Chapter 1142 My husband is not infatuated with me (20)
Ju Shichu was about to raise his placard to bid, but his hand was suddenly held down by Yan Cheng, who said, "I'll do it."
Then he raised his own sign: "Fifty-six million."
When Tang Qin saw that it was Yan Cheng who raised the card, her face suddenly changed. The pride and provocation just now all turned into anger and unwillingness. She was not angry with Yan Cheng, but was jealous of Ju Shichu, the vixen who bewitched Yan Cheng, so she stared at Ju Shichu with resentment.
Now it was Ju Shichu's turn to be the proud person. It must be said that it felt really good to take advantage of the power of another. When Ju Shichu saw Tang Qin's ugly face, he felt as if he had drunk cold spring water, and felt extremely refreshed.
As soon as Yan Cheng made a move, no one continued to compete with him, so the set of emerald jewelry was won by Yan Cheng.
"Thank you this time. Otherwise, Tang Qin and I would still have to fight. Even if I succeeded in bidding, I would have to spend a lot of money. I would be heartbroken." Ju Shichu said to Yan Cheng with gratitude, "Don't worry, I will return the money to you. I won't let you lose money."
"No need, it's just a small amount of money." Yan Cheng looked at her steadily, his low and magnetic voice was particularly pleasant to the ear. For a moment, Shi Chu couldn't tell whether it sounded so good because of his generosity or because of his voice.
After being obsessed with the voice control benefits for a while, Ju Shichu realized the meaning behind his words and immediately felt jealous. Almost 60 million yuan was just a small amount of money for him... He was indeed a rich man.
"No, it's a small amount of money for you, but it's a lot for me. We are friends, how can I take advantage of you? Don't refuse, I will definitely return the money to you." Ju Shichu said seriously.
Seeing her determination, Yan Cheng nodded and said, "Okay."
It was almost ten o'clock when the auction ended. Yan Cheng sent Ju Shichu home. When getting off the car, he handed her two exquisite boxes.
"Why two? I only took a picture of the emerald jewelry set, and you gave me one more." Ju Shichu said to Yan Cheng with a smile, "One of them must be something you took a picture of yourself."
Yan Cheng shook his head and said, "No, both are yours."
Ju Shichu looked at him with confusion: "Is the jewelry set divided into two boxes?" She opened the two boxes as she spoke.
However, one of the two boxes contained the set of emerald jewelry, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and crowns, all in one box; and the other box contained an antique hairpin with gold thread and jadeite.
"I told you, this antique hairpin is yours. You really gave it to the wrong person." Ju Shichu immediately breathed a sigh of relief and quickly returned the antique hairpin to him.
Yan Cheng did not take it, and said: "This is a gift for you. I think it suits you very well. If you don't want it, just throw it away."
Ju Shichu looked at him mysteriously: "Why did you suddenly give me a gift?"
"Just give it to me if you want to. As my savior, shouldn't you accept a small gift?" Yan Cheng asked her back.
But Ju Shichu felt something was wrong. She shook her head and said, "I can't accept such beautiful and valuable antique jewelry. Why don't you take it back and give it to your mother?"
"My mother left me a long time ago, and there are no other women in the family. If you don't want it, you can just throw it into that trash can." Yan Cheng pointed to a trash can not far away and said in a somewhat cold voice.
Ju Shichu's heart paused, thinking of the life-and-death struggle between him and those people in his family. Could his mother have died in the internal struggle?
Thinking of this, she looked at him with sympathy. He was also a poor man. He bought an antique hairpin but couldn't give it to his mother, so he could only give it to himself. So she didn't refuse anymore, but just thought about giving him a gift of similar value in the future.
"I can't bear to throw away something so precious." Ju Shichu smiled at him, closed the box, picked it up, and said, "Then I'll take it, thank you!"
Yan Cheng looked at her leaving back with a slight smile on his face. Even if Ju Shichu hadn't said it explicitly, he knew that she must have thought that her mother had passed away, which was why she agreed to accept the hairpin.
But he just said that his mother left him a long time ago, but he didn't say that she had passed away. His mother is still living happily in some country. It's not his fault that Ju Shichu misunderstood...
Yan Cheng did not mislead Ju Shichu's guilt at all. Instead, he felt that he had found her character weakness. She was a person who was soft-hearted and would not take to being tough. Well, he would try to show his vulnerable, pitiful, and pretending-to-be-strong side in front of her more often in the future.
Ju Shichu, unaware that her weakness had been exposed, happily went home with the gifts, not realizing how many traps Yan Cheng would set for her in the future.
The days passed in Yan Cheng's frequent actions of boiling a frog in warm water against Ju Shichu. Ju Shichu had not thought about the original intention of coming to this world for a long time. But suddenly one day, Ju's mother said that she knew the news about Ju Shuhui. Ju Shuhui was finally dumped by her husband. She threw a tantrum and did not want to divorce, but a heartless man would not feel sorry for her. If she refused to divorce peacefully, she would sue. In the end, no matter how Ju Shuhui objected, she was still divorced.
"I'm telling you, no matter how pitiful she is now, you can't be soft-hearted and contact her again, understand?" Ju's mother reminded Ju's father solemnly, "It's not that I'm hard-hearted, but she ignored Shichu's lifelong happiness and used Shichu as a tool to please others. I was completely disappointed with her. She only loves her ex-husband and doesn't care about us relatives at all."
Father Ju said coldly, "I will not forgive her. Besides, she is already over 50 years old, and her son and daughter are grown up. How can I take care of her? I no longer consider her a relative."
"That's good. I was just afraid that you would be soft-hearted and contact her again. She is a person who only remembers grudges and not kindness. She is an ungrateful and ungrateful white-eyed wolf. You will only hurt yourself if you associate with her. You must never have anything to do with her. When I think about how she schemed against my daughter, I can't forgive her." Mother Ju still hated Ju Shuhui when she thought of what happened.
When Ju Shichu heard his parents talking about Ju Shuhui, he remembered Guan Lizhen, who she had long forgotten. He wondered if the man listened to him and continued to stay by his sweetheart's side? Or had he found another woman to deal with his family?
If it was the latter, Ju Shichu would not let him off easily. He used another woman as a tool to deal with his family, and then when his sweetheart got divorced, he immediately divorced her to pursue his sweetheart. This was really a lack of virtue. Did that innocent woman dig up his ancestral grave? Was she going to be deceived and betrayed by him like this?
This is absolutely inexcusable behavior.
If Guan Lizhen had not cheated other innocent women, but had really silently protected and waited for Meng Xi, Ju Shichu would still look up to him.
