Chapter 21 How do you want me to evaluate my ex?

As the group of women chatted, somehow the topic turned to Gu Suixing.

"I heard that the young master of the Gu family is here too, but I haven't seen him."

"He's with Miss Qin. Since the Crown Prince returned, countless women have racked their brains trying to get close to him, but only Miss Qin has caught his eye. So, he's openly showing his support."

WD is a women's ready-to-wear brand created by Qin Xuan. It has a good reputation, but its sales have never been very good. After all, everyone is used to wearing foreign brands that start with CDGV.

The reason so many people came tonight is entirely because of the Crown Prince.

When Lu Fengqing heard them mention Gu Suixing, she remembered the purpose of her trip and froze.

...She came to talk to Gu Suixing about the project, not to attend the party.

Lu Fengqing sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation.

She seems to be getting more and more forgetful lately.

Lu Fengqing took out her phone and tentatively sent a period to someone.

This time, the person replied very quickly.

[XXXXXXX: Did you throw away the pigeon egg?]

Lu Fengqing opened her eyes wide in disbelief.

If that scoundrel were standing in front of her right now, she would definitely smash him to death with a pigeon egg!

"Miss Lu."

The woman sitting next to Lu Fengqing nudged Lu Fengqing's arm with her elbow, gesturing for her to look to the left.

Lu Fengqing looked up and saw Tang Xingzhou surrounded by a group of people.

A young and beautiful stranger was standing next to him.

The woman beside Lu Fengqing said, "That's the Gu family's daughter, the young master's cousin. She was studying in City C before, and only recently returned."

At this moment, Madam Tang was talking to Miss Gu, and she couldn't hide the smile on her face.

This scene is really hard not to overthink.

It should be noted that when the Lu and Tang families were united by marriage, Madam Tang never appeared in public with Miss Lu.

Rumors are circulating that Madam Tang doesn't like Miss Lu.

No wonder, who could like a spendthrift future daughter-in-law?

Many people glanced at Lu Fengqing from time to time, some with a look of anticipation in their eyes.

Lu Fengqing's expression remained indifferent as she loosened her grip on the ring box.

The box rolled down, and the lid, which wasn't properly closed, popped open.

“Miss Lu, your…” The woman hadn’t intended to help, but when she caught a glimpse of the sparkle out of the corner of her eye, she couldn’t help but bend down and pick up the ring.

The other women at the table all turned to look in their direction.

Upon seeing the five-carat diamond ring, one or two people's expressions became quite subtle.

Lu Fengqing calmly accepted the ring from the woman's hand. "Thank you."

The woman gave a dry laugh. "When did Miss Lu buy this? Such a large diamond is quite rare."

“It was a gift from a friend.” Lu Fengqing gave a somewhat helpless and troubled smile. “He said it was originally made for me, but he insisted on giving it to me.”

It was originally made to order for her.

A simple sentence reveals a lot of information.

Combined with what Lu Fengqing had previously boasted about in the 24 Pure Gold Sisters group.

The women at the table had even more subtle expressions.

First came the million-dollar gown, then the multi-million-dollar diamond ring; it seems the Lu family's affairs really haven't affected this young lady at all.

Although Gu Suixing came, he did not appear in the venue throughout the entire party.

Lu Fengqing didn't have another chance to talk to him.

As they left the hotel, Lu Fengyang asked, "Did you see anyone?"

"……No."

Seeing it or not makes no difference, so it's better to pretend you never saw it.

Lu Fengyang gave a faint "hmm". "WD's brand representatives sent a lot of things as an apology. I gave them your address."

Lu Fengyang had other things to attend to, so he left after sending Lu Fengqing back to Xinghe.

Not long after Lu Fengqing arrived home, she received a package from WD.

Gift bags of various sizes, bearing the WD brand logo, were piled up over the sofa and coffee table.

Lu Fengqing was unpacking a gift box when she suddenly received a message from Huo Huaisui.

[Sui Sui: So, so, when can I start calling you sister-in-law?]

Lu Fengqing replied: [You'll have to ask Huai'an about that.]

[Sui Sui: ...]

[SuiSui: I'm asking you how things are going with my fourth brother!]

Then Huo Huai Sui sent another voice message: "Don't mention that bastard of a brother. Last time I asked him if he was interested in having a girlfriend, he asked me why I couldn't live without money... I'm speechless. He only deserves to live with money, not a girlfriend!"

Before Lu Fengqing could reply, Huo Huaisui sent another message.

[SuiSui: Never mind. I'll go ask.]

Huo Huaisui's thought process was beyond the comprehension of most people, so Lu Fengqing simply stopped thinking about it, tossed her phone aside, and strode into the bathroom.

After a refreshing bath, I came out to find numerous messages and missed calls from Huo Huaisui.

The first message is a picture.

To be precise, it's a chat screenshot.

[SuiSui: Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother, you didn't answer me last time. What do you think of Niannian?]

[XXXXXXX: How would you like me to evaluate my ex?]

[SuiSui: ? ? ? ? ]

Lu Fengqing's eyelids twitched.

[SuiSui: My fourth brother said you're his ex, what's going on?!]

[Sui Sui: You, Lu Niannian, you've been keeping everything from me! Do you even consider me your best friend anymore?!]

[SuiSui: I'm so angry! We're breaking up! Breaking up!!]

Lu Fengqing tried sending a message.

Her response was a cold, indifferent notification from the system: [Message sent, but rejected by the recipient!]

Lu Fengqing: "..."

When I called back, a cold female voice indicated that the other party was already on another call.

The number has also been blocked.

Lu Fengqing went directly to settle accounts with the culprit.

[Lu Fengqing: Was it intentional?]

[XXXXXXX: Did you throw away the pigeon egg?]

Lu Fengqing was so angry that she gritted her teeth and didn't contact Gu Suixing for several days afterward.

That afternoon, Lu Fengqing was taking stock of her savings, real estate, stocks, funds, and collectibles when she suddenly received a call from Lu Fengyang.

"What did Gu Suixing say?"

Lu Fengqing: "...He ignored me."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. "Feng He went to Y City a while ago and sold several hotels there at low prices. He also put several office buildings in A City up for sale."

Lu Fengqing was stunned, as if something was choking her throat.

Selling off some assets can not only save money but also provide quick cash, making it a viable option.

Her eldest and second eldest brothers had a sharper eye than her two uncles. The fact that the business they had managed to maintain was a sign that it was profitable, and that it had come to this point meant they had no other options.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Fengqing looked at her assets, which added up to less than a fraction of her debts. She pursed her lips, got up, found the five-carat diamond ring, threw it in the trash can, and snapped a picture of the trash can.

He closed his eyes and sent the photo out.
