while, he said, “It’s nothing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Madam Gu asked,”So, is Ah Li going with him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li said, “Second Brother said that he will be back later–”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What time will the auction be over? It will be even later when he arrives,” said Old Master Gu, “Ah Li will go with us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li, “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Master Gu saw her hesitation and said, “If Ah Li feels bad about telling him, I’ll call him myself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li, “... I’ll do it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Madam Gu waved at her with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then, let’s get ready to go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>7 pm, Bansen Hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The huge banquet hall was brightly lit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the women were beautifully and luxuriously dressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard that Second Master Lu broke the auction record again this afternoon?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“170 million... Tsk, how extravagant.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, Feifei, you were the host of this auction. Just by relying on Second Master Lu’s single order, you’ll be earning a lot more commission, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right. Quickly tell us, what exactly happened back there?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several people had surrounded Yan Fei, unable to hide their excitement and eagerness to gossip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Second Master Lu’s support wasn’t something ordinary!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t you say that he would come tonight? Why haven’t I spotted him yet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of this news, Bansen Hotel was particularly lively tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Fei sipped her cocktail and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We were supposed to come together, but the Vice President and Second Master Lu still seemed to have other matters to discuss, so they will probably come later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had changed into a nude pink strapless dress. Her hair was loose, and her exquisitely beautiful face had been lightly made up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Ling looked around and bumped her arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, isn’t that your sister? Even though that incident happened to Young Master Zhong this afternoon, she still has the mood to come?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the auction in the afternoon, the Second Master of the Lu family had spent a lot of money just to ensure Zhong Haoqi’s displeasure, and the news had already spread like wildfire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I really don’t know in what way Young Master Zhong offended that person...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Fei shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not sure about that either.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuo Qianqian smiled and said,?“Who cares? Anyway, Young Master Zhong definitely won’t be coming tonight. Oh right, speaking of this, I heard that.... Miss Ning will be coming.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1373,"2026-05-30T09:09:42.757Z","2026-06-01T04:30:51.172Z",1,"novelbin.me","3db046f514d9babd7d80c7910cf12a89d843c6659a490598f4521b656e9bfa87","the-little-brat-s-sweet-and-sassy-chapter-500","the-little-brat-s-sweet-and-sassy-chapter-498",1251,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-little-brat-s-sweet-and-sassy-cover.jpg"]
