She Lost Memory Before the Divorce-Chapter 152 - 0: Brothers Fight Tigers Together, Wise Couples Go to Battle

Chapter 152: Chapter 0152: Brothers Fight Tigers Together, Wise Couples Go to Battle

“Brothers unite to fight tigers, armies are led by fathers and sons, but for Mu Lan, it’s about couples joining forces on the battlefield.”

Huo Tingxiao had barely finished speaking when she had already started to speak up, smoothly filling in the gaps.

“Indeed, we’re all family now. Miss Sheng is the star of today’s bidding meeting, and as the eldest brother and sister-in-law, we should definitely come to cheer you on and support you.”

Sheng Xueqin looked at Mu Lan disdainfully. Cheer and support? Did she think this was the Olympics or something?

Huo Tingxiao was truly blind and foolish to cherish and pamper a woman who knew nothing about business like this.

“Cheering and supporting are unnecessary, all meaningless gestures.”

Sheng Xueqin’s tone was extremely cold, but Mu Lan didn’t care in the slightest.

“Ah, alas, it’s my own incompetence, unable to help with anything, and making a fool of myself in front of Miss Sheng.”

Huo Tingxiao gently pinched Mu Lan’s cheek with his hand.

“Nobody is mocking you, who dares to mock you? You are Mrs. Huo.”

Mu Lan initially just wanted to put on a dramatic act in front of Sheng Xueqin to really show her, but never expected Huo Tingxiao to play along surprisingly well.

She glanced at Sheng Xueqin’s face, and indeed, it was terribly unsightly. If it weren’t for being in public, she might have exploded right there and then.

Since the play was already halfway through, might as well keep on acting, huh, this’ll infuriate you, Sheng Bailian.

Mu Lan dramatically shrugged her shoulders and cooed:

“Oh my, didn’t I tell you to stop saying these cheesy things?”

“Alright, alright, I won’t make you shy in front of others from now on.”

This pampering tone nearly made Sheng Xueqin drop dead on the spot. Especially when Huo Tingxiao mentioned others, was he referring to her?

“Look, there you go speaking without considering how others feel again. Miss Sheng is not an outsider; she’s about to become the Huo family’s daughter-in-law too.

Miss Sheng, don’t blame Tingxiao. You know he’s always been like this, very straightforward. You won’t take it to heart, right?”

Sheng Xueqin’s hand by her side was tightly clenched into a fist, her nails digging painfully into her palm, and she returned the comment with a forced smile:

“Of course.”

After speaking, she snorted angrily and turned to walk towards the venue.

Mu Lan, watching Sheng Xueqin’s reaction, couldn’t help but laugh quietly to herself.

“That was an amazing performance just now. Did you see how much she seemed to hate it?

Huo Tingxiao, I never realized before, but you are pretty good at infuriating people.

However, you’re quite ruthless too, huh. Childhood friends, eh? Seems like you’re not leaving her any face at all.”

Huo Tingxiao looked at Mu Lan, not sure whether to laugh or cry.

How was he acting just now? It was simply a genuine expression of his feelings.

If he tried to explain that to Mu Lan, he would probably scare her.

Let it be, just let this clever girl be mistaken for now. She won’t be confused for long. Once she sees his true feelings, it will mean that everything he had done had already given her enough security.

“Although she and I grew up together, that doesn’t really mean anything.”

His tone was calm, yet it made Mu Lan’s heart beat frantically.

Thinking back to what the housekeeper had said, being raised under such harsh pressure by old Master Huo, he must have grown cold-hearted. Sheng Xueqin is unlucky too, having wasted all this time on the wrong person.

“Yeah, you’re right.”

The two of them walked into the venue. Since they were not participating in the bidding, they chose seats toward the back.

But before long, Lin Yize also came in, looking radiant and cheerful.

As soon as Lin Yize entered, he spotted Mu Lan. His emotions were in turmoil. After the last party, he thought that at the very least, Mu Lan would contact him to say thank you or something.

But unexpectedly, she acted as if nothing had happened at all.

That was so unlike Mu Lan’s style—she wasn’t even maintaining basic courtesy, clearly, someone must have said something.

Huo Tingxiao…

This unscrupulous man, what tricks did he use this time to interfere with his relationship with Mu Lan?

But that didn’t matter, his arrival was perfect timing to give him a grand gift!

When Huo Tingxiao saw Lin Yize, he appeared calm on the surface, but underneath, emotions were still stirring.

How could he be here? As Mu Lan was about to say something to Huo Tingxiao, she noticed him intensely staring at a certain spot. Following his gaze… Lin Yize? Sea City is indeed neither small nor big; one can always encounter familiar faces.

“He wouldn’t be here to participate in the bidding, would he?”

“I don’t know.”

Mu Lan was stunned that Huo Tingxiao would say such a thing.

“What? Aren’t you supposed to have all the information?”

Huo Tingxiao raised his eyebrows.

“This piece of land is an insipid chicken rib to me, not worthy of my attention.”

Tsk tsk tsk, look at the style of this big boss, truly unique.

Lin Yize walked to the front row and sat beside Sheng Xueqin.

This action made Huo Tingxiao have a bad feeling.

Sheng Xueqin also had not expected Lin Yize to choose the seat next to hers.

“What, Mr. Lin is also interested in today’s bid?”

Lin Yize smiled.

“Miss Sheng, why don’t you guess?”

Sheng Xueqin did not have the time to play guessing games with him.

“I’m not in the mood to guess. The piece of land on the outskirts of the city is a must-have for me, and nobody should even think about snatching it.”

The smile on Lin Yize’s face became even more inscrutable.

“Well… the outcome is hard to say.”

Sheng Xueqin’s face grew cold, and just as she was about to say something else, the bidding meeting began.

The process was actually quite boring. Mu Lan felt sleepy just listening to it. If it weren’t for Huo Tingxiao quietly explaining what was going on with each competitor, she might have fallen asleep.

Finally, the time came to bid for the most crucial suburban land.

During the opening and calling of the bids, nobody had expected Jiancheng to participate.

Huo Tingxiao narrowed his eyes; given that the land clearly had a low rate of return, what was Jiancheng’s sudden bidding about?

Had Lin Yize and Sheng Xueqin reached some sort of private agreement?

No, that couldn’t be right. Given Sheng Xueqin’s personality, she wouldn’t do such a thing.

So, what exactly was Lin Yize plotting?

Sheng Xueqin scoffed sarcastically:

“Previously Mr. Lin showed me all his courtesies, claiming he wanted to collaborate.

Little did I know, he planned to swallow this piece of cake himself.

Since when did Jiancheng become so ambitious?”

Lin Yize stayed calm, effortlessly responded:

“I’m just serving the company and sharing its concerns.

Miss Sheng surely understands that a mere president of a subsidiary like me doesn’t have much say.”

Sheng Xueqin frowned, her gaze toward Lin Yize sharpening.

“Mr. Lin, stop beating around the bush with me. Let’s make it clear, anyone who competes with me for this piece of land is declaring war against the Sheng’s.

Let me tell you, Lin Yize, I, Sheng Xueqin have decided on this land!”

Lin Yize shrugged his shoulders, showing no pressure to engage in battle.

“Then may the best player win. Losses and wins are inevitable in business, but I just hope that when the results of the evaluation come out later, Miss Sheng won’t be too disappointed.”
