Chapter 184 Lejia Auction
As the Chinese New Year approaches, Jiang Li and Li Mubai receive invitations to events one after another, and it feels like even their shadow clones can't handle it all. Some events can be avoided if necessary, but there is one invitation that must be attended, and that is the full moon banquet of Gu Qiu and Wang Cheng's second child.
During the first pregnancy, Gu Qiu and Wang Cheng also invited guests, but Jiang Li was not there at that time and missed it. This time, Jiang Li finally caught up.
Wang Cheng sent invitations to both Jiang Li and Li Mubai. Jiang Li was a friend, so of course he had to invite her. As for Li Mubai… To Wang Cheng, Li Mubai was actually a little out of his reach, but he was Jiang Li’s boyfriend, so it would be wrong not to send him an invitation. But if he did, he was afraid that Li Mubai would think he was being too close to him, after all, he was just an unknown assistant director. But Li Mubai finally agreed to come, and Wang Cheng was still very happy. He arranged for Jiang Li and Li Mubai to sit at the same table in Hao Zhen, and let them get together.
Qin Sisi and Li Xingmu also came, together with some old colleagues. Everyone talked and laughed, and all said that Wang Cheng was capable, so they directly organized a reunion of old friends.
We were already very happy to attend the full moon banquet, but we didn't expect there would be an extra surprise on the scene. Gu Xiaohua also brought her boyfriend this time. Everyone laughed at her for hiding it so well and actually dating secretly without telling anyone.
Gu Xiaohua's boyfriend is Zhou Liangfeng, who wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He is tall, thin, and fair-skinned. The two of them look quite a good match when they stand together. Gu Xiaohua said he is an editor at a magazine, so it's no wonder he looks like a scholar. But for some reason, Jiang Li doesn't like him very much. She always feels that his smile is quite scheming, and the look under his glasses is not as innocent as it seems. Gu Xiaohua didn't sit with Jiang Li and the others, but sat at the same table with Gu Qiu's fellow villagers. But Jiang Li saw Zhou Liangfeng winking at Gu Xiaohua many times, asking her to bring him over to say hello and meet the servants.
Gu Xiaohua was so annoyed that she had to get up and bring Zhou Liangfeng to Jiang Li's table. Zhou Liangfeng was as attentive as a pug to Li Mubai and Hao Zhen, nodding and bowing or toasting, and saying a lot of nice things. Some people smiled, some smiled but didn't, Jiang Li was the second type.
I don't know why, Zhou Liangfeng is so attentive, but Jiang Li dislikes him even more. She just saw that Zhou Liangfeng was so attentive here, but he didn't even give a good look to the people sitting at the same table, and it was clear that he looked down on the people at the same table.
Jiang Li didn't like this kind of people who curry favor with the powerful, and she immediately felt that this person was not worth making close friends with. If possible, she really wanted to remind Gu Xiaohua, but unfortunately, she couldn't find any opportunity to talk to her alone that night.
After dinner, Li Mubai didn't go home until after 10 o'clock. When he got home, he found another invitation on the table. Mrs. Sun said it was sent by Li Zhendong, saying it was some high-end private auction. Li Zhendong was getting older and didn't like to participate in such activities. As soon as he got the invitation, he sent someone to Li Mubai, asking him to take Jiang Li to play. He also attached a card, saying it was pocket money for Jiang Li.
Compared to last time, Jiang Li was much more generous and natural in accepting the cards this time. It was not that she couldn't spend the pocket money given by her younger brother. Moreover, the auction was a private high-end auction. Jiang Li had never been there before, and she was quite interested. She felt that it would be quite interesting to just sit there and watch people bidding and holding placards. And Wang Jingke would also go with Wang Jingruo, so she would have a female companion.
Soon it was the day of the auction, and Jiang Li went out wrapped up tightly again. Those who came to the auction today were all people on the list of Hong Kong's richest people. Knowing that everyone was not short of money, they dressed more casually, focusing on comfort. Seeing Jiang Li wrapped up tightly, they didn't find it strange at all.
Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've seen pigs run. Although Jiang Li knew that the items sold at this kind of private high-end auction would not be cheap, when she put the items out one by one and listened to everyone's bidding, she still felt frightened. The items here all started at a million, and eight zeros were child's play. Many items were sold for over 100 million yuan.
Jiang Li originally thought some of the items were OK, but when she heard the price, she felt that they were not acceptable. Jiang Li was reluctant to spend so much money on such a small thing that could not be eaten or drunk. Li Mubai was not interested in those antique auction items, but since he was here, he could not return empty-handed. Seeing a Ming Dynasty inkstone that was quite exquisite, Li Mubai took the opportunity to buy it, using his own money, as a New Year's gift to Li Zhendong.
Finally, the dinner came. Knowing that Li Mubai had to attend a social event, Jiang Li went to find Wang Jingke as soon as she entered the banquet hall. Unfortunately, Wang Jingke was chatting with someone at that time. Jiang Li gestured to her, meaning to wait for her in the dessert area. Then she strode towards the dessert area. Just as she picked up a small cake, she saw a woman coming towards her.
The woman had long straight burgundy hair, a slim figure, and was dressed hot. In such a cold day, she was wearing a belly-baring top and ultra-short shorts. Although her boots were long enough to cover her calves, Jiang Li still felt cold for her when she saw her exposed belly button and knees.
If it was someone from her own family, Jiang Li would have gone up to persuade him. Although it is human nature to love beauty and young people are not afraid of cold, it is particularly easy to get cold legs when you are old! But Jiang Li didn't know this person, so it was better to stay out of his business.
Perhaps noticing Jiang Li's gaze, the hot girl turned around, and when she saw her, she looked her up and down, then she actually smiled inexplicably and walked towards her.
"Are you Jiang Li? I heard that Wang Jingruo is pursuing you, and you are unmoved despite all his efforts?"
Looking at the noble lady in front of her, Jiang Li felt quite helpless.
Is this Wang Jingruo's ex-girlfriend, current girlfriend, or rumored girlfriend? Wang Jingruo, this playboy, is really good at getting her into trouble.
"I'm Jiang Li, what's wrong?"
The woman suddenly laughed and stretched out her hand. Jiang Li was thinking that if she dared to make a move, she would slap her back. Just as she freed her right hand, she saw that the woman's hand was not raised, but moved forward in a handshake gesture.
"You have good vision. I admire you."
Wha...what?
Seeing Jiang Li's surprised expression, the man laughed and said, "Why? You thought I was his rumored girlfriend and came to cause trouble for you?"
"My taste is not so bad as to fancy such a piece of shit as him."
It was the first time that Jiang Li heard someone call Wang Jingruo a piece of shit, and she couldn't help laughing out loud.
It’s really not nice, but I really can’t control it!
Jiang Li reached out her hand, held hers and said, "I'm sorry, someone did hear some rumors and came to cause trouble for me, so I was a little nervous."
The woman curled her lips in pride and disdain: "I've heard about that. If you ask me, Qin Jiabao is an idiot. She can't handle men herself, so she takes it out on other women. It's useless."
Jiang Li smiled and replied, "I agree."
The woman also laughed: "I heard that you taught her a lesson. I feel so happy. Tan Jiabao is famous for being willful and stubborn. When she was little, we didn't like to play with her. I didn't expect that she would still be that bad when she grew up. She didn't change. It's right that Wang Jingruo doesn't like her."
Jiang Li smiled and replied, "There's no reason for me to stand there stupidly and let her shit on my head. Of course I have to pay her back."
The woman gave a thumbs up and said, "You are brave. I admire you. No wonder they say the enemy of my enemy is my friend. You look down on Wang Jingruo, and I look down on Wang Jingruo. Maybe we can become friends."
