Chapter 288
Jenny couldn’t help but want to laugh, Ben was just looking at his fun nature and wanted to tease him a bit, but didn’t really want to make him angry.
So he pushed him on the shoulder.
“Well, I’m just kidding, and I’m taking you seriously!”
Just then, a surprised voice sounded from the left.
“Sister Jenny?Are you here too?”
A few people turned to look and saw that it was Evelin.
After a year’s development, Evelin was now Herculeanly the first sister of Xing Hui.
Although still not as good as those first-tier actors, but still considered to have 20-30 million followers of the flow of small flowers, the most important thing is that the popularity is stable, strength is also on the rise, the future can be expected.
As a result, she is now considered one of the actors that Starfield has focused on cultivating.
If I remember correctly, she should have recently been filming a costume idol drama, and the script was still picked up for her by Jenny Jing himself.
Why are you here?
Jenny Jing was a little surprised, while Evelin was a little uncomfortable compared to her surprise.
She hadn’t come alone today, and there was a young man sitting next to her.
The man looked to be no more than in his mid-twenties, but he was gentle and handsome, and wore gold-rimmed glasses, with the elite look of a businessman.
Noticing Jenny’s gaze falling to her side, Evelin pursed her lips.
In the end, it wasn’t hidden.
She took a glance at the few people sitting next to Jenny Jing, then somewhat shyly introduced them in a low voice, “This is Yi Shao from the Yi Clan, the crew is on vacation this afternoon, and I happen to be more interested in jewellery again, so I came over with Yi Shao to take a look.”
He said, and introduced Jenny and his group to Yi Tianhua.
Tailor Feng’s face quickly collapsed with visible speed.
The others didn’t notice his difference, Biden Lu and Evelin were only a few friends, all for the sake of her being Jenny’s friend and employee, just a nodding acquaintance with her.
And even less so with Ji Yunshu.
He’s not from the entertainment industry, and his family runs a business that’s a million miles away from the entertainment industry.
Plus, he’s obsessed with studying medicine all day, either drawing and calligraphy, or watching TV shows, or surfing the internet.
In Tailor Feng’s words, it is an old antique from the tomb sent out, someday to throw him into the mountains, is a whole world of a high man, no sense of contradiction at all.
Because of this, he still didn’t recognize Evelin, who was now as famous as ever.
When he saw Jenny’s introduction, he just smiled and said a polite greeting, and then didn’t speak again.
Jenny nodded.
Although she didn’t know this Yi Tianhua, she had heard of him, and it was said that he was a newcomer in the financial sector in the past two years, having just returned from studying abroad, and was very successful.
She greeted Yi Tianhua with a faint greeting.
After Yi Tianhua also politely greeted, his attention fell on Biden Lu who hadn’t spoken much.
“I’ve been hearing about Lu Shao’s name for a long time, but I didn’t have the chance to meet him. Since it’s fate to meet him here today, I wonder if Lu Shao would like to join us for a late dinner after the auction?Counting on it, I also stayed at Frank Academy in F. We were actually brothers and sisters…”
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Biden Lu.
“Sorry, I don’t snack.”
Yi Tianhua: “……..”
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that saying it’s a treat for supper is just a chance to get close.
Although the Yi Group is not as good as the Big Four, it has some status in China, especially as it is extremely close to the Gu family, which has some family ties.
Although Lu and Gu have been competing fiercely in recent years, they are not to the point of tearing each other apart.
Therefore, facing Yi, who was extremely friendly with Gu, Biden Lu had to give some face on the surface even though he refused to be deep friends with the other party.
But Biden Lu refuted the words back in front of so many people, and Yi Tian Hua could not help but get down at the moment.
Evelin even laughed and came up to round up the crowd.
“It’s true that Lu never eats late night snacks, it’s okay, we can meet up some other time, right, Yi?”
Etienne nodded and went down the steps, but only in a somewhat unhappy tone.
“Since that’s the case, I won’t force Lu Shao, just ask what you fancy tonight, and I, Yi, will definitely help you two take it.”
