Chapter 461: The token of love between Lu Mingzhu and Fu Yunchuan?
Feeling the gazes of those around her, Nanxing's eyes held a hint of helplessness. She turned her head closer to Old Madam Fu and whispered,
"Grandma, you just brought me here to sit without any regard for the consequences. Who knows what other people will think?"
Compared to Nanxing's helplessness, the old lady appeared much calmer.
"So what? Can't I, Old Madam Fu, promote a junior? Who dares to say anything? Just sit here peacefully. Even if we can't acknowledge each other, I will let people know that you are different in my eyes. I will never let anyone look down on you."
Nanxing was slightly taken aback, feeling both warm and bittersweet.
It turns out that Grandma was paving the way for her.
"grandmother……"
"Don't cry. You're a grown woman now. If you keep crying, people will laugh at you." The old lady patted her hand.
“I know you don’t need these things right now, or rather, I should feel at ease with the Yun family around. But having more options and more people to rely on in this circle is not a bad thing.”
"Grandma is getting old and doesn't know how much longer she can stay with you. She just wants to do what she can at this time."
"Grandma, thank you."
Thank you for being so kind to me despite not being related to me by blood. Thank you for loving me as always, and even now you're still paving the way for me.
The old lady didn't say anything more, but gently patted Nanxing's hand.
Nanxing knew there was no need to say anything more; she simply sat quietly and watched the fashion show on stage.
Fu Yunchuan and Nan Xing were both sitting in the first row. His attention was always on Nan Xing, and his eyes never fell on the stage in front of him.
Gu Yihe sat down next to him, kicked him lightly with his toe, and whispered,
"Can you be a little more discreet? Nobody can see your face anymore. Are you trying to get everyone's attention by making her the center of attention?"
Only they themselves know the true nature of these so-called "others."
Fu Yunchuan's eyes flickered slightly before he finally looked away, his indifferent gaze falling on the runway, devoid of joy or sorrow, even somewhat unfocused, clearly indicating that his attention was not truly on the stage.
Gu Yihe clicked his tongue inwardly, having nothing to say about Fu Yunchuan's actions.
Although it's a bit frustrating, I can understand it.
He turned around and looked directly at Feng Jiejie.
However, Feng Jiejie was completely focused on the fashion show and didn't look in his direction at all.
He sat up straight with a self-deprecating laugh. He had been so calm when he talked about Fu Yunchuan, but now he was just as calm.
The standout performers at this year's show were the same few people as in previous years, with the only dark horse being Xingchen.
This company, which has only emerged in the last two years, has given everyone a shock and made them no longer dare to underestimate it.
However, some people dismiss this, seeing it as nothing more than a company run by two women. What could they possibly achieve? Who knows what methods they used?
This world is always very harsh on women. Even now, despite seeing Nanxing and Feng Jiejie's hard work and achievements, they still feel that the two women must have succeeded through some means.
Next came the auction. The items that people brought out weren't particularly valuable, but they weren't cheap either.
Whether they're genuinely interested or just doing it for face and popularity, everyone's spending money. For them, spending hundreds of thousands to gain fame and popularity is something they're very willing to do.
It wasn't until Lu Mingzhu's auction items went live that the atmosphere in the room seemed to change slightly.
"Next up is Ms. Lu Mingzhu's auction item. I believe some of you here are familiar with this item, and it is also of great commemorative and special significance to Ms. Lu."
"Her choice to auction this item to fund children in mountainous areas shows what a kind and gentle heart she has."
The host's explanation came through the microphone and reached the ears of everyone present.
The camera director also switched the large screen to Lu Mingzhu's side.
Lu Mingzhu wore a polite, gentle smile, giving off a very gentle vibe. Even Nanxing could see the word "peaceful and serene" in her expression on the screen.
But on the surface, life seems peaceful and serene; who knows what's really going on inside?
Lu Mingzhu smiled gently at the camera without saying a word, since it was the host's job to speak at this time.
As for the host, she had already taken care of everything and knew exactly what to do.
"Come, let's take a look at what Miss Lu has brought out for auction. It's a light blue diamond bracelet. Do some of you ladies find this bracelet familiar?"
The host's suspenseful voice rang out again, and everyone's attention was immediately drawn to the big screen.
The clearly visible light blue bracelet is luminous and dazzling.
