Chapter 66
In another, unlit private room, Lu Heng clearly saw Gu Chen have the waiter take away the unopened bottle of wine next to him.
At first, he thought Gu Chen wanted to return the wine.
But this didn’t fit Gu Chen’s personality. Gu Chen, once he ordered something, even if he didn’t want it, he wouldn’t return it.
Only when he saw the waiter take the bottle of wine to number 56 did he realize that the wine was a gift for An Le.
Lu Heng frowned, took out his phone and called An Le…
“No.”
An Le shook his head, “We don’t know the person you’re talking about, no.”
You can’t accept things from strangers, this is something even a child understands. An Le didn’t understand why the waiter kept giving it to them.
Because the auction was still going on, they couldn’t refuse too loudly.
And An Le’s phone was on silent, so he didn’t receive Lu Heng’s call.
Finally, Li Jie couldn’t stand it anymore. He reached out, snatched the wine, took a look, and said indifferently, “Good wine! Since the other party wants to give it to you, just accept it. If you don’t want it, give it to me.”
Li Jie: “Besides, you don’t know who he is, you don’t know whose favor you owe, so you don’t need to repay it, and you don’t need to feel embarrassed.”
Xiao Xiao nodded, “I think he’s right.”
An Le had no choice but to nod in agreement. There was no way to refuse; Li Jie had taken the bottle of wine, and the waiter disappeared like the wind.
Seeing his wine in someone else’s hands, Gu Chen’s expression was unhappy, but ultimately he didn’t say anything.
Without any interruptions, An Le and Xiao Xiao were overjoyed. The sapphire earrings were finally bought by them for 3.96 million yuan.
The items after that were much cheaper than the sapphires, but they were still very expensive for the two of them. When Xiao Xiao saw an item come up, he asked An Le, “Do you like this?”
Whenever An Le said he liked something, Xiao Xiao would excitedly bid with him.
Finally, the auctioneer laughed, “These two gentlemen, you’ve already bought a lot of things today. Do you need to bid anymore?”
Because An Le and Xiao Xiao looked relatively young, they were not only worried whether the two of them had brought enough money, but also worried that if other guests couldn’t buy anything, they would feel uncomfortable.
An Le didn’t dare to speak, his face even turned red. Xiao Xiao said, “Yes!”
The auctioneer didn’t say anything else, but continued with a smile, secretly winking at the security guards in the venue, asking them to pay more attention to these three people, lest they skipped payment.
After the auction, someone immediately found An Le and the others, leading them to collect and pay for their purchases.
Li Jie and Xiao Xiao stood behind An Le, escorting him the whole time.
After paying, the staff personally delivered the items to their car.
Closing the car door, An Le first swiped 20,000 yuan from his pre-prepared card reader for Li Jie’s wages, and then looked at the collection with Xiao Xiao.
They bought a total of five items: a pair of sapphire earrings, a jade ring, an ancient painting, an antique vase, and a celebrity autograph worth 30 million yuan.
A total of over 70 million yuan.
While An Le and Xiao Xiao were happily looking at the gems and antiques, An Qiang’s hands were shaking with anger.
He gave An Le the card and let him spend as he pleased, but he didn’t expect An Le to spend so much, over 70 million yuan in less than a day.
“This little beast!”
He shouldn’t have been so kind; as soon as he was kind, An Le became arrogant. 70 million yuan…
An Qiang was in unbearable pain.
Luo Ping didn’t know what he was doing, she leaned over to take a look, and found that An Qiang had spent over 70 million yuan today, curiously asking, “Husband, what did you buy today? Why did you spend so much money?”
An Qiang took a deep breath and said, “That little rascal spent it!”
He had all the invoices for what those things were, because those things were far from worth 70 million yuan, it was all due to An Le and Xiao Xiao constantly increasing the bids.
But the payment was made under An Qiang’s name, so the auction house staff were afraid that An Qiang would go back on his word, and specially called An Qiang, politely and distantly explaining their auction house rules.
Since he had already bought them, An Qiang couldn’t do such a disgraceful thing.
It’s fine for the gems and antiques, although they weren’t worth that price, at least they had a name.
But an autograph costing 30 million yuan, what kind of thing is that?
This is specifically designed to scam fools, right?
Only a fool like An Le would buy an autograph.
When An Le returned home, he was still very happy. Li Jie helped him carry the antiques and gems, and he held a framed autograph and came to An Qiang.
He smiled shyly, taking a deep breath to prevent himself from stuttering out of fear, deliberately making his voice sweet and soft, “Dad, I went to an auction today, and I saw an autograph of a calligrapher that was particularly beautiful, so I bought it for you.”
Then, he placed the autograph in front of An Qiang.
An Qiang’s chest heaved with anger, but because of that person and Lu Heng, he couldn’t get angry, so he could only forcibly endure it.
But no matter how much he endured, he couldn’t tolerate this autograph. Just as he was about to scold An Le.
An Le smiled and said, “Dad, you don’t have to thank me, this is what Le Le should do, after all, Le Le is your son.”
After saying this, An Le ran to Li Jie like the wind and went upstairs with Li Jie.
