Chapter 183 - 183 183 Are you deliberately going against me
?Chapter 183: Chapter 183 Are you deliberately going against me? Chapter 183: Chapter 183 Are you deliberately going against me? Lu Xun and Ji Xinghang were present, so the three men from the Feng Family did not cause any trouble.
Feng Yuxiao even went to the restroom to put on some more makeup. When she returned, she looked at Lu Xun with passion and admiration.
Then she approached Lu Xun, holding out a new notebook and a pen.
“God Lu, I’m a fan of yours. Could you autograph this for me?”
She hadn’t paid much attention to the entertainment circle before, but she knew who the Film Emperor Lu Xun was.
Previously, she only thought he was incredibly good-looking and didn’t think much beyond that.
In her eyes, benefits and background were what really mattered.
She hadn’t expected this young Film Emperor to have such a powerful background.
That was why she wanted to connect with Lu Xun, and being his girlfriend would be even better.
As for her current boyfriend, if she had Lu Xun, she could naturally let the current one go.
With the backing of the Lu family, the Gou and Feng families would easily fall into her hands.
She didn’t want to seem like the other women who directly tried to befriend him, as that would appear too purposeful.
So, she finally came up with an idea—to pretend to be a fan of Lu Xun and then find opportunities and excuses to get close to him gradually.
Lu Xun did not take the notebook she offered and said coldly, “The auction is about to start. You should go back and sit down; you’re blocking the people behind.”
He had seen through this woman’s well-concealed ambition.
Over the years, many women had approached him because of his looks, status, or background. Feng Yuxiao, with her little schemes, was hardly worth mentioning.
He was already tired of such women, and considering Luo Ning disliked the Feng family, he naturally showed no favor to Feng Yuxiao.
Feng Yuxiao didn’t expect Lu Xun to outright refuse her, and her face flushed—not from shyness, but from anger.
After all, she was a daughter of the Feng Family and it was the first time she had encountered such an unromantic man.
At that moment, Ji Xinghang raised an eyebrow and said, “Didn’t you hear what he said? You’re blocking other people’s view.”
He added, “Your star-chasing act is obviously fake; try to look more sincere next time.”
Feng Yuxiao was speechless. This man was even less romantic and venomous with his words.
No matter what, she was still a beauty, and yet they treated her this way.
Her face stiffened, but she didn’t retort and said, “Then I won’t disturb you anymore.”
She then returned to her original seat. No matter how upset and wronged she felt inside, she still kept a smiling face.
Seeing this, Luo Ning thought that Feng Yuxiao’s ability to humble herself and speak differently according to the situation had a lot to do with her previous life as a winner in life.
It’s really discriminating.
When Luo Ning looked at her, Feng Yuxiao glanced back angrily.
Luo Ning couldn’t be bothered with her and withdrew her gaze.
Soon, the auction began.
First, ten blocks of rough stone were brought up for those interested to come up and closely inspect them for five minutes.
After all, most people buying rough stones would want to feel and carefully study them.
The Feng father and daughter, along with their gambling stone master, examined each one in turn.
As before, Feng Yuxiao particularly touched each rough stone.
Luo Ning noticed that when she touched them, evil spirit leaked out again, showing the strong power of the ghost she was nurturing.
On the other side, Yu Zihang also invited Lu Xun and Luo Ning to the stage to take a look.
After a round, Lu Xun and Luo Ning had a good idea about which rough stones contained jade.
“Do you want to buy any?” Lu Xun asked Luo Ning.
If she wanted more, he would naturally let her have them.
If Yu Zihang knew what he was thinking, he would definitely want to complain—brothers are always used as stepping stones.
Luo Ning nodded, “I’d like to buy a few more blocks of top-grade or top-grade jade.”
“Did you want that piece?” There was a high-energy rough stone on the stage that likely could yield top-grade jade.
Luo Ning knew this guy could also judge, “Yes, and let Young Master Yu buy the other two.”
“Alright!” Lu Xun thought the same.
When the five minutes were up, everyone returned to their seats.
Then an auctioneer took the stage and began the auction starting from the first rough stone according to their earlier sequence.
The first rough stone, judging by its hard outer layer, had a great possibility of containing jade, hence many people joined the bidding.
Yu Zihang was ready to raise his paddle following the gambling stone master’s advice but was stopped by Lu Xun.
“This one isn’t good.”
Naturally trusting his brother more, Yu Zihang immediately lowered the paddle he had raised halfway.
The Feng Family’s gambling stone master also suggested bidding, but Feng Yanbai looked towards Feng Yuxiao.
Seeing her shake her head, Feng Baiyan gave up as well.
The gambling stone masters on both sides were frustrated, feeling that the minds of these two CEOs weren’t working well today.
Soon, it was time for the third rough stone.
This rough stone didn’t look as good as the previous two from the outside, but the bidding price was higher.
There weren’t many bidders, and Luo Ning also raised her paddle.
Among the guests, after Luo Ning raised her paddle, Bo Xiangxiang followed suit.
She wasn’t copying Luo Ning but was going by her intuition.
Feng Yuxiao glanced at the two, then also raised her paddle to bid.
Yu Zihang was about to raise his paddle too but was again stopped by Lu Xun.
He whispered, “Don’t go for this one, just secure number seven and ten.”
Yu Zihang: “…” This guy was actually starting to prioritize romance over friendship.
But considering his friend had been single for so many years, he didn’t interfere.
“Alright, show them what you’ve got.” He gave Lu Xun an understanding look.
Lu Xun’s lips curved upward, “I guarantee you’ll leave satisfied today.”
Yu Zihang smiled, “Then I’m counting on you this afternoon.”
The price for the rough stone quickly rose to one million, and many people stopped bidding.
Bo Xiangxiang, however, wanted to continue following; she felt that even a few million would be a worthwhile investment.
But she had already spent most of her savings and couldn’t come up with that much to bid.
After some thought, she sent a message to Ji Xinghang, asking if he could lend her two million as an emergency.
Once the jade was cut, she planned to sell it and repay him.
But the message didn’t go through, indicating that the contact was no longer a friend.
Bo Xiangxiang’s face darkened; although they hadn’t been in touch for a while, she didn’t expect Ji Xinghang to have deleted her.
That man was truly heartless.
She thought about it and then sent messages to two other contacts.
Even without Ji Xinghang, she had other people she could ask.
She still felt a bit regretful; if only Liu Shaoxian hadn’t run into trouble, sending him a message would have surely secured her a few million.
If she had known the Liu Family would collapse so soon, she wouldn’t have pretentiously declined when Liu Shaoxian offered to buy her a house and give her money.
Since Bo Xiangxiang wasn’t managing to raise the funds, the bidding ultimately became a battlefield between Luo Ning and Feng Yuxiao.
The two quickly drove the bid up to one million eight hundred thousand, surprising everyone present, as they felt this stone wasn’t worth that much money.
Normally, according to past experiences, this rough stone could have been secured for under one million, but now the price had doubled.
Thus, Feng Yuxiao turned to Luo Ning, quite displeased, “Are you deliberately opposing me?”
This woman was entirely challenging her patience, constantly opposing her.
