Chapter 235 Mu Heqing's Phone Call [2 Updates]
There was a moment of disbelief.
The man suddenly stood up, making a noise even as the chair creak.
This was the first time he had lost his composure.
It's almost unbelievable.
Mu Chenzhou was startled, assuming he had been provoked: "Mr. Jing Yu!"
Meng Jingyu completely ignored Mu Chenzhou and only looked at Fu Yunshen.
As if remembering something, his expression shifted repeatedly.
But his reaction was perceived as extreme anger by the other guests.
Seeing this, Su Ruan sneered, but secretly felt a sense of satisfaction.
She turned to Fu Yihan and said, "Look at him, he extorted 500,000 from me, and then spent 5 million to buy a rotten flower to please another woman. What does he mean by that?"
"This has offended a powerful family in the capital, and none of you are going to do anything about it?"
Fu Yihan frowned and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Ruan, don't be like this."
"So what if I'm like this?" Su Ruan became more and more aggrieved as she spoke, her eyes reddening. "You have no idea how he humiliated me just now, making me spend 500,000 yuan on a broken cup! And it was all because of another woman!"
All the grievances she suffered after returning to Shanghai with Fu Yihan were caused by Fu Yunshen.
To this day, she still cannot get into Century Square.
Behind her back, many wealthy young ladies were laughing at her.
They also said she was disgusting and despicable, having been engaged to someone else but then climbing into another bed.
Su Ruan was furious.
But the Su family is far away in the capital, far from the emperor's reach, and can't control things in Shanghai, so they can't support her.
Because of her broken engagement, more than two years later, Grandpa Su is still angry with her.
She said that since she had married into the Fu family, she should listen to Fu Mingcheng and Madam Fu in everything.
A married daughter is like water spilled from a cup; the Su family will no longer care what becomes of her.
Therefore, Su Ruan harbored a great deal of resentment towards Fu Yunshen.
If it weren't for Fu Yunshen being her fiancé, she wouldn't be in such a helpless situation.
“You used someone else’s cup, so it’s normal to compensate.” Fu Yihan pinched the bridge of her nose. “Xiao Ruan, listen to me, Yun Shen has his own life too. Don’t interfere, we won’t interfere.”
“It’s precisely because you don’t care that I’m going to care.” Su Ruan ignored him and insisted on her own way. “I’m going to keep him on my shoulders for the rest of my life and make him willingly call me sister-in-law.”
Her expression was contemptuous and gloating: "But it's no use now. If you offend the families in the capital, even Grandpa can't protect you."
Last time, the Fu family was able to send Fu Yunshen to O Continent for refuge. Can they do it every time?
Fu Yihan was clearly aware of the problem as well, her brows furrowed in worry.
Su Ruan smiled broadly, waiting for Meng Jingyu to make trouble for Fu Yunshen next.
However--
Meng Jingyu slowly exhaled, her voice low: "I am not qualified to take this item. I was wrong before, forcing someone to do something they couldn't."
"It's just one flower, but you can find others."
Su Ruan's smile froze.
Mu Chenzhou was also somewhat stunned: "Mr. Jing Yu?"
Meng Jingyu's gaze turned colder as she looked at Mu Chenzhou, and she uttered two words: "Continue."
"Then let's make it ten thousand." Fu Yunshen withdrew his gaze and tapped his fingers lightly. "I've changed my mind. If someone wants to bid, that's fine too."
The dream scene was silent.
He frowned deeply, and tiny beads of sweat appeared on his smooth forehead.
Mu Chenzhou truly couldn't understand why Meng Jingyu's attitude had changed so quickly.
But now, he's the one in the awkward position.
Mu Chenzhou looked somewhat flustered and didn't dare to look at Ying Zijing. He sat down stiffly, his fingers clenching slightly.
The supplier of this tulip had originally set a very high starting price.
So even if it's only ten thousand, it's still a lot.
The premise is that this is just an ordinary tulip.
If it's a snow lingzhi, then it's priceless and unavailable.
Otherwise, Meng Jingyu wouldn't have made the trip herself.
The auctioneer was just an employee; he quickly instructed his staff to put the tulip into the box and then relaxed.
Ying Zijing took the box, opened it, and gently stroked a petal with her fingers, her eyes flickering slightly.
This snow lingzhi was even better than she had imagined.
It is 500 years old, so it can survive even after leaving the soil and retain its medicinal properties intact.
It must have been discovered and picked recently.
How it became a hybrid tulip variety remains a mystery.
Both snow lingzhi and ning shen flower have similar growing conditions, requiring temperatures of tens of degrees below zero.
However, snow lingzhi must grow on cliffs and steep slopes.
In Antarctica, there are many mercenary teams that specialize in investigating medicinal herbs.
However, even mercenary teams are extra careful when traveling in Antarctica.
