Stepmother: I Am Asked To Give A Kidney To My Half-Brother

Chapter 75 - The Auction Begins. High Hopes

Chapter 75: The Auction Begins. High Hopes

“How can you be so shameless as to negotiate a partnership with me? I didn’t look for you, but you came looking for me instead. Where did the guts of that playboy come from? Do you think he’s worthy of my daughter? What an arrogant fellow!”

If your son dares to appear in front of my daughter again, don’t blame me for breaking his legs! I don’t think you need me to teach a grownup like him who he can and cannot afford to offend, right?”

Han Qianjing was not polite when she attacked people.

A few words were enough to hit Lu Yaohua hard and his heart sank. He had thought that Chu Jinyu had fallen in love with his son and that if he could establish ties with the Chu family, he would achieve meteoric success.

But even before he could mull over it, this beautiful dream was shattered by Chu Jinyu.

However, this was normal. Lu Ze was such a playboy. How could those outstanding women fall for his son?

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Please don’t be angry.”

He apologized profusely before fleeing in a sorry state.

When Chu Jinyu saw this scene, she was delighted! Who asked Lu Ze to touch her? A son’s debts must be repaid by his father. This applied to him too.

“If anyone dares to treat you like this again, hit them back. Have you forgotten what I taught you?”

Han Qianjing asked coldly.

Chu Jinyu retracted her neck. “I remember. I’ll definitely do it next time.”

At this moment, Lu Ming, who was wearing a silver suit, arrived at the scene. At the same time, a Lamborghini was parked at the entrance.

At this moment, Chu Jinyu only had eyes for her childhood friend. Her heart started to beat faster uncontrollably. “Brother Lu Ming? Why are you here?”

She went forward and hugged Lu Ming in surprise. A few seconds later, she reluctantly let go of him.

Lu Ming rubbed her head and said, “Of course I’m here to attend the auction.”

The observant Han Qianjing immediately sensed that something was wrong. Chu Jinyu had always treated the opposite sex coldly. However, Chu Jinyu actually took the initiative to greet this young man.?“Something is not right,”?she thought.

“Coupled with her expression and actions—isn’t this a young girl in love?”

She narrowed her eyes and immediately made a guess.?“Could this be the person Chu Jinyu likes?”

Without thinking too much, she focused all her attention on the man who got out of the Lamborghini and said politely, “Mr. Tang, didn’t Old Master come over today?”

Who could make someone called the ‘Iron Lady’ treat him so respectfully?

The onlookers all looked over at that spot, and immediately after, sounds of sharp gasps could be heard!

Why was he here too!?

The person was wearing a long coat. He said expressionlessly, “Old Master went out to play chess with a friend this morning, so he specially sent me over to take a look.”

Han Qianjing nodded thoughtfully. “Which piece of land does the old man fancy? Perhaps I can provide some information.”

“I’m just here to have fun.”

He said nonchalantly. Then as if he had seen someone, he walked over and smiled. “Mr. Lu, so you’re here too!”

Lu Ming turned around and saw a familiar face.

“Ah Er? Are you here to attend the auction too? Is the old gentleman here too?”

Tang Er scratched the back of his head and said, “Old Master didn’t come over. If he had known that you were here, Old Master would definitely have come too. He has been talking about you.”

He paused for a moment before continuing, “Mr. Lu, you’ve really stolen the limelight recently! You’ve negotiated so many collaborative deals, and Old Master even praised you for being a young hero with a bright future. I’m sure you’ll be famous in no time, right?”

“You’re too kind. I’m just trying my best to do what needs to be done.”

Lu Ming said confidently.

Tang Er said, “Mr. Lu has a kind heart. With such a good personality and such sharp strategies, anyone would think so. After all, what you’re doing now has already surpassed most of the seniors. Old Master and I have high hopes for you.”

If someone else had said this, Lu Ming would definitely think that it was just a formality. However, with Tang Er, it was different. This was because he knew that Old Master Tang seemed to like him very much. What he said could only be the truth.

It felt good having an elder who had his back.

“I don’t think I’ll disappoint you.”

At first, Han Qianjing thought that the Mr. Lu that Tang Er was talking about was Lu Yaohua. She was wondering when Lu Yaohua had met such a big shot. When she saw him, she realized that she had thought wrongly.

It was the person that Chu Jinyu knew.

That person also called out Tang Er’s name affectionately. From the looks of it, their relationship was not ordinary. Also, Old Master Tang had mentioned Lu Ming. She thought perhaps this person had a good relationship with Old Master Tang.

“Who exactly is this Mr. Lu?”?she wondered.

“To be able to win the Tang family’s favor—this person must not be underestimated!”

Her originally scornful gaze became much more discreet. It seemed like she would have to go back and investigate thoroughly.

Their conversation left the onlookers stunned!

“Did I hear wrongly? Old Master Tang actually has high hopes for this person? What’s going on? I’ve never heard of this young man winning that person’s favor.”

“I’ve never heard of him either. But since it’s Mr. Tang Er, then everything he said must be true. Moreover, only that person can call him Mr. Tang Er. From the looks of it, their relationship is not superficial.”

“This young man is amazing! I’m afraid that even if his investment fails and he goes bankrupt, with that person backing him, his career will definitely be smooth sailing. How enviable. Oh right, do you know him? Why haven’t I seen him before?”

“He is lucky. We are just ordinary people. It is difficult to even meet Old Master Tang, let alone make an impression on him. Perhaps this young man is a descendant of some reclusive family?”

…

Upon hearing these speculations and seeing Lu Ming become the center of attention, Lu Yaohua was moved and his eyes were full with pride. After all, his son was someone even the ‘Iron Lady’ had to bow down to!

He wanted to say that Lu Ming was his son, but based on the current situation, no one would believe that Lu Ming was related to him by blood. He might even be mocked. Perhaps Lu Ming would embarrass him.

So after thinking about it, he could only hold it in.

When it was about time, they entered the auction venue, one after another. Chu Jinyu sat close to Lu Ming. “Brother Lu Ming, which piece of land do you want to buy today?”

He pointed at Lu Yaohua’s back.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled.

“Welcome to Zhongjia Auction House. The auction will start in five minutes.. Please wait for a moment!”
