Chapter 200 The Auction Show Begins
Murong Tingfei gave him a cold look.
Seeing the two people below whispering to each other, Kong Wange couldn't help but feel a little uneasy: "What kind of reaction is that? Isn't it pretty?"
Just as Lin Cheng was about to speak, Murong Ting said, "Beautiful, especially beautiful."
Kong Wange breathed a sigh of relief. No woman dislikes being praised. Hearing him say that, she inexplicably reconciled with the four innocent hours that had passed away.
After going downstairs, she glanced at the time: "It's getting late, we have to go to the Kong family's house. You guys go back."
Murong Ting hummed in agreement: "I'll take you there."
After saying that, he reached out to support her.
Kong Wange paused slightly, and Murong Ting, as if knowing what she was going to say, said first, "The skirt is too long, be careful not to trip, it's also inconvenient for you to drive by yourself."
Kong Wange didn't say anything more.
Lin Cheng silently gave Murong Ting a thumbs up.
The group arrived at the Kong residence.
The Kong family mansion, which had been deserted for quite some time, was now brightly lit, with people coming and going in the garden, clinking glasses and exchanging toasts.
Kong Wange glanced at the time: "It's only 7:30, and they're all here already?"
Murong Ting said, "The quiet trending topic is so popular. Kong Zhizhao claimed that he found the jade himself. Everyone is just here to see something new, so it's normal that there are a lot of people."
Kong Wange curled her lips in a mocking smile: "That's good, it'll be more lively with more people."
"Don't worry, I'll do my best in a bit."
Kong Wange was taken aback, not quite understanding what the man meant. She assumed he was just being unreasonable again and replied dismissively, "Alright, that's enough. I'm going in now."
"Okay, go ahead," Murong Ting replied.
Lin Cheng smiled and said to Kong Wange, "Go for it, young mistress! You're the most dazzling girl here today!"
Kong Wange smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind words."
As soon as she finished speaking, Murong Ting stepped aside and stood between her and Lin Cheng: "Alright, it's not like we can't see each other, why all the small talk?"
Kong Wange: "..."
Murong Ting grabbed Kong Wange's slender wrist: "Wanwan, come back soon."
Kong Wange instinctively tried to break free from Murong Ting's arm.
Murong Ting whispered, "Don't move, Wanwan. There are so many people coming and going. If someone sees us, you have to give me, the one who lost the jade, some face."
Kong Wange: "...I borrowed the jade, not sold myself. Is this the only thing you're going to do to me for the rest of my life?"
Murong Ting thought the suggestion was very reasonable, and excitedly leaned closer: "Really? Is that okay?"
Kong Wange: "A shameless person is invincible. You win!"
Murong Ting touched his nose and said, "Wanwan, don't smile at others. Men are visual creatures. You have no idea how beautiful you look tonight. I'm just worried that some shameless guy might have his eye on you..."
"Stop, Murong Ting, that's enough." Kong Wange couldn't help but roll her eyes. "I'm going there on business, not on a blind date, okay?"
Murong Ting remained silent, his face clearly showing his displeasure.
"Alright, the person has been delivered. You should go back now."
Kong Wange ignored him, left a comment, and walked into the garden with a smile.
The thought of her about to personally kill her enemy filled her with fervor.
Not laughing? Impossible.
She must have been the happiest person tonight.
She wanted to listen to their repentance with a smile, to hear them say sorry, to hear them apologize to their mother, so that she could comfort her spirit in heaven.
Murong Ting watched her retreating figure, the tenderness in his eyes fading, replaced by a cold gaze as he said, "After tonight, the Kong family will cease to exist in Jiangcheng. Lin Cheng, Wanwan's revenge is about to be fulfilled. The paternity test can be done now."
Lin Cheng quietly said, "Okay!"
He turned and left the Kong family to make arrangements.
...
Inside the Kong Family Garden.
Kong Mengjiao followed Zhou Liru excitedly: "Mom, so many people came today, does this mean our family is about to turn our fortunes around?"
Holding a glass of champagne, Zhou Liru moved through the crowd with ease, saying, "As long as the jade is sold today, not only will we be able to turn our lives around, but we might even be able to live a better life than before."
She frowned as she spoke: "Don't just follow me. With so many people here today, it's the perfect time for us to rebuild our network. Why don't you take this opportunity to chat with a few more friends?"
Kong Mengjiao pouted: "I want to too, but those friends who used to be good to me don't like to talk to me anymore. They're a bunch of opportunists, and I'm too lazy to get close to them anymore."
Zhou Liru glanced at the group of socialites gathered not far away: "You mean those young ladies from the Li, Zhao, and Chen families?"
"Yes, she used to call me 'Mengjiao' all the time when we had nothing to do, but now that our company is failing, we don't even see her face when we meet."
Zhou Liru frowned and said, "The Li family, the Chen family, and the Zhao family already have a high status in Jiangcheng. Even if they don't want to talk to you, you have to stick to them and make them talk to you, understand? Besides, you're dressed so beautifully today, who can be more beautiful than you? There are so many talented young people here, why don't you go and meet them more often?"
Kong Mengjiao was in a good mood and readily agreed, "I know, I'll go in a bit."
As soon as he finished speaking, a commotion suddenly arose in the crowd.
"Holy crap, who is this?! She's so beautiful!"
"Really? We actually have beauties of this caliber at our banquet!"
"You don't recognize her? This is the young mistress of the Murong family, the eldest daughter of the Kong family, Kong Wange!"
"What? She's Kong Wange? Wasn't she supposed to be a country woman? Her clothes and appearance don't look like it at all!"
"Who says otherwise? That dress she's wearing was designed by the famous Italian independent designer AK. She only makes two dresses a year, and they used to be royal apprentices. Even if you have money, you might not be able to wear them!"
"I'm so envious! Is this the happiness of being a rich family's young mistress?"
Standing next to Zhou Liru, Kong Mengjiao looked at Kong Wange not far away, her jealousy so intense she almost crushed her wine glass: "Mom, you even invited Kong Wange?"
Zhou Liru's expression wasn't much better: "Why would I invite her? We stole our jade from her; she's almost certainly here to cause trouble!"
Kong Mengjiao was a little flustered: "What should we do? If she causes a scene, won't our auction be ruined?"
Zhou Liru gritted her teeth and said, "Let her make a scene if she dares. This stone originally belonged to our Kong family. It was tricked away by that Murong Ting. If word gets out, we're in the right. What are we afraid of!"
Kong Mengjiao took a deep breath and nodded, saying, "Yes, this is our home turf, we have nothing to be afraid of."
Although he said this, there was still an unspeakable sense of guilt in his tone.
She glanced at the group of socialites not far away, then looked at Kong Wange again. Her eyes darted around, and suddenly an idea came to her: "Mom, I'll go visit Sister Caidie."
Seeing that her daughter had finally understood, Zhou Liru quickly said, "Go on, go now."
In the socialite group, several young women were chatting excitedly about skincare.
As Kong Mengjiao approached, upon seeing the eldest daughter of the Li family leading the group, she immediately greeted her obediently, "Sister Caidie."
When Li Caidie saw her, she looked at her with disdain: "Oh, who do we have here? It's Mengjiao, the girl who likes to do striptease."
As soon as he said that, he was met with laughter from all around.
"Is Mengjiao not just someone who likes to do striptease, but also someone who likes to use the name of Chanyi to swindle and deceive people?"