Over billions of years, the Earth has undergone numerous changes and experienced several ancient eras. Beneath those ice layers, there are many ancient viruses.
If even one of them were released, it could very well destroy the entire world.
Therefore, the medicinal materials produced in Antarctica command very high bounty prices on the NOK forum.
A product of the caliber of Snow Lingzhi starts at five million US dollars.
She bought it for 10,000 yuan, which means she made a lot of money.
very good.
“I just remembered something.” Ying Zijing straightened up, seemingly lost in thought. “Rumor has it that you offended a family in the capital and were sent to O Continent, to the Meng family?”
“That’s not a rumor.” Fu Yunshen’s eyes closed slightly. “I left China after crippling that direct descendant of the Meng family.”
Ying Zijing turned her head and glanced at Meng Jingyu: "It's him?"
“No,” Fu Yunshen said calmly, “but he was watching from the side.”
Ying Zijin raised an eyebrow slightly.
How can something like this have such a large shadow?
I wonder how ruthless he was back then.
"Sir."
This form of address caused Fu Yunshen's eyes to darken slightly: "What?"
Ying Zijing closed the box again and turned her head: "When you have time, let's spar a bit."
Everyone else is too weak; she has to hold back when she fights.
Not enough.
"Hmm?" Fu Yunshen's peach blossom eyes suddenly curved into a smile, his tone casual, "Alright, kid, go easy on me later."
He paused for a moment, then said, "Don't hit my brother's face, anywhere else is fine."
"..."
**
The second half of the auction proceeded peacefully.
Because of the previous incident involving the tulips, when Ying Zijing was bidding for the blue-and-white underglaze red porcelain jar that Mu Heqing needed, no one was competing with her for it.
Who dares to rob it?
Didn't you see Young Master Fu sitting there, looking like he'd bury anyone who tried to take his money in his pocket?
Ying Zijing looked at the blue-and-white underglaze red porcelain warehousing she had bought for five million and remained silent for a moment.
He opened WeChat and sent a message to Mu Heqing.
Mr. Mu, you've saved money.
【？】
I think you should thank me and send me some snacks.
[...]
Mu Heqing was both amused and exasperated.
[Alright, alright, Xiao Ying, I'll cover all your snacks from now on. And forget snacks, I'll treat you to a Manchu Han Imperial Feast as many times as you want.]
Ying Zijing turned off her phone, picked up the two boxes, and took the elevator upstairs.
Fu Yunshen knew that she was going to meet Rita Bevan in the early morning and, worried about her safety, went with her.
After the auction ended, Zhong Manhua hesitated for a long time before finally mustering her courage and stepping forward.
"Mr. Meng, is it true that you're making house calls?"
The Dream Family represents the pinnacle of traditional Chinese medicine in China.
Mu Heqing almost died back then, but was saved by the Meng family, not to mention Old Madam Ying's headache.
"Making house calls?" Meng Jingyu turned her head and looked Zhong Manhua up and down.
It took him a long time to recognize her as the matriarch of the Ying family.
His complexion remained gentle, his voice like jade, and he said with a smile, "I'm sorry, you may not be qualified."
Even Mu Heqing sometimes went to the ancient medical community in person.
The winner?
What is it?
money?
The Meng family is not an ordinary family in the secular world; they are not short of money at all.
Zhong Manhua's face paled, and she opened her mouth: "But..."
"Make way." Meng Jingyu ignored Zhong Manhua and walked over.
Mu Chenzhou, standing beside her, glanced at Zhong Manhua with a complicated expression before following Meng Jingyu out.
Zhong Manhua stood there, stunned and embarrassed for a long time.
"Mom, let's go." Ying Yuexuan tugged at her sleeve and whispered, "There will be other ways to treat Grandma's illness."
Ignoring the stares of the other ladies and scions of wealthy families, Zhong Manhua quickly left.
Outside the hall.
Mu Chenzhou was about to call out to Meng Jingyu when he was interrupted by his phone ringing.
"Mom," Mu Chenzhou took a deep breath before saying, "My auction just ended, and everything is normal."
"That's good." Madam Mu smiled. "You'll have a new opportunity to learn and grow, which will provide you with more security when you inherit the Mu family business in the future."
“I have other important guests here.” Mu Chenzhou nodded. “If you don’t have anything urgent, I’ll call you back later.”
“Shenzhou, don’t worry,” Madam Mu said quickly. “Mr. Mu Cheng is here and says he has something to say to you.”
Mu Chenzhou was taken aback: "Grandpa's?"
Mu Cheng represents Mu Heqing, so his phone call is equivalent to Mu Heqing's phone call.
Before Mu Chenzhou could react, a different voice had already appeared on the other end of the phone.
"Young Master Chenzhou, I am Mu Cheng."
