Chapter 46 Is President Lu feeling sorry for me?
Shi Nian's expression remained calm.
This information is easily found within the Huo family, and it doesn't mean anything.
"Do you know Shi Nian?" Huo Er suddenly asked again.
"I don't know him," Shi Nian replied calmly.
"Then I just don't understand." Huo Er scratched his head.
Shi Nianxiao turned around and looked at Huo Er, saying, "This is normal. Perhaps she liked that Tanzanite before, but later sold it to someone else. After several twists and turns, it finally appeared at this auction."
“It’s different,” Huo Er said seriously. “I heard that she really likes this tanzanite. I also heard that someone else had their eye on it at the same time as her, and she paid a price to get it, so she wouldn’t sell it easily.”
Shi Nian stared at Huo Er for a long time.
It gave him the creeps.
Finally, Shi Nian smiled and said, "In the end, didn't she still make her move?"
The fact that the tanzanite was included in the charity auction indicates that both Shi Nian and the subsequent buyers had decided to sell it.
Huo Er was completely stunned by what he was said.
I think what the other person said makes a lot of sense.
He could find no reason to refute it.
"Excuse me." Shi Nian said, nodded slightly, and turned to walk down the stairs.
But after only a few steps, he bumped into Han Wei.
Shi Nian felt a headache coming on. She wanted to avoid them, but they walked straight over, clearly trying to block her way.
"Yining!"
Finally, Han Wei spoke first.
Shi Nian stood still, calmly looking at Han Wei in front of her, wondering what she wanted to say.
"I advise you to stop," Han Wei said, her eyes full of threat. "You're just Fu Jinyan's companion; you should at least give Lu Yanzhi some face. What you're doing will only harm yourself and Fu Jinyan!"
Shi Nian ignored Han Wei's words; she simply looked Han Wei up and down at her black dress.
The dress did indeed have a wedding gown design, with delicate layers of lace embracing her; she looked beautiful.
The rumors circulating online are true.
Lu Yanzhi is usually a low-key person, but this time he made such a high-profile appearance, accompanied by Han Wei dressed like this.
What was he thinking?
Was it a case of unawareness, or deliberate leniency?
Or perhaps, they're in a rush to officially announce their relationship with Han Wei?
They can't even afford to give them a cooling-off period?
Thinking of this, Shi Nian lowered her eyes slightly and turned around.
"Han Wei, you don't need to tell me these things."
"It's your business if you want to buy that tanzanite, and it's my business if I want to bid on it. We'll each rely on our own abilities."
She said softly.
Han Wei sneered, "Each relying on their own abilities? Yining, that's a very meaningless thing to say."
"Both of us entered this arena through men, so of course we have to look at the men behind us. If Lu Yanzhi is stronger than Fu Jinyan, then I am stronger than you."
Shi Nian had had enough of Han Wei's attitude and didn't want to pay any attention to her, so she turned and left.
"Yining, this is your last chance!" Han Wei's voice came from behind. "You will definitely lose, and it will be a crushing defeat! I'm waiting for you to beg me!"
Shi Nian paused slightly, but that was all.
Not wanting to run into anyone else in the hallway, Shi Nian turned around and went up to the rooftop garden on the third floor.
The small garden was crowded with people, including business tycoons, collectors, and entertainment stars.
They held wine glasses, the champagne inside bubbling with colorful bubbles. With each nod and each clink of glasses, they seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding.
The rooftop garden is elegantly lit and romantic, with piano music drifting in the breeze.
The wine cups were clinked and toasts were exchanged.
Bright lights and bustling activity.
Perhaps this describes the scene at this moment.
Shi Nian walked to a corner, picked up a glass of champagne, took a sip, and stood there in the wind.
A constant stream of murmurs could be heard from all around.
"The third item today is also quite nice. It's a diary of a seriously ill little girl that I found specially. I think it's worth keeping."
"Actually, I also think that many children's paintings can reveal a glimpse of artistic talent, but their circumstances prevent them from continuing to grow properly."
"I hope this charity auction can bring them some warmth."
"The charity auction gala hosted by the Fu family is quite good. They allocate a huge amount of money to support charity every year, so there is no need to worry about the funds not being used effectively."
"That's good. Which competitors do you think will perform well in the second half?"
"Ignoring whether they're competitors or not, I just want to see who wins between 888 and 823!"
"Me too! Me too! This is so exciting!"
"How about we start a betting game, and see who wins?"
...
Everyone was eager to place their bets, and those who had been whispering just moments before were now excited.
One by one, they were eager to try.
The person involved, Shi Nian, leaned against the edge, ignoring the commotion on the other side.
Just then, suddenly, a shadow blocked out the light.
Shi Nian slowly turned around and saw Lu Yanzhi frowning as he looked at her.
Behind him was the endless clamor of gambling, and his eyes were as dark as the night.
Then, Lu Yanzhi asked, "Why do you do this?"
Both of them knew that they were talking about bidding for that piece of Tanzanite.
Shi Nian didn't answer, but looked into his dark eyes and asked back, "Then what about you? Why did you do this? For Han Wei?"
Lu Yanzhi did not answer; his lips were pressed tightly together.
He had never carefully considered his motives before the other party asked the question.
Just like his life, many times he simply believed he should do something and did it.
That was enough for him.
But when the masked woman asked if he was Han Wei, his heart did not accept it.
Actually, he just didn't want that Tanzanite to fall into someone else's hands.
That's all.
As for why he didn't want to, he didn't know.
The woman in front of him was very thin. The wind was strong upstairs. Looking at her paper-thin figure, he inexplicably asked, "Has it always been like this?"
Seeing the woman's questioning gaze, he said, "I'm ignoring your health and making you go out to work."
Shi Nian raised her eyebrows slightly, not understanding what Lu Yanzhi meant.
After a moment's thought, she finally spoke: "Mr. Lu, are you... feeling sorry for me?"
It's not "concern," it's "heartache."
Lu Yanzhi pursed his lips and remained silent.
Shi Nian lowered her head, and suddenly, she smiled, but her nose felt sore.
She had stayed by his side day and night, only to be told, "She's dying, let her go." But now, standing before him, she was Fu Jinyan's woman in his eyes, yet he offered his concern at the opportune moment.
How ridiculous.
"Since President Lu considers me to be Fu Jinyan's woman, what are you doing now?" Shi Nian asked softly, her head lowered. "Why are you saying these things to me?"
Lu Yanzhi looked at the woman in front of him. She lowered her head slightly, and the crescent-white half-face mask on her face perfectly hid her emotions.
He couldn't see through it.
He didn't understand his own heart either.
So he could only remain silent.
With emotions churning within her, Shi Nian finally raised her head and looked at the man in front of her, who was frowning and silent.
“President Lu, don’t show too much concern for people other than your own people, because that’s disloyal to her.” Shi Nian paused slightly, then smiled and said softly, “That will make her sad.”
For some reason, a pair of eyes appeared in Lu Yanzhi's mind.
A pair of sad eyes.
At that time, Nian was crying.
"President Lu, some people are dispensable."
"But some people, once they decide to leave, will never look back."
The masked woman had a soft voice. She stood there, her red lips parting and closing, looking beautiful and charming.
She was smiling, but for some reason, he felt as if she was...crying.
