Chapter 99: Nothing special
After a long while, Bai Huanqing raised her eyes slightly, bit her lip and said, "Sister Liu Zheng, I know you just divorced Brother Yan Ci, your quality of life has declined, and you have lost your identity as Mrs. Fu. This temporary gap must be difficult for you to accept."
"I understand your feelings, but if you need money, you can just tell us, you don't have to..."
Bai Huanqing stopped talking, she pursed her lips, her clear eyes were a little nervous, as if she was worried about hurting Ruan Liuzheng's self-esteem.
His expression was extremely cautious.
Her gesture instantly softened Fu Yanci's heart and he unconsciously raised the corners of his lips.
There was a look of doting in his eyes that even Fu Yanci himself didn't notice.
Fu Yanci couldn't help but stepped forward and gently took Bai Huanqing's hand. His dark eyes were filled with tenderness. He whispered, "Huanqing..."
Xie Wan Ning on the side looked at the two of them with a smile in her eyes. While looking happy, she did not forget to smile provocatively at Ruan Liuzheng.
Instead, he did what Bai Huanqing failed to do.
Ruan Liuzheng glanced at Xie Wan Ning who had a provocative look on her face, then looked expressionlessly at the two people who were flirting in front of her, her light pink lips curled up in a shallow arc.
Cold and sarcastic.
She raised her eyes with an indifferent expression, "This is not the place for you to have an affair. I'm just reminding you that the reporters are outside."
"If you don't want a repeat of what happened a week ago, you two better stop it!"
Ruan Liuzheng looked at Fu Yanci and Bai Huanqing, his eyebrows slightly cold, "Don't disgust me in front of me."
Fu Yanci froze.
He held Bai Huanqing's hand tightly, frowned and looked at Ruan Liuzheng, his stern eyes showing a hint of chilliness.
"What qualifications do you have to say this? How can you be any better now?"
Fu Yanci sneered with disdain, "You have degraded yourself to the point of being a shameful mistress. Even if those reporters come, you will be the first one to be embarrassed."
No one knows Ruan Liuzheng's current asset status better than him.
Although he finally compromised and followed Ruan Liuzheng's wishes by signing the divorce agreement of voluntary gift, those properties were simply not enough to support Ruan Liuzheng to attend the art exhibition.
Not to mention buying things at the art exhibition.
Tickets for Mr. Wen’s art exhibitions are always hard to come by and you can’t get one just by having money.
Fu Yanci's eyes darkened, and he looked at Ruan Liuzheng with an increasingly cold gaze. He said coldly, "You must have put a lot of thought into coming here today."
Ruan Liuzheng listened expressionlessly, without a trace of emotion in his cold eyes.
It was as if Fu Yanci was insulting other people instead of her.
His expression was extremely indifferent.
After a long pause, she curled her lips slightly, "What's the point of you saying so much? Anyway, the painting is in my hands now. I am free to sell it to anyone or not, and at any price."
"Anyway, without my approval, none of you can get the painting, unless..."
Ruan Liuzheng smiled lightly, with a hint of teasing in her beautiful eyes and eyebrows, "You have the ability to paint another painting of the same standard as Mr. Wen's work."
"Otherwise, your only option now is to pay for the painting. But whether to sell it now depends on my mood."
Fu Yanci frowned, "What do you mean?"
Ruan Liuzheng glanced at him indifferently, her beautiful eyes and eyebrows were unusually indifferent.
She turned her head to look at the waiter beside her, whispered a few words, then turned around and was about to leave.
From beginning to end, she had no intention of paying any attention to Fu Yanci.
The three people standing there were completely ignored.
Seeing this, Fu Yanci and the others' faces instantly turned extremely ugly. They all came from wealthy families and had been accustomed to being admired since childhood.
They had never been ignored like this before, especially when the one who ignored them was Ruan Liuzheng.
A woman they looked down upon and never took seriously.
Fu Yanci and Bai Huanqing had both experienced being treated like this by Ruan Liuzheng, so although they were angry, they still suppressed their temper.
Because they knew very well that Ruan Liuzheng would not take their anger seriously at all, and their anger was worthless in Ruan Liuzheng's eyes.
In the end, you're just making yourself angry and it's completely useless.
But Xie Wan Ning was different. This was the first time she met Ruan Liuzheng and she had no idea about Ruan Liuzheng's temperament.
She just hated Ruan Liuzheng from the bottom of her heart and disliked Ruan Liuzheng's behavior.
Inexplicable, without reason.
Especially after hearing Bai Huanqing's description of Ruan Liuzheng, Xie Wan Ning's disgust towards Ruan Liuzheng reached its peak.
What right does a fickle and self-degrading woman have to act so arrogantly!
So, Xie Wan Ning couldn't help it first.
She took two steps forward and stood in front of Ruan Liuzheng, with contempt evident on her bright face with delicate makeup.
"Stop right there!"
Xie Wan Ning raised her chin high, with an arrogant look on her face, "I'll double your price, but I don't just want to buy the painting, I also want you to bow your head and apologize to me!"
Ruan Liuzheng stopped walking after hearing this. She slowly raised three fingers, her beautiful eyes tinged with a hint of teasing, "Three times! And you have to remove the other two items and just apologize!"
Xie Wan Ning pursed her lips, a hint of hesitation on her bright face.
