Despite Chen Qiang’s thoughts, many eagle-eyed onlookers had caught sight of Situ Zhangyou who sat next to Shen Xi. The eldest young master and future heir of the Situ family was also the right-hand man to head of the Li household, Li Yuan.

Chen Qiang may not recognize the beautiful girl, but was he that blind to not notice Situ Zhangyou? With looks such as Situ Zhang-you’s, it was hard to miss.

Laying her eyes on Situ Zhangyou, Lu Meng had a bad feeling. Situ Zhangyou was no average joe. He was sitting next to the girl who stood up for Lu Li.

“Mr. Chen, that’s some big talk.” Situ Zhang-you listlessly got up and coldly stared at Chen Qiang with an offhanded look on his face before casting an overwhelming presence and murderous intent.

Too deep in a fit of rage, Chen Qiang only spotted Situ Zhangyou now and nearly wetted his pants.

Fortunately, he was able to put on his big-boy pants and adapt quickly enough to let out a cringing smile. “Young Master Situ, this young lady here is your...?”

Could the girl be Situ Zhangyou’s girlfriend? However, Situ Zhangyou was a celebrity with a multitude of fans who likened themselves to his girlfriend. It would be an uproar in showbiz if he had a girlfriend. The socialites and ladies of the upper class would have done something about it.

If nothing else, Chen Qiang’s daughter was a crazy fan of Situ Zhangyou. He was all she talked about every day, and if Situ Zhangyou was dating anyone, Chen Qiang was sure his daughter would kick up a huge fuss.

“This is my boss’ missus.” Looking at the senseless brute, Situ Zhangyou listlessly opened his mouth.

Everyone on-site widened their eyes at Shen Xi. At last, someone identified Shen Xi and cried out.

“She’s Shen Xi!”

“The Fu family’s daughter?’

“Oh my god! Is she the long-lost daughter the Fu family just reunited with?”

Following the revelation, everyone’s jaw dropped. No way! This huge bombshell of the century could rock the high society to its core.

The boss mentioned by Situ Zhang-you was Li Yuan, the head of the Li household. The girl was Shen Xi, the daughter of the Fu family. In other words, the Fu family and the Li family were an alliance through marriage!

Now that all eyes were on Shen Xi, very few were concerned about Lu Li.

Furrowing her brows, Shen Xi was getting a major headache from all the attention. She smiled faintly. “Ms. Lu Li is a friend of mine. Is there anything else you would like to ask, Mr. Chen?”

Chen Qiang lost the will to pursue the matter. With his face turning red, he wished he could get down on his knees and beg for mercy. He had an egg on his face. “No, no. I didn’t know you were the young lady of the Fu family. Please forgive me for offending you.”

With downcast eyes, Lu Meng hid the wickedness in her eyes as she clenched her fists. D*mn Lu Li! How did she befriend the young lady of the Fu family?

How did Shen Xi, the young lady of the Fu family, become the missus of the Li family? This was the Li family, the greatest family in China! Every girl in the capital dreamed of marrying into the Li family, and so many families aspired to join forces and gain stature with the Li family through marriage.

Yet now, the Li family and Fu family came together. Imagine the power and influence the partnership between China’s greatest and the world’s most affluent could bring.

Shen Xi let out a contemptuous smile. There were so many who bullied the weak and feared the strong in this world.

Chen Qiang was a smart man. Otherwise, he would not have gotten to where he was today through his wife’s connections. He did his homework on taking stock of situations. Chen Qiang turned to Lu Li. ‘Ms. Lu, I apologize. I didn’t know you were friends with Ms. Shen. It’s all just a misunderstanding.”

Lu Li smiled. “It’s not for you or me to say whether it’s a misunderstanding or not.”

She then took a glance at Lu Meng.

Shaken by the piercing look, Lu Meng quickly glared back in retaliation.

So what if Lu Li, the b*tch, was a friend of Shen Xi? She was a cheap woman who had privileges to Chen

Qiang’s father-in-law’s centurion card. There was no other explanation for the relationship besides the fact

that she was the sugar baby.

The two b*stards Lu Li gave birth to must be fathered by the dying old geezer. What was with the cocky attitude? Lu Li was no more noble and virtuous than Lu Meng was as they were mistresses all the same.

Chen Qiang grinned obsequiously. “Rest assured, Ms. Lu. I will pay a visit another day for a personal apology.”

Thus, that was the end of the matter. Since the party concerned made no fuss, it would be pointless to dwell in the argument. The interrupted auction resumed.

Shen Xi looked at Lu Li and smiled, feeling a little worried she had poked her nose where she should not.

Lu Li did not reflect much of an opinion about Shen Xi coming to her defense. She simply nodded and grinned at Shen Xi in a show of her gratitude.

Fu Qingli did not have the most likable character, but his sister was versatile. Lu Li had a good feeling about Shen Xi, and even her daughter and son took to their aunt.

Shen Xi’s reaction to the situation was in Situ Zhang-you’s expectation. With that personality of hers, Shen Xi

would help Lu Li for sure. The thing that took him by surprise was Shen Xi withholding Lu Li’s identity.

Fu Qingli was not one to mess with. It would not end up good for Chen Qiang since he ran his mouth and gave Fu Qingli’s children a new father.

Following the spectacle, the auction was the last thing on the bidders’ minds. They discussed hushedly the bombshell that was dropped.

The Li and Fu family’s union would shake China’s high society to its foundation.

The auction went on.

Chen Qiang bit his tongue from saying anything more. Revenge was a dish best served cold anyway. Nevertheless, he put the blame on Lu Meng for the humiliation and scare he went through.

He would not have stepped on the toes of Ms. Shen’s friend had the woman not spurt nonsense in his ear. Upsetting Ms. Shen’s friend was crossing her, and crossing her meant getting under the Fu and Li family’s skin.

“Darling, I didn’t know about that.” Lu Meng murmured as tears filled her doe eyes. ‘I l kept an eye on them. Lu

Li and Ms. Shen aren’t close at all. There’s no way Lu Li would know any important people since she’s from the countryside.”

Ms. Shen should mind her own business. Someone like Lu Li could not possibly be acquainted with the young lady of the Fu family. It was ridiculous.

Chen Qiang gave Lu Meng the evil eye to shut up.

He had his doubts. The centurion bank card, for example, belonged to the old fool. How did it end up in Lu Li’s hands?

Could she really be that old fool’s mistress? Was the old b*stard the father of her children?

Lu Li closed the deal on the millennial snow lotus at 200 million yuan in the end. Someone came bursting through the doors as the auctioneers announced the new ownership of the snow lotus. .