Next to him, Tailor Feng was upset when he heard this.
Sourly, “Yo yo yo, if you don’t know, you still think it’s a landowner from somewhere?Since you’ve asked to pay for my second brother and second sister-in-law’s bill, why don’t you also buy my share and Old Ji’s share as well!”
Yi Tianhua smiled.
“Young Master Feng is joking, who doesn’t know that this auction is hosted by the Feng Clan?No matter what, I wouldn’t dare to steal young Feng’s thunder!”
Tailor Feng continued to sneer.
“You dare not steal my thunder just because you don’t dare to steal my second brother’s thunder?You mean my second brother can’t afford to buy anything here and wants you to help him pay for it?”
Yi Tianhua’s face instantly changed.
He looked at Biden Lu and was busy explaining.
“I didn’t mean that.”
“So what do you mean?”
Yi Tianhua: “……..”
He had studied abroad for many years, and although he had heard before that these young men in Kyoto were difficult to deal with, he had never expected it to be this difficult.
Ji Yunshu was unwilling to let the stage get so ugly and secretly tugged on Tailor Feng’s sleeve.
“Aye, just about.”
Tailor Feng snorted.
“I just can’t stand the sight of someone acting like a pussy in front of me!”
Yi Tianhua’s face didn’t look too good, and Jenny saw this and gave Evelin a wink.
Evelin was then busy pulling Yi Tianhua away.
“Yi Shao, the auction is starting, let’s not talk here, so as not to affect others, let’s go over and sit down.”
Only then did Yi Tianhua nodded, allowing Evelin to take his arm and go over.
Tailor Feng’s face became even uglier.
Jenny looked at him and sighed softly.
Ever since the last time at the charity dinner, when Tailor Feng solved the trouble for Evelin and took out his anger, Jenny Jing had a vague feeling that something was wrong between the two of them.
But she wasn’t really too familiar with Tailor Feng, and although Evelin was an artist under her, but firstly, they weren’t really in love, and secondly, Evelin was always a girl who knew the score, so it wasn’t good for her to be an outsider too much.
Nowadays, it just seems like the flowing water is intentional and the falling flowers are merciless.
Jenny didn’t pay any more attention to them and concentrated on watching the stage patches.
As Tailor Feng said before, there were indeed many pieces of jewellery of good quality and design that came out tonight.
It just didn’t have a set in mind for Jenny.
But she didn’t fancy it, and Tailor Feng instead shot several sets in one go.
It was all shot in a gambling mood with Yi Tianhua.
Every but one time he encountered a sign that was held up by Yi Tianhua, he had to step in.
Yi Tianhua also seemed intent on pleasing the beauty tonight, and every time a new lot came out, he would ask Evelin’s opinion first.
Chapter 289
As soon as Evelin showed the slightest hint of liking it, he immediately raised his sign and shot it down.
Yi is in the real estate and building materials business, which is considered a leading company in this area in China, and therefore has strong financial resources.
As Chairman Yi’s only son, Yi Tianhua was naturally not bad with money.
It’s always been the case that money is like dirt when it comes to chasing girls, and as long as you can make them happy, you can do it.
But it was today that I met Tailor Feng.
Every time he saw something he liked, Tailor Feng began to raise the price with him.
At first he was able to put up with it, but in the back, he found that the prices were getting crazier and crazier.
It’s as if that addition is really a number, not money.
Etianhua is rich, but that’s not how money is spent.
A bracelet that was clearly only worth half a million dollars was hard pressed to be lifted to thirty million by Tailor Feng.
If he didn’t know that the other party was Tailor Feng, the famous dude floundering in Kyoto, he would have suspected that the other party was deliberately trying to blackmail him.
Evelin also saw that something was wrong, she looked back at Tailor Feng who was sitting there with a tall face and glared at him, then turned back to advise Yi Tianhua.
“Yi Shao, forget it, since Feng Shao also likes it then let him have it!We’ll just watch the back.”
