Chapter 787 - The Duke Appears
Chapter 787: The Duke Appears
After Zhong Nuannuan and Selina took their places on the stage, they finally started talking.
“Hello, everyone. I am Zhong Nuannuan, the donor of Moonlight.”
“Hello, everyone. I’m Selina, the Vice President of Tianheng Holdings and one of the organizers of this auction.”
What? Not only was Selina the daughter of Duke Eton of Luntan, but she was also the Vice President of Tianheng Holdings?
The people who were participating in the auction immediately erupted into an uproar.
Tianheng Holdings was a corporation that was ranked among the top 50 companies in the international market! Being one of Tianheng Holdings’ shareholders at such a young age was definitely enough to become rich at an international level.
Listening to all the discussions that went on around them, the expression on Zhong Qianqian and Huang Yuhan’s faces darkened significantly.
Tianheng Holdings… Zhong Qianqian thought about how she should have gotten together with Aiden before he suddenly ignored her. Was it because of Selina?
Suddenly, Zhong Qianqian recalled an incident when she called Aiden in the past. He did not pick up her call. However, once she called Aiden with her nanny’s phone, he picked up. Furthermore, it was a woman who picked up the call. Zhong Qianqian could not help but feel her anger rising.
Selina, just you wait! When she became the daughter of a first-tier wealthy family, she would tell Selina how flowers got so red.
She sincerely believed that only a member of a wealthy family at the international level like Aiden was worthy of her.
“First of all, I want to explain to everyone why I’m late today.” Zhong Nuannuan’s voice rang out on the stage once again. The people who were still busy whispering among each other held their tongues.
“Originally, we would’ve arrived half an hour earlier. Yet, when we were about to reach the first floor, we received a call from my daddy. To everyone here, I’m a military wife—a military wife who came to the city from a farming district to look for her family. Actually, there’s been a mistake with this piece of information.”
What?
Zhong Qianqian and Gu Mingzhe, who was stunned from staring at Zhong Nuannuan, were both shocked.
There had been a mistake?
Did that mean she did not come back from the farming district?
“Speaking of my family background, it is rather unique. I was kidnapped when I was three, and I didn’t return home until I was seventeen. During that time, human traffickers sold me to an infertile couple overseas. I was originally happy too. However, the couple died in a car accident when I was four, and thus, I became an orphan again.
“At the orphanage, I met Selina, Aiden, and my other friends. However, Selina and I were lucky because we received Duke Eton of Luntan’s favor. He brought us home and treats us like his own daughters.
“Now, I’m about to get married. My daddy was preparing to discuss the details of my marriage with my fiancé’s grandfather when he coincidentally overheard that there will be an auction today. Unfortunately, something happened to his private plane, he took the commercial airliner that arrived a bit later than expected. Thankfully, he still made it in the end.”
Zhong Nuannuan’s words sent the crowd into another frenzy.
Duke Eton!
The richest and most desirable bachelor in Luntan—the prince of the royal family!
As it turned out, he was the father to Zhong Nuannuan, this future military wife-to-be!
“Since he requested that I waited for him so that we could come up together, my fiancé and I were late. Once again, I apologize for my tardiness.”
As soon as she finished speaking, all the guests below had already stood up. The entire venue was filled with unusually enthusiastic applause.
Of course, Zhong Qianqian and Huang Yuhan were an exception.
That was because they were already murdered by the truth.
How could Zhong Nuannuan not be a country bumpkin who returned from the farming district?