Nanxing was quite amazed when she first saw this bracelet, because it was indeed beautiful.
"That's right, this is the bracelet that President Fu bought at the auction ten years ago, called Heart of the Sea. It was given to Miss Lu at the time, and many ladies and young women really liked it. In the end, President Fu bought it."
“I am truly moved that Ms. Lu has put this commemorative bracelet up for auction again to give to the children in the mountains. I would also like to thank Mr. Fu and Ms. Lu on behalf of the children in the mountains.”
As soon as the host spoke, whispers and murmurs immediately broke out in the hall.
Nanxing's smile paused for a moment, then returned to normal in the next second.
Ten years ago? She hadn't gone to the Fu family yet.
Sitting behind Nanxing, Feng Jiejie glanced at her subconsciously. Although she could only see the back of Nanxing's head, it still made her feel sorry for her.
Lu Mingzhu enjoyed the compliments from those around her, but still smiled shyly.
“Although the item has sentimental value, we don’t need to commemorate it anymore. We see it all the time anyway. Why not auction it off and donate the proceeds to the poor children in the mountains? The greatest significance of this bracelet is that the money from the auction can help them have enough to eat and wear.”
Lu Mingzhu explained in a gentle voice, and the others showered her with compliments once again.
Old Mrs. Fu and Mrs. Fu both looked rather grim; they knew what Lu Mingzhu was up to.
With the appearance of this bracelet and these words, the relationship between Lu Mingzhu and Fu Yunchuan will be further intertwined.
Neither of them was happy, but neither said much, just kept their faces dark.
Nanxing is doing well now, and she has two children. They can't be bothered with Fu Yunchuan and Lu Mingzhu, as long as they don't cause trouble in front of them.
Both of them looked at Nanxing with some pity. Even if Nanxing said she didn't like Fu Yunchuan now, it would be a lie to say she wasn't sad to find out about this in this kind of situation.
Jiang Bai, sitting in the seats next to his assistants, suddenly felt dizzy.
Lu Mingzhu was indeed well-prepared.
Gu Yihe chuckled, then moved closer to Fu Yunchuan and said sarcastically,
"Tsk... What do you think Nanxing is thinking right now? Is she thinking about her ex-husband and his current girlfriend showing off their love? And it happened ten years ago, tsk... Anyone would feel bad in that situation, right?"
"No, maybe Nanxing wouldn't be sad if he didn't have you in his heart, but either way, it's not a good thing for you, is it?"
Gu Yihe was someone who loved watching the drama unfold. More importantly, he even wondered if Fu Yunchuan couldn't understand Lu Mingzhu's actions. If he didn't make a sarcastic remark, the man probably really wouldn't understand.
Fu Yunchuan's face darkened, and he went straight to look at Nanxing's reaction, but from his angle, he could only see Nanxing's profile, which showed no emotion whatsoever.
He clenched his fist loosely, even hoping to see Nanxing genuinely angry and jealous, instead of the emotionless expression she displayed now.
Gu Yihe glanced at him, and could only say that he stopped there.
Only Fu Yunchuan himself can solve this problem.
The bracelet was eventually sold at auction. Lu Mingzhu looked at Nanxing's back with a hint of pride, wanting to see Nanxing's jealousy or anger.
See? No one can compare to her. She and Fu Yunchuan share so many memories.
She could use the same methods to drive Nanxing away back then, and she can do it now too.
She never expected Nanxing to be so shameless. Back then, she really thought Nanxing was stupid, thought she was innocent, and thought she was really that aloof.
Now that I've seen it, she's clearly a scheming woman. Even though she's been gone for so many years and married and had children with another man, she still comes back to find Fu Yunchuan.
Moreover, they didn't just come back directly; they changed their identities and, together with Feng Jiejie, used tricks to keep appearing in front of Fu Yunchuan, attracting his attention.
How could someone like that not be cunning?
She really underestimated Nanxing before; she managed to seduce one or two men so successfully!
I don't know why Nanxing still won't admit his identity. Is there a bigger conspiracy, or is he trying to investigate what happened back then?
After the auction, everyone had free time, or more accurately, time to socialize.
Lu Mingzhu found a seat and sat down. He Feng was right behind her, while Lu's mother went to chat with the other ladies on her own.
Or perhaps it was other ladies who were chatting with her. Originally, after Lu Hai's admission to the mental hospital, there weren't many ladies who wanted to hang out with her anymore.
