Chapter 191: Chapter 191: This World Has Gone Mad
“Is this necklace pretty?” asked the well-known physics professor.
“It’s okay.”
Thus, Qiao Yun received a necklace worth five million.
“…”
Lu Zhanxing was stunned, shocked, and confused.
What was with these people?
Why were they giving his sister such an expensive gift the first time they met?
His lips quivered but he couldn’t find a way to interrupt.
The person in question was dutifully holding a glass of orange juice, like a pampered young lady spoiled by elders, sipping the juice and responding a few words.
Upon receiving a response, the group of old men instantly beamed with smiles creasing their faces.
They were almost about to give Qiao Yun a round of applause.
Lu Zhanxing: It wasn’t the world that had gone mad—it was him!
Only after the auction ended did he anxiously ask Qiao Yun,
“Sis, why did they give you something?”
He felt that something was very off.
Qiao Yun didn’t feel there was anything wrong, “When someone wants to make a good impression, they give gifts.”
That wasn’t wrong.
But why did they want to make a good impression on Qiao Yun?
Lu Zhanxing sized up Qiao Yun from head to toe. Her eyelashes were dense and long, her cheeks pale yet flushed with a healthy glow, looking so exquisite she almost didn’t seem real.
Cute, one might say, fluff-worthy.
He kind of understood, was it because his sister was adorable?
Not quite…
“I’m hungry.”
Qiao Yun interrupted Lu Zhanxing’s thoughts.
Lu Zhanxing indeed stopped thinking, “I’ll go get you some food; just wait here.”
With that, he headed towards the food area.
He hadn’t even picked up the food when a group of people surrounded him.
He’d made quite an impression today, with many seeking to delve into his background.
Lu Zhanxing had no choice but to deal with them first.
Seeing that Lu Zhanxing couldn’t get away for a while,
she turned around and walked towards the top floor.
She was going to meet Old Qi.
Lu Zhanxing hadn’t noticed that Qiao Yun had disappeared. After finally managing to deal with everyone, just as he was about to look for his sister, someone called him.
“Zhanxing?”
A handsome young man approached him.
When Lu Zhanxing saw who it was, his eyes lit up with surprise: “Qi Sheng, I didn’t expect to see you here!”
Lu Zhanxing and Qi Sheng were roommates when studying abroad.
They were very close. Later, Lu Zhanxing dropped out midway and ran back home to enter the entertainment industry.
Initially, they still kept in touch, but eventually both became busy and contact gradually decreased.
“Are you here for the party too?” Lu Zhanxing asked.
Qi Sheng smiled sheepishly, “This party is hosted by my family.”
Lu Zhanxing was taken aback.
He knew Qi Sheng’s family was wealthy, but he didn’t expect him to be a part of Hai City’s Qi Family.
The two then caught up for a while.
Qi Sheng glanced at the time and spoke a bit anxiously, “I need to leave for a bit, I have to meet Professor Qiao, can’t keep him waiting.”
He suddenly thought of something and asked Lu Zhanxing, “Do you want to come with? Haven’t you always wanted to meet Professor Qiao?”
Lu Zhanxing had studied information technology, and in this field, Professor Qiao was an expert whom he had idolized.
He was somewhat tempted by the invitation but felt a sudden visit might be improper.
“We’re friends, it’s fine,” insisted Qi Sheng, pulling him along.
“Consider it fulfilling your college dream.”
Lu Zhanxing was helplessly dragged away.
This old friend was still as warm-hearted as ever.
However, he really did want to meet Professor Qiao.
Consider it making up for the regret of his unfinished schooling.

Qiao Yun pressed the elevator button.
Her gaze unwaveringly fixed on the numbers, starting from basement one, gradually rising to the eighteenth floor.
Ding~
The elevator doors opened.
Qiao Yun raised her face, unexpectedly making eye contact with the two people inside the elevator.
Both sides were momentarily startled, apparently not expecting to encounter each other.
“Miss Lu, what are you doing here?”
Shen Qi’s eyelid twitched.
Qiao Yun didn’t reply, her eyes falling on the casually standing Li Hanzhou.
The man looked at her, his gaze deep.