Although she was born in the Xie family, she was only a side branch, and her family's assets could not be compared with those of the main family.
Three times, that's fifteen million.
It is equivalent to her company's profit for one month. She...
Xie Wanning frowned, her beautiful eyes full of hesitation.
Ruan Liuzheng looked at Xie Wanning quietly, and almost saw through Xie Wanning's thoughts at a glance.
A young lady who has not experienced any social experience, her methods are still a little immature.
Ruan Liuzheng frowned, and a faint light appeared in his cold eyes.
She chuckled twice, her tone slightly raised, "A young lady from a wealthy family wouldn't be unable to come up with this little money, right? It turns out that you people who claim to be noble are nothing more than that."
Ruan Liuzheng raised the corner of his lips slightly, and looked at Xie Wanning with a look full of sarcasm.
Xie Wanning's expression suddenly froze.
She clenched her palms and stared at Ruan Liuzheng, feeling an unusual pain in her eyes.
Except for the first time when her father's mistress came to her house when she was a child and she and her mother were ridiculed like this, no one had ever dared to treat her like this.
Yes, I just don’t dare.
Because from then on, Xie Wan Ning swore that she would never let those shameless bitches bully her again.
She, Xie Wan Ning, was born to be admired. Just the fact that she had the surname "Xie" made her an existence that ordinary people in Yuncheng and even ordinary wealthy families could not even dream of.
She would never let herself feel that kind of embarrassing gaze again.
However, at this moment, looking at Ruan Liuzheng's playful eyebrows and the clear meaning in her eyes, the past that Xie Wan Ning had hidden deep in her heart was suddenly brought out.
She was completely unable to think about anything else. She just wanted to destroy the playfulness on Ruan Liuzheng's face and prove herself.
Xie Wan Ning struggled to break free from Bai Huan Qing's persuasive arm. She was so angry that she nodded without hesitation, "Three times! Bitch, I want you to apologize to me right now! Shout 'I was wrong' three times right here!"
"Wan Ning!"
When Bai Huanqing heard Xie Wan Ning's words, she felt a black screen in front of her eyes and she almost couldn't maintain the expression on her face.
Through these days of getting along, she had already guessed Xie Wan Ning's character, as well as her mother who hid behind her and was deep-minded.
In the end, this money will definitely not fall on Xie Wan Ning alone.
Moreover, judging from Ruan Liuzheng's attitude, she would not allow them to default on the payment and would most likely ask them to pay it out immediately.
Where does Xie Wan Ning get so much money now?
Even if they add up what they have, they might not be able to make up that much, which would definitely be a joke!
Bai Huanqing's eyes went dark for a while. She gritted her teeth and looked at Xie Wan Ning, her clear eyes filled with undisguised contempt.
But when she thought about the current situation, she had no choice but to take a deep breath, force a smile, and reach out to pull Xie Wan Ning back in front of her.
She said gently, "Sister Liu Zheng, Wan Ning was just joking, don't take it seriously. I just thought about it. Although you don't understand painting, if you really like this painting, I won't compete with you for it."
"After all, a gentleman does not take away what others like."
Bai Huanqing looked at Ruan Liuzheng with a smile, her expression gentle, and every word she spoke showed her tolerance and magnanimity.
Xie Wan Ning stood behind Bai Huanqing, pursed her lips and looked at Bai Huanqing's back. She was now a little more sober and knew what she had just said.
Her face turned slightly pale, but the look she gave Ruan Liuzheng was still unfriendly.
Ruan Liuzheng smiled coldly, her beautiful eyes and brows full of indifference.
He looks strong on the outside but is actually weak on the inside. Even at this point he still refuses to admit defeat.
This spoiled young lady is so stupid!
In that case, she doesn't need to be soft-hearted anymore.
Ruan Liuzheng's eyes turned cold, and she raised her eyes to look at Bai Huanqing, and a faint smile slowly appeared at the corners of her light red lips.
"Is it so hard to admit that you have no money? Just now it was you who repeatedly stopped me, provoked me, and pestered me to buy my paintings. People always have to pay the price for their actions."
Ruan Liuzheng smiled, her calm voice carrying a hint of coolness, "Besides, everyone present heard what she just said. As a person, especially someone like you who claim to be of noble birth, how can you go back on your word?"
After she finished speaking, the waiter next to her nodded affirmatively. He saw everything that had just happened.
Naturally, you also know what is right and what is wrong.
The waiter was still thinking about the right side.
Seeing this, Ruan Liuzheng's smile became even more intense, and the look he gave Bai Huanqing became even more playful.
Bai Huanqing stared at Ruan Liuzheng steadily, a hint of viciousness quickly flashed across her pure and attractive face.
She frowned, slowed down her breathing, and then opened her eyes. Her clear eyes almost instantly turned red.
She bit her lip, "But Sister Liu Zheng, we..."
"Alright, Huanqing! We've bought this painting, don't go and plead with her anymore. This woman is a born money-worshiper and she's not worth your sadness at all."
Seeing Bai Huanqing's aggrieved expression, Fu Yanci finally couldn't help it.
He interrupted, then quickly walked to Bai Huanqing and wiped the tears from the corners of Bai Huanqing's eyes with heartache.
When he mentioned Ruan Liuzheng, his cold eyes were full of disgust and contempt.
