“Do you need my help?” Lu Zhi asked.
With his ability, it would be a piece of cake to elevate Jiang Yining to fame.
Jiang Yining shook her head. “No need. 1 don’t intend to actually destroy Yan Ruo. She shouldn’t be responsible for her father’s mistakes. Besides, I’ve always preferred to solve my troubles on my own and don’t want others to interfere.”
Jiang Yining only wanted to suppress Yan Ruo for a while, not for the rest of her life.
If Lu Zhi were to intervene, his power would be too overwhelming.
She could control the scale by herself.
Lu Zhi respected her choice. “Okay, you can tell me if you need anything.”
“Alright.”
Jiang Yining looked at him, feeling exceptionally warm in her heart.
Lu Zhi lowered his head and met her sparkling eyes. His gaze couldn’t help but fall on her red lips. He lowered his head and wanted to kiss her…
Jiang Yining subconsciously covered his mouth. “The auction is going to be held tomorrow. I don’t want to appear in front of everyone with a sausage lip.” Lu Zhi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he heard that.
She couldn’t even stand it when he just kissed her.
Then in the future, he would go one step further…
Wouldn’t she have to hide from him every day?
“Just a quick kiss,” Lu Zhi said.
Jiang Yining hesitated for a moment before letting go.
Lu Zhi held the back of her head and kissed her.
Half an hour later.
Jiang Yining covered her swollen mouth and glared at Lu Zhi angrily.
This bastard!
She would never believe his nonsense again!
What happened to ‘just a quick kiss’?
Liar!
“I’ll apply some ice on you later. I guarantee that no one will notice anything unusual.”
Lu Zhi said with a light laugh.
When Jiang Yining heard this, her eyes became even more murderous.
Lu Zhi looked at the well-behaved cat and could barely suppress his desire for her.
He took a few deep breaths.
He stood up and went to the kitchen to get some ice.
After applying the ice, there was indeed no redness and swelling the next day.
Jiang Yining didn’t make a fuss about this because Lu Zhi had worked so hard for the auction.
The auction was held on a cruise ship.
Everyone who participated in the auction had to pay 20 million as an entrance ticket. This was to filter out those who followed the trend. With fewer people participating in the auction, they could narrow down their target range and concentrate as much manpower as possible to track down the participants and lock on the target they were looking for.
The reason why they were sure that the two companies from the capital city and overseas would participate was because Jiang Yining had spread the word that she had synthesized nearly 100 liters of Curium.
It was difficult to find even 50 milliliters of Curium on the market, let alone 100 liters!
Such a large quantity of Curium would definitely attract them to participate in the auction.
Even if the other party wasn’t the CEO himself, it would definitely be an important figure.
Following the leads, they could naturally find the mastermind.
The cruise ship was surrounded by undercover agents.
Everyone who boarded the ship had to register their identity and undergo a full body check to prevent anyone from getting greedy and attempting robbery.
At four o’clock in the evening, the guests had already entered the venue one after another.
Jiang Yining originally thought that there would be no more than twenty people participating in the auction.
After all, there weren’t many researchers studying Curium.
However, to her surprise, just as the boarding began, there were already 26 participants.
It was truly beyond expectations.
Jiang Yining stood on the deck, welcoming the guests as she sized them up.
At six o’clock sharp, the number of guests had reached thirty-five.
At this moment, Gu Zhanqing also arrived at the cruise ship with Jiang Rou.
Jiang Yining sneered and stopped him. “Uncle, have you prepared the entrance fee of two hundred million?”
“Yining, isn’t the entrance fee twenty million?” Jiang Rou asked.
“You have to ask Uncle Gu what he did to raise the entrance fee so high.” Jiang Yining didn’t give Gu Zhanqing any face at all.
Jiang Rou frowned slightly and said in a low voice, “Yining, stop fooling around. We’re family…”
When Jiang Yining heard this, she felt so disgusted that she wanted to throw up.
If she had the choice, she would rather be sisters with a beggar than with Jiang Rou.
She would definitely not choose to be family with Gu Zhanqing either.
Jiang Yining remained unfazed.
Gu Zhanqing stared at her with dark eyes and took out a check.
“Here’s the 200 million you want.”
Jiang Yining took it and saw that it was really a check for 200 million yuan. She handed it to All Man and said, “Donate it to the children in impoverished mountain areas. This is the blood that capitalists suck. Naturally, we have to give it back to society.”
“Yes.”
Ah Man nodded.
Jiang Yining stepped aside and graciously said, “Please.”
Jiang Rou looked at her discontentedly and said, “Yining, how did you become like this?”
“Don’t talk to her, let’s go.”
Gu Zhanqing brought Jiang Rou to the cruise ship.
Jiang Yining waited for them to leave, and the corners of her lips curled into a mocking smile.
What a joke.
Wasn’t it all because of them that she had become like this?
yet they questioned her why…
Selfish people generally never have empathy and don’t believe they are wrong.
Jiang Yining was thinking about this when another guest boarded.
This was the last guest.
She had set six-thirty as the time to retract the gangway and depart from the shore.
Jiang Yining suppressed the emotions in her heart, put on a polite smile, and looked ahead.
Her gaze fell on that person’s face.
She couldn’t help but be stunned. This was the person she had met at the casino.
“It’s you?”
“What a coincidence, we meet again.”
Huo Tingchen’s blue eyes were filled with smiles as he looked at her affectionately as if he wanted to suck her into his eyes.
“You’re here for the auction too?” Jiang Yining said, “The entrance fee isn’t cheap. Twenty million.”
“I don’t have that much money. Can you give me a discount?” Huo Tingchen took out a check and said, “1 can only give you two million. Today, I’m here to accompany a friend and join in the fun. Please make an exception.”
“Spending two million just to join in the fun, and you still say you don’t have money?”
Jiang Yining didn’t believe him.
“I really don’t have money. I’m not lying to you.” Huo Tingchen took out his pocket and showed it to her. “This check was given to me by my friend. Miss Jiang, I promise I won’t participate in the auction and won’t tell anyone that you’ve undercharged me. You can earn another two million, so why not?”
He had a glib tongue.
Jiang Yining’s impression of him was fixed on these words.
“Young Mistress, it’s time to set sail.”
Ah Man came over to urge.
Huo Tingchen stepped forward and stood on the gangway, refusing to go down.
It was obvious that he was playing hard to get.
Jiang Yining remained silent for a while before accepting the two million check and said, “Give Mr. Huo a special chair.”
Ah Man understood and smiled, saying, “Okay..”