But she didn’t understand that to say that a man must be strong at some point, it was when he faced the woman he loved.
In particular, Yi Tianhua had vaguely noticed that Tailor Feng had been raising the bar with him for the sake of Evelin who was sitting beside him.
After all, although the two sides weren’t sitting together, Yi Tianhua and the others were sitting right in front of Tailor Feng and the burning sight coming from behind was impossible to ignore.
As soon as Yi Tianhua got the anger out of him, he didn’t listen to Evelin anymore and immediately raised the price again.
After all, to give up at this point would be tantamount to admitting you’ve lost to the other side.
Any man, as long as he still has the ability to compete, will not give up.
After all, at this time, in their eyes, it wasn’t the bracelet they were buying, it was the man’s dignity.
But unexpectedly, just after he raised the price again, Tailor Feng’s side just gave up.
Yi Tianhua’s entire body was confused.
What about the promised competition?
You’re Feng, but you’re only worth 35 million. What’s wrong with you?
He turned around in shock, but he saw that Tailor Feng was looking at him with a sneer and said two words in an exaggerated mouth shape.
Dumbass!
Yi Tianhua: “……..”
Evelin also saw the shape of his mouth and her face changed.
Even an idiot could see at this point that Tailor Feng was deliberately playing him!
She whispered to Yi Tianhua, “Yi Shao, this bracelet is too expensive, he’s obviously bidding maliciously, or we don’t want it!”
Yi Tianhua barely smiled.
“It’s okay, you like it, don’t you?They say it’s hard to buy a heart for a thousand dollars, but a little money, don’t worry about it.”
Although I feel the loss, I must not say it.
After all, compared to the humiliation, the tens of millions he hadn’t cared about.
Evelin bit her lip.
In the meantime, Xiu Qi’s eyebrows were lightly knitted, and she hesitated for a moment before she said again, “Feng Shao and I were old acquaintances before, I’m sure he had some misunderstanding about our relationship, that’s why he deliberately targeted you, why don’t I go over and explain to him?”
She didn’t really want Tailor Feng and Yi Tian Hua to have any conflicts or disagreements over her.
Etienne turned to look at her.
A soft smile appeared on the handsome face.
“That’s even less so, it’s hard to get a chance to misunderstand our relationship, I’m too happy for that, why would I let you explain?”
Evelin stalled.
Yi Tianhua even laughed, “Just kidding, don’t mind.”
Evelin barely smiled, in the end she was still a little annoyed with Tailor Feng for doing this.
Yi Tianhua saw the situation and patted the back of her hand gently.
“Don’t take it to heart, it’s just out to have a good time, at worst, if he bids against me maliciously next time, I’ll just stop following.”
Only then did Evelin relax and nod her head.
Here, Jenny will watch the whole process in his eyes, laughing: “Yo, Feng Shao, is this jealousy jar overturned?Why so sour?”
Tailor Feng’s face turned pale and he said in a bad mood, “Nonsense, I’m not jealous, what kind of thing is she?I don’t even know her, so why would I be jealous of her?”
“Gee, I don’t know who was the last person who ran eye-to-eye over there to get someone out and clarify for them?Seeing someone being fawned over by another man and competing with him?If that’s not jealousy, then where’s the sourness in the air coming from?”
Being told so by her, Tailor Feng’s face was a bit too much to hang on to.
Biting his teeth, he said in a deep voice only half a dozen times, “Little sister-in-law, your brain power is somewhat impressive, I’m just trying to generate more revenue for our auction, what does it have to do with being jealous or not?
Besides, didn’t you help her out last time because she was an artist under you?Even if you don’t accept my love, you still deride me here, is there anyone who is such a sister-in-law to you?”
Jenny looked at him as he was angry and had to hold back a bit.
“Well, since you say so, I’ll oblige you, later on when the auction is over, I’ll ask around to find out about her relationship with that Yi Shao, and I’ll tell you when I’m done.”
Tailor Feng: “……..”
Next to him, Ji Yunshu was also amused at the news.
But compared to Tailor Feng’s jumpiness, he was much more stable.
