Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Reporters from all the big entertainment companies in the Capital were camped outside where the Royal Auction was being held. All the major players from the business world were gathered today, which made for a powerful sight.
Many eager fans, including Tang Mo’er’s loyal fans, were there as well. Netizens that were fans of King-back had also rushed down as well to personally witness this unprecedented sight.
The design of the main hall of the Royal Auction House was somewhat vintage, with all the rooms covered by beaded curtains.
Of course, these rooms were reserved for the most wealthy and respected magnates.
Many CEOs were sat on the sofa at the main hall, and were talking to each other.
“Look, there are six rooms in total. There are two Sky rooms1, two Earth rooms and two People rooms. They’re split into left and right, but hold an equal amount of prestige.
“One of the Sky rooms must belong to the wealthiest magnate in the Capital, Gu Mohan. But the other one…”
All the CEOs feared that name. The other room had to belong to Lu Jinwen from the Lu Family, who had already vanished from the public eye but was said to have eyes and ears everywhere.
It was said that Lu Jinwen was back from Vancouver and would definitely attend this auction.
“One of the Earth rooms must belong to Karghalik’s wealthiest man, Huo Beichen. The other belonged to Su Zhe, the President of the dark horse entertainment company, Universal Entertainment.”
Regardless of whether it was Huo Beichen or Su Zhe, both of them had relations to Tang Mo’er.
“As for this People room, one must be for Country A’s King of the North, the second son of the Feng Family, Feng Lihen. I have no idea who the other room belongs to.”
No one had any idea who was in the last room.
Everyone lowered their voice. “To think that someone from Country A actually came all the way to the Capital. These days are going to become less peaceful.”
“I heard that the situation in Country A is quite dire. Within these past three years, an innate genius killed to get his way to the top, and quickly claimed himself as the West Duke. Rumors are that he’s going to unite Country A and become the ultimate ruler.”
Everyone sighed.
Suddenly, someone asked, “That’s right, Beauty Tang returned with her own brand of jewelry, King-back this time. Will her mother, Madam Xuanji show?”
“Back then, Madam Xuanji was extremely talented, and set up the jewelry company DHA Diamonds. I wonder how many men have they entranced?”
“25 years passed by in a flash. Madam Xuanji has left the Capital for too long.”
…
Outside the area, a Rolls-Royce limousine pulled up slowly. Gu Mohan had arrived.
The security cleared a path as Yan Dong opened the car door for him, Gu Mohan stretched out his long legs and got out of the car.
Today, Gu Mohan was in a hand-made navy suit, not a wrinkle in sight on his shirt. The suit made him look tall and broad, dignified and affluent. He became the focus of interest the moment he got out of the car.
At this time, another expensive limousine pulled up. It was Huo Beichen.
Huo Beichen got out of the car and walked over to Gu Mohan. “Second Brother, what a coincidence. It’s been a while since we’ve seen each other.”
Huo Beichen’s girlfriend Little Ling was by his side. She looked towards Gu Mohan politely and said, “President Gu, I’ve heard so much about you.”
Gu Mohan took a look at Little Ling, before his deep, narrow eyes landed on Huo Beichen’s handsome face. “Beichen, don’t leave after the auction. Let’s have a drink together. Call Qinglun as well.”
“Okay.”
There was a sudden commotion as the fans outside started screaming madly. “Tang Mo’er! Tang Mo’er!”
Tang Mo’er had arrived.
A nanny van pulled up, and Qi Xi opened the door to let Tang Mo’er out.
The main star of the auction was finally here.
Tang Mo’er was in an expensive dress today. The top was a white lace blouse, matched with a black pleated skirt. With every step she took, the skirt swayed gracefully along her high heels.
She wasn’t dressed ostentatiously today, with the simple black-and-white combination making her gentle face look a little more experienced and cool. Her dark brown curls fell lazily around her, and her entire being exuded a sort of indescribable charisma.
Over these three years, she had outgrown her immaturity. Every expression she made and every action she took oozed with chic and sexiness.
On one wrist, a thin bracelet hung delicately. It was a King-back designed by her and twinkled in the bright sunlight.
“Ahhh! Tang Mo’er, I love you!”
The fans outside were screaming uncontrollable, and there were many male fans in the crowd.
Under the protection of Qi Xi and the black-clad bodyguards, Tang Mo’er walked towards the main auction hall. She looked back at the fans, and reached out to make a heart gesture, telling them that she loved them too.
Ahhh! It’s too much, we’re going to faint from happiness!
In just those few moments, some fans actually collapsed from happiness.
Tang Mo’er curved her red lips. At this moment, out of the corner of her eyes, she saw Gu Mohan and Huo Beichen.
It was hard to miss these two elite men standing next to each other.
At this moment, she saw another limousine pull up.
The car didn’t stop at the lawn, and drove straight into the underground carpark.
The back windows rolled down slowly, revealing a handsome and sculpted face. It was Lu Jinwen.
Tang Mo’er small face displayed no emotion, She continued to walk leisurely into the main auction hall.
Her fair hands took out her phone and she made a call. “Hello, Chenyi, have you and Mom returned?”
…
With a swish of her skirt, Tang Mo’er’s beautiful figure vanished quickly from his line of sight. Gu Mohan looked away and glanced at Huo Beichen beside him.
Huo Beichen was still looking in the direction Tang Mo’er had left. He hadn’t looked away, and his attractive eyes betrayed hints of complicated feelings.
A long leg reached over. Gu Mohan had kicked him. “Are you still staring at your sister-in-law?”
Huo Beichen looked over at Gu Mohan immediately. Gu Mohan’s deep and narrow eyes had turned as sharp as a hawk.
“Second Brother, what are you thinking? There’s no way I’m interested in Tang Mo’er. Because of her, you and aunt drifted apart. It’s more likely that I hate her!” Huo Beichen said as he wrapped his arms around Little Ling.
Gu Mohan looked at Huo Beichen. This little rascal had grown up with him, and was the Karghalik tyrant, unafraid of anything. Except his second brother.
He knew his limits.
But Yan Dong’s words from last night still rang in his ears.
“President, we’ve found something. Three years ago when Young Madam disappeared, Young Master Huo vanished as well. He went looking for Young Madam.
“For three months, Young Master Huo covered half the globe, madly searching for Young Madam. He abandoned his own identity, his family, He was looking for her madly in areas no one knew about.”
Three years ago, Huo Beichen had vanished suddenly without any warning. He was the only son of the Huo Family. At that time, he was in an arranged marriage with the second daughter of the Jun Family, but he disappeared suddenly, leaving everything behind.
