C240 Little Girl Selling Flowers
"Lord Hai actually lost as well."
"This is too terrifying, fighting with the sea lord over the auction, and he actually managed to win it. How can the sea lord be terrified after only one billion yuan?"
When Luo Ning made the deposit, the system transferred the money into Luo Ning's system account. The money in the system account suddenly became 3 trillion. Now, the Krypton gold props and equipment that Luo Ning had to consider before were no longer needed to be considered.
After Luo Ning inherited the New Century, the over three trillion belonged to Luo Ning. It was just that Luo Ning had been too busy recently and did not pay attention to matters related to money.
Luo Ning paid for the item and asked the auctioneer to deliver it to Leng Xiyue's house.
"Is there anything special about this Jade Pendant?" Luo Ning wanted to know why Leng Xiyue wanted this Jade Pendant.
"One has to become a female emperor through the use of rivers and mountains. Emotions are not something that can be obtained by a sovereign. Phoenixes and clouds, wailing and wailing with sorrow." Leng Xiyue laughed and said: "I like the story behind the Jade Pendant. It's very similar to my own life."
Luo Ning, who knew nothing about ancient texts, could not understand it. The explanation given by the system was: "I have become a female emperor. I like one person but I can't get one. The phoenix soars high and flies with the clouds. The phoenix cries sorrowfully."
So it was like that. Luo Ning now understood that Leng Xiyue simply liked the Jade Pendant because the story behind the Jade Pendant was too similar to her own life.
Jade Pendant belonged to a high and mighty female emperor of the ancient dynasty. As for Leng Xiyue, she was the Holy Maiden.
As for why Hai Family wanted this Jade Pendant, Luo Ning was too lazy to investigate.
In exchange for a favor from Leng Xiyue, the Jade Pendant that he spent one billion to buy was worth it.
"You go first, I still have other things to do, so I'll go somewhere else. As for your Product Experience Program, just contact my assistant." Leng Xiyue said.
After the auction ended, everyone left. Those who stayed behind to exchange a few pleasantries also agreed that they would go to some high class hotel to eat later.
Outside the grand gate, there was an outsider dressed in rich clothes. It was a little girl.
There were also people who brought their children to attend the auction, but those children were all dressed in bright, noble clothing. The little girl who wore a yellow one couldn't possibly be a child from some rich family.
"Uncle, buy a flower, sister, buy a flower." Every few steps the little girl took, she would raise her head and ask, but what she met was a look of disgust and disdain.
The flower in the little girl's hand could not even be described as exquisite, how could the people who came out of the auction house take a fancy to it? However, the little girl didn't know about this. She only came over to try her luck because there were too many people here. If she couldn't sell the flowers, it would be troublesome if she went back.
No one bought flowers, everyone just ignored the little girl.
The little girl's clear eyes gradually became watery. She could not sell flowers, and she did not even dare to go home. Although she did not want to go back to that house, it was her only refuge.
"Elder sister … Buy a flower. " The little girl raised her hand and grabbed Hai Jiaxin's skirt, looking at her pitifully. This was a method that the little girl had learned; it was just a way to act pitiful.
When Luo Ning stole Hai Chengfaang's Jade Pendant, Hai Jiaxin was already in a bad mood. Seeing the little girl's dirty hands leaving a clear mark on her expensive custom-made dress, Hai Jiaxin became even angrier.
"Scram!" Hai Jiaxin forcefully pulled the little girl back from the corner of her skirt. The little girl staggered and fell backwards, the flowers in her hands falling to the ground.
Those inferior flowers fell to the ground, causing the petals to fly into the air. As for those who passed by, they only indifferently glanced at them before continuing to walk forward. Their feet inadvertently stepped on a flower.
Hai Jiaxin looked at the handprint on her skirt angrily. "Where did this wild child come from!?" Where are the security guards!? "
"My flower!" The little girl was very anxious. Tears welled up in her eyes as she frantically picked up the flowers on the ground. However, many of the flowers had already been trampled by people who passed by.
"You owe me my flowers." Tears welled up in the little girl's eyes as she spoke without any confidence. It was one thing if she could not sell these flowers, but if she still broke them, the little girl knew that she would be beaten up if she went back.
Hai Jiaxin thought she misheard, but she didn't care at all. She looked at the little girl with a disgusted look, as if she was looking at a disgusting trash, "I'll compensate you with flowers? Do you know how much my clothes are worth? You can't even afford to pay with your life! You want me to compensate you for the flowers? "
The two security guards took note of the situation and quickly walked over.
Luo Ning, who just came out of the venue, raised his head and saw a white petal flying over. Not far away, the sound of a little girl crying could be heard.
"Miss, I am truly sorry. We were careless." The security guard didn't know how the little girl had managed to sneak in. It was likely that too many people had left at this time, so he didn't notice the little girl had entered.
Hai Jiaxin said arrogantly, "Hurry up and get that dirty thing away. I don't want to see her again!"
"Give me back my flower!" The little girl didn't want to leave. If she couldn't get the money, she would die. She was afraid.
The two security guards approached the little girl. The little girl thought that she would be taken away, so she could only run away.
"Halt!"
The little girl didn't run too far. Because she was too flustered, she tripped over. Just when the security guard was about to catch the little girl, the security guard's hand was stopped midway by Luo Ning.
"What's going on?" Luo Ning's cold gaze shocked the security guard, who quickly retracted his hand. From Luo Ning's attire, it was obvious that Luo Ning had a high status.
The little girl looked at Luo Ning blankly, not knowing what to do.
"This kid sneaked in here to sell flowers. We're taking her out." The security guard said.
Hai Jiaxin originally planned to just forget about it. She thought that it was her bad luck to encounter such a god of pests. However, seeing Luo Ning stand up for the little girl, Hai Jiaxin did not intend to forget about it.
"I'll handle it." As Luo Ning said this, he turned around, bent down and stretched out his hand towards the little girl.
Luo Ning's cold expression turned soft, "Are you alright?"
The little girl subconsciously grabbed Luo Ning's hand. Luo Ning's hand was very warm, just like Luo Ning's gentle eyes.
"Why are you selling flowers here?" Luo Ning held the little girl and asked.
The little girl lowered her head. Her eyes were red as she sobbed, "I came here because I saw there were so many people. Dad said, if, if I don't sell all those flowers, don't go back."
The little girl's thin and weak body trembled slightly. She held the broken flower tightly in her hand, and sparkling teardrops dripped onto the crumbling petal.
"It's fine, big brother will buy them all for how much it costs."
