Seeing the girl’s actions, Lu Zheng expected that Mo Zhu might not let go of it easily. After pondering for a mont, he gently gathered the cuffs of his shirt and said very politely and gently, “If Young Lady is willing to give the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb to the Lu family this ti, the Lu family will definitely give you herbs that are more precious than the Pine Snow Herb as thanks in the future.”
These words made Mo Zhu a little unhappy. Her fingers tapped the table again and again, and she looked at Lu Zheng coldly. “I don’t want your Lu family’s more precious herbs. I want this Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb that is auctioned today.”
Lu Zheng pursed his lips helplessly. Mo Zhu insisted on not giving in. With Huo Xuan here, he definitely couldn’t force her.
Lu Zheng stood rooted to the ground for a long ti, unable to think of a better way to persuade her.
Seeing that the Lu family’s young master’s words were firmly blocked by Mo Zhu, Huo Xuan lightly drank a mouthful of tea and said with a smile, “Young Master Lu, you’ve seen it too. I, Huo Xuan, would like to give the Lu family face, but a treasure like the Pine Snow Herb is really sothing my fiancée doesn’t want to give away. Young Master Lu, please leave. There’s still so ti before the auction starts. Why don’t you prepare more funds instead? In a while, we’ll rely on our own abilities at the auction.”
Just as Huo Xuan finished speaking, Lu Zheng understood that he was protecting Mo Zhu. He frowned and sneered coldly. Lu Zheng didn’t ask politely anymore and imdiately said angrily, “It seems like Young Master Huo has decided to snatch this Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb from ?”
Huo Xuan nodded calmly. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Zheng indifferently. “Young Master Lu, you’re putting it a little too deliberately. We’re all here to participate in the auction too. Since the Gao family is the organizer, they would have naturally set the relevant rules. Who gets the Pine Snow Herb in the end still depends on who has made more effort, right?”
Lu Zheng snorted coldly when he heard this. He didn’t want to answer Huo Xuan anymore, so he flicked his sleeve and left the private room.
Once the door of the private room was closed, a text ssage alert ca from the phone that Mo Zhu had kept away.
Mo Zhu took her phone out of her pocket impatiently and looked at the ssage.
[I heard that you ca to Beijing? Damn! Why didn’t you inform in advance when you ca to Beijing? I had to ask around for your whereabouts to know that you were here!]
Although the ssage was not signed, Mo Zhu could imdiately guess who had written it when she saw the style of the ssage.
Frowning slightly, Mo Zhu replied a few sentences indifferently.
[I ca to Beijing to settle sothing and will be back in a few days.]
After sending the ssage, Mo Zhu looked up at Huo Xuan, who was sitting opposite her. The man was drinking tea leisurely.
Her phone vibrated again. There was another ssage from the other party.
[Alright, then where are you now? We haven’t seen each other for a long ti. I’ll co and look for you.]
She raised her hand and quickly tapped the screen. Mo Zhu replied with a few words.
[In a private room of the Heaton Hotel.]
After sending this ssage, the sound system in the living room downstairs suddenly sounded noisily as the workers were testing the system. Then, a host slowly walked to the stage from the back of the main hall.
Mo Zhu looked up and silently turned her phone to silent mode. At the sa ti, the host on the stage cleared his throat and started explaining the process and rules of the auction.
The host’s attractive voice was amplified by the sound system and transmitted into every private room clearly. “First of all, we are very grateful to the various families for their strong support for the Gao family’s auction this ti. We have specially prepared a treasure for the auction today.”
After saying this, the host continued to spout a bunch of aningless and pompous official nonsense.
After everything backstage was ready, Gao Rong hid in the dark at the side of the stage. He secretly gave the host a signal to start when no one was looking. The host nodded in understanding and officially started the event..
