"The items to be auctioned in a few days will be shown in the scrolling section below. You can make your selections."
The revelation of the auction items in advance at this well - known auction, and even having them scrolling for everyone to see, caught a lot of people's attention. They were thinking about whether they could also get a share of the action.
Wén Sīníng was in no mood for this. Recently, there had been major personnel changes in the company. Those who had been lurking in the company had all fled. Most of them were caught, but after spending a couple of days in the police station and paying a fine, they were released.
Occasionally, a few came to the company to cause trouble, but they were quickly dragged away by the security guards and sent to the police station as a "contribution" to law - enforcement.
Gradually, no one dared to cause a ruckus, and finally they all gave up.
Wén Sīníng thought that these people were just doing their jobs for their employers and didn't make things too difficult for them.
Lù Luòchēn was sitting at the table, looking at the plate of bitter melons in front of him with a frown.
He, the great President Lù, had never suffered like this. Who dared to treat him like this! He was doted on as a child, but who knew that things would change after he grew up.
Moreover, why did Xiāo Zhàn's grandfather also live in the old mansion, along with those two old rascals?
"Drink it quickly. You had a qi and blood imbalance before. It's only recently that you've recovered. Now you need to clear away heat and reduce internal fire. Do you want to die before your grandfather does in a few years?"
The words were crude but the reasoning was sound. Lù Luòchēn's bitter - face was truly well - deserved. Xiāo Zhàn felt secretly happy seeing his grandfather "torment" this guy.
"Mr. Lù, you'd better listen to my grandfather and drink the soup, or you might not get dinner tonight."
Xiāo Zhàn had experienced such things in his childhood and felt a sense of empathy, so he kindly reminded Lù Luòchēn.
The four men were stuck at home. Wén Sīníng said that she had something important to announce today and asked everyone to come home. They didn't want to keep her waiting and rushed back. But since they came early, they just stared at each other, and Lù Luòchēn had to endure this "torture".
Around the appointed time, Wén Sīníng ran into the house with some documents in her arms.
She was crying as she walked, and her eyes were blurred with tears. She just casually wiped her red eyes. She really wanted to cry out loud. She wondered which scoundrel had bullied her.
Lù Luòchēn was in a daze. He felt as if his heart had been struck. He seemed to have a special preference for this kind of pitiful girl.
Wén Sīníng ignored this stinky man. Anyway, she didn't want to be someone's substitute.
"Grandfathers, could you please take a look if this jade pendant is the one that grandma passed down?"
Wén Sīníng urgently took out what was in her hand. Although it was just a printed photo, the patterns on it were still clearly visible. This was the amazing thing about the auction house.
There was even a brief introduction to the item and enlarged pictures from other angles, just to prove that it was a genuine antique.
Below the item, it clearly stated that it was donated by Mr. Wén, and part of the proceeds from the auction would be donated to the orphanage.
Wén Sīníng was almost crying with anger. It clearly stated that no one with the surname Wén was allowed to bid for it, completely blocking her way of getting it back.
"He's just trying to force me, force me to get his son out of trouble and pay off his son's gambling debts."
Wén Sīníng was no longer calm. If he could, Lù Luòchēn really wanted to pull this delicate woman into his arms and let her cry her heart out.
"This... it is indeed the one."
The two old men carefully examined the document several times and finally confirmed that this jade pendant was the gift the old woman had left for her granddaughter.
They had seen her wear it many times. How could that scoundrel do this!
Xiāo Zhàn was not qualified to enter the auction house. It was a well - known auction house, and the fees there were extremely high. Even the seat fee was equivalent to his annual income.
He was filled with hatred. If he were as wealthy as President Lù, could he help?
He hesitated about what to do. Finally, he had no other choice because he saw this little woman crying so hard that she was almost fainting.
Jiǎng Ruǎnqīng had played a really good game. Back then, the Wén family wasn't that excessive.
Old Mr. Lù also didn't have the qualification to enter the auction. He was too old, and the auction house refused to let him in on the grounds of not wanting to take responsibility.
Wén Sīníng looked at Lù Luòchēn. She even suspected that those people had set a trap, waiting for her and Lù Luòchēn to gamble.
Jiǎng Ruǎnqīng was willing to do anything to bring her down, even taking out the jade pendant that many people coveted. That jade pendant was a very precious antique, which had disappeared after being bought by someone.
"I'll help you. I'll do my best."
This was the first time in Lù Luòchēn's life that he was so eager to do something. However, the owner of the auction house had a strange temper. Moreover, even if they managed to win the auction, they might be attacked on the way. After all, that place was notorious for its lack of rules.
"Could we try to intercept it on the way?"
Xiāo Zhàn suggested. They carefully studied the characteristics of other auction items, planning to use another rule to exchange items.
But no matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find an auction item of the same quality as the jade pendant. Wén Sīníng was so anxious that she even wanted to sell herself on the stage.
Far away in the Wén family mansion, Jiǎng Ruǎnqīng was being held down on the table by some thugs, with a man behind her holding a syringe. No one knew what he was going to do.
Jiǎng Ruǎnqīng had abandoned her usual reserve and dignity. Her pride and arrogance were all gone.
This woman was crying loudly, with snot and tears all over her face, which was quite unappealing.
The man walked over, patted her face, and then stuck out his tongue and licked her hard, which was really disgusting.
"You'd better hand over the money quickly. I'm not interested in the valuable things in your house. I only want cash and gold. If you can't pay by the due date, I'll sell you."
This was the debt her son had incurred. Wēn Mínhào was already in jail, and these people couldn't find a way to force him anymore. But his family was still outside, and they were easy to find.
Even if they reported the trespassing, so what? These people were always loitering in law - less areas. It was hard to catch them. They were like weeds, impossible to get rid of.
"Please give me a few more days. I've already sold the family's heirloom jade pendant, and I'm converting stocks and futures into gold. Please, give me some time!"
Jiǎng Ruǎnqīng pleaded desperately. She didn't want to end her life in disgrace.
