Lu Suizhi dotes on Shen Qingwu, and everyone in the circle knows it. A few months ago, on Shen Qingwu's birthday, Lu Sui arranged for LED advertisements on all high-rise buildings in Jingzhou to express his love in a high-profile manner. At 12 o'clock, hundreds of drones dropped rose petals over the square named by Lu.
It's hard to imagine that this is something a cold-blooded CEO could do, but Lu Sui did it anyway.
The photo of them kissing in the rain of flower petals went viral all over the Internet during that time. Gossip media often describe them as "childhood sweethearts, fairy tale love".
In fact, no one in Jingzhou thinks highly of them. Those pink-eyed people look down on Shen Qingwu's origins from the bottom of their hearts. Even now, their wedding has been scheduled for next month, and even the invitations have been sent out. Many people in the circle still hold it in their arms. The mentality of watching a joke.
This marriage, whether it was done or not, would definitely not be comfortable for Shen Qingwu.
Liang Ziqi didn't want her best friend to be wronged in the slightest, and her heart suddenly went crazy.
"Shen Qingwu, no matter what decision you make, I will support you. Sister, I have plenty of land. Even if you leave this scumbag Lu Suizu, and the... damn Shen family, what a shameful thing, you really think Can’t you do without them?!”
When Liang Ziqi was angry, a few short chestnut hair stood up on top of her head, like a little lion with fried hair. Shen Qingwu found it interesting and reached out to pinch her baby-fat cheek, "What, you want to support me, sister?" "
Liang Ziqi clicked his tongue in disgust, tilted his head, changed the subject, and asked, "Who is that man?"
After saying that, he glanced sideways at the marks on her neck and said, "The battle is so fierce, that man is the best? 818?"
Shen Qingwu thought for a while and said seriously: "I don't know."

There is an auction at the Bulgari Hotel at four o'clock in the afternoon.
Once this competing product was exposed, it attracted the attention of many top people in Jingzhou.
There were two men of outstanding temperament sitting in a corner of the venue. One was handsome and tough, the other was handsome and casual. Even though he was sitting in an inconspicuous corner, he still attracted the attention of many people.
"Keep warm after strenuous exercise." Ji Nanhuai glanced at the man beside him and sneered.
Lu Yanxing did not wear formal clothes today. He was wearing a black casual suit lined with a black T-shirt. A handmade silver feather necklace hung around his neck. His long arms were spread lazily on the armrest of the chair, and half of his body was slightly leaning back. On the back of the chair, her gray-blue highlighted hair contrasted sharply with her black attire. There was a careless smile on her lips, wild and unruly.
After listening to Ji Nanhuai's teasing, he bent his elbow and rubbed his sour nose, "I'm really worried about someone, you don't understand."
Lao Xie was right. These days, Lu Yanxing just wanted to poke fun in front of them every day, but he kept silent about the woman's identity.
Ji Nanhuai couldn't stand this man who suddenly started having sex. He was arrogant all day long, like a male peacock with its wings spread. He said "hehe" twice and said, "Are you sure? Why did I hear Manager Fu say that there was someone there that morning?" A woman escaped from the penthouse in ClUb?"
"People are afraid of you but they still miss you. How about you think about it again?"
Lu Yanxing was stunned for a moment. He wasn't really afraid of causing trouble, was he? Otherwise, why would she run away while he was taking a shower? !
"You're in trouble." Ji Nanhuai curled his lips, "I didn't expect that our Second Young Master Lu would also be confused. Now I'm really curious about who this woman is."
"roll."
Lu Yanxing raised his eyelids and his eyes fell on the dazzling figure at the door. She was completely different from other women dressed up. She did not have exquisite makeup or expensive dresses. Her clothes and shoes were simple and fashionable. Very girly.
Ji Nanhuai saw Lu Yanxing's sudden silence and followed his gaze.
"The daughter of the Shen family? That's right. Every time there is an auction of Sitri's paintings, she will definitely appear." He paused and continued, "Do you remember the painting in ClUb? I bought it from her gallery. I remember that painting was Sitri’s early work before she became famous, and the price she paid for it at the time was only 500,000. Do you know how much she asked for it?”
Ji Nanhuai gestured with his fingers, "One hundred million."
"This aunt is so cruel." He shook his head and said with emotion, "I can't help it, Miss Shen has a very good eye for painting."
"Everyone says she is a delicate rose. She is quite delicate, but don't forget that roses also have thorns. If Lu Sui is not careful with such a woman, it is hard to avoid being pricked all over her body."
"Speaking of which, she is your future sister-in-law. We are all part of the same family. Do you think I will compete with her for Sitri's paintings later?"
Lu Yanxing's light brown eyes dimmed, he lowered his eyelids and said lazily, "Whatever."
After Shen Qingwu took his seat, the auction officially began soon.
The previous competing products were all jewelry and antique porcelain. Shen Qingwu did not participate in the bidding and had been immersed in studying the catalog in his hand.
It wasn't until the first painting started to be auctioned that she raised her head and focused on the paintings on display.
"Lot No. 20, "The Sun" is a work by British contemporary artist AmOS. The starting price is 1 million..."
…
"Lot No. 28, today's finale painting, a new work by the foreign mysterious painter Sitri, "Falling Stars"."
The tone of the painting is similarly low and eerie, with thick colors and sharp contrasts.
There was no starlight in the dark blue night sky, and the wind blew through the quiet wilderness. The hem of the red dress of the little girl with a mushroom head fluttered, revealing a pair of small white feet. Under her feet was a thorn bush, and the dazzling blood-red color grew like vines. The soles of her feet are wrapped around her calves and winding up. Different from usual, the little girl in this painting only has her back.
"The starting price is 5 million, please bid."
Bidding soon began in the venue.
"5.5 million, 6 million, 8 million, 8.5 million..."
Shen Qingwu clasped his hands on his legs, tapped the back of his hands with his index finger, paused, and then raised the number plate in his hand.
"20 million, buyer No. 9 bids 20 million."
The venue suddenly became quiet, and the buyers who were planning to raise their placards showed hesitant looks on their faces.
"20 million for the first time..."
"50 million!" The auctioneer's excited voice suddenly sounded again, "Buyer No. 1 bids 50 million. Is there anyone higher than 50 million?"
Shen Qingwu frowned and looked in the direction of the bidder. The bidder was in the diagonal corner of her, slightly far away. For a moment, he couldn't see his face clearly. He could only see a rough outline. He was a man.
She looked away and held up the number plate again.
"80 million, buyer No. 9 bids 80 million..."
"100000000."
The auctioneer's voice could not contain his excitement, "Buyer No. 1 bids 100 million."
"Special note, this bid is now the highest price ever paid for a painting sold at Sitri auction. Is Buyer No. 1 sure about this bid?"
Ji Nanhuai nodded and glanced in Shen Qingwu's direction lightly.
One hundred million.
This number is much higher than Shen Qingwu's inner expectation, and the other party is bound to win. If he takes it hard, the gallery will be peeled off.
She quickly calculated the bid range and chance of winning in her mind. Just as she was about to raise her placard, she heard the auctioneer bid again.
"Twenty million."
"Buyer No. 2 bids 200 million..."
There was an uproar in the venue.
Ji Nanhuai frowned and looked at the man beside him, "Fuck, are you crazy?"
Shen Qingwu looked at the person holding the sign. After a ding sound, the information prompt sounded. She lowered her head and slid open the screen.
Xiao Qi: "Lu Sui has arrived outside the hotel."
"His expression is a bit fierce. Sister, do you want to run?"
