Chapter 15 -15: Good Girl, Your Big Brother is Here for You Now

“What should I do, Mom… Big brother seems angry.”

Lu Qianrou immediately turned her eyes to Jiang Ting, looking like she was about to cry.

“I know.” Jiang Ting took a deep breath, her eyebrows furrowed.

She knew her sons’ temperaments too well, especially Lu Jingyan.

Since Lu Jingyan took over Lu Group, his personality became more assertive externally, but he’d always been protective toward family members.

His performance just now, including his words, clearly showed that he already regarded Lu Sheng as part of the Lu Family.

What kind of love potion had that little wretch used to gain the protection of her usually distrusting eldest son in such a short time?

Jiang Ting felt an oppressive block in her chest and extreme irritation in her heart.

“Don’t worry about your big brother for now. How are you feeling? Is your heart still bothering you?” Jiang Ting asked Lu Qianrou.

Lu Qianrou was actually fine.

She just couldn’t stand seeing Lu Jingyan’s eyes only on Lu Sheng and wanted to spend some time alone with him in the car, to enjoy the feeling of being cared for by her big brother.

Now that Lu Jingyan had left, there was no need for her to pretend anymore.

But since she had claimed to have heart discomfort, she couldn’t just suddenly be fine, so she could only cover her chest again and pretend to be in pain: “It’s still a bit…”

“Then I’ll have the driver take you back to the Lu Family first.” ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

“What?” Lu Qianrou was stunned and didn’t expect Jiang Ting to say that.

Mom, big brother, and that Lu Sheng were all at the banquet, but she was supposed to go back to the Lu Family alone? How could that be acceptable!

Lu Qianrou hurriedly said, “Uh, it’s nothing, Mom. I just need to rest in the car for a while and, besides…”

“You child, why can’t you prioritize? What if it’s really a recurrence of myocarditis?”

“Later, I have to see Grandpa Fu to discuss Lu Sheng’s matter; I can’t leave right now, so you go ahead and return first.”

Jiang Ting’s tone was undeniable, “I’ll call Doctor Lin right now and ask him to go to our house; you can have him examine you when you get back.”

“But…”

Lu Qianrou opened her mouth, finally understanding the meaning of shooting herself in the foot.

She had put so much effort into her makeup and outfit today, making herself so beautiful—was she really going to show her face for five minutes and then return to the Lu Family?

But she couldn’t now tell Jiang Ting she was fine, as that would be tantamount to admitting that her discomfort was all an act.

“…I understand, Mom. I’ll go back now,” Lu Qianrou had to accept with unspeakable suffering, “But about Lu Sheng and Grandpa Fu…”

“Don’t worry,” Jiang Ting snorted coldly, “Mom will never let that wretch’s child replace you in marrying into a wealthy family like the Fu Family. Just go home and wait for news.”

[Auction Venue]

When Lu Jingyan and Lu Sheng returned to the venue, the auction had already started.

Many guests were seated, each holding a bidder paddle, with some having attendants brought along to follow the auction.

Lu Jingyan also received his own paddle from the server and had Lu Sheng sit beside him.

“Lu Sheng, about what just happened…”

“I’m alright, big brother.”

Before Lu Jingyan could finish, Lu Sheng took his hand and said gently, “Thank you for defending me, big brother, I really am touched.”

However, it was said that a big shot—whose identity wasn’t well known—after meeting Meng Lin and hearing her vision, offered her five million as starting capital on the spot, encouraging her to go for it, and that if she needed more money, she could just ask for it.

Three years later, the nation’s first B2B e-commerce platform emerged, radically changing the way people shopped, and Meng Lin’s founded Bailin Group soared as a leading corporation in the country.

However, as the founder, Meng Lin was not the largest shareholder of Bailin Group. It was rumored that the real largest shareholder was that mysterious benefactor.

This was reasonable.

With the increasingly glorious Bailin Group, everyone admired how that big shot had a unique eye for recognizing Meng Lin’s potential.

Not to mention that big shot had set an agreement with Meng Lin; even if he hadn’t asked for the highest shareholding, Meng Lin would never shortchange him.

After all, a steed often found, but a Bole are found then; a good steed in the stables still needs a Bole to be recognized.

Anyone would be willing to bet five million on your success, and they would bust a gut to prove themselves and remember this kindness for life.

Lu Sheng actually had no plans to contact Meng Lin.

The Demon Hunter was still searching for her trail, and traces related to Bai Qiang should ideally be minimized.

However, in the next second, Lu Sheng saw the item just brought onto the stage and her eyes immediately brightened.

“Ladies and gentlemen—” the auctioneer presented the red brocade box in his hands, “The item I am holding now is a twenty-year-old Red Ginseng.”

“As many of you are aware, Red Ginseng is considered a Miracle cure for blood circulation and dispelling blood stasis.”

“It’s rare to see Red Ginseng aged over five years, and those over twenty years are even rarer.”

“This item has been donated by Bai Wei, the second daughter of the Bai Family. The starting bid is two million, and we can now begin the bidding.”

… Bai Wei of the Bai Family?

Upon hearing this, many people under the stage began to murmur among themselves.
