"Okay, I'll go find the child right away. You can ask the waiter to prepare two more chairs." After giving her instructions, Lu Qianqian turned and left.
Rong Changqing immediately glanced at the two people sitting next to him.
They had just heard Lu Qianqian's words, and now, receiving Rong Ershao's gaze, their hearts skipped a beat. They immediately stood up and said, "Ershao, these two seats are for you."
Rong Changqing nodded with satisfaction: "Thank you."
Lu Qianqian returned the way she came and, sure enough, found two little kids in the snack area.
Lu Qianqian couldn't help but laugh after just one glance.
Even eating cream can result in it getting all over their face; kids will always be kids.
The chubby boy was the first to see Lu Qianqian. He quickly swallowed the dessert in his mouth and then said to Xiao Chengcheng, "Big brother, your mom is here to see you!"
Xiao Cheng instinctively looked up, then saw Lu Qianqian and quickly looked away.
I'm not happy at all.
Lu Qianqian walked up to the two children, took out wet wipes to clean their faces, and squatted down to ask softly, "Have you eaten? The auction is about to begin!"
Xiao Chengcheng snorted arrogantly, "What does the auction have to do with me?"
"Of course it's none of your business! Your dad donated your Ultraman!"
"What?" Xiao Chengcheng bristled. "Why should I donate my toys?"
Lu Qianqian shrugged: "The organizers contacted your dad and invited him to donate items to do good for charity. He thought about it for a long time and then donated your set of rare Ultraman figurines!"
"How could he do this? Take me back right now!" Xiao Chengcheng suddenly became anxious, his eyes turning red. "I don't care, you have to buy it for me."
A sly glint flashed in Lu Qianqian's eyes as she held a child's hand and said, "Let's go, or your Ultraman will be sold if we're late."
Xiao Chengcheng became even more anxious, quickly moving his little legs like a small electric motor, forcefully pulling Lu Qianqian to run over.
Lu Qianqian was pulled so fast that she could only speed up, but the chubby boy with the other hand was struggling. The three of them were almost in a straight line, pulling each other.
Suddenly, a group of people walked out from the side, and Xiao Chengcheng couldn't stop in time and crashed into them.
Instantly, the things in the group's hands fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
At the moment of impact, Lu Qianqian quickly pulled Xiao Chengcheng back and held him in her arms to protect him.
"Where did this little kid come from?"
"Oh my god, quick, pick up the things!"
A group of people quickly picked up the things on the ground. Lu Qianqian looked over and was slightly surprised.
They were all valuable jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, and so on. It seemed they were items from today's auction. I automatically led the two children back a little, away from them.
One of the women looked up at Lu Qianqian with displeasure and muttered, "If these things get broken, we can't afford to pay for them ourselves."
Lu Qianqian lowered her head and apologized: "I'm sorry."
"So what if Rong Er Shao's woman is so great? You don't even care about these things?" The woman continued to vent her dissatisfaction. "So what if Rong Er Shao is rich? The Rong family's military industry won't be handed over to him. What's there to be proud of? He's just lucky to have been born into such a family."
Lu Qianqian frowned slightly, not understanding where this woman's resentment came from, but still did not intend to cause trouble here, and continued to apologize: "I'm really sorry."
The man got even angrier: "Since you know you're sorry, why aren't you helping me pick it up?"
Lu Qianqian refused decisively: "I'm sorry, these are all valuable items. It's best if we don't touch them to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings. I apologize for that."
Xiao Chengcheng hid behind Lu Qianqian, glaring angrily at the woman in front of him. How dare she speak ill of his father! He'd get Baiban to deal with her later!
snort!
The chubby boy looked at Lu Qianqian timidly and asked, "Aunt Lu, should I go and help?"
Lu Qianqian shook her head, still not allowing the two children to touch these things.
The woman continued to vent her dissatisfaction and hurl insults. After packing her things, she left with her entourage. Only after they disappeared from sight did Lu Qianqian lead the child toward the auction hall.
Remembering their previous seats, Lu Qianqian glanced around and spotted Rong Changqing's back. She then led the two children to sit down there.
There were three empty seats next to Rong Changqing, and no one else dared to sit there. Xiao Chengcheng automatically sat in the seat next to Rong Changqing, leaving Lu Qianqian's seat for her.
The chubby boy sat down next to Chengcheng on the other side.
Lu Qianqian unconsciously curled a faint smile at the corner of her lips and sat down next to Rong Changqing.
"Why did it take you so long?" Rong Changqing asked in a low voice, as if they were whispering to each other.
"The two children were playing around on the road and fell down, which caused a slight delay," Lu Qianqian briefly told Rong Changqing what had happened on the road.
Rong Changqing extended his right hand, grasped her left hand, placed it on his thigh, raised his chin, and pointed to the stage: "It's about to start, see if there's anything you like."
"Okay."
Beside him, Xiao Chengcheng sat upright, listening attentively to the host's introduction.
I'm so anxious. I don't even know which auction number my Ultraman was in. I'm too scared to fall asleep, afraid that Ultraman will be gone when I wake up.
The host introduced the first item, a set of emerald jewelry consisting of earrings, a necklace, a ring, and a bracelet. The four pieces would be auctioned together as a set.
Starting price: 200,000.
Soon, people around started bidding, and each bid went up by 50,000.
Rong Changqing asked Lu Qianqian, "Why aren't you bidding? Don't you like it?"
Lu Qianqian nodded: "This set of jewelry is more suitable for middle-aged women. I'd better not wear it as a young girl."
Rong Changqing chuckled softly, his gaze as gentle as the warm sun in spring.
Looking at his smiling face, Lu Qianqian couldn't help but laugh out loud herself.
In the end, the jewelry set was auctioned off for 350,000 yuan, and the winner was Zhang Shengqin.
When Lu Qianqian found out it was him, she felt a chill run down her spine. She guessed that Zhang Shengqin bought a set to give to his mother, his mother-in-law, Rong Wanru, and herself.
That's quite a clever plan; no wonder you studied finance and accounting.
Fortunately, she didn't want the gift he gave her at all.
"Aunt Lu." Suddenly, the chubby boy squatted down and walked up to her, looking pitiful. "My back is so itchy."
"itch?"
"Ugh, it's so itchy!" the chubby boy said, reaching out with his hands, but he couldn't reach it no matter what he did, and he was almost crying in frustration.
Lu Qianqian felt something was wrong, wondering if he had eaten something that caused an allergic reaction. She quickly said to Rong Changqing, "I'll take him out to see."
Rong Changqing stopped her, saying, "I'll take him. He's such a big child, do you expect him to go into the women's restroom with you?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Qianqian's face flushed red, but she was shocked.
Rong Changqing was very thoughtful.