An Qiang was so angry that he wanted to smash the autograph frame, but thinking that smashing it would mean smashing 30 million yuan, he forcibly held back.
He kept calming himself down, and turned to call his friends who liked calligraphy, saying that he had a rare autograph, asking if they wanted it?
After calling around, the other party initially wanted it, but when they heard it cost over 30 million yuan, they immediately gave up.
Those who knew how to talk said they weren’t very interested, those who didn’t know how to talk directly said that only a fool would buy it.
But he couldn’t say that it was An Le who bought it, so the reputation of being a fool fell on An Qiang’s head.
An Qiang was almost furious to the point of vomiting blood.
Although Luo Ping was also unhappy that An Le spent so much money, she had suffered a lot of grievances recently, and An Qiang kept protecting that little mistress. This time, let An Qiang taste the bitterness in her heart.
She suppressed her laughter, snuggled into An Qiang’s arms, and said with a pained expression, “Okay, okay, don’t be angry. It’s just 70 million yuan, we still have a lot of money, don’t get yourself angry because of this.”
After saying that, she kissed An Qiang on the face, “Don’t be angry, husband, don’t be angry.”
An Qiang hugged Luo Ping, chasing after her and kissing her fiercely for a while before saying, “My wife is still the best.”
Luo Ping: “Husband, it’s good that you know. Don’t let me down.”
An Qiang: “Okay, okay, okay…”
—
An Le was about to go upstairs to put away the remaining auction items when he saw a message on his phone. He originally thought it was Lu Heng, but when he picked it up, it was from Gu Chen.
At the same time, he also saw the missed call from Lu Heng.
An Le was instantly shocked. Mr. Lu had called him, but he didn’t answer, and it had been two hours since the call.
An Le didn’t reply to Gu Chen’s message, but immediately returned Lu Heng’s call.
Lu Heng answered almost immediately, “Le Le.”
“Mr. Lu.”
An Le was a little nervous, whispering, “You called earlier, I… I didn’t answer, it wasn’t intentional.”
Before entering the auction venue, the staff asked them to put their phones on silent, so he forgot about it.
Lu Heng: “It’s okay. Where did you go with Xiao Xiao today?”
Speaking of where they went today, An Le was particularly happy, “To the auction, Li Jie took me, and Xiao Xiao too. An Qiang gave me a card, and I… I spent 70 million yuan.”
Hearing this, Lu Heng couldn’t help but laugh. He had never thought that his Le Le was so dark-hearted.
At that time, he was sitting in the dark private room, watching An Le and Xiao Xiao excitedly bid, relentlessly increasing the price of the items.
Some people didn’t get what they wanted to buy, and gave them hateful looks. He thought An Le would be scared and let Xiao Xiao or Li Jie help him block them.
But he didn’t.
An Le trembled all over, timidly glanced at those who were dissatisfied with them, whispering, “I… my dad said, I can do whatever I want today.”
Those people were impatient, “Who’s your dad?”
“My dad is An Qiang. He’s very powerful. You guys, in his eyes, are… nothing.”
An Le hid behind Xiao Xiao as he spoke.
That person thought for a moment and did remember that An Qiang had recently recognized an omega son.
They were all alphas, and didn’t intend to argue with an ignorant omega in public, especially since it was An Qiang who let him do it, and the payment was also under An Qiang’s name.
Those people didn’t say anything, but they all secretly remembered this incident and blamed An Qiang.
Lu Heng, who had been very worried that An Le would be bullied, laughed. He didn’t need to buy the gems, and he didn’t need to retaliate. His Le Le was very interesting.
Lu Heng sat in the car, like Li Jie, took a cigarette, lit it, and smiled, “Le Le is amazing.”
Being praised, if An Le had a tail, it would be wagging in the air right now.
He originally wanted to use this money to buy Lu Heng a gift, but thinking that this money was An Qiang’s, he felt disgusted, and the gift he bought for Lu Heng would also feel disgusting.
So, he bought all the auction items.
Unfortunately, the auction items weren’t very useful, he thought for a moment and asked, “Mr. Lu, when will you be back?”
Although these things weren’t very useful to them, Lu Heng’s business was so extensive, he would definitely meet many people, and those people from all over the country would have different tastes. Maybe some people would like these antique vases and paintings, and it would be good to use them as gifts to build relationships.
Hearing that his omega missed him, Lu Heng immediately put out his cigarette, started the car and said, “I’ll be back soon, wait for me.”
After hanging up the phone, An Le sat at the head of the bed with a red face waiting for Lu Heng to return.
He thought for a moment, and specially took a bath. When he came back, he remembered that Gu Chen had also sent him a message.
So he sat at the head of the bed and took a look.
Gu Chen: “What is Le Le doing?”
Gu Chen: “When I got off work, I heard from a friend that there was an auction today, and a pair of sapphire earrings were auctioned off. That pair of sapphire earrings is exactly the same as the ones your mother liked. As soon as I heard, I wanted to buy them for you, but I knew it was too late. The items were already bought. It’s a pity.”
Seeing this, An Le, who had been thinking about how to reply, was instantly stunned, “He… he knows my mother?”
