Xu Qingqing wanted to auction off this antique and then donate it in the name of Xu Yiyi and Xu An'an.
She would never become the green leaf for other rich ladies to gain fame.
The next day, Xu Qingqing refused Lu Chuanbai to pick her up.
After work, she drove there by herself. She was wearing the sweatshirt and white jeans she wore to work.
Xu Qingqing parked the car outside the hotel, took out the box containing the antique and was about to go in.
The item Xu Qingqing brought for the auction was the five jade pendants she got when she was doing a practical assignment in college.
Although each of the five jade pendants was of high value, since she wanted to give them to disabled children as a good deed, she would be generous once.
The security guard just glanced at Xu Qingqing's clothes and then reached out his hand to stop her.
"Sorry, the hotel has been booked out today. No idlers are allowed in."
"I know. I'm here to attend the banquet."
After Xu Qingqing finished speaking, she was about to walk inside. The security guard directly reached out his hand to block her. His face showed strong displeasure.
"Miss, can you stop causing trouble for our work?"
"I'm really here to attend the banquet."
"Do you think I'll believe you? Look at the clothes you're wearing. Do they look like you're here to attend a banquet?"
As soon as the security guard's voice fell.
A woman in a burgundy evening dress, carrying a small Chanel bag, walked over slowly and showed the invitation to the security guard.
The security guard quickly changed his face and respectfully invited the woman to walk in.
After the woman went in, the security guard's face changed back to the half-dead look. He gave a thumbs up and pointed to the woman behind him.
The security guard said coldly, "This is the person who is here to attend the banquet."
"I'm really here to attend the banquet. You can't judge people by their appearance, right?" Xu Qingqing was helpless.
Who came up with the stereotype that you have to wear a dress and high heels to attend a banquet?
"Then take out your invitation."
The security guard looked like he didn't believe her.
Xu Qingqing reached out to take the invitation in her bag and then remembered that she had refused Lu Chuanbai to pick her up today. Her invitation was also in Lu Chuanbai's hands.
"Sorry, I'll go make a call and ask my husband to bring my invitation down."
After Xu Qingqing finished speaking, she turned around and went to one side to make a call.
The security guard's eyes showed contempt. He only thought that Xu Qingqing was a person who wanted to sneak into the banquet and was finally exposed by him.
When Xu Qingqing was making a call, suddenly a hand reached out from behind and took away the phone in her hand.
"Hey! Isn't this classmate Xu Qingqing? Let me see who you're calling?"
A familiar and annoying voice sounded behind Xu Qingqing.
Xu Qingqing didn't even need to turn around to see who the owner of this voice was. She knew that this person must be Zhuang Yutong.
Zhuang Yutong was her college classmate and was also in the archaeology department.
When she was in college, Xu Qingqing had always been the first in the archaeology department, while Zhuang Yutong had always been hovering around 5th or 6th place.
The two of them didn't have much of a relationship, but Zhuang Yutong had always regarded Xu Qingqing as a target.
Zhuang Yutong had a special desk in college and didn't allow other students to sit there.
There was a photo of Xu Qingqing pasted on the desktop of that desk to remind herself every day.
If that was the case, Xu Qingqing only felt honored that she could be used as motivation by others.
It was just that later, the student union president that Zhuang Yutong secretly loved confessed his love to Xu Qingqing. Since Xu Qingqing didn't want to fall in love, she refused.
The student union president had always been chasing after Xu Qingqing and insisted on establishing a deep lover's persona for himself.
For the girls who confessed their love to him, if he didn't like them, he would directly refuse them on the grounds that he was still chasing after Xu Qingqing.
And Zhuang Yutong was among the people who were rejected by the student union president. Since then, she had hated Xu Qingqing.
From then on, she had always been sarcastic to Xu Qingqing. She even spread rumors that Xu Qingqing was leading the student union president on and was dating two people at the same time.
It was only after she was taught a lesson by Xu Qingqing that she restrained herself a lot.
After that, Xu Qingqing went abroad and the two of them had no contact. She didn't expect to see her at this banquet.
Xu Qingqing turned around and saw Zhuang Yutong, who was wearing a pink puffy dress and super puffy bubble sleeves. She looked as bloated as a cream cake.
Zhuang Yutong looked at the name of the person on the phone and a mocking smile appeared on her face.
"Xu Qingqing, even if you're looking for an excuse, you have to look for a more real one, right?"
"Lu Chuanbai is the richest man. How could you possibly have his phone number! I'll help you hang up."
After Zhuang Yutong finished speaking, she directly hung up the phone and threw the phone into Xu Qingqing's arms.
Why is her hand so cheap!
Xu Qingqing complained in her heart.
This woman really hasn't changed at all. She even became more annoying.
Zhuang Yutong reached out her hand to play with her long curly hair. She sized up Xu Qingqing's clothes and clicked her tongue lightly.
"I didn't expect that you, who was the first in the class, would be doing so badly."
"I was invited by Mrs. Wang to be an antique appraiser. Since we're classmates, do you want me to take you in?"
Xu Qingqing silently put the phone back into her pocket. She crossed her arms and quietly watched her act.
"No need..."
Before Xu Qingqing could finish speaking, Zhuang Yutong covered her mouth and said coyly, "I forgot. The invitation can only be used by one person."
"What a pity. Do you still have my WeChat? I'll send you photos of the banquet after I take them."
"No need."
Xu Qingqing's gaze passed over Zhuang Yutong and landed on the man who was also wearing a sweatshirt and a black baseball uniform. He was wearing jeans and was walking out in a hurry.
Lu Chuanbai received the call from Xu Qingqing. Before he could answer it, the call was hung up. He remembered that he hadn't given the invitation to Xu Qingqing and came down to pick her up.
Zhuang Yutong found that after she had said so much, Xu Qingqing's attention wasn't on her at all. She turned her head and saw Lu Chuanbai walking towards them quickly.
"Oh my god, I actually saw Lu Chuanbai in person here!"
"The rich are really low-key. Even when they attend a banquet, they dress so casually."
Zhuang Yutong covered her mouth in surprise. She tidied up the wrinkles on her clothes and a smile showing eight teeth appeared on her face.
Nan Feng, who heard what Zhuang Yutong said, rolled her eyes.
Why is it that when Lu Chuanbai comes to the banquet wearing casual clothes, he's low-key, but when she comes to the banquet wearing casual clothes, she's trying to show off and is down and out!
Seeing Lu Chuanbai walking towards her step by step, Zhuang Yutong felt that her heart was about to stop.
She didn't expect to have a romantic encounter here.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Lu Chuanbai smiled slightly. His handsome face and his magnetic voice made Zhuang Yutong blush.
Zhuang Yutong couldn't help but point at herself. She was so excited that she was incoherent.
"You... You're talking to me?"
After Zhuang Yutong finished speaking, Lu Chuanbai passed by her. He took out the invitation from his pocket and gave it to Xu Qingqing.
"Let's go." Lu Chuanbai took Xu Qingqing's hand and the two of them passed by Zhuang Yutong.
Before they walked a few steps, Xu Qingqing stopped and turned around with a smile. She looked at Zhuang Yutong, who was in a daze.
