Lu Luochen had to admit that they had done a flawless job. After all, they wouldn't dare to swap such a valuable jade pendant with a fake one.
After being appraised by the experts, the jade pendant was confirmed to be a genuine treasure, exactly the same as when it was first brought in, without any damage.
Lu Luochen didn't take Wen Sining down with him. After all, the relationship between the two of them had already caused quite a stir. If she really went down, the high - definition close - up screen would easily capture her facial features.
"Congratulations, Mr. Lu."
The voice came from the top floor. Lu Luochen didn't look up. He just stared straight at the camera in front of him. Those people up there were just ordinary men like him, with no extra eyes, noses, or brains.
"Thank you for your blessing, sir. I hope the jade pendant will arrive home in one piece."
The implication of his words was a warning to everyone not to have any ill intentions. He took out the handkerchief from his bosom.
Embroidered on it was the logo of the Lu Group. This was a subtle way to prove to everyone that he hadn't been expelled from the family by the old man. Instead, he was doing well and had even received the leadership position of the group from the old man.
Whether it was a blessing in disguise or he had successfully passed this test, he wasn't sure.
"I hope that in the future, everyone can compete fairly like today. I'll take this jade pendant. If anyone wants to take a look, you can visit the group."
Of course, this was just a polite speech.
Lu Luochen was going to return the item to Wen Sining, and he felt a faint excitement in his heart, with a slight flush on his face.
Wen Sining sat quietly in the viewing stand, but her hands couldn't help trembling. There was also a dull pain in her groin.
It was because she was too excited and her whole body was tense, which caused the wound to be pulled.
If it weren't for the skirt she was wearing, Wen Sining was really afraid that the blood flowing from her leg would scare people.
Liu Yuchen was just curious about what kind of woman could conquer this man surnamed Lu.
It wasn't long since the incident with Yun Chutong, and he wondered if Lu Luochen could really move on so quickly.
"I'll just go and take a look. You don't have to follow me. Lu Luochen is neither a god nor a monster. He won't eat me up."
Liu Yuchen was young and impulsive. Although he had entered the business circle earlier than Lu Luochen, he was only five years old at that time.
Wen Sining stayed quietly. Jiang Ruanqing had already recognized her, and she would never let it go.
This woman wouldn't let the jade pendant reach her safely.
Sure enough, when Lu Luochen was about to return to the viewing - stand box, he saw a woman in black at the door.
Just as he was about to walk around her, she took off her veil. Jiang Ruanqing gave him a deep look and then knelt down pitifully.
"Mr. Lu, I'm really sorry. Could you please return the jade pendant to me? I'm willing to return all the money to you."
What on earth was this woman up to? Lu Luochen frowned and looked at the middle - aged woman kneeling on the ground. Her acting skills were really good, making it seem as if she couldn't live without this jade pendant.
Jiang Ruanqing deliberately staged this scene at the box door, hoping that Wen Sining would hear her words. She wanted this woman to come out and confront her.
That woman surnamed Wen wasn't a fool. Jiang Ruanqing finally understood the true face that her son had been talking about.
Her malicious thoughts were hidden tightly in her palm. There was a knife there, a very small one, but sharp enough to cut through the skin.
After all, as a woman coming to such a place, she always needed something for self - defense.
Jiang Ruanqing had a good plan, but Wen Sining just didn't take the bait. If she could wait inside the box, why should she go outside and play along?
"Mr. Lu, I'm begging you. This was left by my mother - in - law. I was just confused for a moment. I'm willing to exchange it with something more valuable."
Lu Luochen remained expressionless. He didn't want to waste his energy.
Liu Yuchen thought differently. His thought process was quite unique.
"Hey, Lu. You're not short of this money. Just return the jade pendant to her. Consider it poverty - alleviation."
His tone was flippant. He was just watching the show.
Wen Sining had already paced to the door. Enduring the pain in her body, she listened to the people outside.
For some reason, just as Liu Yuchen was about to rush towards Lu Luochen, Wen Sining pushed the door open forcefully. The fool's nose hit the door. If it weren't for the people behind him pulling him, his handsome face might have been flattened today.
"You're back."
Wen Sining rushed forward and hugged his arm tightly, trying hard to pull him back. She thought it would be difficult, but unexpectedly, with a gentle push, she pulled him to the door.
Lu Luochen gently stroked Wen Sining's head and lowered his head, pressing their masks together.
"Be careful. The jade pendant isn't going anywhere."
This gentle tone didn't seem like Lu Luochen's at all. Liu Yuchen almost thought that this guy's body had been taken over.
He always spoke without respect. He even turned his head to the side and started talking to his butler.
"Uncle, didn't you learn exorcism back then? Get rid of the devil in this guy's body. I don't believe that this old guy can move on so quickly after a breakup."
Liu Yuchen's name was given by the old Master Liu in the hope that he could be like Lu Luochen.
After the kid grew up and learned about this, he had been gloomy ever since. His greatest pleasure was to cause trouble for his family.
"Sir, please speak with more respect. Lu Luochen is my husband. As his legal wife, I should bear his mistakes."
Wen Sining was protective, especially since Lu Luochen had helped her. She really couldn't afford to pay back that large sum of money.
"You ungrateful woman. The scandal between him and that little celebrity was well - known. You're actually willing to be his rebound. I thought you were a beautiful woman, but turns out you're stupid."
Liu Yuchen's words were harsh, but Wen Sining wasn't angry at all. Wearing high heels, she walked up to him.
She told him word by word that she was going to protect Lu Luochen.
Her bright eyes really made her look like a beauty, but Young Master Liu was so angry now.
"I don't need your preaching. I'll take care of my husband myself. I can consider your words as an insult to our relationship. I'll send you a lawyer's letter."
Wen Sining turned around proudly, leaving only her back for Liu Yuchen to see.
"You ungrateful woman."
Seeing that the man was about to reach out, Lu Luochen calmly pulled the little woman into his arms, his movements extremely gentle.
He wasn't blind. Wen Sining walked very awkwardly. It wasn't hard to guess that the wound on her leg must have split open.