“If I remember correctly, wasn’t there an adjutant in the compound when we were kids also surnamed Kang?He had a daughter who was playing pretty close to Yi at the time.”
Jenny heard that this was the rhythm of gossip, and was busy putting her ears together to listen.
Tailor Feng, however, changed his face abruptly and turned his head to glare at Ji Yunshu, threatening him, “Don’t say anything!”
Tailor Feng smiled, “It’s not like it’s a secret, second brother also knows, even if you don’t say it now, second brother will say it when you go back.”
And then, after a pause, “Besides, don’t you like people?Why are you still acting like a guilty person?”
Ji Yunshu was dumbfounded.
At this time Biden Lu said slowly, “Well, I remember there was a deputy official, his daughter seems to be called Evelin as well?But our family was the first to move out of the compound, so I can’t remember, but if I remember correctly, the Feng family was the last to move out, and Deputy Feng was Grandpa Feng’s subordinate in the first place, so it’s normal for Tailor Feng to have a better relationship with others.”
Lu, Gu, Guan, and Feng were called the Four Great Families not only because of their strong influence and financial strength, but also because they were in a state that could be called a four-legged stool in China.
And because their ancestors were the founding fathers of China, each of them had made a great contribution to the country.
In other words, all four families’ ancestors were military and influenced, and many of the best of their descendants worked in the military.
It wasn’t until these two generations that they began to gradually go out of business.
Chapter 290
Before the business, everyone lived in a military compound.
Because of this, that’s why Tailor Feng and Evelin met.
Jenny finally understood, and it dawned on him.
She said why is it so strange, she felt like Evelin and Tailor Feng knew each other before?
With that being said, there’s nothing to hide.
Tailor Feng was dissatisfied with his mouth, his mood was a bit low, and he said in a deep voice, “When my grandfather was in trouble, Deputy Kang was discharged from the army, and then he took his family and left Kyoto, and I lost contact with Evelin, but I didn’t expect to see him again, that’s how old he was.”
Being told by him, Ji Yunshu was also a little sad for a moment.
I was about to say something, but I saw Jenny Jing pat Tailor Feng’s shoulder and comforted him, “It’s okay, it’s not too late to meet, it’s not too late to catch up if you like it, after all, you’re all still young, in your twenties, it’s just right.”
Tailor Feng made a scene.
“Little sister-in-law, don’t be ridiculous!Me, I’ve known her since we wore open trousers, and even if we have feelings, they’re brotherly, and there’s no way we could have any other relationship.”
On this point, Ji Yunshu agreed.
It’s always hard to do when the relationship is too familiar.
Otherwise he wouldn’t have been single until now.
When he thought of the faces in his institute that he could see twenty-four hours a day in addition to eating and sleeping, he felt his hopes of falling in love were even slimmer.
Jenny saw his hasty defense and nodded his head in a plausible manner.
“Oh, I see, well, it’s okay, brotherhood is brotherhood, I don’t like to see gay s*x, but if you’re thinking about it, that’s fine with me.”
“Little sister-in-law!!!”
Tailor Feng completely stormed off, and in the end, it was only under the cool gaze of Biden Lu that he quickly calmed down.
Because there were so many lots, the auction was divided into the first and second halves, with a half-hour break in the middle.
Tailor Feng had been derided too harshly by Jenny before, and also took a phone call halfway through, saying he was looking for him.
So they didn’t stay any longer, and left after greeting a few people during the intermission.
Ji Yunshu was on holiday today, it was hard to relax for a day, so naturally, she didn’t want to go back so early, so she stayed with them to continue the auction.
When he re-entered the stadium in the second half, Jenny Jing was keenly aware that Evelin and Yi Tianhua were also gone, presumably having left as well.
Jokes aside, she wasn’t so gossipy that she had to pry into someone’s personal feelings, so she didn’t bother.
The second half of the lot is, on the whole, much more gorgeous and rich than the first half.
Jenny saw several of the more desirable ones, but since the gift was only one gift, she didn’t rush into action and continued to wait.
