Fighting for a Jade Pendant With a Rich and Beautiful Woman 3

Tong Lu bit her lower lip hard. She was excited to see the jade pendant, but right now, she felt as if she had just gone from heaven to hell. She only had ten million RMB to her name. How could she fight with the rich and beautiful woman for the jade pendant?

But “her mother’s love” was right before her eyes…

Tong Lu rose and went before Xu Jing. She bowed a little and said, “Miss Xu, this jade pendant is really important to me. Can you let me have it?”

“If you want something, there’s no point begging other people for it. Whoever is able to pay more will get the item. If you can afford something, it will naturally become yours. If you can’t afford it, it means that the item doesn’t belong to you. Do you understand this?”

Xu Jing was well-educated ever since she was young, and there was a calm and graceful aura about her. She took a sip of red wine and chuckled at the way Tong Lu was biting off more than she could chew.

“I know right. Young lady, Xu Jing will be the mistress of Leng Consortium in the future, and she has all the money in the world. Do avoid biting off more than you can chew. If you were to offend Miss Xu, how would you continue living in this country?”

Tong Lu gritted her teeth hard. She did not want to fight for something with a rich and beautiful woman either. But this was the only item her late mother had left her with, and as she gazed at her mother’s “love” that she had finally found after years of searching, she was really reluctant to let it go. What should she do now?

The Leng family? Since Miss Xu is Leng Yejin’s woman, does it not mean that she was her future sister-in-law?

A month ago, she was forcibly taken to the Leng family. Only then did she find out that her deceased husband was the illegitimate son of a rich and powerful family. She also had a brother-in-law called Leng Yejin, which she reckoned was the person who held the position of command in the Leng family now. However, the Leng family could not care less about her and had almost ignored her. Moreover, they did not allow her and Shanshan to leave. She had never seen this brother-in-law of hers either.

She heard that he was a very busy man. He had just gained control of the Leng family, and a lot of things still had to be handed over to him. If only she had the opportunity to meet this brother-in-law of his earlier, he might let her have the jade pendant for the sake of his deceased brother.

Tong Lu decided to reveal her identity. “Miss Xu, I’m actually-”

“If you want the item, bid on it,” Xu Jing cut her off impatiently. “Don’t waste everyone’s time. I hate people who try to bite off more than they can chew, like you, the most.”

Tong Lu clenched her fists. She could no longer afford to make a bid, and a hint of despair flashed past her eyes. She shook her head, and there was a dejected expression on her face.

People around her were laughing and whispering among themselves.

“I’ve already told her not to fight for the item with Miss Xu. Bidding on an item that Miss Xu has her eyes on, she really didn’t know what she was getting into, did she?”

“I know right. Just take a look at what she’s wearing. She probably got her clothing items from some department store. Look at the dress Miss Xu is wearing. It’s definitely tailor-made from some expensive shop. I can’t believe that an ordinary woman tried to fight for a jade pendant with a rich and powerful woman…”

…..

Tong Lu could hear that the people around her were mocking her non-stop.

She tried her best to ignore them, but it was difficult for her to calm herself down. IT was not because those people were mocking her. She was drowning in self-blame. She had lost the only item her mother had left behind for her, and she did not even have the ability to get it back now that it was in front of her. Her mother who was looking at her from heaven would definitely be very disappointed in her.

The emcee, who was standing on the stage, dragged his voice out. “Does anyone else want to place a bid?”

Obviously, no one intended to.

“Twenty million going once, twenty million going twice…”

“I’ll pay 100 million!”

A deep and arrogant voice suddenly rang out in the venue. The voice was like a bomb that immediately silenced everyone in the venue. There was then a commotion.

Who? Who was this person? Were they hearing things? Is that ugly jade pendant even worth one-hundred million RMB?

The venue went into an uproar, and everyone’s voices kept getting louder and louder… Everyone looked at the source of the voice and saw a man who was emanating a domineering aura. He sauntered into the venue in a leisurely manner. He was majestic, like the dazzling sun, and everything else paled in comparison to him.

More than ten men in black walked behind him, and their expressions were as arrogant as that of their master. They were respectful as they followed him, as if they were protecting their God.

It was him…

Leng Yejin!

The new person in power of Leng Consortium.
