Chapter 110 She married you for the money Part 4
"Look at that Grandpa. You didn't believe me when I told you but look at all these strangers surrounding her. Do you still think she had nothing to do with uncle Tang's demise?
Shi Meng looked at Grandpa Han and clicked his tongue.
The arrogance and confidence in her eyes stung him like a big bad honey bee.
This whiny pathetic woman, who was once curled up in a corner of his mansion, was now standing on equal footing with him!
Did she always look this beautiful? A stifling feeling arose in his heart, as he watched her elegant beauty being so close to the man next to her.
They even seemed very intimate with each other, as they whispered something in each other's ears.
Shi Meng was fidgeting restlessly in his spot, while the two of them didn't notice him until they reached the front row as well.
Shi Meng immediately threw a threatening glance at the man and then the woman, and smiled sarcastically.
"Heh... I guess it is correct. A seductive prostitute is sometimes more powerful than the Emperor himself!"
Shi Meng chuckled, as his sharp words reached Su Lin's ears.
Just like him, Su Lin and Luther were also seated in the first row, mainly reserved for the city's VIPs.
Well, they might not be the city's VIPs just yet, but they were definitely the mayor's special VIPs.
Why did I have to meet him here again? Su Lin could feel a headache coming.
She gently smiled, and greeted the insolent man-child with a backhanded sarcastic remark, "Thanks for funding me, my dearest ex!"
Shi Meng immediately gripped his chair tightly, as his nails dug into the soft leather.
Bitch!
When the new mayor took his office, he put a rush on all the pending cases and Shi Meng's case was ruled in favor of Su Lin.
It was always a straightforward case and it had only been pending for this long, thanks to Mayor Tang and his influence. But now...
The verdict will be finalized next week and the company and the mansion and every single property of the Meng Empire will be equally distributed next month!
Shi Meng angrily scoffed and turned his attention towards the official on the auction stage.
Laugh now bitch! Not everything is set in stone.
Between now and next month, several things can happen.. Who knows if you will even be alive next month?
Shi Meng adjusted his tie and looked at the new Mayor seated on the other side, two seats away from him.
He needed to use this evening to get close to this new and mysterious mayor!
The auction was the main event for the evening, followed by the reception.
So it started promptly after certain people arrived.
It even suspiciously looked like the mayor was waiting for these said special guests.
But no one put two and two together, leaving it largely unnoticed.
"Please raise your hands to name your bidding in an orderly fashion."
The auction quickly started and progressed smoothly. And Su Lin finally understood what they were doing here.
Ba - Dump.
This 'date' was indeed special.
Ba - Dump.
She looked at the flawless man sitting next to her and couldn't help but reveal a gentle smile.
Ba - Dump.
It looked like he had read her like an open book.
Ba - Dump.
Squirming under this unusual attention, Luther immediately became nervous and flustered.
Su Lin couldn't help but laugh at how temperamental this fellow's reactions were. Wasn't he the one who moved their rooms together?
Heh... Should I tease him some more?
With a delicate invisible chuckle, she extended her smooth thin hand and placed it lightly on his nervously shaking hands.
Kaboom.
Luther instantly stiffened up.
His heart raced so fast, that it could literally jump out at any instant.
Forgetting where he was, he abruptly stood up and shouted, "100000 dollars".
Ughh... Huh... Shit!
"Ha ha ha ha", Su Lin's loud laughter brought him back to reality, as Luther quickly sat down.
"Ahem. Please wait for the auction to start." The mayor cleared his throat and voiced out politely from the corner of the row.
He as well barely contained his laughter.
Damn! Was this still his calm and composed first brother, who always thought about every single angle before taking a decision?
The mayor shook his head and signaled the auctioneer to start.
He had to at least somewhat help his bother recover face, else there might be untold consequences later.
Of course, all of this didn't go unnoticed by the other guy who was constantly staring at Su Lin every other minute.
"Bitch. She has that man completely ensnared." He mumbled under his breath.
How come she behaved completely different with me? I have never seen her take any kind of effort towards looking nice or even presentable?
Hmph. I get it now! Different cheap tricks for different kinds of men! How vulgar and pedestrian. He sneered as a condescending look flashed across his face.
