Chapter 47 She has let go, he lights the sky lantern.

Shi Nian took a deep breath and looked up at the starry sky.

Yes, she has let it go.

Lower your head again, and everything returns to calm.

Shi Nian looked away, smiled, and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, we're being too forward."

She finished her drink and said, "The halftime break is almost over, I'll head down now."

After saying that, Shi Nian walked past Lu Yanzhi.

"No need to follow anymore." Lu Yanzhi's voice came just as Shi Nian was about to reach the stairwell.

How many times has he pleaded for Han Wei and fought for her interests in front of her?

He would do anything for Han Wei.

Shi Nian walked straight into the passage without pausing or turning around.

Lu Yanzhi was left alone to watch her departing figure.

As the evening breeze blew by, Lu Yanzhi's figure disappeared at the end of the passage in the next moment.

The whispers in the small garden drifted on the wind.

"...I'm betting 5 million, I'm betting 888 to win!"

"Wow, you've hit way too hard."

"Don't you even know who owns license plate number 888? He can get anything he wants!"

"That's true, it doesn't feel very interesting like this."

“That’s interesting. How about we change the betting method? Let’s bet on how many times 823 will dare to follow if Lu Yanzhi makes a move.”

"This is great! This is great! I'll bet zero times!"

"I'll bet once!"

...

"Is there any more?"

"That's ridiculous. Aside from gritting my teeth and going through with it one more time, I can't imagine going any more times!"

Everyone laughed and didn't take it seriously.

On the other side, Han Wei was sending a message to someone using a secondary account.

Hw: What is Grandpa Fu's attitude towards Yining now? I heard that she came out looking calm after talking with the old man. Are you no longer capable?

Tudao Le: What are you saying? A man can't say no!

Tu Dao Le: Don't worry, Fu Jinyan was still fighting after seeing Yining come out, which shows that his mentality is unstable.

Tu Dao Le: Besides, I know the old man. He won't change his mind easily. If Yining goes against Lu Yanzhi like this, she'll definitely suffer! Once Fu San's scheme fails, we'll have a good time. Then you can deal with whoever you want.

Han Wei smiled slightly, then edited a message and sent it.

Hw: I'm relieved to hear that you say so. I was a little nervous when I heard that Grandpa Fu wanted to see her.

Tu Dao Le: Fool.

...

The two were chatting animatedly when Lu Yanzhi, who had just returned, glanced at them.

Han Wei sensed something was wrong and immediately put her phone away.

"Brother Yanzhi, you're back," she said with a smile.

Lu Yanzhi didn't think much of it and just nodded.

He didn't have a habit of peeping at other people's chats, so he only glanced at it and didn't look anymore.

However, the profile picture Han Wei just used...

This is probably not the account Han Wei usually uses when messaging him; it's likely a secondary account.

But this profile picture felt strangely familiar to him, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

On the other side, in a secluded spot on the second floor, Huo Er happily watched everyone, muttering to himself.

A beautiful woman sitting to the side, unable to bear it any longer, kicked Huo Er in the face.

"Ouch! Sis, why did you hit me?!"

Huo Er covered his face and screamed.

The woman's response was—another kick.

Huo Er was so frightened that he ran away quickly, muttering to himself as he hid in a corner.

The woman rolled her eyes and continued drinking her tea.

Huo Er felt wronged. As one of the three major families, the Huo family was very harmonious.

They are neither like the Lu family, where Lu Yanzhi's personal abilities single-handedly support the entire Lu Group, nor like the Fu family's three sons who fight each other to become king. Instead, the three siblings have a very harmonious relationship.

The family had already made arrangements, with the eldest son, who was more capable, taking charge of the company. However, he and his sister were also valued by their eldest brother and appointed to participate in many things at the company.

It can be said that the whole family worked together towards a common goal, which made the Huo family one of the three major giants in City A.

As the youngest brother in the family, he was sometimes genuinely afraid of being beaten.

"Guests' privacy is a secret. Don't say things you shouldn't say. If you don't understand this, Huo Er, you should get out of the Huo family as soon as possible. Don't drag down the average IQ of the Huo family." The beautiful woman said while drinking tea.

Huo Er nodded; he understood.

He was just too excited; after all, it had been a long time since he had seen something so interesting.

"Sister, I won't do it again next time," Huo Er muttered.

The beautiful woman nodded slightly and let Huo Er go.

The person who witnessed everything sat in the shadows, and no one could see his expression.

Time flew by, and before everyone's eyes, the halftime break finally came to an end.

Everyone regrouped here.

The auctioneer went up on stage again to show everyone the tanzanite.

"Good evening, distinguished guests. The long intermission is over. Now, let's continue with the exciting bidding process!"

The auctioneer pointed to the bidding board on the side: "In the first half of the auction, this Tanzanite was bid up to 1.5 million by bidder number 823. Now, let's continue the bidding!"

Second floor.

Han Wei watched and listened to all of this, a slight glint in her eyes, but she remained silent.

She simply wrote down the latest price quote, and then showed license plate number 888 along with the quote.

"After bidder number 823 placed their bid in the first half of the session, bidder number 888 also joined the bidding with a bid of 1.8 million yuan!"

The auctioneer immediately announced Han Wei's latest bid.

In an instant, it immediately sparked a frenzy at the scene.

"I guessed right. Lu Yanzhi has chosen to keep raising the price. Now it's not just about the Tanzanite anymore, it's about Lu Yanzhi's reputation!"

"Yeah, what's 823 thinking? With Lu Yanzhi's wealth, is she going to raise the price?"

"I don't know. Actually, I don't understand why she raised the price in the previous rounds either."

Meanwhile, in Lu Yanzhi's private room, Han Wei smiled and said to Lu Yanzhi, "Brother Yanzhi, I didn't bring enough money today. I'll make up for the shortfall later. This is still on my behalf."

But Lu Yanzhi didn't look at her.

“No need,” Lu Yanzhi said, but his gaze was fixed on the seats that belonged to Yining and Fu Jinyan.

However, the person opposite was hidden in the shadows, and Lu Yanzhi could not see their expression.

Han Wei followed his gaze.

Knowing that she was waiting to see if the other party would raise the price, Han Wei looked at the other party with a determined expression.

But the next moment, that snow-white hand appeared again.

She held the number 823 plate in her hand.

"Bidder No. 823 has placed another bid of 2 million yuan!"

Han Wei's smile froze on her face.

The buzzing of the crowd below the stage resumed.

Everyone was discussing it wildly.

"My God, 823 really dares to do that!"

"I also think that there was a halftime break between the first and second halves where 823 got the confidence to keep challenging Lu Yanzhi!"

"Is there anything we don't know about in the middle of this?!"

"I'm so curious, please tell me!"

Just as everyone was discussing, Han Wei looked at Lu Yanzhi and asked him if he wanted to raise the price. Suddenly, he stood up and slowly walked to the railing of the second-floor seating area.

"Lu Yan has stopped moving! He's come out! Look!"

Lu Yanzhi stood by the railing and raised his right hand. Then, everyone saw that his ring and little fingers were bent into the shape of a pistol.

Light the sky lantern!

It means that he will accept whatever price others offer.

He was determined to win!
