Chapter 110 The wine color has been diluted

An Shixia couldn't suppress the smile on her lips and quickly began packing her things: "See you tomorrow, I look forward to your good news."

As An Shixia walked, she texted Yan Lingyu, telling him not to come up and to wait for her in the underground parking garage.

Tonight's auction is for rough stones. The stones are displayed far away on the platform, and all that can be seen is their shape; nothing else is known.

To put it bluntly, it's a gamble.

But wealthy people don't care about this; if they can find a good stone, the profit could be dozens or even hundreds of times greater.

A blurry image suddenly floated through An Shixia's mind.

The original novel mentions an auction where there was a strangely shaped stone with a starting price of 20,000, but no one was optimistic about it. He Huaisheng managed to snag it, and it turned out to be full of green, with a market value of 200 million.

This was also the seed money he used to start his company.

He got in back then thanks to An Shixia, but this time, without An Shixia's guidance, he probably wouldn't have been able to get in.

But when An Shixia saw He Huaisheng at the auction, she was stunned for a moment.

Is the plot really that influential?

Yan Lingyu also saw him from afar, his eyes darkening slightly, and he sat down, bypassing him.

The two's actions made He Huaisheng feel a bit like he had a heart attack. He clenched his hands tightly under the table, pondering how to get closer to An Shixia.

He had already guessed that the last time Jiang Zhiyao was given traditional Chinese medicine, it was probably Zhou Xuerou's doing, but An Shixia noticed it.

Yao Yao did something wrong that time. If she had succeeded, An Shixia would definitely have been tainted.

But Yao Yao was eventually punished, and he didn't want to hold it against her anymore.

He's different. An Shixia likes him. By doing this, he's just bringing the outcome forward.

An Shixia might be even happier than him.

Later, when An Shixia gets pregnant and feels she can't escape, the An family will become her stepping stone.

He will never be harassed by others because of problems with the plan again, and he might even be able to kick Yan Lingyu a few times.

He Huaisheng had a wonderful idea in mind and began to think about the plan for later.

Zhou Xuerou thought it was almost time, so she sent a text message to He Huaisheng.

[I've already had someone put the drug in An Shixia's drink; you don't need to do anything.]

Thinking of the plan that Jiang Zhiyao had ruined last time, her eyes were filled with hatred.

Because of that plan, she was not only abandoned by her family, but also taken advantage of by a thug, and finally schemed against by Zheng Wenbo, that seemingly refined but actually depraved man, forcing her to become his mistress in secret.

Fortunately, Zheng Wenbo was generous; he could help her with anything if she asked him for a favor.

He also helped bribe the waiters at this auction.

Anyway, there are too many people at the auction, and even if they have doubts, the evidence is already gone.

To avoid attracting attention, she didn't even go to the auction this time.

Admiring her newly done manicure, she said viciously, "An Shixia, you ruined me, and I'll ruin you too. You deserve it!"

When He Huaisheng saw her message, he relaxed completely, knowing he only needed to wait for the right opportunity.

The waiter brought two glasses of red wine to An Shixia, placed the first glass on her right, and placed the other glass on Yan Lingyu.

Upon noticing the color of the red wine, Yan Lingyu asked, "Are both glasses the same kind of red wine?"

The waiter, a little nervous and afraid of making things complicated, immediately nodded: "The auction only offers one type of red wine."

Yan Lingyu didn't say anything more, and the waiter felt relieved and turned to leave.

After he had walked away, An Shixia turned to Yan Lingyu and asked, "Is there something wrong with the red wine?"

Yan Lingyu pushed the glass of red wine in front of him toward An Shixia: "This red wine has a very deep color, but yours is diluted."

If he hadn't pointed it out, An Shixia wouldn't have noticed the slight difference, since it was brought by the waiter.

She glanced at the two glasses of red wine again and indeed noticed something amiss.

So this novel is just targeting her alone?

She recalled He Huaisheng, whom she had seen when she entered, and had a hunch it was him.

He Huaisheng has always considered himself superior, but the events of this period have probably caused him to lose his composure. It seems that he has also begun to join forces with Zhou Xuerou.

"So what do we do now? Give the wine to He Huaisheng?"

An Shixia had this idea, but she also wanted to hear Yan Lingyu's opinion.

Yan Lingyu frowned slightly; he felt that this was too light.

Forget it, I'll give him the wine first, and settle the score with him later tonight.

"Wait here for me."

Yan Lingyu picked up the glass of red wine in front of An Shixia and walked over to a familiar business partner: "Mr. Liu, your recent projects are short of investment, aren't they?"

When Mr. Liu saw him, his face lit up with joy: "How did you know, Mr. Yan? Are you interested in that project?"

"I remember you have a business relationship with the Mairiel Group, don't you?"

Yan Lingyu knew that he had been in contact with He Huaisheng, so he asked deliberately.

Although Mr. Liu did not know what he meant, he nodded honestly: "We have cooperated a few times."

Do you know He Huaisheng?

The conversation drifted further and further away, and Mr. Liu was puzzled but didn't show it: "The previous project was handled by him, and Mr. Yan knows him too?"

"I've invested in your project."

Yan Lingyu suddenly said, and President Liu was overjoyed: "President Yan, I will definitely not let you down. Don't worry, I can do anything for you."

People who are capable of great things are not simple. Yan Lingyu's sudden mention of He Huaisheng and his talk of investing must be related to him.

"This glass of wine was handed to my girlfriend by him, and I want it returned to its rightful owner."

Yan Lingyu placed the red wine in his hand on the table. President Liu immediately realized that President Yan was jealous. He could definitely handle this small matter!

"Don't worry, Mr. Yan, this glass of wine will definitely be returned to him."

Only after receiving Mr. Liu's assurance did Yan Lingyu turn and leave.

Mr. Liu's eyes searched around and finally spotted He Huaisheng sitting in the back corner. He picked up his red wine and walked over: "Director He."

He Huaisheng was replying to Jiang Zhiyao's message when he suddenly heard someone mention his name, and immediately looked up.

Mr. Liu stood in front of him with a smile: "When I saw you just now, I was wondering if I was seeing things. But when I looked closer, it really is you."

He Huaisheng smiled and said, "President Liu, I am flattered that you still remember me."

"Director He, what are you saying? I know your capabilities very well, and I'd love to have more collaborations in the future. Come on, let's have a drink."

At the opportune moment, General Manager Liu handed over the glass of red wine, which He Huaisheng accepted without any surprise: "Then thank you very much, General Manager Liu!"

He took the red wine and drank it all in one gulp. President Liu still had a smiling expression: "President He is so generous, I'll drink with you too!"

Mr. Liu finished his red wine in one gulp. With his mission accomplished, he bid farewell: "I'm going to see some friends over there. Director He, see you later."
