"She came here early today. Without her, I wouldn't be able to handle it in many cases."
Jiang Youning's meaningful eyes made Lu Ke laugh helplessly, "Mom, what are you hinting at?"
Jiang Youning's eyes widened and he said innocently, "I didn't imply anything. What can I imply? I'm just stating a fact. Don't be so sensitive. I'm not one of those antiques, remember? I'm in the United States. Having lived here for nearly twenty years, I know what it’s like here.”
Lu Ke said nothing and was about to "pretend" that nothing happened.
But Jiang Youning just took a breath and continued, "I just said that you should have gone home last night. You should not have left Tangtang alone at home. This is really not good. Did you two quarrel? You You should apologize to Tangtang. Tangtang put off all her work for you and made a special trip to accompany you to compete in the playoffs. You should know that there was no need for her to do this, but she did it anyway, and she came over early to help today. ——Even if you quarreled..."
"Mom, we didn't quarrel." Lu Ke had to interrupt his mother. If the misunderstanding continued like this, he might not be able to explain it clearly.
Jiang Youning was stunned, with confusion in his eyes, "Then why did you come back alone last night?"
"I was drinking, remember? I don't remember very well. I just took it for granted that after the game day, I would return to my original home to accompany you. I don't know what I said after getting into the taxi. The address, or the address reported by Logan and the others. I really forgot it." Lu Ke was a little helpless, but still explained patiently.
"Forgot?" Jiang Youning shook his head slightly, "This is not a good excuse. Even if you forgot when you got in the taxi, you shouldn't forget it when you get home. Tangtang didn't call you, which means she is angry. ”
"Mom, Tangtang didn't call me, that's because she understands me..." Lu Ke tried to resist.
But Jiang Youning immediately cut off Lu Ke's words again, "You can't do whatever you want just because Tangtang understands you. You know that any emotion starts to become alienated because of such negligence. You must know the seriousness of the problem. Sex. Even if there was really no problem last night, what about this morning? You made a special trip to visit Miles but forgot about Tangtang? She drove here by herself, which shouldn't be the case. "
Lu Ke completely gave up his plan to defend himself, and just looked at Jiang Youning seriously, "Mom, if I remember correctly, I am your biological child, right?"
"Nonsense!" Jiang Youning raised his hand and slapped Lu Ke hard on the back. This made Lu Ke's facial features gather together and express his pain with his expression. "I'm just saying that you should face Tangtang. Don't Take those things for granted. Only when both parties pay for each other can the relationship be complete."
"Mom, to be honest, are you worried that I won't be able to find a girlfriend besides Tangtang?" Lu Ke gave an unexpected answer without warning.
Jiang Youning was stunned, but then turned to him and said, "You kid, what are you talking about?" She didn't deny it, in fact, she just admitted it. She didn't dare to say it directly. When she first learned that Lu Ke was dating Candice, she and Lu Zhengze were both extremely surprised. They thought that Lu Ke might never find a partner after being immersed in the training field for a long time. In the past, it was because Lu Ke was still young and did not need to worry about life-long events yet. This was not too much. Talkative.
Lu Ke looked at Jiang Youning, who was slightly awkward, and could only smile bitterly: He is indeed his biological child.
Then, Candice noticed Lu Ke and Jiang Youning, and took the initiative to come over and say hello, "Bambi, come here and help, we still need people here."
Lu Ke made an "obey" gesture towards Jiang Youning, "Then I will go over now to consolidate this relationship and avoid your son's fate of being abandoned."
In Jiang Youning's eyes, Lu Ke rushed out and gave Candice a big hug, "How is it? Is everything going well? I mean, do you need my help? I'm here today. The whole day is free and can be dispatched by Ms. Candice.”
"Ha! Of course... of course!" Candice was obviously sarcastic, with a sarcastic smile slowly appearing between her brows and eyes.
She knew that Lu Ke still had plans in the afternoon. Even though it was a rest day, he had to start preparing for the next decisive battle, starting from watching game videos and studying tactics. This morning, I made a special trip to come to the auction. This is already very rare, because it may require a delay of three to four hours, and because in fact, Lu Ke's absence does not have any impact——
He only needs to hand over the auction items to Jiang Youning, and that is enough. Relying on Lu Ke's reputation, the auction items can be sold at a good price.
But considering that this was Jiang Youning's first time organizing a large-scale event, Lu Ke still wanted to be there in person to cheer for his mother, so he changed his mind.
