Rebirth from the Ashes-Chapter 743 - You’re My Father’s Mistress?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The girl who bade 200 million was gorgeous and magnificent, to say the least. She seemed to be in her twenties. The crowd wondered who she was as they had never seen her at high-profile events in the capital.
Everyone stood by and watched. There were many families in a vast territory like China. It was a possibility that she was some heiress who was not a fan of socializing or making public appearances.
The Fu family’s long-lost daughter was about that age. It was said that she had the face of an angel, but she was never seen in public. If it was her, they would be playing with fire to voice out at a time like this.
“Did you run a capital verification on her before letting her in? Is she qualified??” Lu Meng scoffed coldly. “Does Treasure Trove allow any riff-raff into the place?”
Color washed off the auctioneer’s face as he solemnly stared at Lu Meng. “We’ll perform capital checks on everyone here. This lady is well qualified.”
Treasure Trove was not accessible to the general public. Those with assets worth less than 10 billion were not allowed in unless they were guests specially invited.
“She doesn’t have a penny to her name. I demand a live capital verification.” Lu Meng blurted feverishly.
The Lu family’s whole assets put together was only 100 million yuan. Why would Lu Li, that b*tch, brazenly return to the Lu family if she had 10 billion?
Lu Meng was shouting like a coarse woman talking smack in the streets. However, the middle-aged man beside her seemed pleased. Standing up, he turned his nose up and arrogantly said, “I’m sure Treasure Trove
doesn’t want to lose the snow lotus for nothing. She’s Lu Li, the daughter of the Lu family and my wife’s younger sister. She can’t fork out that kind of money even if she sells off the whole family.”
Although Lu Meng was offended by the statement, she said nothing. To be honest, she had no comeback as the Lu family had been slipping.
Otherwise, she, as the young lady of the Lu family, would not stoop so low to become the mistress of an old geezer like Chen Qiang. The Lu family could not satisfy her luxurious needs. Lu Meng had to plead with her
grandmother just to buy a handbag which cost several hundred thousand yuan.
Besides, the Lu family business hit a snag with the supply chain recently. It was Chen Qiang who took care of the problem. Without a word, he invested 20 million.
Chen Qiang might not be cultured, but he was wealthy and generous enough to splurge on her. Her family was now buttering up to Lu Meng because she was the savior of the family. Lu Li, the b*tch, had nothing on
her.
o one at the auction house knew Lu Li, but there were people who recognized Chen Qiang. He was a giant in real estate with personal assets worth 100 billion yuan. Of course, the crowd was leaning toward the man
who was among China’s richest twenty.
Looking at Shen Xi, Situ Zhangyou inquired intriguingly. “Aren’t you going to help?”
That was Fu Qingli’s wife, the young missus’ sister-in-law. The young missus was watching the scene with great gusto while Fu Qingli’s partner remained rather detached in the whole matter.
Lu Li was the daughter of the Lu family.
Situ Zhangyou was familiar with the Lu family, and like what the woman said, they were an insignificant family with an estate valued at 100 million. Selling the entire Lu family would not be enough to buy the snow
lotus.
Sitting at the front, Lu Ning turned pale in the face. He glanced at Lu Li and then at Lu Meng, not knowing whether he should speak up.
They were both his cousins. Trouble brewed within the Lu family, especially among his second uncle’s family, albeit they never aired their dirty laundry. For Lu Meng to slander Lu Li in public, even at the risk of
disgracing the Lu family, what good would it do for her?
“Verify my capital.” Lu Li fished out a centurion credit card and handed it to one of the security attendants.
It was obvious that Lu Meng did not expect Lu Li to go through with the check. The smugness in her eyes turned into suspicion when Lu Li took out a bank card. Lu Meng did not believe Lu Li had the money, but Lu Li
seemed undaunted and even allowed a capital verification. Lu Meng had to rethink all this.
With a frown, Chen Qiang gave Lu Meng the look to ask what was going on. Things could turn ugly if Lu Li really had the money.
“Mr. Chen, is it?” Lu Li turned to the middle-aged man next to Lu Meng. “Judging by the dark cloud over your forehead and glossy eyes, you’re about to land yourself in hot water.”
“We have verified that the young lady’s capital qualifies her to be here.” The auctioneer on stage announced the result of the verification.
Holding the centurion bank card in hand, an attendant was respectfully walking past Chen Qiang while getting to Lu Li when Chen Qiang yelled, “The card! That’s my father’s centurion card!”
He recognized the logo on the card. It was his father’s. Well, his father-in-law.
The dirty old man had no shame. He and his d*mn daughter watched Chen Qiang like a hawk every day. Chen Qiang would be intimidated and beaten up if he cheated in any way. He could not even enjoy the simple
pleasures of a man.
His father-in-law had Chen Qiang on a leash, yet he himself was having an affair with a young girl.
The attendant stopped in his tracks.
“So, you’re my father’s mistress? The kids you gave birth to are my father’s love children?” Beyond shock, Chen Qiang turned blue in the face.
All hell broke loose at that point.
With the dirty old man and his daughter soon to kick the bucket, the Shen family, his in-laws, would be his to keep.
The dirty geezer had double standards. There was nothing holding Chen Qiang back now.
“Your father wouldn’t even talk to me like that.” Lu Li remained poker-faced, but her eyes turned cold as she shot a look at him,
Situ Zhangyou looked at Shen Xi once more.
Shen Xi’s facial muscles stiffened as she gazed at Chen Qiang without hiding the murderous intent in her eyes. That was crossing the line. Why were all the dirty geezers in the world named the father of the children?
Although she did not care for Fu Qingli, she should uphold the Fu family’s dignity. Besides, she did not dislike Lu Li and the two adorable kids.
“So you’re saying that your b*stards are not my father’s children? Why did he give you the centurion card then? Chen Qiang got in Lu Li’s face.
The old fool was foolish to leave an important thing like the centurion bank card to someone else.
Lu Li was still without a word.
Shen Xi got up and looked at Chen Qiang. “You should be held accountable for slandering and throwing mud without proof.”
Amid a fit of anger, Chen Qiang was surprised that someone came at him. He furiously turned to Shen Xi, “Who are you? Who are you to stand up for her?”
She was not sitting on a good seat because the seats were assigned according to personal wealth. Those seated in the back had less compared to everyone here while those specially invited were not subjected to the
capital verification..
