Chapter 27 Illegitimate Child
As soon as Wang Sheng saw Sang Wan, his small eyes narrowed immediately, and his face was filled with a flattering smile that was totally inconsistent with his image. He was completely different from the arrogant look he had at the birthday party.
"Miss Sang, please sit down, please sit down!"
Sang Wan avoided his courtesy and walked straight to the empty seat next to Xu Shiming and sat down. She said in a cold voice, "You called me here just to see Mr. Wang?"
Xu Shiming's face flashed with an unnatural look, and he coughed dryly: "Ahem, Wanwan, it's like this, Mr. Wang has something he wants to talk to you about...
Wang Sheng quickly responded, his tone deliberately flattering: "Miss Sang, it was my negligence that allowed you to be tricked by others at my birthday party. But, I really didn't know."
Sang Wan raised her eyebrows and smiled, "I've already avenged myself, so there's no need for you, Boss Wang."
Wang Sheng also hated Lin Lan in his heart. If she hadn't acted on her own, how could there be so many problems now?
Seeing Wang Sheng's embarrassed expression, Sang Wan deliberately added, "But I didn't look for you, so how can you have the nerve to bring up what happened that night? I'm curious, if Lu Tingzhou hadn't taken me away that night, what would have happened to you?"
Wang Sheng's face flushed, and he smiled awkwardly, "Mingyue and I were going to take you upstairs to rest."
Sang Wan curled her lips and said, "Boss Wang is such a good man."
Wang Sheng's smile faded, and he rubbed his hands together, a look of worry on his face. "Ms. Sang, you don't know, but I'm only bothering you this time because I'm truly desperate. Mr. Lu...he's stopped all the projects I was working on with the Lu Corporation. We've ended all of our cooperation! All the money I invested has now become unfinished projects, and I've lost everything!"
As he spoke, he squeezed out a few tears and wiped them away with the back of his hand.
"The bank is pressing for a loan, and I... I'm at my wit's end!"
Sang Wan listened quietly, her heart as clear as a mirror.
If she hadn't heard from Lu Jinxuan in advance, she would have been shocked.
I didn't expect that the duplicity man could be so cruel. He was going to bankrupt Wang Sheng.
"So?" Sang Wan said calmly, no emotion in his voice.
Wang Sheng, upon hearing this, said quickly, "Ms. Sang, I know you have a close relationship with President Lu. Could you...could you, considering that our two companies have a partnership and that Sang's project is stalled and stagnant because of me, go and ask President Lu for a favor?"
He carefully glanced at Sang Wan's face. "As long as Mr. Lu is kind enough to let me go and restart the project, everyone will make money. I promise! I will never have any ideas about you again, and I will never force you to marry me again."
Lin Lan, standing by, chimed in at the right moment, saying softly, "Xiao Wan, Mr. Wang has had some good relations with our Sang family over the years. Although he didn't make them a fortune, he at least helped them recover from the crisis caused by your grandfather."
Her words were openly advice, but secretly she was reminding Sang Wan that Wang Sheng had also contributed to the Sang family's current situation, so she shouldn't be so unkind.
Sang Wan felt nauseous when she heard this.
She opened her red lips slightly, raising a sarcastic arc. "Boss Wang, I think you're mistaken. First, I have no right to interfere with any decision Lu Tingzhou makes, and I can't. Second, you were the one who breached the contract on the Sang Corporation project first. What does that have to do with me? As for the Sang family..."
She paused, her eyes sweeping coldly over Lin Lan and Xu Shiming. "The Sang family's recovery was due to the foundation left by my grandfather, and has little to do with the 'patronage' you mentioned. Would you have cooperated with the Sang family over the years without some benefit? President Wang, you're not a philanthropist."
Seeing that Sang Wan showed no mercy at all, Wang Sheng's smile froze instantly.
He begged everyone he needed to, but even Sun Meixi was helpless. She gave him some money and promised to help him again when she had the chance.
I originally thought that Sang Wan was someone Lu Tingzhou protected, and if I asked her for help, there might be a turn for the better. Unexpectedly, she didn't give me any face at all.
Things have come to this, so he is not afraid of offending Lu Tingzhou again.
"Snap"
He slammed his hand on the table, pointed at Sang Wan's nose and cursed, "You little bitch, don't be so shameless! Do you think Lu Tingzhou really likes you? He's just playing with you!"
"For a man of his status, what kind of women has he not seen? He's seen a lot of actors like you in the entertainment industry stripping naked and sticking to him!"
"I'm telling you, there's no way anything will work out between you and him. His family will never accept you."
Wang Sheng became increasingly excited as he spoke, his saliva flying. "Besides, who knows if Lu Tingzhou has had a woman by his side during his years abroad, or even an illegitimate child. You're just a temporary novelty after he returned home."
These words, like a knife, stabbed deeply into Sang Wan's heart.
Especially the sentence "Do you have any women abroad?" made her heart skip a beat.
She knew that Wang Sheng was deliberately trying to provoke her, but she couldn't help but be irritated.
Is it true that a man as outstanding as Lu Tingzhou has a clean environment?
And his attitude towards her, he clearly has a root cause, but he has been reluctant to touch her, is it because he has concerns?
Sang Wan was unsure, so she suppressed the turmoil in her heart, kept a calm face, and even revealed a faint smile.
"Mr. Wang, are you done?" Her voice was light and airy. "I'm leaving now. If the scolding you just gave wasn't enough to vent your anger, you can continue after I leave. My dad loves to hear it."
Sang Wan's smile deepened as she glanced at Xu Shiming who remained silent.
