Chapter 48: Quote A Price

The charity auction was held on a cruise.

The ship was decorated in vintage style, with dazzling crystals embellishing the interior, likening it to a luxurious ancient palace.

All kinds of luxurious cars were parked by the Pearl River. Those who alighted from the cars were dressed in a lavish, refined way.

Du Manqing watched Ling Sheng alight, her presence attracting the attention of the people by the river instantly. A sinister, twisted feeling welled in the bottom of Du Manqing’s orbs.

“Senior Du.” Ling Sheng smiled and bowed slightly, though she could clearly see the flash of sinisterness that disappeared quickly from Du Manqing’s orbs.

A chill ran down her spine.

Oh, Mommy, that was a fearsome sight!

Women’s jealousy was really scary.

What was more fearsome was the possibility of one stabbing you behind your back!

The auction had yet to start.

In the venue were so-called successful people who carried tall wine glasses and went around on a romantic hunt.

There were also innocent-looking, adorable women who seemed indifferent or were too timid to converse with men but were in reality interested in them.

Real talks about business topics took place, with ‘business experts’ sharing their tips and experiences.

The moment Du Manqing entered, a few men in suits came forward to welcome her. While they were dressed like decent humans, their gazes landed blatantly on Ling Sheng.

“Ms. Du, who’s this beauty?” Xu Qiang’s eyes were glued on Ling Sheng.

She was gorgeous.

Immensely gorgeous.

Her beauty was otherworldly.

She had come with Du Manqing, so she should be a lesser-known celebrity. Since he had not seen her before, she should be an unpopular, low-rated artist, so 100,000 dollars might buy him a night with her.

“President Xu, this is Ling Sheng, my junior at the company. Please guide her more in the future.” Du Manqing had entered the entertainment circle many years ago and knew the nature of men very well.

Upon seeing the wolf-like, indecent gaze of Xu Qiang, which conveyed his strong desire to devour her, she knew what he planned to do.

“Hi, President Xu.” Ling Sheng greeted him obediently and smiled slightly.

Her smile dulled the surroundings.

So-called experts and upper-class aristocrats were, after all, men. As their intense gazes landed on her, they revealed a sense of shock, playfulness, and an unconcealed desire for dominance.

When had such a beauty appeared in the capital? She looked refreshed, innocent, and charming, stunning enough to tag at one’s heartstrings. Her every single act was also seductive, making one’s throat go dry.

Ling Sheng, who could naturally feel the intense gazes around her, regretted dressing up like this and questioned Lu Yubai’s intentions for dressing her like that.

Now, she could clearly feel herself becoming a delicious meal for the men in the room and a thorn in the flesh of the other women.

Being born beautiful was a crime!

What could she do? Her looks were not something she could abandon or discard even if she wanted to!

Which woman was not vain enough to want to stun everyone or see men go crazy for her?

Du Manqing was also a woman. Thus, when she heard the repeated praise of the magnates, massive jealousy flashed across her eyes.

“Sheng Sheng, I can see someone I know. You can continue chatting with the other bosses.” Du Manqing left after informing her.

Ling Sheng smiled politely at the men who tried to initiate conversations with her while toasting and sipping her wine.

Although her behavior was appropriate and she was polite, she was still able to avoid the ‘salty pig hooves’ attempting to reach out to her subtly.

Xu Qiang found an opportunity to stop Du Manqing. “That’s your junior. Quote a price. I’ll accept any price.”

Du Manqing smiled coldly. “She’s not working under me. Since we know each other, I shall warn you that it would be better not to hit her up.”
