Chapter 456 The Brother-in-Law's Identity Revealed
Leng Yanluo had no experience and relied entirely on instinct.
As they kissed, he suddenly straddled Anjing and ripped off his shirt.
Suddenly, a bright red crescent-shaped birthmark on her side caught An Jing's eye.
Anjing's mind went blank for a moment, and suddenly she didn't know where the strength came from, but she pushed Leng Yanluo down onto the bed and took off his mask.
Beneath the mask was still that scarred face. Quietly, she picked up the water from the bedside table and splashed it directly onto the man's face.
Leng Yanluo immediately regained some of his senses, looking around at the scene before him with a blank expression.
The "scars" on his face were miraculously melting away with the flow of water.
She stared at him silently until his face slowly revealed its true form.
After a long pause, she gave a self-deprecating laugh, but her voice was surprisingly calm: "Yan Su?"
Yan Su seemed to realize what had happened. His blood seemed to run cold, and his face was filled with indescribable fear and panic.
He instinctively reached for Anjing's hand: "An'an, let me explain..."
Anjing flung his hand away, jumped off the bed, and said coldly, "Don't touch me!"
The air hung heavy with tension. The cold, ruthless man on the bed froze, his hand drooping limply after a long pause. "An'an," he said, "I...I didn't mean to lie to you..."
Quietly, hands on her hips, eyes red-rimmed, she stared at Leng Yanluo and sneered, "Not deliberately lying to me? Was someone holding a knife to your head? Forcing you to use Leng Yanluo's identity to approach me? To pretend to be my boyfriend?"
"I trusted you so much, I even brought you home and spoke up for you in front of my sister. I must have been fucking crazy, an idiot, and blind!"
She accused him, "What do you mean by this? When I liked you, you didn't agree. Now that I don't like you anymore, you're chasing after me. What? Qin Yiyi doesn't want you anymore, so you think I'm better now? Are you being pathetic? Let me tell you, I don't care about An Jing!"
Anjing couldn't stop her tears from flowing. She kicked aside the stool next to her and strode out.
Leng Yanluo hurriedly got off the ground and grabbed her, saying, "No, An'an, it's not like that..."
Anjing wiped away her tears, then calmly said, "If it's not what I said, then what is it? Dare you say that the incense in this room wasn't part of your plan?"
Leng Yanluo gripped her wrist, utterly dejected, "No, no, no, An'an, let me explain, this was all Qin Yiyi's scheme against me..."
"Fine, you dated me while pretending to be Leng Yanluo, and then you were having sex with Qin Yiyi while pretending to be Yan Su. You beast!" An Jing interrupted him through gritted teeth, delivering her final verdict.
Yan Su was sweating profusely, but he didn't know how to explain it. Everything that happened today was completely beyond his expectations.
"Yan Su, if I hadn't happened to discover your identity today, how long were you planning to keep it from me? You feel a great sense of accomplishment watching me get completely fooled, don't you?" An Jing asked, her voice cold and frosty.
Leng Yanluo argued, "An'an, today was really an accident. Even if you hadn't found out, I was going to tell you the truth anyway. If you don't believe me, go ask Xiaoge'er."
"What... Xiaoge'er knows too?"
Knowing he had said the wrong thing, Leng Yanluo fell silent.
Anjing took a deep breath: "Tell me honestly, besides Xiaoge'er, who else knows?"
"And...and Murong Ting and his little assistant also know."
After saying that, Leng Yanluo quickly pleaded, "But don't blame them. I told them not to tell you. Xiao Ge'er gave me a deadline to be honest with you, but I... I just didn't know how to bring it up."
"You, the culprit, still have the nerve to plead for others? You don't need to pretend to be a good person here! I am clear about right and wrong, and from beginning to end, the only one who has wronged me is you."
Anjing gritted her teeth and said, word by word, "I never want to see you again in my life."
After she finished speaking, she shoved him away and left without looking back.
Leng Yanluo watched her retreating figure and subconsciously wanted to chase after her, but although he was somewhat sober, the effects of the drug had not yet worn off, and some of his physical characteristics were still noticeable.
He chased after her to the door but couldn't stop her. Frustrated, he tugged at his hair and went into the bathroom.
...
An Jing returned to the venue as the auction was nearing its end.
Her eyes were red and swollen, and she exuded an aura of "keep away, strangers."
When she saw Qin Feng and Shen Li in the private room, she was stunned for a moment. Although the An family had no connection with the Shadow Gate, they were both in Kyoto, and she knew Master Qin.
Not wanting to lose her composure in front of strangers, she forced herself to nod as a greeting.
After she sat down, Kong Wange asked in a low voice, "Where's Leng Yanluo? Have you found him?"
Quiet and listless, he remained silent.
Kong Wange glanced at her red eyes and asked, "Did you two have a fight?"
Quietly, she turned her head away and muttered, "You little liar, don't talk to me. I'm breaking up with you for five minutes."
Kong Wange's heart sank. Could it be that her brother's secret had been exposed?
Just as she was about to ask more questions, the auctioneer on stage announced excitedly, "Now let me present the last item for auction, a precious medicinal herb that grows and flourishes in the mountains and is priceless—Xuwei Lotus!"
As the curtain outside the glass enclosure was lifted, a murmur rippled through the seating area, and Kong Wange couldn't help but glance over.
Inside the enclosure, the lotus flower was shaped like a lotus, its petals fully open, crystal clear, emitting a soft blue glow under the blue light, like an ancient divine flower, sacred and mysterious.
The auctioneer diligently introduced the product on stage: "This lotus is extremely rare. It was preserved using the most advanced freezing technology from the moment it was picked, which maximizes its beauty and medicinal value. It's no exaggeration to say that it's priceless. The auction will now begin, with a starting price of 400,000."
Wen Luoyun immediately held up a sign: "500,000."
"Okay, 500,000 per time."
Seeing this, Wen Yue quickly raised her paddle: "600,000."
"Okay, someone in the VIP section has raised a paddle for 600,000, is there anyone else...?"
"800,000."
"800,000 per time!"
"..."
One wave of people raised their paddles after another, and with Wen Luoyun intentionally driving up the price, it quickly rose to over a million.
"Wange, why is Luo Yun trying to snatch this Xuwei Lotus? Is she doing it on purpose?" Wen Yue whispered anxiously in Kong Wange's ear.
The price has risen so ridiculously in such a short period of time. The bank account she has at most has only a little over 800,000 yuan. Adding her parents' money, a little over one million yuan is the limit she can afford.
Upon hearing this, Kong Wange stared at the auction stage, her eyes narrowing: "Is there any need to ask? She's here today to snatch the medicine from us. She definitely doesn't want Uncle's leg to get better. Since she wants to bid, let her bid first."
Wen Yue was stunned for a moment, and before she could ask a question, Qin Feng, who was next to her, saw that the two of them were whispering to each other but not raising their paddles, chuckled and asked, "Miss Kong, are you short of funds? I forgot to mention, our Shadow Gate also does loan business."
Upon hearing this, Shen Li couldn't help but complain in Qin Feng's ear, "Brother Feng, you've gone too far! You have so much money in your private accounts, can't you just lend it to Sister Kong directly?"
