From rejecting the beautiful female CEO to becoming extremely powerful

Before the echo of the auction hammer had even faded, Lei Hu's round face had turned half white.

"Mr. Lei is really rich and powerful."

"1.12 billion, without even blinking an eye."

"I heard that this blood ginseng can extend one's life by ten years, it's worth it."

Lei Hu's face twitched a few times, and he let out a muffled groan as he turned to look at Lu Yunzhou.

Lu Yunzhou was leaning back in his chair, peeling off the labels from a mineral water bottle, looking as relaxed as if he had just finished watching a play that had nothing to do with him.

Their eyes met.

Lei Hu stared intently at him, his lips moved a few times, but in the end he didn't say anything, turned around and left through the side door.

The atmosphere in the hall finally relaxed.

Feng Qianyi turned her head to the side, her gaze falling on Lu Yunzhou's face for three or four seconds.

"Let's go."

She stood up and picked up her bag.

Lu Yunzhou got up, and the two of them went up the stone steps they had come from.

Pass through that narrow door and return to the lobby on the first floor.

By this time, it was already dark outside, and the chandelier was on, casting a warm yellow light on the display shelves, making the entire space seem more spacious than when we arrived.

Feng Qianyi was walking towards the door when she suddenly stopped.

Lu Yunzhou almost bumped into him. When he looked up, he saw a young man in his mid-twenties sitting on the sofa in the right-hand area of ​​the hall.

Black hoodie, gray cargo pants, and a pair of limited-edition sneakers.

Her hair was cut short and choppy, and her features were regular, but her face was full of impatience.

He was looking down at his phone when he heard footsteps and looked up.

His gaze swept over Feng Qianyi, then landed on Lu Yunzhou's face.

I paused for a second.

"Holy crap?"

The young man jumped up from the sofa, nearly dropping his phone. "Brother Lu?!"

Lu Yunzhou was also stunned.

He remembered that face.

I ran into him once last month downstairs at the apartment building. At that time, he was being led around by that woman, Wei Jiaojiao.

He casually mentioned a few details about Wei Jiaojiao, and the man's face turned green.

"It's you."

Lu Yunzhou nodded.

The young man ran over in a few steps, grabbed his arm, and his eyes lit up with excitement.

"Brother Lu, it really is you! I've been looking for you for ages! I didn't even have your number saved; I was in such a rush that day..."

Qi Yufei.

Feng Qianyi interrupted him, her tone turning cold, "Let go."

Qi Yufei then noticed that there was another person standing next to him.

He turned his head to look, and then froze.

"elder sister?"

Feng Qianyi didn't reply, but instead glanced at the two of them.

"You two know each other?"

Qi Yufei opened his mouth, but his mind was clearly not quite there yet.

"Yes...yes, Brother Lu helped me a lot last time, if it weren't for him..."

He suddenly realized something halfway through his sentence, looked at Lu Yunzhou, then at Feng Qianyi, his voice catching in his throat, "Sister, you and Brother Lu..."

"He is my husband."

Feng Qianyi spoke these words very calmly, but every word was clear.

Qi Yufei's expression shifted from shock to bewilderment, finally settling on a face that screamed, "Did I hear that right?"

"Husband...?"

He stammered and repeated, "Sis, when did you get married? How come I didn't hear a thing?"

You will know when the time is right.

Feng Qianyi walked past him toward the door.

Qi Yufei snapped out of his daze and immediately followed.

"No, sis, this is so sudden! My brother-in-law..."

He paused here, then turned to look at Lu Yunzhou, his eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions. "Brother Lu, no, brother-in-law?"

Lu Yunzhou chuckled.

"Just call it whichever sounds best."

Qi Yufei scratched his hair, looking like he had indigestion.

The three of them walked out the door, and a night breeze blew by, carrying the coolness of early autumn.

Feng Qianyi stopped on the steps and turned to look at Qi Yufei.

What are you doing here?

"I……"

Qi Yufei's lips moved slightly, his gaze drifting to the side. "Just browsing around."

Feng Qianyi stared at him for three seconds.

"to be honest."

Qi Yufei shrank his neck and lowered his head.

"I want to buy something."

"What should I buy?"

"Pick a bracelet for my mom."

Qi Yufei said vaguely, "Her birthday is coming up soon."

Feng Qianyi did not respond immediately.

Lu Yunzhou stood to the side, listening to the conversation, and then glanced at Qi Yufei's evasive eyes.

This kid is lying.

Moreover, his lies were particularly poorly told.

Feng Qianyi clearly saw through it, but she didn't call her out on it. She simply asked, "Can you afford everything here?"

Qi Yufei choked for a moment, his face turning slightly red.

"Well... I'll just look, is it okay if I don't buy anything?"

Feng Qianyi didn't ask any further questions and turned to Lu Yunzhou.

"The old lady is being discharged from the hospital today. Are you going empty-handed?"

Lu Yunzhou was stunned for a second.

"What does President Feng mean?"

"You'll have to pay for the gift yourself."

Feng Qianyi said matter-of-factly, "Don't expect me to reimburse you."

Lu Yunzhou's lips twitched.

He currently has about 500,000 yuan in his pocket. He hasn't even had a chance to enjoy the money Shen Luoyan lent him yet, and now he needs to buy a presentable birthday gift...

Qi Yufei chimed in from the side.

"Sis, you're being too stingy! It's your husband's first time meeting Grandma, you should at least offer some support."

Feng Qianyi glanced at him.

"You're going to pay for it?"

Qi Yufei immediately shut up.

"Well," he chuckled sheepishly, "I was just saying. By the way, there's a jade and antique street nearby, they have everything, and the prices are reasonable. How about we try our luck there?"

Feng Qianyi did not object.

Lu Yunzhou looked at Qi Yufei, then at Feng Qianyi, and nodded.

"Okay, let's go take a look."

The three of them went down the steps, with Qi Yufei running ahead to lead the way.

Lu Yunzhou walked side by side with Feng Qianyi and asked in a low voice, "Your cousin... is acting a bit strange."

Feng Qianyi turned her head to look at him.

"You figured it out?"

"It was hidden too obviously."

Lu Yunzhou said, "When he said 'buy his mother a bracelet' just now, his eyes were practically floating to the sky."

Feng Qianyi withdrew her gaze, her tone becoming indifferent.

"He was spoiled by his family since he was a child and has never experienced hardship. He had a falling out with his family recently and is now out there doing something, but I don't know exactly what he's doing."

Lu Yunzhou didn't ask any more questions.

The three of them crossed two streets and turned into a brightly lit commercial district.

The streets are lined with jade and jewelry shops, each with an eye-catching signboard and displaying jade of various grades in their windows.

Qi Yufei walked quickly ahead, turning back every now and then to urge him on.

"Sis, brother-in-law, hurry up!"

Feng Qianyi frowned.

"Rash and irritable."

Lu Yunzhou didn't reply, his gaze fixed on Qi Yufei's back.

This kid has a weird way of walking.

His right shoulder slumped slightly, and his steps were unsteady, as if he was deliberately trying to hide something.

He squinted and noted down this detail.

Qi Yufei stopped in front of a shop, turned around and waved to the two of them.

"This is the place! Lots of stuff, and the owner is reliable!"

The signboard has three large, gold-plated characters: Jufuxuan.
