Chapter 17 -17: Think You Can PUA Her? No Way!

Lu Sheng was holding her phone and continued texting Meng Lin: [I wanted to stop you, but you were bidding too fast.]

[it’s okay though, since the money from the auction will be donated. This $15 million will also be doing good.]

While Lu Sheng was chatting with Meng Lin, Tang Yiyi suddenly glanced over, her face filled with astonishment.

“OMG… Look, isn’t that a Nokia in Lu Sheng’s hand?”

Tang Yiyi’s exclamation made everyone else look toward Lu Sheng, reacting as if they had seen a ghost.

“Indeed,” Lin Ya almost laughed out loud, “Didn’t that brand disappear a decade ago? Where did she get such an antique?”

“It’s probably only in the countryside that people still use it. That phone can only make calls and send texts; I’ve seen our housekeeper use one.”

“Such a crappy phone, probably no one would pick it up even if it was thrown on the street. It’s beyond my imagination how poor she is.”

Tang Yiyi clicked her tongue, “You know, I’m starting to feel a bit sorry for Lu Sheng now. She has the same father as Lu Qianrou, but their lives are worlds apart.”

In his seat, Lu Jingyan saw the girl beside him using an antique phone that had long been eliminated from the market, and he couldn’t help but frown.

But it wasn’t out of disdain, rather, he didn’t know what kind of life the girl had been living before she came to Jiang City, to the point where she could only afford such a phone.

“Is this your phone?” Lu Jingyan asked.

Lu Sheng was just chatting with Meng Lin and looked up to nod in response.

“Don’t use this phone anymore,” Lu Jingyan said, “Tomorrow, I’ll have You Ye accompany you to the mall to buy a new phone, and then he can help you buy some clothes, as you’ll need to go to Shengjing in a few days.”

“… Shengjing?” Lu Sheng looked at him a bit bewildered.

“Now that you’re in Jiang City, you’ll definitely be studying here. Dad contacted the principal of Shengjing a few days ago and secured an enrollment spot for you.”

“Shengjing is the best private high school in Jiang City. Qianrou, You Ming, and You Ye all attend there. But getting into Shengjing requires passing an entrance exam, and classes are assigned based on grades.”

Lu Jingyan looked at Lu Sheng, “I’ve seen your grades from the rural middle school you attended, and you were only average. It’ll be tough to handle Shengjing’s test.”

“But you don’t need to worry too much. Qianrou’s grades are good; she has always been second in the A class. School starts in three days, and I will ask her to tutor you over the next few days. I will also speak to the principal again.”

“Qianrou is second in the class?” Hearing Lu Jingyan’s words, Lu Sheng asked, “Who is number one?”

“It’s You Ming, but he’s gone abroad for a math competition and probably won’t return until after Shengjing starts.”

“I see, got it.” Lu Sheng nodded obediently, “Don’t worry, big brother, I will study hard with Qianrou.”

After chatting with Lu Jingyan, Lu Sheng turned her attention back to the auction stage.

Tonight’s auction was almost over, with only the last item remaining.

Following the top bid of $15 million for the Red ginseng, only the top-quality Jade Bracelet donated by Li Muchen had also reached over $10 million, while the rest of the items were mostly in the hundreds of thousands.

Everyone thought the last item would be some kind of showstopping treasure, but to their surprise, when the host lifted the red cloth, the tray only held an ordinary Luminous Pearl.

Although the pearl’s quality was not bad, the rich and powerful in attendance were accustomed to seeing rare treasures and therefore showed little interest in such an item.

Among the crowd, only Lu Sheng kept her eyes on the pearl.

It wasn’t because the Luminous Pearl was anything special, but rather, Lu Sheng was thinking of Black Bean, who loved playing with shiny things like this.

The starting bid was $100,000, which was virtually a giveaway compared to the earlier items. Still, after thinking it over, Lu Sheng reluctantly withdrew her gaze.

Never mind the money, she didn’t even have the qualifications to bid now.

Several people bid one after another, stopping at $300,000.

But the next second, Chen An’s voice rang out from behind: “$1 million.”
