This set of rules have been continued by the Feng Family in this land of M country for more than half a world, even foreigners have to follow their rules to do things.
Sheng Ning arrived last. When she drove here with Gu Yunbo, she found that there was no place to park at the hotel entrance. Just as they were about to find a parking space, the hotel doorman saw their car from afar and walked out.
"Hello, Miss Sheng Ning, Iâll park for you," the doorman said respectfully.
"Thank you!" Sheng Ning got out of the car, Gu Yunbo casually tossed the keys to the doorman, extending her arm for Sheng Ning to hold as they walked in.
The outfits the two wore today were quite interesting, all personally designed by Mary. Gu Yunbo wore a playful and dashing suit, especially the top hat, which caught the eye.
Sheng Ning, on the other hand, was in a lotus pink lace dress, making her skin appear radiant and stunning. As the two walked into the hall, they drew a lot of attention.
There were even quite a few whispers.
Chief Ni saw Sheng Ning from afar and quickly approached, bowing respectfully, "Miss, youâre here."
With his actions and address, the noise in the hall grew louder. People looked at Sheng Ning in amazement, with some rubbing their eyes in exaggeration, confirming they hadnât seen wrong before exclaiming.
"Oh! My God!"
"How come we didnât know about this big news?"
These people spoke in Mandarin fluently, and there were foreigners who couldnât speak Mandarin, repeatedly shouting to God.
Gu Yunbo swept her sharp gaze around the surroundings, then exchanged a look with Sheng Ning and quietly left.
"Miss, this way please," said Chief Ni.
"Thank you!" Sheng Ning followed Chief Ni up the spiral staircase to the third floor, then sat in the private room in the center.
"Miss, this is your seat for today. If thereâs anything you fancy, feel free to bid, we will settle it for you."
"What about Uncle Grandfather? Didnât he say he would come too? Why havenât I seen him?" Sheng Ning didnât have to look around to know Uncle Grandfather wasnât here, because Chief Ni was always inseparable from him.
"Sir said that since youâre here, you can completely replace him, so he doesnât need to come anymore." Chief Ni said, then bowed and stood expressionless outside the private room.
Sheng Ning sat down, looking around, feeling a bit amused. Is Uncle Grandfather trying another strategy since one didnât work?
Gu Yunbo returned not long after, "This time itâs going to be spectacular."
"What happened? Did you find out something?"
"Guess."
"Does it have to do with me, or with the Feng Familyâs heir?"
"You got it right." Gu Yunbo pointed to the chair under him, "Do you know what kind of place this is? Itâs the seat only the Feng Family Patriarch can take. No one is qualified to sit here except for Mr. Feng, not even Feng Zhenzhen had a chance before."
"Indeed." Sheng Ning shook her head helplessly, "Uncle Grandfather is really putting me on the spot!"
"Whether you can handle it is up to you, but Mr. Feng truly values you."
"So itâs my honor?" She smiled slightly. Speaking of which, she was indeed dissatisfied with Uncle Grandfatherâs actions, but her gratitude was real. Without the Feng Familyâs help, she might not have gotten through the difficult times earlier.
After all, Uncle Grandfather is her elder. After the auction, she still needs to go and see him with Living Yama.
"You could say that!"
