Chapter 52 The winner lost, the loser won, but it's still love enough.

As the lights dimmed, the golden dragon of light swiftly swam across the first and second floors, circled the ceiling, and finally landed on Lu Yanzhi and the deep blue tanzanite.

At the same time, the drone lantern above the villa began to burst into fireworks, with long tassels of flames flowing silently through the quiet night sky.

Beautiful, stunning, dazzling.

Until it disappears.

The lights inside the arena were turned on again.

Only then did the previously silent inner area erupt with tremendous noise once again.

"Clap clap clap clap clap..."

The applause was deafening, and the buzzing of discussion was several times louder than before.

Even now, the loud noise can be heard outside the well-insulated villa.

"Something must have happened!"

"Go ahead and ask around! So much time has passed, how come you still haven't found out even the slightest bit!"

"I don't know. Everyone who knows is being very secretive, and they're all wealthy people. Even if you offered a lot of money, you couldn't buy it!"

"What's going on? I can't take it anymore!"

"No, quickly notify the other brothers and get over here. As soon as the second half ends, we'll use our numbers to block them!"

"good!"

"Call for backup! Call for backup right now!"

"No matter who it is, get the company's cleaning staff here!"

"Not just the cleaning staff, the dogs are brought along too!"

Paparazzi and reporters outside the villa contacted their own people, and countless people and cars rushed towards the scene to intercept them!

The inside was even more chaotic.

"That was amazing! My goodness, this is something I can brag about for ages. I'll still be bragging to my great-grandchildren when I'm 80!"

"Me too, me too, it's so exciting! 823 is really brave, even I, a guy, think she's amazing."

"President Lu is handsome too, isn't he? He lit the sky lantern, had unlimited gold coins, and even won the auction item. The two were evenly matched!"

"I admire 823 even more. Without any other advantages, she was able to repeatedly teeter on Lu Yanzhi's psychological line and finally retreat calmly at the limit. She is truly a role model for us women!"

"Who would have thought that what I initially thought was just an unremarkable tanzanite worth 1 million would result in such a spectacular auction! Even Grandpa Fu personally presided over the auction; it truly was a historic moment!"

...

Countless people cheered and discussed, and Han Wei's eyes sparkled.

"Brother Yanzhi, you actually did this for me..." Her eyes welled up with tears. "Thank you, Brother Yanzhi. I can die without regrets."

Han Wei was incredibly excited when she said those words.

Light a lantern for her, bid 25 times higher than the average price for the entire event, and once this charity auction dinner is over, she will become a top socialite in City A.

From this moment on, Shi Nian will no longer pose any threat.

So what if Shi Nian was once Lu Yanzhi's wife?

What about the seven years that Shi Nian spent with Lu Yanzhi?

So what if Shi Nian was pregnant with Lu Yanzhi's child!

All of this pales in comparison to Han Wei!

The wife of Lu Yanzhi, the president of the Lu Group, one of the three major giants in City A, must be Han Wei!

Lu Yanzhi listened to Han Wei's words but only glanced at her without saying anything more.

That Tanzanite.

At first, he simply asked Han Wei if she liked it, but after the intermission, he realized that the tanzanite was not something he had bid on for Han Wei.

Lu Yanzhi raised his eyes to look at the woman who slowly sat back down in the shadows, his eyes narrowing dangerously.

This woman always manages to easily influence his judgment and emotions.

The few words exchanged on the rooftop made him realize that he wanted the tanzanite not because of Han Wei.

There are also bidding tactics and psychological warfare.

She was always so enigmatic, while he was completely transparent to her.

A flash of coldness crossed Lu Yanzhi's eyes.

On the rooftop, he had already told her not to follow him anymore. Did she already plan everything that would follow at that moment?

After he lit the sky lantern, her bids were 5 million and 10 million respectively, which were 5 times and 10 times the original amount, and everything was just right.

When Grandpa Fu appeared, the two began bidding on the spot. Her bids were 15 million and 20 million. She would bid, observe his psychological changes, and then withdraw at the right time.

She had him completely under her control.

Even Lu Yanzhi had to admit that even though she made him spend more money to bid for that Tanzanite, and even though he was humiliated by the bidding on the spot.

However, at this moment, his feelings towards her were not disgust.

Rather, it's about appreciation.

Whether it's courage, methods, or her control and understanding of his psychology, she is top-notch.

He won, but he also lost.

She lost, but she also won.

Who exactly is she?

At the same time, on the second and a half-story platform, the lights slowly dimmed, and Fu Boxiao looked down at the woman who walked into the shadows.

"She truly is his daughter. If he were still alive..."

Then, as the lights went out completely, Fu Boxiao let out a long sigh and shook his head.

There are no "ifs".

Just as his proud son had perished at sea, that young and promising man had also fallen from a high building and died in front of his most beloved daughter.

"Let's go back, I feel a little tired." Fu Boxiao's voice sounded much older in that instant.

Fu Boxiao was nothing more than an 80-year-old man on his deathbed.

"yes."

...

On the second floor, in seat 823, Shi Nian sat calmly in her seat.

Suddenly feeling a bit tired, she leaned back on the sofa.

She had recently been in a car accident, suffered a miscarriage, and fallen down the stairs, so her body was still a bit weak.

Fu Jinyan was so excited watching all of this that he almost jumped for joy.

"Yining, I'm so proud of you!"

Fu Jinyan whispered excitedly, "You solved the problem on my grandfather's side. You were able to do something like this even in a desperate situation, like Lu Yanzhi lighting the sky lantern."

"You solved all the problems that I thought were impossible to turn around and that seemed incredibly difficult to solve."

"How did you do that?!"

Shi Nian looked at the scented candle lit on the table, its flame burning a bright yellow color.

How did you do that?

Her father's gentle, smiling face appeared in her mind once again.

However, we've lost more than we've gained.

And so I gradually came to understand.

It's simply that if you loved deeply enough, you'll understand enough.

She understood as soon as she heard Lu Yanzhi's advice to her on the rooftop.

It's impossible to do it.

But she insisted on doing it.

The Shi family's upbringing and her years of struggle to understand were not trivial matters.

She is Shi Nian.

She wasn't Mrs. Lu, but rather Shi Nian, the eldest daughter of the Shi family.

"But what about that tanzanite?" Fu Jinyan finally asked worriedly. "Are we just going to let Lu Yanzhi give the tanzanite to Han Wei like this?"

He knew that this was something she had prepared for the child.

This time, it's being used for charity to raise money for sick children.

If it really does end up with Han Wei...

Shi Nian did not answer immediately, but instead looked up at Lu Yanzhi over there.