Until an emerald set of emeralds appeared.
Jenny was sharp-eyed, and immediately noticed that the set of jewellery was somewhat similar to the one Biden Lu had given himself earlier.
Biden Lu also discovered it, frowned and whispered, “That’s the set in Aunt’s hand.”
Jenny was very surprised.
“Then how did it get here?”
Biden Lu shook his head, indicating that he didn’t know.
Now that Tailor Feng wasn’t there either, it was hard for them to ask anyone else, so they could only hold still for now.
This jewellery set was also originally passed down from a certain European royal family along with the red coral set, so it was very sought after when it came out.
Everyone knows that it’s a thousand-year wait for such goods to show up at auction.
So they are also all willing to spend money, and furthermore, those who can attend this auction are not poor people.
So the bidding on the field has gone even crazier, and has even shouted up to 300 million.
Jenny was a little nervous and looked at Biden Lu who had been calm and silent beside her.
Ji Yunshu had seen the set of jewellery on Jenny’s hand before, so she also recognized that it had some connection to the Lu family.
Having just heard Jenny and Biden Lu say that again, it was naturally not difficult to guess that something must have happened.
He whispered, “Sham, do you want to take a shot at it?”
Biden Lu shook his head.
“Not so fast yet.”
Sure enough, the price was soon raised again.
This time, they raised it directly to $330 million!
Although this set of jewellery was sister to Jenny’s red coral one, it wasn’t as valuable as that one in the end.
So, at $330 million, it’s the limit!
The arena was silent for a moment, and everyone was waiting for the final result.
The host sees the hammer and opens the hammer.
“Three hundred and thirty million dollars at a time!”
“Three hundred and thirty million twice!”
“Three hundred and thirty million…”
“Four hundred million!”
A cold voice sounded, and everyone snapped their eyes to the source of the sound.
When they saw the man sitting there, they all took a shocked breath of cold air.
Lu Jing-Shen?
How could it be him?
What’s he doing here?
No. When did he get here?How come no one knows?
Biden Lu’s low profile wasn’t just once or twice, although everyone knew it, yet it was still a bit disconcerting to suddenly see him here.
The host, excited at the sight, shouted loudly, “This gentleman has paid 400 million!Is there anything higher than 400 million?Anyone else willing to raise the price again?”
All around them were quiet, and no one spoke.
Four hundred million?It’s crazy!
Even if the set of jewels was expensive, it wasn’t as expensive as it could be.
Moreover, on the collection value, and this set of red coral for the same sister set has more collection value, if it is that set, 600 million are not too much.
Seeing that no one else raised the price, the host hammered out a decision and gave the jewellery set to Biden Lu.
The auction continued, followed by a few nice sets of jewellery.
Jenny Jing chose an imperial green jade bracelet to photograph as a gift for the old lady’s 70th birthday.
After the auction, the three of them came out together.
Since everyone knew that Biden Lu was here, they naturally couldn’t avoid coming over for a lively exchange of pleasantries.
Those present were all the rich and powerful dignitaries in Kyoto.
Although Biden Lu didn’t like this kind of excitement, he had to give a few thin faces.
And because of that, it had been more than half an hour before they were able to escape.
Ji Yunshu originally came in a car with Tailor Feng, but Tailor Feng left first and drove the car away, so she was ready to rub against Biden Lu’s car to let him take her home.
After the three of them got into the car, Jenny opened the box containing the emerald bracelet and looked at it carefully to make sure there was nothing wrong with it before putting it away.
Ji Yunshu said, “Shen, Aunt Lu’s jewellery, why did it appear here?The Lu family shouldn’t be short of that money, right?”
Biden Lu was expressionless and said in a deep voice, “Grandma and the others should not know about this.”
In other words, Lu Lange is bringing the jewellery set to sell behind her family’s back.
Ji Yunshu was even more surprised at the news.
Lu Lanzhi has never married, single until now almost forty years old, but the s*x is still like a child, often doing unreliable things.