Lu Ke quickly defended, "I'm serious. If you have any work now, just assign it to me. I will be your little employee next."
Candice frowned slightly and looked at Lu Ke with confusion, "There's something wrong with you? Why do I smell fishy smell? What's going on?"
Lu Ke and Candice have known each other for too long, and they can always sensitively detect each other's abnormalities. After confirming their relationship, they became even closer. Candice could see Lu Ke's movements and expressions at a glance. There are some differences in normal times, which are exposed without hesitation.
Lu Ke raised his hands to express surrender, but he still held the gift bag in his right hand, which seemed a bit funny, "I didn't go back last night, and I didn't call you; then, I didn't escort you to the venue this morning, so I must formally apologize. I shouldn’t take things for granted and I should still show that I take them seriously.”
Candice was still looking at Lu Ke with confusion on her face, looking up and down, and after a long time, she held back a sentence, "Are you stimulated?"
Lu Ke's head was covered with black lines.
Candice burst out laughing, "Bambi, you know I don't care about this. After every game day, you will return to your parents' house, I know that; before the auction this morning, you have to go there to visit You have told me about Miles before. I know what happened, I won’t worry, let alone be sad. You should believe that I am an independent girl and I can handle things well. "
Lu Ke nodded, hugged Candice into his arms, and pressed a gentle kiss on her forehead, "This is why I like you so much."
Candice lifted her chin from Lu Ke's arms, "Very good, can you tell me now, what's going on?"
"...Mother is worried that you will turn around and leave me, and then I may be single forever." Lu Ke said honestly.
After two seconds of silence, Candice's eyes filled with smiles, and the corners of her mouth raised involuntarily, "Now, you are in trouble. Remember to please me in the future, otherwise I will complain to Anne and say You bully me, and then let Annie deal with you."
Lu Ke looked helpless, put away his chin, and looked at Candice in his arms, "Why does it need mother to appear? As long as Queen Sugar issues an order, I will definitely not disobey it. I believe that we can have a good relationship." solve'."
Lu Ke's voice deliberately emphasized a certain word, which seemed to be hinting at something. This made Candice's cheeks immediately blush, and her entire expression became extremely shy, and then she looked away. The light caught the figures around them, and then they realized that they were in a public place, and now was definitely not the best time to whisper.
"Bambi! We are in the first round of the auction. The whole audience is busy now. Please help quickly." Candice raised her head and said to Lu Ke, but found that Lu Ke was still motionless. She could only beat Lu Ke hard. He pinched his chest twice and said, "I'm serious. Didn't you see that the whole place was busy?"
"Huh." Lu Ke groaned, as if he was seriously injured.
This made Candice laugh helplessly, gritted her teeth, and said word for word, "This is not a place for joking." Even so, the smile at the corner of her mouth couldn't help but rise. In the end, Kandice Tisi simply ignored Lu Ke, turned around and walked away "uncooperatively", and even deliberately smiled back at Lu Ke, with a cunning light shining in her eyes.
Lu Ke stood there with his hands spread out, and could only show his teeth to Candice with a "Great White Shark" smile, and Candice couldn't help but laugh brightly.
Lu Ke then quickly caught up, "Tangtang, wait, I'm serious, this gift..." Lu Ke raised the gift bag in his hand and explained, "... from Miles Scott , this is an auction item specially donated by him. How about it, have you reserved a place in advance? But do we need to publicize it now? Or should we inform you specifically? Miles and I are both looking forward to it having an outstanding What’s the transaction price?”
Candice stopped and said, "Yes, we have reserved a space in advance." As she said this, she took out the gift prepared by Miles from the gift bag. "Oh! It's actually the Batboy suit! How can he Donate this? Isn’t this a souvenir with special significance?”
"Yeah. I know. I said the same thing, but he still insisted. He is really a boy who can bring surprises every time. I also specially invited him to attend the Super Bowl. Then, you can get to know him up close. "
"Oh, we need to promote it well. This suit will definitely be very, very popular. Even I hope to participate in the auction."
…
As Candice said, the auction is now undergoing its first round of activities, and it is also the first round of bidding that everyone can participate in collectively.
Because there are so many donated items in this auction, there are more than 300 items. If each item is auctioned by public bidding one by one, it is not known how much time will be consumed; moreover, each auction item There are high and low values, and the meanings are naturally different. In order to distinguish them, the auction is divided into two rounds.
