Chapter 122 - 122: Young Seventh Lord Lushen
Hiss!
Shen Wan used the one in her hand to compare with the one in the reference picture, confirming they were the same.
So, did Shen Qian go to Europe to shoot a collectible as a gift for her?
After leaving the webpage, Shen Wan noticed a term in the list of related terms that caught her attention: “Ares”. She knew it was a character from Greek mythology, one of the twelve main gods, but she didn’t have any further information about it.
Out of curiosity, she clicked on that term…
Three minutes later, her eyes revealed shock, and the color drained from her face.
Ning City, East Fence Manor.
“…I don’t care! Changing the auction time led to someone else buying the bracelet. This is sheer carelessness! Even a prestigious institution like Christie in Europe can’t be relied upon. Prepare to get your reputation tarnished! Motherfucker!”
All the previous sentences were in English, and only the last one switched to a Beijing accent. It was accompanied by the man’s furious actions, comical and laughable.
As soon as Chu Yujian entered, he was sprayed with saliva. He quickly moved aside and nudged Ling Yun with his elbow. “What’s going on? Who hired him again?”
“I don’t know.”
After a series of profanities, the call ended, but the man was still fuming. He kicked over the coffee table before finally feeling satisfied. “I’m furious! Those bunch of scoundrels! Trash! Worthless!”
“Ahem…” Chu Yujian cleared his throat. “Young Seventh Lord, how about sitting down for a cup of tea?”
“The coffee table is overturned, what’s the point of having tea?” Lushen was still angry and would confront anyone.
“What’s the whole story? Sit down and explain slowly. Maybe the Sixth Lord can help…”
“Right!” Lushen’s eyes lit up. “I nearly forgot that Sixth Brother knows everything. Hehehe…”
Chu Yujian choked on his sarcastic tone. “Sixth Lord, 1 apologize to you…”
“Come, come, sit down and talk. Sit down and talk properly!” Lushen invited them. “Little Mushroom, it seems like you’ve grown taller again.”
“Really?” He measured himself last week, and indeed, he had grown by a centimeter.
“Yes!” Lushen appeared genuinely sincere.
Ling Yun liked it when people said he had grown taller; it felt like they were praising him for growing up. His mood instantly improved, and he didn’t even mind Lushen calling him “Little Mushroom”.
The matter began two days ago, during a jewelry auction held at Christie Auction House. Lushen had set his sights on a bracelet named “Ares Tear” and flew all the way from Jingping to the UK for it. However, upon his arrival, the auction house informed him that the auction time had been changed at the last minute and had ended an hour earlier, and the “Ares’s Tear” had already been purchased by someone else.
Lushen got really angry on the spot, but since he was a VIP at the auction house, they didn’t dare to challenge him and let him express his frustration. However, once something is auctioned off, it’s gone for good, no matter how much fuss he made.
Lushen wasn’t foolish. After venting his frustration, he calmed down and tried to at least get the buyer’s personal information from the auction house.
However, the other party adamantly refused, citing customer privacy concerns.
Then-
Young Seventh Lord exploded.
He kept venting his anger until he reached Ning City, bursting into the mansion and hurling threats in that direction.
“…Do you think this is my fault?!” Lushen lamented in anger.
Chu Yujian and Ling Yun shook their heads in agreement.
“Is it unreasonable for me to want the buyer’s information?!”
The two exchanged a glance and nodded.
“You two… forget it.” He took a deep breath and consoled himself, “I’m a ‘Lord’, so 1 won’t argue with you two to avoid losing my status! Hmph!”
“It’s just a bracelet, why make such a fuss?” Ling Yun couldn’t quite grasp what was so important about it to Lushen. From his perspective, why would a man go to such great lengths for something that women appreciated?
Lushen sighed deeply. “You didn’t see that bracelet; it was truly exquisite… Anyway, I’ve confirmed with my own eyes that it’s the thing I’ve been looking for! Nothing else will do!”
Ling Yun remarked, “…Oh, but it’s already been bought by someone else.”
Lushen felt another stab to his heart, then turned to look at Yujian, Ajiang, and Little Jiangjiang. “Do you have a way to get me the buyer’s information?”
“Seventh Lord, you’re overestimating me.”
“No, no, I’m serious. You are the most capable subordinate by my Sixth Brother’s side…” Before he could finish, an unexpected chill washed over him. Lushen quickly changed his tone with a smile.. “Of course, there’s also our Little Mushroom!”