That look contained Sang Wan's disgust and hatred.
Then he stood up and left the box without looking back.
Behind him, there was Wang Sheng's angry roar and Xu Shiming's slightly panicked voice of dissuasion.
Sang Wan turned a deaf ear to it.
However, when she walked out of the tea room and was exposed to the afternoon sun, she found that her fingertips were a little cold.
The good mood I was originally in about going to my grandfather's place became heavy because of Wang Sheng's words.
She didn't want to bring her bad condition to her grandfather. Although he would not respond, Sang Wan still wanted him to see her best side.
In the end, she asked Qi Qi to drive directly home.
Wang Sheng is a relative of Lu Tingzhou's eldest sister-in-law, so he must know the Lu family well, otherwise he wouldn't be so sure that there would be no future between her and Lu Tingzhou.
The longing and sweetness that had just ignited in my heart was extinguished by someone, and I was in a depressed mood for the whole afternoon.
…
In the evening, the doorbell rang.
Sang Wan went to open the door listlessly. Standing outside was Lu Jinxuan, dressed in a suit and tie, but looking uneasy.
"Wanjie." Lu Jinxuan's cheeks flushed slightly when he saw her.
Sang Wan was a little surprised: "Jinxuan? Why are you here?"
Lu Jinxuan scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Didn't you say there was a charity auction tonight and asked me to go with you?"
He originally didn't dare to come, after all, his uncle had warned him last night, and his legs still felt weak when he thought about it now.
However, he couldn't resist the call from Chen Yubai, the guy who was eager to create chaos in the world, who was fanning the flames.
"Jinxuan, your uncle's happiness for the rest of his life depends on you to give him the final push. Tonight is a good opportunity!" Shen Yubai said earnestly and patiently on the other end of the phone.
When Lu Jinxuan heard that this was related to his uncle's "happiness", although he was still scared, he still came with courage.
Only then did Sang Wan remember that there was indeed such a charity auction.
When the organizer invited her before, she agreed immediately.
But because of Wang Sheng's commotion, she almost forgot about it.
"Okay, wait for me."
Sang Wan turned around and went back to her room to change clothes.
Although she was in a bad mood, she never broke her promise.
She quickly changed into a decent lotus pink dress and put on some simple makeup. Because her feet were still a little uncomfortable, she chose to wear a pair of white sneakers.
The fresh and elegant outfit made Lu Jinxuan sigh inwardly, wondering why he was targeted by his uncle.
His sweetheart will be his future aunt-in-law. God is too cruel to him.
The auction site was filled with well-dressed people and celebrities.
After Sang Wan and Lu Jinxuan entered the venue, they greeted people they knew with ease.
Although Lu Jinxuan is not well-known in the business circle, he comes from the Lu family and naturally has a lot of connections.
She felt a little better, but she didn't expect to run into someone who upset her again.
Seeing Xu Mingyue and Song Ziqian come in together, Sang Wan sat directly in the guest seat, too lazy to have anything to do with these two people.
Xu Mingyue pestered Lu Jinxuan and insisted on sitting with him.
So the four of them sat in a row in an interesting way.
Most of the collections at the auction are donated by people, and the proceeds will be donated to charity.
Sang Wan casually looked at the catalog of tonight's auction items and listened to the people on the stage bidding again and again.
She casually flipped to the third-to-last page, and the items on it instantly caught her attention.
It was a half-moon-shaped mutton-fat jade pendant with a smooth texture and simple carving, and it was very similar to the half she had kept.
At this time, the emcee on the stage was introducing the origin of the jade pendant, saying that it seemed to be half of a pair of jade pendants, and the other half was missing.
Sang Wan's heart suddenly jumped!
Could it be that this jade pendant... and the one her mother left her, are really a pair?
When her mother gave it to her, she said it was passed down from her maternal grandfather's family and told her to keep it well.
Sang Wan looked carefully at the jade pendant in the picture. The material, carving style, and even the direction of the subtle lines were surprisingly consistent with the one she had kept!
She made the decision almost instantly to take a picture of the jade pendant!
"The starting price is five hundred thousand!" the emcee announced loudly.
Sang Wan raised the number plate without hesitation: "Six hundred thousand."
There was a moment of silence in the venue. After all, the collection value of this kind of jade pendant is not particularly high-end; it is more of a sentiment.
"Six hundred and fifty thousand!" A female voice with a hint of coquettishness sounded.
Sang Wan looked in the direction of the voice and saw Song Ziqian, with bright makeup on, holding a sign and giving her a provocative smile.
Sang Wan's eyes narrowed slightly, her red lips curled slightly, and she raised the sign again: "800,000!"
She wanted to use this method to tell everyone that she liked this thing, and she also hoped that Song Ziqian would understand that if she didn't like it, she shouldn't provoke her.
Song Ziqian obviously didn't expect Sang Wanhui to raise the price so much. The smile on her face froze for a moment, and a hint of unwillingness flashed in her eyes.
Since he was deliberately challenging Sang Wan, he quickly followed suit and raised his sign: "One million!"
The two of them went back and forth, the price kept rising, and the atmosphere was full of tension.
Most of the other people in the venue were insiders in the industry. They all knew that these two were the leading female characters in "The Storm". The two of them had started arguing before the filming even started. They all wanted to watch the show and stopped participating in the bidding.
Lu Jinxuan asked quietly from the side, "Sister Wan, you... you really like this jade pendant so much?"
Sang Wan stared at the jade pendant on the stage and said firmly, "Yes, it is very important to me."
If he and her half were truly a pair, it would be a way of reuniting them.
She's going to get it no matter what!
