Chapter 123: Chapter 123 Binhai Tang Family

"Miss Lu, I am truly sorry, my girlfriend wasn’t aware that this gentleman is your boyfriend, please don’t take offense at her behavior."

After realizing the situation, Qi Yangbo hastily pulled Zhang Xiaoqian behind him and bowed deeply to Lu Qinghuan.

Zhang Xiaoqian’s eyes went wide, "Dear, why are you being so polite to this bitch?"

Qi Yangbo cursed inwardly, turned his head, and slapped Zhang Xiaoqian, hissing through clenched teeth, "This is Miss Lu of the Lu Family, if you don’t want to die, then shut your mouth!"

Zhang Xiaoqian was taken aback, "Miss Lu... Miss Lu of the Lu Family is Chen Fan’s girlfriend, how can this be possible..."

Qi Yangbo continued to apologize profusely to Lu Qinghuan, "Miss Lu, I am deeply sorry, my girlfriend is short-sighted and didn’t recognize you, which led to this misunderstanding. Please give her a chance, I will take her to offer sincere apologies to you and your boyfriend, we are truly sorry."

Having said that, he bowed at a ninety-degree angle, cold sweat dripping down.

Lu Qinghuan snorted coldly, "If she spouts nonsense again, you should be well aware of the consequences!"

Qi Yangbo nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, Miss Lu rest assured, I’ll take her away right now, so she won’t bother you two anymore."

He then quickly took Zhang Xiaoqian away.

Only then did Lu Qinghuan let go of Chen Fan’s hand, her face flushed with shyness, "I’m sorry, I said you were my boyfriend just now in a rush to help you."

Chen Fan was resigned, "Thank you, Miss Lu."

Qi Yangbo, with a look of sympathy, rubbed Zhang Xiaoqian’s face, "Dear, I’m sorry, I had no choice but to hit you just now. If we anger Miss Lu of the Lu Family, not even I can protect you."

Zhang Xiaoqian’s face darkened, and she looked spitefully at Chen Fan and Lu Qinghuan from a distance, "No wonder this guy has Longhai Hotel’s gold card, turns out he’s playing the gigolo for Miss Lu of the Lu Family."

"I heard from my cousin that Chen Fan was a gigolo back in Jiangnan too, never expected him to be the same in Longhai."

"Really, I don’t know what kind of taste Miss Lu of the Lu Family has, to fall for someone like Chen Fan."

Qi Yangbo said, "Regardless of his character, you’d better not provoke him in the future."

Zhang Xiaoqian clenched her teeth, and eventually could only stamp her feet and give up.

On the other side of the hall.

A fair-skinned young woman and an elder in a black robe had watched the whole scene unfold.

The young woman’s expression was cold as frost, keeping others at a distance, "The Lu Family is one of the three great Martial Arts families just like our Tang Family, but I didn’t expect Miss Lu of the Lu Family to have such poor judgment, it’s a disgrace to the Martial Arts families."

The elder in black nodded in agreement, "When it comes to taste, Miss Lu is indeed far behind you, miss."

The young woman’s expression was proud, no longer paying attention to Lu Qinghuan and Chen Fan, she turned to the elder, "Elder Yun, the small auction that’s about to start, will there really be Spiritual Medicine that is five hundred years old?"

The elder in black nodded, "The information is reliable, miss need not worry."

The young woman’s expression turned serious, "We have traveled a long distance from Binhai to Longhai just to find a Spiritual Medicine that could alleviate my sister’s illness, there must be no mistakes this time."

Shortly after, the staff announced the start of the small treasure auction.

Some people in the first-floor hall began moving towards the second floor.

Most stood in place, looking enviously at the entrance to the second floor.

Lu Qinghuan glanced at Chen Fan, "Mr. Chen, let’s go upstairs."

Chen Fan nodded and followed Lu Qinghuan up to the second floor.

"A treasure auction? It must be very high-end, I have to check it out." Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoqian hurriedly dragged Qi Yangbo over.

Qi Yangbo had no time to explain before he was pulled to the entrance.

Two staff members stopped them, "Please stop here."

Zhang Xiaoqian looked indignant, "They all went up, why can’t we? My boyfriend is the young master of the Qi Family!"

Two staff members glanced at Qi Yangbo, one of them speaking indifferently, "I’m sorry, the Qi Family does not yet qualify to go up to the second floor."

Zhang Xiaoqian’s expression froze, embarrassment spreading throughout her body.

"I’m so sorry, we’ll leave right now," Qi Yangbo quickly apologized, his face turning red as he hurriedly pulled Zhang Xiaoqian away.

Second floor.

In a delicately decorated small hall.

Lu Qinghuan and Chen Fan took seats together on a sofa in the front row.

Chen Fan looked around and noticed that the place could accommodate at most a few dozen people, but those who qualified to be on the second floor still could not fill the space.

At that moment, a young woman and a man in a black robe walked over.

The young woman kicked Lu Qinghuan’s foot with hers and said, "Move over."

Lu Qinghuan frowned, "There’s so much space in front, you could just walk around; why do you have to kick me?"

The young woman sneered, "Is it wrong to find you an eyesore?"

Lu Qinghuan assessed the young woman, "Do you know who I am?"

With a face full of disdain, the young woman sat down with the black-robed elder on a sofa nearby, "Not everyone is afraid of your Lu Family."

After looking at the young woman for a while, Lu Qinghuan suddenly widened her eyes, "You’re Tang Chuchu from Binhai’s Tang Family!"

The corners of Tang Chuchu’s mouth curved up, "Didn’t expect you to remember me."

Her gaze swept across Chen Fan, "Honestly, when I first saw you, your beauty was somewhat astonishing, but I never imagined your taste would be so poor; I even feel ashamed to be mentioned in the same breath as Miss Lu of the Lu Family."

Lu Qinghuan did not get angry, but instead felt a sense of pride internally, ignoring Tang Chuchu, "Ignorant."

Chen Fan observed the black-robed elder next to Tang Chuchu and found that he was actually a Grandmaster, so he asked Lu Qinghuan, "The Binhai Tang Family, are they very impressive?"

Lu Qinghuan nodded, "The Tang Family, along with our Lu Family, is one of the top three distinguished families in Martial Arts. However, the Tang Family is far away in Binhai, I don’t know why Tang Chuchu would come to Jiangnan."

Chen Fan pondered for a moment and did not ask further.

Before long, a middle-aged man with glasses and a shrewd face approached.

This person was the manager of Longhai Auction House, Li Duoyu.

Li Duoyu glanced at the crowd, "Let’s not waste words. I’ll present the treasures directly. If you see something you like, just state your price."

He clapped his hands.

Several seductively figured women pushed a cart over.

Li Duoyu introduced the items on the cart.

One after another, all five were things Chen Fan had never even heard of before.

A Cursed Diamond that sang, a wooden box that could sing, a bone suspected to be that of a dragon, chopsticks used by an Ancient God, a crystal born from an ancient tree.

All carried a sense of mystery and each item fetched a price of over a hundred million.

"These rich people sure have some strange hobbies, collecting all sorts of things," Chen Fan remarked with a smile.

At this time, Li Duoyu presented the last item.

"Five hundred-year-old Blood Ganoderma, a rare find in the world, of terrifying medicinal value. Just one dose could bring someone back from the brink of death."

Tang Chuchu and the black-robed elder both became excited.

The hitherto somewhat bored Chen Fan suddenly had a gleam in his eyes.