"Formally introduce myself, my name is Le Chang'er."
"Ginger pear."
The two held hands again and smiled at each other.
"Nice to meet you, but I have to go now. We can talk again when we have the chance!"
"it is good."
After saying goodbye, Le Chang'er walked away gracefully in her eight-centimeter high heels. It was not until she turned the corner that Wang Jingke finally got time to wait and came over.
"What did you guys just talk about?"
Jiang Li smiled and said, "Nothing, just a casual chat. Who is she?"
Wang Jingke opened his mouth in surprise: "You talked so much, but you don't even know who she is?"
Wang Jingke saw Jiang Li and Le Chang'er standing together and talking and laughing from a distance. He thought they had known each other for a long time, but it turned out that they just met but did not recognize each other.
"I know her name. Her name is Le Chang'er."
Wang Jingke was amused: "So you only know her name! Let me tell you this, the auction we are attending today is organized by the Le family. Who do you think she is?"
Jiang Li blinked her eyes: "Could she be the daughter of the Le family?"
Wang Jingke nodded vigorously: "Yes! He is an only child. He was raised abroad before. I heard that he just returned to China two days ago."
Jiang Li understood. No wonder she had never seen her before.
"Besides being the daughter of the Le family, she has another identity."
Jiang Li was curious and asked, "What?"
Wang Jingke smiled slyly: "That's... my brother's mortal enemy."
Jiang Li smiled: "Isn't your brother's mortal enemy Li Mubai?"
Wang Jingke chuckled and said, "In the whole of Hong Kong, the man my brother hates the most is Brother Mu Bai, and the woman he can't stand the most is Le Chang'er. If he dreams of her, he will either wake up in shock or in anger."
Wang Jingruo was naughty when he was young and loved to bully his classmates, especially the girls. Le Changer was very fat when he was young, and Wang Jingruo always took the lead in calling her a fat pig, which made her very angry. Once, Le Changer got angry. She knew that Wang Jingruo was most afraid of snakes, and would tremble with fear even if she saw earthworms on the road, so she specially asked someone to find a lifelike fake snake from abroad, and even coated it with a layer of oil to imitate the touch of a snake, and secretly put it in Wang Jingruo's schoolbag.
Wang Jingruo was taking out a book when he suddenly pulled out a greasy snake. He was so scared that he urinated on the spot. Soon the whole school knew that he was scared by a fake snake and peed his pants. Adolescents are very concerned about their reputation, let alone Wang Jingruo. From that day on, Wang Jingruo refused to go to school for a month. During the days when he cried at home, Wang Jingruo vowed to never coexist with Le Changer.
Later, his family members persuaded him to go back to school reluctantly. After going back to school, Wang Jingruo saw that the world was playing tricks on him. One day, he took advantage of Le Changer's inattention and deliberately tripped her. Le Changer didn't stand firmly and hit the table in front of her, which directly made a four or five centimeter long cut on her forehead. Le Changer bled on the spot, and the blood flowed half of her face. Wang Jingruo was terrified, and finally ran to the teacher's office to surrender and asked the teacher to send Le Changer to the hospital.
Le Chang'er had to get several stitches in the hospital. Wang Jingruo was beaten so hard on his butt at home that his butt was bruised. After returning to school, one of them covered his forehead and the other covered his butt, and neither of them wanted to talk to the other.
Later, the Le family sent Le Chang'er abroad, and no one saw her for a long time.
"But I haven't seen her for more than ten years. She has really changed a lot. If someone hadn't told me in advance, I would have almost not recognized her."
Le Chang'er was very fat when she was a child and was always called Fatty Chang. Now she has become thinner and taller, a truly three-dimensional beauty. Even Wang Jingruo would not be able to recognize her if he saw her.
Wang Jingruo has been busy with the bar recently, and probably doesn't know that Le Chang'er is back. I don't know if they will fight when they meet, or will they just laugh it off?
Wang Jingke suddenly felt a little excited!
