Almighty Sweet Queen is Really Rich!

Chapter 682: Chapter 682 To Save Her from Embarrassment!

Feng Huaijin had indeed heard about the charity auction on the evening of the third day of the Lunar New Year, which had already caused quite a stir before the year ended, with rumors about the precious items being auctioned.

Su Li looked at Madam Feng’s gentle and kind expression, but her unease only deepened. What did those jade bracelets mean?

Since it’s a charity auction, it’s a public welfare event, so naturally there were some celebrities and models from An City attending.

When Su Li and Feng Huaijin arrived at the scene, they saw a group of female celebrities dressed in gowns, competing with one another, leaving Su Li somewhat speechless.

The venue was decorated in a low-key yet luxurious antique style, with red carpet underfoot and subtle, pleasant incense burning in the corners. Familiar celebrities were chatting with each other.

Why are there so many celebrities? Among them were quite a few popular actresses and singers.

Su Li spotted a familiar figure... it was Yang Jinghao!

Feng Huaijin gave a light scoff and said in a low voice, ”These women are just using the charity as a pretext; they’re really just here for the camera.”

There are hardly any who genuinely donate to charity, but when it comes to taking photos, it’s a chaotic competition for the spotlight.

Feng Huaijin thought for a moment, then patted Su Li on the head and said, ”I’ll go backstage to confirm if the jade bracelets mother mentioned are here.”

If not, then there’s no need to waste time here.

This bunch of starlets was drenched in various perfumes, mixing into a rather unpleasant odor.

Su Li obediently nodded, and as she watched Feng Huaijin’s tall figure leave, her gaze unconsciously fell on the electronic display in the hall.

The display was rolling through images of tonight’s auction items one after another.

Each item flashed by, and Su Li’s gaze suddenly landed on the last image. Surprised, she said, ”Why is the last auction item covered up?”

One couldn’t see what was inside at all.

The staff next to her hadn’t had time to explain when a somewhat sharp female voice chimed in, with unmistakable sarcasm: ”Su Li, you’ve been hanging around Mr. Qi for so long, haven’t you gained any insight? Turns out you’re really just a small-town girl from Jiang City.”

Su Li immediately turned her head to look and saw... Ling Chenyu.

She wore a white little dress, with a snow-white shawl draped over her shoulders, and her long, wavy black hair was tied up, giving her a spirited look.

Standing next to her was a woman Su Li found somewhat familiar, with Ling Yanchen awkwardly on the left.

Su Li hadn’t expected to encounter the siblings Ling Yanchen and Ling Chenyu here.

Ling Chenyu also found Su Li distasteful; on the third day of the New Year, she had rushed to An City, while her fourth brother claimed to be visiting relatives for the holiday, yet she hadn’t seen him at all.

She had long investigated that the auction would feature a highlight item, and reliable sources indicated it might very well be her lost Heart of the Ocean!

As long as she reclaimed that blue diamond, she could renew her engagement with her fourth brother.

Who would have thought she’d run into Su Li as soon as she walked in, prompting a snide remark.

Ling Chenyu looked at Su Li mockingly and said, ”Don’t you know the auction rules, that the last item is never announced in advance? It’s to leave the guests with a sense of anticipation.”

Ling Yanchen felt his scalp tingle, tugging at Ling Chenyu’s sleeve he said, ”Let’s go, sit at our reserved seats first.”

Ling Yanchen, this second brother, always catered to his sister’s wishes; they always breathed the same air, so why wasn’t he speaking up for her today and instead was urging her to leave?

Ling Chenyu was already in a bad mood for not seeing Feng Ciye, and immediately put on a sour face, saying, ”Second brother, why rush? This auction hasn’t even started yet? I’m just kindly explaining things to my roommate to save her from embarrassing herself!”
