FMLRWS Chapter 285

When the price was called out at 8 million, Leng Minhang suddenly raised his sign and bid “9 million”.

Luo Xi was surprised to see him, but then remembered that there was Old Man Leng in his family, so it wasn’t that unexpected.

At 8 million, there were already very few people bidding, with only one or two desperately hanging on. But Leng Minhang’s bid silenced everyone.

“9 million once, 9 million twice, 9 million three times!” After the third call, no one else bid, and the painting was quickly carried over to Leng Minhang.

“Grandpa really loves collecting these paintings. If he knew that you, cousin, got this one for him at a high price, he’ll be very happy!” Lin Xuan said with a smile.

Leng Minhang didn’t look at her, just gave a slight wave of his hand. Xiao Hei appeared from nowhere to take the painting away.

Several more items passed without catching Luo Xi’s interest, until a palm-sized thousand-year-old blood jade appeared, instantly drawing her gaze.

The man had always noticed that she was not in a good mood, so this sudden change in her expression did not escape his eye. He asked casually, “Do you like it?”

Luo Xi turned to look at him and nodded firmly.

That was the first gift he gave her in her previous life, how could she not like it?

Seeing this, the eyes of Lin Xuan at the side flashed, and she coyly asked Leng Minhang: “Cousin, that jade is so beautiful, could you give it to me?”

Leng Minhang furrowed his brow slightly. “Find another one, this one is for your sister-in-law.”

“No, no, I want this one! Mommy, please tell my cousin to give it to me?” Lin Xuan immediately became displeased and quickly asked help from her mother.

“This…” Leng Youran was always eager to fulfill her daughter’s requests, but now she was at a loss. After all, her nephew had already said he wanted to give it to Luo Xi.

“Sister-in-law, there are so many good things. You can’t just snatch this one from me, right?” Seeing that her mother had the same expression, Lin Xuan quickly turned her gaze to Luo Xi and spoke firmly.

Who’s the one trying to snatch it?

Luo Xi was so angry that she laughed: “What do you mean by snatching? You have the right to like it, but doesn’t that mean I have the right to like it too?”

“But you’re my sister-in-law, so you should give it to me!” Lin Xuan looked at her dissatisfiedly, seeming quite righteous.

“Oh? Then why don’t you say that since you’re older, I should give it to you?” Luo Xi sneered.

“Now, Xixi, since Xuanxuan likes it so much, why don’t you just let her have it? In the future, if Aunt finds anything good, I’ll be sure to show it to you first. How about that?” Leng Youran saw that Luo Xi had no intention of giving in, and she felt a bit dissatisfied in her heart. Her smile turned a little cold as she spoke.

Luo Xi was silent for two seconds. “I’m sorry, but I really can’t give this to you.”

A flash of slight anger crossed Leng Youran’s face.

She didn’t expect Luo Xi to not even give her this face!

“Mommy, you see how unreasonable she is? She doesn’t even care about you at all! Last time, she snatched the limited edition dress you wanted, and now she’s snatching the blood jade from your own daughter. She’s just too much!” Lin Xuan added fuel to the fire, seeing that her mother was also getting a little angry.

Leng Youran’s expression grew colder. That dress she had planned to buy and collect, but it was snatched away before she could even buy it. Later, she heard it was on Luo Xi. She already felt a bit uncomfortable about that.

But back then, Luo Xi didn’t know her, so it wasn’t a matter of her snatching it. But now, she was actually fighting with her own daughter for this jade! This was just too forceful.

After all, she was still young and didn’t understand the ways of the world.
