Feeling the burning heat of the man's chest, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but burst into tears.
In the end, the other private room also lost out, and Lu Zheng finally bought the necklace for 35 million.
After receiving the necklace, Qiao Zhen burst into tears. Lu Zheng comforted her, saying, "It's just a necklace. I've already bought it for you. Don't blame yourself too much."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen sniffed and nodded.
She had initially thought that Lu Zheng was hiding something from her, but she never expected that Lu Zheng was doing this.
The auction ended quickly, and Qiao Zhen went to the restroom. Inside, Lu Zheng was quietly waiting for him.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Lu Zheng thought it was Qiao Zhen who had arrived, so he picked up his things and was about to leave when he opened the door and found a pensive face in front of him.
Who are you?
Lu Zheng frowned, his expression unfriendly, clearly having no recollection of the woman.
When she was deep in thought, she realized that the person who came was Lu Zheng. She was full of confidence because she had filmed a variety show with him before, but Lu Zheng's attitude was completely unexpected.
His thoughtful expression froze for a moment, but he still smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, don't you remember me?"
Hearing this, Lu Zheng stared at his face, remained silent for two seconds, and after confirming that he didn't remember the woman at all, he prepared to close the door.
"I don't remember."
Just as he was about to close the door, Chen Si grabbed him and said, "Wait, Mr. Lu, don't close the door yet!"
Hearing this, Lu Zheng frowned and turned around, asking, "What is it?"
“I…I am Miss Shen, who was bidding against you for that dress just now in the audience.”
When she said this, she looked shy, as if Lu Zheng had done something to her.
"And then?" Lu Zheng frowned as he watched her struggle to articulate the main point.
"Because I don't have enough money on hand right now, I can't afford to buy that dress. So could you please let me have the dress? I'll pay you back later."
After saying that, she smiled sweetly at Lu Zheng.
It has to be said that Chen Si's face can pull off any style, and she believes that men will definitely not refuse her when she acts so coquettishly.
"no."
Unexpectedly, the man rejected her without even thinking.
The thoughtful smile froze on his face.
“Mr. Lu, but I really like that dress…”
He was getting a little anxious, his face flushed slightly, and he spoke in a hurried tone.
“This dress has already been chosen.” Lu Zheng didn’t expect her to be so difficult, and his expression darkened.
After Qiao Zhen finished using the restroom, she saw Chen Si arguing with someone at the door of her private room.
Upon seeing this, Qiao Zhen immediately stepped forward, only to realize that Shen Si was pleading with Lu Zheng.
"What do you need?"
Qiao Zhen looked at Chen Si with an unfriendly expression, unsure of what kind of trouble she was trying to cause.
Chen Si was shocked to see Qiao Zhen here. Her face paled. "What are you doing here?"
Didn't she lock herself up?
Seeing the surprised look on her face, Qiao Zhen simply curled her lips slightly: "You never expected me to appear here, did you?"
Seeing that Qiao Zhen had come out, Lu Zheng tried to pull her away.
The man beside him seemed anxious and somewhat unwilling.
"Miss Qiao, could you please let me have that dress? After all, I'm going to wear it to an awards ceremony later!"
The voice was loud and pensive, drawing the attention of passersby. Qiao Zhen stopped in her tracks upon hearing this.
Thinking that this meant he was going to give it to her, he immediately said with a smile, "Thank you, Miss Qiao."
Unexpectedly, Qiao Zhen simply pursed her lips and said, "Miss Chen, I don't owe you anything and I have no obligation to give you money. If you can't win the bid for the competing products, that's your own problem. Please don't try to morally blackmail me."
After saying that, Qiao Zhen left without looking back.
After being rejected and secretly watched by so many people, she felt embarrassed. She barely managed to suppress her inner rage and turned to leave.
Back in the van, the assistant cautiously asked Chen Si, "Ms. Chen, what happened just now?"
"What I did is none of your business. Who do you think you are to interfere in my life?"
He answered impatiently, grabbed the bag next to him, and smashed it over his assistant's head.
"Get the driver moving the car right now!"
Upon hearing this, the assistant silently suppressed his anger and turned to go to the driver's seat.
On the other side, after Qiao Zhen and Lu Zheng left the auction house, they unexpectedly ran into Gu Xijue.
Gu Xijue's expression was somewhat unpleasant, but he still greeted the two of them.
"What a coincidence that we meet again."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng's expression remained unchanged, while Qiao Zhen beside him nodded, "Are you here for the auction too?"
"To be honest, the person in the next private room was me, but I didn't know that it was the two of you in the room at the time, otherwise I wouldn't have asked the waiter to say those things."
At this point, Gu Xijue's expression turned somewhat bitter.
“It’s okay, auctions are always the highest bidder wins.” After Qiao Zhen finished speaking, Lu Zheng, who was standing next to her, had already impatiently pulled Qiao Zhen’s hand.
"Is there anything else, Mr. Gu?"
Seeing Lu Zheng's provocative gaze, Gu Xijue simply suppressed the gloom in his eyes and said, "I'm fine."
After saying that, Lu Zheng pulled Qiao Zhen away.
Back in the car, Qiao Zhen felt somewhat embarrassed: "He's still my friend, after all. You're being so ruthless to him, it's putting me in a difficult position."
