Chapter 1241 Who said that I treated her as a plaything?
As soon as Qin Xinxin finished speaking, there were discussions all around.
In the past, although the Qin family was not a poor family in Qing City, they were not close to such top wealthy circles.
So many people here don’t know where Qin Zhaozhao, who is beside Mingjue, came from.
But the Lu family used to have a good status, so many people have seen Lu Xin, and naturally heard about the Lu and Qin families holding the wrong daughters.
Several people were muttering that they didn’t expect that the Lu family’s biological daughter was so beautiful, but it was a pity that she came to the Lu family at the wrong time.
You know, the Lu family used to be much better developed than the Qin family.
Qin Zhaozhao didn't care what others said. She just looked at Lu Xin with calmness in her eyes and eyebrows: "Whether I can marry into the Ming family is up to the Ming family. But no matter whether I can marry into the Ming family or not, you can't marry them now anyway, so you naturally have no right to show off in front of me."
Su Tingchen's face darkened when he heard what Qin Zhaozhao said: "Qin Zhaozhao, there is no need to say such harsh words. No matter what, the sister who was with Professor Ming and accompanied him for more than 20 years is Lu Xin, not you."
Qin Zhaozhao pursed her lips: "That depends on whether Brother Ming recognizes this sister, or you can go and ask him yourself "Brother Ming, Lu Xin, oh no, Qin Xinxin, does he still recognize his sister?"
Su Tingchen looked at Qin Zhaozhao's unwillingness to compromise, and his heart was filled with anger: "Qin Zhaozhao! What are you proud of? Xinxin is not wrong. Your current status and position are indeed not compatible with the Ming family. Why do you have to force yourself into a circle that does not belong to you? Is it interesting?"
Before Qin Zhaozhao could speak, a deep male voice suddenly came from behind her: "Then in Mr. Su's opinion, what kind of circle should my daughter live in?"
Qin Zhaozhao turned around and met Lu's father's gaze. Her serious face just now was filled with Qin Xinxin smiled: "Dad, why are you here?"
Father Lu raised his hand and patted Qin Zhaozhao's shoulder: "Dad is here to attend the banquet too."
Qin Xinxin retorted without any courtesy: "You? Your Lu family has fallen to the point of bankruptcy. What qualifications do you have to attend such a dinner? Don't you plan to find someone here to beg for investment in order to revive the company? You are really not ashamed." Father Lu looked
at Qin Xinxin with a look of disappointment and coldness: "I'm here to do something, so I don't want to bother you, the eldest daughter of the Qin family, to meddle in my business."
He finished speaking, looking at Qin Xinxin. The line fell on Su Tingchen's face: "Mr. Su, since you have already broken off the engagement with my daughter, you and my daughter will be just strangers who are not even ordinary friends in the future.
Please recognize your own identity and speak to me with respect in front of her. It is not your turn to point fingers at my daughter!"
Su Tingchen said in a deep voice: "Mr. Lu has misunderstood. I just want to advise Zhaozhao, Mr. Ming, for the sake of our friendship in the past years. She is indeed not a good match for her. Tell her not to force herself into a circle that she is not suitable for, so as not to get hurt."
On the side, Mingjue greeted the old man, and when he saw that people were surrounding Qin Zhaozhao, he hurried back.
Hearing Su Tingchen's words, Ming Jue smiled faintly: "Boss Su's words seem to understand me better than I do. I am very happy that Zhao Zhao is willing to associate with me, but how come Boss Su says that she is marrying above her station?"
Su Tingchen looked at Ming Jue standing next to Qin Zhao Zhao, a perfect match, and felt more and more uncomfortable: "Professor Ming, I know your family is on good terms with the Lu family, but Zhao Zhao is not an ordinary girl. She is not a girl who can be treated as a plaything. I don't want her to get hurt, so please keep a distance from her."
"Who said I treated her as a plaything? Don't be a dog who only sees shit. You and I are not the same. Zhaozhao is very important to me! Besides, what qualifications do you have to ask me to keep a distance from her? Who do you think you are?"
Su Tingchen's heart tightened, and his eyes fell directly on Qin Zhaozhao's face.
Qin Zhaozhao's expression was also dazed for a moment, and he even turned his head to look at Mingjue. Why did this sound... a little ambiguous?
On the other side, Qin Xinxin, who originally wanted to pretend to be good in front of Mingjue, finally couldn't act anymore.
She took a step forward and retorted: "Brother Jue, don't be fooled by this woman. You have only known her for a few days. You..." "It's none of your business!" Mingjue glanced at Qin Xinxin coldly: "What did you say to the other person's father who raised you with his hands?"
"I..."
She felt guilty for a moment, "I wasn't wrong, was I? The Lu family is going bankrupt, why is he still coming to a place like this? Isn't that embarrassing?"
Mingjue sneered and was about to say something, but Lu's father patted his arm: "Okay, Jue, talking to this kind of person who doesn't use his brain to do anything is simply not a good idea. Let's go, the real business will start soon."
Mingjue glared at the two of them and extended his elbow to Qin Zhaozhao: "Well, let's go, Zhaozhao, go to the front hall and take a seat."
Qin Zhaozhao saw his wrist and almost didn't hesitate, so he took it.
She came here today to be his female companion, so it should be like this.
But looking at the direction where the two of them left arm in arm, Su Tingchen and Qin Xinxin only had anger in their eyes.
Qin Zhaozhao followed to the front hall, only to find out that the theme of tonight was a charity auction, and all the items auctioned would be donated to poor mountainous areas.
Not long after, under the guidance of the organizer, all the people who were chatting in the hall were led into the main hall.
Mingjue and Lu's father were both in the first row, so Qin Zhaozhao naturally sat between them.
According to their status in Qing City, Su Tingchen and Qin Zhaozhao could only sit in the corner of the fourth row, which was more than three or five levels lower than the first row. It was simply... inconspicuous.
When the auction started, both of them were holding back their anger.
The first items to be auctioned were a few paintings.
Mingjue came here to donate money anyway, so he symbolically raised his card twice. When others were still bidding one hundred thousand or one hundred thousand, he directly raised his card and bid three million.
In the end, no one competed for it.
When it came to the last landscape sunset painting, Qin Zhaozhao saw that no one was bidding, so she took the initiative to raise her card, with a starting price of one hundred thousand.
Seeing Qin Zhaozhao take action, Qin Xinxin, who was sitting in the corner, had a gloomy look in her eyes and directly raised her card: "Five hundred thousand."
Qin Zhaozhao frowned, turned her head and glanced in Qin Xinxin's direction, and looked at Lu's father: "Qin Xinxin likes painting?"
Lu's father shook his head: "No, she only likes luxury goods."
So, she was deliberately targeting him.
When she was about to raise her hand again, Mingjue next to her raised her card: "Three million."
After he finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Since Zhaozhao likes it, I'll give it to you."
Qin Zhaozhao shook her head, "No, no."
Qin Xinxin, who was behind him, saw that Mingjue had intervened and was whispering with Qin Zhaozhao, and she became even angrier and raised her card, "Three and a half million."
Mingjue curled her lips indifferently, and when she was about to raise her card again, she was stopped by Qin Zhaozhao. However, she pressed the gourd and the ladle was raised, and Lu's father next to her raised his card, "Four million."
