"Yeah."
Shang Wu should be nonchalant.
Tang Xueli, not hearing her expectation and surprise, felt immediately disappointed: "Why are you reacting like this? Did you not hear what I said clearly? Young Master Yu! Yu family! Young Master!"
Shang Wu quickly moved her phone away; her ears hurt from being yelled at.
She rubbed her ears: "Okay, okay, I know. It's just that the young master of the Yu family is coming. Anyway, he won't be making a public appearance, so what's there to get excited about?"
"You can't say that. Everyone knows that the young master of the Yu family is single. Countless daughters of prominent families are interested in him. Even if they can't meet the young master, they'll definitely try their luck." Tang Xueli clicked her tongue. "Maybe I'll get lucky!"
Shang Wu was curious: "How does it involve taking a chance?"
"Well, let's dress up and go have some fun. Who knows, the young master of the Yu family might take a liking to someone. I heard he'll be participating in the auction from the private room on the second floor. I don't think you'll be able to see what's going on on the first floor..."
Tang Xueli continued chattering, sharing her little tricks to attract the attention of the young master of the Yu family.
Shang Wu's mind was preoccupied with how to deal with Su Tingting.
She should have acted much earlier.
Su Tingting had been locked up countless times for opposing her, but she never learned her lesson and would provoke her again after being released.
She just couldn't understand it. The Su family's businesses were all connected with merchants, relying on the merchants' factories to do business. Where did they get the confidence to oppose her?
Shang Wu coughed lightly: "I need to make a quick phone call, I'll hang up now."
The call was disconnected, so she made a call to Su's father.
...
At 8 p.m., the auction had already opened its doors to welcome celebrities and dignitaries from all walks of life.
Besides the daughters and sons of wealthy families, many celebrities from other fields also attended the event.
This is because all the jewelry in this top-tier auction came from the private collection of an internationally renowned philanthropist.
As this philanthropist lay dying, he gave away all his wealth, including his most prized collection of jewelry, which he cherished throughout his life. All the proceeds from the auction were donated to scientific research.
It is said that this person had a very close relationship with the old gentleman of the Yu family.
Many years after the passing of the old master of the Yu family, the young master of the Yu family attended the event and auctioned off the jewelry of his grandfather's friend for charity, which can be considered as doing his part.
When Shang Wu arrived, many people gathered in twos and threes, discussing whether the young master of the Yu family was upstairs at the moment, and what kind of person he was.
As she entered the auction hall, it was as if she had entered a garden of flowers.
These young ladies, who are usually dressed in a glamorous manner, are like aspiring actresses walking the red carpet for the first time, putting in all their effort to create a highlight, wearing all those limited-edition and haute couture gowns.
In contrast, Shang Wu's ordinary silver fishtail halter dress looked very... plain.
Su Tingting was talking to someone when she saw Shang Wu's light makeup and simple dress, and she chuckled.
"Hey Miss Shang, you've broken up with your boyfriend, and nobody in your circle wants you. You've even said you look down on the young men in Lincheng, so you're just throwing caution to the wind? You come to an event like this without even bothering to dress up?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the other girls couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.
Su Tingting raised an eyebrow: "Look at you, anyone you pick out can beat you."
Shang Wu looked at her Western-style makeup and bright red dress, and smiled.
"Yes, I didn't really dress up, after all, I'm here to auction things. Unlike you—"
She looked Su Tingting up and down.
Su Tingting straightened her back confidently, hands on her hips: "What's wrong with me? This dress is haute couture!"
"I'm not saying your dress is difficult to wear." Shang Wu examined her face carefully and asked seriously, "I'm talking about your face, how much putty did you use?"
Su Tingting's smile froze on her face.
Shang Wu took a step closer: "Have you been painting your face with paint since before dawn?"
"If you jump into the swimming pool in the back now, the water will be all muddy, right?"
Those around couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Su Tingting was so angry that the flesh on her face was trembling.
"Your foundation is clumpy, go wipe it off." Shang Wu tossed a pack of wet wipes from her handbag in front of Su Tingting, took the champagne handed to her by the waiter, and left, lifting her skirt.
Su Tingting was furious. She threw the wet wipe into the corner and said fiercely, "What's with all her arrogance and smugness! No man dares to want her anymore. She's just throwing a tantrum because she can't get married!"
After they finished laughing, they started offering their own advice and encouragement.
"Alright, alright, don't bother with her. That kind of person is ruthless, shrewd but lacks manners. Why are you getting entangled with her?"
"That's right. You know no one in Lincheng dares to marry her, so you can have a beautiful marriage while she doesn't even have time to date."
Amidst a barrage of coaxing and persuasion, Su Tingting slowly exhaled and looked up at the second floor.
The doors to the private rooms on the second floor were tightly closed; I wonder if the young master of the Yu family has arrived yet.
She scoffed, "My target is the young master of the Yu family. Once I truly marry a man that no other rich second-generation in the entire city can compare to, she'll be in for a world of hurt!"
The women looked at each other, and when this topic came up, they were back to competing with each other, and none of them flattered Su Tingting anymore.
Su Tingting didn't mind and hurriedly went to the restroom to touch up her makeup.
Shang Wu waited for Tang Xueli to arrive in the corner.
Her phone vibrated, and when she picked it up, she saw a message from Lu Rang.
"Would you like to come up and sit down?"
Shang Wu smiled and replied, "[I wouldn't dare. If someone saw me enter Young Master Yu's room, they'd be terrified.]"
"Who are you texting? You're smiling so sweetly!"
Tang Xueli's voice suddenly rang out from behind.