But after the bracelet auction, these people started to become very friendly with Lu's mother again.
Lu Hai is in trouble, and Fu Yunchuan has been supporting Lu Mingzhu during this time.
Especially after seeing that bracelet, they were reminded that the two of them were childhood sweethearts, and that Fu Yunchuan had always treated Lu Mingzhu differently since they were little.
It's a fact that the two wives of the Fu family don't like Lu Mingzhu, and it's also a fact that Fu Yunchuan cares about Lu Mingzhu.
The person in charge of the Fu family is Fu Yunchuan, so they naturally know what to do.
"Mingzhu, why don't you go chat with everyone?" Huang Ying walked over again with Yang Xue.
"Mingzhu, have some wine. This red wine tastes really good." Yang Xue handed another glass of red wine to Lu Mingzhu.
Lu Mingzhu glanced at the wine glass meaningfully, then reached out and took it.
"Okay, thank you, Xue'er."
"There's no need to thank me. Didn't you say we're friends?" Yang Xue's face showed a relieved smile.
Fortunately, Lu Mingzhu accepted the wine glass. Just now, some people were mocking her for trying to get on Lu Mingzhu's good side. Now, those people should take a good look. Not only did she get on Lu Mingzhu's good side, but she also got on very good terms with her.
Lu Mingzhu took a big gulp of wine and then smiled gently at Yang Xue.
"This wine is really good."
"Yes, I think it's good too."
Huang Ying: "Mingzhu, you haven't answered me yet. Why don't you go chat with everyone? Everyone is very curious about the bracelet you just auctioned off. They all want to ask you about your relationship with President Fu."
She glanced at Yang Xue without leaving a trace. This damned woman, she was the one who introduced the two of them, but now Yang Xue dares to bypass her and fawn over Lu Mingzhu. Does she even respect her?
Yang Xue didn't notice Huang Ying's gaze at all, and even if she did, she wouldn't care or would pretend not to notice.
If she can get close to Lu Mingzhu, what does she need Huang Ying for?
After seeing that Lu Mingzhu had been drinking, He Feng lowered his head and sent her a message.
"Me? Forget it, I'm a bit tired. You all know I've never been very healthy since I was little. If it weren't for Brother Yun Chuan always using such good medicinal herbs to nourish my body, I wouldn't be in this state now."
"Besides...and Grandma and Auntie are here too, I think it's better for me to sit quietly and not upset them."
"Sigh... I didn't expect that after all these years, Madam Fu and Mrs. Fu still wouldn't approve of you. Fortunately, Mr. Fu cares about you. It must have been tough for you." Huang Ying looked at her with sympathy.
Lu Mingzhu gave a wry smile. "It's okay, I'm used to it. Besides, Brother Yunchuan treats me very well, that's enough."
Huang Ying: "That's true. But Mingzhu, we have something we're curious about that we'd like to ask you again. What's the deal with that woman sitting next to Madam Fu today?"
Lu Mingzhu tightened her grip on the wine glass. Sure enough, everyone noticed the closeness between Nanxing and the old lady.
"Isn't she N from Starry Sky Company? We met at the vegetarian restaurant the other day, haven't you forgotten?"
“I know she’s N, and I haven’t forgotten. What I mean is, what’s her background? Last time she had dinner with Mrs. Fu, they were even walking hand in hand.”
"It's surprising that she's on such a good relationship with Madam Fu in this kind of setting. I'm really curious what kind of magic she has that makes the two ladies of the Fu family so close to each other. It's so difficult for us to even say a word to them."
Lu Mingzhu lowered her head, looking bitter and aggrieved on the surface, but her eyes were filled with hatred.
If she had known what kind of magic Nanxing possessed, would she have ended up like this?
Yang Xue observed Lu Mingzhu's expression and spoke.
"Yes. We're fine, after all, we're here, but you're different. Your relationship with President Fu was... well, we all feel sorry for you."
Huang Ying: "Yes, you have no idea how many people were curious just now. We were just worried about you and felt sorry for you, so we wanted to ask you and show our concern. Please don't be angry."
Lu Mingzhu looked up, forced a smile at the two of them, and said,
"Don't worry, why would I be angry with you? Of course I know you're worried about me. As for her identity... I really don't know how to explain it."
