Ren Ying has always been around Huo Dongheng and has a lot of knowledge about Binhai's business circle.
"That thing is just for ordinary people to watch the fun. You really take it seriously." Huo Dongheng said, "Who among the real rich people cares about such sensational things? You don't know that he also
It's normal. Most of the people who know him in Binhai are old guys. He studied abroad in his early years. In the past few years, he has been following ships in the waters of Europe and Southeast Asia. Now that the business is going well, he has stopped showing up. The Qiu family
It's one of the best families in Binhai, but compared with his family..." Huo Dongheng chuckled lightly, "You're not even qualified to carry someone's shoes."
The Qiu family's business only started in Qiu Chengjia's generation. Although the construction business is very profitable, it cannot be compared with the Luo family, which has been rooted in shipping for generations. Although the profits of shipping are not too high on the surface, there are
The twists and turns are beyond the imagination of outsiders. The Luo family has access to the world and has always been cautious and low-key, hiding in the dark and secretly making a lot of money.
Even Huo Dongheng said this about him, and Ren Ying couldn't help but give up her provocation. She threw the auction sign on the empty chair next to her, "Is it a big deal to be rich? Spending such a big price to buy something like that is just an idiot.
.”
Although she failed to take the black pearl back, Ren Ying's purpose was not that. She just wanted to embarrass Qiu Bailu, so she sat back in a good mood.
But she didn't expect that her good mood could only last so short.
The auction is coming to an end, and all the successful buyers are going to make payments one after another, and those who didn't get something don't think their trip was in vain. Qiu Bailu, Huo Dongheng, and Luo Yan, who came out halfway, are fighting for the black pearl.
The price will become a hot topic of conversation among them for some time to come.
However, Luo Yan seemed to be still dissatisfied with this effect.
His assistant handed over the check and trotted back immediately after getting the pearl. Luo Yan took the things, stretched out his long legs, and soon arrived at Qiu Bailu who was about to leave.
Qiu Bailu looked at Luo Yan who was blocking her way, confused.
Luo Yan smiled. Although his face was not pretty and a bit pale, his eyes were extremely bright, as if he had picked the brightest stars in the sky and hid them in them.
He stretched out his hand, grabbed Qiu Bailu's palm, and turned it over. Qiu Bailu felt her hand sink, and the brocade box containing black pearls fell into her palm.
Qiu Bailu's eyes widened, as if she couldn't understand what Luo Yan did. Luo Yan closed her palms and whispered to her, "Even if your mother's favorite thing was alive, you should keep it well and not let it go."
Living abroad, if your mother has a spirit in the sky, she will definitely want it to accompany you."
His attitude was gentle and gentle, without the slightest hint of superiority to others. There was only love and care for Qiu Bailu in his expression, and there was no sense of superiority that the donor usually had.
Qiu Bailu felt as if she had grabbed a handful of hot coals in her hand. She quickly pushed the box out, "No, I can't have it!"
"Why not? Because it's too expensive? Xiaolu, for me, money is just the accumulation of numbers. More is not much, less is not much, it is no different to me. But if I can use it for something useful,
Places can allow you to get what you want, and it can be regarded as allowing them to play their due role." He said it so easily, as if he really didn't take the ten million in his eyes. But Qiu Bailu's attitude was also extremely determined.
, "If you do nothing without taking bribes, this money may be nothing to you, but I can't afford it."
She had some money, but that money was prepared for more important moments in the future, and she didn't want to spend all her money now.
"Xiao Lu, you are out of touch when you say these things. I don't want to give you something in return. On the contrary, I am repaying your kindness." Facing Qiu Bailu's puzzled gaze, Luo Yan continued,
"My health has never been very good. There were a lot of disputes when the family chose the heir. Later, it was your father and several elderly people who came forward as guarantees, so that I could take over the business in Southeast Asia. Now that Uncle Qiu is gone, what do you mean?
, should I thank you?"
Qiu Bailu didn't know these things, and she couldn't tell whether Luo Yan's words were true or false. But seeing the calm and soft light in his eyes, Qiu Bailu's strong wrist softened unconsciously, "Then I will definitely return it in the future...
Your money."
Luo Yan did not refuse and said softly, "Okay, I'll wait."
There were some future and departing auctioneers around them. Seeing Luo Yan carelessly giving the items he had bought at a sky-high price to Qiu Bailu, some people couldn't help but take a breath of air.
Ren Ying and Huo Dongheng stood behind the crowd. Ren Ying raised the corner of her mouth and said, "Did you see that she hasn't divorced you yet, and you already have so many cuckolds on your head. You would never guess that she is like that
People with means usually think it is a white lotus."
Huo Dongheng also saw that scene, but he was more disdainful than Ren Ying, and his eyes were more profound. When did she have friendship with Luo Yan? Qin Zhen is enough to give people a headache, plus Luo Yan...
