Chapter 459 My best friend, how could she really be angry?
Wen Luoyun thought to herself, "With Murong Ting backing Kong Wange, is 15 million still a lot of money?"
The fact that she didn't compete with her means she must have realized that the lotus was fake and was deliberately trying to lure her into a trap!
No, she can't be the one to be taken advantage of!
Wen Luoyun took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. She returned to the hotel, and fortunately, the person in charge of the auction was still there. She slammed the lotus in front of the person in charge and said angrily, "This lotus is fake! I want a refund!"
The person in charge said in a good-natured manner, "Miss, our auction rules state that items must be counted in person before being sold. Once taken out, they cannot be returned or exchanged. This was stated from the beginning. Didn't you know that?"
Wen Luoyun gritted her teeth and said, "I know, but this is a fake Xuwei Lotus. Do you expect me to buy it?"
"Oh? You say it's fake? Do you have any evidence?"
Wen Luoyun choked for a moment, then took out her phone: "See? This book records that the real Xuwei Lotus does not glow at all. Look closely, your Xuwei Lotus glows, which is obviously problematic!"
The person in charge chuckled: "Ms. Wen, is that right? That's quite amusing. I wonder where you read those random books and now you're here to authenticate things? Do you think our film source appraisers are just freeloaders?"
Wen Luoyun's carefully maintained composure was about to crumble, and she forcefully shoved her phone in front of the person in charge: "Take a good look, this is the 'Illustrated Treatise on Mountains and Seas'! This book is an authoritative ancient book, and the things recorded in it cannot be wrong!"
"I don't care if it's the Shan Hai Tu Zhi or the Shan Hai Jing. Without evidence, we can't back out based on just your words. You've already left the hotel with the auctioned item. How am I supposed to know if you switched the item to try and extort us?"
Wen Luoyun gritted her teeth and said, "Would I, a young lady of the Wen family, try to extort you? If you can't give me a refund, then go find your boss!"
The person in charge's smile faded slightly: "Ms. Wen, our boss has already left. I advise you not to cause trouble. If you know what's good for you, take your things and leave quickly. Although the Wen family is considered a wealthy family, our Shadow Gate is not one to be trifled with."
Wen Luoyun: "You..."
Seeing that she still wanted to argue, the person in charge lost patience: "Ah Da, Ah Er."
Two burly men suddenly stepped out from behind him.
"Get them out of here."
Ah Da and Ah Er responded, each grabbing one of Wen Luoyun's arms and throwing her away despite her cries.
A young man behind the manager leaned forward and said, "Brother Zhao, this Miss Wen is a top student of the Imperial Academy. She has been studying medicine since she was a student. She spoke with such certainty, so there can't really be something wrong with our Xuwei Lotus, can there?"
The person in charge said irritably, "What problem could there be? Either she switched the item, or she pretended to be a big spender and then tried to deny it. There are always a few people like that every year. You'll get used to it after you've seen a lot."
"Oh, are rich people like this too?"
"Ha, who knows where all this money comes from? Alright, stop gossiping and get back to work."
The voices of the manager and the young waiter gradually faded away. Wen Luoyun, who had been thrown to the ground outside the door, got up covered in dust and was so angry that she almost ground her teeth to powder.
Not only did she embezzle public funds, but she also bought a fake *Echeveria elegans*.
If Wen Zhengning finds out about this, she will definitely be punished. She must come up with a solution to fill this gap as soon as possible.
...
On the other side of the hotel, An Jing had been in a low mood ever since she came out.
Kong Wange hadn't seen Yan Su's shadow, and she guessed that his brother's affair had probably been exposed.
It's truly a case of "when the city gates catch fire, the fish in the moat suffer."
She tugged at Anjing's arm and tentatively asked, "Jingjing, did my brother confess to you?"
"Hmph, it would be better if he confessed on his own initiative." After calming down for a while, An Jing's emotions stabilized a lot, and she briefly recounted the scene of Leng Yanluo's identity being exposed.
Wen Yue listened and guessed, and roughly understood what was going on between the two. She opened her mouth and couldn't help but sigh that even a screenwriter couldn't write such a wonderful script.
She could only watch silently, full of admiration.
After An Jing finished speaking, she glanced at Kong Wange and said, "Hmph, we'll settle your score with your brother later. Don't you have anything to confess?"
Kong Wange immediately raised her hand and said pitifully, "I confess, I was wrong, Jingjing. It's all my fault for being soft-hearted. I thought this was a matter between the two of you, and my brother should confess to you himself. Who knew he was such a coward? Please forgive me."
An Jing's expression softened slightly, but her tone remained serious: "I can forgive you, but how can you prove your heart and that you won't betray me in the future?"
Kong Wange fawned over him, saying, "I swear right now that Yan Su is completely bewitched, a scoundrel who has squandered all the food of heaven and harbors ill intentions. He should go to the eighteenth level of hell after he dies. I, Kong Wange, will sever all ties with him from now on. I will live a quiet life and die a quiet ghost!"
Anjing pulled down her hand as she swore: "Who asked you to be a ghost? Wouldn't it be better if we were fairies together?"
Kong Wange smiled and said, "You're not angry anymore?"
Anjing snorted again: "Of course I'm angry. My heart has been severely damaged, and it will take at least a five-figure meal to heal it."
"Alright, alright, I'd be happy to treat you every day, let alone just one meal!" Kong Wange had just calmed An Jing down when a car suddenly pulled up in front of them.
The all-black car body—it was the same one that Yan Su and An Jing had driven when they arrived.
Sure enough, the car window rolled down, and in the driver's seat was Yan Su's stern and helpless face. He had changed his clothes and taken off his mask, revealing his true appearance.
He stared at An'an and said cautiously, "An'an, shall we get in the car?"
He thought An Jing wouldn't pay attention to him, but to his surprise, An Jing strode towards him.
As she drew closer, Yan Su's breathing became increasingly rapid.
When she got closer, he hurriedly prepared to get out of the car to open the door for her, but Anjing pressed down on the driver's door, looked at him, and said calmly, "Give me my house key."
Yan Su paused, but did not move.
The quiet voice grew even colder: "Don't make me say it a second time."
After a long while, Yan Su slowly took out the key.
Anjing snatched it away and said, "I'll mail your clothes and luggage to Yudaoyuan. Goodbye."
After saying that, she got into the taxi behind her.
The car door slammed shut, startling Kong Wange and Wen Yue, who were standing not far away.
The taxi sped past Kong Wange and Wen Yue. She rolled down the window and waved, "I'm going back now. Let's meet up again when we have time."
"Okay, be careful on the road."
Quietly, she rolled up the car window, and the car sped away, leaving only exhaust fumes in its wake.
Yan Su's gaze followed the departing An Jing.
In just two hours, the once high-spirited Leng Yanluo had completely vanished, leaving only a Yan Su brand "Waiting-for-Wife Stone".
Kong Wange sighed and reminded her, "Everyone's gone, why are you still looking?"
