Everyone was guessing.
He Jitang gazed at Lin Xianni and spoke lightly, "The man you loved most in your life?"
He scoffed.
Lin Xianni’s face burned as if he had slapped her.
She wanted to step forward to explain.
But He Jitang called Su Ruanruan over.
He talked to her about He Ci’an: "Ci’an had fun last time he visited you, he misses you quite a bit."
Su Ruanruan didn’t like him, but she adored little Ci’an.
She then said, "I’ll pick him up on Saturday."
He Jitang smiled.
Then, he casually sat down next to her.
This seat was originally taken, the lady who was seated there had just gone to the restroom, and it was taken by He Jitang.
She didn’t dare to make a fuss and quietly picked up her handbag and left.
On the other side, Lin Xianni encountered a setback.
Her expression became even more pitiful.
Mrs. Yin comforted her, "If Jitang is angry, doesn’t it prove your importance in his heart?"
Lin Xianni stared at her.
Mrs. Yin gently waved her fan and patted her hand, "Trust me, a man of Jitang’s status would not let something he gave away be auctioned by others."
Mrs. Yin indeed understood men well.
The auction began.
The ring had its bidders, and the price was called up to 60 million.
Haha, this is Jitang’s engagement gift.
Who wouldn’t want it?
At the last moment, He Jitang raised his placard.
He directly said, "80 million."
The esteemed ladies immediately understood: Lin Xianni was He Jitang’s cherished love.
Jitang spared no expense for the sake of his beloved.
They couldn’t help but consider whether to maintain a good relationship with Mrs. Yin!
Lin Xianni was both shocked and delighted.
She covered her lips and softly said, "Jitang, today is still our wedding anniversary."
Around them, it was utterly silent.
He Jitang slightly curled his lips in a faint smile.
Others thought the former couple was reconciling.
Only Su Ruanruan noticed, He Jitang’s knuckles turned white.
She thought to herself: This Miss Lin is truly foolish, becoming a pawn for Mrs. Yin! Ordinary men cannot forgive adultery, let alone a man of He Jitang’s stature.
He must be feeling awkward now.
Su Ruanruan is not a saint, and although He Jitang is her nominal elder brother, she wasn’t planning on comforting him.
Everyone’s relationships have their own cause and effect.
She only felt sorry for little Ci’an, having such parents.
He Jitang signed a check and received the ring.
He casually placed it on the chair beside him, not showing particular care.
Lin Xianni wanted to speak with him, but he was unapproachable.
She had to hold back.
She planned to talk to him properly after the dinner.
In the past, he adored her immensely.
Tonight, she had made thorough preparations, deliberately tempting him, certain he would succumb.
Lin Xianni’s mind was fraught with tumult.
The auctioneer continued.
When it was time for Su Ruanruan’s donated item, the host smiled, "Next up is an item donated by Miss Su. As we all know, Miss Su has recently donated a hundred million dollars, and today she brings us a piece by ’Rang’!"
He respected Su Ruanruan greatly.
He detailed about Rang and presented the piece.
A cream-colored little daisy brooch, quite unique.
Everyone below was somewhat surprised.
’Rang’ is a celebrity, a unique master.
His works are known worldwide, but this little daisy had never been seen before.
Thus, the crowd began to murmur.
"Did Miss Su make a mistake?"
"Yeah, there’s no such piece, right?"
"Did Miss Su enjoy the benefits from the Charles incident so much that she’s trying her luck again?"
...
Amidst the doubts,
Mrs. Ma also worried for Su Ruanruan.
She secretly thought: If things turn sour, she would find a way to buy it.
Regardless if it is by Rang or not, she would adamantly claim it is!!!
Mrs. Ma had her plans.
Mrs. Yin was not a pushover either.
She found several down and out aristocratic ladies to challenge Su Ruanruan.
"Miss Su, this doesn’t seem like Rang’s work! To auction a fake under the guise of charity, that’s no small crime!"
