Chapter 529 — Bought as a Makeup Box
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Shrewd all his life, Fatty Lai had capsized in a gutter! Yet it was hardly his fault, for Wei Zhao had already told him to drop it, so why would he waste any thought sparring with the Kangs?
"Who said we were fighting you for that thousand-year snow lotus?" Before Fatty Lai could speak, Feng Xiaoxiao rose to her feet.
"Oh? Did I mishear just now?" Kang Zhaolong smiled slightly, showing no anger, though inwardly he frowned. This Feng Xiaoxiao was no easy mark. She had nearly fleeced Wu Chengtian to death yesterday, the little minx was sharp as they come!
"What thousand-year snow lotus? I want that box!" Feng Xiaoxiao pointed at the box holding the thousand-year snow lotus on the auction stage and said: "I just think that box looks nice and want it for a makeup box. What does that have to do with the thousand-year snow lotus?"
Feng Xiaoxiao's words chilled the auction to dead silence. So Fatty Lai had been bidding all this time just to buy a makeup box for this girl?
Kang Zhaolong sneered inwardly, you would spend a hundred million on a makeup box? Who are you trying to fool? Knowing how sly and deceitful Feng Xiaoxiao was, able to lie without blinking, Kang Zhaolong did not believe a word she said!
As he saw it, Feng Xiaoxiao had stood up now most likely to rescue Fatty Lai! After all, he had just said they were buying the thousand-year snow lotus to save lives! And Fatty Lai would now have to bow his head and yield it, but would that not cost him face?
Feng Xiaoxiao's move, then, was to spare Fatty Lai that humiliation, for what they were buying was the makeup box, not the thousand-year snow lotus, so they were not deliberately fighting him for it at all.
"Oh? So it is a makeup box you are after? Little sister Xiaoxiao certainly has unique taste!" Kang Zhaolong was no Wu Chengtian, how could he possibly believe Feng Xiaoxiao's nonsense?
"Yes, so why do you not let me have it? I so rarely take a liking to anything!" Feng Xiaoxiao gazed at Kang Zhaolong with a beaming smile, as cute as cute could be, cute enough to kill without paying for it.
Kang Zhaolong snorted coldly in his heart, trying that trick on me? Useless! Do you take me for Wu Chengtian, to be fooled so easily? Fine, Feng Xiaoxiao, I have yet to settle with you for making me spend fifteen million yesterday, and today you walk right into my hands. If I do not teach you a lesson, will you really think I, Kang Zhaolong, am easy to bully?
With that settled in his mind, Kang Zhaolong stopped looking at Feng Xiaoxiao and turned instead to Fatty Lai, asking with the same composure as before: "Mr. Lai, so what you want is this box? Not the thousand-year snow lotus?"
"Yes, I am just helping her win this box!" Fatty Lai vaguely grasped what Feng Xiaoxiao meant, and naturally played along at this moment, though his manner seemed a little forced since he did not know her full plan.
That awkwardness, falling into Kang Zhaolong's eyes, only delighted him further. Clearly Fatty Lai was saying one thing and meaning another! People say some will slap their own faces swollen to look prosperous, but if this Fatty Lai slapped his face swollen, just how fat would he get?