...It seems like I should really get to know Qiu Bailu again...
Although he had many questions in his mind, he didn't hesitate for a moment when he passed by Qiu Bailu, and Qiu Bailu didn't look at him. They were like two strangers, passing each other without even making eye contact.
.
There is a bank outside the auction venue.
Qiu Bailu left the auction house with the brocade box in her heart and went directly to the bank to rent a safe. When she left the bank, she discovered that Qin Zhen, who was waiting outside the door, had gone somewhere.
Qiu Bailu stood at the intersection and looked out, and saw Qin Zhen's running figure from a distance. She chased and ran for a while, and finally caught up with Qin Zhen.
"Xiao Guozi, why didn't you wait for me? You..." Qiu Bailu followed Qin Zhen. Qin Zhen suddenly turned around, and Qiu Bailu was caught off guard and ran into his arms.
Looking up again, Qin Zhen's eyes as black as obsidian broke into Qiu Bailu's eyes.
His eyes were full of shame and discomfort, which were completely different from his usual free and uninhibited look. His eyes were so bright that they seemed to be on fire, which made Qiu Bailu panic.
Qiu Bailu felt that Qin Zhen was angry, but she didn't know why he was angry. She said tentatively, "Xiao Guozi, are you unhappy?"
Of course he is not happy! How could he be happy? It’s strange that he can be happy when he sees something that the person he likes likes being bought by someone else and then given to him personally!
This damn Luo Yan, how much money does he have? Is it that big of a deal? Just look at him and he deserves a beating!
"Little Guozi..." Qin Zhen didn't speak. Qiu Bailu felt like she was holding fifteen buckets of water. She was confused. She didn't know what she had done wrong, so she timidly stretched out her hand and wanted to try.
The temperature of Qin Zhen’s forehead.
Qin Zhen grabbed her hand angrily, "I don't like him touching you!"
It turns out... it was for this matter...
Qiu Bailu smiled bitterly, "I don't like it either, but I can't be too disrespectful to him. After all, he just gave me such a big gift."
"That's not okay!" Qin Zhen grabbed Qiu Bailu's hand and said to her word by word, "This pig's trotter is mine! Mine! It belongs to my old Qin family!"
He was like an unreasonable young man, entangled with Qiu Bailu endlessly over trivial matters. He was not at all as heroic as he was when he was on a mission. Qiu Bailu looked at his serious look and found it funny and sad at the same time.
If Qin Zhen hadn't been by her side, she really didn't know how she would have survived these days. He had been trying hard to make her laugh, and he didn't care even if he made a fool of himself. She knew that he was good to her, and maybe no one would treat her right again in the future.
She was so good that she couldn't bear to let go.
She could never repay his kindness to her. She had already caused him so much trouble, and she could not delay him any longer.
Qiu Bailu thought of what Yu Bin said to her, and the smile on her face slowly faded. She pulled her hand out forcefully, and in Qin Zhen's surprised eyes, she whispered, "This is mine. It's not anyone else's."
It's my own."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and wanted to leave. Qin Zhen felt her alienation and panicked in his heart.
He took two steps forward, opened his arms and hugged her tightly, not allowing her to escape from him. Qin Zhen buried his head in Qiu Bailu's long hair, "Xiaobai, don't go, don't resist me. I only say some things once, you listen.
good."
Perhaps feeling a little uneasy about what he was about to say, Qin Zhen took a deep breath. In fact, he should have said these words to her a long time ago, but he was too busy and thought she was too young, so he never said them.
It wasn't until he learned that she was really going to get married that he realized that the little girl he had been taking care of and who was living under his wings had grown up long ago.
She married Huo Dongheng. If she could always be happy, then he would never say these words in his life. But that bastard, he has the most precious treasure in the world, but he doesn't know how to cherish it!
After calming down the excitement in his heart, Qin Zhen said word by word in Qiu Bailu's ears, "Xiaobai, I like you. You may think that I am just joking when I say this to you, but I solemnly tell you that I am serious.
No matter what you think, I, Qin Zhen, only have you in my heart. No matter whether you are married or not, or whether you fall in love with someone else, my feelings for you will not change. Xiaobai, I want to ask you...
What do you think of me?"
After living for more than twenty years, this was the first time someone confessed to her in such a serious way. Qiu Bailu felt sad and happy at times. Her fingers were slightly curled, as if she was ready to grab something, but she had no confidence.
She couldn't bear to part with the warm man behind her, but Yu Bin's words lingered in her ears, and the painful feeling leaked out from the bottom of her heart bit by bit, slowly surrounding her broken heart and drowning her.
How cruel a person must be to put himself to death, personally hurt those who treat him sincerely, and push them far away.
She is so disabled that she is destined not to have a happy ending.
