Chapter 2898: You’re Being Used as a Pawn
Their bid had been 1.15 billion.
After the bidding ended, Lian Min’s second brother pointed at her and Ning Shu.
“Stop hanging out with her. You’re being used as a pawn,” he said, his face darkening.
Lian Min replied innocently, “Second Brother, what are you talking about? I don’t understand.”
“You…”
“Enough, Second. If we didn’t get it, we didn’t get it.” The eldest brother interrupted, glancing at his sister and Ning Shu.
“Wait until Grandpa comes back, and you can explain it to him yourself.” He turned and left first.
The second brother huffed at Lian Min and hurried after him.
Ning Shu: …
I’m the most innocent one here.“Did you really do it?” Ning Shu asked Lian Min.
“No, I didn’t. Who knows what happened,” Lian Min replied.
Ning Shu felt there was definitely something fishy going on; otherwise, the prices wouldn’t be so close.
She watched the “happy couple” walk past.
Especially seeing Bai Hanmo’s bloodshot eyes, Ning Shu was inwardly thrilled.
Dealing with Ding Ningdie wasn’t interesting; dealing with her backer was what was truly interesting.
Ning Shu and Lian Min left the auction banquet, chatting and laughing.
A bodyguard approached and said to Lian Min, “Miss, the young master invites you over, and Miss Ding is also invited.”
Ning Shu: What does this have to do with me?
A long Lincoln car was parked by the roadside, and the bodyguard opened the door. Lian Min hesitated, then got in, holding her skirt.
Ning Shu followed and got in as well.
The car was spacious, with both the eldest and second brothers of the Lian family inside.
The eldest brother spoke directly to Ning Shu: “My sister is a simple person. Please don’t take advantage of her, and don’t involve our family in your matters with the Bai family.”
Ning Shu responded with an “oh,” then asked, “What did I do?”
“You wanted to please Bai Hanmo and compete with your sister for him, so you persuaded my sister to leak the price to you.” The second brother spoke hastily, words spilling out.
Ning Shu and Lian Min’s faces darkened at his comment.
“Miss Ding, please stop involving my sister. Our family won’t tolerate it if this happens again,” the eldest brother said coldly.
Despite his calm tone, he projected authority, while the second brother was more boyish and brash.
Ning Shu sat silently for a moment, then turned to Lian Min and asked, “How should I respond to your brother?”
“It’s fine, you can go. I’ll hang out with you when I have time,” Lian Min said.
Ning Shu nodded, opened the car door, and got out.
She wasn’t angry at the Lian brothers. They cared deeply for their sister, and no one was naive here.
They each had their suspicions.
But Ning Shu wasn’t trying to please Bai Hanmo; she was planning to crush him.
Compared to having nothing, losing everything after once having it and falling from heaven to hell made life worse than death.
The Lincoln drove off, and Ning Shu went home.
She made medicinal paste at her leisure and slowly acquired Bai family stocks.
She felt fulfilled. Mother Ding was abroad for Fashion Week.
With Mother Ding away, Ning Shu felt more relaxed.
The land Bai Hanmo acquired at the auction had its opening ceremony. He intended to develop it into a high-end villa district.
